If it were otherwise, he wouldn’t have been banished to such a godforsaken place.

Shi Wenli snorted softly.

Even Jiang Shaoyun thought Lu Ye liked Lin Wu.

What a joke!

Lu Ye was nice to Lin Wu because he mistook her for his life-saving benefactor. When Lu Ye realized that Lin Wu wasn’t his real savior, what would Lin Wu count for then?

Lin Wu wouldn’t even qualify as a passerby A.

Saturday.

Lin Wu woke up at six o’clock in the morning, her first act to wash up, change clothes, and then go for a run.

When she left the house, she didn’t forget to drag the still-sleeping Shaliva along with her.

Shaliva was completely befuddled, meowed at Lin Wu, then reluctantly followed her footsteps.

Soon.

The courtyard’s running track saw the addition of two figures: a person and a cat.

Lin Wu ran ahead, while Shaliva chased behind, occasionally attempting to hide in the bushes for a snooze, only to be mercilessly pulled out by Lin Wu.

Out of options,

Shaliva had no choice but to resignedly trot behind Lin Wu.

Forty minutes later.

Lin Wu stopped running and slowly walked back.

Shaliva couldn’t walk anymore and languidly perched on Lin Wu’s shoulder.

The passing neighbors greeted Lin Wu warmly.

"Xiao Wu, not going to school today yet you woke up so early?"

"Ah yo, that cat is really cute!"

"Xiao Wu is smart, but I never expected the cat you raised to be smart too."

"..."

Clearly.

Lin Wu was now exceedingly popular in the courtyard, practically a little star.

She wasn’t conceited and politely greeted everyone.

Watching Lin Wu’s departing figure, people couldn’t help but exclaim, "Xiao Wu is a child with great prospects!"

"I think so too!"

An auntie walking her grandson said in a regretful tone, "Can’t you learn from your sister Xiao Wu?"

By the time Lin Wu got home, Lin Guixiang had already prepared breakfast and was currently practicing her spoken English with recordings.

As soon as Lin Wu arrived, Lin Guixiang immediately turned off the recording, "Xiao Wu is back."

Lin Wu changed into her slippers and smiled, "Mom, your spoken English is getting pretty good."

She’d just heard Lin Guixiang’s English before she entered the house.

The pronunciation was very clear and the accent was quite standard, unlike a beginner.

This was also related to Lin Guixiang’s diligence.

In order to learn English well, not only did she practice speaking in her spare time, but she also listened to English songs often, and occasionally she would converse in English with Lin Wu.

In short.

She didn’t miss any opportunity to learn.

Furthermore,

Lin Guixiang hadn’t given up on Chinese classical studies.

Every night before going to bed, she would read a bit about famous people and their teachings.

On Saturday and Sunday nights, she would read some historical classics.

If it had been before,

if someone asked Lin Guixiang who Emperor Taizong of Tang was,

Lin Guixiang surely would have no clue.

But now, not only did she know who Emperor Taizong of Tang was, but she could also discuss the entire history of the Tang Dynasty with others.

Hearing this, Lin Guixiang smiled and looked up, "Really?"

"Really." Lin Wu nodded slightly, sat at the dining table, took a bite of a steamed bun, "Mom, you really have a great talent."

If it weren’t for family circumstances holding Lin Guixiang back, her early life definitely wouldn’t have been so miserable.

Lin Guixiang felt somewhat embarrassed being praised and then said, "I made some noodles, do you want to eat?"

"Yes."

Lin Guixiang brought over a bowl of tossed noodles from the kitchen.

The noodles were mixed with coriander and vinegar, along with Lin Guixiang’s secret sauce, which was extremely tasty, especially on a summer morning, it was simply celestial!

"So delicious!" Lin Wu gave Lin Guixiang a thumbs up, "It’s such a pity we didn’t open a restaurant back in the day with your cooking skills."

Lin Guixiang, seeing her daughter eating so happily, instantly felt overwhelmed with happiness, "If you like it, eat more, I’ve made plenty."

"Alright."

While eating, Lin Guixiang said, "Xiao Wu, the renovation of the new shop has been arranged, since their houses are all self-built and not easy to trade, so we’ve signed a ten-year contract with them."

Lin Wu nodded slightly, "Mom, have you looked at the shops in the west side of the city?"

"I’ve seen a few, but it seems like the locations aren’t very good," Lin Guixiang replied.

Lin Wu picked up a peanut, "The main thing is the shop layout; location is secondary. Shop prices are changing daily, if you see something suitable, hurry and buy two in the west side of the city."

Hearing this, Lin Guixiang frowned slightly, "Xiao Wu, shouldn’t we wait until the new store opens to see how it does?"

The new store was situated in a very remote location, and originally Lin Guixiang thought to wait for the store to open and see how it fared before deciding whether to buy shops in the city’s west side.
