Chapter 325: Chapter 326: Truly Promising

"It’s alright, I know it’s not easy for you to make a trip to South City," Ji Shuyuan replied, "Your grandpa’s health is still okay, though he can only lie at home, move around a bit inside. Knowing that you’ve finished your exams for college entrance, he’s been urging us to come over. How about you, did you get into university?"

Ji Shuyuan asked with concern. He should have visited earlier, but he was busy. Since both his parents were working at the factory, the visit was put off until August.

"That’s good to hear."

Xu Nianhua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her grandfather was doing much better. She smiled and said, "Both my second brother and I got accepted into universities in Beining. I was admitted to Beining University, and my second brother to Ningbei Medical University."

"Impressive, you and your brother are truly amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuyuan smiled and praised, "You’ve really made something of yourselves and brought glory to our Ji Family."

"Shuhong probably didn’t do as well as you, he got into South City Normal University," Ji Shuyuan thought of Ji Shuhong. If it weren’t for some last-minute cramming, he might not have made it into any university, let alone a good one.

"Brother Shuyuan, getting into any university is a good thing," Xu Nianhua remembered, Ji Shuhong must be a year younger than her, who later seemed to become an elementary school teacher.

"It’s great that you applied to universities in Beining, you can go see your eldest uncle and his family. It’s like having people you know who can look after you a bit."

Ji Shuyuan’s words made Xu Nianhua smile awkwardly, not continuing the conversation. She wanted to attend Beining University in Beining because the foreign language major there was among the top in the country. If he hadn’t mentioned it, she might have forgotten that her eldest uncle’s family was all in Beining.

Her aunt was from Beining, working in a paper factory. Xu Nianhua didn’t know whether her aunt’s life was good or not, but the few times she did see her, she was always well-dressed, clearly a city dweller.

"By the way, Brother Shuyuan, what was Gao Jianshe just telling you? He seemed rather unfriendly," Xu Nianhua changed the subject.

Ji Shuyuan gave a brief explanation of what had just happened.

Xu Nianhua sighed and said, "That? You should just ignore it, Brother Shuyuan. He and his wife often fight. Be careful with Gao Jianshe, though; he’s petty. But since my second brother taught him a lesson, he’s been much more behaved."

"Has he ever bullied you?" Ji Shuyuan’s eyes narrowed instantly.

Xu Nianhua was taken aback, feeling his concern, and she felt a warmth in her heart. She said, "Brother Shuyuan, no, and even if there was anything in the past, after my second brother’s lesson, he couldn’t even walk properly. With my eldest brother and second brother looking out for me, I don’t have any worries."

"That’s as it should be, you’re a girl and the younger sister; of course, they should protect you," Ji Shuyuan said, then asked, "Did Gao Jianshe say that furniture factory is managed by your uncle?"

"Yes."

Xu Nianhua, realizing belatedly, introduced, "My dad and his apprentice, Xu Song, started it together. Do you want to take a look?"

"Sure." Ji Yuan handed over the snacks and fruit he had brought and said, "Here’s something for you to eat, give it a try."

"No rush."

Xu Nianhua smiled as she spoke, leading Ji Shuyuan toward the furniture factory.

Ji Shuyuan didn’t say much, silently following behind Xu Nianhua. When he saw the spacious furniture factory, he thought that her uncle’s family really had changed from the past. For starters, just the furniture factory itself must be worth at least several thousand, right?

"Dad, Brother Shuyuan is here," Xu Nianhua found Xu Qinghe in the workshop amidst the shrill sound of machinery and wood shavings floating in the air.
