Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 697 - 700: Don’t Be Too Arrogant

Wen Shufei finally felt relieved, and the jealousy she had harbored towards Feiling was no more, as were her prejudices against Yangyang and Lele and Xinxin.

Although Wen Shufei and Jing Hao still had issues in their marriage, Wen Shufei’s attitude towards Feiling had improved significantly, though privately, she still felt some bitterness because her daughter wasn’t as smart.

At that time abroad, although Xiao Shan Yue and Shitou attended the same university, Xiao Shan Yue was a graduate student, and Shitou was a doctoral student, they weren’t together.

Moreover, Xiao Shan Yue was having a really hard time with her coursework, so she had to devote more time and energy and didn’t have time to see Shitou.

Originally, after Xiao Shan Yue went abroad, Shitou had arranged a place for her, the Gao family had bought an apartment near the campus where Shitou, Xiao Shu, and the Bodyguard lived together, and occasionally a part-time housekeeper came to help out.

However, when Xiao Shan Yue came to report, it just so happened that Shitou was away on a field trip, and Xiao Shan Yue met her deskmate An Qian, a Chinese girl.

An Qian lived alone and got along well with Xiao Shan Yue, so she invited Xiao Shan Yue to share a rental with her.

Xiao Shan Yue thought about it for a while and agreed, Brother Shitou was good to her, but she didn’t want to bother him too much, and since the living arrangements were close, Xiao Shan Yue didn’t end up living with Shitou.

Shitou respected Xiao Shan Yue’s decision, it was initially to take care of her that he arranged for her to move in, but now he realized it might not be appropriate.

After all, there is a difference between men and women, and everyone here was male, the housekeeper doesn’t live here either, she only comes occasionally.

Xiao Shu was very curious about Xiao Shan Yue, and being overseas, he was not as constrained as he was in China. Now, Xiao Shu and Xiao Shan Yue were also graduate school classmates, just in different fields.

Nevertheless, since Xiao Shu had been in this school for his undergraduate studies, he was very familiar with the campus and sometimes nodded politely when he saw Xiao Shan Yue.

Xiao Shan Yue returned the politeness with a smile. Even though she was in a foreign land, seeing her fellow countrymen steadied her heart.

Not to mention that Xiao Shan Yue was acquainted with the Gao family, and besides Xi Jiashu, Brother Shitou was also there—Xiao Shan Yue quickly adapted to the environment here.

"Shanyue, do you know Gao Jiashu?" An Qian asked looking at Xiao Shan Yue.

"I guess so," Xiao Shan Yue said.

"You either know him or you don’t, what does ’guess’ even mean?" An Qian was speechless.

"I’m actually closer to Gao Jiashu’s brother and sister," Xiao Shan Yue explained.

"Gao Jiashu has a brother and sister? Isn’t it allowed to have only one child in your country?" An Qian was curious.

"They are my cousins," Xiao Shan Yue replied with a slight smile.

An Qian nodded and then said aloud, "Since you know him, why don’t you introduce me to Gao Jiashu?"

"Why do you want to meet Gao Jiashu?" Xiao Shan Yue asked.

"What do you mean why? Such an outstanding guy, if I don’t seize the opportunity now, I might lose it later."

Hearing An Qian’s statement, Xiao Shan Yue replied, "You’re thinking too much. We’re just how old? Alright, you’re nineteen, but Gao Jiashu is only eighteen."

"So what? My mom is three years older than my dad, and their love is still passionate."

An Qian’s description made Xiao Shan Yue laugh, "I can’t help you with this for now since I’m not well acquainted with him, let’s talk about it when we know each other better in the future."

Xiao Shan Yue didn’t agree to help, as she felt they should be focusing on their studies since the coursework here was incredibly heavy. Even though Xiao Shan Yue adapted to the school environment quickly, the coursework was still overwhelming her. Where would she find the time to think about anything else?

An Qian hurriedly said, "Hey, aren’t you close with his brother and sister? You must be close to him too, please help me out."

An Qian looked at Xiao Shan Yue with a pleading expression, full of longing.

Xiao Shan Yue helplessly replied, "Look, when Gao Jiashu sees me, he just politely nods his head and then walks away. He doesn’t come over to greet me, nor does he smile or chat. If I suddenly approach him, it might give him a bad impression, and you wouldn’t want us to have a bad impression in his eyes, right?"

Given Xiao Shan Yue’s analysis, An Qian nodded her head, realizing it was perhaps too hasty to push.

Xiao Shan Yue then said, "We have exams coming up soon, focus on your studies first."

An Qian replied, "Studying is important, but I also want to have a relationship. My parents never allowed me to date before. I’ve worked hard to get into a graduate program, and now I just want to experience a romance."

Xiao Shan Yue couldn’t understand An Qian, she didn’t think as much as An Qian did and felt speechless about her constant desire to find someone to date.

At that moment, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty walked over and greeted An Qian, "Dear An Qian, is this your new friend?"

"Yes, Yelena, this is my new friend, Shanyue Xi," An Qian introduced.

"From the same country as you?" Yelena raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Shanyue Xi comes from my motherland," An Qian answered all of Yelena’s questions.

Yelena glanced at Xiao Shan Yue and said, "Recently, your motherland has sent a lot of talented individuals here, but this is my country’s territory. You’d better keep your people in check and not be too arrogant, otherwise, some might find it offensive."

"What do you mean by that, Yelena?" An Qian frowned.

Yelena tugged at the corner of her mouth, "A heads-up for you, since we know each other. Lately, people from your country are getting too much attention, and naturally, that breeds jealousy."

"Who?"

But when An Qian asked, Yelena didn’t answer and just shrugged her shoulders and walked away.

Xiao Shan Yue asked An Qian, "Are you close with her?"

"Not really, Yelena comes from a notable family, the Hein Family. Although she has a peculiar personality and is not easy to get along with, what she said is probably true."

Upon hearing An Qian’s remark, Xiao Shan Yue frowned slightly. Currently, the most notable individuals were naturally Brother Shitou and several outstanding nationals including Gao Jiashu, and she wondered if she was included in that list.

"Who do you think she is referring to?" Xiao Shan Yue still wanted to confirm.

An Qian replied, "Who else could it be? The most prominent person in this school."

Xiao Shan Yue turned pale, worried that something might happen to Brother Shitou. Being abroad and on foreign soil, if they targeted Brother Shitou, what could they do?

This wasn’t their home country, so Xiao Shan Yue was somewhat concerned at that moment.

An Qian reassured her, "You don’t need to worry. Our people from the motherland are not so easily bullied. Before, they looked down on us, and now that a few outstanding individuals from our country have outshone them, naturally, they feel resentful. Pfft, all so arrogant, thinking they are the most important; if they’re so great, where do they stand?"

"Are you talking about a group of people?" Xiao Shan Yue asked.

"Indeed, a group of people, like Doctor Gao Peize and others."
