Chapter 184: Never Give In

“What’s there to be ashamed of if I didn’t graduate from high school?” Shen Hanxing looked surprised. “Did the country dictate that people who didn’t graduate from high school can’t go out? Or are you saying I can’t live without that diploma?”

The professor who asked the question earlier looked a little embarra.s.sed. He looked at Shen Hanxing apologetically and said, “Indeed, no matter whether you have a diploma or not, as long as you live your life honestly, it’s the same no matter what you do.”

“A diploma can not prove anything,” Xu Jinhe nodded in agreement. “The fact that Mrs. Ji does not have a high school diploma further emphasizes that she is extremely talented. I wonder if you have any plans to return to school, Mrs. Ji?” His gaze was gentle, and he looked at Shen Hanxing with eyes full of appreciation for talented individuals.

Shen Hanxing had always admired these people who focused on academic research. When she heard this, she did not hide anything. She nodded and said, “Previously, I had to halt my studies because of some family matters. Now, I’m getting ready for exams and preparing for next year’s College Entrance Examination.”

“When the time comes, you should come to our school.” When he heard this, the smile on Xu Jinhe’s face grew even wider. “In the future, you can learn from me. Isn’t it just right to become my student?”

“Sigh, Old Xu, you’re so self-centered. There’s still half a year before the college entrance exam, and you’re already starting to s.n.a.t.c.h people away?” The other professors in the elevator were instantly disgruntled. One after another, they said, “That’s not the only way, Mrs. Ji. Our school isn’t bad either. When the time comes, come to our school. I’ll make an exception and bring you along to follow the program.”

Once these words were said, the other professors also volunteered one after another. Shen Hanxing became the topic of conversation. Everyone was fighting over her. Shen Sisi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. There was a moment of malevolence in Shen Sisi’s expression, then she couldn’t help but say, “She hasn’t even sat for the college entrance exam yet. What’s the point of saying all this? Some people fight all day when they’re in school. Don’t be so stupid that you can’t even get into a specialized school. You’d become a laughingstock!”

“You don’t have to worry about that.” Shen Hanxing’s expression was the same as usual as she said calmly, “I’ll go to whatever school I can get into with whatever results I get. You don’t have to meddle in other people’s business.”

“You! Other than your sharp tongue, what else can you do?!” Shen Sisi said angrily, “When the college entrance exam results are out next year, Mrs. Ji of the Ji Corporation will only have a pitiful few points. It would be so embarra.s.sing!”

“My wife only wants to study, why would it be embarra.s.sing? Ji Corporation will never think that Mrs. Ji has embarra.s.sed us.” Ji Yan stood tall and straight, as cold and lofty as a mountain. He lowered his eyes and said calmly, “The Ji Corporation will only ever be proud of Mrs. Ji. Most importantly…” his gaze was cold, and his dark eyes exuded pressure. He continued, “I believe in my wife’s abilities. As long as she wants to, which school can she not get into?”

“You’re right,” Xu Jinhe nodded in agreement. “Mrs. Ji is extremely talented. She should be my student.”

“Dream on!” the other professors laughed and teased.

This was the first time Shen Sisi faced Ji Yan’s gaze. Under the immense pressure, she could not help but turn pale. Even her legs and stomach felt weak. Then, jealousy swallowed her heart. Why? Why did Shen Hanxing, who grew up in the slums and only knew how to fight; who even her biological father did not want; who could only be her subst.i.tute and marry into the Ji family… Why did so many people praise her! Why did she have the strong, handsome, and perfect love of a man like Ji Yan?

All of this should have been hers!

As she was worried about Zhuang Li beside her, even though Shen Sisi tried her best to hide her expression, her eyes could not help but reveal her dissatisfaction.

The elevator rang and they arrived at the restaurant. Zhuang Li took Shen Sisi out of the elevator first. Suddenly, he stopped and turned around. He said, “CEO Ji, let’s meet in the business world. I will definitely carry out the development of the east side of the city. I will not give in!”

“Then you must work harder, Second Master Zhuang,” Ji Yan looked at him coldly. He said meaningfully, “If you only spend your time and energy on such a woman, you won’t be able to beat me.” After he finished speaking, he did not want to give Shen Sisi and Zhuang Li another look. He led Shen Hanxing and the others into the private room, leaving Zhuang Li with a dark expression and Shen Sisi who felt deeply humiliated.

Was Ji Yan blind? He only knew how to protect Shen Hanxing who was nothing but a pretty airhead! Shen Sisi bit her lip with hatred. She hooked Zhuang Li’s arm and stomped her feet. She said, “Zhuang Li, you must defeat them and teach them a lesson!”

“Teach who a lesson?” Zhuang Li flung his hand away abruptly and grabbed her neck with an angry expression. “Shen Sisi, do you think I’m an id*ot? You dare to flirt with Ji Yan in front of me?”
