Tan Rou liked the gift that Lan Ning was going to give her. It was not worth much, but it was made with Lan Ningâs heart, so Tan Rou was looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Chen Yao was sitting behind them. When she heard that Tan Rou was getting engaged, she was both jealous and angry. After Liang Lu went to the Capital City Film University, Chen Yao had no chance to let Liang Lu return to her own university. Li Jing scolded Chen Yao and even asked her to return the money she gave Chen Yao.
Chen Yao didnât want to return the money to Li Jing, but Li Jing said that if Chen Yao didnât return the money to her, she would settle the score with Chen Yaoâs counselor and even get the Capital University to expel Chen Yao. Chen Yao returned the money to Li Jing after she threatened her. However, she had already spent all the money. She had borrowed the money to return to Li Jing, but she still had not repaid the money she owed.
Hearing that Tan Rou had invited Lan Ning to attend her engagement ceremony, Chen Yao wanted to grab Lan Ning and beat her up right now. They were so close when they were young, so why was Lan Ning so cold to her now? In the dormitory, Lan Ning treated Chen Yao as air. No matter what Chen Yao said to her, Lan Ning wouldnât open her mouth.
Damn it, since Lan Ning wouldnât introduce her to rich friends, she would fight for her own chance.
âTan Rou, are you getting engaged this summer?â Chen Yao smiled and walked over. âAre you engaged to the Zhuang familyâs head?â
The smile on Tan Ronâs face instantly disappeared. âWho do you think you are to interfere with who I get engaged to?â
âTan Rou, can 1 attend your engagement ceremony?â Chen Yao asked shamelessly. âIf you want embroidery, I can give it to you.â
Tan Rou rejected Chen Yao directly. âThereâs no need for that. I already have one.â
âWhere is your engagement?â Chen Yao asked, unwilling to give up. âIâll prepare another gift for you.â
âThere will be a lot of people there that day. There might not be a seat for you. You shouldnât prepare a gift. Itâs a waste of money,â Tan Rou said with a smile.
Since Tan Rou had already said so, if Chen Yao continued to ask, she would be shameless. âIf you donât want me to go, then 1 wonât. Who cares about your wedding?â
The other students all thought that Chen Yao was too funny. That was the engagement ceremony between the eldest daughter of the Tao family and the head of the Zhuang family, everyone would want to go. Unfortunately, not everyone could get an invitation. He hoped that Tan Rou would invite them to take a look on account that they were classmates.
Tan Rou wasnât affected by Chen Yaoâs words. She flipped open her textbook and planned to read for a while. As soon as she sat down, her phone rang. She opened it and saw that Principal Zhang was looking for her.
Principal Zhang wouldnât be giving her a certificate again, would he? Tan Rou didnât think that she had done anything important. She had only donated some money when the research building was being rebuilt.
Tan Rou replied, âPrincipal, if youâre looking for me to give me a certificate, then thereâs no need. I wonât accept your certificate.â
Principal Zhang immediately typed a reply. âTan Rou, come to the principalâs office now. There are a few people who claim to be your old friends looking for you.â
Tan Rou was puzzled. Was she an old friend? Indeed, Old Wu, Old Zhong, and the others were quite old. They would be lying in their coffins in a few years.
But why were they looking for him now? Could it be that he also came to give her a congratulatory gift after hearing the news of her engagement?
âIâm going out for a while. If the professor takes attendance, just say that I went to the toilet.â Tan Rou stood up and left.
Li Ke didnât ask where she had gone. She just told her to focus on her own matters. If the professor mentioned Tan Ronâs name, she would answer the questions on Tan Ronâs behalf.
Tan Rou smiled. âThank you.â
In Tan Ronâs heart, Li Li was her best friend; even Tian Tian couldnât compare to her. If Li Li was willing to be her sister, she could bring Li Li back to see her grandparents now. However, Li Liâs parents were still around, so she decided not to snatch their daughter away.
Tan Rou arrived at the principalâs office. Before she entered, she saw Principal Zhang pouring tea for the old men.
Tan Rou recognized these old men. They were indeed her old friends. However, after not seeing them for so many years, these old friends were getting older and older. They probably didnât have many years left to live.
âPrincipal Zhang, why did you call me over? If you donât have anything important to do, iâll go back to class first,â said Tan Rou..
