Chapter 65 - 65 Heiress
65 Heiress
“We also received a call from your homeroom teacher. Xi Xi, you said that your studies were at the bottom of the class, so you wanted to transfer to Rong City High School, but your homeroom teacher said on the phone that your grades were very good. Are you worried that our family doesn’t have money and don’t want to make things difficult for us? So you lied to us and said that your grades weren’t good?” Shen Yan looked at Shen Xi and asked.
Shen Xi didn’t expect her homeroom teacher to call Shen Yan. This time, she was exposed.
Initially, Shen Xi was afraid that Shen Yan and the others couldn’t afford the tuition fees of Zhuo Ying High School, so she lied and said that her grades were bad. It would be very stressful to study at Zhuo Ying High School, so she wanted to transfer schools. When she went to do the transfer procedures, she also went when her homeroom teacher wasn’t around. She didn’t expect that she still got exposed.
“Xi Xi, don’t transfer anymore. Study at Zhuo Ying High School. This small amount of money is still affordable,” Shen Yan said heroically.
When Shen Xi heard Shen Yan say that Zhuo Ying High School’s tuition was a small amount of money, she wondered if she had heard wrongly. That was an international high school with an annual tuition of 800,000 yuan. 800,000 yuan wasn’t a small amount of money.
“Yes, yes, Xi Xi. Don’t transfer anymore. Just because of that small amount of money, we’ve delayed your studies. I feel that it’s not worth it,” Lu Shan sobbed as she said with a sobbing tone.
Shen Yan also said from the side, “In the past, Xue’er’s grades weren’t good. It naturally didn’t matter where she studied. Anyway, after she turns 20, we would have sent her abroad to study. Her academic qualifications would also look good when she comes back. But you’re different. You have academic talent, so you can’t just bury it.”
Shen Xi felt that something was wrong with her ears. It was fine if her father said that 800,000 yuan was just a small amount of money, but her mother actually said the same thing. Could it be that the couple hadn’t woken up yet? They still wanted to send Jiang Xue to study abroad? Where did they get the money?
Shen Xi was very helpless, but in order not to hurt her parents’self-esteem, she still said in a weak and tactful voice, “Dad, Mom, that 800,000 yuan isn’t a small amount of money.”
Shen Yan sighed helplessly and said, “It’s time to tell you the truth.”
The truth? What truth? Shen Xi thought that her parents might be thieves yesterday. Could it be that there was an even more thrilling thing waiting for her today?
Thinking of this, Shen Xi felt a headache coming.
Shen Yan looked at Shen Xi and asked, “Do you know the four major financial groups in Jing City?”
Shen Xi nodded in confusion. She had heard of the four major financial groups in Jing City. They were the Guan family, the Shen family, the Lin family, and the Lu family. However, what kind of relationship could such a top-tier financial group have with their family? Could it be that their parents had provoked a financial group?
Shen Xi was deeply worried. It was already very difficult for their family to deal with the Jiang family alone. If they were to go up against a top-tier financial group, wouldn’t they be destroyed in an instant?
Even families like the Jiang family and the Xiang family wouldn’t be able to withstand a top-tier financial group, not to mention that their family had no power or influence.
Just as Shen Xi was planning to escape abroad, Shen Yanyu said shockingly, “I am the only son of the Shen Financial Group, Shen Yan. Your mother is the only daughter of the Lu Financial Group, Lu Shan.”
Shen Xi felt that she might be dreaming, so she quickly closed her eyes. After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes again, but she still saw her parents’ serious faces.
It wasn’t a dream. Her parents must be having a fever. They must be talking nonsense!
Shen Xi went forward and touched her parents’ foreheads with her hands. Then, she touched her own foreheads. The temperature was normal!
Shen Yan knew that Shen Xi didn’t believe her, so she frowned and said, “Your mother and I are both normal. We don’t have a fever, and we’re not talking nonsense. You’re not dreaming now.”
Shen Xi pulled a smile and said, “Father and mother, don’t joke with me anymore. I know that my family is poor, but I don’t care at all. Maybe you think that I went out to work and suffered, so you want me to be happy. You want me to imagine that I’m some rich heiress.”
Shen Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and continued, “But, can’t you say something reliable? For example, we are the descendants of the ancient noble families that have declined in the past, and our family has left behind some treasure map. This way, I might be able to trust you guys more easily. “The people of the Lu Group and the Shen Group are still in the world. This isn’t something to joke about.”
