Chu Ci's circumstances over the past three years remain a mystery to Chu Han. In his mind, he envisioned a lonely, hungry, and cold Chu Ci.
Chu Han reassured Chu Ci, "Don't worry, I'll find a way for you to go back to school."
Let her go to school again?
"No need." Chu Ci refused.
Chu Han replied firmly, "Don't worry, this is not a big deal for our Chu family. I will certainly find a way to restore your student status so you can return to school."
After saying this, Chu Han felt that something was wrong.
Isn't he hurting Chu Ci's heart by saying this is not a big deal to the Chu family?
Meng Yuxin smiled and said to Chu Ci:"Chu Han is correct, studying is necessary. When is your birthday? We must be the same age."
"August."
"November is my birth month, so I'll refer to you as my sister," Meng Yuxin said.
Chu Ci didn't care how this person addressed her and said, "It's up to you."
"Cousin, if you are my age, you should be in your third year of high school. However, if you dropped out of junior high school and restarted, you may need to begin from the first year of high school."
Meng Yuxin said, "Don't worry, cousin. My aunt is the vice-chairman of our school's parent association and my uncle is the school director. Even if your grades are not good, they can arrange for you to study at our school."
Meng Yuxin and Chu Han are both attending Huayue Private School. Meng Yuxin is a third-year student while Chu Han is a first-year student.
"Don't bother, I don't want to study."
Chu Ci appeared disinterested.
She believed that individuals who did not read were less appealing than the Western food in front of her.
Seeing her like this, Chu Han looked unhappy.
"How could she be so willing to fall into such a self-destructive state if she had no knowledge, skills, and no desire to make progress?" asked Chu Han with concern.
Meng Yuxin smiled as he lowered his head slightly and replied, "It's not easy to break out of old habits. But there's always a way to learn and improve."
Chu Han thought for a moment and carefully chose his words. "Education can give you many opportunities. You don't want to end up doing menial jobs like serving tables in restaurants or carrying bricks on construction sites, do you?"
Chu Ci replied, "Is it also helpful to carry plates and bricks in the future?" By carrying dishes and moving bricks, Chu Ci can earn more merit points, but the value of the merit system that binds her is based on its own moral values, rather than the values of human society.
Therefore, the 10 million Chu Ci earned through her normal work could only be exchanged for a few days.
However, if she actually moves bricks, the system will recognize her hard work. Furthermore, if she donates a portion of her earnings, she can extend her lifespan.
Chu Ci's words completely changed Chu Han's expression: "How could you..."
Meng Yuxin tried to resolve the situation by saying, "Xiao Han, please don't be upset. It's important to remember that everyone's perception and understanding of the world is shaped by their life experiences. Cousin grew up in an environment like that, so it's understandable why she has those thoughts."
However, Meng Yuxin's words didn't help ease Chu Han's mind, but instead made her feel uneasy without any clear reason.
"Never mind, let's just say that I had good intentions even if I did something wrong. If you don't want to forgive me, I won't force you," Chu Han said, feeling guilty about what she did to Chu Ci.
However, he struggled to accept his biological sister's beliefs, making it difficult for him to reconcile, and his feelings of rejection intensified.
Meng Yuxin looked down and saw that Chu Han remained silent, so she didn't say anything further..
Chu Ci disregarded the opinions of the other two diners and simply focused on enjoying her meal.
