Chapter 252: Enrollment
The Shui Family actually has the nerve to want the Madam’s jade pendant back in their letter!
That jade pendant is indeed a holy object of the Shui Family, but it’s not exclusive to the Saintess. It was the elder ancestor who chose to pass it on to the Madam—
No, according to the Madam, the elder ancestor had it all figured out that the jade pendant truly belonged to Miss Xiaohua!
For the Shui Family to belittle Miss Xiaohua like this, unwilling to lend a helping hand in times of need, and still have the face to demand they "return" the jade pendant?!
Nanny cried and laughed from anger, her current state looked somewhat frightening.
Besides, no one knows where that jade pendant went long ago. It might have been stolen by that man from the Yin Family, or perhaps it was taken by that ridiculous Shui Aunt? Who knows!
Ridiculous, too ridiculous!
For a moment, Nanny couldn’t tell if she was saying others were ridiculous or if she was saying she herself was.
She felt helpless, and now the only thing she could do was pray for Miss Xiaohua, hoping that the girl named Chen Muxue is a truly good person.
"A truly good person" Chen Muxue, waved goodbye early in the morning as she sent Changgui and Xiaohua onto the Huo Family’s carriage. Once they were gone, she touched her heart with slight pain.
The black qi wrapped faintly around her right hand, already gradually spreading from her ring finger to her middle finger.
Why are clothes so expensive... and kids grow so fast, aren’t they going to need new ones soon?
The Huo Family Academy, though it waived tuition fees, who would have thought that the biggest expense for attending this academy would be clothes?!
Still, Chen Muxue thought the money had to be spent; it wasn’t about trying to outdo others. She didn’t choose the most expensive options, just picked materials that would not make them stand out among the students of Huo Family Academy.
She didn’t want the two children to be isolated on their first day of school because of their clothes.
Changgui excitedly got off the carriage, carrying a box of custard mooncakes with a flowing filling that Chen Muxue had made earlier.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival! The Sect Leader said that on the first day, they should build good relationships with classmates, share delicious food to naturally build rapport.
Of course, the Sect Leader also secretly mentioned that if the cafeteria food is actually not tasty, then eat the mooncakes to fill the stomach a bit and have good food waiting at home tonight, hehe.
Only the little kids from the Enlightenment Institute go home every day; students like Changgui typically take one day off every ten days, but since tomorrow happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, they’ll have a day off for the holiday, so they can go home tonight.
Actually, Chen Muxue wanted them to start school after the Mid-Autumn Festival; missing one day’s not a big deal, but Changgui was quite eager.
Later, Chen Muxue thought, well, it’s fine too. After one day they can come back and give feedback, that’s not a loss either.
Huo Lian had long arranged for the two children, placing Changgui into the primary school’s Spirit Armor class, where "Spirit" indicates that the children in the class all possess Spirit Roots.
Changgui stepped happily into the class, only to be greeted by multiple gazes that instantly froze his joy, making him awkwardly touch his head.
"Is this the new kid?" A tall and skinny boy said, sizing up Changgui from head to toe.
Faced with his gaze, Changgui felt quite uncomfortable and awkwardly chuckled, "Hello everyone, I am Chen Changgui, the new student."
"Looks quite shabby too, not a single jade accessory on him, yet he can come straight into our Spirit Armor class?" Another freckled-faced boy sneered, "I really wonder what connections were used, I’m so curious!"
His tone was very sarcastic and odd.
