The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(28)
Chapter 28: You Work Very Hard, I Can See It
In fact, both of them were quite intelligent.
Xiaoyu was quick-witted and learned fast. However, the knowledge he was acquiring was a bit advanced for a kindergarten child, so he found it challenging and required some time.
Jiang Chenchen, on the other hand, had only completed one year of primary school and had not attended any formal education since. Learning through the system required time and memory.
Yet, her memory was extraordinary; she remembered everything taught.
After overcoming the initial adjustment period, the teaching process was quite rapid.
The private tutor, Xia Changli, was in her early twenties, responsible, and patient. Though she was curious about Jiang Chenchen, she didn't ask too many questions and focused solely on teaching.
Jiang Chenchen, who rarely spoke unless
necessary, was highly efficient in her studies, wasting no time.
During this period, Sheng Mingsi also supervised Jiang Chenchen's studies during his free time, which further accelerated her progress.
After half a month, the intense pace of learning became a bit overwhelming for the young boy.
To continue speeding up their learning, Sheng Mingsi decided to send the child back home. Despite Xiaoyu's fondness for the place, he missed his dad, so he happily returned home after two weeks.
Jiang Chenchen's learning pace accelerated. She slept only five hours a day, using the remaining time for studying. For someone like her, who had fallen behind, catching up required relentless effort.
Sheng Mingsi had Xia Changli stay over, offering substantial compensation. However, she didn't stay in the main house but in a separate residence with the housekeeper.
Being in desperate need of money, Xia Changli willingly agreed.
Sheng Mingsi planned to have Jiang Chenchen enroll in a private school for the senior year next year, aiming to secure a spot in a university. The goal wasn't necessarily a top-tier university; the key was for her to get in and choose a suitable major for future self-reliance.
Jiang Chenchen immersed herself in a secluded study routine, rarely leaving the house. During this time, her uncle, Jiang Zhong, was desperately trying to contact her.
The company was on the brink of collapse, and the situation with Li Zong's family was almost irreversible. The only solution was for Jiang Chenchen to marry Li Zong's son, something Jiang Zhong pinned all his hopes on. He was so desperate that he even went to the Sheng Corporation headquarters, but to no avail.
Left with no other options, he attempted to use his own daughter to salvage the remaining losses.
However, Zhang Lanmei vehemently opposed this, leading to another round of physical abuse.
...
Subsequently, news reached Jiang Chenchen through newspapers that Jiang Zhong had been murdered by his wife, Zhang Lanmei, who voluntarily turned herself in.
...
Jiang Chenchen was completely unaware of these events. She dedicated herself to studying, even sleeping for only two hours a night.
Even Sheng Mingsi, who was accustomed to late-night work, couldn't bear to interrupt her. "Jiang Chenchen, you should sleep when it's time to sleep."
Jiang Chenchen looked up from her books, her eyes showing signs of fatigue, "But if I don't work hard, I won't be able to be with you."
She said it with utmost sincerity, her exhausted eyes fixed on him.
Sheng Mingsi's eyes twitched slightly. For a moment, he couldn't meet her gaze. His voice sounded tense, almost cold, "If you keep pushing yourself like this, you'll lose more than just your life. Stop it."
Jiang Chenchen shook her head, "I'm not tired..."
Sheng Mingsi's tone was non-negotiable, "Go to sleep."
Approaching her, he took the book from her hands, looking down at her, "You work very hard. I can see it."
As the book was taken from her, Jiang Chenchen instinctively grabbed his hand. Hearing his words, she raised her eyes.
Their gazes locked.
