Chapter 180 – Could This Be About Marriage?!Next was the Etiquette Cla.s.s.

In the past, there were more students in cla.s.s A than in cla.s.s B, and the cla.s.ses were conducted separately. However, due to the diminis.h.i.+ng number of students taking part in the medical school examination each year, the two cla.s.ses were combined for some courses.

Ye Zhen had long been familiar with etiquette and customs, but she still came to cla.s.s with a devout bearing.

However, today was special. She would be reunited with someone dear to her–Mister Shan. Ye Zhen had always been grateful to the person who had not only played the role of a teacher and groomed her, but also a friend, even when she was w.a.n.g Fei Ye.

She had always felt that in her moments of dire need, Mister Shan had never failed to come to her aid. Even in her past life.

Mister Shan’s return to the college drew a lot of attention. Back in the day, he had left a legacy here, needless to say, the students were looking forward to this very day.

Cla.s.s A and Cla.s.s B had cla.s.ses together. Cla.s.s A had a natural sense of superiority in front of Cla.s.s B. Thus, one could find Cla.s.s B already sitting quietly in a corner, making themselves as obscure as possible.

All except Huang f.u.xiang who was already chattering endlessly to Gao Xueping. Huang f.u.xiang, because of her aunt, had a special standing in the school. Since her aunt was of repute, in the field of medicine at that, no one dared to look down upon her.

Ye Zhen and Sun Wen walked into the cla.s.s together. There was no console table in the cla.s.s, only a small table for each student. They soon found one for themselves and sat cross-legged.

Their arrival soon caught the attention of Gao Xueping and Huang f.u.xiang, they stopped talking and looked at the two who had just walked in, particularly Ye Zhen. Huang f.u.xiang sneered, turned to Gao Xueping and said something, evoking the latter’s smile.

The students were talking amongst themselves, creating a buzzing sound around the room. After a while, with the appearance of Mister Shan the cla.s.s quieted. He ran a light gaze across the whole room, when he got to Ye Zhen however, he did not linger and moved away swiftly.

“I taught all the etiquette and books in the First Grade of this medical school. You can all call me Mister Shan.” He simply introduced himself.

All the students, in concert, stood up, bowed and paid their respects.

Mister Shan acknowledged with a light nod. “Let us begin.”

“Food and clothing are not enough to know honor and disgrace. However, one’s self-restraint and etiquette are inseparable. A woman should be mindful of etiquette, understand it in order to not appear disrespectful to others and commit gaffes in society …”

“Today, let’s talk about the religious etiquette first.”

Thus, he began his lecture.

Turning to Sun Wen, with a faint smile, Ye Zhen talked about Mister Shan. Before, she was of the belief that Mister Shan should be able to evince his value better in college. A pity that such a talented man should only serve as a teacher in the mansion.

“Religious etiquette is one of the five rites of the etiquette art of this country. The ritual activities of offering sacrifices to G.o.ds, people and ghosts, some of which do not require women’s partic.i.p.ation, but as a patriarchal clan, the arrangement and etiquette of the sacrifices must be understood. You should practice the ritual less often, which is probably clear long ago … ” Mister Shan said.

As the lecture progressed, Huang f.u.xiang’s mouth twitched. It was not long before she burst into laughter, interrupting Mister Shan’s words.

“Mister Shan, we have practiced these customs since young. However, some people may not know.” As she spoke, her gaze on Ye Zhen made it clear who she was alluding to.

Mister Shan looked at Huang f.u.xiang coldly. “If everyone knows, what is the significance of this course? It is only because some people do not understand it. If you think you understand it, you can, by all means, leave the cla.s.s.”

Huang f.u.xiang turned white. She did not expect Mister Shan would be this curt, even telling her to not come to the cla.s.s.

She was originally going to embarra.s.s Lu Yaoyao, so that everyone would know that Lu Yaoyao was nothing but an empty face. As it turned out, she could do nothing. Moreover, it was beyond her expectation that this Mister Shan did not answer her, instead, showed her the door.

“Mister Shan, do we have to learn from the most basic? Is that not a waste of time?” Someone came to Huang f.u.xiang’s rescue.

After all, the few had all quietly agreed upon embarra.s.sing Ye Zhen in cla.s.s.

“If you do not want to learn, do not learn.” Mister Shan said simply, “My cla.s.ses will start from the foundation, and you are all welcome to miss them.”

These words immediately blocked those who still wanted to speak. How could they dare offend Mister Shan? In the future, the teacher would be required to evaluate their scores.

Things were different from what Huang f.u.xiang had imagined. She thought that Mister Shan, like Master Qin, would come up with an examination. With that, they would have a way to humiliate Lu Yaoyao. But in the end, their plans came to a naughtt leaving them no chance to deal with Lu Yaoyao.

“Keep going.” Mister Shan could not be bothered with the lot any more.

Huang f.u.xiang turned to look towards Ye Zhen and glared at her angrily.

But who was Ye Zhen? To think that she could not sniff out their intentions beforehand, would be a gross error. These people were thinking of ways to deal with her and she had been aware all along.

This Huang f.u.xiang … What exactly is wrong with her? Is it because I won Tang Zhen’s silver whip?

This is just unbelievable!

After cla.s.s, Ye Zhen originally wanted to catch up with Mister Shan, but when she stepped out of the cla.s.sroom, she did not know where the teacher had walked towards.

Ye Zhen saw Huang f.u.xiang and Gao Xueping go out together, and did not want to collide with that pugnacious pair. She turned and left first. She did not come to the medical center to bicker with these people. In fact, she really did not need to think to deal with them. Truth be told, these people did not matter to her.

Shortly after returning to the academy, Lu Jing came looking for her.

“Fourth Sister?” Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised. She thought Lu Jing was disgusted with her and would not come looking for her.

“Third Sister, are you used to living here?” Lu Jing came in and took a look at Ye Zhen’s room. She was secretly jealous. She had lived in a dorm before, but she would not want to go home every day if she could live in such a place.

Ye Zhen said with a smile, “Living well, still not used to it.”

“In fact, it is also good that Third Sister now lives in the school, so she would not suffer indignities at home.” Lu Jing took a jab at her.

Why did she mention the family suddenly?

With her head lowered, eyes downcast Ye Zhen was sipping her tea, trying to guess Lu Jing’s reason for visit.

Had something happened at the mansion that concerned her?

Lu Jing had been waiting for Ye Zhen to raise the question, but even after waiting for a long time, she did not hear her speak. She was not angry. She came here today just to see Ye Zhen’s reaction once she knew what was going on at home. She was certainly not here for tea.

“Third Sister, how many days until you go home?” Lu Jing asked.

Ye Zhen didn’t feel the need to ask Lu Jing of her intention. The woman had come to her in the first place, so she would certainly tell her what had happened at home.

“Ah, Eldest Brother’s Mother has suddenly recovered and expressed the desire to take charge of the family again …” Lu Jing glanced at Ye Zhen. “I heard that she had gone to ask Third aunt about you.”

What could Lu Lingzhi’s mother ask Pei s.h.i.+?

Ye Zhen’s heart suddenly sank.

Could this be about marriage?!
