To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Chen Ling Shuang clenched the book in her hand, a hint of soreness appearing in her eyes.

No one knew that she had also written to Jiang Jinhuan, not just one, but several, but Jiang Jinhuan never replied to her.

She didn't even say anything. When she met him on the street, she wanted to say hello, but he just nodded and hurriedly walked away.

He seemed very busy then, so busy that he didn't even have time to greet her.

What he didn't know was that those encounters were not accidental at all; he had deliberately waited there!

"Perhaps he has his own choices." Her voice was low, as if she were talking to herself.

But the disappointment in his eyes was undeniable.

At this moment, Wang Lin suddenly asked, "Ling Shuang, how are things going between you and Zhang Nan?"

Meiqi asked, "Zhang Nan? If I remember correctly, Zhang Nan and Jiang Jinhuan were in the same dorm, right?"

"That's him! I did see Zhang Nan and Jiang Jinhuan getting along very closely!" Zhou Qian nodded.

"It's nothing, just ordinary friends!" Chen Ling Shuang said casually.

Wang Lin sensed that she didn't want to continue the topic, and quickly smoothed things over: "Oh well, it's all in the past anyway. Ling Shuang is so beautiful, does she lack suitors?"

"That's right, that's right," Zhou Qian quickly nodded in agreement. "I saw that senior from the Mechanical Engineering department waiting for you downstairs the other day; the flowers he brought almost blocked the entrance to your dorm."

Chen Ling Shuang forced a smile but didn't reply.

At this point, Zhou Qian said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. To celebrate our reunion, let's go out for dinner and then go sing karaoke!"

Several girls walked out of the dormitory.

With Chen Ling Shuang around, she has attracted the attention of countless people along the way.

Not long after I left the dormitory, a figure came running from a distance.

"Ling Shuang, you're back? Why didn't you call me?"

The person who arrived was Zhang Nan, whom they had just mentioned.

Chen Ling Shuang replied expressionlessly, "Oh, I just arrived too, I haven't had a chance yet!"

Zhou Qian then asked, "Zhang Nan, you and Jiang Jinhuan are in the same dorm, right? Has Jiang Jinhuan returned?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan's face showed a slight awkwardness, but she quickly smiled and said, "No, I haven't seen him. He probably won't be back for a few more days."

Zhou Qian said with some regret, "That's such a pity! I was hoping to get to know this multi-millionaire!"

Zhang Nan forced a smile and said, "I've heard some things too. I can only say that Jin Huan is really lucky to have won the favor of the Song family's president."

Meiqi frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Joy? Is that word used here? Are you saying that Jiang only got her position by attaching herself to that person in the Song family?"

Zhang Nan said awkwardly, "Actually, I didn't want to talk about this. According to the information I received, Jin Huan did use some underhanded methods to become the president's assistant. I didn't expect Jin Huan to be this kind of person, stepping on the achievements of his seniors to climb up the ladder."

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Nan said, "This isn't exactly a secret. I heard that at Xingyao Group, Jiang Jinhuan took credit for the work of some senior employees in their department, which is why he was promoted to assistant. He was even reported, and I heard the matter caused quite a stir. I can't say more about the specifics!"

The girls fell silent, unsure whether to believe Zhang Nan.

At this moment, Meiqi said, "We can't speculate about this, much less rely on hearsay. Jiang Jinhuan has received scholarships three times; would he need to claim credit for someone else's work?"

Zhang Nan's smile was somewhat forced upon hearing this, and she said again, "That's why I say you can know a person's face but not their heart!"

Wang Lin said, "Zhang Nan, aren't you Jin Huan's friend? Why aren't you speaking up for him?"

Zhang Nan immediately said, "I think I should stand on the side of justice. I've always been an upright person and can't stand these things. Of course, I'm willing to believe Jin Huan, but..."

Chen Ling Shuang suddenly spoke up: "Alright, I don't believe Jin Huan is that kind of person!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan lowered his head and remained silent, but no one noticed the cold glint in his eyes.

Zhou Qian said, "Alright, that's enough for now. We're going to eat. Zhang Nan, do you want to come?"

Zhang Nan quickly replied, "Of course, it's my treat this time. Just tell me what you'd like to eat."

Zhang Nan patted his chest.

Then he looked at Chen Ling Shuang: "Ling Shuang, I know a new restaurant that recently opened nearby. The food is pretty good, and they have private rooms. It's very quiet. I've already booked a private room. Let's go there to eat!"

Zhou Qian said, "Oh, everything's ready. Looks like we're benefiting from Ling Shuang's help this time."

Zhang Nan smiled, but did not refute.

Chen Ling Shuang said, "No need, I think the roadside barbecue stalls nearby are pretty good, I want to eat barbecue."

Before Zhang Nan could react, Chen Ling Shuang took the lead and walked forward.

Zhou Qian, Wang Lin, and Mei Qi quickly followed.

Zhang Nan gritted her teeth and followed.

The group of people walked out of the gate of Jiangcheng University.

By this time, there were already many students on the roadside, some in pairs and others in large groups, creating a lively scene.

Everyone has just finished celebrating the Spring Festival, and it's inevitable that we'll all get together when we return to school.

So the restaurants around the school must be very busy these days.

It was already evening, and the streetlights came on.

Chen Ling Shuang walked towards a barbecue stall that looked pretty good.

Suddenly she stopped and looked in one direction.

There, Jiang Jinhuan was having barbecue with his two roommates.

His profile was exceptionally clear under the streetlights.

He is back.

He went back to school.

Chen Ling Shuang stared at Jiang Jin Huan's profile for a long time.

Zhou Qian, who was following behind, also looked at Chen Ling Shuang with curiosity.

Then, following the other person's gaze, I saw Jiang Jinhuan.

Zhou Qian exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang Jinhuan? Zhang Nan, didn't you say Jiang Jinhuan hadn't returned?"

Zhang Nan's face turned somewhat pale, and she gave an awkward laugh, saying, "Oh, maybe I wasn't in the dorm when he came back, so I didn't see him!"

Meiqi, on the other hand, looked at Zhang Nan with a thoughtful expression.

Zhang Nan then said, "They seem to be enjoying their meal, so why don't we leave them alone?"

Zhou Qian said, "How can that be? He's a big celebrity at our school. How can I go and try to get on his good side? I might even want to hang out with him in the future!"

Wang Lin also said, "Putting aside whether he's a good person or not, we're also curious about how he managed to become a multi-millionaire in just six months."

Meanwhile, Chen Ling Shuang had already walked towards Jiang Jin Huan's direction.

Just then, a boy next to Jiang Jinhuan happened to see Chen Lingshuang and exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Lingshuang? Jinhuan, you're from the same hometown!"

Jiang Jinhuan turned around and saw Chen Ling Shuang walking towards him.

Jiang Jin Huan greeted her, "Ling Shuang, you're back too!"

Before Chen Ling Shuang could answer, Jiang Jin Huan's other roommate noticed Zhang Nan following behind Chen Ling Shuang and asked in confusion, "Zhang Nan, didn't you say you had important business to attend to and weren't eating with us? Why are you...?"

Suddenly, the man stopped speaking, then looked at Chen Ling Shuang and said, "Oh, Zhang Nan, you're something else! This is what you meant by 'important business'!"

Meiqi then looked at Zhang Nan and suddenly asked, "Zhang Nan, didn't you say you didn't know Jiang Jinhuan was back?"

Sun Hao exclaimed in surprise, "You don't know? How is that possible? Jin Huan invited us out to dinner, but Zhang Nan herself said she couldn't come!"

Sun Hao is one of Jiang Jin Huan Dao's roommates!

The room became somewhat quiet.
