Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Shen Jingshu couldn't help but tease, "Making the dignified head of the Lu family my henchman?"

"Why not?" Lu Jingxing's tone was calm, yet brimming with doting affection. "Am I not worthy?"

"It's a good match," Shen Jingshu smiled, her eyes crinkling, "but President Lu is a millionaire, I can't afford to hire him."

Lu Jingxing leaned slightly closer to her, their breaths mingling, his voice low and alluring: "No need to hire anyone. I'm all yours, use me as you please."

Shen Jingshu's heart skipped a beat, and her ears burned slightly. She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you just mentioned Grandpa Lu?"

"Yes," Lu Jingxing responded. "Grandpa has been talking about you. When he left the Mo family tonight, he specifically pulled you aside and told you to take some time to visit the Lu family's old residence."

The image of Grandpa Lu's kind and expectant face instantly flashed into Shen Jingshu's mind, and she couldn't help but soften her heart: "Then let's go on the weekend. I don't have classes on the weekend, so I'll go back with you to see Grandpa."

"Okay." A faint smile appeared in Lu Jingxing's eyes.

Shen Jingshu unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at him: "Then I'm going back to school."

"Hmm," Lu Jingxing responded, then asked, "Summer vacation is coming soon, what are your plans for the summer?"

"I haven't decided yet, I'll think about it later."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Shen Jingshu nodded and reached out to pull the car door handle. Just as her fingertips touched the cold metal, a thought suddenly struck her.

She turned around abruptly and leaned slightly closer to the back seat.

A sweet, youthful scent wafted towards me.

Before Lu Jingxing could react, her soft lips gently brushed against his slightly cool cheek, leaving a light and tender kiss.

Leaving in an instant.

Goodnight, goodbye.

Shen Jingshu's eyes sparkled, like a little rabbit that had just stolen a piece of candy.

After saying that, without waiting for his response, she quickly opened the car door, nimbly jumped out of the car, and stood under the streetlight.

Shen Jingshu walked quickly into the dormitory building and pushed open the door to her room.

The room was brightly lit, and three girls, Xu Zhixia, Song Ran, and Lin Miaomiao, were sitting around the desk, chattering excitedly about their summer vacation plans, their faces full of barely concealed excitement.

For students, holidays are always the most exciting and anticipated time of the year.

Hearing the door open, the three of them turned around and saw Shen Jingshu entering.

Xu Zhixia's eyes lit up, and she immediately waved, "Jing Shu, you're back! Is the Mo family banquet over? We've been thinking about you. Perfect timing! We were just talking about summer plans, come on, tell us where you're planning to go this summer!"

Song Ran nodded in agreement, her eyes full of curiosity: "Did a lot happen at the banquet tonight? Some rumors have already started circulating online."

Lin Miaomiao made room for her next to her and patted the chair: "Sit down and rest for a while. You must be exhausted after running around outside all night."

Shen Jingshu closed the dormitory door behind her, shedding the tightness of her evening dress, a relaxed and gentle smile appearing on her lips, and slowly walked over.

The story about the Mohist school is circulating widely online; is it really true?

Shen Jingshu gently shook her head and sat down in a chair: "The matter is indeed true, but it is ultimately a family matter of the Mo family, so I cannot say too much."

"Understood, understood." Xu Zhixia nodded. She came from a wealthy family and had seen a lot of infighting in high society, but hearing about the Mo sisters' falling out tonight still filled her with sighs.

She was the only child in the Xu family, and from childhood to adulthood, she had always longed for an older brother or sister to accompany her. But then she thought, if she really had siblings, would she end up like the Mo sisters, scheming against each other? Thinking of this, Xu Zhixia couldn't help but shudder.

After a brief silence, Xu Zhixia quickly perked up and said with bright eyes, "Let's not talk about these upsetting things! We were just discussing going on a trip together during the summer vacation. There are four of us in the dorm, and we've never gone on a trip together before."

"I'm fine with anything, it's up to you where you want to go," Shen Jingshu said in a relaxed tone.

Lin Miaomiao stepped forward and pulled up a chair to sit down: "We were just discussing our destination. Song Ran and I come from ordinary families, so we don't want to spend too much. We'd prefer to choose a city with lower costs of living."

Although Shen Jingshu and Xu Zhixia came from wealthy families, they were not spoiled at all and were not picky about material enjoyment. After listening, they immediately nodded to show their understanding.

"We've narrowed it down to two options: the beach or Yunnan. I've heard Yunnan has amazing scenery and is cool even in the summer, perfect for escaping the heat," Lin Miaomiao said. "Which of these two places do you prefer?"

Xu Zhixia was the first to speak up: "I prefer Yunnan. The beach is too hot in the summer, and the sun is too strong. Let's find a guesthouse with a nice view to stay in, and wander around and experience the local customs and culture. Besides, I've heard online that there are many stories there, and we can also go to a quiet bar in the evening."

"A bar?" Song Ran hesitated upon hearing this. She had always been a well-behaved student and had never stepped into a bar before.

Xu Zhixia reached out and affectionately put her arm around Song Ran's shoulder, smiling reassuringly, "Don't be nervous. I'm not talking about those noisy nightclubs, just a quiet bar, just to experience the atmosphere. We're both adults now, it's no big deal to try it out once in a while."

After listening, Shen Jingshu also thought the plan was very good: "Then let's go to Yunnan."

"Great!" Lin Miaomiao's face lit up with joy. "Leave the travel guide and food recommendations to me, and I'll take care of selecting and booking the accommodations."

"Then I'll leave the rest to you two." Song Ran smiled and raised her hand, looking relaxed. "I'll just be a hands-off manager and enjoy eating, drinking, and having fun with everyone."

As she spoke, Shen Jingshu suddenly remembered the matter of expenses.

"By the way, we'll transfer the money to you in advance to cover your travel expenses, so you can book guesthouses and arrange other costs."

Considering that Lin Miaomiao and Song Ran usually have limited pocket money and not wanting them to have financial pressure, Shen Jingshu and Xu Zhixia exchanged a glance and each transferred 10,000 yuan to Lin Miaomiao's WeChat.

When Lin Miaomiao saw the transfer notification pop up on her phone, she was stunned for a moment and quickly waved her hand, refusing to accept it: "No, no, that's too much. The cost of living in Yunnan isn't that high. We can split it evenly. You don't need to give so much."

Xu Zhixia put her phone on the table and said cheerfully, "Take it. Consider this our treat. We all get to go on a trip together, so let's not be stingy about money. The most important thing is to have fun."

Shen Jingshu also gently advised, "Miaomiao, just accept it. All subsequent food, lodging, and travel expenses will be covered by this money; any overpayment will be refunded, and any underpayment will be collected later."

Lin Miaomiao still felt very bad and refused several times. However, she couldn't resist the two people's repeated persuasion and reluctantly accepted the transfer. She secretly made up her mind to be careful with her money and record every expense clearly in the account book, and never spend a penny recklessly.

The atmosphere in the dormitory was lively. The four of them sat around the table, chatting enthusiastically about Yunnan's delicacies: flower cakes, wild mushroom hot pot, and crossing-the-bridge rice noodles. The more they talked, the more excited they became.
