She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 876: Chapter 917: Love Me, Love My Dog

”An’an, you’re here too!” An’an, who had been hiding behind Sheng Ning all along, went unnoticed by the old man until they reached the living room. As soon as he saw An’an, he warmly invited her, ”Come over, sit here with grandpa.”

After speaking, he realized that the person sitting next to him was Mr. Hai. The two of them often visited each other’s homes and were used to sitting like this. If An’an sat beside him, Old Hai would have to give up his seat.

”Move over, move over!” Mr. Su directly ordered him, ”Sit over there, give up the seat for my granddaughter. Go sit on the cooler side.”

Mr. Hai didn’t mind and wobbled over to the side with his hands behind his back.

”Old man, let me help you.” Su Hai knew his dad was acting up again and quietly explained, ”Old man, my dad’s acting up again, don’t take it to heart.”

”It’s alright, it’s alright.” Mr. Hai didn’t mind at all. He noticed that Ningning’s younger sister seemed very timid and indeed needed Mr. Su to give her courage.

As the saying goes, if you love someone, you must love those dear to them as well. Since Old Su cherished Ningning so much, he naturally treated her sister differently from others.

An’an watched as her sister’s grandpa drove away an elderly man, feeling uneasy internally as she considered herself not very worthy.

”I’m sorry grandpa, you should sit here!”

Mr. Hai was momentarily taken aback, then waved his hand, ”It’s alright, you sit here! We were just joking around, no need to be afraid.”

”But...” An’an quietly glanced at Sheng Ning.

”It’s fine, you sit.” Sheng Ning winked at her, reassuringly.

”Girl, come over quickly, don’t mind that old guy.” Mr. Su wished he could drive the person away and kept signaling to Su Hai. ”Why is an outsider interfering when our family has visitors? Quickly, go home.”

Su Hai pretended not to see.

An’an, realizing she couldn’t refuse, obediently sat next to Mr. Su. When her sister got married, the old man had stayed at their house for a while and they had become familiar back then.

”An’an, I heard you plan to go to college?”

”Yes!” An’an nodded, her deep-set brows showing a hint of worry, ”I’m just afraid my grades aren’t good enough and I won’t get into college. I stopped going to school at the second year in senior high in the countryside.” In rural areas, reaching the second year was already quite an achievement. In their whole village, she had the highest education level; even her sister only reached the first year.

”You’re so smart, I believe you can definitely make it.” Mr. Su, like a child himself, was coaxing an actual child, ”In our city’s universities, you can choose whichever you want. If that doesn’t work, I can grant you a special admission, just like Yingzi.”

An’an stared wide-eyed with a silly expression, she had never heard of special admissions before, ”Do you mean I can go to college without an exam?”

”Exactly.”

”Sis, you city folks are really something.” An’an said with a face full of admiration.

Sheng Ning shrugged, ”I haven’t been to college either!”

”Ningning, speaking of which, I was just about to talk to you.” Su Hai leaned against the sofa with his hands in his pockets. Initially, he seemed indifferent, but at the mention of college, his eyes lit up.

”What about?”

”Our city has started a higher education training program, and I happened to graduate from one of those schools. I can recommend someone, do you want to participate?”

Sheng Ning understood, though Su Hai spoke lightly about it, it was definitely not a simple matter. Higher education training was no small thing, all the top provincial officials came from such programs. Getting in is like getting a gold plating, way better than any ordinary university.
