The villa was brightly lit, with elegant crystal lamps illuminating the room, but the atmosphere was cold.
"Three hours and twenty-five minutes, where have you been?" Shen Mei asked with an unhappy look on his face.
Mint looked at his mother with penetrating eyes and replied calmly, "I suddenly remembered a grammatical question and went to the library."
Shen Mei is not that easy to fool, "What kind of problem?"
"About writing..." Mint answered cautiously. Fortunately, she had been preparing for this question along the way, so there was no flaw in her words.
French has a characteristic that no other language has, and that is its writing rules. Important documents such as legal provisions are all written in French internationally. The United Nations has designated English as the first speaking language and French as the first writing language.
Shen Mei was also a translator and knew this truth well, but...
"Even so, is this kind of question worth running away from your birthday party?"
Today is not my birthday!
"Master Qiao and I chatted for a few words outside, and then suddenly mentioned this aspect. The inspiration flashed away. I was afraid that I would forget it, so I hurried to the library." Mint deliberately moved Qiao Lijie out, and he was very sure that his mother It is impossible to go to Qiao Lijie to investigate this matter. Even if he did, what would he dare to say based on Qiao Lijie's behavior tonight?
As expected, Shen Mei's expression softened a bit, and he stopped pursuing it, "Diligence is a good thing, but you have to consider the occasion. Don't do this again next time."
"yes."
Shen Mei turned to ask another question, "I introduced so many boys to you tonight, do you feel good about any of them?"
"Mom, I'm still young."
Shen Mei shook her head in disapproval, "You are still young now, but after you graduate from Gaofan Academy, you will go to Paris to study for at least four to five years, and at most for six or seven years. When you come back, you will not be young. , Your father and I will never allow you to find a foreigner, so you'd better stabilize your emotional affairs before going abroad. This will be of great benefit to you in the future."
Advantages and disadvantages?
Is this talking about politics?
Mint sneered in his heart. His mother was indeed the first female mayor in the history of Xihai City. She could also make a timeline and relationship chart of her daughter's feelings.
Does it mean that in her eyes, those rich kids are the best choice? For example, that Qiao Lijie?
"I know, I will pay more attention." Although she was reluctant, she still chose to say this because she knew that there would be no benefit in disobeying her mother in person.
"It's good to know, but you can't delay your studies because of this, huh?"
Mint couldn't help but sneer in her heart. One moment she was asking her to talk about relationships quickly, and the next moment she was asking her not to let her emotions affect her studies. Isn't this contradictory?
"Yeah." She nodded obediently, then glanced at the empty room, "Dad hasn't come back yet?"
"No, I met some old acquaintances at the banquet who have made great achievements, and I want to chat more." When Shen Mei said this, her expression was still dignified, but her eyes inevitably showed fatigue.
Mint couldn't help but wonder, if she followed the plan her parents arranged for her, a few years later, would she be like her mother, living in a luxurious villa but staying alone in a single room?
Fortunately, she met Guan Shouheng, and he opened up a different world for her.
Suddenly a warmth filled my heart.
"It's getting late. You go upstairs. Girls should go to bed early. Remember to take care of yourself." Shen Mei warned.
"You should also go to bed early." She turned around and went upstairs, and Xiaobai followed happily.
Tonight, they are all happy.
Standing in front of the window on the second floor of the villa, she saw the slender figure under the tree in the distance.
