In the box lay a business card, some cash and an envelope which her grandmother had given her before she passed away. Thinking of her grandmother who she couldn't meet even in this life, Wendy felt her nose ache as she tried not to cry.
She counted the money and discovered that she had only had 890 Yuan in savings. After calculating, she downloaded a stock trading app in her phone and decided to create a bank account for future convenience.
She remembered her mother's account details from her previous life and quickly invested half of the 1,000 Yuan in her mother's account in the most promising stocks. She knew that with her investment, the returns would be tenfold.
When it was time for dinner, Wendy walked out to see her mother carrying a pot of dumplings to the dining table. She hurriedly went to set the table and as they sat to eat, told her mother about her investment.
"Since when did you learn stock trading?"
After hesitating for a brief moment, Wendy decided to lie to her mother. Well, it was really a lie because her previous life was like a dream. She told her mother about how her father wanted her back in order to contract a business marriage for her and how she dreamt that the stocks she invested in would soar.
Although skeptical, Yun Meifeng chose to listen to her daughter like she always did. They quickly finished their dinner and Wendy cleaned up after sending her mother away. She waited until it was close to midnight and she was sure that her mother was asleep before she locked her room door and began to stretch, exercise and practice her martial arts.
She only ended when it was close to two in the morning. Checking her health stats, she realised that it had increased by 8 points. She took a quick shower and went to bed.
By six thirty, she was up and ready for school in uniform. She wore her daisy white shirt with her royal blue skirt which was just above her knees and held her hair in a ponytail.
She had a glass of milk and a piece of chocolate and walked to the bus station to get a bus to her school. As a final year student of Hefei No. 1 high school, Wendy only went to school three out of the five times she would've gone as a normal student.
The third year classrooms were filled with tension and anticipation as everyone studied for the College Entrance Exams that was only two months away.
After getting seated, it was not long before the seat beside her was occupied by Shen Rou. She placed her Maths books beside Wendy and opened them but seemed not to understand what she was reading.
After a few minutes, Wendy looked at Shen Rou and then offered to teach her the Maths. She remembered that by this time in her previous life, she had already left her mother and gone with her father who transferred her to an elite school in order to 'build her reputation'. As an intelligent student, she would've passed the College exams with flying colors had it not been for her father, Xie Chuan, who did not even let her write her College Entrance Exams but rather started to take her with him to his business gatherings.
At the time, she thought that he just did not want her to suffer and that he wanted what was best for her. It was only when she died that she realized how foolish she was. She resolved never to repeat the same mistakes. This time, she was determined to write the College Entrance Exams and she was going to make sure that she passed well and got into her dream school.
By the time the bell rang for the end of the lesson, Shen Rou had been able to grasp three topics in Maths.
"Wendy, I really admire you a lot. Apart from being a top student, you are also a great teacher"
"Can you come over to my place after school to help me?"
"Sure, but I will only be able to come on Wednesdays and Fridays"
They walked out to the canteen together but Shen Rou happened to bump into someone.
