Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Jealous of Even His Own Sister

Shen Nian looked at the jacket draped over her shoulders. It was June. Although it wasn’t scorching hot yet, it wasn’t cold at all.

’Is Lu Cheng worried I’ll catch a cold? But isn’t this a bit of an overreaction!’

Shen Nian wanted to take the jacket off, but when she saw Lu Cheng’s insistent gaze, she sighed inwardly.

’Oh well, I’ll just leave it on. Luckily, the jacket is pretty thin, and since we’re indoors, it’s not actually hot.’

Although they already knew Shen Nian was fine, Father Lu and Mrs. Lu still let out a sigh of relief when they saw her come out.

"Come, come sit down, Xiao Nian. Mom just made some chicken soup. Drink some while it’s hot to warm you up."

"Thank you, Mom. You went to so much trouble."

"Trouble? What trouble? Xinyue just told us about you being the provincial top scorer. Xiao Nian, you’re incredible!"

Sun Yufeng was truly happy. Before, when Lu Cheng had insisted on marrying Shen Nian, she thought he was just being stubborn. Now, it seemed her son had excellent judgment!

He had gone and married a top scorer—and a provincial one at that! Once this news got out, everyone for miles around would be green with envy of the Lu Family!

Shen Nian was quite pleased to hear her mother-in-law’s praise. After all, being praised by your in-laws was always better than being disliked by them.

"Actually, I was a bit surprised myself that I scored so well."

"That’s because you already have a strong academic foundation, which allowed you to perform so well! If our Xinyue could be half as good as you when her time comes, the Lu Family would have to burn some serious incense to thank the heavens!"

"Mom, how can you talk about your own daughter like that! Besides, my grades aren’t that bad!"

"Oh, really? And are you going to become the provincial top scorer?"

"Mom, you think becoming a top scorer is that easy? It’s been years since our county has produced a provincial top scorer like Sister-in-law!"

Lu Xinyue considered her own grades to be pretty good, but compared to Shen Nian, she was still miles behind.

"You should learn a thing or two from your sister-in-law."

"Yes, yes, I know! I’ve been learning from my sister-in-law this whole time, haven’t I? Right, Sister-in-law?"

"Yes, Xinyue is very eager to learn."

Shen Nian agreed verbally, but she knew perfectly well that while Lu Xinyue’s grades were good, her mind wasn’t entirely focused on her studies. There were always other things that could pique Lu Xinyue’s interest more than schoolwork.

However, Shen Nian didn’t think there was anything wrong with that. After all, grades aren’t everything. Interest is the best teacher.

If Lu Xinyue could find her passion and a direction for her future while still keeping her grades up, Shen Nian thought, that would be wonderful too!

"Eager to learn? The way I see it, she’s not applying herself to what’s important!"

"Mom, how is that not what’s important? I’m learning to cook and make clothes from Sister-in-law. It’s not like those are bad things!"

"Alright, alright, I can’t win with you. Just don’t come crying to us when you fail to get into a good university!"

"Don’t you worry, Mom! In three years, I will definitely get into a university in B City. Then I can go to B City and keep Sister-in-law company!"

Hearing Lu Xinyue’s words, Lu Cheng, who was sitting beside Shen Nian, looked up at his sister, his brow furrowed.

Shen Nian saw his reaction clearly. ’This guy... he can’t possibly be jealous of his own sister, can he?!’
