If You Are a Dodder Flower

Part 56

"Then big brother... and Wang Man, is it really completely over for the two of them?" Xia Rou still held on to a little hope.

"They're definitely done now that everyone knows Ah Huo is chasing Wang Man."

"Brother Yaogang?" Xia Rou's eyes widened. "H-He... How could he...!" How could he steal her away from Cao Yang?

"Are you stupid!" Cao An let out a tch, "What does big brother have to do with it? If Ah Huo wants to chase Wang Man, he must have already discussed it with my brother before."

So that's how it was, then... it looked like...

"So it's completely over?" she lowered her eyes.

Cao An answered firmly, "Of course." Translated by The Novelst

Xia Rou could only comfort herself and say she had tried her best, though the matter had spiraled out of control, like wild horses running unbridled...

But there was a limit to her abilities. To be able to persuade Cao An to surrender to Cao Xiong was already a windfall. As for the other things, she really couldn't do anything else.

Of course, no one in the Cao Family had expected her to wield any influence in this matter. In their eyes, as long as she could study well, stay peaceful and healthy, it was already sufficient.

Soon enough, her university acceptance arrived.

Xia Rou had been admitted to Sheng Da University.

If this was in the past, this would be something she didn't dare even dream of. To the past Xia Rou, this school was where only smart people could enter. Students like her who were not good at studying could only stare in envy.

She never imagined that in this life, even she could enter Sheng Da. And this... troubled her greatly.

"What's wrong? You've been accepted. You're not happy about it?" asked Cao Yang at the dining table.

Cao Xiong and Cao An also looked to her.

Xia Rou looked bitterly at Cao Yang. People like him who had always been smart and could be at the top without trying; how could someone like him understand her concerns?!

"What's the matter?" Cao Yang didn't give up, wanting to make it clear.

Xia Rou couldn't fight back and could only speak out, embarrassed, "I'm just afraid... that I'll go and realize that I'm the only one to not be able to study well in that group of smarties..." That would really be hell for the next four years!

Pu! Cao An spilled his tea.

Cao Yang couldn't control his face.

"You just have to study well and not fail. As long as you can graduate that's enough," laughed Cao Xiong.

He didn't really have expectations of Xia Rou. As long as she could graduate, it was fine. As a girl, it was enough to find her a good husband in the future and marry her off.

Even if he was no longer around in the future, she had already developed an affectionate relationship with his sons. They wouldn't leave her.

That way, he had fulfilled Cheng Wan's wish.

While Xia Rou continued to worry, her university life began.

Her first day, both Cao Yang and Cao An ushered her to school. Their expressions were very solemn, so much so that Xia Rou thought something was wrong. But later she realized that they were actually just nervous!

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm going to be the one in the dorms, not you guys. Why are you so nervous?"

Cao Yang glanced at her through the rearview mirror, snorting softly.
