In the capital, there were only a few top families, but quite a few families below the second tier. The Su family belonged to the second tier, as did the Shen family. However, second-tier families also had varying strengths; the Shen family was considerably stronger than the Su family, which was why the Su family was considering a marriage alliance with them.
In the Shen family mansion.
Su Meichao, as the head of the Su family, had personally come over. Even though the Shen family wasn't particularly pleased with his visit, they still had to entertain him.
"Heh, what are you doing here?" Shen Jingfeng, the head of the Shen family, asked with a frown.
"Alas, where is Shen Yan?" Su Meichao sighed.
"What do you want with me?" A seemingly refined young man emerged. He had fair skin and was exceptionally handsome. Upon learning of the Su family's visitor, he had rushed over immediately. However, seeing that it wasn't Su Mei, he felt a bit disappointed.
"Our Su family has wronged you." Su Meichao's face was full of apology.
"Why do you say that?" Shen Yan didn't quite understand.
"This is how it is. Su Mei broke off the engagement back then. I know you don't blame her, but now she's gone to Qingyun City and found the boss of a small company. I'm very angry," Su Meichao said indignantly.
"What?!" Shen Yan suddenly stood up, his face darkening. "You're saying Mei Mei has found another man?"
"Yes, Young Master Shen, I've come here to apologize for Su Mei's past actions." Su Meichao still looked apologetic.
Shen Yan fell silent, his expression grim.
Shen Jingfeng frowned, glancing at Su Meichao and then at his son, appearing helpless.
Su Meichao didn't stay long at the Shen family's residence. His objective was to deliver this news, so after stating it, he quickly departed.
"Yan'er, that Su Meichao is not a good person. He's just trying to use a borrowed knife to kill!" Shen Jingfeng snorted coldly.
"Dad, I know!" Shen Yan said with a dark expression. "But Mei Mei is the woman I've chosen. I won't allow anyone else to touch her. I'm going to Qingyun City!"
"I will let Mei Mei know that only I, Shen Yan, am worthy of her!"
...
"Where are you?"
As soon as Li Se left the hotel, he received a call from Yu Yan. The young woman's tone on the phone was quite aggrieved, like a little wife who had been wronged.
"Where are you? I'll come directly to find you." Li Se felt a bit awkward. Having too many women was troublesome.
"I'm at school. Just come over," Yu Yan said before hanging up.
Li Se gave a wry smile. He didn't seem to have offended this young woman. Without any hesitation, he immediately drove over. Upon arriving at the school gate, he called Yu Yan.
"Come to the girls' dormitory to pick me up," Yu Yan said.
"Yan Yan, it's broad daylight. It's hard for me to get in," Li Se said speechlessly. At night, it was fine; he could use his skills to enter the girls' dormitory. But in broad daylight, with so many people watching, no matter how skilled he was, he couldn't get in.
"I don't care. You must come in and pick me up. I'll give you ten minutes!" Yu Yan was adamant and hung up immediately after speaking.
Li Se's face was filled with a wry smile, and he had no choice but to head towards the girls' dormitory. But as he reached the entrance, he saw a man being driven away by the dormitory matron.
"You brat, still trying to sneak into the girls' dormitory? As long as I'm here, you won't even get half a foot in!" the matron cursed.
The man was quite dejected, but as he was about to leave, he saw Li Se walking towards the girls' dormitory. He shook his head, "Brother, you can't get in. This matron is very capable. Sneaking into the girls' dormitory under her nose is basically impossible."
"That's not necessarily true," Li Se said with a smile.
"Oh? Do you have some special trick?" the man asked curiously.
Li Se approached the matron. As soon as the matron saw another man trying to enter, she cursed, "Trying to get into the girls' dormitory again? Scram, scram, scram. Don't even think about it. You're not studying properly and are always thinking about those things."
"Excuse me, have you been feeling stomach pain frequently lately?" Li Se asked.
"How did you know?" the matron asked, surprised.
"I'm a doctor," Li Se said with a smile. "You've had this stomach pain for quite some time. If you believe me, I can give you a prescription, and I guarantee the pain will disappear immediately after taking it."
The matron was initially excited but then felt something was amiss and became wary. "You're not trying to sneak into the girls' dormitory, are you?"
"That's right. My girlfriend is ill, and I need to treat her. I have no ulterior motives; I'm a doctor," Li Se said earnestly.
"Scram, scram, scram. I don't believe you!" the matron waved her hand, signaling Li Se to leave.
"I really am a doctor," Li Se said very seriously. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Young man, don't try to fool me. So many people have tried to fool me over the years and sneak into the girls' dormitory. Your trick has been used countless times," the matron said with a hint of disdain. This was the result of her rich experience.
"Ah, someone has fainted! Is there a doctor here?" At this moment, a female student exclaimed.
A girl had fainted inside the girls' dormitory, and her friends were all anxiously looking on.
"Matron, let me go and take a look. I'm really a doctor!" Li Se said quickly.
"You're trying to trick me?" the matron frowned.
"If you don't believe me, you can follow. Could I possibly sneak into the girls' dormitory under your nose?" Li Se spread his hands.
"Alright." The matron had no choice but to take Li Se into the girls' dormitory.
The guy who had just been driven away gave a thumbs-up. Impressive. In this day and age, one needed skills to sneak into the girls' dormitory; mere words were not enough.
Li Se immediately performed acupuncture on the fainting girl, and she quickly woke up.
"Thank you," the girl said gratefully.
"You're welcome," Li Se smiled.
"Young man, are you really a doctor?" the matron asked, surprised.
"Of course!" Li Se replied.
The matron chuckled, "Then what about that prescription you mentioned..."
Li Se immediately asked someone to get him paper and a pen, then wrote a prescription and handed it to the matron. "One dose will cure you completely."
"Okay!" the matron nodded repeatedly.
Having gained the matron's trust, Li Se swaggered into the girls' dormitory. The scenery along the way was dazzling, with some girls even wearing only their underwear, truly a paradise for men.
Soon, Li Se arrived at Yu Yan's room.
"How did you get in?" Yu Yan asked, surprised. "Did you climb over the wall?"
"The matron let me in," Li Se said triumphantly.
"Awesome!" Yu Yan gave him a thumbs-up.
Lin Wenxiu, who was beside her, also gave a thumbs-up. Li Se was probably the first male allowed in by the matron.
"Yan Yan, let's go. Aren't you going out?" Li Se asked.
"Yes, yes, yes. There's an event today, and I got tickets. You have to accompany me. My idol, Jiang Manni, will also be participating!" Yu Yan said excitedly.
"Chasing stars?" Li Se was taken aback. He had encountered quite a few celebrities recently, and frankly, he didn't have a good impression of any of them. They were all arrogant and had terrible tempers, even worse than anyone else. He guessed this Jiang Manni's temper wouldn't be much better.
"What's wrong with chasing stars? You have to accompany me!" Yu Yan snorted. "How long has it been since you last visited me? I knew it, once you have other women, you just leave me on the sidelines."
Li Se said helplessly, "Of course, I'll go with you."
Yu Yan beamed, "That's more like it!"
