Su Mingxian turned her gaze and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt Wu?"
After saying that, she quickly bypassed Shen Chi and rushed over, taking the other woman's hand. "You and Professor Zheng are here for a meal too? What a coincidence!"
It is often said that after a long drought, one finds sweet dew; encountering an old friend in a foreign land brings joy. Su Mingxian had no acquaintances in Shanghai, so seeing Aunt Wu, who had come along with her to the city, naturally filled her with delight.
Wu Xiumei, seeing this, also happily took her hand and looked her up and down. "It really is you! If that girl hadn't called out to you, I might not have recognized you at all. You've only been in Shanghai for such a short time, but you've changed so much."
With that, she smiled broadly and added, "But you're looking better and better!"
"Aunt Wu, you flatter me." Su Mingxian's face flushed with embarrassment, especially since she had just been caught in a scuffle.
Wu Xiumei chuckled and patted her hand before turning to Director Mu. "Was that student from your school just now?"
Director Mu nodded awkwardly and then addressed Su Mingxian. "Are you alright? Don't worry; the school will handle this matter seriously when you return."
Before Su Mingxian could respond, Wu Xiumei jumped in defensively. "It should be dealt with properly! That girl has been rude to everyone since the train. With such poor character, how can your school still accept students like her?"
Instead of getting angry at being reprimanded, Director Mu kept smiling apologetically. Su Mingxian noticed this and tugged at Wu Xiumei's sleeve softly. "Aunt Wu—"
Wu Xiumei then slapped her forehead and hurriedly said, "I forgot to introduce you! This is the girl I mentioned earlier named Su Mingxian. I can't believe we ran into each other here; what a twist of fate!"
Upon hearing this, Director Mu was immediately surprised. "The girl you were talking about is her?"
“Of course, I wouldn’t lie to you,” she said, pulling Su Mingxian over with a smile. “Sit down, this is Director Mu from the school’s academic office, and this is her wife.”
“Director Mu, Mrs. Mu, Professor Zheng, nice to meet you.”
Professor Zheng remained as silent as ever, merely nodding slightly, while the other two scrutinized her. Anyone praised by Professor Zheng and his wife was certainly not an ordinary person.
Throughout the encounter, Su Mingxian maintained her composure, her demeanor natural and her smile warm.
Once Wu Xiumei finished the introductions, she turned to Su Mingxian and asked, “Xiao Su, everything okay earlier?”
“It was fine. She just spoke a bit harshly; it didn’t hurt me,” Su Mingxian replied. Just then, Wu Xiumei sighed in relief. “That’s good. By the way, how have you been? Why haven’t you contacted me? You promised to come over for a visit!”
“Aunt Wu, I’m really sorry. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to get away,” Su Mingxian said sincerely. As soon as she finished speaking, the two people across from her were stunned. Was there really someone who dared to stand up the Professor Zheng couple?
This girl truly was impressive.
“What have you been busy with?” Wu Xiumei asked curiously before teasingly adding, “Come on, tell me what big business you’ve been up to.”
“Aunt Wu, don’t make fun of me. What I’m doing is just small-scale stuff; it’s nothing big,” Su Mingxian laughed and continued, “I set up a stall selling Liangpi by the train station. After making some money, I opened a Food Processing Plant that specializes in producing Liangpi to supply some franchisees.”
Before Wu Xiumei could respond, Mrs. Mu exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t it called Su's Cold Noodles? Su Ji Food Factory?”
Su Mingxian was taken aback. "How did you know?"
Mrs. Mu laughed immediately. "How could I not know? Your Food Processing Plant made the news."
Now it was Su Mingxian's turn to be confused. "Made the news?"
