Initially, she thought her long-lost grandson would feel displeased about it. However, based on the words he said and his calm expression, it seemed that he had never cared about all these things. It indeed made her feel kind of sad!
"Tell Grandmother, how much you suffered all these years?"
Jeffrey shook his head and answered with a faint smile, "Not at all. I was very fortunate to meet my master back then. He is very knowledgeable. He even brought me along with him on his journey exploring the world. I have learned a lot from him."
What Jeffrey said seemed simple, but Julianne could not help but sigh as her eyes welled up. "I really have to thank him personally in the future for taking great care of you for so many years!"
Jeffrey nodded silently. Soon, both of them looked at each other without having anything further to say.
"I have already asked Forrest to send the welcome banquet invitation out. Therefore, do not leave this week."Julianne halted for a moment and continued. She then added,
"This is an opportunity for you to choose your fiancée too!"
Jeffrey trembled. He thought he heard it wrongly. Fiancée? Seriously? Wasn't it too soon to talk about this?
"Grandmother, I am not in a hurry."
Jeffrey intended to stop her, but she just waved her hands tiredly and did not give him a chance to reject her.
"Well, it is settled then. It's getting late. Go back to your room and get some rest then!"
Jeffrey could only bid his grandmother goodnight helplessly.
...
The next morning, Jeffrey Fu followed Pamela Fu to St. Yu Academy to go through the admission procedures.
The principal held Jeffrey's information and said with an embarrassed face, "Mrs. Fu, you know the rules of our school. We have never accepted any senior-year student before. This will attract the opinions of other students and lower the school's graduation rate."
Jeffrey, a student who came out of the village, did not receive any good education and acted like a spoiled son. If he was accepted, the school would be turned upside down.
Pamela's face instantly darkened."Principal, what do you mean? Are you looking down on our Fu family?"
"In that case, our Fu family has to reconsider how many experimental buildings we should donate to the school."
"Don't!"
"I'll arrange for your son to enter the school!"
After hearing that, the principal immediately changed his attitude, nodded, bowed, and led Jeffrey Fu to the classroom.
Although he did not know what kind of person Jeffrey Fu was, looking at Pamela's attitude, he could not afford to offend him. He guessed that he was the child of a relative in the Fu family; therefore, he decided to arrange for him to be in the same class as Quintin Fu.
Class A, Senior high.
Because the midterms had just ended and winter vacation was to start, the students were immersed in the happy vacation scheme, and the whole classroom was noisy.
"Let me tell you a secret. We are going to have a new classmate!"
A student ran into the classroom from the outside and announced the news on the podium.
The classroom suddenly quieted down.
"No way! We're already in our third year. Are you lying?"
"That's right, unless he's here to take a graduation photo or something."
"It's true. I went to the office to look for the head teacher and heard what the principal said to him, and that person was from the countryside."
As soon as these words came out, the classroom burst into an uproar.
"From the countryside? Gosh, I don't want to study with a countryside boy!"
"Me too. I heard that people from the countryside are very sloppy."
Quintin walked into the classroom. When he heard the discussion, he was very proud. He could not wait to see Jeffrey's embarrassed face.
Although it would make the Fu family lose some face, Jeffrey had not yet claimed that he was the son of the Fu family. In this way, his identity would not be exposed, and he would be a legitimate eldest son!
.
Outside the door, the class teacher, Miss Xiao, appeared in the corridor with Jeffrey Fu.
A sharp-eyed student noticed them and quickly shouted, "He's here! It's real!"
All the students gathered around the window and leaned out to see how barbaric the legendary countryside people were.
However, the tall and slender figure next to Miss Xiao stunned everyone. No matter how they looked at him, he did not look like some country bumpkin, as he was extremely handsome.
Miss Xiao led Jeffrey into the classroom and stood at the podium, solemnly announcing to everyone, "Everyone, please be quiet. This is your new classmate. I hope that we can help each other more often."
Then she turned her face and smiled at Jeffrey. "Go ahead and introduce yourself."
Jeffrey nodded slightly. "My name is Jeffrey Fu."
The brief introduction made the whole classroom fall into silence.
Miss Xiao waited for a long time but did not hear any follow-up. She asked tentatively, "Is that all?"
Jeffrey nodded, and the students burst into laughter. Miss Xiao felt very awkward; therefore, she had to say, "All right then, you can choose an empty seat for yourself."
The seats in the class were all arranged according to the results of the semester. The top 20 students get to choose their seat, and the rest were arranged by the teacher.
After briefly exchanging a few sentences, Miss Xiao changed to a self-study class because she had something to do.
As soon as she left the classroom, the discussion in the classroom rose again.
"I did not expect the countryside boy to be so handsome. I was almost moved!"
"That's right, I feel that the school beauty list will be changed this year."
Jeffrey pretended that he did not hear anything and just looked at the scenery outside the window.
A note suddenly appeared in front of him. He opened it and read, "Hello, my new desk mate. My name is Celeste."
He turned to look at the girl who handed over the note, smiled slightly, and wrote "Hello"on the paper.
The girl was very happy. She wrote a few more words. "Nice to meet you."
