Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 510

Professor Jiang listened to these words and held Xinyan in higher regard, feeling that this Miss had a commendable character and wasn’t aiming too high.

With Professor Jiang’s approval and assistance, Xinyan’s decision to minor in French was set. After filling out the application form, Professor Jiang took over, and Xinyan only had to wait for the results.

After morning classes ended, a few female classmates from the class went together to the medical room to visit Bai Aiwen.

When they arrived at the medical room, Bai Aiwen was already awake, but her mood was still not good.

Cui Haili, considered the elder sister in the class, saw her like this and recalled the comments from Zhang Zhaodi and Qiao Shanmei earlier: "Aiwen, did something happen?"

When Bai Aiwen heard Cui Haili’s question, her eyes quickly filled with tears. Her lips trembled as if she wanted to speak, but she couldn’t utter a single word.

Cui Haili gently patted her hand: "If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to. But you should know that since we all became classmates and share the same dormitory, that’s a great bond destined by fate.

If you trust us, tell us what’s going on. We can try to help you come up with some ideas; don’t keep it bottled up inside."

School Doctor Chang mentioned that her fever was caused by pent-up emotions and depression. Fortunately, it was discovered in time; otherwise, the consequences could have been serious.

Bai Aiwen started crying out loud: "They’re really too much."

Cui Haili gently patted her hand, trying to calm her down.

School Doctor Chang came over and said, "Letting her cry might be good. Keeping it in is hard on the body."

After quite a while, Bai Aiwen finally calmed down.

She had indeed received a letter from home.

Her family consists of four siblings, and she is the youngest, with two older brothers and one older sister.

Among the four siblings, she’s the only one who attended high school. Her two brothers only finished elementary school, and her sister didn’t even complete middle school. It’s not that the family didn’t support them; they just weren’t cut out for studying. Hence, she became the pride of her parents and siblings, and everyone at home was very supportive of her.

Originally, Bai Aiwen was already engaged at home to someone named Xie Shanyuan, who was her high school classmate. The two were considered to be in one of those fashionable free-love relationships.

But just when they were preparing to get married, the national college entrance examination system was reinstated. Both of them wanted to change their fate by taking the exam.

However, in the first year of the entrance exam, she got into an accident on her way to the exam center, fell off an ox cart, got injured, and couldn’t attend the exam.

Her fiancé, Xie Shanyuan, did fairly well and, while he didn’t get into college, he was admitted to a decent vocational school.

After discussions between the two families, the wedding was temporarily postponed to give Bai Aiwen another chance to study hard at home and take the exam the following year.

No one expected Bai Aiwen to do so well and actually get into Jing University.

This was supposed to be great news, and both families were happy and said they would hold the wedding banquet when they returned for the New Year. But then things went wrong.

Recently, the Xie family parents came to the door to break off the engagement, apologizing to her, but they had their reasons. They said they couldn’t ruin their son’s bright future.

Her family was quite upset, feeling that the Xie family was blind, as their own girl had gotten into the best university in the country, and her future after graduation would far surpass the Xie’s son. However, since the Xie family insisted on breaking off the engagement, they couldn’t stop them.

In a fit of anger, Bai Aiwen’s father declared that from then on, the Bai and Xie Families would have nothing to do with each other and would never interact.

Initially, her family didn’t plan to tell Bai Aiwen about it. However, the village chief’s daughter, Zhong Xiuyu, who also fancied Xie Shanyuan, loathed Bai Aiwen. Since hearing about the Xie family breaking off the engagement, she hadn’t missed a chance to talk behind her back.

Zhong Xiuyu happened to have a cousin who did well and worked in Beijing. A while back, he sent a letter saying that his only son was getting married at the end of October and invited the family to attend the wedding and visit the Capital.

Though the home folks were thrifty about travel expenses, many relatives were tempted by the chance to see the Capital.

Zhong’s family also wanted their daughter to gain some experience, so naturally, they intended to take her along.

Zhong Xiuyu, for whatever reason, even took a trip to Bai Family Village, showing off for half a day at the Bai family, saying she would take time to visit Bai Aiwen at Jing University.

Her family was worried that Zhong Xiuyu would actually look for her at Jing University, so they wrote a letter in advance to tell her what was going on.
