Chapter 2120: The Love of Chuan Rong (1)

Zhuang Shurong said that she and Mu Tangchuan had only met a few times before they confirmed their marriage.

Actually, thinking about it, they had not only met a few times. They had only those few times of close contact before they got married. They had not actually ‘met’ before that.

Both of them were influential people in a university. Zhuang Shurong was an outstanding student in the Law Department of a university at that time. Mu Tangchuan not only had excellent grades, but he was also the top student at that time. His legend was not inferior to Xi Mushan’s at that time.

However, Mu Tangchuan himself was a more elegant and low-key person. Most of his time was spent on his studies and work.

The Mu family’s style was very strict, especially for someone in a high position like Wang Hui. They paid more attention to the education and quality of their own children.

Mu Tangchuan had high expectations set on him since he was young. Even though his father, Mu Yinan, was a businessman and had been extremely promiscuous in the past, since he married Wang Hui, he underwent a complete change and was now obedient to his wife.

The society of that era was not like the current one. Communications was not yet developed, and people’s attitudes were more conservative.

Mobile phones were not widely used. The way young people communicated with each other was mostly by writing love letters and passing notes.

Zhuang Shurong was quite famous in a university at that time. She was the only precious granddaughter of the head of the military, Chief Zhuang. Her father was the President of a large company. Her mother was also the Minister of Education in the province. Her grandmother was a university professor. She could be considered to be from a scholarly family, with such a powerful family background, her beautiful appearance, elegant temperament, and excellent grades, there were countless people going after her.

However, Zhuang Shurong was also someone who was passionate about her studies and work. She had never taken these affairs to heart. Ever since she was young, she had rejected countless people who admired her, causing those young boys’ hearts to be shattered.

Mu Tangchuan thought for a moment. The first time he heard the name Zhuang Shurong was when he was about to graduate in his senior year.

The summer of that year came earlier than usual.

After the long May 17 holiday, the weather was extremely hot and there was not a hint of wind in the air.

At that time, most of the senior students had already completed their graduation thesis and were busy looking for jobs, looking for internships, or following the school’s arrangements and being assigned to work units.

At that time, the policy for university students was still very good. Universities did not expand their enrolment, and it was not like now, where the requirements for university entrance were so low. At that time, university students were all assigned jobs, and those who studied at a university were all top students, therefore, the treatment was generally very good.

Of course, it was only May, and it was not yet time for them to receive their graduation certificate. There was still a crucial step before they could receive their graduation certificate.

That was the thesis defense.

Mu Tangchuan had a clear idea of his job assignment.

He should stay in the city. Wang Hui had paved the way for him, he would joining the government directly.

He did not reject such an arrangement because he had already made his position clear in his heart when he chose the school.

He did not like to go into business, so he could not take over his father, Mu Yinan’s Glory World. He was also afraid of the hardships of joining the military, so his only choice was to go into politics.

After taking his leave, Mu Tangchuan stayed in school to prepare for his thesis defense. Of course, at that time, he was also working part-time as a waiter in a big bar in the city. At that time, the bar was not called that, it was called a nightclub, and the singing was not called KTV, it was called karaoke.

Mu Tangchuan usually went to places like this. Of course, it was not his original intention. Zhou Zhenjun and the others always dragged him over. Su Zhengxun was also a sanctimonious person. Although he looked tense and serious, when he went there, they would have lots of fun. He was the only one who was more well-behaved. This was because he was really a little afraid of going home and getting beaten up.

Ever since he was young, he always suffered beatings from Wang Hui. Wang Hui only restrained herself a little when he grew older.

There was no need to mention things on Zhou Zhenjun’s end. His father was a person who could not control his temper. Moreover, he came from the battlefield. If Zhou Zhenjun was disobedient, he would often be beaten up. He would be beaten up once every three days and once every five days. These were all common occurrences.

When he was young, Zhou Zhenjun could be heard wailing and crying almost every day in the military compound. Su Zhengxun would occasionally go over. When he saw Zhou Zhenjun lying on the bench and asking if it hurt, Zhou Zhenjun would spit at him and scold him for not being loyal enough, he would run away when something happened!

Only when he grew older did these corporal punishments reduce over time.

…

“Tangchuan, it’s time to eat. Let’s go get some food together!”

In front of the study table in the dormitory, Mu Tangchuan was sorting out the framework for his thesis defense when his roommate, Meng Xi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly reminded him.

Meng Xi was Mu Tangchuan’s upper bunk roommate, so he had quite a good relationship with Mu Tangchuan.

Mu Tangchuan raised his head and glanced at the alarm clock in front of him. It was already 11:35 a.m., and the dining hall in University A starts at 11:00 a.m.

“Hurry up, school is about to end. There will be a lot of people after the first year, second year, and third year classes.”

Like all the students, they did not like to line up for meals, so Meng Xi urged them.

There were a lot of people in University A. There were several campuses, and they were from the eastern campus. There were more than 20,000 people in the entire eastern campus, with only three cafeterias, including the teachers’ cafeteria, so most of the time was crowded.

“Okay.”

Mu Tangchuan quickly put down his pen, went to get the lunch box, and followed Meng Xi out of the door.

When they arrived at the canteen and finished taking away their meals, he suddenly remembered that Shen Wenna seemed to have caught a cold these few days and did not have much appetite. Mu Tangchuan asked Meng Xi to bring his meals to the dormitory, he bought a strawberry ice cream and some fruits for Shen Wenna and wanted to send them over to her.

Shen Wenna was Uncle Shen’s daughter. This Uncle Shen and his mother were comrades-in-arms, so they usually interacted. Mu Tangchuan only had one younger sister, Mu Zixi. Mu Zixi was a little rebellious and was not that close to her older brother. However, he liked this Shen Wenna quite a lot. She was quiet and he admitted that he liked her a little now.

His mother had even told him before that she hoped that he could woo Shen Wenna and marry her into the Mu family to be his daughter-in-law.

However, when he heard that Shen Wenna was a couple with the most handsome boy at school, Xi Mushan, he felt quite regretful. Later on, he put away all these thoughts and protected Shen Wenna as if she was his own sister.

“Look! Someone’s confessing to Zhuang Shurong again!”

“Ah, there’s even a banner. There’s even a rose!”

“Look, isn’t that Xu Rumeng from the Mechanics Department?”

“He’s really persistent. This is the third time this semester, right?”

“Only he dares to do that. He’s really a playboy. I heard that his father is a big businessman in our city. His family is very rich. He’s liked Zhuang Shurong for a few years. He fell in love with Zhuang Shurong at first sight since his first year. After chasing her for four years, he still hasn’t gotten her. This Zhuang Shurong is so hard to get!”
