A wealthy playboy for nineteen years, my first love fulfills my dream of becoming a father.

Chapter 48 Silu, Give Dad a Chance

Lu Fan returned to the pastry shop.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Chen He asked with a smile, "Boss, did you manage to drink the soup made by the boss's wife?"

"You've finally shown some intelligence for once," Lu Fan nodded.

After spending these days together, he finally got to drink the soup that Jiang Yixia cooked.

Although it's a small step, it's a big step forward for the two to get back together.

Seeing that Jiang Yixia wouldn't be able to return to the flower shop anytime soon, Lu Fan said to Jiali, "Let's go back to Jinling then."

He hadn't seen Jiang Silu for a long time and wanted to see his daughter.

At this moment, Jiang Silu brought her computer to the teaching building.

More than half an hour earlier, the senior students had decided to gather the group members to report on their respective design progress.

As a freshman, Jiang Silu naturally dared not slack off.

When she arrived at the classroom, she saw that her senior classmates were all there, so she immediately greeted them respectfully: "Hello, senior classmates. Professor Chen asked me to come and report on the progress of the design."

Since we've been assigning tasks online before, this is the first time we've all met in person.

When Jiang Silu appeared in front of everyone, some of the boys' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hello, junior!" The first to speak was a tall boy wearing glasses. He immediately introduced himself: "I'm a sophomore, my name is Kong Le."

He took out his phone, opened the group chat, pointed to his QQ profile picture, and said, "That James profile picture is me."

"Hello, senior brother." Jiang Silu immediately bowed.

Another boy stepped forward: "Hi junior! I'm a third-year student, my name is Peng Chengshuai, the 'shuai' in 'handsome'."

"Haha, hello Senior Brother Peng," Jiang Silu replied.

The other students also introduced themselves.

It seemed that Jiang Silu's arrival gave everyone a new common topic of conversation.

After all, she's a freshman, a girl, and a pretty girl at that—she's got all the advantages.

Although there were two senior female students present, they seemed very friendly and praised Jiang Silu for being beautiful.

This also made Jiang Silu feel the warmth of friendship.

Just then, a female voice came from behind: "Have you all prepared your design drafts?"

Everyone turned to look.

A girl wearing black-rimmed glasses walked in.

She was somewhat unsmiling, and her figure and appearance were those of an ordinary girl, but she exuded a low-pressure aura that made people unable to approach her.

The senior students who were just chatting and laughing suddenly fell silent. They all turned on their computers and took out their design drafts.

The girl stood in front of everyone and looked around.

In fact, she had been watching everyone from the window at the back of the classroom for five minutes already.

Just like an elementary school homeroom teacher, always looking for opportunities to catch someone.

When she saw everyone laughing and joking, not taking the competition seriously at all, she got angry and immediately walked in.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly turn cold, Jiang Silu followed suit and took out her laptop.

Peng Chengshuai, with his sharp eyes, noticed Jiang Silu's computer and exclaimed in surprise, "Silu, your laptop is an Alienware? How much did it cost?"

Jiang Silu immediately felt embarrassed.

Although she knew the price, she kept it low-key and simply said, "This was bought by my elders, I didn't know."

"Wow, this one must be really expensive. Only a computer like this can design without lag," Peng Chengshuai exclaimed.

Their conversation also drew Kong Le's attention to Jiang Silu's computer.

He kept exclaiming, "My God, this computer is so cool! Compared to it, my Hasee computer is just garbage."

"Haha, Kong Le, my ASUS is the same, it's garbage when compared to this." Peng Chengshuai said with a laugh.

"Junior Kong, Junior Peng, I hope that when we discuss the design progress, we won't talk about other unrelated topics," the girl with black-rimmed glasses standing in front demanded in a firm tone.

Upon hearing this, the two boys immediately fell silent, lowered their heads, and quietly opened CAD.

Jiang Silu never expected that two tall boys would be rendered speechless by a girl.

She instinctively knew that this senior must be very impressive.

Sure enough, the girl turned her gaze to Jiang Silu.

It seems she blamed Jiang Silu for the noise from this small group.

"Is she Jiang Silu, a freshman?" the girl asked.

Jiang Silu immediately stood up and explained earnestly, "Senior, that's me."

"Yes, I'm Shen Hong, a senior, and I'm the one who's assigning tasks to you. Although I don't know why Professor Chen would put a freshman with little experience in our design group, I hope you won't hold us back," Shen Hong said seriously.

Jiang Silu immediately replied, "Don't worry, Senior Shen Hong, I will definitely study hard and try not to hold everyone back."

"That would be best."

Shen Hong then gestured for her to open CAD and check the drawing tasks assigned a few days ago.

Jiang Silu opened CAD, turned the computer screen towards Shen Hong, and waited anxiously.

"The proportions of these lines are wrong, this pillar is too thick, and we designed a pocket park, so the entrance is too exaggerated..." Shen Hong listed a lot of problems in one breath.

This made Jiang Silu very embarrassed.

But what hurt her the most was Shen Hong's next sentence: "But it doesn't matter, you can just help out. Anyway, your name isn't on the final list of participants for the competition."

Upon hearing this, Peng Chengshuai asked awkwardly, "Senior Shen Hong, can't we include junior Silu in the final list of submitted works?"

"No," Shen Hong said coldly. "Our design team has consistently won awards in competitions over the past two years, and the member list has always been the same. If it weren't for Professor Chen's recommendation, I wouldn't have wanted any freshmen at all. What can freshmen do? They can't draw, they can't create sketches, and they certainly can't render."

She turned to look at everyone: "Of course, if anyone wants to include Silu in the member list, they can withdraw voluntarily."

Seeing this, Jiang Silu quickly replied, "Senior Shen Hong, I don't need to be added to the list. I'm here to learn from everyone's work."

"Well, it's good that you have this awareness." After saying that, Shen Hong went to look at the other members' design drafts.

For the rest of the afternoon, although Jiang Silu wore a smile, she was in a terrible mood.

After all this effort, I don't even have a name.

She could only console herself that this was all paving the way for future success.

After the meeting, Kong Le wanted to invite Jiang Silu to go out for snacks outside the school, but Jiang Silu politely declined: "I'm sorry, my roommate is waiting for me. We agreed to go out for dinner together today."

"Alright then, we'll do it another day~" Kong Le waved his hand, and before leaving, he said some bad things about Shen Hong to Jiang Silu: "Don't take what that senior said to heart, that's just her personality, we've been like this for the past two years."

Jiang Silu nodded and said, "It's okay. Actually, I'm already very happy that you gave me a chance to learn."

She then went downstairs, while Song Miaomiao waited in the square.

Seeing that Jiang Silu was in a bad mood, Song Miaomiao asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Jiang Silu then recounted what had just happened.

When Song Miaomiao learned of this, she was furious: "No way, what gives that senior the right? You got Professor Chen's approval, so you have the ability to be on the member list! What gives her the right to reject you with just one sentence?"

Although Jiang Silu was upset, she still comforted herself, saying, "Maybe the list of members is limited. It's okay, maybe I'll be selected next time."

"I'm so angry!" Song Miaomiao clenched her fists and said, "If I had been there just now, I would have given her a good scolding."

Seeing her best friend defend her like this, Jiang Silu felt a little better.

Just as they were discussing where to eat, Lu Fan stood in front of them.

Jiang Silu's mood didn't fluctuate much when she saw Lu Fan.

She said to Song Miaomiao, "Wait here for me for a moment, I'm coming over."

"it is good."

When Lu Fan saw Jiang Silu walking over, he smiled and said, "Silu, what a coincidence! I just happened to be passing by the school and was wondering if I could run into you on campus. And I actually did!"

"I always feel like you've installed a GPS on me," Jiang Silu complained.

"Actually, I think it's just a special connection between us, father and daughter." Lu Fan noticed Jiang Silu seemed a bit down and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Silu shook her head, then asked, "Did you want to see me about something?"

"I was just passing by, thinking I might run into you at school. It just so happens to be lunchtime. Are you hungry? How about I take you and your classmates out to eat? Don't worry, your mom should have already told you about my efforts to make it up to you. Please don't feel guilty, Silu. Just give your dad a chance, okay? I'll treat you to a meal, alright?"

Indeed, women are all emotional.

Even if Jiang Silu hated the man in front of her, she couldn't help but soften her heart after his explanation.

But she still took out her phone and said, "Then I'll call my mom first."

Seeing this, Lu Fan silently prayed in his heart: [Yi Xia, my beautiful and kind wife, you have to promise your daughter, okay? If you promise, I'll reward you by giving me eight more children.]

Jiang Yixia, far away in Guangzhou, couldn't help but sneeze...
