Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

The mother and daughter ran upstairs to take a look at the room. Shanlai was very satisfied with it and kept praising the design of the room, saying it was very much to her liking.

"Mom, why do I feel so familiar with the design of this manor?" Shan Lai touched her head. She was sure that she must have seen it somewhere, but she just couldn't remember where it was.

Dong Shen covered his mouth and smiled, "You little idiot." Then he patted her head gently, "Have you forgotten? This is the work that won the first prize in the architectural design competition held by Kassell in your high school."

Shanlai suddenly understood.

Yes, she said it seemed a little familiar, so that’s how it is.

After her mother said this, she remembered that although their school was a high school, it was divided into junior high school and high school departments.

At that time, she and Nadel had just entered the first grade of junior high school, and Kassell happened to skip a grade. He was supposed to be in the third grade of junior high school, but he jumped to the second grade of high school.

At that time, no one knew who came up with this architectural design competition out of boredom, and Nadel excitedly dragged her to sign up for it. But when she found out that Kassell was also participating, she decisively gave up her qualification to participate.

Kassell strives for perfection in everything he does. No matter whether he is studying or living, he always seems to be full of energy and I have never seen him complain about anything.

Once the teacher assigned an assignment, she forgot what it was exactly, but it was an assignment she found really difficult to complete, and she was prepared to get a zero.

When she was playing with Kassell, she casually mentioned it, half-jokingly saying that she was a little loser. Kassell just chuckled and comforted her not to worry, and then he went to look up books and materials and those difficult foreign publications in private to help her complete her homework.

As expected, she received full marks in her studies and was praised by her teacher, who said she was talented and creative.

Anyway, a lot of compliments were said to her, and she even felt embarrassed after hearing those words, because it was not her who did it, so she should not be the one being praised.

When she went to thank Kassell, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

In that architectural design competition, Kassell not only made a design, but also made a small model himself.

This manor is simply an enlarged version of that model.

"You don't know, this design was originally favored by a nobleman in Country M. At that time, Kassell's family happened to have some friendship with this person, and Kassell was going to give this design to him."

"It's all because of you, a naughty little monkey, that you just casually said you liked this and Kassell didn't give it to you. You made up an excuse and made a new design for that person." Dong Shen said coquettishly and reached out to touch Shanlai's little nose.

Shanlai smiled awkwardly, still feeling a little surprised.

She didn't know that her parents had arranged to build this manor in Country K. She only found out after they came back.

What she never expected was that the design draft used was Kassell's, which really gave her a "surprise".

At that time, she really thought the design of the manor was very good, so she said that she liked it. Who knew that Kassell actually kept this design.

"Yes, yes, Kassell is Nadel's brother, and Nadel and I are best friends, so Kassell treats me as his sister." Shan Lai stuck out her tongue mischievously, then took Dong Shen's hand and went downstairs again.

When Dong Shen heard her say this, his eyes flickered, and he moved his mouth but ultimately didn't say much.

To be honest, Kassell grew up under her care, and she thought he was a very good kid, tall and handsome, with a good temper, gentle and humble, and his interpersonal skills were impeccable.

Kassell's mother loved her baby daughter Shanlai very much, and once wanted to let the two of them be together, but Shanlai didn't seem to have any interest in this regard, so Kassell's mother didn't force it and just let the young people do what they wanted.

Later, she returned to Country K, and when she turned on the camera by accident, she saw the boy named Hanazawa Rui. While chatting with him, she felt that the boy was very cultured.

Judging from the news that came from Country K to Country M, Shan Lai seemed to like Lei very much, and they all knew that the two of them had confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Later, Lei's parents interviewed the couple on the pretext of the Huaze family expanding their foundation to Country M, and told them their views on Shanlai and Lei being together.

The two parents had a good chat.

In the end, A Yin said that Shanlai was still young and had not yet had her coming-of-age ceremony, so it would not be too late to discuss these things after her coming-of-age ceremony. If the two children really liked each other, they could still develop further in the future.

Dong Shen was lost in thought as he thought about this matter.

Shan Lai called her twice but she didn't seem to respond.

"Mother."

"Ah?" Dong Shen finally reacted.

Shan Lai was amused by her reaction and laughed, "Mom, what are you thinking about? You were so engrossed in your thoughts. Didn't you hear me talking nonsense just now?" she said deliberately.

Dong Shen's heart was filled with alarm bells. What did this little scoundrel just say?

She was just thinking about something, so she didn't hear what she said, "Baby, it's my fault. I was so busy thinking that I ignored what you said. Tell me again. I'm listening carefully."

Seeing Dong Shen's sincere apology, Shan Lai had no choice but to say that she was teasing her, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed again.

The two were talking about funny things, laughing as they walked, and they were still laughing when they sat on the sofa in the hall.

Deng Heyin, who was making Kung Fu tea, saw the mother and daughter were so happy, and a genuine smile appeared on his face. This was the life he wanted. The family should stay together and not be separated, and everyone should be happy.

"By the way, Shanlai, your aunt called your mother a few days ago and said that she missed you very much." Dong Shen suddenly calmed down and looked at Shanlai in front of him very seriously.

Shan Lai paused and said, "Aunt?" He felt very upset when he said these three words.

Dong Shen nodded, "Yes, your aunt and her family have been living in England with your brother. Your brother is very hardworking. I heard that he was admitted to a very good high school there."
