Sally and Diana's family is also famous in Shu City now. The people in Shu City said that they respected their ancestors, so they had good fortune.
They had no idea that any of this was given to them by David. What the two families did was simply help David at the most difficult and distressing moment and take him to live with them. From Sally and Diana's view, they were David's relatives as well as David's elders, so they had to help David as a responsibility. However, David gave them so much in return.
David had the same idea. Since they were family, he had to help them if he had the ability to do so.
Instead, Uncle Bobby and Uncle Leslie of David are now at odds over compensation from David's parents. To this day, David has not given them any benefit. The two families still remembered the envious eyes of those people when they returned.
They begged Sally and the Diana family to help them find a way for them to also come to flourish in River City. However, Sally and Diana both refused. They want them to work at David's company, but if David doesn't say anything about it, Sally and Diana have no right to say anything.
They know David's temperament. When someone shows her a little kindness, she will repay him with everything he has. However, David did not owe these families any debt at all.
On the contrary, the feud between Bobby and David was quite bad, so naturally they would not agree.
As they were working at the hotel earlier that day, they heard from the hotel staff that the chairman had returned and he had asked the hotel to prepare lunch. So, Sally and Diana gathered their family members to come together to deliver food to David.
After this, a group of eight people entered the living room. David greeted everyone one by one. After which, he called out to Celia, who was acting rather reserved by the window.
“Celia, come. Let me introduce you to Aunt Sally and my Aunt Diana.”
At this time, both families noticed that there was actually someone else in the living room. Celia nervously approached and stood beside David.
Sally and Diana looked at Celia's face in surprise. This girl is so pretty. They had worked at the Golden Leaf Hotel for so long and most of the people who came and went were elites, but they had never seen such a beautiful girl before.
"Aiihi..We didn't think you'd find such a beautiful boyfriend."
David introduced them to each other. Celia also greeted them one by one.
“Celia, you are so beautiful.” said Lily happily after putting the items in her hands on the table and grabbing Celia's hand.
"Lily, you are also very beautiful.”
"Dave, why didn't you tell us that you brought your girlfriend? I didn't prepare anything.” said Sally.
According to their tradition, the family elders needed to give a gift to David's girlfriend when she brought him back.
“We also did not prepare anything.” said Diana.
"Aunt Sally, Aunt Diana, how do I know that you suddenly showed up? I'll bring Celia to visit you guys in the afternoon." David smiled wryly.
"Then, we will find time to have a meeting in the future. You haven't eaten, have you? Let's eat first.”
After Sally said that, she placed the lunch she was holding onto the table. The rest followed and also put down the food they were holding.
The next day, David takes Celia to visit his aunt Sally and Diana's family. Celia received four different gifts, as it was a tradition that the David family followed to bestow their blessings.
As elder David, adults decide to give their blessings in the form of gifts, but how expensive each gift is depends on the financial capabilities of the adult.
Celia was overjoyed, not because of the many gifts she received because she did not care much about it, but because she had been received by the elders of David. This is the most important thing for him.
David has plans to bring Celia back to Shu City. Their high school reunion will be held in three days, and she is thinking of taking the opportunity to visit the school they once attended.
At the same time, they can also take the opportunity to stroll around Shu City as they have many memories of the place.
When Sally and Diana find out that David is going to Shu City, they also pack up their belongings to return with him.
Despite living permanently in River City now, Shu City was still their hometown where their family and friends were. They had made it a habit to visit Shu City every month.
That group of ten people thus left River City for Shu City with four luxurious cars. David drives a Benz G-Class that's worth about three million, not a Bugatti Veyron that's worth eighty million dollars.
First, Bugatti will attract too much attention. Second, Shu City is a small area, and its unpaved roads are not suitable for Bugatti's low chassis.
When they arrive in Shu City, Sally and Diana invite David to their home, but David finally decides to take Celia to the best hotel in Shu City. People tend to feel less comfortable when they stay as guests in someone else's home.
David is fine living with his aunt because he has lived there for many years before, but he does not want Celia to feel uncomfortable.
After resting all night, David and Celia go to Shu City High School where they study together after breakfast. The close distance makes them no need to drive, as they are quite on foot. This was because of how small Shu City was.
As the couple walked down the street, they caught the attention of passers-by on the street. Shu City is a small town, and people there rarely see a couple as smooth and attractive as David and Celia.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked, but when they arrived at the crossroads, Celia suddenly stopped walking and stared blankly ahead.
“What's up, Celia?” David turned around and asked, after realizing that Celia did not continue walking with him.
“David, remember this place?” celia asked, her voice thick with emotion.
“Of course. How could I forget this place? I saved an angel with a broken wing here years ago. I thought he would leave and return to his original place after his wings recovered, but I never thought that he would be standing here waiting for me instead.”
“I don't want to be an angel, David. All I want is to stay by your side forever. I don't expect to be the only one for the rest of my life. I would be satisfied even if I could only see you every day." Celia looked at David and said sincerely.
“Why are you so stupid?” David gently pulled Celia into a hug.
Celia leaned into David's embrace and hugged him back. The two of them hugged on the streets attracting the attention of many people around.
After all, it was midday and such public displays of affection were rare. And the two of them had attracted so much attention because of how handsome and beautiful they were.
They are more handsome and charming than celebrities on television. More and more people began to gather and Celia began to realize that the passersby were looking towards those who were hugging in the middle of the road. Therefore, he pushed David away and grabbed his hand with a flushed face, then walked quickly towards Shu City High School. He felt ashamed to be stared at by so many people on the street.
They both arrive at Shu City High School. The large metal gate was closed, but the small door near the security room was still open. David and Celia walked to the open door and saw an old man watching television inside.
“Do you remember me, Mr Lowell? I'm David, I'm here to visit you.”
David carried two bags of goods into the security room with Celia following behind him, and he spoke and placed them on a small table inside. Mr. Lowell looked at David well.
'This young man looks familiar.'
After thinking for a moment, he finally remembered who the young man was. It was David Lidell, a former student of Shu City High School. The reason why David felt familiar was because the young man used to deliver food to him at rest. After some time, the two became familiar and close to each other.
Mr. Lowell actually had a lot of respect for this young man. While other students study and play around, David is usually out doing part-time work. It was something that really strengthened that respect.
And also, even though David always does part-time work, David's results are never bad and he's always ranked among the top two in his class.
David is one of the most valuable students at Shu City High School, as he enrolled at SRU after graduating three years ago. Unfortunately, a female student who scored higher successfully enrolled at Greenwood University that year. Otherwise, David will get the best results from all the graduates at Shu City High School.
‘Wait! The girl behind David, isn't she the girl who got into Greenwood University?’
The image of Celia is still affixed in Shu City High School's Glory Column. After all, he had gotten the highest marks among other students for several years in South River Province. Shu City High School has been celebrating for days because of this. It was the best thing that had happened at Shu City High School since it was founded.
No one expected a student from a high school in a small county to score higher than all the other students in South River Province.
“David! It took a long time for you to come and visit me! And here I think you've been successful and forgotten all about me, hmm?" Mr. Lowell teased enthusiastically as he put out the cigarette in his mouth and stood up.
“I would never do that! I'm here now, aren't I? Here I bring you cigarettes and drinks. Thank you for taking care of me for so many years.”
“You don't have to buy me anything, son! Bring those things back. You can give me a gift after you graduate and make a lot of money, okay? I promised I'd take the gift, but not now. Not when I know how hard it is for you.” said Mr. Lowell looking rather angry.
He is well aware of David's financial situation, seeing as how he continued to do part-time work in the past until his final year of high school. He should have focused on his studies instead.
It looks like David also worked part-time while studying at university. While cigarettes and drinks are far from expensive, they are sure to spend a day or two on part-time wages.
“I can't possibly come to see you every day, Mr. Lowell. Just take the prize. I've bought it, it would be a waste not to receive it.”
Mr. Lowell thought about it and replied, “Alright, then! I'll take it this time, but don't you dare give me anything when you visit next time, okay?"
Mr. Lowell finally decided to accept the prize. He had seen the potential in David many years ago and they were both rather close. Not accepting it meant belittling David's sincere feelings.
“Is there anyone in the class, Mr Lowell? If I remember correctly, there should be additional classes for seniors and students during the holidays, right?" ask David.
“There! Schools have additional classes now to prepare them for their senior year." replied Mr. Lowell.
“Can we log in and have a look around? It has been a long time since we returned to Shu City High School, I miss this place so much.”
“Sure, just don't be too noisy and don't disturb students in class.”
“Thank you, Mr. Lowell. Then, we'll go in.” David grabbed Celia's hand to go inside.
“Wait! Are you Celia Young? The one who scored the highest score three years ago?” Mr. Lowell suddenly asked.
“He is the one! Mr Lowell, Celia is also my girlfriend now!” david said with a smile.
“Halo, Mr. Lowell. I'm Celia.” greet Celia shyly.
“Good work, Son! Ha ha ha ha! Go you two, then!” mr. Lowell said as he pointed his thumb at David.
“Thank you, Mr Lowell!”
After that, David walked to the campus with Celia.
