Shirley thought that they were going to quarrel, so she was so scared that she stood there and did not dare to speak. Who knew that the two of them would stop and look at her.

"Your sense of humor is too bad. Boss won't like it.”The woman in red shook her head.

"That's not necessarily true. Women are only attracted to men when they are pure. This is a male instinct.”Wang Ma said.

"Why?" The woman in red asked.

"A man's instinct is to think that the child is pure. It can ensure that the child is his.”Wang Ma said as she took a sip of coffee.

Shirley coughed awkwardly and asked,""Then what should I do?"

"Next, you have to learn how to be a qualified saintess. You can't all stay here now. Shirley, do you want to go to school somewhere else with me?”

"Where to?" Shirley asked.

" Hmm…" The woman in red thought for a moment and said,""Let's go back to China."

This time, Mother Wang and the woman in red had a private chat with all the sisters. After that, most of the sisters went their separate ways. Mother Wang and the girl in red would each take a sister with them every day. They would leave in the morning and come back the next day to take the next one.

A few days later, it was finally Cher's turn. On the day the girl in red took cindy away, she said to Cher,"Get ready. Your flight is very early tomorrow.”

That night, Cher did not sleep after packing her luggage. She chatted with the rest of her sisters through the night. The butler thoughtfully brought some wine for them. For the past seven years, they had been banned from alcohol, of course, because they were still young. In the past year, some of the mature sisters had started to learn how to drink. When Mother Wang found out, she would take them to the room with the golden light.

Shirley went in again, but she didn't fall asleep this time. She just went in and chatted for a while before coming out. Wang Ma had said that alcohol would cause irreversible damage to the brain and that one had to strengthen the system before they could drink without worry. Shirley didn't quite understand what she meant.

In short, everyone drank and chatted that night. They were all drunk and in a daze. Those who were close even hugged each other and cried, vowing to be good sisters for life.

In the second half of the night, when Shirley was still drunk, the butler came to inform her to get her luggage. The girl in red returned at around three in the morning. She brought Shirley to the car waiting at the entrance and drove to the Europa airport.

After bidding farewell to the sisters who had sent her to the door, she hugged the girl in red in the car and cried bitterly. She called her Mother Xuan under the influence of alcohol. All these years, she had wanted to call him that, but she never had the courage to do so.

Mother Xuan sighed and stroked Xue Li's hair. Although she looked like Xue Li was only a few years older than her, she could only be considered her older sister at most.

At Eruo Airport, they took a Chinese domestic flight that took off at 6:15. They first arrived at Rome Ciampino Airport for a transfer, where they had to wait for more than three hours. Originally, they couldn't leave the airport, but Mother Xuan's methods were superb. In addition, they were both proficient in Italian, so they successfully went to Rome to play.

When she was studying in Basel, Shirley had watched the famous Roman holiday movie. This time, she followed Mother Xuan on the streetcar to take a look around the city. It was a pity that the Mouth of Truth in the movie that could detect lies could not be entered because the Cosmedin Cathedral was not open yet. However, he still had a rough look at the fountain and the arena.

When they returned to the airport and took off again, Xue Li, who had not slept for the entire night, felt sleepy. She could not help but hold Mother Xuan's hand and fall asleep.

The plane flew in the sky for more than ten hours. Xue Li was basically sleeping the whole time. When she was woken up by Mother Xuan, the plane had already landed. Looking out of the window, it was dark again.

After they passed the security check, they took their luggage and left the airport. The sky was bright. He turned around and saw the two words 'Xi'an 'written in Chinese. Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, which had just completed its second phase of construction, was even more impressive and beautiful than those in Europe. Who said that China was backward?

They were picked up by a luxury car on the wide road and entered Xi'an City in less than half an hour. They drove straight into the school gate of Xi'an High School in Shaanxi Province on Fengcheng Fifth Road.

From then on, Shirley lived here for two years. Mother Xuan helped her with the procedures and left her a new iPhone 4S.

It was the autumn of 2012 when he first arrived in Xi'an. She had been enrolled in the third year of junior high school. At that time, her Chinese was getting rusty. German, French, and Italian were completely useless. She did not even get high marks in English.

He only got half of the English listening test right. He made even more mistakes in the complicated grammar and uncommon tenses in the written test. In the end, he barely passed.

The way she solved the math problem was very different from what she had learned, so she only scored slightly more than 20 points.

His Chinese Literature score was even lower than 10 points.

Fortunately, he didn't take the Physics and Chemistry test. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to understand the questions, let alone pass.

Compared to the school's strictness towards the other students, they were finally able to turn a blind eye to Xue Li. They didn't even bother about her bringing her cell phone to school, but the others had to confiscate it.

Shirley was very good at adapting to unfamiliar environments. Her sisters in Basel were quite independent. He got along well with his classmates and teachers, but the teachers here were more serious.

Although Mother Xuan did not come to visit her often, she would often contact her on the phone and teach her some ways to please the teachers and the school. However, the call would not last too long. In Xi'an, there were people sent by Mother Xuan to visit her every week and give her money and things. During the weekends, she would sometimes stay with the family who took care of her for two days or travel alone nearby.

In school, she was an anomaly. She was the only one who had no concept of grades. No matter how low her score was, she didn't care about the expression on the teacher's face. No one asked her about her score. Later on, the teacher only checked her test papers and did not write down her score. Otherwise, her score would be a consolation to the students with poor grades in the class.

During the winter and summer holidays, Mother Xuan would sometimes come and send someone to pick her up. Those were the happiest days for Shirley. Most of the sisters would reunite, and they would tell each other about the pain of parting and bring each other gifts and specialties.

Nearly half of her sisters were actually studying in China, but Mother Wang forbade them from visiting each other or leaving their contact information. Even if they secretly left it, whether it was a note or a phone memory, it would be erased and severely criticized.

Once Wang Ma got angry, even the most doted on Cindy kept quiet out of fear. From then on, they had strictly followed Mother Wang and Mother Xuan's instructions. At least Xue Li didn't dare to do anything out of line.

After finishing her third year in Xi'an High School, she was exempted from the entrance examination and went to the first year of high school. It was the most painful to fall ill there. There was no longer Mother Wang who could be treated quickly by his side. He often had a fever or cough for a few days.

Once, she had a high fever and had difficulty breathing. Her hands and feet were twitching. The school doctor said that she had respiratory finement and needed to be sent to a big hospital for treatment. The people Mother Xuan had sent to take care of her had also rushed over and called 120. That night when she was still on the way to the ambulance, the person who took care of her was suddenly called out, leaving only Shirley in the room. Just as he was feeling groggy and uncomfortable, Wang Ma miraculously pushed the door open and came in. She asked Shirley to close her eyes. Shirley could feel the golden light shining through her eyelids, as if she had returned to the room with the yellow light bulb in Basel's big house. Her illness was cured in an instant. Shirley was so excited that she wanted to say something, but Mother Wang signaled her not to say anything. Wang Ma kissed her on the forehead, and Xue Li closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the room was empty.

In the first year of high school, the boys began to secretly pursue Shirley. This situation was exactly what Mother Xuan had expected. She had come here a few times to teach Xue Li how to capture and let go of a boy's heart. How to make a boy who you want to chase chase after you chase after you, and how to make a boy who you don't want to chase after you give up. He even gave her a few German psychology books to read. Other than her, no one else in the school could understand these books.

One time, Mother Xuan came over and took Xue Li on leave to go hiking on a whim. When he left the school, he saw Mother Xuan driving a Lamborghini and stopping at the entrance. Mother Xuan sped all the way, causing Xue Li to be frightened. There were still many mountain roads for more than a hundred kilometers. They arrived in less than an hour. They climbed up the steep Mount Hua, but they didn't go to those famous places. They only went to a Taoist temple with very small words on the map, called Dongdao Temple (Nine Heavens Palace). He brought her in and stood in front of the statue of the Nine Heavenly Maiden for a while before driving her back to school.

At the end of the first year of high school, an infatuated boy was rejected by Xue Li according to Mother Xuan's instructions. He actually threatened to jump off a building in school. Originally, these things were carried out in secret, but this alarmed the school's higher-ups and the man's parents. After the school's investigation, they thought that it was the boy's own problem, but Shirley knew that it was her gaze that caused the trouble. In her depression, she asked Mother Xuan to take her out of the school.

Mother Xuan agreed immediately and told her to take the new TOEFL online test and prepare to go to Hong Kong to take the SAT test. "Go through the procedures. You can go to Brown University anytime.”she said.

It had to be said that the language learning in Basel was very effective. Although TOEFL was an English proficiency test for non-native English speakers, Shirley easily obtained good results.

The SAT was very complicated. Mother Xuan sent someone to help her complete the online registration. The credit card, passport, and Hong Kong and Macau entry permit were also sent to help Shirley complete the process step by step. She could go to Hong Kong for the exam in the latter part of the month.

This time, Shirley set off alone. When she asked the teacher for a leave of absence, saying that she was going to Hong Kong to take the SAT1 exam, the teachers were all shocked. The plane went straight to Hong Kong, and they took the airport express train to the subway. That day, they checked into the Ascot Hotel on Ascot Road.

The next day, at the entrance of the Maryknoll Church School's SAT1 exam venue, Cher, who was feeling uncertain, met Mother Xuan and felt relieved.

The exam lasted for four hours. During the reading, grammar, and mathematics, Shirley heard Mother Xuan's voice in her ears. Some of the questions were given hints, some were answered directly, and the final thesis writing was almost completed by dictation. In other words, he had cheated and completed the exam. When the first voice was heard, Mother Xuan said to her,"Xue Li, don't be nervous. These college entrance examination questions are still too difficult for you, so I'll help you this time. When you enter university, you'll be on your own.”

The final writing test was completed very quickly, but they were not allowed to leave the examination room until 1:30 in the afternoon. After Mother Xuan finished speaking, her voice stopped. After handing in the papers, they didn't find Mother Xuan. They could only see some parents of other candidates looking for their children in the crowd with concerned eyes.

Not long after returning to Xi'an, he received an OFFER from Brown University in Rhode Island, which was also one of the top ten universities in the United States and one of the Ivy League schools.

After getting her visa, Shirley suddenly wanted to go back to the orphanage to take a look.

When she returned to the orphanage in Congtai District of Handan City, Xue Li was already a 17-year-old girl. No one could recognize her. When she left, she was terminally ill and could not be cured. Who would have thought that this girl with long hair and stunning beauty, who was carrying luggage and walking steadily and elegantly, was the same Snowy who was as dispirited as Hawking except for being able to eat by herself.

Most of the equipment from his childhood had disappeared, but the slide and merry-go-round were still there. Back then, he felt that he would never be able to climb up the slide. Now, it seemed that the top of the slide was not even as high as his nose. After ten years, some of the adults who had taken care of her back then had disappeared, but a few were still around. Xue Li did not dare to go over and acknowledge them.

The warm-hearted, responsible, and poor security auntie was still the same, but she had aged a lot. "Child, are you from an orphanage?" she asked Shirley with a smile.”

"You know me?" Shirley asked in surprise.”

She shook her head." No, but I've seen a lot of people come back. They have the same expression as you.”

Shirley was silent. Before she left, she gave the nearly ten thousand yuan in cash to the mother-in-law at the door and asked her to give a cent to those who needed it or take it herself. Before she could refuse, Shirley ran away.

After that, she went to Zhonghuang Mountain and Emperor NvWa's Palace in She County the next day. Now, she no longer had any impression of Zhonghuang Mountain. Instead, the Emperor NvWa Palace, which was built on the mountain and started in Northern Qi, was simple and unadorned. It was unforgettable.

After arriving in the United States, under the arrangement of Mother Xuan, Shirley studied economics at Brown University's Social Sciences.

Private universities like Brown University would take into account factors such as donations and schoolmates when recruiting students. Mother Xuan found a number of prestigious Brown University graduates who recommended Shirley at the same time. In addition to her excellent SAT results, she made an exception and accepted her, who was younger.

Brown's economics professor's concept was very conservative, which was very different from Wall Street's radical and greedy economic operation model. It was more similar to the traditional Chinese concept of success. After Shirley graduated with a master's degree, Mother Xuan arranged for her to go to Wall Street to learn another style of economics that used leverage to quickly accumulate wealth.

During her years in the United States, Shirley had been attending Brown University as a day student. Usually, he lived in the home of an old couple who believed in the religion of the church. When he saw that Shirley was young and beautiful, he had always advised her not to have premarital sex. Because of the exceptional admission and lagging ability, Shirley had been studying very hard and indeed did not have the energy to be distracted by her relationship. And for some reason, she had never been attracted to non-Asians.

During her university days, Mother Xuan appeared more often. Xue Li gradually learned that Mother Xuan secretly controlled countless American giants. As Cher grew up, it became more and more awkward to call the girl in red 'mom', so it didn't take long for Cher to call her' boss'.

Once, when Shirley was having dinner with her boss, she asked,""Boss, am I considered a qualified saintess now? What should I do?"

"When the heavens fall, we will become a community. Our mission is to seek the path, transcend the world, and defeat the heavens.”The girl in red looked out the window at the bustling buildings in Manhattan.
