As the saying goes, enemies meet on a narrow road.
At night, after school, Ji Yuanyuan bumped into Shao Xue at the school gate.
The slightly fatter girl glared at Ji Yuanyuan before leaving.
Ji Ziâang was so angry that he kept glaring at her. She had already walked far away, yet he was still glaring at her.
Ji Zixuan noticed that something was wrong and followed his gaze. His expression immediately turned cold.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly tugged at the corner of his shirt. Ji Ziâang snapped out of his daze and pushed his bicycle to catch up with Ji Zixuan, âBig Brother, letâs go home. Iâm hungry.â
Ji Zixuan nodded and hopped onto his bicycle. He instructed Ji Yuanyuan, âCome here, Iâll give you a ride!â
Ji Yuanyuan quickly went forward and sat in the backseat.
He then looked at Ji Ziâang, âYouâre going to take the college entrance exam next year. Donât think about anything else and focus on your studies.â
After saying that, he pedaled his bicycle and dashed out.
Ji Ziâang stood rooted to the spot, stunned.
What did Big Brother mean ?
Could it be that he misunderstood he was looking at Shao Xue because he liked her, that little delinquent?
Thinking of this, he quickly chased after him, âBrother, youâre insulting my taste.â
Ji Zixuan did not want to listen to Ji Ziâangâs nonsense. Even though he was carrying Ji Yuanyuan, Ji Ziâang still fall far behind him.
For the next two days, Ji Yuanyuan was really on tenterhooks.
Firstly, she was afraid Ji Ziâang would accidentally spill the beans at home.
Secondly, she was afraid Shao Xue would come looking for trouble again.
Of course, she was not afraid of Shao Xue, but of trouble.
Fortunately, nothing happened when she was worried. Ji Yuanyuan had a few days of peace.
In the living room of the Qin family in B City, the family of four sat on the sofa in silence.
In the end, it was Qin Junshan who spoke first to smooth things over.
âItâs fine if he doesnât want to go abroad. B University and Hua University are doing well nowâ¦â
Cheng Shuqin rubbed her temples, âThese two schools were very good, but in terms of his future major, Harvard University ranked higher.â
Qin Junshan was a little unhappy when he heard his Saughter-in-law say this, âItâs precisely because the universities in our country are still inferior to those in other countries that talents like Mucheng canât go abroad. If everyone went overseas, how would the universities in the country recruit talents and improve?â
âThen have you heard of a saying?â Cheng Shuqin asked faintly. âTo learn from the barbarians to control them? Itâs not like our Mucheng is not coming back. Itâs good that he can learn their knowledge and come back to strengthen our motherland!â
Qin Junshan was speechless by his Daughter-in-lawâs words. He immediately stood up and said awkwardly, âYou guys decide. I was just saying.â
Cheng Shuqin felt a headache coming on, âFather, I didnât mean to say anything. What are you doing? â
âFather, donât add to the trouble.â Qin Haowen said.
Qin Junshan sighed and strolled into the courtyard. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He sat on the chair and looked at the fish in the pond. He whispered, âIf 1 had known earlier, I wouldnât have come back. Itâs uncomfortable to be controlled everywhereâ¦â
Xiao Qi, the nanny, came out to give him a coat. When she heard this, she couldnât help but laugh, âItâs good that someone cares about you. Sir and Madam only control you because they care about you!â
Qin Junshan didnât say anything and turned around to take a look.
Qin Mucheng sat on the sofa with his back straight and his head lowered.
Qin Junshan quickly retracted his gaze, afraid he would feel more heartache if he looked at him again.
âI canât even put in a good word for my grandson. Really nowâ¦â
âDidnât you agree to it some time ago?â Cheng Shuqin asked in the living room. âWhat was the reason? Why do you suddenly not want to go?â
Actually, the couple had been planning for him to go abroad for a long time.
Qin Mucheng also started learning English when he was young.
During the summer break at the end of their first year of high school, they tried to ask Mucheng about his thoughts. At that time, Mucheng had agreed to it.
All along, he had been working hard in that direction.
Why did he suddenly not want to go?
âI just donât want to go. Thereâs no reason.â
Qin Mucheng lowered his head, but his tone was very firm.
Cheng Shuqin understood her son. Once he made up his mind, he would not change it.
âYou have to tell your Father and me what this is about, right?â Cheng Shuqin tried her best to sound gentle.
âYour Father and I arenât forcing you to go out. Itâs just that weâve worked hard for so long. You have to tell us why youâre not going, you canât just not go because you say so.â
âOur family has always been very democratic,â Qin Haowen chimed in. âWhatever you want, whatever you want to do, as long as itâs reasonable, your mother and I will rarely stop you. Itâs the same this time. Tell us whatâs the reason. If itâs reasonable, we will agree.â
Qin Mucheng suddenly stood up, âThereâs no reason. I just donât want to go anymore. I will be responsible for my future. I believe that with my ability, it will be the same whether it is in China or abroad.â
With that, Qin Mucheng turned around and went upstairs.
Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen looked at each other, frowning.
âHe obviously has something on his mind. Whatâs wrong? What happened recently?â Cheng Shuqin whispered to Qin Haowen.
âHow would I know?â Qin Haowen shook his head.
âYouâre always busy with that lousy company of yours. You donât even care about your son.â Cheng Shuqin mumbled.
Qin Haowen didnât dare to retort. Donât you also didnât know?
âThen what should we do? We had already prepared for such a long time. He couldnât really not go, right? Even if he didnât want to go, we have to know the reason.â Cheng Shuqin said worriedly.
There was no one around him who could talk to him.
Qin Haowen hesitated for a moment before tugging at Cheng Shuqinâs sleeve and whispering, âItâs not like thereâs no way to get the truth out of our son.â Hearing this, Cheng Shuqinâs eyes lit up, âOh? What is it?â
Qin Haowen moved closer to Cheng Shuqinâs ear and whispered, âThereâs someone who can definitely make your son tell the truth.â
Just as Qin Haowen finished speaking, Cheng Shuqin reacted.
âYou meanâ¦â Cheng Shuqin looked at Qin Haowen and asked uncertainly, âAre you sure that our son is willing to tell her the truth?â
âIf she canât even get our son to tell the truth, then thereâs nothing we can do.â Qin Haowen shrugged.â
âIâll call Li Xu and her now.â Cheng Shuqin stood up immediately.
It was just after dinner time. Cheng Shuqin had just called and Li Xu picked up.
After hearing Cheng Shuqinâs words, Li Xu was a little surprised, âWhat is it? Not going? Why isnât he going?â
Cheng Shuqin sighed, âThatâs right. We donât know why either! We are thinking that Yuanyuan had a good relationship with Mucheng and wanted her to get some information from him..â
