Chapter 358 You've found out quite a lot.

Seeing that Xie Qinglan was unwilling to discuss this topic, Professor Chen did not continue, but turned his attention to Huo Huaisui and asked him a few questions.

Huo Huai Sui was extremely nervous, but he answered all the questions one by one.

She doesn't like to use her brain, and she's never been this serious about exams in her life.

Xie Qinglan didn't interrupt, but watched quietly from the side, a smile in her eyes.

"Alright, stop talking and have some fruit." Professor Chen's wife came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of freshly cut fruit.

Huo Huai Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, there were no questions; I was almost scared to death.

Professor Chen suddenly asked, "Isn't it about time that Professor Xie retired?"

Mr. Xie had long passed retirement age, but he was later rehired by the school, so it can be said that he dedicated his life to education.

Speaking of which, Mr. Xie was Professor Chen's teacher.

Hsieh Ching-tang said, "This year."

Professor Chen smiled and said, "You should be able to get your professional title this year."

Huo Huaisui couldn't quite understand the conversation between the men, so he just quietly ate his fruit.

It was still early, so Professor Chen kept Xie Qingtang behind to play chess, while Xie Qinglan and Huo Huaisui left first.

Huo Huaisui was completely exhausted after leaving Professor Chen's house.

Xie Qinglan: "Is it that scary?"

Huo Huaisui said, "You don't understand. We academic underachievers are not afraid of anything, except our teachers."

She would tremble if the teacher even glanced at her.

Xie Qinglan needed to go back to his parents' staff apartment to get some things, and Huo Huaisui went with him.

There was a small study in that house, with bookshelves filled with all kinds of books and documents, including Chinese, English, French, German, Russian, Japanese and other languages. Huo Huaisui might not even recognize the titles of those books individually, let alone when they were put together.

In the past, when Huo Huaisui stayed overnight here, he would only stand outside the door and peek inside, but he never went in.

Huo Huaisui glanced at the books Xie Qinglan had taken down from the bookshelf and asked, "You can understand them all?"

Xie Qinglan: "I can't understand it completely. I need to look up some of the technical terms."

Huo Huaisui: "..."

Some technical terms need to be looked up; that's what makes a top student.

And for those who are academically weak, even if they use translation software to translate it into Chinese, they might not be able to understand it.

Huo Huaisui: "Niannian said that your family members can speak many languages?"

Xie Qinglan: "Not everyone can do it. My grandparents only knew one language, English."

Huo Huaisui: "And you?"

Xie Qinglan smiled. "What do you want to hear?"

She already knows English, so she definitely doesn't want to listen. Huo Huai Sui's eyes darted around slightly, "Japanese?"

“This language,” Xie Qinglan casually placed the rather thick book in her hand on the desk, “is better expressed in a different context.”

Huo Huaisui: "?"

Xie Qinglan suddenly leaned close to Huo Huaisui's ear and whispered something.

Huo Huaisui's mind raced for a moment.

She felt that this sentence sounded familiar, as if she had heard it before.

But soon she remembered where she had heard it before.

Although she is a woman, curiosity knows no gender. She knows quite a few teachers in certain fields who are both virtuous and talented, and while learning about those "teachers", she inevitably learns some vocabulary from them.

Especially after Xie Qinglan took her to another "place" and pulled her back to her room, her idea was further confirmed.

Huo Huai Sui asked, "...Aren't you afraid your parents will suddenly come back?"

Xie Qinglan: "My dad and my uncle went fishing, while my mom and mother-in-law went for afternoon tea to discuss the engagement banquet."

"..." You've found out quite a lot.

-

Ji Xueru said that the two younger generations didn't need to worry about the engagement banquet, and she really didn't let them worry about it. She would just call her future daughter-in-law occasionally to ask about her preferences.

The news that the Xie and Huo families were preparing to hold an engagement banquet spread quickly among the various families.

Huo Huai Sui had been publicly professing her love for Xie Qing Lan on social media for over two years, and their relationship had long been widely known. So, when people heard that the two were getting engaged, they weren't surprised at all. However, the older generation still considered it an arranged marriage.

Whether it's an arranged marriage or a free-choice relationship, it has nothing to do with them. If they're invited, they'll just take the time to show their support.

As the engagement date draws closer, more and more people are becoming envious of Huo Huaisui.

Huo Huaisui told her best friend about it.

Lu Fengqing disagreed: "People will only be jealous of you if you're doing well, and those who are jealous of you are usually not doing so well themselves."

Huo Huaisui thought that made sense.

It was the weekend, and Gu Suixing had to work overtime, while Rui Rui went to his maternal grandfather's place, so Lu Fengqing finally had time to go out and have a meal and go shopping with Huo Huaisui.

After ordering, the two handed the menu back to the waiter and continued their conversation.

Lu Fengqing: "How's your coffee shop doing?"

Huo Huai Sui said happily, "Not bad."

The thought that he was now a small business owner made Huo Huai Sui extremely happy.

Lu Fengqing sat opposite Huo Huaisui, sizing him up.

Her best friend used to live a rough life when she was alone, always doing whatever came to mind and lacking any sense of direction. But after she got together with Xie Qinglan, Xie Qinglan took care of her and made her become very refined.

There were indeed many rumors circulating outside, saying that Huo Huai Sui was not good enough for Xie Qing Lan, but Lu Feng Qing thought the two of them were quite a good match.

Huo Huai Sui has many quirky ideas, and Xie Qing Lan can play with her. At the same time, she is also independent, quiet, and doesn't make a fuss or act unreasonably. She can be affectionate when she wants to, but when Xie Qing Lan is busy, she goes out to play by herself and doesn't add trouble or pressure to Xie Qing Lan. The two are quite compatible.

"And you, Nian Nian?" Huo Huai Sui asked, "Are you planning to take over your father's company?"

Lu Fengqing has been working at Chaoxing for several years. Xie Chaoyin takes her everywhere he goes, as if he is grooming his daughter to be his successor. This has long been known in their circle.

Lu Fengqing: "I'd like to, but your fourth brother won't allow it."

She really wanted to experience what it was like to be a female CEO, but Gu Suixing refused no matter what she said, afraid that she was too busy and wouldn't have time for him and Rui Rui.

Huo Huaisui understood perfectly and said, "Fourth Brother can't bear to see you working so hard."

Lu Fengqing rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that she was also very tired and exhausted.

Rui Rui has grown up and is not as easy to fool as she was when she was little. The father and son are constantly outwitting each other, and neither of them is easy to deal with. She is almost exhausted just dealing with them every day.

Thankfully, she didn't have a second child, otherwise she suspected she would die young.

The two of them came to eat grilled fish today, and the waiter quickly brought out a whole plate of grilled fish.

The aroma filled the air, making Huo Huai Sui's stomach rumble.

After waiting for a few minutes until the fish was cooked, Huo Huai Sui couldn't wait to pick out a piece of fish and stuff it into his mouth.

Huo Huai Sui's face suddenly stiffened.

The next second, she spat out the fish in her mouth and let out a soft moan.

Lu Fengqing: "..."
