Xu Chunmai knew that Su Jie didn't believe in these things.

In fact, she is trying her best to catch up with Fu Linchuan.

She trusted Fu Linchuan, but she didn't want to burden him because of herself.

Therefore, she needs to strive to become better.

In her view, her attempt to speculate about Fu Linchuan was an insult to him.

He is Fu Linchuan, the most charming and reliable man.

After leaving the noodle shop, Fu Linchuan took Xu Chunmai's hand and asked, "What did you and Boss Su talk about?"

Xu Chunmai raised her head, smiling brightly, "Talking about you is great, talking about... I really like you."

Fu Linchuan was quite pleased. "Then tonight you have to let me know exactly how you like it."

Xu Chunmai's pretty face instantly turned red. "Oh dear, I'm not talking to you anymore."

The next day, Fu Linchuan, Xu Chunmai, along with Le An and Shu Ning, Fu Qiming, Shen Jinshu, and bodyguard Pan Yong, boarded a train bound for Kyoto.

Fu Tongyuan had already had the housekeeper tidy up the house and was just waiting for them to come home.

Fu Qiming hadn't originally told Fu Qifeng that they were coming back at this time.

However, Fu Qifeng had heard about when Tsinghua and Peking Universities would start their semesters.

Moreover, autumn is approaching, and Fu Qiming and the others cannot stay in Xuancheng indefinitely.

He hadn't heard any news about Fu Linchuan getting into Tsinghua or Peking University, so he was just waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

So as soon as Fu Tongyuan asked the housekeeper to tidy up the house, Fu Zhenghui and the others knew.

Fu Qiming and the others are coming back.

To this day, Fu Qifeng and Fu Zhenghui have not heard of any university that Fu Linchuan has been admitted to.

This means that Fu Linchuan definitely failed the exam.

For them, there was no better spectacle to watch.

While Fu Linchuan and the others were still on the train, Fu Zhenghui was delivering goods to the military region's family compound. He made a special trip to the door of several of Fu Qiming's old comrades-in-arms.

Fu Zhenghui is Fu Qiming's nephew; some people do know him.

Fu Zhenghui greeted them warmly and started chatting about the newly reunited Fu Tongzhou family.

"Old Chief, my second uncle and his family have really done something remarkable this time. One of the grandsons my second uncle recently adopted is my nephew, Fu Linchuan, who applied to Tsinghua and Peking Universities this year."

The veteran leaders of the military region were all surprised when they heard this.

Zhang Zhen exclaimed, "Old Fu is truly remarkable. His grandson actually got into Tsinghua and Peking University. He's a role model for all of us."

"This old Fu, he didn't even tell me about such a big thing, he kept it all a secret," Fan Zezhong said.

Zhang Zhen laughed and said, "I'm afraid he'll come back and show off to us in person."

Fu Zhenghui said, "Old Chief, it seems my second uncle will be back tomorrow. You can go ask him later. I haven't found out the details yet, but I know my nephew applied to Tsinghua and Peking Universities."

Fan Zezhong sized up Fu Zhenghui and said, "Zhenghui, don't say everything outside. Your second uncle is lenient with you. If my nephew were like you, I would beat him eight times a day."

With that, Fan Zezhong and Zhang Zhen left.

Fu Zhenghui was met with a rebuff.

These old men are all very stubborn.

However, Fu Zhenghui didn't care, since these old men didn't like him anyway.

His main purpose wasn't to make Zhang Zhen and the others look at him favorably; rather, he needed to let everyone know that Fu Qiming's grandson was so arrogant that he actually applied to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

Now that he's failed the exam, it's utterly absurd.

Zhang Zhen and the others will definitely ask Fu Qiming whether Fu Linchuan passed the exam. When Fu Qiming loses face, he will look down on Fu Linchuan.

Thinking of this, Fu Zhenghui became happy again.

When Fu Linchuan and his group got off the train, Fu Tongyuan was already waiting outside to greet them.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and everyone was quite familiar with the place when they visited the courtyard house this time.

Fu Linchuan and his group arrived at noon, and early the next morning, the courtyard welcomed several of Fu Qiming's old comrades-in-arms.

Fu Qiming smiled as soon as he saw the person.

“You guys have noses that are sharper than dogs. I just got back and you came here to kill me.”

Zhang Zhen laughed and said, "You must have keen insight, otherwise how can you catch Old Fu?"

Fan Zezhong said, "So you went straight to Xuancheng to enjoy yourself, leaving us old brothers here. You've had your fun?"

Fu Qiming was overjoyed, and looked refreshed and radiant.

Zhao Lei chimed in, "See? Old Fu looks so much younger."

Fu Qiming laughed heartily, "Of course, I'm happy every day, isn't that what youth is all about?"

As they were talking, a little girl came running towards Fu Qiming, all smiles and wobbling.

Zhang Zhen and the others were completely stunned.

The little girl seemed to have trouble walking, and every step she took looked like she was about to fall.

She just stared at Fu Qiming with bright, sparkling eyes.

Fu Qiming squatted down and opened his arms, "Oh, my great-grandfather's little Le'an."

Xiao Le'an nestled into Fu Qiming's arms, kissed his cheek, and giggled.

Zhang Zhen opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Fan Zezhong narrowed his eyes. "Hey Lao Fu, you...you're actually holding a child? And this little girl isn't afraid of you?"

Fu Qiming picked up Xiao Le'an and said, "Old Fan, what are you saying? She's my great-granddaughter. I love her so much, how could she be afraid of me?"

Zhao Lei came to his senses and asked, "Old Fu, this is...this is your great-granddaughter?"

“Yes, she is Tongzhou’s granddaughter,” Fu Qiming said.

Zhang Zhen asked, "Is this baby at least one year old?"

"My first birthday is the day after tomorrow," Fu Qiming said frankly.

Fan Zezhong exclaimed, "Wow, this little girl is really strong; she can already walk just after turning one year old."

Fu Qiming was very proud of himself, "Our Le'an is amazing."

Xiao Le'an received the praise and then stuck a kiss on Fu Qiming's cheek.

This made Fu Qiming extremely happy.

Shen Jinshu urged everyone to sit down quickly, and the nanny brought over some tea.

As soon as everyone sat down, Xiao Le'an wobbled back and forth in front of the old men.

One minute they'd tug at this old man's beard, the next they'd touch that old man's ear.

The old men burst into laughter.

The entire living room was filled with laughter.

"It's really lively today."

Fu Qifeng's voice came in, and Fu Qiming looked up to see Fu Qifeng standing at the door, leaning on his cane and bending over with a smile.

Fu Zhenghui was supporting him.

Fu Qiming stood up. "Big brother is here. Please sit down."

Fu Qiming's old comrades-in-arms also knew Fu Qifeng, and after exchanging greetings, they started chatting again.

As soon as Fu Qifeng sat down, Xiao Le'an snuggled back into Fu Qiming's arms, sitting directly on her great-grandfather's lap, shaking a rattle in her hand.

Fu Qifeng asked about other things, and then turned the topic to Fu Linchuan's application to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

"Qiming, what about Dachuan? Didn't he say he applied to Tsinghua and Peking Universities this time? I heard that Tsinghua and Peking Universities start classes on the 5th."
