Wang Xinghe, who grew up in an orphanage after being abandoned by his mother, sees his life take a turn?
What?! His mother married into a wealthy family? He suddenly gained four stepsisters?<...
"It's okay if you don't do well on the test. After all, you've just arrived in Kyoto. Your grades might be pretty good in Ningjiang, but Kyoto is full of hidden talents, and there are even more amazing people there."
"But big sister, I got first place in the grade."
"How many? First in the grade? Send me a copy of your grades." Su Muqing was also a little shocked. She asked Wang Xinghe to send her the grades and put down her chopsticks.
Wang Xinghe picked up his phone and sent the report card from the class group to Su Muqing. Su Muqing was somewhat surprised when she saw that Wang Xinghe was in first place.
"735 points? You're such a good student?"
"Big sister, it's alright. I feel like I could have gotten a little higher. I was lucky this time because I got the bonus question at the end of the math exam right."
"Your second sister keeps asking me to send her her grades, but is it even necessary?"
I lost 15 points in total across six subjects. What's the difference between that and a perfect score?
"Well then, since you did so well on the test this time, you should definitely go out and have fun tomorrow. Where do you want to go? I'll take you there as a reward."
"Big sister, I think I'll stay home and study. I accepted a challenge today, and I can't lose."
Wang Xinghe is very dedicated to his work; whatever he promises, he will give it his all.
"A challenge? What's going on?"
So Wang Xinghe told Su Muqing everything that had happened that day.
"I'll call Principal Wang right now and ask what's going on."
"Big sister, it's okay, I'm fine. But I can't lose this challenge. I want to be number one in the grade next time!"
"Yes, I believe you. Let's eat."
Wang Xinghe nodded and began to eat.
After finishing her meal, Su Muqing went to her study.
After arriving at the study, Su Muqing still called Principal Wang.
"Principal Wang, are you aware of what happened today?"
"President Su, are you referring to Xinghe? Yes, of course I know," Principal Wang said with a fawning smile.
"So, have you taken any measures? This is the first and last time. If there's a next time, you know what will happen at next year's school board meeting," Su Muqing said calmly.
"Understood, understood, President Su. Actually, we have already taken measures, but as you know, this rumor is quite difficult to control." Principal Wang was sweating profusely on the other end of the phone.
“I know, I don’t want to hear this rumor again when Xinghe goes to school next Monday. I will continue to follow up on this matter.”
"Okay, Mr. Su, I will come up with a solution as soon as possible."
"Okay, that's settled."
After saying that, Su Muqing hung up the phone and then called Su Zhilan.
"Zhilan, are you busy?"
"Big sister, has Xinghe's result come out yet?"
"Yes, you did well on the test."
How many points did you get?
"735, first in the grade."
"How much? 735? Xinghe is that good at studying?!" Su Zhilan's voice was noticeably louder.
"Yes, do you think he needs tutoring with these grades?"
"Does this grade require tutoring?"
"But Xinghe said he wants to learn math olympiad. Do you think we could find a math olympiad tutor, one-on-one, at Kyoto University?"
"Want to learn math olympiad? That's easy. I'll arrange it in the next couple of days. I happen to know a student from our school's math department. She's really good; she just won a gold medal in the math olympiad. Let me see if I can arrange it for her."
"Zhilan, then you'd better take care of things."
"Don't worry, this is also my younger brother. But are you getting used to staying at your younger brother's house? I heard that once you stay, you don't want to leave."
"I was keeping my little brother company, okay? He must be so lonely living here all by himself. Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore."
"However, my little brother is quite capable, he was able to cure your anorexia. After I'm done with this busy period, I'm going home to see him."
"Okay, I have to go to the meeting now, that's all for now."
"Okay, sis, I have to go now. I have a project to work on, and I'm working overtime every day. My skin is so tired~"
"I have a few skincare products here, they work quite well, I'll send you one."
Wow! Big sister, you're the one who loves me the most!
"I'm afraid you'll age too quickly and no one will want you then."
"Sister, there's no need for us to continue this conversation; it's too painful."
Hearing Su Zhilan's words, Su Muqing's lips curled into a slight smile.
The next day, even though it was the weekend, Wang Xinghe still got up early and, without fail, memorized his lessons and did practice problems. And Su Muqing really didn't go to the company to work overtime today.
"Big sister, you're awake."
"You still get up so early."
"Yes, big sister, I'm used to it. Are you hungry? I'll go make you breakfast now."
"No need, let's go out to eat. I'll have the driver pick us up."
"Big sister, eating out is too much trouble. I'll just make something quick and easy."
Wang Xinghe opened the refrigerator and quickly started making breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, Wang Xinghe went back to studying, while Su Muqing went out.
Around noon, Su Muqing returned, followed by two nannies.
"Put the ingredients in the kitchen and start cooking."
"It's the young lady."
Hearing the commotion, Wang Xinghe came out of the bedroom.
"Big sister, what's wrong?"
"I just went home and brought back two nannies. Let's have hot pot to treat you to something nice."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Wang Xinghe was touched. He hadn't expected his older sister to bring their housekeeper to cook hot pot for him.
"Alright, go play for a while. It might take a little longer to finish. Take a break. Have you been studying all morning?"
"Mmm, it's okay, big sister, I'm not tired."
Wang Xinghe ate a lot of hot pot for lunch. Hot pot has a unique meaning for him. When he was in the welfare home, he could only eat hot pot during the Spring Festival. At that time, all the people in the welfare home would gather together to eat hot pot.
Of course, eating hot pot here is not as rudimentary as it was in the orphanage, but Wang Xinghe has a special affection for hot pot.
"Is it delicious, Xinghe?"
"Mmm, big sister, it's delicious."
"I'll take you to a famous hot pot restaurant in Kyoto another day. There are many traditional hot pot restaurants in Kyoto that do a very good job."
"Big sister, thank you, you're so kind to me."
“You said it yourself, I’m your older sister. Now that Aunt Li has gone on her honeymoon with my dad, she’s entrusted you to me, so of course I have to take good care of you.”
“Yesterday I told your second sister about your grades, and she said she would arrange a one-on-one math tutor for you to teach you math.”
"Won't that be very expensive?"
"Little brother, do you know what our family has in abundance?"
"What?"
