Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 305 I Only Treat You as My Sister (23)
Lian Chengze added fuel to the fire and exaggerated the incident by accusing Lian Shangrui harshly. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lian Shangrui, who was almost ten years older than him, still complaining to his father. It was obvious that he was very familiar with this kind of thing. He didn't feel any shame and was proud of it. Of course, he kept doing it because complaining was useful.
Lian's father was really furious. He immediately believed Lian Chengze's words. Without even investigating, he immediately cut off Lian Shangrui's financial support. He also called him and scolded him severely, telling him to stay away from home and not to embarrass himself!
Obviously, the father's focus was to prevent Lian Shangrui from embarrassing himself, and his eldest son's complaint probably just gave him an excuse to scold Lian Shangrui.
When Lian Shangrui heard Lian's father scolding him, he immediately threw his cell phone into an empty room, then went to the studio and immersed himself in the words. Lian's father had no idea of this. He thought that although Lian Shangrui didn't say anything, he was listening the whole time. He had no idea that Lian Shangrui wanted him to curse at the air.
The old housekeeper heard Lian's father's angry curses coming from the cell phone in the empty room. He stood outside the door and listened for a while, then left as if he didn't know.
Lian's father cut off Lian Shangrui's financial support, but Lian Shangrui was not short of money. He participated in a well-known domestic art competition last time and won a prize. He was also invited to participate in several art exhibitions. He gradually became famous and became a young talented painter. His paintings could be sold at a good price.
Of course, these were all handled by the old butler, and he himself did not show up, so people outside only knew his age and name, and did not know what he looked like or where he came from, so he seemed very mysterious.
In this art circle, the more mysterious something is, the easier it is to arouse other people's interest and be sought after. In addition, there are very few paintings by Lian Shangrui in the world, making them even rarer.
So even if Lian's father cut off Lian Shangrui's living expenses, Lian Shangrui was not affected at all.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the college entrance examination. Lin Shichu entered the examination room without any nervousness and finished the test questions as easily as usual. Two days later, she finally finished the college entrance examination.
After the exam, it was time to estimate the scores and fill in the application forms. Lin's father and mother finally focused their attention on Lin Shichu, asking her repeatedly how she did, how many points she had, and what application forms she should fill in.
"My dear daughter, just listen to your father and choose medical major. It will be easier for you to find a job after graduation, and being a doctor will also make it more convenient for your family to see a doctor. How great is that?" Father Lin suggested.
"No, if you ask me, it's better for girls to be teachers. It's a stable job, the work is easy, and you only need to take care of the children. There are winter and summer vacations, and you can help Congcong with his homework in the future, which can save a lot of tuition fees. And it's easy to find a partner. I don't know how many men look for teachers as wives..." Lin's mother thinks that it is popular to enroll in a teaching major.
They argued until their faces turned red, and everyone thought that their proposal was the best, but no one asked Lin Shichu about his own wishes. They took it for granted and believed that as parents, they could decide their children's future.
Lin Shichu listened to them perfunctorily, but she had already decided in her heart that she would not follow their advice. She had already mastered both Chinese and Western medicine, so she did not want to repeat the same studies in this life. As for applying for a teacher training program to become a teacher? Unfortunately, she had a bad temper. If she met with naughty children, she might become a vicious teacher who could not help but punish them, misleading the students and destroying the flowers of the motherland. That would be bad. She was very self-aware.
"Hey, Mom and Dad, one of you wants me to study medicine and the other wants me to be a teacher, but I can only choose one major. Which one is the best? You can discuss it carefully and tell me when you have a result, how about it?" In order to prevent them from bothering her anymore, Lin Shichu took the opportunity to let the two of them argue out the result first.
Sure enough, the couple fell into the trap. They both thought that their suggestions were the most correct, so they refused to give up and put forward a lot of reasons to try to convince the other party. As a result, they became more and more angry and unconvinced. In the end, the topic had changed from what Lin Shichu should fill in for his application to the couple attacking each other, bringing up old issues, cursing... they had long forgotten their original intention.
Lin Shichu took the opportunity to get away, and she ran to play with Qian Qingqing, and asked her what major she wanted to choose.
"At first, I wanted to be a lawyer. I thought female lawyers were cool and could uphold justice, punish evil and promote good, so I decided to major in law." Qian Qingqing had a clear goal, and her family supported her choice and did not interfere with her.
"What about you? Shichu, what do you want to do in the future?" Qian Qingqing finished speaking about her ideals in a high-spirited manner and then asked Lin Shichu.
Lin Shichu said: "I applied for the geological engineering major. It would be nice to be a geologist."
Qian Qingqing was confused after hearing her answer: "Geological engineering, this major is not very popular, right? What does it do? Looking for oil? Mining?"
Lin Shichu couldn't help laughing and said, "It has something to do with finding oil and mining. After all, it studies the relationship between human engineering activities and the geological environment. This scope is very large."
Qian Qingqing's eyes were full of confusion, and she obviously didn't quite understand what he was saying, but she still looked at Lin Shichu with admiration and said, "Wow, Shichu, your major sounds amazing. If you master it, wouldn't you really know everything about astronomy and geography?"
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated." Lin Shichu couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, I heard that Meng Shiyang didn't do well in the exam. I heard from his classmates who took the same exam room that when Meng Shiyang came out of the exam, his face looked very ugly. He was met by the head teacher at the school gate and asked him a few questions, but he ignored the head teacher and left, as if he was running away." Qian Qingqing suddenly mentioned Meng Shiyang.
Lin Shichu almost forgot about him. After all, Meng Shiyang hardly showed up at school in the last semester. The head teacher said that he was reviewing at home, but it was obvious how effective reviewing at home would be. What's more, there was a bedridden patient at home who couldn't take care of himself and needed his care everywhere. It would be strange if he could study with peace of mind.
So she would not be surprised at all if Meng Shiyang failed the exam. A person's life circumstances could be a little different if they took a slight turn. His fate would never be the same again and could go against his original destiny at any time.
This is what happened to Meng Shiyang. Without the original owner, the silly free babysitter who made him worry-free, his grades declined, he did not do well in the college entrance examination, and he certainly could not be admitted to the famous university that was originally destined for him. It was impossible for him to meet his true love, the daughter of a wealthy family.
But he was not miserable enough and could not repay the debt he owed to the original owner.
If Lin Shichu didn't want to dirty her hands, she could have broken Meng Shiyang's hand and prevented him from taking the college entrance examination, but she couldn't do that, so she had to let Meng Shiyang survive for a while longer.
