The biggest conflict between Zhou Jiaqi and Hanhan was over the issue of choosing between arts and science classes in high school.
Jiang Tong and Zhou Yuansheng could both sense the tense atmosphere among the children. During dinner that day, they kept glancing at one child and then at the other.
The parents couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Pei-Pei, on the other hand, ate heartily, taking a few bites here and a few bites there. As a high school student, Jiang Pei-Ci's features had fully developed, and she had become even more beautiful.
She watched the show quietly.
Raise an eyebrow every now and then.
Jiang Tong looked at her eldest daughter, whose face was cold, and then at her son, whose face was equally tense.
I couldn't help but sigh.
The kids have all grown up. It's quite intimidating to have them all gathered around the table, especially Jiaqi, who has grown to 1.8 meters tall. They're all big kids now.
Jiang Tong tentatively asked, "Hmm, do you little ones have something bothering you?"
The child is growing up.
Even the occasional heart-to-heart talks during junior high school became much less frequent. The three of them could basically solve various problems on their own and rarely bothered their parents.
Peipei's side business is even thriving. It's said that she's made some investments and is earning more than Jiang Tong. She's only in her first year of high school, but she's already giving Jiang Tong pocket money, which has left Jiang Tong, her mother, a little confused.
It doesn't give me a sense of accomplishment.
Zhou Jiaqi and Hanhan, on the other hand, focused on their studies and didn't have as many ideas and hobbies as Peipei.
As Jiang Muhan grew up, she also learned to hide her feelings and was no longer as gentle as she was when she was a child, quietly sticking to Jiang Tong's side.
Jiang Tong also felt a sense of melancholy as her child grew up. Zhou Yuansheng patted her back with amusement. Although they had been married for many years, their relationship was still very good. It wasn't that no one was urging them to have another child.
However, after careful consideration, the couple decided not to have any more children. Their main concern was that they didn't have enough energy, and with four or five children, they were afraid they would neglect their three little ones.
I also felt it was unnecessary.
Jiang Tong's stubborn parents' relatives even said that they couldn't do without a child of their own, fearing it would affect their relationship.
But this statement is obviously too absolute.
Jiang Tong and Zhou Yuansheng don't believe that having a child with each other's blood will make them immortal, nor do they rely on this to maintain their relationship.
Or perhaps they're biased towards the three kids, and genuinely don't want to neglect them because of the newborn.
Of course, some people also mocked Jiang Tong, saying that even if she marries into a wealthy family, so what? He still wants to pass the family business on to his biological son. Hanhan and Peipei are not Zhou Yuansheng's biological children, and at most they will get a little bit of trash as dowry.
However, Jiang Tong just smiled and let it go. Not to mention that Zhou Yuansheng gave her a large portion of his assets and continued to add various assets to her name every year to give her a sense of security, Hanhan and Peipei also enjoy the same benefits as Zhou Jiaqi.
Zhou Yuansheng and Jiang Tong had already distributed the inheritance in advance. The three children would each receive an equal share, and arrangements had also been made for their parents. All three children were treated equally, and the two of them really tried their best to treat them fairly.
As for the Zhou family's inheritance and shares, Zhou Jiaqi, as the eldest grandson, will definitely receive the vast majority. When Zhou Yuansheng's grandparents passed away one after another, Hanhan and Peipei also received a portion.
It can be said that the Zhou family also takes Hanhan and Peipei seriously. Although they are not related by blood, their feelings for each other over the years are genuine.
Blood ties are very important.
But it's not absolute.
Zhou Yuansheng treats his two daughters as his own. Hanhan and Peipei bring him many healing moments, making him feel that having daughters is really great!
His agency will probably be passed on to Peipei in the future.
Although Zhou Yuansheng and Jiang Tong look very young and don't appear old, they are eventually getting older. Last time, Zhou Yuansheng was sick but still worked at the company. Peipei seems carefree, but last time she was able to help him manage things. She is really smart and capable.
As for Zhou Jiaqi and Hanhan? Let's just forget about them; those two kids are focused on their studies.
This time, the two children quarreled again because of the class assignment. Hanhan felt that Zhou Jiaqi clearly preferred science and didn't need to follow her path. She already had her own dreams and wanted to pursue them firmly.
Zhou Jiaqi lacked companionship when he was young, and after meeting Hanhan, he clung to her every day. Now that they have to be separated, he really can't bear it.
He insisted on going to the humanities class with Hanhan, but Hanhan was unusually fierce towards him.
Jiang Tong looked at this and then that, but she was at a loss. Fortunately, Zhou Yuansheng was with her, smiling and telling her to relax. They had never interfered with the children's affairs over the years, and they could handle it themselves.
Peipei found it amusing. She took a couple of bites of rice and said, "I don't understand you two, especially Zhou Jiaqi. How old are you? Why do you still have to stick to my sister?"
She had barely uttered the words when...
Zhou Jiaqi blushed. He was such a tall young man, but his face looked completely harmless. His eyelashes were thick and black, and his blue eyes were really beautiful.
Every time Jiang Tong met his eyes, she couldn't help but soften. How could anyone be so cruel to such a cute and well-behaved child? Oh, there was one: Hanhan. She ate her meal properly, not giving him a single glance.
Zhou Jiaqi hung his head, looking like he had no appetite.
Jiang Tong tugged at Zhou Yuansheng's arm, turned her head and whispered in his ear, "Why do I have a feeling this time isn't so simple?"
Zhou Yuansheng looked at the boy and had a headache. He used to think that the boy was too clingy and not independent enough. Jiang Tong said it was okay, but now he was at a loss. He even teased him, "He's just too pretentious. Sending him abroad for two years of training will definitely cure him. It just depends on whether you can bear to do it."
Jiang Tong punched him lightly and glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can foreign countries be better than China? So many people are vying to study here now, do you still think it's like before? Besides, the food abroad is terrible."
She didn't believe he would be willing to do that.
Zhou Yuansheng thought about it and was really worried. He really couldn't bear to send his son to live abroad.
Ultimately, the two decided to wait and see how things went.
Not long after.
Zhou Jiaqi chose the science class, while Hanhan insisted on the humanities class.
The two children have started to be placed in different classes.
Zhou Jiaqi has a bit of separation anxiety, a problem he developed from being too clingy with Hanhan since he was little.
You always have to get used to it at first.
Jiang Muhan wasn't going to tolerate his bad habit; it seemed like she was going to teach him a lesson.
The atmosphere between the two children became somewhat awkward.
Jiang Tong and Zhou Yuansheng were unusually careless this time. After all, the three children had always maintained a delicate balance since they were little, so they, as parents, really didn't need to worry about it much. So, seeing that the two children seemed to have reached an agreement, they went back to doing their own things without a care in the world.
At most, when I get together with friends, I'll sigh and say that the kids have really grown up.
Qin Xiaohua laughed when she heard this, saying that the two of them were still quite close to their child, unlike her son, who became estranged from his parents after starting junior high school and barely spoke a few words to them for a month.
Jiang Tong and Zhou Yuansheng laughed.
