Chapter 147: Entrance Exam Banquet (Page 1/2)
Her first choice was to study law at Tsinghua University.
Although everyone knew that the change was not serious, everyone in the family was very excited when they actually received the admission letter.
After receiving the notice, Jiang Qiqi went back to school.
The city and the school gave Jiang Qiqi a lot of rewards. The scholarships at all levels alone added up to 360,000 yuan!
No. 1 Middle School alone allocated an 80,000 yuan scholarship to Jiang Qiqi.
Chen Baomei was stunned when she heard this number.
"The school and the government are so generous, giving such a huge bonus!"
Chen Ru: "It has always been like this. In previous years, children who have made outstanding achievements have also been rewarded. This year, our city's top scorer in liberal arts ranked higher than Qiqi, and received a bonus of tens of thousands more than Qiqi."
The child's college entrance examination score ranked second in the province, higher than Kiki's, so the reward he received was correspondingly larger.
"That's amazing! Qiqi won't have to worry about tuition and living expenses for the next four years."
Chen Ru: "Her father and I are still here, so we will naturally pay for her living expenses and tuition. I plan to add a little more to this money to buy her a house."
Chen Baomei: "If we buy it so early, what if she stays in the capital to work and doesn't come back? Wouldn't it be a waste? Why don't you talk to Jiang Tianming and ask him to contribute some money to buy Qiqi a small house in the capital."
"House prices in the capital are rising faster than here. If my children stay in the capital, they'll have a house to live in. If they don't, they can still make a lot of money selling it."
The housing prices in the capital are much more stable than those in Yangcheng City. Chen Baomei thinks it is better to buy a house there.
If Kiki stays in the capital in the future, the price of a house she buys then will be too outrageous.
Buying a house now will not be a loss in the future no matter what.
And I could take this opportunity to get some money from Jiang Tianming to give to Qiqi.
The two houses that Chen Ru bought with Chen Baomei before have increased in value a lot. Shen Ru is also optimistic about the future, especially in a place like the capital where every inch of land is valuable.
Shen Ru was indeed a little tempted, "Then I'll think about it."
After receiving the admission letter, Shen Ru started preparing a graduation banquet for her child.
All those invited were Shen Ru's close relatives and friends. Thinking of the relationship between her mother and Shen Qin, Shen Ru was a little hesitant about whether to invite Shen Qin over.
After much thought, Shen Ru decided to ask Chen Baomei for her opinion.
"Mom, I want to invite Shen Qin, Uncle Qiqi, do you mind?"
Chen Baomei didn't care. "It's up to you. If you want to treat me, then treat me. If you don't want to treat me, then don't treat me. This is a graduation party for Qiqi. Don't worry about me."
She planned to never have anything to do with this son again, but he was Shen Ru's younger brother. She had no control over how they interacted with each other and would not interfere.
"Okay, then I'll call him."
Shen Qin was very happy when he received a call from his eldest sister asking him to attend his niece's graduation party. Jiang Qiqi was admitted to Tsinghua University, and he, as her uncle, was also proud.
All parents like their children to associate with students with good grades, and Shen Qin is no exception.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Wu Wenwan and told her that he would take Wu Hui to attend his cousin's graduation banquet.
When Wu Wenwan learned that Shen Ru's daughter was admitted to Tsinghua University, she was so jealous that her teeth were about to break.
Her former sister-in-law was really lucky. Not only did she get a large amount of property after the divorce, but she also set up a tutoring institution and made it very successful. Now her daughter has been admitted to one of the top universities.
She really gets all the good things.
Before they broke up, they could still save face, but now that they have broken up, and Chen Ru is kissing Chen Baomei again, Wu Wenwan naturally doesn't want the other party to have an easy life.
"Huihui has tutoring classes to attend, so she won't go."
Shen Qin: "It's only one afternoon, it won't waste that little time. His cousin has good grades, so it's good for Huihui to spend some time with his cousin. His cousin is on summer vacation now, so she can give him some pointers."
"What are you giving me advice on? If you want to go, go by yourself. Our Huihui won't go." Wu Wenwan hung up the phone angrily.
Shen Qin felt helpless about his ex-wife who suddenly became angry.
However, he did not give up the idea of taking Wu Hui with him. Jiang Qiqi was his niece. If his niece had a promising future, it would be better for her to help Wu Hui in the future.
If you don’t even attend your cousin’s graduation party, how can you talk about cultivating a sibling relationship?
So, on the day of the graduation banquet, Shen Qin took the initiative to pick up Wu Hui from the tutoring class.
Jiang Qiqi's graduation banquet was held in a hotel. In addition to relatives and friends, Jiang Qiqi's teachers and good classmates were also invited.
Chen Yin, who was far away in Shanghai, also took a leave of absence and rushed back to have this meal.
Chen Baomei, her grandparents, Shen Yin, Shen Rui's family of three, and Shen Qin and his son sat at the same table.
Chen Ru, Jiang Tianming and Jiang Qiqi were waiting at the door to welcome the guests. They only took their seats when most of the guests had arrived.
Just as the cold dishes arrived, an old lady's sharp and shrill voice was heard at the door of the small hall.
"Wow, the feast has already started even though I, a grandmother, haven't even arrived yet!"
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Old Mrs. Jiang who had come, holding her eldest grandson Jiang Youzu in her arms.
Shen Ru glared at Jiang Tianming.
Jiang Tianming quickly stood up and said, "Mom, why are you here? Didn't you say you were not feeling well and asked you to rest at home?"
Shen Ru followed him and pinched Jiang Tianming hard.
He asked in a low voice: "Didn't I tell her not to come? What are you doing?"
She had originally planned to have each family host their own graduation banquet, but Jiang Tianming had come to her and begged her, saying it would be awkward to host it separately and that it would be embarrassing for Qiqi if others asked about it. Jiang Tianming then asked his daughter to act as a lobbyist, and seeing that his daughter agreed, Shen Ru had no choice but to compromise.
However, her only request was that Old Lady Jiang and her precious life force should not be allowed to come. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianming could not even fulfill this simple request.
Jiang Tianming gasped in pain.
"How should I know? I didn't even tell her. Who knows where she got it from?"
Old Mrs. Jiang said in a dissatisfied tone: "I am not feeling well. Today is my eldest granddaughter's day. Why can't I come?"
Now that everyone is here, it is impossible to drive Old Mrs. Jiang away in front of everyone.
But the seats are fixed, so it becomes a problem to arrange her at which table.
At this time, Chen Baomei stood up and asked the waiter to add two seats at their table.
"Let her sit with us."
Old Mrs. Jiang was making a fuss and wanted to sit at the same table with Chen Ru, Jiang Qiqi and the others, but was warned by Jiang Tianming. Then she cursed and sat next to Chen Baomei with her child.
Sit down again and start the meal.
Exquisite and expensive dishes were served one after another: charcoal-grilled king crab, deep-sea yellow croaker with scallion oil, beef ribs grilled on fruit wood charcoal, steamed river eel with dried bamboo shoots, and large lobster with scallion oil...
When Mrs. Jiang saw these dishes, her eyes turned red.
Grandma Jiang felt depressed when she thought that her lovely grandson could only stay in a small rental house and eat coarse food.
"She's just a silly little girl, and she invited people to dinner, and she even ordered so many delicious dishes!"
"Grandma, I want to eat."
Jiang Youzu, who was held in the arms of Old Mrs. Jiang, reached out and grabbed the big lobster in front of him.
Chen Baomei stretched out her chopsticks and slapped Jiang Youzu's fat paws.
