Mr. Su's face darkened. What kind of father and son are these, always complaining?
“Grandpa, my dad plays chess with his brain, but it’s different for a robot to play chess with you using a program. Besides, the machine’s calculation is very fast, it only takes 0.0001 seconds.”
"No wonder, I won't need to look for people to play chess with anymore. I need to earn points quickly."
The afternoon passed quickly.
It wasn't until Su Qingsheng and his family arrived that Old Su put down his phone, which was already getting quite hot.
"Mom and Dad, we're here." Su Qingsheng greeted his grandparents as soon as he saw them.
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma." Then he greeted his twins.
Su Qingsheng called Su Qinghai aside.
"Brother, call us over. You didn't say anything on the phone. I've already lost a business deal."
"It's alright, I'll make up the money for your deal."
"Big brother, how can you be so kind?"
"I'm telling you, Ya Ya has been accepted into Kyoto No. 1 High School."
"Really? With her grades like that..."
Su Qingsheng had seen Su Ya's academic records. He didn't believe it at all.
"Second brother, don't say too much later. You know that your eldest brother only has this one daughter. If she hadn't been lost when she was young and hadn't given up on herself, her grades definitely wouldn't be so bad."
"Big brother, I know."
Su Qingsheng made the promise.
"Let Ya Ya meet Xing Xing and Cheng Cheng. They're about the same age, so they'll definitely have things to talk about."
After listening to his elder brother's words, Su Qingsheng brought his daughters, Su Linxing and Su Lincheng, to Su Ya.
"Chengcheng, Xingxing, this is your uncle's eldest daughter. You should call her cousin."
Su Lincheng always listened to his parents, so he obediently greeted his cousin.
The outspoken Su Linxing had always had a good relationship with Su Hui. Seeing Su Ya taking up Su Hui's place, she was very dissatisfied: "Isn't my cousin Su Hui? Why is there another one?"
Seeing his elder brother's expression change, Su Qingsheng quickly reprimanded him.
"How can you talk like that? Just call me when I tell you to. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Su Linxing reluctantly called out "Cousin" in a very soft voice.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingsheng smiled apologetically and said, "Brother, the children are just kids and don't know any better. Please don't take it to heart. I'll go home and teach them a lesson."
"We're all family, things will get better once we get to know each other," Su Qinghai replied calmly.
Everyone's here, time to eat.
The whole family had just sat down at the table.
Lin Mei was unaware of Su Ya's exam; Su Qingsheng hadn't told her yet. She was very excited because she had big news to announce.
Then I heard her say, "Perfect timing, I have some good news to tell you all."
Su Qingsheng was completely baffled. What good news was there? How come he didn't know about it?
Su Qinghai showed up to lend a hand. "Lin Mei, what's the good news?"
Then you see Lin Mei looking at Grandpa Su and Grandma Su with a proud expression.
"Dad, Mom, Xingxing's school's final exam results are out. Xingxing got first place in the whole school this time. Her teacher said that with such a score, Xingxing will definitely be able to get into the experimental class of Kyoto No.1 High School. She is the only one in our family to get in on her own merit."
"As expected of my granddaughter, Su Peitong. Not bad. Tell your grandpa what reward you want for this exam, and grandpa will buy it for you."
Grandpa Su was a little carried away with his pride.
Grandma Su nudged Grandpa Su and gave him a look, signaling him to look at Su Ya to the side.
Grandpa Su immediately dropped his smug expression.
“You guys are all doing great. Your sister Ya Ya is going to Kyoto No.1 High School tomorrow.”
At this moment, Su Lincheng glanced at Su Ya, a glance that held many meanings. He hadn't expected his cousin, whom he had just recognized from the countryside, to be so capable. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Congratulations, cousin, on getting into Kyoto No. 1 High School."
Su Ya replied with a soft "yes".
Su Linxing, sitting next to Su Lincheng, was furious. Tonight should have been her moment of glory. Her mother, Lin Mei, had told her that she would announce the good news to everyone that night, and she had even prepared the words of praise she would receive. But all of this was inexplicably stolen by that country girl.
Just now, after Su Qingsheng finished scolding Su Linxing, he called the two siblings aside and told them the whole process of recognizing Su Ya.
So now the brother and sister know that Suya was found in a small town in the south, which is the countryside for them, having lived in Kyoto since childhood.
In order to please his elder brother, Su Qingsheng, who was always good at reading the room, also took the opportunity to say something.
"Ya Ya, you can teach your younger brother when you have time."
"Yes, Uncle."
Su Xie wasn't particularly averse to this uncle, and he always showed him the proper courtesy.
"Sister Ya Ya, let's add each other on WeChat." Su Lincheng took out his phone, opened the QR code in WeChat, and looked at Su Ya expectantly, afraid she would refuse.
Seeing Su Lincheng's expression was just like seeing Momo. So, almost as if possessed, Su Ya agreed. A single "Okay" slipped out.
The two added each other on WeChat.
Su Lincheng noticed a new friend request in his contacts.
After passing.
I noticed a new profile picture in my friends list; it was an oil painting of a fantasy world. It looked like it was painted first and then photographed.
Because he had always longed for the fantasy world in novels, he collected many such pictures, but he had never seen this one before.
So Su Lincheng asked, "Cousin, what about this profile picture?"
"Oh, I just drew it casually."
Su Ya said casually.
Su Lincheng was shocked. He wasn't a painter, but he knew that such oil paintings, with their distinct layers, were not something an ordinary person could create.
I realized once again that his approach of trying to please his cousin was the right one.
So he took the opportunity to say, "Cousin, if I encounter any problems with my studies, I'll send you a WeChat message."
"good."
After doing all this, Su Lincheng secretly glanced at his father, Su Qingsheng, sitting opposite him, and saw a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that he had made the right move.
Su Qingsheng looked at his son, then at his daughter, and realized that Su Linxing was completely clueless. She just stood there, not moving an inch.
Su Qingsheng frowned slightly and said in an unquestionable tone, "Xingxing, you should add your cousin on WeChat too. You can ask her for help with any study problems in the future."
"Okay, Dad."
Under pressure from her father, Su Linxing reluctantly took out her phone and added Su Ya on WeChat.
Because Su Linxing knew that, despite her father's current kind-hearted appearance, she and her brother had been beaten a lot since they were little.
Especially since he lost face by not listening to Su Qingsheng in front of others.
He'd be in for a beating when he got home.
Sometimes Su Hui wondered why she had such parents and why she was being treated so unfairly. She never thought of running away from home or living a life of luxury; she didn't know what she could do outside.
I've seen many news reports online about children running away from home because they couldn't bear the burden. And what's the result? They only end up hurting themselves. If they're found, that's fine, but if they aren't, boys might end up with broken limbs and become beggars, and girls might be sold into filthy places.
Su Hui didn't want to live that kind of life.
So she learned to read between the lines, and that she must always listen to her father's words, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
While Su Linxing was sitting at the table, she saw her father sitting next to Su Ya, picking up this dish and that dish for her, asking her if she liked them before doing so.
The way he doted on her made Su Linxing jealous.
Her own father had never treated her like this.
Only her brother, Su Lincheng, received this kind of treatment.
Su Lincheng's parents always doted on him and didn't care about anything. What they often said was, "Su Lincheng is the son of the family, and the family business will be passed on to him in the future. Even if he doesn't know anything, he won't suffer in the future. But it's hard to say about Su Linxing. If her grades are not good, she won't be able to marry a good man in the future. No wealthy family would want a wife who is good for nothing."
So Su Linxing studied very late every day, truly getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the dogs.
She dared not participate in any extracurricular activities at school, making the most of every minute to study. Even on the way home from school, she would take a thick English dictionary with her to memorize words.
Hard work pays off, and she achieved the top score in the entire school in her final exams.
Grandpa also praised her.
So, unwilling to give up, Su Linxing secretly glanced at Su Ya when no one was looking, a glance filled with endless anger and resentment.
