Chapter 471: Motherly Love and Filial Piety (4689)
At the same time, downstairs, Lu Yikang sat next to a teenager with acne all over his face. He suppressed his anger, pointed at a test paper and spit.
Although the boy still had a childish look on his face, he was tall and strong. On his wrist he wore the second generation of the Fruit Watch Nike+, which had just been launched less than half a month ago, and on his feet he wore a size 43 red and black banned replica of the AJ1, which twisted restlessly.
"What did I say before? One moving and one static elastic collision, memorize the formula for velocity distribution. Look carefully at the question, what does it say?"
…
"Smooth, smooth! Are these two words big? Are they big?"
"Big? You know it's this big, but you still can't see it? What did I say before!? Whenever the words 'smooth' and 'no energy loss' appear, you immediately apply this formula reflexively!"
Although the acne-stricken boy nodded perfunctorily, he curled his lips while Lu Yikang was drinking water, looking a little unconvinced.
"Lao Lu, Junming, take a break first and eat some fruit. These freshly harvested oranges are sour and sweet. It's a good combination of work and rest."
"You too, why rush? It's only October now, and the final exams are still eight months away. Junming is so smart, his science score will definitely improve by then."
Zhao Wenjing walked into Lu Yikang's study carrying a plate of fruit, enthusiastically placed it on the desk, quietly nudged Lu Yikang, and gave him a wink.
Lu Yikang said with a straight face, "Finish this special sprint test this holiday and hand it in on the last day of the long vacation. Okay, that's all for today. When you get home, write an analysis of today's mistakes and send it to my email."
"Write down one less reason for the mistake, and you'll have to do an extra set of special papers! Do you understand?"
The acne-prone boy stiffened his neck and was visibly unwilling, but he didn't say anything.
Zhao Wenjing led the acne-prone boy into the living room with a friendly smile, and handed him over to a woman who looked like a lady from her temperament. She chatted and laughed as she sent the mother and son to the door.
The acne-prone boy lingered at the door, constantly winking at his mother.
"Wenjing, why didn't I see Jiayan today? She hasn't had her holiday yet?" After chatting for a few sentences at the door, the lady glanced upstairs seemingly casually, and took Zhao Wenjing's arm to get close to her affectionately.
Zhao Wenjing's eyelids twitched twice, but she still kept a friendly smile on her face. "Oh, don't mention it. The child has grown up and his heart has become wild. Well, I'm going boating with my boyfriend this afternoon. I'm getting dressed up upstairs. I've been conceited all morning."
The lady glanced at the acne-prone boy, half-seriously surprised, "Really? Jiayan has a boyfriend? She's only one year older than our Xiaoming, right?"
Zhao Wenjing smirked, "He's almost two years older now. Junming just had his birthday. He'll be going to college next year, so he'll charm a lot of girls. You'll have to keep a close eye on him then."
The lady looked embarrassed. "With his grades, it's uncertain how well he'll do in the exam. By the way, Jiayan is so outstanding, so her boyfriend must be good, right? Whose child is he?"
Zhao Wenjing smiled calmly, "Nothing special, just classmates."
Classmate? The lady smiled calmly: "Okay, go back. Please thank Teacher Lu for me. We are leaving now."
The lady pulled the reluctant acne-prone boy into a mini car parked at the door and waved at Zhao Wenjing with a bright smile.
Seeing the mini driving away, Zhao Wenjing put away her smile and returned to Lu Yikang's study.
She could see that Pan Junming and his mother had feelings for Lu Jiayan, but she didn't take it too seriously.
Even if your father is Pan Feng and your mother spoils you, so what? If you really insist on pestering me, I will tell you about Jia Jia's physical condition. I'm afraid I will run faster than anyone else.
Although Zhao Wenjing is insightful, she has never truly experienced the dangers of the world. With a harmonious family and no worries about food and clothing, she is still a little too naive.
"Gone?" Lu Yikang lowered his head and wrote and drew on a piece of paper. He didn't need to look back, he knew it was his wife just by the sound of her footsteps.
Zhao Wenjing fed Lu Yikang an orange slice and said, "Let's go. Don't yell at Pan Junming next time. We heard it in the living room upstairs just now. Li Bingqian looked terribly upset."
Lu Yikang was stunned. "Didn't she say anything is fine as long as it helps improve my grades? I haven't even scolded him, I just said a few words, and that's not okay?"
A good wife keeps her husband safe from misfortune. Zhao Wenjing stretched out her finger and tapped Lu Yikang's forehead like Lin Daiyu: "Do you really believe what they say?"
"Pan Feng is almost sixty years old, and he only has this one precious son. Look how much Li Bingqian cherishes him. Pan Junming had his coming-of-age ceremony over half a month ago. Do you know what his parents gave him as a birthday gift?"
Lu Yikang became interested: "Could it be that Pan Feng still dares to give his son luxury cars and watches?"
Zhao Wenjing snorted twice. "Luxury cars and watches? Humph, you really are the emperor who uses a golden hoe. I heard from Li Bingqian that they gave their precious son a star!"
"Xingxing!?" Lu Yikang said with an old man's face. Then, with a look of sudden realization, he tapped his chest with both hands. "You mean this gorilla? It can't be kept in the city, right?"
Zhao Wenjing was so amused by her husband that she slapped Lu Yikang with a smile: "What? It's a real star, star."
"Real stars?" Lu Yikang was surprised. "How can we send them? Humans can't even return to the moon now, so where would the stars come from?"
"Pan Junming's birthday is September 10th. I don't know how his parents got through the International Astronomical Union to name an asteroid ending in 910 Junming Star."
"This isn't some makeshift team that can name an asteroid simply by paying a fee. This is a formal announcement from the International Astronomical Union through the Minor Planet Circular."
"It's said that the asteroid discovery team originally planned to name the planet after a renowned figure, but Pan Junming snatched it away. Isn't that impressive?"
Lu Yikang was amazed: "Giving stars as a coming-of-age ceremony is really a big deal."
The couple marveled at this for a moment, and then Zhao Wenjing suddenly remembered, "Oh, right? Li Bingqian just asked me how their son Pan Junming is doing in physics. Can he get his score up to 80 before the joint entrance exam?"
Lu Yikang raised his head and frowned, "What is she thinking? There are only two months left before the joint entrance exam. Doesn't she know everything about Pan Junming's basic skills? His weekly test scores before coming here were less than 55."
"Besides..." Lu Yikang hesitated and sighed, "This child doesn't really focus on his studies. Coming to my place for tutoring is a waste of his place. In my opinion, it would be better for him to continue to strive for admission or study abroad."
Zhao Wenjing scoffed while chewing sunflower seeds. "You think his family doesn't want to be recommended for admission? Haven't you heard? Most independent enrollments might be canceled next year. Aside from the descendants of heroes and martyrs and retired athletes reported to the Imperial Household Department, all other avenues might be gone."
Lu Yikang didn't take it seriously: "That's all just nonsense. How can it be that easy? Cancel everything? What about the geniuses with only one subject and Pan Junming?"
Zhao Wenjing chuckled, "That's what everyone's saying. You think it's impossible, but Pan Feng even sent his son to you."
"Geniuses with serious academic imbalances are said to have other special exams. Just this little thing, can't it be solved if we want to?"
Zhao Wenjing paused. "The same goes for studying abroad. Not to mention key departments, even for a company like ours, the head office has internally communicated that all applicants with a background in studying abroad must have their information reported to the Imperial City Department, and only after a qualified investigation can they be hired."
"Aren't there a few students in your class who had originally decided to go abroad and recently came back to take the college entrance exam?"
At this point, Zhao Wenjing looked relieved: "Look, I didn't let Jiajia participate in the previous exchange program, right? If Jiajia really went out, we would be in trouble now."
Lu Yikang was speechless. I didn’t agree with Jia Jia going abroad in the first place, but it was you who insisted on letting my daughter go to Columbia University.
The couple was chatting when they heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs and their daughter's voice came from outside the study: "Dad! Mom! I'm going out! I won't be back for dinner tonight, don't wait for me!"
Lu Yikang responded casually at first, but then he felt a little worried. He took two steps, opened the study door, and stuck his head out to call his daughter: "Jia Jia, what time will you be back tonight?"
Lu Jiayan was so frightened that he immediately wrapped his windbreaker tightly around him, his eyes wandering: "About nine or ten o'clock."
Zhao Wenjing was sharp-eyed. She noticed the black stockings on Lu Jiayan's calves exposed from under her windbreaker and her fingers clutching the collar of her windbreaker. A cold glint flashed in her eyes. "You must be home before nine o'clock. Do you hear me?!"
Lu Jiayan's eyes dodged impatiently: "I know, I know. I'm so annoyed. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he ran out.
Zhao Wenjing narrowed her eyes and said to her husband, "I'll go out and tell her."
While Lu Yikang was puzzled, Zhao Wenjing followed him out.
"You little bastard! What are you doing dressed like that?"
Before Lu Jiayan even left the hospital, Zhao Wenjing grabbed his ear.
"What are you wearing? Do I still have the freedom to wear what I want?" Lu Jiayan stiffened his neck, looking fierce but weak.
Zhao Wenjing sneered.
You're playing this game with your mother? You're really bold.
These are all left over from your mother, okay?
I don't think you remember what I told you before. Are you rushing to let that guy take advantage of you?
"Freedom of dress?"
Zhao Wenjing sneered and ripped open the collar of Lu Jiayan's windbreaker, "Look at what you're wearing..."
Zhao Wenjing was halfway through her words when she saw Lu Jiayan's inner wear and the second half of her words got stuck in her throat.
Huh?
She was wearing a white college-style open-collar shirt with a knee-length black A-line skirt.
The clothes are normal.
Lu Jiayan said smugly, "Your generation is the ignorant old feudal people that Mr. Lu Xun talked about back then. Seeing white arms..."
The dead kid actually learned how to trick your mother?
Zhao Wenjing raised her eyebrows and slapped Lu Jiayan, who quickly ran out of the yard.
"You must be back before nine o'clock! Do you hear me?" Zhao Wenjing shouted at her daughter's slim back.
Lu Jiayan ran out of the community without looking back and got on the online taxi that had been waiting on the roadside.
Anyway, I'm out now, and it's up to me whether I go back or not! —
"I don't care. I want to know right now who dares to snatch this woman from me!" Pan Junming had a look of resignation on his face, and kicked the door of a mini car parked on the roadside in front of the Shuiyu Huacheng community in a fit of anger.
You know what, the quality of the mini door is pretty good, the iron sheet didn't even get deformed after being kicked.
"Okay, honey, I didn't say I won't check on you. We haven't even got home yet, so I'll have someone check on you when we get home, okay?"
Li Bingqian looked helpless.
This child has been spoiled since childhood. He is given whatever he wants and has a very bad temper.
They received news a month or two ago that the policy would definitely change next year, so they quickly looked for famous teachers for tutoring. Physics is the most important subject in comprehensive science, and with his family's influence, they naturally found Lu Yikang, who had participated in the formulation of the college entrance examination.
Originally, they wanted Lu Yikang to come over, but when they brought the reluctant Pan Junming to Lu Yikang's house for the first meeting, it happened to be the weekend when Lu Jiayan returned home.
As soon as Pan Junming saw Lu Jiayan, his eyes lit up.
Lu Jia started school too early, even exceeding the school admission age limit. He had already learned all the things for first and second grade primary school when he was in kindergarten. He actually started primary school at the age of five and a half, which means he was not much older than Pan Junming.
Of course, the fact that she could start school so early was largely due to the fact that her father and his family were all teachers. She didn't have to worry about being bullied at school because of her young age, and she could also pass the academic ability test and get a special admission notice from the teacher.
In short, from that day on, Pan Junming had been thinking about Lu Jiayan.
His mother has always been willing to grant her precious son's requests. As for whether Pan Junming's interest in Lu Jiayan is a whim, whether Lu Jiayan is willing, and what harm it will cause to Lu Jiayan, it is not within her consideration at all.
She's just a teacher's daughter, she can't cause any big waves.
Moreover, Li Bingqian was also a little angry.
Of course, it’s not for my beloved son, but for Zhao Wenjing.
What kind of person is this? She’s just a teacher’s wife. How dare you act so shamelessly towards me?
I want to see who your daughter's boyfriend is. If I find out that your daughter doesn't have a boyfriend, hehe, I'll
"Alright, alright, stop making trouble. Mom will find someone to check for you right away."
Li Bingqian thought about it, picked up her cell phone, picked a number and dialed it.
"Lao Miao, it's me. Yeah, Lao Pan is pretty good too. By the way, can you help me check out someone? She's a sophomore at National University—oh no, she's a junior, probably in the School of Economics. There's a girl named Lu Jiayan. Can you help me find out if she has a boyfriend and who he is?"
"When do you want it? Of course the sooner the better."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
Li Bingqian hung up the phone and glared at her son angrily: "Little Ancestor, are you satisfied?"
Pan Junming was sitting in the passenger seat playing with his phone and ignored her.
Li Bingqian sighed.
Forget it. After all, a mother’s status is determined by her son. I will have to rely on my son for the rest of my life.
Li Bingqian simply stopped driving. Lao Miao had promised to call her in half an hour anyway, so she simply turned off the engine and leaned back in her chair to browse Xiaohongshu.
Li Bingqian has become addicted to Xiaohongshu recently. Although she can tell at a glance that most of the people there are fake socialites or nouveau riche, many of them speak quite nicely.
Li Bingqian scrolled through two notes and was about to reply with "Sister, you are too silly, but it's not too late to wake up now," when she looked up by chance and saw a beautiful figure jogging at the entrance of the community.
Huh?
"Son, look, is that Lu Jiayan?" Li Bingqian nudged Pan Junming next to her.
Pan Junming immediately looked up and saw Lu Jiayan booking a taxi online.
"Yes! Follow me, I want to see who she's meeting!"
The muscles on Pan Junming's face trembled, and the acne on his face became redder. He ordered Li Bingqian around like she was an old nanny.
Li Bingqian started the car in a hurry. Pan Junming thought Li Bingqian was too slow and kept cursing at her.
Just at this moment, Li Bingqian's cell phone rang.
Li Bingqian glanced at the screen and immediately seemed to find her bearings. She slammed the brakes on the side of the road and glared at her son, "Shut up! It's your dad's call! If you keep making a fuss, aren't you afraid your dad will find out?"
Pan Junming was speechless all of a sudden. He kicked the glove box indignantly and continued playing games on his phone.
Li Bingqian rolled her eyes at her son, cleared her throat, and then answered the phone: "Hello, Lao Pan."
"Who did you just offend me again?!"
Even though the sound leakage from the fruit machine was not serious, Pan Junming could still hear his father's roar on the phone.
Anyway, it’s not me who is being scolded.
Pan Junming didn't even raise his head and continued playing.
"Lao, Lao Pan...what are you talking about? I, I don't know. I'm taking my son to tutoring..."
Li Bingqian was so frightened that she almost dropped her phone in the car.
"You don't know? Who did you ask Xiao Miao to check just now? Damn it! You've killed me!"
The volume on the phone was noticeably lower, but Li Bingqian and Pan Junming could still hear the suppressed anger in the voice.
Xiao Miao? Check who?
Who did I check?
When Li Bingqian was yelled at by her husband, her brain seemed to short-circuit, and it took her several seconds to react.
"I just asked Lao Miao to help me find a female college student. She's the daughter of my son's current physics tutor... It shouldn't be..."
"Shouldn't it be!? Shouldn't it be!? I'll draft the code!"
"The people from the Imperial City Division are right outside my office! And the Palace Front Division as well!"
"They came to me directly with the call information between you and Xiao Miao!"
"Draft?"
Is it really because of Lu Jiayan?
Li Bingqian opened and closed her mouth, but she had no idea what to say.
How is that possible? Her dad is a teacher!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Li Bingqian was enduring Pan Feng's impotent rage on the phone when she heard someone knocking on the window on the driver's side. At some point, a white Iveco was parked in front of and behind her car.
"Ms. Li Bingqian? I need to ask you something. Please get out of the car."
A young man in his early thirties wearing a navy blue jacket gave Li Bingqian a cold smile.
"Oh, by the way, this is your son Pan Junming, right? Come with us too."
The door on the other side was also opened, and a thin-looking young man reached out to pull Pan Junming, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Pan Junming was horrified: "Who are you? What are you doing? This is kidnapping! My dad..."
Before he could finish his words, the skinny young man slashed his throat with a palm knife. He was immediately speechless, and his face flushed as he covered his throat and curled up into a ball. The skinny young man easily dragged him out of the mini.
