Chapter 223 You Should Learn With an Open Mind
As soon as they returned to the Chu family, Old Man Chu and Chu Wanyuan couldn't wait to know the test results of Chu Ci and Meng Yuxin.
"Yuxin passed the exam, but Aci didn't." Meng Qingyan replied.
While speaking, he looked at Chu Ci cautiously, worried that she would be upset and cry.
Hearing this answer, Mr. Chu showed a disappointed expression and looked at Chu Ci meaningfully.
Chu Ci's mood today was much worse than usual. He looked depressed and unhappy, and it seemed that he had suffered a great blow.
In fact, Old Master Chu hoped that the one who passed the exam would be Chu Ci. After all, Chu Ci was a genuine member of the Chu family. If she could be successful, it would be a good thing for the entire Chu family.
Especially now that his two sons have not achieved much and his grandchildren don't have much prospects either, he always hopes that there will be successors. This idea has become stronger and stronger, especially after he fell ill.
Oh, never mind. At least one person passed the exam. It’s still worth being happy about, but we can’t ask for too much.
Chu Yuheng sneered. Although he didn't say anything, others could probably guess what he was thinking at the moment.
He had already said some of these things before the two children went to take the exam.
Chu Wanyuan walked up to Meng Yuxin, took her hand and said warmly, "Good child. When you go to Beijing to study at university, come to your aunt's house often. Don't be so distant with your aunt. Just treat her as your own aunt."
"Thank you, aunt." Meng Yuxin hurriedly thanked her.
"I said before that whoever of you can get admitted to Beijing University will be rewarded with a villa. Now Yuxin has been admitted and Chuci has not. I will fulfill my promise and reward Yuxin with a villa." said Mr. Chu.
"Grandpa Chu, no thanks. I can't accept your reward anymore." Meng Yuxin refused. "I study for myself and for my aunt's cultivation of me. These are what I should do. I don't deserve your reward anymore."
Meng Qingyan hurriedly said, "Silly child, if your Grandpa Chu wants to give it to you, just take it."
Chu Han also said: "Yes, Sister Yuxin, you earned this."
"But..." Meng Yuxin was still reluctant to accept it.
"Don't refuse." Mr. Chu said, "Since I have agreed, there is no reason for me to break my promise. I will keep my word. If you don't accept it, it will make me break my promise."
"Then...thank you, Grandpa Chu." Meng Yuxin thanked him softly.
Meng Yuxin turned to Chu Ci and said, "Cousin, I'm really sorry this time. I won against you, I hope you don't mind and don't be sad. Keep up the good work in the college entrance examination. I'll be waiting for you at Peking University."
Chu Ci said nothing at the dinner table and focused on eating.
When he heard Meng Yuxin talking to him, he looked up at her with an expression as if he was looking at a fool.
Meng Yuxin smiled and said, "Cousin, you won't be mad at me because I passed the exam and you didn't, right?"
Angry at her? Why?
At this time, Chu Yuheng said: "Yuxin is absolutely right. Talent must be matched with hard work. You are so careless all day long. If you are not eating or watching TV, you will just play games. You are not motivated at all. No wonder you did not do well in the exam this time!"
Although what Chu Yuheng said was unpleasant to hear, it was the truth.
Old Master Chu said, "Chu Ci, your father is right. You really should work harder, learn from Yu Xin, and put in some hard work."
