Chapter 212: Will you ignore him after getting the silver?
It was already dark when they arrived at the mansion. The three children all went to take a bath and change clothes. When they came out again, they were all covered in bright clothes.
The old lady had already had the food prepared and was just waiting for them to come over to eat. The family ate and talked happily.
He Zheng was also a person with no good eyesight. When he talked about something happy, he couldn't help but say, "Before we entered the tribute courtyard, there was a question we didn't know how to answer, and it was Qin Ye who told us the answer. Guess what, we actually got the answer right!"
Everyone was surprised when they heard it.
The old lady smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, I didn't expect you three to be so lucky. You met a noble person before the exam. You will definitely pass!"
Zong Wenxiu also smiled and said, "If we pass the exam, we really have to thank Qin Ye."
"That's natural." Bailiweihong responded.
Zong Jincheng listened to everyone praising Qin Ye one after another, and the happy smile on his face soon disappeared. He angrily put a piece of meat into Zong Wenxiu's bowl and said, "Brother, eat meat."
"Oh, okay, thank you." Zong Wenxiu laughed while eating, listening to He Zheng describing the praises of Qin Ye by other students. It was such a vivid image.
Qin Ye, Qin Ye, it's all Qin Ye...
The little devil's face turned almost black.
Whose family dinner is this?
Humph╯^╰!
Xu Wan nudged him and asked, "So, have you finished writing that question?"
The little devil snorted and turned away: "It's none of your business."
Of course he wrote it down. How could the young master lose his temper over such a big thing? But if he was asked to admit that he wrote down the answer Qin Ye told him, he would never tell him even if he was beaten to death.
Xu Wan was surprised: "Huh? Why are you still angry? Weren't you fine just now?"
The little devil stared at her, then suddenly stood up and said, "I'm full, I'm going back to sleep."
He was so angry that it went deep into his heart.
So annoying!!
Everyone at the table was stunned. The little devil had only finished half a bowl of rice, which was far less than his usual amount of food.
Xu Wan also stood up and said, "I'll go over and take a look. You guys eat first."
"Wan'er, Jincheng is tired too. You can ask the kitchen to send the meals to him in the courtyard. He doesn't have to come here specially." The old lady arranged.
"good."
At the dinner table, He Zheng and Zong Wenxiu looked at each other blankly.
The dark courtyard was illuminated only by dim street lights. The little devil was walking in front with his head down, his footsteps so fast that Xu Wan had to jog to keep up with him.
"Slow down, Jincheng, wait for me."
When the little devil heard her chasing him, although he was still very angry, he slowed down his pace unconsciously and was soon caught up by Xu Wan.
The two walked side by side. Xu Wan asked him what was wrong, but the little devil didn't say a word and just lowered his head and sulked.
"Are you angry that everyone keeps mentioning Qin Ye?" Xu Wan thought about the topic they were talking about just now, which was centered around Qin Ye.
The little devil stopped and glared at her: "Do you also think I'm not as good as Qin Ye?"
Xu Wan: “…”
Of course, Qin Ye is very strong.
But looking at the boy like this, if she dared to admit it, I'm afraid the harmonious mother-son relationship would be broken up tonight.
The little devil angrily accused: "I knew you would definitely..."
"No." Xu Wan denied.
The little devil was stunned: "What?"
Xu Wan said: "I said no, I don't think you are worse than Qin Ye. It's just that you are still chasing him now, so he seems powerful. In fact, it's not true. The future is uncertain and no one can predict it."
The little devil calmed down.
The corners of his mouth even couldn't help but rise up, and he said proudly: "The future is certain, I will definitely defeat Qin Ye and take down the top scholar in one fell swoop!"
Xu Wan also chuckled and said, "What a great ambition! I will try my best to help you achieve this goal."
Hearing this, the little devil recalled the methods she had taught him. They were all unique and not available in other academies.
The young guy was secretly happy and felt even more proud.
I am invincible, and together with my invincible mother, I will definitely be able to defeat Qin Ye!
The breeze in the courtyard was refreshing and pleasant. The two took a walk on the way back. The little devil felt very comfortable, but still asked awkwardly: "Why are you so nice to me now?"
"Is this what I call being nice to you?" Xu Wan raised her eyebrows. "Isn't that how I treat Wen Xiu and He Zheng?"
The little devil stopped laughing immediately: "Humph, biased."
"Huh? I said it all the same, so how can you be biased?" Xu Wan really didn't understand his train of thought.
The little devil analyzed the situation to her seriously, "You are my mother and I am your son, so you should treat me the best. But you treat me the same as they do. Doesn't that mean you are treating me less well? That's biased, huh."
Xu Wan: “…”
You know what, after such a long and rambling analysis, I actually think it makes a lot of sense.
She coughed and said, "Nonsense, I am still the best to you. On your way back just now, I only wiped your face and rode in a carriage with you. Now I am only with you."
No matter what, you must never lose an argument.
The little devil raised his head and stared at her, which made Xu Wan feel uneasy: "Why are you staring at me again? What are you looking at?"
Zong Jincheng asked, "Are you being nice to me because of the 100,000 taels?"
He still remembered that Xu Wan was given a reward of 100,000 taels by his grandparents to take on the task of educating him.
Apart from the 100,000 taels, what kind of feelings does she have for him? Once she gets the silver, will she abandon him immediately?
Xu Wan asked back: "What do you think?"
The little devil pouted and said, "I don't know, that's why I'm asking you."
"Guess." Xu Wan teased her deliberately.
"I can't guess." The little devil was so anxious that he grabbed her arm and urged her, "Hurry up and tell me."
Xu Wan flicked his head with amusement: "What nonsense are you thinking? Of course not. People have feelings. If you treat me well, I will treat you well. Even if we had different thoughts at the beginning, it's different now, isn't it?"
She could feel that the boy was becoming more and more dependent on her, and he began to treat her as his mother.
"Oh." The little devil responded pretending to be calm, but he was already beginning to feel ecstatic in his heart.
As expected, he guessed correctly, she liked him, and had liked him for a long time. Not because of the relationship in name, nor because of the pressure of money, but because she loved him sincerely and with real feelings, as if he were her son.
The little devil tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, but it felt so difficult. He pretended to be anxious to go back to sleep, and walked forward without looking back, for fear that she would find out that he was blushing again.
"Hey? Why are you running away again? Slow down." Xu Wan wanted to chase him again.
The little devil waved his hands without turning his head and shouted, "Don't chase me. I'm going to sleep. I'll accompany you to the banquet tomorrow. Good night."
Xu Wantun stood there, feeling helpless and amused.
"This little bastard has such changeable moods." She said to Cuizhi, "Go and send the food over so that he can eat something before going to sleep, or he won't wake up hungry at night."
"yes."
