Shi Nian didn't have a strong desire to win or lose. For him, being first or last would at most make him feel disappointed for a while, but he didn't have any other feelings.
But Nuobi obviously has high hopes for Shi Nian, hoping that he can become a model of Jackie Chan. He talks about being the first in everything he does. Finally, he fell into deep thought, and I wonder what kind of ideas are going on in his little head.
When Yichu came upstairs to call them to dinner, Nobby pulled him aside and announced, "I want to take the exam with Brot. I listen. If he takes the exam, he will get first place!"
Shi Nian was stunned. How could this be possible?
Nobby said confidently, "I looked up the school rules of West Academy online, and they don't say anything about not bringing Puschini people with you when you're speaking Kauphinian."
Shi Yichu held a child's neck with one hand and led them downstairs. "Don't think about it. The rules on Star Online are the old ones. The new rules stipulate that you can't bring people to the exam."
"Do you think you're the only one who came up with this trick? Ridiculous."
Nobby looked depressed, "Who used this trick first?"
"Of course it's your father. I got second place in linguistics thanks to Morpheus."
Shi Nian couldn't help but ask, "Then who's number one?"
Shi Yichu was proud and said, "Of course it's your father, my brother."
Shi Nian and Nobi: "..."
Ever since Shi Yichui brought Morpheus to the examination room, West Academy changed the school rules overnight and patched up other exam loopholes. As a result, a large number of students had to embark on the path of serious study.
Shi Nian watched Nuobi fall into deep thought again, pulled her, and said sincerely: "It's good that I ranked last in the exam, really."
So don't spend too much time on him!
"No!" Nobi denied it outright. He looked at Shi Yichu with a puffed face and said unconvincedly, "You got first place in Brot, so mine must be first too."
Shi Yichu refused to give in on the topic. "I guess it's difficult. Although Xiao Niannian is very talented, my brother is obviously more powerful."
Nobby: "Ani is the worst! Hmph-!"
Shi Nian was afraid they would start arguing, so she quickly stood between them to mediate. "Don't argue. I may not get first place, but my father is still very capable... Nuobi and little uncle, please stop arguing."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Nobi became even angrier. Just as she was about to say something, another large group of people came over and greeted them in a very familiar manner.
Shi Nian immediately hid behind Shi Yichu and observed this group of gorgeously dressed men and women.
These people formed a circle, surrounded the three people, and started talking at once.
"Yichu, are you adjusting back to Plant? I'm your third uncle. Didn't Morpheus mention me to you?"
"Shouldn't you guys hold a party now that you're back? It would be great if it were lively and fun. This manor is still too deserted. You could also invite the old men back."
"Are these two little ones the ones you gave birth to? Oh my! Look at their little faces, they look just like Mor... and you, hahahaha."
The Omega who spoke last laughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, running to tease Shi Nian and Nobi, "Hey little guys, you guys are so cute..."
Because Shi Nian had been pinching the corner of Shi Yichu's clothes, her thick and curly eyelashes trembled, and there was a hint of uneasiness on her delicate and cute little face.
Nobby looked at the group of people with a cold face the whole time, with the words "Die if you dare to touch me" written all over his body. Omega naturally chose to touch Shi Nian's face.
Shi Nian was very averse to being touched by strangers. He pouted and looked at the approaching hand, ready to avoid it, when a small hand appeared in front of him and slapped the hand of this person heavily.
“Bang!”
A crisp sound silenced the noisy scene.
Nobby looked at the Omega coldly, his blue eyes tinged with murderous intent. "Don't touch me with your dirty hands, Brot."
"And..." Nobby glanced at everyone present, and the voice through the translator was cold, "Grandma Louise has already given me all the shares. I will be the next head of the Merovingian family. If you guys make me unhappy again, you guys will all get out of here."
The others looked at Shi Yichui with embarrassment, as if they wanted him to take care of the child. But Shi Yichui just turned his head away, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The elders from the collateral family were humiliated by a little kid, and besides being angry, they also felt a little scared.
They were afraid that if Nobi really became the patriarch, she would cut off ties with them. So they didn't dare to offend her, nor did they feel comfortable staying any longer, so they all found excuses to leave.
Shi Nian didn't know the identities of these people and thought they were guests. However, at lunchtime, there were only two families sitting at the long table.
The servants respectfully brought out various dishes, then bowed and left, as if the others had never appeared.
Shi Nian looked around curiously and asked Nuobi in a low voice, "Are there any other guests at your house? Aren't they going to eat?"
Nobby was supposed to sit between Morpheus and Shi Yichu, but she looked at Morpheus while slowly cutting the steak, cutting the beef slowly and methodically, as if she was cutting Morpheus's flesh.
Morpheus couldn't help but move his chair away from Nobby.
Shi Yichu was afraid that she would stab Morpheus with a knife, so he quickly asked her to change seats with Yu Chen to separate the two enemies. Shi Nian then sat with Nobi.
Nobby was stunned when he heard Shi Nian's question and shook his head. "We don't have any guests today. Bro, who are you talking about?"
Shi Nian was puzzled. "They are the same group of people we met when we came to the restaurant."
"Oh, those are collateral branches. They are not qualified to eat with us."
"Your relatives?"
"Hmm... not really." Nobby racked his brains for a description of them, then said slowly, "At best, they're blood-related collaborators, but most are worthless, relying on the Merovingian surname to legitimately extort money."
This statement was so sharp that everyone at the table couldn't help but look at Nobi.
Although what she said was not wrong, it was too blunt, as if it had torn off all the fig leaves and devalued the noble Merovingian bloodline that these people claimed to have.
It took Shi Nian a long time to understand what Nobi meant. Those people were indeed relatives, but these relatives were all tied to interests and were not well-liked by Nobi.
No wonder Nobby was so rude to them in the hall.
Shi Yichu sighed upon hearing this, leaning his body to one side and complaining to Shi Yiyu beside him, "Ah, he really is worthy of being a petty capitalist trained by an old capitalist. But to be honest, I think so too."
Shi Yiyu glanced at him, and the latter immediately put away his playful smile and sat upright. But after a while, he leaned over and whispered in Shi Yiyu's ear intimately.
Morpheus looked abandoned and resentful, trying to attract Yichu's attention with his burning gaze, but it was obvious that it was of no use.
Morpheus met Yu Luhan's eyes and winked at him angrily: Hurry up, separate them!
Yu Luhan lightly shifted his gaze and picked up some food for Shi Nian.
Shi Nian looked at the delicious meatballs in the bowl and said sweetly, "Thank you, father~"
Yu Luhan rubbed his little head.
Morpheus looked at the loving father and filial son scene, and for no reason his eyes were fixed on Nobby who was cutting steak, and he also picked up a vegetable to give to his own child.
Humph, he has children too!
Nobby met Morpheus's gaze, narrowed his eyes, and slashed the knife across the plate, making a sharp and piercing sound, as if the knife would pierce several bloody holes in Morpheus's body as long as the vegetable touched his bowl.
Morpheus's hand trembled and he quickly turned a corner, and put the vegetables into the bowl.
Shi Nian looked at the green vegetable, then raised her eyes to look at Morpheus, "Uncle-in-law, I don't like celery."
Morpheus: "...to your father."
Shi Nian obediently picked up the celery and put it into Yu Luhan's bowl, "Father, eat~"
Yu Luhan looked at Morpheus with a cold look, then turned to look at Shi Nianshi and changed his expression to a gentle one, "Okay, thank you, Little Rose."
Shi Nian watched Yu Luhan eat the unpalatable celery and secretly noted that her father actually liked to eat celery.
Shi Yichu pulled Shi Yiyu aside and whispered to him. As he was talking, he glanced at Shi Nian and suggested, "Brother, why don't you leave Nian Nian with me for a while? Let this kid influence my family."
"Cold-blooded capitalists are unacceptable."
At this time, a waiter came over to add more wine for Shi Nian. Shi Nian subconsciously said thank you to the uncle who poured him the wine. The man was stunned for a moment and nodded to Shi Nian with a smile.
Shi Yiyu happened to see this scene and said nothing. "Go ask Xiao Meigui if he's willing to stay with you for a while."
When Shi Nian heard her name, she immediately raised her head and looked at Shi Yiyu curiously with her round eyes, "Dad?"
Shi Yichu smiled and asked him, "I just wanted to ask your father for you. So, now I'm asking you directly, Little Rose, are you willing to stay with me for two days?"
Shi Nian hesitated and looked at his family, "Uncle, how many days should I stay?"
Shi Yichu knew that Shi Nian missed home very much, so he smiled and replied, "Two or three days will be enough. Your father and your father will come to see you when they have time. You can take Nuobi around. She has always wanted to explore this city."
Nobby immediately put down his cutlery, hugged Shi Nian's arm, rubbed his head against his arm, and looked up at him expectantly, "Brot, stay and play with me."
Shi Nian hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded slowly.
After accompanying Shi Nian to see her family off, Shi Yichu immediately called the butler and asked him to prepare the daily necessities Shi Nian would need. "...and prepare clothes too. The size...I think one size larger than Nobi will be fine."
Shi Nian: "..."
He weakly tried to defend himself and bargained, "Actually, I'm taller than Nobby. I'm the older brother. Can I have a few more sizes?"
South Wind Team
He is three years older than Nobi and has eaten three more years of food, so how can his size be only slightly bigger than hers?
No, it has to be three points older!
Shi Yichu didn't understand Shi Nian's complicated thoughts and looked at his small body with embarrassment. "Wouldn't that be too big?"
Even though Shi Nian's health had improved under Master Zhong's care, he was still relatively weak and grew slowly. Nuobi, on the other hand, had been raised mostly by his grandparents, and now, compared to Shi Nian, he was about the same height and build.
The butler was a middle-aged Beta. He adjusted his reading glasses, his eyes sharp and insightful behind the lenses. "It only needs to be one size larger than the young lady's. I've been a tailor, so I'm sure of that."
Shi Nian: "..."
The butler was experienced in his work and he quickly prepared everything for Shi Nian. Shi Nian's room was on the second floor, next door to Nobi's bedroom.
His wardrobe was already filled with clothes in his size. Shi Nian tried one out of disbelief, and it turned out that he could actually wear it.
The little guy was shocked and buried himself in the soft bed like a little ostrich.
He drinks milk every day, so why is he still so short?
At night, when Shi Nian was about to take a shower and go to bed, Nuobi knocked on his door and invited him, "Brot, Ani said there's a party tonight, let's go together."
Shi Nian put on her clothes and let Nuobi in. "What party?"
Nobby was obviously very happy to be able to go out, and the speed of the translator became much faster. "It seems to be a party held by a clothing store in the Chamber of Commerce. Ani said that their clothes are very nice. Brot can go buy some clothes."
Shi Nian also felt a little bored, but she didn't quite understand why a banquet was held just to sell clothes. Wouldn't her clothes get dirty when she ate cakes and drank wine?
Shi Nian didn't know that the so-called clothing seller was actually the famous Luo Daning family in the empire.
The Lodanin family is also a subsidiary family of the Merovingian family. Their industry is concentrated in high-end clothing. The launch of a product will attract countless beauty lovers to scramble for it.
At this time, the head of the Luodaning family was anxiously awaiting news from the Merovingian family. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Morpheus would come to the banquet. "Remember, the Merovingian family comes first. We must entertain them well."
