Chapter 125 was a mediocre test.
Three o'clock in the morning.
Lu Jin was awakened by the noise outside the door. He opened his eyes and lay quietly on the bed, the screen of his phone still lit up.
On the other side of the screen, the girl was fast asleep on the bed, her phone, which had fallen from her hand, was pressed against her face. It was as if you could feel her shallow breathing through the phone screen.
Lu Jin's heart suddenly melted completely.
He gently extended his finger, but as soon as he touched the screen, the phone indicated low battery and shut down.
Lu Jin's hand paused on the screen, his eyes also filled with darkness.
The crying outside became more distinct; it was a woman crying.
Lu Jin sat up in bed and looked at the little white cat sleeping in the corner.
"Meow?"
The little white cat was sleeping soundly when it was suddenly lifted up, and it hadn't figured out what was going on yet.
The door opened a crack, and it was thrown out.
"Meow!"
"Ah!" the woman cried, "Where did this cat come from!"
The outside suddenly became very lively.
Lu Jin waited quietly in the room for a while. After confirming that the voice outside was a person, he opened the door and went out. "Who are you?"
Lu Yuan's expensive black velvet dress was covered in cat hairs, and she was about to angrily confront the cat when she saw Lu Jin walking out of the room. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears. "You...you must be Lu Jin..."
Lu Jin: "Yes, that's me."
"I've finally seen you! Lu Jin!" Lu Yuan cried sweetly as she rushed towards Lu Jin.
But Lu Jin moved two steps to the side, and she missed.
Lu Yuan looked so aggrieved that she wanted to bite her handkerchief. This usually aloof and beautiful woman was now crying like a timid and easily frightened rabbit. "Waaah... Lu Jin, I'm your aunt."
Lu Jin remembered that there was indeed such a person.
Lu Qi had told him that he had an aunt who was about to return to China and that she was very difficult to deal with, so he could ignore her.
He didn't know what "difficult to deal with" meant at the time, but now, seeing this woman's tears falling like they were free, he suddenly understood.
Lu Yuan cried uncontrollably, completely losing her composure. "I'm so sorry, Sister Ruoruo. I made you suffer for so many years. Why didn't I find out sooner that you were replaced by an imposter?"
Lu Yuan wiped away her tears and choked out, "I'm so useless, I... I can only atone with my death!"
Her gaze fell on the stair railing, and she immediately walked over, ready to climb the stairs, shouting, "Let me die!"
After waiting for a while, no one came to help me.
Through her teary eyes, she looked back and only saw Lu Jin's back as he returned to his room. She cried even harder, "Lu Jin! You hate that your aunt didn't bring you back sooner, don't you!"
Lu Jin didn't even turn his head. "No."
"Then why are you ignoring me!"
That person told me to ignore you.
With a "smack," Lu Jin slammed the door shut. Before the door closed, the little white cat swiftly slipped through the crack and into the room.
Lu Yuan, her face streaked with tears, walked straight to the door of another room and shouted, "Lu Qi, come out here!"
Lu Qi was sleeping soundly with his soft and sweet wife in his arms when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. He opened his eyes groggily, but didn't react.
The banging on the door was still going on and on. "Lu Qi, I know you're in there! You dare to talk bad about me in front of my nephew? You dare to open the door!"
Lu Qi rummaged through the bedside table and found two pairs of earplugs. He first put one on the woman in his arms, and then put a pair on himself.
He then tucked the blanket in, held the woman in the bed, and whispered, "Ruoruo, goodnight."
In this quiet world, he closed his eyes and had a good sleep.
Xia Zhen slept until late morning. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to check her phone, but it had run out of battery and had been turned off because she had been watching videos all night.
She got dressed and went to wash up. She had just finished brushing her teeth when she heard someone ring the doorbell.
Xia Zhen first peeked through the peephole to make sure it wasn't a stranger, then composed herself before opening the door and excitedly calling out, "Dad!"
Xia Yu gave a cool "hmm".
It's just seeing him, isn't it?
Did his daughter really need to be laughing so happily?
Xia Yu calmly took out an envelope. "Your acceptance letter has arrived."
Xia Zhen immediately reached out and took it. Without a doubt, she had been accepted by the university she had listed as her first choice. She shouted happily, "That's great!"
Xia Yu frowned slightly, "Shouting and yelling, she doesn't act like a lady at all."
"I'm glad I didn't let my dad down!"
Xia Yu kept her face stern. "As the eldest daughter of the Xia family, you should be calm and composed. It's just an acceptance letter. Is it really worth being so happy about?"
"Oh." Xia Zhen straightened up.
Xia Yu's phone rang, and he answered it.
An assistant's voice came from the other end, "Mr. Xia, the photo of Miss's admission letter has been professionally processed by a photographer. In particular, the name of the university has been enlarged. I have sent the high-resolution photo to your email. I guarantee that as soon as you post it on your WeChat Moments, everyone will know that our Miss has been admitted to the best university."
Xia Yu: "Mm."
With that simple reply, he hung up the phone.
Faced with her daughter's inquiring gaze, Xia Yu casually said, "Although getting into university isn't a big deal, it's still necessary to have a meal together."
He stopped talking after saying that.
Xia Zhen realized what was happening and replied, "My mom has been very busy lately. She went to work a long time ago, and she also said that she would take me out to play after she finished her work, so she definitely doesn't have time to have dinner with me right now."
Xia Yu said dismissively, "Who cares about eating with her?"
Xia Zhen nodded, "Yes, yes, Dad, you don't care."
Xia Yu snorted, "Hurry up and get ready, I'll take you out to eat."
"Okay!" Xia Zhen ran back to get ready.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xia Yu found the email sent by his assistant in his inbox. He saved the high-resolution photo of the notification letter, then went to his WeChat Moments and posted a photo of it.
The caption read: "I guess I did okay on the exam."
Before long, he received praise from a group of business tycoons in the industry, as well as many replies praising his excellent parenting skills.
"You call this an average score? Mr. Xia, your daughter got into one of the best universities in the country!"
[The moment I saw Zhenzhen, I knew she was smart and sensible. Mr. Xia, you really know how to raise children!]
If this were my daughter's acceptance letter, I would definitely frame it and hang it on the wall!
