Chen Tan thought so firmly, looked up at Shang Yuantang and thanked him again.
"Thank you, Mr. Shang. I'll bring your household registration in three days. However, my junior brother can't go to school yet. He won't be able to go until the fall. As for me and my eldest brother, two high school student certificates will suffice. We learned to read and write at home with our elders, so we can take the self-study exam to go to university."
She didn't know Qin Li's level of education, but judging from the room full of books, he must be quite good.
Shang Yuantang was not surprised by the amount of knowledge she and Lu Chengyi had. He had heard before that the Lu family had an erudite and talented old aunt.
The two of them followed their aunt and should have learned to read and write.
He nodded slightly. "Your eldest brother doesn't need to come to school, but you still have to go to school. I will pay for all the expenses. Consider it my thank you for treating your illness."
"Let's talk about it later. I don't have time now."
"It doesn't matter, you can go to school whenever you want." As long as you live with him, it's fine.
"Thank you, Mr. Shang."
Chen Tan was very happy, but he did not notice the possessiveness rising in Shang Yuantang's smiling eyes.
After dinner, Chen Tan went to the kitchen to boil medicine and quietly poured a glass of pure spiritual spring water for Shang Yuantang.
Now that she has obtained her student status, he has not mentioned what happened in the mountains. Perhaps he spared her and her elder brother because she treated his injuries.
Then help him heal his burns as soon as possible instead of keeping him hanging on for so long.
Shang Yuantang, sitting upright on the sofa, looked at the water she brought him. After taking it and drinking it, he said softly, "Sit down for a while. I'll go upstairs."
"I'll go to the kitchen and check the fire."
The medicine in the kitchen had been boiled. She poured it down and brought it to the dining table. Shang Yuantang came down from upstairs.
He held a bunch of iron boxes of different sizes in his arms.
They were placed on the dining table, spread out one by one, and they were all snacks.
Looking at the foreign words on it, you can tell it wasn’t bought here.
He picked up a round box and opened it, revealing thirty chocolates wrapped in gold foil.
He picked up the box and handed it to Chen Tan, "Try it."
"Thanks."
Chen Tan didn't understand why he suddenly changed, so he picked up one, peeled it and put it in his mouth.
Seeing how skillfully she peeled the chocolate and how she didn't doubt its taste, as if she had eaten it many times before, Shang Yuantang's smile grew.
She really was the daughter of the Lu family who had hidden her identity.
He drank the medicine made from agarwood in one gulp, found a few beautiful large gift boxes, put all the seven iron boxes on the table into them, and then ran to his mother Zhou Qinglan's room and took out eleven paper boxes and eight iron boxes, five of which were round boxes.
He put everything into a gift box, then searched the house for food, apples, cakes, and candies, and stuffed them all into the gift box.
Chen Tan didn't understand what he wanted to do, so he could only say goodbye, "Mr. Shang, don't forget to apply the medicine. I'm going back first."
"I'll give it to you." Shang Yuantang carried five big gift boxes and walked out the door first with the car keys.
"No, no, I'll ride my bike back. No need to bother you."
Chen Tan didn't dare ask him to send her off. If the villagers saw it when he got back and Qin Li heard about it, he would be angry.
"You can't take all these things away. I'll give them to you."
Shang Yuantang came to the gate of the courtyard, put the gift box in the car, and stuffed Chen Tan's bicycle into the back seat.
His car was a luxury car with big eyes and a high nose, painted black and shiny enough to reflect light.
Chen Tan didn't know why he was so abnormal, "Your car is very beautiful. If people see it in the village, they will say that I don't have a job and a man..."
She didn't say the rest, but the meaning was self-evident.
Shang Yuantang hesitated for a moment, "Get in the car, I'll take you to the village entrance."
"...Okay." Chen Tan was forced to get in the car.
It used to take more than half an hour to ride a bike, but now it only takes ten minutes to get outside the village.
Shang Yuantang chose an empty roadside and took her bicycle down.
After she came down, Shang Yuantang tied the gift boxes to the back of her bicycle. Looking at her face, he became more enthusiastic and said, "In three days, bring your eldest brother with you."
After not seeing him for ten years, he wanted to compete with him again.
Hearing that he wanted to see Qin Li, Chen Tan panicked again, "Do you have something to do with my brother?"
Could it be that she misunderstood, and he had no intention of letting her and her elder brother go, but was using sugar-coated bullets to trick her into speaking?
Shang Yuantang stared at him intently, "Ask him for a treasure."
In the past ten years, he has trained his arms and bones to be as strong as iron in the army, just thinking about defeating Lu Chengyi when he sees him again.
Now, such a lovely accident happened.
He'll be gentler.
Chen Tan became more annoyed by what he said.
Asking for treasure?
Did he know that there were treasures hidden in the cave?
It's over. If he meets Big Brother and they confront each other, won't she be finished?
"Haha, I'll go back and tell him. If he's not busy, I'll take him there."
The midday sun shone on Shen Tan's head, reflecting a black pearl-like luster. Shang Yuantang raised his hand and patted her head, "Well, go back."
Chen Tan suppressed his disgust in his heart and forced a smile, "Goodbye, Mr. Shang!"
"goodbye!"
Shang Yuantang watched her leave before getting in the car and leaving.
After returning home, he happened to run into Zhou Qinglan and Aunt Xu who were looking for food in the house. Seeing him come back, Zhou Qinglan asked, "Did our house get robbed?"
"No, I gave it away."
Shang Yuantang's mind flashed with the image of Chen Tan eating chocolate, and he planned to send someone to the south to buy a batch.
"Who? Who did you give it to?" Zhou Qinglan asked.
"Chentan!"
After Shang Yuantang finished speaking, Zhou Qinglan slowly laughed out loud.
"You little brat, have you finally figured it out? You finally know how to make a girl happy. It's okay, I'll send someone to buy more tomorrow. When she comes the day after tomorrow, you can continue to give her gifts. Remember to prepare a bunch of roses, red ones, to represent love."
Seeing his mother's excitement, Shang Yuantang's face flashed with shyness, and then he looked at Aunt Xu, "Please step aside, my mother and I have something to talk about."
"Yes." Aunt Xu left.
Zhou Qinglan quickly sat down next to her son and said, "Go ahead."
Shang Yuantang picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. "Chen Tan is Uncle Lu's daughter. If they are willing, I plan to marry her."
"What?" Zhou Qinglan jumped up from the sofa in shock. "She is Lawrence Lu's daughter?"
Shang Yuantang nodded, "Yes, she is the daughter that Uncle Lu sent to the countryside for foster care in advance."
"No, I don't agree."
He will marry any girl as long as she is of good quality.
But the girl from the Lu family can't do that.
"Why? Don't you want to bring us together?" Shang Yuantang looked at his mother in confusion.
He had this idea because her mother liked agarwood.
"Others can do it, but the daughter of the Lu family can't," Zhou Qinglan calmed down and sat down, and continued,
"I asked you to take care of the Lu family because of the friendship between your father and Lawrence Lu. We don't lack that little bit of charity.
If you marry their daughter, it will be a burden to you, and it might even drag our entire business into the abyss. Do you want to gamble with your entire family?"
"What if I insist on having her?" Shang Yuantang stared at his mother solemnly.
It's not that he didn't consider his mother's worries, but Chen Tan had changed his name, and in the south, he was confident that he could protect her.
