"What video? He's almost a grandfather, and he's still laughing like a child..."
Wang Xiaoxia muttered to herself as she reached for her phone on the sofa.
She was certainly about to become a grandmother, after all, she had already given away her "get-out-of-jail-free card," and Chen Lu, who had been so clever since childhood, couldn't possibly not understand what she meant.
Of course, if Chen Lu disobeys the imperial order...
Historically, quite a few people who held imperial edicts of merit have actually died.
Two years ago, she was eagerly hoping that Chen Mo would finish his college entrance exams soon so that she could be freed from the job of taking care of children. If Chen Lu had suddenly asked her to help take care of the children, she would have had to pack her suitcase and run away overnight.
Now I'm suddenly looking forward to taking care of my grandchildren... It's like I've gotten old without even realizing it.
Just as she finished her remark, the smile on Wang Xiaoxia's lips suddenly froze.
Chen Guanglin sent me a video link.
Upon clicking, she saw a girl running out of the school.
She didn't even need to look closely; just by her running posture and the way her ponytail swayed, she knew it was her daughter.
I saw a DY headline again: "The first female academic star to hand in her paper and leave the exam room early."
My blood pressure went up.
They're even handing in their papers early?
Every year when I see students like this in videos, I can't help but think to myself, "What an amazing kid!"
Now that this has happened to her own child, she just feels like hitting someone.
The college entrance exam only happens once, wouldn't it be better to check your work more thoroughly? Do you even know how many points a single multiple-choice question is worth?
But that wasn't the end of it; what Chen Mo said in the subsequent interview was truly outrageous. Just as she was trying to catch her breath, she suddenly saw Liang Zhirou and Chen Lu appear in the frame as well.
One of them not only handed in his paper early, but was also shouting for some kind of reinforcement... Yasuo, while the other was talking nonsense about being blind and unable to hear.
Wang Xiaoxia felt like she was about to faint from anger.
How did you end up with two such unruly children?
Although Zhi Rou is not very talkative in front of strangers, at least she is well-behaved, right?
Before she could even speak, WeChat message notifications started ringing one after another.
Looking at the family group chat, which includes all sorts of relatives, many people have already started discussing it.
"The Chen family has finally made a name for themselves! Thumbs up! Thumbs up!"
"Oh my, your wife is so beautiful! I'm so envious. @Wang Xiaoxia @Chen Guanglin"
"Chen Lu is such a lucky guy!"
"It's been two or three years since I last saw him, and my cousin is still as silly as ever, hahaha."
"Could our family really produce a top scorer in the college entrance exam? Even just one subject would be great. I remember Xiao Mo won an award in the physics competition, right?"
Relatives can be distant or close, and even within a group of people, the focus can vary.
Those who are more distant from Chen Mo are mostly concerned about his college entrance exam results. Whether their tone is one of anticipation or anxiety is unknown. If Chen Mo really gets good results, we can't tell.
Anyone who was even slightly close to her was completely drawn to this so-called 'Sister-in-law Chen Mo,' who was also 'Chen Lu's girlfriend.'
Many older people have this mentality: marrying a beautiful wife means that their son is very capable, and the whole family will be proud.
Clang!
Wang Xiaoxia's phone was suddenly thrown onto the coffee table, sliding off the surface to the edge.
Chen Lu gasped, secretly pushing his phone, which was about to fall off the cliff, further inside. Liang Zhirou, who had nothing to do with the incident, acted like a startled deer, constantly clinging to Chen Lu's side.
"Mom..." Chen Mo unconsciously swallowed.
The living room remained quiet.
Once bitten, twice shy, Chen Lu was now too afraid to care about the consequences. He pulled Liang Zhirou, who was sitting next to him, over and made her sit on his lap.
Liang Zhirou was startled and quickly whispered to him, "What are you doing... Uncle and Aunt are here."
"If you don't want to be a widow, then sit down." Chen Lu said in a very small voice, but with a shouting tone.
The girl remained still, sitting obediently on his lap. At the same time, she tried her best to maintain a posture that appeared intimate but not vulgar.
"Chen Mo, come here." Wang Xiaoxia pointed to Chen Mo's room.
Oh dear, they don't even call me by my nickname anymore.
Seeing that it seemed like he wasn't involved, Chen Lu happily began to explain.
Chen Mo shuddered and quickly turned to Chen Lu, "Brother, where are the two get-out-of-jail-free cards I gave you? Quick! Give me one."
"I didn't bring it, I can't help you, little sister. I can't carry that thing with me every time I go home, can I?" Chen Lu put one arm around Liang Zhirou's slender waist, and spread his other hand out, looking very regretful.
This person actually asked someone who desperately wanted her dead for a get-out-of-jail-free card; they don't seem very bright.
In other words, he now needs Chen Mo's help, and he's not quite sure if she's as 'loyal' as she claims, otherwise Chen Lu would already be mocking her.
"Mom, I might be able to get into Yuhang University."
“I want to work during the summer vacation and give all the money to my family because I feel that I have grown up.”
"mom......"
Chen Mo racked her brains trying to figure out a way to get Wang Xiaoxia to spare her life, but she was gently pulled back to the room.
The real culprit behind the whole thing, Chen Guanglin, gently ruffled his hair a couple of times, picked up a teacup, and went into the kitchen to get busy, keeping his achievements hidden.
Chen Lu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that Director Chen had truly mastered the art of using someone else to do one's dirty work.
Liang Zhirou stared at the closed door, her eyes filled with worry.
"Stop looking. Chen Mo is a grown man. He can't possibly be beaten until he cries like a baby."
