Chen Lu was grinning mischievously when Liang Zhirou and Chen Muxue came out together. The mother and daughter both had their hair down, and they looked very similar at first glance.
Walking down the street, people could tell at a glance that they were mother and daughter, except that Chen Muxue always had droopy eyelids, unlike Liang Zhirou who was gentle and graceful.
"Dad, you know I got 706 on the exam, right?" Chen Muxue stretched and sat down, yawning as she spoke.
She checked her grades when she woke up a while ago, but they haven't come out yet.
"Holy crap!"
Before Chen Lu could even speak, Chen Yunqi, who was standing next to her, almost jumped up on the spot with excitement. He held her head in his hands and looked her over, as if trying to see what was different about her from normal people.
"So amazing!" Chen Yunqi exclaimed repeatedly, even considering treating his younger sister like a national treasure.
Chen Muxue looked at her brother as if he were an idiot, then glanced at Chen Lu. Chen Lu simply smiled and nodded, saying softly, "My daughter is so smart. Your mother said last night that you weren't her biological son."
"I...I didn't!" Liang Zhirou quickly denied, pouting and looking at him angrily.
Chen Muxue sighed softly to herself.
In stark contrast to his mother and brother, who were clearly very excited, Dad obviously didn't care...
I reckon if you ask her, she'll just say that as long as she and her brother don't do bad things and live happily, nothing else matters.
Chen Lu has always demanded this of them, and he has always acted accordingly.
This reduces pressure, but... it also reduces recognition.
She had never been praised by Chen Lu with such excitement before in her entire life.
Chen Muxue suddenly smiled, inwardly criticizing herself for becoming so sentimental.
"Have you two decided on a school yet?" Chen Lu asked curiously.
Chen Yunqi nodded seriously: "My sister and I have discussed it! We're going to Jiangcheng University. You and Mom can come and see the cherry blossoms then."
Chen Lu nodded slightly, "If Mu Xue wants to, she can apply to this school too. Anyway, the three of you have been playing together every day since you were little."
"I... I'll think about it later, I haven't decided yet."
With his son's decision settled, Chen Lu could take his time considering his daughter's grades and let her go wherever she wanted; he wasn't in a hurry at all.
If you have a dream, go to Tsinghua or Peking University. If you don't have such lofty ambitions, you can continue to hang out with your older siblings.
Just do what you want to do. If the sky falls, your father will take care of it.
After finishing his meal, he accompanied Liang Zhirou to the shop for a while before leisurely strolling back, thinking that he might see Xiao Baicai flirting with Xiao Zhu.
When he entered, Chen Yunqi was sitting in front of Liang Zhirou's computer drawing. He subconsciously glanced at the living room, but Chen Muxue and Jiang Nan were not there.
Why didn't your sister come looking for you?
Chen Lu was puzzled. Logically speaking, young couples of this age shouldn't be under pressure to achieve good results, so it's not surprising that they could have fun.
Why is that little cabbage not growing at all today?
I still remember when he and Liang Zhirou first got together, they would squeeze onto the sofa to watch a movie, and after it was over, they would wipe their drool without even knowing what the plot was.
This foolish son of his doesn't even invite Xiaobaicai out for a date; he's a disgrace to the Chen family.
"I went shopping with Mu Xue." Chen Yunqi stared intently at the screen, looking very focused.
"I thought I was going to ask you to do manual labor."
“My sister called me, and I can’t bear to part with her,” Chen Yun said without looking up.
Chen Lu said "Oh," went back inside to get two bank cards, and came out again—he had prepared them beforehand, with the same amount for both siblings.
He used to strictly control their allowances to teach them to control their desires. Fortunately, with Liang Zhirou as their mother setting a good example, neither of them grew up to be the spoiled brats he was most worried about, so there's no need for any restrictions in the future.
He stood in front of Chen Yunqi and cleared his throat forcefully.
"Well, you should know that your dad actually made a little money."
I've been thinking about this carefully lately. You're older now, you know what you should and shouldn't do, and you know that making money isn't easy..."
"Yes, Dad, I know!" Chen Yunqi proudly waved the paintbrush in his hand. "So I want to earn a living by painting, just like Mom did back then."
Chen Lu's pupils twitched twice. "Shouldn't a normal person think of asking their parents for more money? You should beg your dad properly; it's not that he can't give you more."
“You two have given me quite a lot, and you gave me several thousand more this morning... I will eventually have to earn my own living to support my family, so I'm just getting used to it now.”
Chen Yunqi chuckled to himself. He had experienced this feeling since junior high school when he was working and taking his sister out to play. Spending money he earned himself was hundreds of times more enjoyable than asking his parents for money.
"..."
Seeing his son's high spirits, Chen Lu felt it wouldn't be good to dampen his enthusiasm. After thinking about it, he put the bank card with a seven-figure deposit back into his pocket.
I was originally planning to give this kid a reward for passing the exam...
Fine, then go ahead and try to spend your sugar daddy's money to seduce his little cabbage.
As Chen Lu thought this to himself, Xiao Baicai was shopping at the mall with Chen Muxue.
The two girls were dressed casually, both in T-shirts and jeans, but their radiant faces and figures couldn't hide their beauty. They were eye-catching as they walked down the street, attracting frequent glances from passersby.
"You did so well on the exam, why are you still not very happy?" Jiang Nan asked, taking a couple of sips of her fruit tea.
To know how Liang Zhirou is feeling, you can look at her cheeks to see if they're puffed out. Chen Muxue is easy to understand too; just look at how droopy her eyelids are. Judging from how she's about to fall asleep right now, she's definitely in a bad mood.
This puzzled Jiang Nan greatly. If she were to get this score, she would dare to let Liu Yan serve her tea and water while she lay in bed watching "Empresses in the Palace" without moving an inch.
