Chapter 7
Song Youran's mood worsened again.
Wen Chu suspected that Song Youran let go of his ear that night, and he opened his eyes too quickly, which made Song Youran angry.
Song Youran stared blankly out the car window, as if a dark cloud was hanging over her head.
After getting off the car, Song Youran walked in front and Wen Chu lagged behind by two steps.
Xie Xueruo came out of the villa and greeted them.
Song Youran looked listless and didn't seem to want to talk.
When Xie Xueruo came this time, in addition to instructing Song Youran to stay in the villa tomorrow and wait for the tutor to come, she also wanted to take Wen Chu to meet Song Hongtao.
Song Hongtao has some time in the evening.
Xie Xuerou brought Wen Chu to the company, handed him over to Secretary Cen, and went to her own office downstairs. After Song Hongtao met with Wen Chu, Secretary Cen would send him back.
Wen Chu sat on the sofa in the reception area, his hands folded on his legs, watching Song Hongtao handle his work.
Song Hongtao is very busy and never gets tired of it.
He spoke the command in a negotiating tone, tapping his fingers lightly on the sandalwood table with a smile on his lips.
No one could question him in his kingdom; he was always sure of victory, and those around him took his words as gospel.
Wen Chu believed that Xie Xueruo's cold and arbitrary temperament came from him. He influenced Xie Xueruo, and Xie Xueruo influenced Song Youran.
Song Youran said that she wanted to be a living person, to move her heart as she pleased, to cry and laugh as she pleased, but in this kingdom, this was so difficult.
Song Hongtao ended the video conference, turned his chair, and waved to Wen Chu: "Achu, come here."
Wen Chu walked to the back of the desk and stood in front of Song Hongtao.
Song Hongtao is over sixty, and even with proper skincare, his skin struggles to maintain moisture and elasticity. His dry fingertips brushed aside the strands of hair on Wen Chu's forehead, lingering on the slightly upturned corners of his eyes.
"What do you want to eat for dinner?" Song Hongtao asked him.
"Anything is fine." Wen Chu said, and then added: "I'm not picky about food."
Song Hongtao laughed, shook Wen Chu's hand, and took him downstairs in the elevator.
"Child, it's not that you're not picky about food, but the food served to you has already been screened."
Song Hongtao took Wen Chu to a members-only private restaurant. The lobby was quiet and the bright moon could be seen in the sky through the open bamboo curtains.
Wen Chu sat cross-legged in front of the tea couch, pinching the edge of the hot tea bowl with his middle finger and thumb, and pressing down the lid with his index finger. The fragrant tea trickled into the fairness cup.
She put down the teacup, her fingertips slightly red, smelled the good tea, and made an inviting gesture to Song Hongtao.
Seeing that he was moving at a leisurely pace, Song Hongtao felt relieved. He picked up the teacup, sniffed it, took another sip, and said, "I'm going to Country G tomorrow and will stay there for a few days. If you have any gifts you want, Grandpa can bring them back for you."
Wen Chu tightened his fingers on the tea towel.
"Grandpa, can you let my uncle continue to attend cram school?"
Song Hongtao put down his teacup and asked, "Did your uncle ask you to come and beg for mercy?"
Wen Chu shook his head.
Song Hongtao said, "Since your uncle didn't ask for your help, you shouldn't interfere. Secretary Xie has her own considerations on how to discipline your uncle."
Wen Chu still shook his head: "Uncle is unhappy."
He didn't understand why Song Hongtao ignored Song Youran. Song Youran was his only son, shouldn't he hold Song Youran in his arms and cherish him?
Song Hongtao did not continue the topic, but talked about Song Lan: "Your aunt broke her promise and insisted on marrying your uncle-in-law. Over the years, your uncle-in-law's business has not improved. They were embarrassed to ask for help, so they said that they would let Chen Feng come to accompany me this summer vacation.
"Achu, what do you think grandpa should do?"
Song Hongtao meant that there were many heirs and he was not the only one.
Wen Chu's fingers loosened the tea towel and rested it loosely on the edge of the table: "When summer vacation starts, I will go to the company to study."
Song Hongtao stood up, patted his shoulder, and looked down at him: "This is more like me." He smiled and said, "G country's camera is pretty good. Grandpa will bring it back for you when the time comes, okay?"
Wen Chu's face was wooden: "Thank you, Grandpa."
Xie Xueruo sent Wen Chu to the door of the villa, but did not go in and drove away directly.
Wen Chu stood in the yard and looked up to see that the light was still on in the window of Song Youran's room.
The next morning, Wen Chu went downstairs to have breakfast. The tutor had already arrived and was helping Song Youran with her homework in the living room.
After Teacher Yin finished explaining a big question to Song Youran, he picked out a few similar questions for Song Youran to practice. Then he sat on the sofa next to her and picked up the water cup on the coffee table.
The boy who had come down from upstairs earlier returned to the corridor and stared at them without blinking.
Teacher Yin smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
The boy pointed to the single sofa in the corner and said, "I want to sit over there and read a book."
Teacher Yin agreed: "Go ahead."
In fact, the living room is not a good place for teaching, with people coming and going, and Song Youran's posture of lying on the coffee table while doing homework looks like he is playing. However, Song Youran refused Teacher Yin to teach in his room, claiming that it is a private area and involves privacy. He also said, "Teacher, it is enough for me to teach you the knowledge in the book, don't interfere too much."
Today's students are more difficult to teach than each other because they have too many personalities.
Song Youran has a bad attitude, but she is not naughty.
Wen Chu read books seriously, and Teacher Yin saw at a glance that he had potential for development.
I walked over and asked softly, "What book are you reading?"
Wen Chu closed the book, revealing the cover, and said in a flat voice, "After I entered the book, I gave birth to three children for the villain."
Teacher Yin: “…”
Song Youran, who was doing the questions, frowned. He read very quickly. It wasn't this book last time.
Mr. Yin is in his thirties and still unmarried, and he only has a half-girlfriend—he had a date he liked, but she's still considering it. This teenager is already reading about having children. Is he too out of touch, or are kids these days just too advanced?
Teacher Yin: "Will reading this kind of book affect your studies?"
The boy was naive yet cruel: "How can reading affect studying?"
Teacher Yin sighed: "Doesn't your mother care about you?"
He thought the boy was Xie Xueruo's other child. Since Xie Xueruo hired a tutor for her eldest son, there was no reason for her to leave her younger son alone.
Teacher Yin: "Doesn't your mother know that you read this kind of book?"
Teenager: "My mother doesn't care about me, I take care of myself."
Teacher Yin’s world collapsed. This was too biased. No wonder the child looked so dazed at first glance.
Turning to look at Song Youran, Teacher Yin mentally criticized: "Parents can't treat their children equally; the children will suffer." The older brother's hot temper and the younger brother's submissive nature are damaging to both children.
Teacher Yin looked at Wen Chu again, as if he was looking at a bunch of cabbages in the field: "What grade are you in?"
Wen Chu answered.
Teacher Yin exclaimed, "You are the older brother?"
It doesn’t feel like it!
The older brother looks more childish than his younger brother, with round cheeks and soft hair resting on his forehead, like a white and soft glutinous rice ball.
Glutinous Rice Dumpling's expression is quite intimidating. He never smiles and speaks in a very strict manner, but there is a soft and stringy tone in his voice.
Song Youran couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she put down her pen and said, "Teacher, I'm done, come over and check it.
"Don't keep talking to my nephew."
Teacher Yin: “…”
On the second day, Teacher Yin took the initiative to invite Wen Chu to come over and read a book.
He not only gave two test papers to Song Youran, but also gave two test papers to Wen Chu.
Song Youran was quite speechless, but didn't say anything.
Under Teacher Yin's earnest gaze, Wen Chu picked up the pen, spent half an hour finishing the test paper, sat back on the sofa, and opened the book on his lap.
After correcting the papers, Teacher Yin held the red pen in silence for a long time.
Song Youran sneered beside him: "Teacher, just keep me under control. I'm a genius."
Teacher Yin refused to believe it and came with the top-secret version of the test paper five days later.
He didn't mean to embarrass Wen Chu; he just thought the logic didn't make sense. According to Song Youran, his nephew spent all his time reading, besides eating, drinking, and sleeping, and never opened his textbooks.
Even if a genius doesn't need a teacher, he still has to learn on his own. It's impossible that he really traveled through time with his memories.
After checking the test paper, Teacher Yin made a new discovery.
"How much have you learned in the new school year?"
"I've finished learning."
"all?"
"all."
Teacher Yin is emo.
"In that case, why don't you try harder and go one step further."
"Haste makes waste. You have to be moderate in what you do. That's what my grandfather said."
Wen Chu said indifferently with that childish face, "Grandpa said that studying is enough. I won't do research in the future. It's useless to study too deeply."
Teacher Yin was speechless, then recovered and said, "Does your grandfather know that you read this kind of book?"
I just can't get along with books!
"Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't." Wen Chu said seriously, "These are all trivial matters to him."
Teacher Yin made a final effort: "There are many types of novels on the market. You can read some useful ones."
Wen Chu pointed at a line of words on the page: "It says 'one man's honey is another man's poison'. This book may be useful to teachers, but useless to me.
"Besides, when I grow up I won't have time to read. Then I might do the same as my teacher, categorizing books into different levels and labeling them as useful or useless."
Wen Chu sincerely believes that people's thoughts change with age, while Teacher Yin believes that Wen Chu is playing tricks on him.
Five days later, Teacher Yin came to the villa again. He no longer spoke to Wen Chu and devoted himself to tutoring Song Youran with her homework.
After finishing a day of tutoring, Song Youran walked Teacher Yin to the door and asked, "Teacher, will you come again next week?"
Song Youran will take the entrance examination next week, and after that, his summer vacation will begin.
Teacher Yin said, "It depends on Ms. Xie's arrangements."
Song Youran suddenly smiled. "Teacher, you must be very frustrated. You can tutor me, but not my nephew. Actually, it's okay. Not everyone can teach a genius. A person should have self-awareness. Tell me, teacher, am I right?"
Teacher Yin's lips trembled, his face turned pale, and his self-esteem was shattered.
He took back what he had said before. Song Youran was more naughty than any other child he had ever met.
After the entrance examination, Song Youran returned to cram school.
Teacher Yin didn't come. He said to Xie Xueruo, "My ability is limited. I dare not delay your child."
Song Youran smiled happily after hearing the news.
But happy days are often short-lived. Not long after, the test results came out, and Song Youran's score was far from enough to get into Shiwai School.
Xie Xueruo finally discovered Song Youran’s plan. He failed the exam on purpose!
Xie Xueruo stood in the middle of the room, her chest heaving violently, but her voice was exceptionally soft. She asked Song Youran why.
Song Youran replied, "I'm going to Jiangbei to study."
Xie Xueruo didn't mention Song Youran's wish at all. "I'll find a way to use my connections to get you into Shiwai. I hope you'll study hard during the summer vacation and strive to get good grades on the entrance exam."
Song Youran caught up with Xie Xueruo and said, "I'm not going to Shiwai, I'm going to Jiangbei!"
Xie Xueruo's face was as cold as frost: "Song Youran, don't be willful."
Song Youran stood there in a daze. After Xie Xueruo went downstairs, he slammed the door with a loud bang.
The servant shook his head sadly at Wen Chu who came back from school.
Wen Chu thought that the Song family had a cooperation with the High-tech Zone in Jiangbei, and it would not be difficult to find a good school in Jiangbei with the financial and material resources of the Song family.
The Song family can solve Song Youran's predicament, but the Song family is also the root cause of Song Youran's predicament.
Wen Chu now felt that Song Youran was a bird in a cage, yearning for the blue sky, and bumping into the cage from time to time, until his head was bleeding and his body was covered with wounds. He neither admitted defeat nor accepted his fate and picked up the food thrown into the cage.
There is backbone, but not much.
