"Central Secondary University? Then your daughter must be very intelligent and studious and here is my son. Wasting ti in god knows what gas….I doubt whether he will pass high school or not."
Aunt Chang shot a look at her son who was sitting by her side. Her anger increased more when he didn't even raise his head from the phone. She hit the back of his head with her hand. A loud 'Uh' echoed in the dining room and Mo Roulan , who was having her al silently, almost rolled her eyes already knowing what her mother's words after this.
Lin Qianru waved her hand humbly although she was feeling very proud in her heart.
"No, Roulan doesn't study much. You see…. I have seen her preparing for the exam. She just has a very mind-blowing mory."
Mo Roulan could almost feel Aunt Chang's gaze that was full of admiration and his son's that was full of hatred. It had been a week since they have moved to City H. According to her, till now almost all the people in the neighborhood know that she topped the College Entrance Examination and was going to attend Central University. All thanks to her mother. Whenever she goes outside to stroll in the neighborhood, the teenagers will look at her with different-different emotions. So would look at her as if she was their inspiration; so would have envy in their eyes while others would give her a look as if she was their enemy.
Yesterday in the morning, a young boy looked at her as if he wanted to beat her to the pulp. She shivered and shook her head vigorously to wipe out that look from her brain.
Aunt Chang and his son finished their al. Aunt Chang praised her mother for her cooking skills. After about fifteen minutes, the house finally gained its silence. Mo Chen was sleepy so Lin Qianru put him on his bed. He also had to attend school in the morning. Mo Roulan wanted to co alone in the beginning because she felt that Mo Chen will have difficulty adjusting to City's school studies and environnt. But Little Mo Chen insisted to co saying that as long as he can live with her jiejie he can adjust anywhere. Helpless Mo Roulan could only see her mother enthusiastically admitting him to a new school.
She let out a yawn and lied on the bed. The next day, Colleges were going to start. Soon sleep consud Mo Roulan and at so mont, she felt a soft kiss on her forehead bringing a small smile on her sleeping face.
The morning breeze welcod the new day in City S. Inside a large building, there was an office on the top floor. A man entered inside the office with a phone that was ringing nonstop in his hands.
"Boss, your phone is ringing for quite a long ti now."
The man whom he called the boss had his back facing him. He was standing in front of the large glass window watching the city from it. His body excluded a manly charm and he has an indifferent and cold aura around him. He turned around and his ice-cold blue eyes glanced at his assistant Chu Feng then his gaze stopped at the phone in his hands. Although a year had already passed since Chu Feng had started working for his boss, he still shivered under those ice-cold blue eyes.
In the silent cabin, only the phone's ringing could be heard. After one whole minute, the man finally walked towards his assistant. Chu Feng imdiately handed him the phone.
The man slid the screen to answer the call. An anxious and panicked voice sounded in the cabin through the phone.
"Young Master, Master is in the hospital. I don't know what happened suddenly but he …..he started to have pain in his chest suddenly. Young Master, please co to City H as fast as you can. Ah….No...No, Co by tomorrow. Young Master, please arrive by tomorrow? "
His last question was full of hesitation.
Few seconds passed and no one answered his question. When he was about to open his mouth to start a long round of one-sided talk again, a low 'Hm' sounded through the phone, and the phone was hanged up.
"Have Lu Yunfan handle all the work for the next two days. You can leave now."
The assistant, Chu Feng imdiately responded to the given order and took his leave from there.
On the other side, a new scene was unfolding. Standing by his master's side, the butler was still looking at the phone in disbelief.
"What happened? What did he say?"
The voice belonged to an old man of around seventy years who was currently sitting on the hospital bed leaning comfortably on the pillow.
The butler ca out of his stupor and replied to his master.
"Young Master is coming tomorrow."
The old man's face that was full of tension broke out in a cheerful smile. The butler was afraid that his lips will split apart because of how wide he was smiling. But the old man was now busy bragging about how he fooled his grandson.
"Lao Tzu knew that the stinky grandson of mine still cares about . Didn't I tell you, Old Zhang?"
The butler passes a tight smile to his Master. Turning around, he rolled his eyes while the old man continued to talk about how 'loved' he was. He doubted that Young Master was coming because he cared for the old man. Maybe he already knows that the old man was lying. It was fine if he already knew and still agreed to co to City H. But if Young Master didn't know..... The butler shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat. From the corner of his eye, he glared at the old man. It was he who forced to let out a mouthful of lies. If worst cos to worst, he will abandon the old man to deal with the danger alone.
While the old man who was still bragging suddenly turned around to look at his butler as if he could feel his glare. The butler was looking at him as if hearing with concentration whatever he was talking about. He dismissed his thought and started talking again leaving the butler with his disloyal thoughts.
