Chapter 546: Chapter 481: A Historic eting?
"..."
Goodness, you really know how to solve problems.
After listening to his brother’s genius-level problem-solving process, Leon’s mouth twitched uncontrollably like it had a spasm.
If you can’t figure out how to arrange the carriages, just jump out of the problem and study how to increase the number of carriages. Then you can arrange them however you like, right?
This problem-solving approach... how to say it... is very William.
His brother’s mind seems never to be confined by any constraints, always ignoring those confusing details and cutting straight to the core of the issue.
No matter what the problem or question is, solve it if you can, and if not, solve the person who made it. Whether the process goes off track is not within his consideration range; just tell him if the problem is solved, and that’s all that matters.
...
"Well... it’s not exactly wrong."
Seeing Anna grinding her teeth in anger, Leon had to comfort:
"Although the solution thod is a bit off, the flexible thinking is comndable. We shouldn’t... uh... rush to stifle their potential... and they are still young, after all. Once they grow older, they might not scribble impulsively."
They won’t scribble impulsively, but they might start acting outright!
Facing his apparently lenient brother who couldn’t bear to punish the kids, Anna couldn’t help but stomp her foot, then said rather angrily:
"And what about lanie?"
lanie didn’t get it right either?
Upon hearing Anna’s words, Leon, who was about to unlock the door, couldn’t help but turn around, sowhat surprised:
"Isn’t lanie good at math? I rember the teacher praised her as a genius. Didn’t she answer this question?"
"She answered it correctly, and her test paper was full marks."
Anna replied helplessly:
"She didn’t even write out the process; she glanced at it and wrote down the answer. She finished the two-hour test in 5 minutes, then started helping others cheat for a fee, even developing a kind of... a kind of code, knocking answers with the pen on the desk.
In her exam room, apart from William who failed, every other kid got full marks in math. This brat made 9 Silver Wheels of pocket money by helping others cheat!"
"..."
"Moreover, to avoid being caught, she lent all the money out as soon as the exam ended. She signed contracts with 9 kids in the class, agreeing they will repay with snacks and toys over the next year, and she didn’t even forget to calculate 4% interest!"
Ah, this... is far more severe than William’s case, even his brother can’t protect her here, so better take the punishnt!
After hearing lanie’s equally outrageous actions, Leon, having entered the house, put William down, looked back at lanie, and said helplessly:
"Big brother got off work early today, so I’m not very tired. How about skipping the shoulder massage?"
"Please, Big Brother!"
Seeing Leon was ready to let it slide, lanie’s face crumpled, and she said tearfully:
"My pocket money got deducted too much, so I thought I’d earn so snacks... I know I was wrong, I promise this is the last ti I’ll help anyone cheat, I swear I won’t do it again, if I do, let Anna smash my butt!"
"No need for ’if’, I’ll smash your butt this ti!"
"Waaaah!"
"..."
This holiday is really lively...
Watching Anna, with lanie draped over her knees, smacking her butt, Leon couldn’t help but shake his head. After Anna gave about a dozen smacks, he spoke:
"By the way, Emma’s daughter will be attending Bridge Public School soon too."
"Little Ellie?"
Upon hearing Leon’s words, Anna stopped her actions, put away her anger, and exclaid with surprise:
"I thought she was unwell and needed plenty of rest? She can go to school now?"
"Yeah, little Ellie is almost fully recovered."
Giving lanie a quick wink to signal her to run when she could, Leon replied:
"You know, she hasn’t really interacted with kids of her age before, and she’s quite timid. So I thought of placing her in the sa class as lanie and William.
With two familiar friends around, Ellie should be able to integrate into the class more quickly. Plus, having William and lanie to look after her, we don’t need to worry about her being bullied."
"..."
Isn’t it only about not being bullied?
Upon hearing Leon’s words, Anna couldn’t help but glance at him.
With these two Demon Lords of Mayhem watching over, forget being bullied by peers; if little Ellie wanted to bully the teacher, it probably wouldn’t be too hard.
For such a well-behaved child, the most dangerous peers are precisely these two little devils at ho. It feels like hanging out with these two brats might lead her astray quite a bit.
"Brother."
Reaching this point, Anna couldn’t help but call out to Leon, then inquired curiously:
"Are you telling
this so I can ntion it to the school when dropping lanie and the others off?"
"No need, I’ll go with you tomorrow."
Leon shook his head, then, a little apologetically, said:
"I’m telling you this because I hope you can take care of another child. I hope little Ellie can also co and live here."
"Huh?"
Anna blinked in disbelief:
"Brother? You want little Ellie to live with us?"
"Yes."
Leon nodded:
"You know, Emma’s job is the sa as mine, even busier. She often can’t make it ho.
Little Ellie had no other choice before, so she had to stay by herself at the estate. Now that she can go out, staying alone in that empty mansion would be too lonely...
Hmm? Your expression seems a bit strange. Is there a problem with taking in another child?"
"Not really... Little Ellie is a good kid, I certainly don’t mind her living with us, it’s just..."
Anna shook her head slightly, hesitant, then continued:
"Brother, have you talked about this with Veronica?"
"?"
"I an..."
Seeing Leon frowning, seemingly not grasping her question, Anna sighed, shooed lanie and William back into the room, then whispered with a flushed face:
"Aren’t you about to get married to Veronica? But there’s also sothing between you and Emma, aren’t you worried about conflicts between them?"
???
"Never mind the conflicts... Who said I’m getting married?"
"Huh? Aren’t you?"
Anna blinked, puzzled:
"That’s what the newspapers say. Also, Veronica ca by yesterday; she asked
if I’d be her bridesmaid."
"What? She ca by yesterday?"
"Yes, indeed."
Anna comnted as Leon reacted, surprised:
"She said she was here to discuss the wedding with you. Although she didn’t find you, she hired a new doctor for , bought new clothes for lanie, and even gifted William a whole set of books... Oh, by the way!"
At that point, Anna seed to recall sothing, her expression turning curious:
"When Veronica ca yesterday, William was doing his howork. After seeing his history howork, she first couldn’t help but laugh for a while, then pondered over it for a long ti, and finally borrowed a few of his old assignnts, saying she wanted to look at them at ho."
Borrowed a few old assignnts?
Upon hearing Anna’s words, Leon frowned in confusion.
Veronica is so busy, why would she be interested in a grade schooler’s howork? Even if she... wait?! William’s old assignnts? Isn’t it "Pan-Continent Unification Plan"?!
