Speaking of which, Xu Xuezi graduated from a well-known university in the Imperial Capital, although it wasn’t Dihua or Dibei, just another top-ranked university in the country.
Dihua and Dibei are not schools you can enter just because you want to. Even if you have strong connections, you might not get in. It’s really about ability.
If your ability is lacking, then saying anything else is pointless.
Listening to Xu Xuezi’s words, Su Xiaofeng’s red lips curled up faintly: "A lot of it is hard to understand now, but my Xiaoyan is a guaranteed student at Dibei. He’s now my tutor, so I think I can still try hard. I don’t expect to get into Dihua or Dibei, but getting into a regular university would be nice, at least I’d get in through my own efforts, right?"
Hearing her ambiguous and indifferent words, Xu Xuezi sneered: "If that’s your attitude, I advise you not to take the exam, because you probably won’t pass it if you try."
An indifferent attitude, showing no desire to want to go to university; with such an attitude, it’s surprising if you pass. It’s definitely just for show, to let Gu Yecheng or the Gu Family see.
Probably just to show, I tried but didn’t pass.
"Whether I take the exam is my own business, whether I pass is also my business. Whether I fail or beco a laughingstock, that’s also my business, isn’t it, Family Head of the n Family." Su Xiaofeng just smiled in response to Xu Xuezi’s words.
This kind of thing, it’s no wonder people look at her with colored glasses. This kind of thing never looks at the process, only the result. As long as the result is good, or unexpected, it can shut everyone’s mouth.
"This is the Young Madam’s own business, the Young Madam is right." n Chao echoed.
"The result isn’t important. What’s important is Xiaofeng’s intention. As long as she tries hard, that’s enough. To be honest, I don’t expect Xiaofeng’s education to be very high. Look at her now, she’s very capable, and I really like her." The old man of the Gu Family was supportive of Xiaofeng participating in the college entrance exam, but he didn’t put any pressure on her.
If she can pass, that’s great. If not, it’s nothing. Xiaofeng is already very good now, no need to decorate herself with education.
Since the old man of the Gu Family and n Chao both said so, Xu Xuezi naturally had no chance to say anything else, she just smiled and said: "I’m not saying that Xiaofeng definitely won’t pass. I’m saying that if Xiaofeng wants to pass, she definitely has to work harder than others."
"Thank you, I will certainly do my best." Xiaofeng smiled lightly.
"Old man of the Gu Family, we ca this ti to inquire about Grandpa. You just said that Grandpa’s condition requires hospitalization, so we cooperated and took him to the hospital. But as soon as we got to the hospital, Grandpa disappeared. Now you just say Grandpa is safe; isn’t that too vague?"
"Let’s put it this way, your grandpa woke up and begged us to protect him, saying soone was trying to harm him. I’ve been old friends with him for many years, he wasn’t safe at the Xu Family, so as an old friend, I wanted to protect him to prevent further harm. You ntioned earlier that soone wants to harm him, so the safest thing is for us to protect him." Of course, the old man of the Gu Family couldn’t say anything about Xu Lao wanting to turn himself in.
If this gets out, the forces in the shadows will definitely try their best to find Xu Lao.
n Chao’s sharp brows furrowed: "Did Grandpa really say that?"
"Of course, if he hadn’t agreed, would he have cooperated with us to disappear? So, your elder brother can rest assured, he will be fine. As for the outside world, as long as you don’t say anything, and our Gu Family doesn’t say anything, the outside world won’t know about your grandpa not being at the Xu Family."
"If this was really Grandpa’s own request, we certainly have nothing to say. But we’re afraid this is your plot, trying to use this to blackmail Grandpa or us, and then do so dirty things against the Xu Family." Xu Xuezi didn’t believe that the Gu Family had such good intentions.
"Even if we wanted to do sothing to the Xu Family, the one we should target is n Chao. Your grandpa no longer has any power in his hands, what could we possibly use him for to blackmail you?" Xiaofeng faintly curled her lips.
"We want to see Grandpa."
"It’s not possible right now."
"When will it be possible?"
"That’s hard to say too."
n Chao looked at the old man of the Gu Family: "I know your character well, if you say Grandpa’s condition is better, then it is better. We can forgo seeing Grandpa, can we at least talk to him on the phone? Hearing Grandpa’s voice, knowing he’s safe will put us at ease, right?"
"No problem with that request. You go back first; we’ll discuss it with your grandpa and if he agrees, he’ll be in touch. Just wait at ho." Such things as a phone call are trivial; they can let Xu Lao know later on.
"Then I’ll trouble you, old man of the Gu Family. Although I am now the head of the Xu Family, Grandpa is still the core, the Xu Family can’t do without him."
"It’s good that you think this way, rest assured, when it’s safe, he will co ho."
"This wine is indeed good, does the old man of the Gu Family have any extra? If there’s extra, could you spare so?" n Chao quite likes this rice wine, not too strong, sweet to the taste.
"You sure know your stuff. If you like it, it’s not impossible to give you so." The old man of the Gu Family laughed heartily: "This kind of wine, you can only drink here, nowhere else."
Hearing n Chao ask for Su Xiaofeng’s brewed rice wine, Xu Xuezi’s face imdiately changed, her hands pinching her flesh hard, holding back her ridicule.
In her heart, only one thought erged: n Chao really does have so interest in Su Xiaofeng.
"Thank you, old man of the Gu Family."
Leaving the Gu Family, Xu Xuezi looked at the bottle of rice wine in n Chao’s hand, unable to help but speak: "It seems that the intent between the wine lies not in the wine itself, but in the person brewing it. Husband, let remind you, you are now the son-in-law of the Xu Family, my husband. Plus, she’s a married woman, if deep down you have any unspeakable feelings, you better hide them."
"You’re overthinking it." n Chao responded coldly.
"I hope so."
The boy and girl twins from the Gu Family were returning from a trip just in ti, and spotted n Chao about to leave at the gate, Gu Xiaobao exclaid: "Isn’t that Uncle n?"
Upon hearing Gu Xiaobao’s voice, n Chao turned around.
"Uncle n, it’s really you." Xiaobao ran over.
"Gu Xiaobao." n Chao squatted down to look at her: "I ca to discuss sothing with your great-grandfather."
"Oh, I see, are you leaving now?" Gu Xiaobao glanced at Xu Xuezi sitting in a wheelchair, not knowing the person, and wasn’t very surprised by her appearance.
Mom said, different people and things shouldn’t be too shocking.
"Yes."
"Goodbye, Uncle n."
n Chao wanted to pat her head but found the Little One had already run off, still waving at him.
To Gu Xiaobao, n Chao was just an acquaintance, not close, greeting him was out of courtesy.
n Chao’s hand stayed hovering in the air.
All of this was naturally seen by Xu Xuezi.
It certainly ca with different connotations in Xu Xuezi’s eyes, n Chao not only liked Su Xiaofeng but also the child she bore.
n Chao stood up, glanced coldly at the servant behind Xu Xuezi: "I’ll take over."
The servant stepped back a few steps to let n Chao push the wheelchair.
"Husband, do you really like children? If so, let’s have one. I’m only paralyzed, but if you don’t want to do it with , I can help you find soone, as long as you like it."
Listening to her words, n Chao’s face turned colder: "I don’t want children for now, so don’t bother with that."
"It seems you quite like Su Xiaofeng’s daughter, I thought you liked children."
n Chao didn’t say anything further, he just stopped the wheelchair, walked to Xu Xuezi, stooped to pick her up, and placed her in the car.
Xu Xuezi closed her eyes, feeling the rare warmth.
It had been months since n Chao had been this close to her.
Xu Xuezi greedily clung to his neck, reluctant to let go once settled in the seat.
n Chao pretended not to see her little actions, made sure she was seated properly, and got in himself.
As in public, there were certain things to be cautious about.
"Husband, aren’t you worried about Grandpa’s safety?" Xu Xuezi asked n Chao.
"The old man of the Gu Family did make a good point, Grandpa might not be safe with the n Family." n Chao responded gently.
Xu Xuezi fell silent.
Sotis she couldn’t read n Chao. He seed ruthless, overtaking the Xu Family overnight. Yet now, his attitude was unfathomable again.
...
He Xiuze stood in front of a man in a long robe: "The Gu Family suddenly hid Xu Lao away, which must an Xu Lao’s illness has recovered, so the Gu Family wants to protect him."
"You must find Xu Lao quickly; without finding him, there’s always a hidden danger."
"The Gu Family is doing this secretively, deliberately hiding it from us, so it might be hard to find him in a short ti."
"I told you before to deal with the Xu person, but you kept delaying. Now it’s worse, the person is missing." The other party was visibly angry.
He Xiuze was silent for a while before finally saying, "I will definitely find a way to locate him quickly."
