The family enjoyed a harmonious lunch together, and Nan XiangWan once again showcased her astonishing appetite.
Her mother was truly shocked by her eating prowess, as she rarely ate at ho.
Xin Zi: "Xiao Wan, should we go to the hospital and get you checked?"
Nan Song: "Have you checked your blood sugar?"
Nan ChaoYang, however, seed indifferent. "That's just how she is, she's like this every day."
Dad and Mom weren't interested in entertainnt news, but little brother always kept up with it.
It's not strange to have a big al, but it's terrifying to have a big al every ti!
Nan ChaoYang was initially shocked too, but later got used to it. After all, his sister didn't seem like she was suffering from any serious illness.
It's just that she has a high energy expenditure, nothing can be done about it.
Xin Zi: "Do you eat this much at night too, Xiao Wan?"
Nan XiangWan burped after her full al. "It depends on the afternoon training."
Xin Zi understood and imdiately said, "No training today, Mom and Dad have sothing to discuss with both of you this afternoon."
Nan XiangWan replied, "Then I'll eat only half of my lunch."
Nan Song added, "That's still a lot..."
Nan ChaoYang interjected, "You're insatiable."
Nan XiangWan challenged, "Are you asking for trouble?"
Nan ChaoYang clarified, "I ant , I'm insatiable!"
After lunch, they rested for a while.
At two o'clock, Nan Song called his two children over, and the family of four sat in the living room.
The parents sat in the middle, with Nan XiangWan and Nan ChaoYang each sitting on one end of the small sofa.
Xin Zi, accustod to it, sat with a straight back the whole ti.
Nan XiangWan, even more so, sat with perfect posture!
Under Nan Song's long-term guidance, he also sat up straight.
Seeing everyone sitting so upright, even Nan ChaoYang, who was leaning earlier, straightened his back.
What was this all about?
Xin Zi was the first to speak, "After today, the two of you will officially beco adults."
Nan XiangWan and Nan ChaoYang nodded in unison.
Xin Zi continued, "There is a big difference between being an adult and a minor. You will have independent rights and obligations as adults. Do you know what they are?"
Nan ChaoYang thought for a mont, "Taking care of our parents?"
Nan Song tapped the armrest of the sofa and said, "You will have the rights to life, health, na, image, reputation, honor, and privacy."
Xin Zi added, "Your dad and I don't expect you to take care of us, but I hope you understand your duty to protect the country. Do you understand?"
Nan ChaoYang imdiately replied seriously, "I understand!"
Nan XiangWan didn't speak, but her eyes revealed eagerness.
Nan Song sighed, "Once you beco adults, we won't interfere in your lives anymore. You'll have to rely on yourselves for everything, especially you, Nan ChaoYang. Whether it's playing gas or basketball, your mom and I won't ddle anymore."
Nan ChaoYang was montarily stunned. Did happiness co so suddenly?
Then, Nan Song took out a thick stack of docunts. "Co here and sign these."
Nan XiangWan asked, confused, "???"
Nan ChaoYang also wondered, "???"
Nan Song explained, "Each of you will have three properties. Tomorrow, we'll go through the property transfer process. Just sign your nas first."
Nan ChaoYang couldn't contain his excitent and jumped forward. "Dad, which three properties are you giving ?"
Nan XiangWan, on the other hand, was shocked. Oh my, Dad is truly generous, giving houses as birthday gifts!
Nan Song spread out six sets of docunts. "For ChaoYang, there's a large flat in the park, a detached villa in Ouqian, and a private house in the city."
Nan Song: "For Wanwan, there's an estate by the Taihu Lake, a standalone villa by the lotus pond, and a private residence in the city."
The properties they acquired had a similar total value, but there was a stark difference in size between the spacious flat in the residential area and the Taihu Lake estate. However, their prices were the sa.
In such a pri location where every inch of land was precious, a 500-square-ter spacious flat had a staggering price!
This was a decision made by Nan Song after careful consideration. His son and daughter had different paths in life. His son would get married and find a girlfriend, so having a property in the residential area was more desirable.
His daughter, on the other hand, had a different situation. Her career was based outside of the bustling tropolis and she would only visit Suzhou City occasionally for vacations and family gatherings. It would be better to give her a scenic property instead of a crowded location.
The estate was situated by the Taihu Lake, with a small scenic pond connected to it. They could fish and even take their own yacht out.
It was perfect for a vacation!
Nan Song had thought through everything and quickly moved out his most valuable six properties.
Nan XiangWan and Nan ChaoYang both signed the docunts rapidly, although they were surprised by the sheer number of signatures required. They had to sign their nas almost every few pages.
They even had to sign on the side?
For each signature, three copies were needed, and Nan XiangWan's hand almost cramped up!
When Gouzi gave gifts, everything was taken care of through internal procedures without the need for signatures. Nan XiangWan didn't know what kind of power Gouzi had that allowed him to skip this complicated process.
But when it ca to the properties gifted by their father, they were overwheld by the procedures. Both siblings were left bewildered!
After a lot of effort, they finally finished signing everything, but it took them an hour and a half.
They were sweating profusely from signing, and Xin Zi even brought them two glasses of water in the middle of it all.
Nan ChaoYang was the most excited; he had suddenly beco rich overnight!
After he finished signing, he flopped onto the sofa and excitedly trembled his legs.
Nan XiangWan, on the other hand, behaved more obediently and said, "Thank you, Dad."
Nan Song's eyes welled up with emotion, but when he looked at his son shaking his leg on the sofa, he suddenly felt a surge of anger.
Nan ChaoYang imdiately realized his mistake and sat up straight, saying, "Thank you, Dad!"
Nan Song rolled his eyes and said, "You're an adult now, so I won't beat you."
Xin Zi looked at both of them and said, "Alright, now it's ti for Mom's gift."
Nan ChaoYang eagerly stepped forward and began acting obediently, saying, "Thank you, Mom."
Xin Zi took out a docunt and said, "Nan ChaoYang, I've enrolled you in the 'Red Hunter' program. Make good use of this opportunity. Only the strong can participate in this training. I used my connections to get you in, of course, you won't be a trainee, but rather an intern. You'll train with them and learn from the best!"
She continued with a smile, "Now, what does being an intern an? It ans that others will train you while you train them, you'll cook and do their laundry when they rest. Got it?"
Nan ChaoYang: "????"
Nan XiangWan: "Hahaha!"
Xin Zi said, "Nan XiangWan, don't laugh, your turn will co sooner or later."
And not as a trainee, but as an official mber of the special operations team!
Nan ChaoYang was utterly shocked and said, "Mom! Is this the coming-of-age gift you're giving ? But I still have to go to school!"
Xin Zi: "Don't worry, it won't affect your schooling. Do you know what the 'Red Hunter' is? It's the most powerful special forces training in China! Modeled after foreign hunter schools, it's a unique and intense training program in China. Once it starts, life and death beco unpredictable! Just you wait! One day, while you're sleeping, you might be kidnapped and taken away on a helicopter. When you wake up, you'll be faced with life and death choices!"
Life and death beco unpredictable? Kidnapped?
Nan ChaoYang was imdiately panicked!
While other officers' parents use their connections to pave the way for their children, doing everything to prevent them from suffering, his mother, on the other hand, used connections to send him off to risk his life?
Nan ChaoYang rushed forward, "Mom! I'm your own son!"
Xin Zi kicked him away with one foot and then looked at her daughter, Nan XiangWan.
Nan XiangWan stood up straight, "Here!"
Xin Zi smiled, a glimr of pride in her eyes. "Very well, Mom can't give you any substantial gifts, but there's only one blessing I have for you: protect yourself no matter when or where. Understand?"
Nan XiangWan's softest spot was touched, and she nodded, "I understand, Mom."
Nan ChaoYang said, "Huh?"
His sister didn't receive a gift from Mom?
Mom only gave him a coming-of-age gift, although it was hardly different from a punishnt.
But, you know what? He had it, and his sister didn't.
Nan ChaoYang was happy!
As he watched his son smiling foolishly, Xin Zi shook her head. This kid really was a fool.
