Chapter 317: 317 Leaving the Capital Together
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhuang Liu had a long conversation with the old man in the study. Shen Jing waited anxiously outside and would come over from time to time to take a look. Why was her son still inside when everyone else was out? Did the old master keep him back to scold him?
After waiting for another fifteen minutes, Zhuang Liu came out of the study. Shen Jing hurried over to see if her son was okay before asking the old man why he kept him for so long.
Zhuang Liu comforted her, “Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine. I have another piece of good news to tell you. We can now leave the Capital together.”
Shen Jing did not understand what he meant. Seeing that she was in a daze, Zhuang Liu made himself clear. “You, me, and Dad. We can leave the Capital together.”
“Really?” Shen Jing was so shocked that she couldn’t believe it. “Did the Old Master agree?”
Zhuang Liu nodded. “Grandfather has already agreed to it. Let’s pack up and transfer Dad to another hospital as soon as possible.“
A relaxed smile appeared on Shen ling’s face. “Alright, I’ll do it now.”
The mother and son had just finished talking when Zhuang Liu’s third uncle came over again. He asked Zhuang Liu, “You and the Old Master talked for so long inside. What did you talk about?”
Zhuang Liu glanced at the study and smiled. “Third Uncle, if you want to know about it so badly, why don’t you ask Grandpa directly? Grandpa hasn’t left yet.”
Zhuang Liu’s third uncle was furious to hear that. If he dared to ask the old master, he would have done so long ago. Why would he ask Zhuang Liu here?
Shen Jing rolled her eyes at him and pushed her son out of the house. They were about to leave anyway, so they did not have to be afraid of him.
Zhuang Liu’s third uncle’s face turned dark. He instructed his subordinates, “Pay attention to Zhuang Liu and the old master’s movements at all times. Find out what they said in the study as soon as possible.”
He knew that the old master wanted to hand the Zhuang family over to Zhuang Liu the most, but Zhuang Liu was only a cripple who was about to die. What was the use of giving it to him?
Shen Jing pushed Zhuang Liu out of the Zhuang family’s old mansion. She felt that she could breathe smoothly, and the air was fresh. She felt delighted to see the birds in the trees and the flowers on the ground.
“Mom, you’re in a good mood.” Zhuang Liu didn’t need to look to know that his mother was in a good mood.
“Yes, 1 am.” Shen Jing smiled and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve felt so comfortable. There’s no one else to restrain us, and you don’t have to worry about your legs anymore. Everything is so wonderful.”
“Yes.” Zhuang Liu said calmly, “Our family will leave the Capital together.” He did not care much about his family, nor did he have many family values. However, from this moment on, he wanted to be a good son and run a family. Tan Rou had a blissful family. She was the one who had influenced him. He wondered what she was doing now.
It was already Friday, and the weekend was coming tomorrow.
“The physics competition is going to happen soon. I’m so nervous!” Li Li bit the pages of the book as she read. “Can I eat the book? Do you think the knowledge will enter my brain?”
“I won’t.” Tan Rou ruthlessly shattered her fantasy. “The paper you eat will only enter your stomach and turn into your poo.”
Li Li leaned on the table in frustration. “I’m so nervous.”
“Don’t be nervous. Just take it to slow.” Tan Rou comforted her.
“How about this?” Li Li said fawningly, “Help me revise it, and I’ll give you…” I’ll give you money! It just so happens that the stocks we bought made a lot of money.”
Tan Rou smiled and teased her, “How much are you going to pay me for it?”
Li Li was actually thinking about it seriously. “200 yuan per hour is too low. If it’s 500 yuan, I’m a little reluctant to part with so much money. How about…”
“No need.” Tan Rou said, “I didn’t even charge you when I taught you questions in the past. How could I possibly charge you now? Besides, I was the one who helped you earn your money. If I take it back, aren’t I just taking back my own money?”
“Actually, it’s only right for you to take it back,” Li Li said, a little embarrassed.
“It’s okay. I don’t need it. Pick a time and I’ll explain the questions to you.” Tan Rou said. She really treated Li Li as a good friend. Not everything could be measured with money. At least, her friendship with Li Li could not be measured with money.
“Saturday. I’ll prepare something delicious for you.” Li Li said happily.
“No.” Lu Qing happened to hear Li Li’s words and couldn’t help but stop her.
Li Li and Tan Rou looked at Lu Qing together. Li Li asked, “Why?”
“Uh…” Lu Qing wanted to say that Tan Rou had to go to his house to treat his grandfather’s illness, but since Tan Rou did not say it out loud, he could not say it directly. After thinking about it, he replied, “My house is bigger.. Why don’t you guys come over to my house for a group study?”
