Chapter 732
Fu Xiuyuan's sharp brows suddenly turned cold. He looked at Yue Lanchen, who was wearing an apron and carrying food, and glanced suspiciously at the living room.
"Yue Lanchen said he wanted to come over and cook for us to thank us," Shi Jin explained. "I didn't go into the kitchen. He did it alone."
Yue Lanchen:
There's no need to cut ties so clearly, is there?
Fu Xiuyuan's hatred for this child was not as deep now. However, when he thought of Madam Yue's cooking, his lips curled up slightly. "Is his food edible?"
"You'll know after trying. If it can't be eaten, get the chefs to make it again." Shi Jin really didn't know if Yue Lanshen's cooking could satisfy Fu Xiuyuan.
Fu Xiuyuan didn't have much hope for this. After washing his hands, he sat at the dining table, his expression as solemn as if he were going to war.
Yue Lanchen gave him and Shi Jin chopsticks.
Fu Xiuyuan picked up his chopsticks and frowned.
He recalled the dominating fear of Madam Yue's lotus
root wine.
Yue Lanchen was the first to pick up his chopsticks and start eating. "Ah, not bad. My culinary skills are improving."
Fu Xiuyuan didn't want to trust him. After all, he was a man who drank the lotus root wine without blinking.
Fu Xiuyuan watched as Shi Jin picked up a piece of beef roll with her chopsticks and ate it without batting an eyelid.
Then... he indeed believed that the difference between Yue Lanchen and Madam Yue were worlds apart.
By the time dinner was over, everyone was content.
Yue Lanchen had cooked quite a lot of dishes, but there wasn't much left in the bowls.
Fu Xiuyuan held the tea that Shi Jin had personally brewed and took a sip before commenting, "Not bad."
"Then I'll come again next time." Yue Lanchen immediately pushed his luck.
Fu Xiuyuan rolled his eyes at him but didn't object.
"I don't think we're that close?" Shi Jin spoke up.
"We'll get closer the more we hang out." Yue Lanchen was stubborn. He would do what he had set his mind on.
Shi Jin could not be bothered to continue stopping him.
Not long after, "Phoenix Tree" officially began wrapping up.
"Why so soon? Isn't the summer vacation not over yet? Didn't they say the movie would take three or four
months?" Yue Lanchen looked puzzled.
"Everyone filmed quickly and did their jobs well. We're wrapping up twenty days in advance." There was an indescribable pride in Liang Han's tone. "Isn't that good? Others can't wrap up early even if they want to."
Yue Lanchen scratched his head and sighed.
Shi Jin's scenes ended first. Her assistant and Yao Jiahong were already helping her pack her things.
"Then where am I going?" Yue Lanchen asked as he followed Shi Jin.
"Go study." Shi Jin patted his thick stack of books. "Otherwise, do you really want to keep moving equipment here?"
Yue banchen gripped the book and stood there, silent.
After packing up, Shi Jin greeted everyone and walked up to Yue Lanchen. "Your grandmother will arrange for someone to pick you up later. Go back early. Bye."
"Hey..." Yue Lanchen wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Shi Jin was already walking away.
The car that came to pick Yue Lanchen up arrived very quickly. It picked him up and took him to Old Madam Bai's place for a meal. Old Madam Bai held him back to talk before letting him go back.
When Yue Lanchen returned home, Madam Yue was busy cutting fruits for him. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Yue Lanchen said, "Mom, I want to take an independent exam. If I can get in, I'll go to university and study hard for a period of time. After that, I'll think about other things. This time, by following Shi Jin,
I've understood a lot. If I don't study hard, I might not be able to do anything in the future."
"Son!" Madam Yue looked at him repeatedly. "Did someone cross over and take over your body?"
He actually said that he would study hard!
One had to know that this child used to be most afraid of studying. Otherwise, his father would not have thought of sending him to Africa or the army to train.
Now, he actually took the initiative to say such a thing.
"Mom, I'm serious. I don't want to go back to tutoring anymore. I heard that some universities still have quotas when school starts. You can enter as long as your score crosses the line. Mom, help me ask."
Madam Yue's shock was obvious. She reached out and touched her son's forehead. "You don't have a fever?"
"Mom!" Yue Lanchen pushed her hand away.
Only then could Madam Yue confirm that her son had indeed changed!
He really wanted to study hard.
"Okay, I'll get in touch for you immediately! Any school, as long as you're willing to go to school."
"You don't have to set a school for me or give me a spot directly. I want to take the exam. If I don't succeed, I'll go back and repeat." Yue Lanchen's eyes were determined.
Madam Yue was so excited that her eyes turned red. "Okay, okay. I'll arrange it for you."
Yue Lanchen finally smiled.
Madam Yue had contacted a mid-tier university in the Imperial Capital and specially instructed the teacher to follow the normal procedures to let Yue Lanchen take the exam.
In order to not expose her identity, she even specially asked ordinary people to register for Yue Lanchen.
Although this surname Yue was not common, there were many people with this surname in the Imperial Capital, so the school did not suspect anything either. According to normal procedures, they provided Madam Yue with information. As long as Yue Lanchen provided the information and documents they asked for, he could take the exam.
After receiving the information, Yue Lanchen filled it in line by line and waited for the exam which was in more than half a month.
Madam Yue originally wanted to ask him what would happen if he failed, but she couldn't bring herself to after seeing how serious he was.
"Mom, help me submit this information." After Yue Lanchen handed it over, he lowered his head and studied the books seriously.
Madam Yue was very relieved.
Yue Lanchen encountered a difficult problem. After thinking for a while, he called Shi Jin on WeChat.
"What's wrong?" Shi Jin was sitting at the piano, her fingers braced against her cheek. She casually set her phone aside and held a pen in her right hand and seemed to be writing.
"I ran into a problem and wanted to ask you about it."
"Tell me." Shi Jin's tone was casual, as if nothing could stump her.
This little bit of nonchalance made Yue Lanchen envious and eager.
He moved the question closer to the camera.
Shi Jin glanced at it. "Well, to get the solution..."
She began to speak casually of formulas and conclusions.
Yue Lanchen was focused on taking notes when he saw someone at the door. He quickly turned over his phone.
"Lanchen, what are you doing?" Yue Xiu walked in.
She was Yue Lauchen's cousin and also the daughter of the current president. She was truly the daughter of a wealthy family.
Her facial features were slightly flat, but her makeup was appropriate and her actions were elegant. Every part of her body showed her sense of propriety.
"I heard from Auntie that you were about to take your exams, so I came to ask if you wanted tutoring. I can help you." Yue Xiu pulled up a chair and sat down.
She had done her schoolwork very well in the past, all the way to graduate school, and she was still getting her PhD. She was working and getting her PhD at the same time. In a family like the Yue family, she was considered highly knowledgeable.
