The Most Majestic You
Chapter 37 Part 1
The evening in winter was murky. The lamp by the front door of the
old style villa was already turned on.
Ye family’s villa had a garden whose style was an imitation of the Ming
and Qing dynasties. It had a clear pond in the center filled with colorful
koi fish that swam underneath the floating lotus leaves, creating small
ripples in their wake.
Qianxi gathered enough courage to walk into the house. She saw all
the elders in the family smiling pleasantly as well as Ye Qiao and her
husband. Everything went smoother than she expected. She introduced
Xu Jimo to the elder generation. Grandma even smiled and asked
them to come by her side with a wave of her hand. “Why don’t you let
him sit down? Come here, come to grandma’s side.”
Dinner hadn’t begun yet. The entire extended family sat in the living
room, chatting leisurely.
Qianxi had never been so uneasy sitting at her own home. She was
listening to her parents and the elder generation casually talk about a
range of topics.
Her mom had met him indirectly a couple of times. She didn’t like him
at first sight, but she still smiled kindly. However, when she started to
ask questions, she was straight to the point. “I heard that you dropped
out of university to be a professional gamer?”
Even Qianxi never asked him such a question so straightforwardly……
Qianxi fought the urge to pull her mom’s sleeve, but Xu Jimo stopped
her quietly.
He lowered his eyelids and answered calmly, “I took off for one year,
but later I still went back to finish school.”
So he was studying in university for the three years after he retired?
“In the three years after I retired, I studied and I wanted to give myself
some time to carefully think about what to do in the future. I used the
prize money I won to invest during this time period and had some success
with it. In the end, I took all the money I earned to fund the current club.”
The presiding inquiry officer, her mom, nodded. This was exactly the
data she had collected about him. He was majoring in Mathematical
Economics. It looked like he had talent in this field. He would be a good
seedling if he could keep moving forward on this route.
Grandma smiled even more kindly. “Did your family agree to your
choice of profession?”
Xu Jimo paused a little bit then spoke with a smile, “They didn’t at the
beginning.”
Well, accurately speaking, his family’s att.i.tude was still against it one or
two years after he retired.
But he had succeeded and now could support his club with his own
capital. What he was insisting on was no longer a wish from a willful
child, but as an adult sailing against the wind and current.
Many matters could all be proved by time and they could also be smoothed
out by time.
He always believed that.
The whole family seemed busy engaging in small talk. A fragrance wafted
out of the kitchen. Qianxi, the “extra person,” was sent away to help the
housekeeper serve food.
She was busy in and out for a while, then she glanced at Xu Jimo in the
living room.
He indeed owned an appearance that easily deceived others. That pair
