What Zhu Chengqi did not know was that, to Qiao Nan, looking after Zhu Baoguo was akin to looking after a son.

“Alright, I won’t bring it up. I am the least bit interested to hang out with w.a.n.g Yang. It was w.a.n.g Yang who always stuck to me at home, addressing me as his brother. He even lodged a complaint to Grandpa, saying that I ignored him. What a cunning, deceitful, and vicious mean boy!” A childish Zhu Baoguo used all the negative expressions he could think of to describe w.a.n.g Yang, wanting Zhu Chengqi to understand that w.a.n.g Yang was a bad person.

Zhu Chengqi pressed his lips, creating a thin line. “You should really learn from Qiao Nan; in particular, learn Chinese from her. I believe she would definitely come in the first place for her essay.”

Qiao Nan could let him know of w.a.n.g Yang’s character and behavior in one sentence, yet his son had to use all the expressions he could think of to describe w.a.n.g Yang. Zhu Chengqi found it amusing.

Their standards were worlds apart.

“Do you know which high school Qiao Nan is going to?”

“Xiao Qiao has told me long ago. It is Ping Cheng High School.”

“Isn’t The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China better?”

“Xiao Qiao said that if she studies at Ping Cheng High School with her results, she could be exempted from paying tuition and incidental fees. Xiao Qiao’s family is not well-to-do, and her mother is a fool. She spent all the money they had to ask Grandpa to arrange for her sister to study at The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. If she did not have the ability, she should not insist to study there. She must be a fool. But the biggest fool is Xiao Qiao. Her sister could spend all the savings they had at home, so why does she have to save up for the family by studying at Ping Cheng High School and getting a scholars.h.i.+p? She is too nice and too filial. This is what we call unquestioning filial piety!”

Zhu Baoguo was pleased and proud of himself that he could use the expressions accurately. Time spent with Xiao Qiao was not wasted; his Chinese had improved tremendously.

“Unquestioning filial piety?” Zhu Chengqi gave a meaningful smile. “Baoguo, after learning Chinese for such a long time, do you know the meaning of ‘no eggs can remain unbroken when the nest is upset’?” ( Boxno vel. co m )

The young lady was not foolish. On the contrary, she was very smart.

Qiao Dongliang was the sole breadwinner of the Qiao family. If anything happened to him, not to mention Qiao Nan, both sisters would not be able to continue with their studies.

Qiao Nan made it easier for Qiao Dongliang to ensure she would have the opportunity to study.

If this young lady was fit, she would make a good soldier in the army. She was very quick-witted.

It might seem like she was at a disadvantage, but in fact, even if she did not gain any advantage, she had protected her own interests at the very least.

Under such dire situation, Qiao Nan was able to protect her interests to the very best. She was not to be underestimated.

Qiao Nan went to great lengths to make sure she could continue with her studies, yet his own son had brawns but no brains. Zhu Chengqi did not know what to say.

By right, with such a grindstone like w.a.n.g Yang at the Zhu family, he should see some improvements in Baoguo, but reality proved him wrong.

“Alright, we have arrived.” Zhu Chengqi patted his son’s shoulder. Zhu Chengqi pulled Zhu Baoguo into the Zhu family’s residence. By the time they reached home, w.a.n.g Yang and Zhu Qin were nowhere to be seen.

Not to mention w.a.n.g Yang, even Zhu Qin was too ashamed to stay at Zhu family’s residence. She was too disgraced to face her nephew, Zhu Baoguo.

Zhu Baoguo overslept on the day of middle school exams because he ate fruits that had doses of sleeping pills in it.
