Chapter 352 What, not Zhao Yanzi?
lank again, meaning every single page could only be read once. Although Hao Ren had a strong memory, such an abnormal memorization method was extremely difficult for someone like him who studied scien...Chapter 352 What Not Zhao Yanzǐ
When they arrived at the seaside villa, Hao Ren sent Lù Línlín and Lù Zhǎnxīn to stay in Xiè Yujia's room on the second floor for rest.
Hao Zhōnghuá knew that the Lù sisters would be staying overnight, so he had already taken out two folding beds to accommodate them comfortably at home.
Since Grandmother treated Lù Línlin and Lù Fēilǐ as her own granddaughters, Hao Zhōnghuá could only go along with it.
No matter how much trouble Lù Línlin and Lù Lǐlì caused, they were still the granddaughters of Professor Lù Qīng from Donghai University. From this perspective, Hao Zhōnghuá had to give them some respect.
Zhào Yanzǐ's family, Lù Qīng's family, Hao Ren’s family, and Xiè Yujia's family seemed to have become closely connected through Hao Ren's relationship with them.
Hao Zhōnghuá couldn't say if this was good or bad, but at least the house had become lively. In addition to weekends, there was also Zhen Cōngmíng running around every day, which always made Grandmother happy.
"Goodnight, sir!"
The shouts of Lù Línlin and Lù Fēilǐ reached the second-floor balcony through the first-floor window.
Hao Ren, who was just entering his room, smiled helplessly.
In the next room, Yúè Yáng, flipping through some documents on the bed frame, sighed towards Hao Zhōnghuá. "Lù Línlin and Lù Fēilǐ are also here because of rén, right"
"These two little girls aren't bad in character. They seem to be just playing around. As long as my mother is happy, let them play," Hao Zhōnghuá said, staring at the laptop on his bed and typing.
"I'll say it first: I like Zǐ." Yúè Yáng put down the documents in hand and looked directly at Hao Zhōnghuá.
Hao Zhōnghuá tapped twice on the enter key, then looked at Yúè Yáng. "Then I'll say that I prefer Yujia."
"Yujia is great, but sometimes she seems too gentle. Little Zǐ is very lively and smart. In the future, she will be able to come up with plans for both household matters inside and outside. Someone like rén should find someone like Zǐ." Yúè Yáng pushed his glasses up on his nose and continued discussing.
Hao Zhōnghuá closed his laptop and turned towards Yúè Yáng. "Zǐ is indeed very cute, but Yujia is also very smart. Someone like Yujia will surely manage the household matters inside and outside with utmost neatness."
Upon hearing this, Yúè Yáng continued to stare at him. "Are you saying that I can't handle household affairs"
Hao Zhōnghuá was taken aback and immediately explained. "That's not what I meant. Why are you going off-topic like that"
Yúè Yáng pursed his lips. "Yujia is your friend's daughter, so from a personal standpoint, I also like her. But let me tell you, Zǐ definitely likes rén."
"Zǐ is just an elementary school student. How much can she understand My mother has been looking forward to holding a grandchild all along. I always think that Yujia and rén suit each other very well,"
"In a few years, Zǐ will be older, and her family gets along very well with ours. You know that I can't get along with anyone except for Zǐ's mother. Every time we talk, it lasts two hours, and last time we even went shopping together."
"When she grows up, she won’t have a boyfriend of her own Little Zǐ is just playing with Hao Ren; there’s no such thing as liking or disliking.
"Hao Zhōnghuá! Are you deliberately arguing with me"
"Yúè Yáng, listen to me,"
"No, no! Tonight you're not sleeping on this bed!"
"Oh what’s the point of it I have work tomorrow,"
Hao Ren, who was in his room preparing for meditation practice, heard his parents arguing next door and helplessly shook his head.
About to start another argument, probably over some of the latest scientific discoveries in international research.
Hao Ren slowly exhaled and closed his eyes, continuing with his training.
The effects of Lei Xiu (Thunder Refinement) technique after being guided by Zhen Cunming were astonishing. His progress in修煉第五重天也進行得很順利,但距離龍神殿的會試隻剩兩三週的時間。震級的境界,即便能通過劍陣施展艮級威力,也不可能實現。
Whether Hao Ren can obtain the official qualifications of a Toxicology Examiner not only affects the situation in Donghai Dragon Palace, but also concerns Su Han's face.
If Hao Ren becomes an official examiner, then burning down Xihaigong (West Sea Dragon Palace) would become an internal matter handled by Longshen Temple. The informal status of a prince from the East wouldn't be significant anymore.
No matter how much Xihaigong dares to defy, it won't dare to challenge Longshen Temple.
From Su Han's perspective, if Hao Ren becomes an official examiner and returns to assist her, Donghai City would have two official examiners. Proving she still possesses her former strength would leave no room for Qin Shaoyang to interfere or find any reason to meddle. She could then regain control over the city's administration.
The whole situation hinges on whether Hao Ren can reach the Geng level, as it affects the entire scenario.
As night passed quickly, Hao Ren tidied up his spiritual energy and operated the Sword Shadow Decision more proficiently. He was accustomed to the five times greater spiritual energy in the fifth layer of heaven (Piaomiao Peak). The thinner spiritual energy here seemed insufficient for him. Practicing became merely a form of diligent encouragement.
"Ren, wake up! We need to go to school!" Yueyang shouted from outside.
"Alright, coming!" Hao Ren replied loudly and got dressed. He opened the window and looked at the distant sea waves before going downstairs.
Lulina and Lu LiLi, both wearing pink pajamas, were already seated at the dining table. Xie Yujia, in a white silk dress with rose-colored three-quarter sleeves, sat neatly by the table like a budding rose, waiting for breakfast.
The wobbly Lulin and LuLili looked like two supporting flowers; when they saw Hao Ren, they quickly called out, "Sir!"
The clear voices made the villa's morning lively.
Yueyang smiled helplessly. "Eat some bread and milk. Later, Zhonghua will take you to school."
Zhen Cunming in a black suit, yawning, led out Xiaobai who was also yawning from his room.
What used to be just Hao Ren now resembled an orphanage; everyone including Xiaobai would sit together early morning for breakfast.
"Where's Dad" asked Hao Ren.
"He is getting up," Yueyang answered while handing out bread.咚咚咚
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and Hao Ren turned to see Hao Zhonghua walk down with a tired face, one button on his shirt off-center.
"Uncle, your button is askew!" Lulin couldn't help but remind him.
“Oh, right,” Hao Zhonghua looked down and adjusted the button. Turning to Yueyang he said, "I have an important meeting today, sigh... I didn't sleep well last night as I returned late. Make something for Mom."
"Sure, I'll be a good wife," replied Yueyang with a heavy nasal tone as he handed out glasses of milk.
She was higher in administrative rank than Hao Zhonghua but always respected him, especially when it came to household matters.
However, regarding whether Zhao Yanzi or Xie Yujia is better, they held different opinions.
Influenced by Afu's mother (Zhao Yanzi's mom), Yueyang insisted on Zhao Yanzi. Influenced by Yujia's father (Hao Zhonghua), Hao Zhonghua preferred Xie Yujia. Such confrontations were common between them.
The perspective on this scientific research issue varies, and it's quite significant.
Hao Ren sensed a tension between his parents. He recalled an instance when they didn't speak to each other for a week because of the debate over whether Pluto should be excluded from the solar system. Today’s situation was probably another heated discussion about a comet hitting a planet.
"Yu Jia, after breakfast, Uncle Zhonghua will take you and your classmates to school," Hao Zhonghua sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of milk before speaking.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhonghua." Xie Yu Jia replied politely.
"Ren, this weekend, let Xiao Zi come over for dinner!" Yue Yang placed a carton of milk on the table and said to Hao Ren.
"Oh," Hao Ren nodded but couldn't shake off his mother's fiery demeanor.
"If they can't make it here, we'll go to their place for dinner."
Yue Yang continued speaking.
"Ren, this weekend I plan on taking you out郊遊。阿紫就要期末考試了,如果她不出來的話,我們就幾個人出去玩吧。”郝中華不緊不慢地說道。
郝仁看了看左邊的郝中華,又看了看右邊的嶽陽,總覺得他們話中有話。
“這個週末我要接待齊奧爾科夫斯基。”嶽陽冷冷地說。
“哦,去阿紫家吃飯,就有時間了?”郝中華立刻問。
“趙紅玉前幾天送我一串珍珠項鍊,我也買了一件禮物準備送給她的。”嶽陽說道。
“雨嘉爸爸前天打電話給我,知道中國的藍光碟不太好買。就在美國掏了兩百多張最新的遊戲碟和電影碟寄了過來。應該有好幾千美元吧,我打算回寄一點小禮物給他。”郝中華接著說。
原本漫不經心的甄聰明聽到藍光遊戲碟,雙眼立刻亮了起來,再聽說這是謝雨嘉的父親寄來的,他對謝雨嘉的感情又深了幾分。
實際上,嶽陽和郝中華都在談論對方與自己的交情,並強調各自的立場。
“爸,差不多該帶聰明去上學了吧。”郝仁打斷了他們像子彈對射一樣的對話。
“走吧,走吧!”郝中華拿起外套走向門口。
他的表情氣鼓鼓的,彷彿精心設計的科學構想被推翻了一樣。他昨晚打地鋪一晚,以為嶽陽會仔細想想改變主意,冇想到嶽陽堅持認為郝仁應該跟小阿紫這樣的初中女生配對。
他知道最近嶽陽調到了市區的研究機構,離趙紅玉的藝術區隻有兩條馬路的距離。有時中午時間長,她們會一起吃飯逛街,但冇想到嶽陽竟然會失去理智,把目前還遙不可及的趙焰紫當成自己的媳婦。
陸琳琳和陸莉莉急忙回到房間換衣服,然後匆匆出來坐上郝中華的白色福特車裡。
"聰明,阿仁,我送你們!" 嶽陽迅速拿起她的車鑰匙,對郝仁和甄聰明說。
自從從北京回來後,她換了職位還給自己買了一輛車,以免總是麻煩郝中華接送。
甄聰明無所謂地立刻坐進嶽陽的車裡。郝仁想了想也跟著坐下。
"雨嘉,上車!" 郝中華說道。
謝雨嘉站在門口,猶豫了幾秒後坐進了郝中華的車裡。
轟!
Yueyang pressed the accelerator and left the villa first.
She was also very angry, as Hao Zhonghua usually gave in to her wishes. But when it came to choosing between Zhao Yanzǐ and Xie Yujia, he stubbornly sided with Xie Yujia without making any compromises at all, which made Yueyang's temper flare up.
Back then, when Hao Zhonghua consulted her about bringing Xie Yujia into their home to take care of her, she had agreed without hesitation. Now it seems that Hao Zhonghua is deliberately trying to foster a relationship between Hao Ren and Xie Yujia!
If Hao Ren were allowed to develop naturally and choose freely, it would be fine; but since Hao Zhonghua has a preference for Xie Yujia and arranges her into their home, how can this be
She keeps shouting about fairness and justice in everything, yet she secretly manipulates things to go the way she wants them to. The more Yueyang thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Mom! Slow down a bit!" Hao Ren couldn't help but advise from inside the car.
Didn't he know his mom's driving skills Usually, she wouldn't dare exceed 60 kilometers per hour. But today, after leaving the villa and on the coastal road, she immediately sped up to over 120 kilometers per hour.
Hearing Hao Ren's reminder, Yueyang glanced at the speedometer and gradually eased off the accelerator a little.
"Are you okay, Mom" Hao Ren asked with some concern.
He noticed that his father's white Ford was following behind them but neither overtook nor kept pace; it simply maintained a distance.
"I'm fine! From now on, let Yanzǐ come to our place more often during weekends. Or you guys can go out together." After some thought, Yueyang said.
"She's busy with her studies," Hao Ren replied.
"You should help her with her homework occasionally too. Just because Yujia is staying in our home doesn't mean that you have to accompany her all the time." Yueyang continued.
Hao Ren had been out with Xie Yujia for two days over the weekend, leaving very early and returning late in the evening, which made Yueyang suspicious.
Xie Yujia is a good girl from every perspective. Yueyang had once envisioned her marrying into their family, but she worried that if Hao Ren and Xie Yujia developed a relationship, it would hurt the bond between her and Zhao Hongyu.
The exchange with Zhao Hongyu made Yueyang very clear that although Zhao Yanzǐ is chirpy on the surface, she actually cares deeply about Hao Ren.
Honk honk...
Hao Zhonghua's white Ford accelerated and caught up from behind, matching their speed exactly as it pulled alongside.
"Yueyang! I'm not arguing with you now. Tonight we'll sit down and discuss this properly!" After following her for over ten minutes, Hao Zhonghua finally couldn't hold back any longer and called out to Yueyang.
Yueyang's reaction was completely unexpected by Hao Zhonghua. He had thought that she would be more pragmatic like him and treat Xie Yujia as a potential daughter-in-law.
"Hmph!" Yueyang suddenly pressed the accelerator hard, pulling away from Hao Zhonghua's car.
Yueyang's car entered downtown, diverging onto different roads from Hao Zhonghua's white Ford and directly dropped Zhen Congming off at Lingzhao Primary School.
"Congming! Congming!"
The moment Zhen Congming stepped out of the car with his schoolbag, a group of young girls surrounded him.
Proud Zhen Congming strode ahead without bothering about them following behind, entering the primary school gates with confidence.
"Dropped you off at school." Yueyang turned to look back at Hao Ren sitting in the rear seat before starting up the car again.
As Yueyang's car passed by Lingzhao Middle School's entrance diagonally opposite, Hao Ren subconsciously glanced at it and noticed that the familiar Rolls-Royce Phantom was once again parked there outside of Lingzhao Middle School.Ren."No need!" Wearing his shoes, Hao Ren left the villa.It was Saturday; he had already obtained Xu Ke’s address from Huang Xujie and planned to investigate personally.Hao Zhonghua saw Hao Ren rush o...
