Chen Xiang chuckled and said, "Actually, about twenty years ago, the Chu Family was at most a middle-class family. It was about a decade ago that someone helped Uncle Chu, which is why he is where he is today." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelꜰire.net
Chu Lianxin’s eyes started to shine, filled with curiosity as she looked at Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang cleared his throat and asked with a smile, "Lianxin, have you heard of ’Cloud Mist Mountain’?"
Chu Lianxin was startled for a moment and quickly said, "Isn’t that the biggest mountain in our Jiangzhou Prefecture? And I’ve heard it’s a wild jungle mountain? I’ve heard classmates say there are ’Immortals’ there?"
Chen Xiang gave a mysterious smile and said, "There are certainly no immortals, but there are indeed masters up there. Uncle Chu was guided by such a master back in the day, which is how he’s achieved what he has now. I secretly heard that the master asked Su Li, who was then a daughter of the Chu Family, to find him on the mountain after she turned eighteen."
Chu Lianxin stroked her chin, and a gleam of light gradually appeared in her eyes; her smile became more pronounced. She nodded heavily and said, "I understand! Brother Xiang, I love you to death!"
Chen Xiang was greatly relieved to see that Chu Lianxin had given up on the idea of tampering with Su Li’s college entrance exam scores.
That was close, I almost got dragged down by this foolish woman, Chu Lianxin.
Honestly, Su Li was a tad bit disappointed.
She was really waiting for Chu Lianxin to tamper with her college applications, but there was no action even after the applications were closed.
Su Li couldn’t help but laugh lightly. Chu Lianxin actually used her brain this time.
If she, a top female high school graduate, was exposed for having her applications tampered with, Chu Lianxin would never recover in her lifetime and would end up in prison. It’s a pity she didn’t act; perhaps someone guided her behind the scenes.
Since nothing happened, Su Li certainly wouldn’t dwell on it.
Having completed her college applications, Su Li discussed a graduation trip with some of her girlfriends.
[Xu Haohao]: Should we travel domestically or go abroad? Domestic would be cheaper.
[Lu Xiaomian]: Where in the country should we go? How about Yanjing? I’ve never been to Hua Country’s capital in my life.
[Zhao Xiaoyan]: I’ve been in Yanjing recently hoping to sign with an entertainment company, so you all can come play.
When Su Li saw the words "Yanjing," her expression slightly changed.
She had lived for eighteen years and had never been to the capital either.
Soon, they all decided to travel to Yanjing for their graduation trip and booked flights for a few days later.
As Su Li was about to pack her suitcase, her phone on the bed suddenly vibrated. When she picked it up, it was none other than her father, Chu Hongyuan.
Su Li’s expression slightly changed, and her voice carried an involuntary tremor: "Dad."
Chu Hongyuan felt a mix of emotions and sighed deeply, "Xiao Li, your mom and I worked hard to communicate with your grandparents. Seeing how well you’ve done and how you bring honor to our family, they want you back in the Chu Family."
"Move back home tomorrow."
Su Li nodded lightly and said, "Got it."
Although what she wanted most was to return to the Chu Family, receiving her father’s call today, Su Li’s heart was like a still well, without the slightest ripple.
Maybe it’s because she already has a new family?
Tuanzi’s father probably doesn’t count. Hmm, probably not.
Just as she was thinking, Tuanzi’s father sent a message: "Send a photo."
