Xi Yuanshan pushed the thought of a health check to the back of his mind.
He had always been healthy, nothing could be wrong with him.
After issuing a health check form for Zuzi, he also grabbed some nerve-nourishing supplements to take first.
He originally planned to send them to the school, but after thinking about it, he decided to take them home and put them in Xi Ruzhu’s room, leaving a note: "Zhuzhu, if you have time tomorrow, take Zuzi for a health check, and remember to remind her to take her medicine."
A new child had come to the family, and he couldn’t let his daughter feel neglected or overlooked.
He had to let Zhuzhu know that no matter how many daughters he had, she would always be the most cherished eldest one.
He was a fair father.
Xi Chansha was at the company, dressed in a suit, signing a contract with a client.
He had just procured a batch of antiques worth 50 million and immediately found a buyer. The profit margin he gained as a middleman was fifty percent.
Sure enough, his little sister, Xiao Jinli Xi Rubao, brought him luck.
If he had believed Zuzi’s nonsense, wouldn’t he have missed out on this opportunity to make a huge profit?
This was a batch of melon-ridged gray pottery cups from the Xia Dynasty tomb, with over 4000 years of history. Their shape was very similar to modern mugs, with miraculous craftsmanship, very rare.
However, because the pottery cups had varying sizes of chips, the purchase price was as cheap as 50 million, allowing him to earn a hefty fifty percent profit.
Xi Chansha signed the contract with vigor, handed over the goods to the buyer, and posed for photos together.
He was smiling the whole time.
Once the buyer’s test report from a third-party organization was out, the transaction payment could be credited.
He glanced at the time and figured Xi Rubao should have just finished her exam, so he gave her a call: "Baby, the exam was tough, right? Let third brother treat you to lunch to cheer you up..."
His precious little Xiao Jinli needed to be spoiled and doted on properly.
Xi Rubao’s side was in utter chaos, crying loudly: "Third brother! Come quick, I’ve been bullied, wuwuwu..."
Oh no, who dared bully his sister?
When Xi Chansha arrived at the classroom, Xi Rubao was sitting at her desk, not daring to move, crying like rain on pear blossoms: "Third brother, I can’t move, wuwuwu."
Xi Chansha: "Baby, is your fracture painful? Let brother carry you home!"
Xi Rubao’s face was flushed: "No, my butt hurts!"
Only then did Xi Chansha realize that Xi Rubao’s skirt and butt were stuck to the chair, and she couldn’t stand up at all. To leave, he might have to carry her along with the chair... How awkward.
Xi Rubao angrily pointed at the last row of the classroom: "It must be her, she’s the one who did it!"
There were still five minutes left before the exam ended.
Everyone had handed in their papers, except for Zuzi, who was still leisurely filling in the answer sheet.
Her way of marking the sheet was quite peculiar.
She wasn’t even looking at the questions.
Instead, she was tossing an eraser in the air.
If it landed facing up, she’d mark an A.
If it landed facing down, she’d mark a B.
If it landed sideways, she’d mark a C...
She was having a blast.
As for the essay... she had only written two sentences.
So much so that Zhang Bin, the homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher, frowned and asked Xi Chansha: "Is she your relative? With this attitude towards studying, thinking about getting into college seems like a fantasy, a daydream?"
Xi Chansha’s lips twitched, inwardly thinking that this rural sister indeed had no skills, too embarrassing, and he really didn’t want to acknowledge her publicly.
But regardless of not wanting to acknowledge her, he still said a fair word to Xi Rubao: "Baby, she’s in the last row, so far from you, how could she have harmed you?"
Xi Rubao wouldn’t have it: "Third brother, are you favoring her too? I can’t go on, I might as well jump off a building, wuwuwu..."
Just as things were getting out of hand.
Xi Chansha’s phone suddenly vibrated intensely, more urgent by the second.
It was from the business partner he had just signed the contract with.
As soon as he answered, his face changed: "What? What are you saying... That’s impossible!"
