Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Turns Out to be An Acquaintance
By the time everyone returned to the guesthouse, cradling their round bellies, Yue Jiannan threw himself onto the bed inside.
His body sank into the soft blankets.
“Mom, I’m going to sleep. Wake me up for dinner,” he said. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Lin Chunju had long noticed the dark circles under her son’s eyes, aware that he hadn’t had proper rest for a while.
She closed the door gently.
Yue Qingqing also knew that if it weren’t for the Curse Technique he had set up in the dormitory, Yue Jiannan’s intense study regime would have overwhelmed him mentally long ago.
The human nervous system is like a spring; it must have both tension and relaxation. Constant strain won’t lead to any good results.
Soon, snoring sounds came from the suite, and Yue Qingqing and Yue Xingxing glanced at each other. The two kids sat back on the bed softly, even their speech was in hushed tones.
They were kids who loved to read, each carrying a bag with extracurricular books bought by Yue Jiandong from the city.
Yue Xingxing held a book titled ‘A Hundred Thousand Whys,’ while Yue Qingqing was engrossed in an illustrated version of ‘Three Kingdoms.’
Both children quickly sank into their own worlds.
Seeing this, Lin Chunju decided to go out and fill a kettle with hot water.
As she reached the door, she happened to encounter the couple who had argued that morning descending the stairs, followed by a young man.
From a distance, Lin Chunju felt the young man looked familiar and instinctively stepped back to avoid their gaze.
The three were arguing and didn’t notice Lin Chunju.
Du Lianxin’s voice was sharp as she chastised her son, as though castigating him for his lack of steel.
“Last year during the college entrance exams, you fainted in the exam hall and had to be carried out. This year, you haven’t even entered the exam hall yet, and you’re already distracted. How come your grades have slipped so much lately? Is it because of that vixen Yu Yaxian?”
Hearing this familiar name, Lin Chunju was startled.
Then she realized why the young man looked familiar.
Wasn’t he Song Qiming, the one she had seen at the school gate last time?
Being scolded by his mother in public, Song Qiming impatiently retorted, “What’s the big deal about two mock exams? What does it prove? I’ve been ranked in the top three all along.”
“What kind of attitude is that? I’m doing this for your own good! Your father is a university professor, and if his son fails to get into a university after two attempts, won’t it be embarrassing when the neighbors find out?”
Song Qiming raised his voice, “Then why don’t you talk about yourself? You still can’t recognize a few words to this day, remaining illiterate!”
Du Lianxin reeled back in anger, trembling as she pointed at Song Qiming’s nose.
“Say that again? Song Hongye, look at the fine son you’ve raised, daring to speak to me with such an attitude. Are you satisfied only if you drive me to my grave?”
Playing the peacemaker, Song Hongye said, “Alright, let’s both speak less. No matter what, she is your mother. You should speak politely, and Lianxin, you too. The college entrance exams are nearing; aren’t you adding pressure to him now?”
Unyielding, Du Lianxin argued, “Pressure? I’ve asked around. Your darling son has been gallivanting in the yard with a woman these days, often skipping classes! Can you still call him a student?”
“Enough! Can’t you just shut up?”
Song Qiming interrupted her sharply, while Du Lianxin shrieked in response.
“What’s that look in your eyes? Are you and your father trying to anger me to death?”
Lin Chunju adjusted the hot water bottle in her hands and waited until the voices had dissipated before she descended the stairs leisurely.
She hadn’t expected to overhear such a dramatic scene.
It seemed Yu Yaxian didn’t have the best judgment; her new man didn’t appear to be much of an improvement.
The family situation wasn’t simple either.
If Yu Yaxian truly married into that family, she would likely have a tough time ahead.
But all things considered, the two did seem quite suited for each other.
As long as they didn’t bother Yue Jiandong, Lin Chunju couldn’t care less about them.
