Li Jiaguo was old and cunning, and he could naturally see through it.
He shook his head with a helpless look, "But we have no choice."
Jiao Lei was too smart; she didn’t let the Li Family know until the child was fifteen years old.
She also brought along a paternity test, confirming the child was Li Fuhong’s blood.
A child of that age had already started to keep score.
If the kid had been younger, the Li Family could have found a way to take the child and give Jiao Lei a sum of money to fuck off.
If the child had been of age, he might not have been able to develop any feelings for the Li Family, and Li Jiaguo and his wife would not have placed any trust in him.
Naturally, they would be more inclined to rely on Li Ruyu whom they had watched grow up from a young age.
But just their luck that the child’s age was on that critical threshold, also raised rather well by Jiao Lei.
At least he seemed obedient and sensible, and his grades were among the top of his class.
In contrast, Li Ruyu and Li Ruyun had both turned out wayward.
The Li Family then got the idea to take the child back, but once the grandson entered the family home, they would inevitably have to legitimize Jiao Lei in a package deal.
Ding Xiulan and Li Jiaguo could clearly see what kind of person she was, but they had no choice but to hold their noses and accept her.
The old couple felt bitter inside.
They had been clever all their lives, but in their old age, they were being held by the throats by blood relations.
Oh well, it’s all fate.
If Zhuang Rouhui’s first child had been a boy, perhaps everything would have been different.
But now, the most important thing was to find the two children and bring them back home. After all, they were their own flesh and blood grandchildren, and they did feel a measure of heartache for them.
While the Li Family was in turmoil, Zhuang Rouhui was also trying her best to find her son and daughter, so for the time being, she couldn’t be bothered with Yue Qingqing’s matter.
Although Yue Qingqing had changed her fortune and caused her some nightmares for a while, she also saw that Zhuang Rouhui wouldn’t give up easily.
She remained vigilant against all kinds of tricks at all times.
But what came was calm, and the adamant Zhuang Rouhui never appeared near the school again.
Though Qingqing didn’t know the reason, she was relieved and continued to immerse herself in her studies.
The second year of high school ended, and after the final exams, the students were exhausted.
All they looked forward to was getting their results and returning home to enjoy the last holiday before their senior year.
Qingqing once again secured the top position, but the gap between her and the other students was not large.
Collapsing on her bed, Qingqing was like a salted fish.
"I’m so tired, studying is really too tiring, I don’t want to be first anymore."
Being first was like Sun Wukong’s tight band spell, once on, it couldn’t be removed.
She could only carry it and fight demons all the way, waiting for the day to receive the true scriptures to take it off.
During this period, Qingqing didn’t dare to slack off at all. She maintained her first place with a combination of a sea of practice problems and Jiang Jingze’s remote tutoring.
Following closely behind her, Zhuang Lan and Lu Zhu were nearly at the same score, with a difference of only one or two multiple-choice questions.
Qu Ruorui stood by the bed and poked Qingqing’s cheek.
"If others heard you say that, they would die of envy. What do you mean by not wanting to be first anymore? You still have to be first to go to Minghua University to find your brother Jiang."
Qingqing sat up suddenly, "Right, I haven’t called him today to report my grades."
As she spoke, she picked up her phone to dial.
Ruorui had a smile like an aunt, feeling embarrassed to eavesdrop.
She turned to ask Lu Zhu, "How will you spend your holiday?"
Lu Zhu’s eyes flashed with determination, and her face was filled with a gentle expression.
It seemed that money was the only thing that made Lu Zhu this happy.
One roommate was experiencing the sweet love of a top student.
The other was entwined intimately with money.
Ruorui: Today is yet another day witnessing a beautiful love!
