Chapter 107 Xixi Belongs to Me

On the way home, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi sat in the back seat, while Ying Zhicheng sat in the passenger seat, opening the window and enjoying the breeze.

Instead of asking them how they felt about the midterm exam, Ying Zhicheng just casually asked about some trivial matters at school.

What are the teachers like, is the club fun, is the food in the cafeteria delicious?

Also, whether you are used to living in Bihailanting.

"I have heard some news." Ying Zhicheng said, "The subway plan for Yinjiang District will probably be announced by the end of this year or after New Year's Eve."

"I'm thinking of buying a house along the line. On the one hand, I can use it as an investment, and on the other hand, I can leave it to you in the future."

Ying Zhicheng looked at Ying Chanxi and asked, "Do you want to buy a house near the No. 1 Middle School and Qianjiang University, or closer to the South Station?"

The meaning of this sentence is quite simple.

I just want to ask Ying Chanxi whether he wants to move out from Bihai Lanting.

But it was obvious that Ying Chanxi had no such idea at all. He just shook his head and said, "Dad, just make your own decision. I don't understand these things."

After saying this, Ying Chanxi took out the notice of the parents' meeting from his schoolbag and handed it to Ying Zhicheng in the co-pilot seat: "There will be a parents' meeting next Saturday. See if the company is busy."

"Next Saturday?" Ying Zhicheng frowned and looked carefully at the contents of the notice. "Xiao Lu, what is my schedule next Saturday?"

The driver nearby heard Ying Zhicheng's question and immediately responded, "Boss Ying, you will be on a business trip to Changning City for two days next Friday, and you won't be back until Sunday."

"Oh yes, it's about the film and television copyright." Ying Zhicheng tapped his forehead, feeling a little headache.

Ying Chanxi in the back row shook his head indifferently after hearing this: "It's okay, Dad, if you have something to do, just go and do it. Just tell the teacher in advance."

"This is the only way." Ying Zhicheng said helplessly.

After returning to Jincheng Community, the three of them went up to the fourth floor.

Ying Chanxi and Ying Zhicheng first put their belongings back home and then went to Room 401.

Lin Xiuhong and her partner were still busy in the kitchen. Li Guohong heard the noise at the door and leaned over to greet them, "Sit on the sofa for a while. The food will be ready soon."

"I brought you a bottle of good wine." Ying Zhicheng said with a smile, holding a bottle of white wine in his hand and placing it on the dining table.

When Ying Chanxi saw the wine in his father's hand, he frowned in dissatisfaction and muttered quietly, "Drinking again."

"They have always been like this." Li Luo glanced at Ying Chanxi, "Are you still not used to it?"

"I can't control my father and uncle." Ying Chanxi stared at Li Luo and warned him, "You are not allowed to drink in the future."

"You can't take care of them, but you can take care of me?"

"Humph, if you dare to drink secretly, I will tell Aunt Lin."

"Childish, that's all you know."

After a while, the food was served.

After the five people sat down at the table, Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng toasted each other. Lin Xiuhong looked at Li Luo and asked impatiently, "How did you do on the exam?"

"It's definitely better than last time," Li Luo said conservatively, "We should have a chance to get into the top 100."

"Oh?" Ying Zhicheng was a little surprised when he heard this, "Including the top 100 in the key classes?"

"That's right." Li Luo nodded calmly.

"Is this true?" Lin Xiuhong was a little skeptical. "You ranked 86th in the district in the high school entrance exam. If you count the 160 people who were admitted independently, you're only in the top , right?"

"Mom, I suggest you don't underestimate your son." Li Luo kindly suggested, "When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes. Why would I lie to you about something like this?"

"Li Luo is very good." Ying Chanxi added, "Sister Youyu and I have been tutoring him before the exam, and he has made great progress."

"Oh, no wonder." Lin Xiuhong nodded in understanding, "Someone gave you tutoring, I had forgotten about it."

Li Luo: “…” So you just believe what Ying Chanxi says?

"The Sister You Yu you are talking about is the girl who shares the apartment with you?" Ying Zhicheng asked curiously.

"That's right." Ying Chanxi nodded. "Her name is Xu Youyu. She's a sophomore and the president of the student union. She's ranked first in her sophomore year."

"Wow! Xu Youyu is so good?" Lin Xiuhong was a little surprised, and immediately looked at Li Luo, "No wonder you are so confident. Two top students in the grade are tutoring you. If you don't make any progress, it will be so embarrassing."

Li Luo was speechless and too lazy to say more. Anyway, everything would be revealed at the parents' meeting next Saturday when the results were announced.

So Li Luo took out the notice of the parents' meeting from his schoolbag and handed it to his mother: "There will be a parents' meeting next Saturday. You can come and attend it. You can enjoy the praise from your class teacher."

"Okay." Lin Xiuhong nodded and took the notice naturally.

Li Guohong, who was standing by, glanced over and was tempted, but knew he couldn't win against his wife. He moved his lips but said nothing.

He actually wanted to go. After all, his son had made great progress. He would definitely want to attend the parent-teacher meeting of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.

However, Lin Xiuhong was the first choice in the family, so Li Guohong had no choice but to give up his position.

After talking about the midterm exam, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong didn't ask any other questions.

For example, regarding the matter of Li Luo writing a novel, since they had agreed not to disclose the information to the outside world, the couple did not mention it since Ying Zhicheng and Ying Chanxi were present.

The topic at the dinner table quickly shifted from the school's midterm exams and parent-teacher conferences to finance, the stock market, policies, international situation, etc.

Finally, it comes down to the recent policy changes in Yuhang City and the subway construction in Yinjiang District.

After hearing Ying Zhicheng's talk about the subway planning, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong both showed joy on their faces.

In this light, it was indeed a wise decision for them to reject Wei Dongrong's real estate investment and instead choose to buy the house in Bi Hai Lan Ting.

Especially now that Li Luo can make a lot of money writing novels, the pressure of the family’s mortgage has suddenly disappeared, which makes the two of them very happy.

Besides, Li Luo is still a student at the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School. If he works hard, he may be able to be admitted to Qianjiang University.

It was only a few months, but when Li Guohong and his wife looked back, they suddenly realized that their family seemed to have gotten better all of a sudden.

The future is simply bright and starry.

And all of this probably started with Li Luo’s exceptional performance in the high school entrance examination.

"It's a pity, though. I can't go to Xixi's parent-teacher meeting this time. I have to go on a business trip on Saturday." As he drank more, Ying Zhicheng started to talk more. He put a hand on Li Guohong's shoulder and said, "Why don't you go in my place? Xixi is half your daughter. It's not too much to help go to the parent-teacher meeting, right?"

When Li Guohong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Okay, are you sure? If you say so, I will take it seriously."

"Why not?" Ying Zhicheng took another sip of wine, "Just say you are Xixi's uncle."

"I don't think so." Lin Xiuhong shook her head.

"Why?" Li Guohong was immediately dissatisfied, "You can go to Li Luo's parent-teacher meeting, but I can't go to Xixi's?"

"What I mean is," Lin Xiuhong said with a smile, "I'll go to Xixi's parent-teacher meeting, and you'll go to Li Luo's."

"Why?!" Li Guohong's eyes widened, and he immediately said dissatisfiedly, "Li Luo's parent-teacher conference is not as good as Xixi's."

"You still want to snatch it from me?" Lin Xiuhong narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "Xixi is mine."

Although Li Guohong drank a lot, he was not drunk. When Lin Xiuhong squinted at him, he shut up instantly and could only mutter in a low voice: "It's really unreasonable."

"Don't be too outrageous." Li Luo said speechlessly, "How can you attend a parents' meeting on behalf of other parents?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Luo's foot was stepped on hard.

He looked at Ying Chanxi beside him in astonishment, and then heard her whisper, "It would be great if uncle and auntie could attend the parents' meeting on behalf of my father."
