Following Ruo Ling's scream, the graceful lady beside her, who had been silently looking at Ruo Ling, trembled. After which, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Ruo Ling lovingly. She asked with concern,"Nightmare?"
She looked at her mother with a pale face and nodded. Although it was a dream, Ruo Ling felt that the dream was rehearsing something and her heart was very uneasy!
"Mom, you're back?" Ruo Ling looked at her mother and spoke in a faint voice.
Ou Shiman grabbed Ruo Ling's hand and said," At first, I planned to go home for dinner. Later, there was a meeting at the company, so I thought that I wouldn't go home for dinner this time. However, I heard from Grandma that you're back. I thought about it. Our family hasn't had a meal together for a long time, so I postponed the meeting and rushed back.”
"Mom, you're so nice."
Ruo Ling leaned against Ou Shiman's shoulder for a while before she touched Ruo Ling's head,"Alright, let's go down and eat. I asked Grandma to make your favorite sweet and sour fish.”
"Yes." Ruo Ling nodded and looked out the window. It was already dark.
Downstairs, her father was already sitting in the host's seat. Ruo Ling's father, Ruo Fenghua, was the head of the Land and Resources Bureau of Gan City. He was also the target of many businessmen to curry favor with. However, unlike ordinary officials, Ruo Fenghua was a little thin. His hair was thick and his facial features were very delicate. There were only some faint wrinkles on his face. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a quiet scholar.
People who didn't know him well might think that he was easy to talk to, but that was not the case. His style of doing things was actually a contrast to his appearance. He was so cold that he almost didn't do anyone a favor. He did not gamble, did not prostitute, did not smoke, and did not drink. He was simply invincible and immune to all poisons. It was precisely because of this that he became swift and decisive when dealing with some things.
Therefore, the world praised him as the Iron Lady Elizabeth, and now there was an Iron Man!
"Dad!"
Ruo Ling called out to Ruo Fenghua. Ruo Fenghua, who was originally acting in a serious manner, suddenly looked at Ruo Ling and smiled. This was probably the expression of love that every father had for his daughter. When he saw his daughter, all his seriousness disappeared.
"Sit down and eat. I haven't seen you for months. You've lost weight!”
Ruo Ling pursed her lips into a smile and sat down.
As Ruo Fenghua helped Ruo Ling scoop the ginseng chicken soup, she asked with concern,""How have you been in school recently?”
"It's pretty good. I just represented the school in the provincial university competition.”
"Eh? How is your school's overall performance?”
At this moment, Ou Shiman had also sat down. When she heard Ruo Fenghua's incessant questioning of her daughter, she couldn't help but interrupt,""Let your daughter eat some soup before you ask, okay? You see, Ruoling's complexion seems to be quite bad recently.”
"Yes, yes, you drink the soup first."
Ruo Ling took the soup from her father's hands, placed it on the table, and blew on it before replying,""His overall performance was average. It's just that my boy…a boy in our class broke the Asian record in the 50m freestyle race and has been selected to the national team. Because of this, he was greeted by the governor and the secretary of Changnan City, as well as the secretary of Gan City!”
"Is that so? It's quite amazing!" Ruo Fenghua only gave a faint compliment and did not continue.
Even so, this also made Ruo Ling a little excited. At least she had opened up a gap in this situation.
"What about you? How are your grades?" Ou Shiman curiously asked Ruo Ling.
"I'm 0.01 seconds away from entering the semifinals, but…" Ruo Ling smiled bitterly.
"Haha, it's fine. Continue to work hard next year and strive to enter the finals!”Ruo Fenghua continued.
"Uh, uh, if you ask me, don't go to any competitions. Study management knowledge well. When you graduate, I'll send you to Stanford in the United States for further studies.”After Ou Shiman finished speaking, she drank a mouthful of soup, but her eyes looked at Ruo Ling to see her reaction.
When Ruo Ling heard this, she frowned slightly and lowered her head. She stirred the chicken soup with the spoon in her hand. After a while, she looked up at her mother and said,"Mom, I really don't have any business talent, and I don't have any interest in it. Can I not go to America?”
Ruo Ling had been looking for an opportunity to bring up the matter of dropping out of school. When she finally had a chance, her mother had changed the topic. Ruo Ling was determined to go to the capital this time, so in her opinion, she would make them angry sooner or later. Why not take advantage of this topic to directly butt in and make it worse?
However, her mother did not get angry because of Ruo Ling's words. She just helped Ruo Ling pick up a piece of sweet and sour fish and put it in her bowl."Your thoughts will change with time. When you graduate, your thoughts will be more mature. You're only a freshman now. I won't force you to accept it immediately, but I think you'll definitely accept it in the future!”
This!
Ruo Ling had finally decided to give up, but this time, she was like a mute who had eaten coptis root. She could not speak and could only cover her head as she fiddled with the soup in her bowl, looking for other opportunities.
Ruo Fenghua seemed to have seen through his daughter's thoughts. He pushed up his glasses and asked,"Ling-er, do you have something to say to us?”
Upon hearing this, Ruo Ling suddenly raised her head to look at her father and nodded solemnly.
