Chapter 1652: I Didn't Really Take This Matter Seriously, But Trying It Out Wouldn't Hurt

~5 min read 812 words

Auntie Wei's cooking was excellent; she didn't prepare overly complex dishes, yet the eight dishes on the table were so delicious that no one could stop eating.

Glasses were raised and exchanged in a lively manner, and everyone wore joyful expressions on their faces.

Xia Qiu went to the kitchen to help clean up and then approached Liu Chuxue: "Did you really get into Beijing University?"

Why does everyone have to ask this question?

But Liu Chuxue nodded and replied: "Yes, your results should be coming soon too. No need to worry too much; after all, the situation this year is special, the timeline is very tight, and it is normal for the admission notices to be delivered late."

Xia Qiu was still very confident in her exam results: "Yes, I know."

Besides, among those around her who took the college entrance exam, only her younger sister had received an admission notice, so she truly wasn't worried.

Because the triplets had the habit of taking afternoon naps, and everyone had only taken leave for the morning, after eating and chatting for a while, they gradually took their leave.

Seeing that everyone had left, Fu's mother pulled Liu Chuxue aside and handed three red envelopes into her hands: "This is a small token of our hearts from your father and me for the children; you keep it for them."

Just as Liu Chuxue was about to decline, she heard Fu's mother say: "Do not refuse it. In the future, all juniors will be treated equally; once you miss this opportunity, there won't be another."

Liu Chuxue looked at the red envelopes in her hands and smiled: "Alright, then I will keep this money for them. I guarantee I won't touch a single cent; this is Grandpa and Grandma's heartfelt gift."

Fu's mother also had to go to work in the afternoon, so she didn't stay long.

After seeing her mother-in-law off to the outer gate, she was just about to turn back to the courtyard when she saw Wei Ruhua walking over.

Remembering the promise she had made to her, Liu Chuxue spoke up: "I just passed the word to a friend, but I haven't received a reply yet. Please wait a bit longer."

In fact, he had been too busy these past few days and simply hadn't had time to attend to this matter.

Wei Ruhua, however, smiled slightly: "I didn't come to ask about the job; I just heard that your triplets are having their first birthday banquet today, so I brought this over."

After speaking, she added: "Time was a bit tight, so I could only make this one thing; I hope they won't dislike it."

Liu Chuxue took it from her hands; it was a wooden model of a Mauser pistol, very realistic, and clearly made with care, polished very smoothly.

Liu Chuxue praised: "I didn't expect you to be so skilled with your hands; they will definitely like this gift."

She glanced left and right to ensure no one else was watching, then directly pulled the person into the courtyard: "There is still some braised meat from this morning; eat some here before you go back."

Given Wei Ruhua's situation, even if she let her take it back, it probably wouldn't even reach her mouth, and she might just cause trouble for herself by bringing it home.

It was much more practical to let her eat it here and get it into her stomach.

Wei Ruhua felt a bit embarrassed, but she was truly craving food; knowing Liu Chuxue wasn't putting on airs, she simply decided to give up all pretense at Liu Chuxue's place. What was that saying again? Oh, right, when debts pile up, one stops worrying about repaying them; just consider it her thick skin. Once she has the ability in the future, she will definitely repay this kindness properly.

Fu Yan Cheng had just gone to see off his father-in-law, who was quite drunk, and upon returning, he saw a Miss standing in the kitchen.

Liu Chuxue handed the served dishes to Wei Ruhua and also served her a bowl of rice: "Just finish eating in the kitchen and leave directly; I have matters to attend to first."

After pulling Fu Yan Cheng back, she handed him the agreement signed that day to read: "I didn't really take this matter seriously, but trying it out wouldn't hurt. What do you think?"

After reading the agreement, Fu Yan Cheng handed it back to Liu Chuxue: "It seems my wife not only wants to study but also has even grander ambitions."

Liu Chuxue said with a touch of pride: "Of course."

However, thinking that the policies over the past few years were unclear, she wasn't in a hurry; after all, the gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out, so taking it slow is best.
