Chapter 1852: If You Cannot Be Relatives, Be Master and Apprentice

If they didn't return them, in truth, no one in the Sheng Family would remember.

These books, no one in the family even reads them!

But the old couple could not forget; what should be done must be done, and even if they could not be relatives, they could not take advantage of others for nothing.

The old couple not only returned the books but also brought an inkstone.

Shi Youxuan said, "There is no need to return them. Even if we cannot be relatives, we can still be friends. Giving a gift to a friend is normal."

"Back then, you said some words to Feifei that pulled a good girl who was about to walk into the abyss back in time. Now she is my second daughter-in-law, and the young couple lives in harmony and happiness, perfectly fulfilled."

"Although we cannot be relatives now, based on this one thing alone, you are a noble person to our family. These rare editions are not excessive as a token of gratitude. I don't understand inkstones, and no one in our family does, but it should be a treasure."

"A treasure must be appreciated by someone to highlight its value. If no one appreciates it, it is just a broken stone. Don't you agree?"

In the end, the Sheng Family did not take back the rare editions, nor did they accept Principal Gu's inkstone.

Principal Gu and his wife never owed anyone favors in their lives; now, to owe such a large favor was absolutely impossible.

Shi Youxuan said, "Although I am not young anymore, I have always had one regret, and that is that I never went to school."

"Do you think this would work? You find me a teacher, and these books can count as tuition."

Grandma Gu said, "I will teach you." Her husband insisted on returning these books, and she actually felt very pained by it.

The old couple left the Sheng Family. Principal Gu shook his head and sighed, filled with emotion: "What a good family, what good family values, what a good mother-in-law. Yuxin missed out on such a family; she will definitely regret it."

Grandma also sighed: "Yes, Zichen's mother seems to have a kind of magic that makes people unconsciously want to get close to her and feel that she is trustworthy."

"Yuxin is still too young and looks at things too one-sidedly..."

Principal Gu disagreed and retorted: "What do you mean young? I think it's just being ignorant. Of course, these are all our faults; it is we who protected her too well. Excessive protection is actually also a mistake."

The relationship between the two people ended, but the relationship between the two families did not end.

Grandma Gu became Shi Youxuan's private tutor, giving her two lessons every week!

A dignified and famous scholar in Jiangzhou—this is someone many people couldn't hire no matter how much money they spent, yet she actually became Shi Youxuan's private tutor. Jian Yixin teased her best friend: "You are really something. I think all of us added together aren't as shrewd as you alone."

Shi Youxuan rolled her eyes at her and retorted: "If I give this good fortune to you, do you want it? Don't act coy after getting the advantage. Your son is married, and a big stone in your heart has landed, so you come to tease me?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

"Hmph! What 'not what you meant,' I think that is exactly what you meant. I don't care, you are paying for dinner tonight!"

Jian Yixin:...

Fine, she accepted her bad luck.

Treating someone to a meal is nothing; even if she treated her every meal, she could afford it!

Zichen had a broken heart, but not everyone felt sad for him; some people were very happy, for instance, the triplets!

The three of them went to Zichen's place excitedly, and they also invited Zirui and Sheng Zihan, bringing alcohol with them, saying they wanted to celebrate—celebrate that another brother had joined the ranks of the single.

The triplets also suggested: "From now on, let's just have gatherings among us few. The single ones gather together, and if they aren't single, we'll kick them out, so they don't show off their romance in front of us."

Zichen:...

He protested: "I say, you all are going too far. I'm heartbroken; this is supposed to be a sad thing. Can you all be a little more low-key?"

"Hahahaha..."

"No, I'm too happy, I can't be sad."

"Yes, that's right!"

These three guys didn't have a shred of sympathy, though in this kind of situation, it was actually quite appropriate.

Zichen didn't need sympathy; what he wanted was to be treated as an equal, and the triplets were perfectly capable of that.

The brothers originally wanted to comfort him, but because of the triplets' participation, it turned into a wild party!

Each of them had their own thoughts, and before they knew it, they had drunk too much.

It is easy to speak the truth after drinking. Zichen slurred his words: "Actually, I am a little bit sad, but only a little bit. I hope she can be well. Even if we can't be lovers, there's no need to be enemies. I wish her well."

The triplets gave a thumbs up and praised in unison: "Big brother, your perspective, your state of mind... the mortal world can no longer contain you. You might as well become a monk."

Zihan: "Big brother can't become a monk; big brother will still have better things waiting for him. I think Zirui can become a monk. Zirui's is too difficult; it'll be tough for his whole life."

"Don't talk about us. What's going on with you? Have you figured things out? I think if you keep going like this, the first person to become a monk will be you."

Zihan stood up unsteadily, raised his wine bottle, and swore: "No! I, Sheng Zihan, will not become a monk. I am a person of the mortal world, and I will be for my whole life. I will definitely find Yuanyuan. I will not marry anyone else in this life."

The three brothers had stated their attitudes, so naturally, they wouldn't let the triplets off.

Zihan pointed at the three of them and teased: "You all should stop meddling in other people's business. Instead of worrying about others, you should think about yourselves. Let me tell you, if you three don't change your tempers, you won't find men at all."

"That's right."

"Makes sense!"

Zichen and Zirui chimed in.

The triplets were unconvinced.

Youyou: "We will definitely find men, find three who are even more outstanding than you three, just to make you mad."

Taotao: "Exactly, you just wait. We three are going to find ones who are handsome and eloquent."

Mengmeng: "Find pretty boys!"

Zichen shook his head: "No good, don't look for freeloaders. Although they can talk, they have no sense of responsibility. A man without a sense of responsibility is not a good man."

The triplets disagreed, and they were decisive; once they said it, they wanted to do it immediately.

The next day.

They went on blind dates.

This time, the requirements on the blind date website were not as bizarre for the triplets; they were relatively "low-key."

Soon, someone came to apply.

The man was named Yang Zihao, a returnee from overseas, and he was very handsome.

The triplets met him together, and their requirements were still the same as before, but the man did not show surprise or dissatisfaction like others did.

From beginning to end, he listened to them talk with a polite smile, then thoughtfully asked what all three of them liked to eat and signaled for the waiter to hand the menu to the girls.

Although the triplets were in sync, their preferences were not exactly the same; for instance, Youyou liked seafood, Taotao loved meat, and Mengmeng, who loved beauty and paid more attention to maintaining her figure, usually ate more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.

Youyou ladylike handed the menu back: "We can eat anything, Mr. Yang can just order."

Taotao and Mengmeng were the same, not ordering for themselves and letting Yang Zihao order instead.

This was also considered a small test, testing whether Yang Zihao would order the dishes they liked.

Whoever's preferences matched his, that was who he would choose to associate with.
