Chapter 527: What? The Ancestral Grave Was Dug Up?

~7 min read 1,347 words

Zhao Xinyi was rejected by Xiao Hua like this, and her self-esteem was severely bruised.

She had originally thought that since she was several years older than Xiao Hua, with her experience, as long as she took the initiative, it would be easy to win Xiao Hua over, but she never expected that Xiao Hua wouldn't even add her as a WeChat friend, which was equivalent to not giving her a chance to even start.

It was only then that she realized Xiao Hua truly looked down on her completely.

In the end, she could only reluctantly put away all her ulterior motives, lest she continue to make a fool of herself.

It was past four in the afternoon, and after several people finished climbing the Badaling Great Wall, they drove back to Xijiao Hotel.

Zhao Xinyi had been listless and very depressed.

Du Xiaojuan saw this in her eyes and couldn't help but feel sympathy.

She knew Zhao Xinyi was very proud at heart.

Being rejected by Xiao Hua this time had dealt her a great blow.

If she were rejected by a tall, handsome, and rich man, she could still reluctantly accept it.

But Xiao Hua was neither tall, handsome, nor rich; being rejected by such a person made her feel as if she were very cheap.

After returning to the hotel and resting for a while, everyone was about to go to Tsinghua University for dinner.

But Zhao Xinyi said she wasn't going; she was tired and wanted to rest in her room for a while.

Du Xiaojuan didn't force her either, just saying some comforting words:

"Xinyan, open your mind a bit; Xiao Hua rejecting you isn't because you aren't beautiful or excellent enough, but because you aren't in the same circle. Later I'll introduce you to some men from the Guangzhou Rich Circle, okay?"

Zhao Xinyi forced a smile:

"I can't even handle someone like Xiao Hua, so how could I handle those shrewd rich people?"

Zhao Xinyi even doubted herself for a moment:

"Sister Juan, do you think I'm not attractive?"

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly persuaded her:

"Don't think nonsense; you're so beautiful, how could you not be attractive?"

Then she added:

"Rest well; I'll bring food back for you. What do you want to eat?"

Zhao Xinyi shook her head:

"I don't want to eat anything; let me be quiet by myself."

Seeing Zhao Xinyi like this, Du Xiaojuan could only let her be.

Then she accompanied Wang Zhanggen, Li Xiulan, and Xiao Hua to Tsinghua for dinner.

On the way, Li Xiulan suddenly asked Xiao Hua:

"Xiao Hua, what did you say to Xinyan? She was happy and excited before climbing the Great Wall, but when she came back, she was listless?"

Xiao Hua hurriedly denied it:

"I didn't say anything; I don't have much in common with her, so what could I say?"

Hearing this, Li Xiulan immediately felt a bit disappointed.

Actually, she quite liked Zhao Xinyi; this girl had been very good to her and Wang Zhanggen all the way.

Most importantly, not only was she beautiful, but she also had a good temper; such a woman was obviously a capable wife and helpful assistant.

But Xiao Hua wasn't interested in her, so as a mother, she couldn't force anything.

"Don't you feel that Xinyan has feelings for you?"

Li Xiulan asked.

"Mom, you misunderstand Sister Xinyan, right? I'm several years younger than her; how could she possibly like me? Most girls like someone a bit older than themselves."

Xiao Hua deliberately pretended to be confused because he didn't want to discuss this topic with his parents.

He had a generation gap with his parents; if he truly opened his heart to discuss it, he couldn't understand his parents, and his parents couldn't understand him either, which would ultimately only lead to endless conflicts.

Indeed, even though he came up with such an excuse, Wang Zhanggen still blamed him in an unkind tone:

"I think you've become a fool from reading too much; she has feelings for you or not, and you can't even tell—you're a complete bookworm!"

Xiao Hua was scolded by his own father like this, but he wasn't angry; instead, he smiled and echoed:

"Right, right, I am a bookworm; how could Sister Xinyan possibly like a bookworm?"

Seeing that Xiao Hua actually dared to echo him, Wang Zhanggen immediately glared with both eyes wide open:

"You're going to anger me to death!"

Xiao Hua continued to pretend to be confused:

"Dad, don't be angry; if you have a cerebral infarction relapse from anger, that would cost a lot of money. Let me ask you: do you want me to find a Tsinghua girl as a wife, or a girl with an ordinary education as a wife?"

"Of course, finding a Tsinghua girl is better!" Wang Zhanggen answered without hesitation.

"Then isn't that settled? I also want to find a Tsinghua girl. Give me some time; I will definitely find a partner from the same school within the four years of my undergraduate studies."

After Xiao Hua said such things, Wang Zhanggen finally calmed down a bit.

But he didn't know that Xiao Hua saying these things was just a stalling tactic.

Now he really didn't want to waste time on romance; he just wanted to focus on his studies.

The competitive atmosphere at Tsinghua was too intense; he was afraid that if he relaxed even a little, he would become the tail of the class, which he could never accept under any circumstances.

After all, from primary school to high school, even if there had been a relatively low period, he had never become the tail of the class.

Du Xiaojuan helped smooth things over:

"Uncle and Auntie, Xiao Hua has high standards; it's normal that Xinyan isn't his type. We can't force it; nowadays it's all free love."

Wang Zhanggen muttered:

"With his looks, can he find a Tsinghua classmate?"

It was normal for Wang Zhanggen to have this worry.

Wang Xiaohua had the advantage of good grades outside, but at Tsinghua University, his grades were no longer an advantage, and might even become a disadvantage.

Under such circumstances, he had no strengths at all, so how could he catch the eye of a Tsinghua beauty?

Based on his experience as someone who had been through it, he felt Zhao Xinyi was already quite good and was fully worthy of Wang Xiaohua.

Most importantly, he very much wanted his three sons to find partners soon; that way, even if he suddenly kicked the bucket one day, he would die without regrets.

The four of them came to the canteen together, and while eating, Wang Zhanggen suddenly received a phone call.

It was his elder brother Wang Zhangtian calling.

"Younger brother, hurry back to your hometown; something big has happened."

Wang Zhangtian on the other end of the phone spoke with an anxious and heavy tone.

"What happened?"

Wang Zhanggen was stunned and hurriedly asked.

Wang Zhangtian's trembling voice said:

"Our ancestral grave has been dug up by some bastard!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen was immediately shocked:

"What?!?!"

He never expected that he and Li Xiulan had only left their hometown of Shangou Village two or three days ago, and the ancestral grave had actually been dug up!

"Which bastard is so heartless as to do such an immoral thing as digging up someone's ancestral grave!"

Wang Zhanggen flew into a rage.

He wished he could cut the bastard who dug up his family's ancestral grave into ten thousand pieces.

A middle-aged man like him, who was traditional in his thinking, placed great importance on the feng shui of ancestral graves.

Now that the ancestral grave had been dug up, wasn't that destroying the family's good feng shui!

You have to know, this feng shui not only made his eldest and second sons successful in their companies, but also got his youngest son into Tsinghua University; such good feng shui being destroyed like this was absolutely a huge loss for their Wang family!
