Eldest Daughter was Reborn

Chapter 74: Suggestion

Zhang Yansheng now thinks back to these things that happened at that time, only to feel that Xu Lichen’s mother did the right thing.

At that time, Xu Lichen made things more serious with his illegitimate brother. With his character and his already paranoid mind at the time, if he continued to develop like this, maybe he would draw a knife and stab the illegitimate child one day.

Mother Xu’s methods were tough at the time, but she effectively avoided worse things.

Of course, neither Xu Lichen nor she could understand this at that time.

Xu Lichen’s relationship with his mother was very frosty. He felt that her heart was full of money, and she was only vying for property from his dad, and didn’t care about her son.

But Zhang Yansheng now thinks back to the situation of Xu’s mother at that time. Her husband betrayed her. The mistress’ son was raised so big and so good. Xu Lichen’s father was the one with power in the company. She was thinking about transferring assets little by little, and she had to paralyze him with a smile and act as a loving couple with him outside. How much pressure does she have to bear?

However, her biological son is not only a disappointment, but also ignorant.

“Her son is the same age as me, she must be a middle-aged woman, right? What the hell is this kind of heroine in a romance novel?” Xu Lichen looked sick.

Zhang Yansheng shrugged her shoulders: “Xu Mulin is your cheap brother. He is a legendary other people’s child. He was signed by Yinghua Experimental High School after graduating from elementary school. Do you know Yinghua Experimental? They have the two-four school system,¹二四学制 – The two-four system is a kind of teaching system, two years in junior high school, four years in high school, you can go directly to the school’s high school. the kind that connects from middle school to high school. Your brother studies well. If he comes to our Yi High School, he definitely will be admitted to the top class.”²Translator’s Notes: I’ve actually used elementary, middle, and high school in the translation, without knowing that I will encounter this information here. But in this novel, junior high school is the same as the middle school. Three years in junior high then another three years in senior high.

Xu Lichen snorted unhappily.

Zhang Yansheng finished it off with: “Your dad loves him very much.”

Xu Lichen was angry: “Zhang Yansheng!”

“You can’t bear it?” Zhang Yansheng stared at him.

Xu Lichen suppressed his anger and asked her, “I don’t know these things, so how do you know about them?”

“I heard it from gossip.” Zhang Yansheng lied without changing her face, “If you want people to know it, you can’t do it yourself. K City is so big, and the entire business district is so big. If you don’t believe it, just ask your dad about my dad. Even if they haven’t had any business together, they should have heard of each other, maybe they met on some occasion.”

She said quite eloquently: “Anyway, gossip has come and passed onto me, I listened to it with relish. Then one day, I suddenly discovered that the protagonist’s own son was in the same school as me, and he was the guy who was cheekily harassing me. Ho!”

Xu Lichen believed it.

Before, he had been surprised how Zhang Yansheng knew his private room number in Baochi, but then Zhang Yansheng blew him up with such a big incident, and he threw his doubts about that matter behind his head. After all, it was just a trivial matter compared with this matter.

Now he is not in the mood to deal with Zhang Yansheng’s ridicule, his mind is full of chaos.

Zhang Yansheng glanced at him for a while, watching the expression on his face change, gritting his teeth, anxious and angry. The piece of homework paper was crumbled into a ball unconsciously by him in his hand.
