After they finished eating the snacks, Xi Wan invited Xi Ze to stay for dinner.
At the dining table, Xi Wan mentioned that Xi Ze was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination. âDidnât you say that the school would guarantee a postgraduate degree?â
âYes, there is only one spot. The spot for our department belongs to me.â
âDonât the other students have any objections?â Xi Wan asked this purely out of concern. When she was still in school, some of her classmates had gotten into a fight because of a guaranteed entry. In the end, they even got into a fight with the police. She did not want Xi Ze to encounter such a thing.
At first, Xi Ze said that there were no objections, but after eating a few mouthfuls of rice, he changed his words. âIf you are talking about objections, then my roommateâs attitude towards me has been a little different recently. Heâs talking in a strange way and seems to be very angry that I got the spot for the postgraduate degree.â
âWhat roommate?â
âHis name is Wei Ning.â Xi Ze said as he ate, âBut I can understand why heâs angry. His home conditions are not good. They sold two sheds just to support his studies. He was originally determined to get this place but he didnât expect the school to choose me in the end.â
âMaybe your results are better than his?â Xi Wan said, âYou canât question the schoolâs decision.â
âHowever, the quota for postgraduate studies is selected from the top three. If one of them wants to study abroad, then it will be the two of us competing.â Xi Ze said, âAlthough my results are slightly better than his, he really needs this spot more than me. I can pass the exam by studying myself. Even if I donât pass, I can do it again.â
âThis is the schoolâs decision.â Xi Wan said, suddenly remembering the school anniversary. âIs your school anniversary delayed?â
âYes.â Xi Ze replied, âSomeone in the principalâs family is sick, so the school anniversary has been postponed to next month. The principalâs original intention was to hold it on the day the results of the postgraduate entrance examination were released. This way, it would be a double blessing for the first place.â
âYou donât have to take the exam then.â
âI still want to take the exam. I want to see what my level is like.â Xi Ze said, âOtherwise, I donât feel secure holding this spot in my hands.â
âDo as you please then.â Xi Wan replied slowly.
After dinner, Xi Wan went to the backyard to sit on the cradle chair. She then took out her cell phone to play a game.
When Xi Ze saw this, he asked in disbelief, âYour guest is still here and youâre playing games? Is this reasonable?â
Xi Wan looked at him innocently and asked, âDo you want to play too?â
â Iâm coming.
The two of them played games together and successfully gained points.
After one of the games ended, Xi Wan received a call. She glanced at the name on the note. It was Grandpa Su.
âGrandpa, whatâs the matter?â
âWanwan, are you free tomorrow night?â Su Xiu asked.
Xi Wan: âIâm free.â
âCome home for dinner tomorrow night then. Su Xun?s parents have returned from abroad, so I want you to meet them.â
After saying that, Su Xiu hung up.
He was not here to ask for Xi Wanâs opinion, but to inform her.
Xi Ze was a little puzzled. âSu Xun should be the one to tell you about this, right? Why didnât he say anything?â
Ever since he found out the truth of this marriage, he had never addressed Su Xun as âMr. Suâ again. Instead, he referred to him by name to show his rebellious spirit.
Xi Wan replied, âHeâs overseas on a business trip and canât come back.â
Xi Ze was shocked. âThis is a trap! You canât go!â
After this call, Xi Ze was unwilling to continue playing games with Xi Wan. âWhat are your plans for this banquet? Su Xun isnât with you now. What if you expose yourself if you go alone?â
âShouldnât Su Xun be considering it?â Xi Wan asked.
Xi Ze fell silent because what Xi Wan said made sense.
Meanwhile, Xi Wan was communicating with the system. âDidnât Su Xun come back for this family banquet?â
The system tried to activate it many times, but to no avail. It could only say: [I donât know either. Thereâs limited access to this part.]
Xi Wan was at a loss as well.
Xi Ze looked at the clouds in the sky. After a while, he said, âI heard that Su Xun?s relationship with his parents isnât very good. ItâS very likely that they will also make things difficult for you. I heard that his parents have often been biased since he was young.â
âBiased?â Xi Wan was puzzled. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThey are biased towards his brother.â Xi Ze looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, âEven Xi Kang said that if Su Nuo was still around, Su Xun wouldnât have had the chance to take over the Su Group..â
