Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

Chapter 64 - Interlude: Xu Xing (3)

Shortly after they went upstairs, they could hear the sound of tea cups being smashed.

It wasnt this bad just two years ago. The more successful Zhong Chi was, the more draconian he had become and the less patient he was. Smashing tea cups was nothing.

After going back upstairs, Li Jinyuan suddenly called out to Zhong Yuhuan.

Yeah? What s going on? Zhong Yuhuan looked at his dubiously, waiting for him to go on.

Li Jinyuan smiled tenderly and with a hint of awkwardness, I am ready. When do we leave?

Zhong Yuhuan cocked her head and said, That fast?

Li Jinyuan said in a low voice, Not that fast. 130 days, 3120 hours. Many things could have been done already.

Huo Chengming also chimed in from one side, I am ready as well.

Zhong Yuhuan blinked. It had been that long already?

It had been that long since she had adopted them?

Wait a little while longer, said Zhong Yuhuan.

Why? asked Li Jinyuan dubiously.

We will be coming back here in the future so your network is very important. The kids that you hang out with at school right now will become your network in the future. We should be more familiar with them first before we leave, said Zhong Yuhuan.

She had no idea how Huo Chengming started out in the book.

But if he had natural talent, wouldnt his possibilities be even broader if he also has a larger network?

The same applied to Li Jinyuan. If he had a big network, then he wouldnt have to struggle as much as he did like in the book when he went into entertainment.

Whatever you say, said Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming simultaneously.

Zhong Yuhuan nodded and said, Okay, lets go to bed.

There were still noises coming from downstairs, but Zhong Yuhuan had no more interest in eavesdropping.

To put it simply, ever since she had replaced the original owner, the new Zhong Yuhuan was no longer on the same level as Xu Yushan and Xu Xing.

All they ever thought about was to plot against what belonged to Zhong Chi. They wanted the shortcut way, not how to make it on their own.

They network only for the purpose of kissing up to others.

But that wasnt Zhong Yuhuans way.

And Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan would also be different in the future.

Xu Xing returned back to his school not too long after he arrived at the Zhongs mansion.

He claimed that the school asked them to go back sooner, but Zhong Yuhuans speculation was that he couldnt stand being lectured by Zhong Chi.

Xu Yunhui had been hinting left and right for Zhong Chi to initiate Xu Xings transfer to Murphy High School.

Zhong Chi was in line with that idea as well. However, he didnt want to hold a banquet in the future while claiming Xu Xing as his own but Xu Xing would show up, act cloddish, and made a fool out of himself among those from the upper class.

Time flew by.

Zhong Yuhuan finished junior high school and entered into senior high school.

Xu Yunhui and Xu Yushan never forgot the $5 million that Zhong Yuhuan got from Zhong Chi. During this entire time, Zhong Yuhuan had never moved out. It would be difficult for Xu Yunhui to bring this up to Zhong Chi. Zhong Chi, on the other hand, had long forgotten about that $5 million.

After all, Zhong Yuhuan had stopped causing trouble ever since then. To him, that money had bought him quiet and peace and that wasnt a bad thing.

Xu Yushan had no interest in sharing what was bothering Xu Yunhui, nor had it occurred to her to reach out and ask about her brother. She wasnt successful when it came to Young Master Nan, but after several more matching making, she finally found herself Young Master Nans cousin, Nan Xuyang.

Zhong Yuhuan took down the #1 position in another examination. The group of second generation rich kids took her out to celebrate.

During the gathering, Yan Sen asked her, Zhong Yuhuan, when are you going overseas?

I havent decided yet. What about you guys?

Probably another 6 months or so, then we will be ready to go.

This was when Zhong Yuhuan realized that they were all eager to go overseas; everybody was just waiting for her to say when.

Zhong Yuhuan chuckled and said, Okay, then we all start getting ready now. We will reconvene overseas!
