Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 38

Everyone packed up and sat in the shade of the garden to have a barbecue.

Su Miaomiao liked to eat grilled small yellow croakers. Su Mingan made it himself for his daughter, but before the roast was finished, an important call came. He had to put down the small yellow croakers to answer it.

Tang Shiwei was just about to take over her husband’s unfinished cooking, but Xie Jingyuan walked to the grill and helped flip through the five small yellow croakers.

Tang Shiwei secretly smiled, who would be dissatisfied with such a prospective son-in-law?

When Su Mingan came back, five small yellow croakers were already placed in front of Su Miaomiao.

When Su Mingan looked at his wife, Tang Shiwei looked at Xie Jingyuan who was silently eating roasted corn.

Su Mingan got a little uncomfortable. He took a fish from his daughter to taste, and found that the taste was not inferior to his. Su Mingan immediately felt a sense of crisis. He could already imagine that his daughter would really marry Xie Jingyuan in the future. His status in the family would change.

Xie Rong grilled several skewers of squid, because his son was close, he handed over two skewers.

Xie Jingyuan took them, and then naturally put them on Su Miaomiao’s plate.

His son was so good at taking care of the person he liked at such a young age.

However, Xie Rong was also very satisfied with Su Miaomiao, who was beautiful and smart. Seeing the grown-up child with his own eyes, his feelings were different.

After the dinner party, the five left.

Qiao Lili stood beside Xie Rong, looking at the SUV going away, smiled and said to Xie Rong, “If didnt know them, I would have thought that they are a close family of five.”

Xie Rong glanced at her indifferently.

He thought he was rich, but he also thought he was not a good son. He had been busy in business those years, and his mother had been sick several times, and it was Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei who were busy running around.

Qiao Lili had to take care of the twins, and she was also very tired. He didn’t ask Qiao Lili to care for his mother, but he didn’t bother to listen to Qiao Lili’s eccentricity to provoke his relationship with the Su family.

“You guys are going to start school too, have you finished your summer homework?” Xie Rong asked the twins.

Xie Wenlan: “It’s summer homework, the first grade teacher will not check.”

Xie Rong: “If she doesn’t check, you won’t do it? You just lack self-discipline. Become like your elder brother, who reviewed high school courses in advance during the summer vacation.”

Xie Wenlan tilted her head and muttered softly, “Yes, yes, elder brother is the best, and my brother and I are not as good as him.”

Xie Rong pursed his lips and went to the study alone.

Qiao Lili stared at her daughter resentfully, “Don’t you know how to say something nice to your father?”

Their IQ was not comparable but EQ should be higher anyway, right? With Xie Jingyuan’s iceberg temper, as long as her son and daughter acted cute, they would definitely win Xie Rong’s favour.

Xie Wenlan was impatient to listen to the lesson, turned around and ran away.

Qiao Lili pinned all her hopes on her son, “Jingze, your mother will hire you the best tutor during middle school. You should study hard and try to catch up with your elder brother.”

Xie Jingze: …

Even if he turned into an eight-winged angel, he wouldn’t be able to catch up!

The next day was the last day of August, and also Su Miaomiao’s last day of vacation.

At 6:30 in the morning, Su Mingan ruthlessly knocked on the door of his daughter’s room, “Miaomiao, get up, you agreed to get used to the high school schedule from today.”

Su Miaomiao pulled up the quilt to cover her head.

Su Mingan yelled a few times, and said to his wife, “Forget it, let her sleep in for another day. Tomorrow is just the start of school, and there is no need to get up early today.”

Tang Shiwei: “You are just spoiling her!”

Su Mingan: “You do what you want.”

Tang Shiwei turned around and went to brush her teeth.

On September 1st, Su Miaomiao finally woke up at eight o’clock after her father kept knocking on the door.

After washing her face and changing her clothes, she came to the living room, and saw Grandma Tao and Xie Jingyuan sitting there, like every school day before.

After breakfast, Su Mingan drove and sent the children to school with Grandma Tao.

Still on the way, Su Miaomiao received a call from Feng Xiaoyu, “Miaomiao, I saw your name. It’s amazing, you and Xie Jingyuan are in the same class again, both in Class 9!”

The girl’s voice was so loud that everyone in the car could hear it.

After hanging up the phone, Su Miaomiao looked at her father, “Dad, have you asked for help again?”

Su Mingan: “Not this time, but I heard that Class 9 and Class 10 of each grade in No. 1 High School have always been the classes with the most top students.”

Some schools even had experimental classes and key classes. No. 1 High School did not make such an obvious classification, but there were some special arrangements.

Both his daughter and Xie Jingyuan were academic scholars, so the probability of being grouped together was quite high.
