BXBX NOVEL Chapter 100: Death Scene
Chapter 100
Gu Junxing was at a loss. He didn\'t know what "male mom" meant, but judging from the words, he could guess the general idea.
It must be said that high-end residential areas are indeed different. The next day, when Nian Suian ordered takeout again, someone actually delivered it right to her door.
On Monday, Gu Junxing went to work and Gu Zhijing went to school, leaving her as the only one eating at home.
Although takeout offers a variety of options, eating it too often isn\'t good. After just two or three meals, Nian Suian felt tired of it. Moreover, she suffered from decision paralysis, spending nearly half an hour agonizing over what to order each time.
In fact, Nian Suian could cook. When she was a working-class girl, she often cooked to save money, though her culinary skills were merely passable.
But being able to cook doesn\'t mean liking to cook. Now that she had the means, who would still want to cook?
While eating, Nian Suian chatted with Gu Zhijing. The school\'s sports meet was coming up in a couple of days, and the boy was already in high spirits.
[Little Mom, when you come to school, I\'ll treat you to Sister Hong\'s Home Cooking!]
[You\'ll treat me?]
[Yes, I will! Don\'t underestimate me, I\'ve got plenty of money on my meal card.]
Seeing Gu Zhijing so excited, Nian Suian thought back to her own school days. Back then, everyone loved sports meets, probably because it meant no classes!
The sports meet was scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Gu Junxing even cleared his work schedule for Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Gu Zhijing had no competitions, and Gu Junxing had important work, so he wouldn\'t be going.
Early Wednesday morning, the family of three, along with Butler Su, left home for the school. During these three days of the sports meet, except for the third-year high school students, the other two grades didn\'t have to attend morning or evening self-study sessions.
The school had arranged viewing areas for each class. After parking the car, Gu Zhijing led the three adults towards the sports field.
When Nian Suian was in school, parents weren\'t invited to sports meets. But as soon as they entered the school gates today, she noticed the difference. Almost every child was accompanied by their parents. Gu Zhijing, leading three adults, wasn\'t even considered a large group: some looked like entire family clans had turned out.
Nian Suian thought to herself that the residents of this tycoon world really did take their children\'s activities seriously.
"Teacher Cen."
As they reached the sports field, Nian Suian saw Cen Xi standing next to the Class 3 sign.
"Suian, Mr. Gu, you\'ve come so early!"
"Yes, we didn\'t have much else to do, so we came with Zhijing."
Cen Xi pointed behind her and said to them, "Well, find a place to sit. This area is for our class."
Gu Zhijing didn\'t sit down. He planned to go to the supermarket to buy some water and snacks for everyone. He felt that since they had come to his school, his territory, he should be a good host.
As Gu Junxing, Nian Suian, and Butler Su sat down, Gu Junxing was about to speak when Nian Suian stopped him.
Because she saw... Xu Licheng!
Only Xu Licheng had come from Xu Yuan\'s family. Her grandparents were elderly and not in the best health, so Xu Yuan didn\'t want them to come. Instead, she gave Xu Licheng a task: to record videos. She thought it would give her uncle something to do and keep him from bothering Teacher Cen.
However, unexpectedly, they ran into each other as soon as they arrived.
When Cen Xi saw Xu Yuan and Xu Licheng, her expression didn\'t change. She smiled and told them to sit at the back. Xu Licheng, possibly having been warned by his niece in advance, didn\'t say anything to Cen Xi this time.
When choosing seats, he even wanted to sit in the front row, but Xu Yuan forcibly pulled him away, making them sit behind Nian Suian\'s group.
Nian Suian overheard Xu Yuan whispering to Xu Licheng, "Uncle, don\'t forget what you promised me. Otherwise, I won\'t let you come tomorrow."
"I know, I know."
Xu Licheng, fearless since childhood, was only afraid of his brother, and now he had another person to fear: his brother\'s daughter. He must have owed this father-daughter duo in his past life.
Gu Zhijing went to buy things on his own but returned with Chu Mingyan, Chu Mingyan\'s mother, and Qi Anlu.
As soon as Chu Mingyan saw Xu Yuan, he scurried over. His mother was still talking to Cen Xi and hadn\'t noticed.
"Hello, Aunt Nian, Uncle Gu, Butler Su." After greeting the three, Chu Mingyan immediately turned to those behind them.
"Xu Yuan, don\'t you think we should practice a bit more today?"
Before Xu Yuan could respond, Xu Licheng spoke first: "So you\'re Chu Mingyan?"
Seeing this man sitting with Xu Yuan and noticing their resemblance, Chu Mingyan immediately started flattering him, completely missing the danger in Xu Licheng\'s tone.
"I\'m Chu Mingyan. You must be Uncle Xu. Uncle Xu, you look so young, much younger than my dad. You look like you\'re just in your early thirties."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan lowered her head and covered her face to stifle her laughter.
"Thank you. I\'m twenty-nine this year," Xu Licheng said through gritted teeth. This brat\'s eyesight must be terrible, and he seemed quite stupid too. And he dared to pursue his family\'s precious girl?!
Xu Yuan reminded from the side, "Chu Mingyan, he\'s my uncle, not my dad."
"Oh? Your uncle? Hello, Little Uncle."
This made Xu Licheng even angrier. "Who are you calling \'Little Uncle\'?!"
"I\'m sorry, Uncle." Chu Mingyan didn\'t dare call Xu Yuan anymore and fled in panic. If he could, he would have escaped to outer space.
Chu Mingyan\'s mother finished talking with Cen Xi and saw her son looking dejected.
"What\'s wrong with you?"
"Mom, you look so beautiful today. You don\'t look like you\'re in your mid-forties at all."
Chu Mingyan\'s mother exploded upon hearing this. "You little brat, are you asking for death? I\'m 42 this year!" Not satisfied with just scolding him, she pushed him aside and sat down herself. "You\'re annoying to look at. Get lost."
Chu Mingyan sighed and sat down next to Gu Zhijing and Qi Anlu, not daring to look back this time.
His mistakes today were just that stupid.
Nian Suian, who had witnessed the whole scene, was laughing so hard her stomach hurt. She had to pinch herself twice to barely contain her laughter.
Gu Junxing, sitting beside her, waited for her to finish laughing before silently handing her a tissue. "Here, wipe your eyes. You\'ve laughed until you\'re crying."
After wiping her tears, Nian Suian asked, "Zhijing, when is your competition?"
"The opening ceremony is in the morning. My high jump is in the afternoon."
Qi Anlu added from the side, "Auntie, Zhijing is also the flag bearer for the opening ceremony."
Neither Nian Suian nor Gu Junxing knew about this. "Why didn\'t you tell us at home?"
"To give you a surprise!"
Nian Suian said regretfully, "If I had known, I would have brought a camera to take photos of you."
"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key. The main thing is that I\'m handsome. Phone cameras or regular cameras, it\'s all the same."
