CHAPTER 1511: CHAPTER 1512 DING XIANG AND GARDENIA

Wei Qingshan hurriedly protested, "Say what you will, but when it comes to grades, I’m definitely not the worst!"

Speaking of which, there are now two newcomers to the Wei family. One is Liang Xinyue. Since she’s been adopted by Wei Songbo and his wife, she’s now Wei Qingshan’s sister. The other one is you, and Wei Qingshan doesn’t think your grades are better than his because, after all, you’re a soldier. He hasn’t heard of any soldiers excelling in academics.

"Rascal, since you say that, let’s compete and see now."

Wei Wuyue first bowed his head and gently asked the new little niece in the family, "Little Xiao Yue, tell Uncle how your grades are?"

Liang Xinyue tilted her adorable head and used sign language to communicate with Wei Wuyue.

Once she finished signing, Wei Yingyue spoke, "Little Xiao Yue says she’s always been first in her grade at school."

Then, Liang Xinyue signed again. Wei Yueying, just beginning to learn sign language, didn’t understand completely but managed to translate, "Little Xiao Yue says she wants to be a soldier when she grows up."

"Good! Truly worthy of being my granddaughter, Wei Tong!" Old Grandpa Wei was very pleased to hear this and laughed heartily.

You naturally understood and added, "She means she wants to attend a military academy and become an excellent soldier, like her brother, Liang Zi."

Upon hearing this, Liang Xinyue nodded vigorously at you, a radiant smile blossoming on her delicate face.

"Ah, now that’s right. Soon we’ll have another female officer in our family." Li Mengjun was very fond of Liang Xinyue. Her words seemed to reflect the shadow of Wei Yingyue, and they helped Li Mengjun fulfill her own dream of becoming a soldier.

Zong Lin, who had known Li Mengjun since childhood, her cheeks counted as family friends, knew of Li Mengjun’s childhood dreams and smiled at her, saying, "Now Sister-in-law’s childhood dream can be realized through Little Xiao Yue."

"So, do you now realize you’re at the bottom? Do you know you need to strive and work hard?" Wei Wuyue turned his head to look at his son.

Wei Qingshan naturally wouldn’t accept it and turned his head to look at you, "Brother-in-law’s grades definitely aren’t better than mine!"

"I indeed didn’t take the college entrance exam."

You spoke honestly, Li Tian’s age reported as 25 was intentionally falsified years ago by Chen Houtu.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingshan immediately lifted his head, full of smiles, "See, I told you, didn’t I? Since brother-in-law..."

"However." The next sentence you spoke almost made Wei Qingshan kneel down, "I received special invitations for admissions from the National Defense Science and Technology University, National Defense University, and two officer academies for the Army and Air Force."

With these words, everyone was shocked, even Wei Yingyue, who thought you were just a mud-stomping special soldier.

"That, that means your military aptitude is top-notch, not your grades." Wei Qingshan still clung stubbornly.

Feeling helpless, you yawned slightly, looking up at the ceiling, "Forced by my master, within a year, I obtained eight master’s degrees from these four universities, averaging two each."

"Pfft!"

Wei Qingshan directly spewed water, extremely depressed—this is what being top of the class means!

As everyone recovered, Wei Tong suddenly asked, "Why not the Navy?"

You instinctively touched your nose with your left hand, finally pinching the tip lightly with your thumb and index finger, "My master doesn’t have a good relationship with the vice principal there; I heard they’ve been at odds since childhood."

Wei Wuyue and others turned their heads to Wei Songbo because Chen Houtu had the best relationship with him, and he should know this secret.

"Ahem, ahem, Houtu has already passed, and I can’t badmouth him, but he always seemed to have a bad relationship with Old Hu, fighting whenever they met since young."

"Which Old Hu?" Wei Tong asked.

"The one who was the commander of the Original Southwest Military Region Steel Brigade."

"Oh, that little tiger from the Southwest, huh." As an old hand in the military, Wei Tong knew anyone with some skill. "After the Steel Brigade disbanded, that kid apparently became a navy officer down in the South Sea."

Wei Songbo nodded, "Yes, currently serving as the vice principal at the Naval Military Academy."

With a sly smile on his face, Wei Wuyue laughed heartily while slapping Wei Qingshan’s shoulder heavily, "Rascal, just accept it now. From now on, you need to devote all your energy to your studies, just like your grandpa said. We don’t ask for anything else, just that you can get into Jiangzhe University, any department will do!"

Wei Qingshan nodded, at this point, he had no strength to argue.

Because of Wei Qingshan, the topic of moving house that Wei Songbo brought up earlier was set aside. Now Wei Songbo looked at you again, saying nothing but with such a gaze that you felt helpless. You had no choice but to say, "I tend to travel light, don’t need to move anything. Just buying new sheets, a blanket, and some toiletries will do."

"That’s easy; I’ll ask Little Wu to take care of it now."

As he spoke, Wei Songbo picked up his phone and ordered his personal secretary to buy the items.

"Well, that’s settled then, haha. I’m happy today, so I’ll cook myself!" With that, Old Grandpa Wei got up suddenly.

"Dad, I’ll help you!" Wei Wuyue quickly followed up.

"You rascal, you’re not really helping; you just want to learn my cooking skills secretly, don’t you?" From the kitchen came Old Grandpa Wei’s hearty laughter.

In this regard, Wei Wuyue and Wei Qingshan seem to be cut from the same cloth, "Hehe, Dad, your signature dishes are even praised by Old Wang, the culinary genius of the logistics department."

The family thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Afterward, Wei Songbo and his wife intended to take Liang Xinyue back to their villa directly, but Liang Xinyue pleaded to spend one more night with you, and naturally, they agreed. The child was nostalgic, and they genuinely liked her.

However, when Wei Yingyue drove you and Liang Xinyue to her regular residence, you couldn’t help but be stunned, secretly marveling at how small the world is. As it turns out, your two homes were in the same neighborhood, the only difference being that Wei Yingyue bought a small villa, while yours was a unit apartment.

When you entered Wei Yingyue’s villa, carrying Liang Xinyue, a faint fragrance greeted you. After a quick sniff, you couldn’t help but praise, "I didn’t expect you to like gardenias."

"I’ve liked them since childhood." Wei Yingyue gave you an extra glance as you guessed the flower just by smelling the delicate fragrance upon entering, "Seems like you also quite like flowers."

"One is lilac, the other is gardenia." You placed Liang Xinyue on the shiny floral marble floor, taking in everything in the house.
