Chapter 1493 Bad Character

Suning was naturally unhappy that Zhuang Tunan chose Tongji University's Department of Architecture, just like in the original drama. He felt that the child was a little too stubborn.

Or perhaps the child is still too young. Only after he suffers a beating in society can he understand what "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans" means.

Then he thought that he was not his biological father, he was just borrowing his father's body, so Suning no longer took it to heart.

A middle-aged white man with gleaming eyes came into Suning's office. "Mr. Zhuang, I heard you have a wife and children in China?"

"Divorced! The two children are raised by my ex-wife." Suning did not hide anything. After all, this information was all in his file.

Then the middle-aged white man suddenly looked at Su Ning in front of him and asked, staring intently at the micro-expressions on Su Ning's face, "Mr. Zhuang, have you ever thought about immigrating to the United States?"

"Of course! After all, I quite like life in the United States, but unfortunately I can't make a decision right now."

"Why?" The white man couldn't help but feel a little confused. He really couldn't understand why Suning was hesitating.

At this time, Suning took the blame for Zhuang's parents, saying, "Because my parents still need my care, I need to convince them before I can immigrate."

Westerners can't understand the Chinese people's family relationships, and they can't help but complain, "Oh my God! You Chinese have too much to consider."

"There's nothing I can do! I plan to take some time to go back to China and try to convince my parents to agree to my immigration."

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

Suning naturally had no plans to immigrate to the United States, but the identity of Bird Ebo in front of him was not simple. Although he would be a vice president in charge of logistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology next year, he was actually a senior CIA intelligence officer.

With Suning's current important position and authority in the international mathematics community, the Americans naturally want to claim Suning and his academic achievements as their own. There are many people like Bird Ebo who come to test Suning.

Therefore, what Suning said was just perfunctory, and the immigration tendency shown was also misleading, so as to prevent Bird and Ebo's gang from doing anything desperate.

Of course, Suning has also thought about returning to China for development. Some domestic colleges and universities have also contacted him, but Suning feels that people from China do not have enough status, and their future treatment and benefits in China will definitely not be very high, so it is still important to build up his prospects at MIT in the United States.

Then Bird Ebo took a sip of coffee and looked at Suning again and said, "Mr. Zhuang, I came here to tell you some good news."

"Oh? Bird Ebo, are you getting married again?" Although Suning had roughly guessed what the news was, he pretended to be calm and made a joke to Bird Ebo.

Sure enough, Bird-Epo is very fond of Suning, which is why he believes that Suning will immigrate to the United States. After all, Suning's personality and habits are very different from other Chinese people. To be precise, Suning is more like an unrestrained American.

Bird Ebo couldn't help laughing and explained, "Haha, of course not! This good news is about you. You have been nominated for this year's Fields Medal."

"Huh? It's just a nomination! It doesn't guarantee you'll actually win the award."

"Mr. Zhuang, if you can become an American citizen as soon as possible, this Fields Medal will definitely be yours."

"It's too late! Although I will definitely become a US citizen, it's definitely not now. Things at home haven't been truly resolved yet."

"Oh? That's such a shame. Your work on NP-Complete Problems was truly explosive. It would be a shame if you missed out on the Fields Medal just because of your nationality."

Suning shrugged nonchalantly and said to Bird Epo, "There's nothing we can do! Since it doesn't work this time, let's try for the next one four years."

However, Bird-Epo disagreed and said, "Mr. Zhuang, you're too stubborn. How can you possibly solve another world-class problem like NP-Complete? If we miss this opportunity, it's hard to say what will happen next time. After all, the Fields Medal also has an age limit."

"Bird Epo, I'm actually very heartbroken as well, but the cultural differences between the East and the West are so great that you simply can't understand my difficulties."

Then Bird Epo suddenly looked at Suning nervously and asked, "How confident are you that you can convince your parents?"

"Of course one hundred percent! But what they value more is the attitude. Of course, we have to leave them enough pension." Suning looked at Bird Ebo without hesitation and boasted.

"I see."

In fact, Suning didn't believe Bird-Epo's nonsense at all. He would definitely win the Fields Medal this time. It had nothing to do with his nationality. He had to know that he had solved one of the seven most difficult mathematical problems in the world.

The reason why Bird Ebo said this to him was just to intimidate and bribe him, and it was the kind of rhetoric that was beneficial without any cost.

Of course, if it were any other scholar studying in the United States, they would have obediently followed Bird-Epo's words, but Suning is not the kind of loser with no confidence.

……

Now, holding the newly received admission letter, Huang Ling happily prepared a celebratory banquet with her family and invited neighbors and friends to share this joy.

The table was filled with sumptuous wine and delicacies, and the atmosphere was warm.

During the meal, Song Ying suddenly talked about Lin Dongzhe's past, and laughed at how she was often scolded by her teacher because of him. She also made a wish that as long as Lin Dongzhe could be admitted to a junior college, she would hang red silk to celebrate.

After hearing this, Huang Ling readily agreed to help hang the red silk and share this hard-earned honor.

At the banquet, Zhang A-mei praised Zhuang Tunan's knowledge and mentioned that she hoped Xiaojun could also receive Zhuang Tunan's guidance in the future to help him improve his studies.

Huang Ling suppressed her disgust and looked at Zhang A'mei in front of her and said, "A'mei, you are really going too far. Your Shanshan is also among the top students. It will be easy for her to get into university."

"Huh? Sister Ling, then I'll leave it to you to say good things." Sure enough, Zhang A'mei responded a little unnaturally, and naturally she could see the unwillingness on Huang Ling's face.

At this time, Huang Ling looked at Zhang A-mei solemnly and made a promise. Naturally, she wanted Zhang A-mei to treat Wu Shanshan well. "A-mei, you can rest assured about this. I have always been very accurate in judging people. Shanshan's future is definitely bright. You and Old Wu can just sit back and enjoy the good life!"

"Really? I haven't really paid attention to Shanshan's studies."

"Although Shanshan only attends No. 3 Middle School, her grades are definitely very good."

"..."

Huang Ling then looked at Song Ying and Lin Wufeng with gratitude, intending to change the subject. "Song Ying, Wufeng, the fact that our two families can share a yard and a kitchen is entirely due to your family's understanding and acceptance. For this, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you."

"Sister Ling, this is just a small favor, nothing to worry about." Song Ying understood what she meant and quickly raised her glass and smiled indifferently. She and Huang Ling had a tacit understanding after years of getting along.

"Song Ying, if it weren't for your and Wu Feng's help over the years, I really might not have been able to hold on."

"Sister Ling, now that all the hardship has ended, you can just wait and enjoy the good life from now on!" "Yes, Song Ying, you are right."

After the meal, Huang Ling deliberately revealed to Song Ying, "Song Ying, Tunan's grandparents are planning a dinner party to celebrate Tunan's admission to university. I'd like to invite your family to attend."

However, Song Ying was a little hesitant at first, "Sister Ling, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"We will always remember your family's help over the years, and this time it was Tuanan's grandparents who paid for it, so you don't have to be polite to me." However, Huang Ling did sincerely invite Song Ying's family.

"That's good! I suddenly feel that your divorce from Zhuang Chaoying is actually a good thing. You don't need to worry about Zhuang Chaoying's face like before. Instead, I feel that you are living a more comfortable and happy life now."

"Indeed! Living with that Zhuang Chaoying is so depressing. He always considers his own face first, and now he only thinks about his own future."

"Yeah! I can't have a man like that no matter how capable he is."

At this time, Lin Wufeng happened to return, and Huang Ling told him about the dinner. Although Lin Wufeng did not hear the details clearly, he readily agreed.

On the day of the dinner party, Lin Wufeng seemed a little embarrassed. It turned out that he had no idea that this was a banquet specially arranged by Zhuang's parents to celebrate Zhuang Tunan's admission to university.

Huang Ling carefully ordered dishes for everyone, but Zhuang's mother hypocritically said that she was not very hungry and only needed to order a bowl of wontons. She also smiled and said that she could have two wontons from Zhuang Xiaoting's bowl to try.

However, Huang Ling secretly ordered one more portion. Seeing this, Zhuang's mother said helplessly that she had already said she would only eat one bowl.

Huang Ling responded playfully that she also had a mouth and needed to eat, which made the old lady a little embarrassed for a moment, but she couldn't help laughing.

During the meal, Huang Ling specially asked the waiter to add a bottle of drink for Lin Dongzhe, and took the opportunity to thank him for taking care of Zhuang Xiaoting during her illness and hospitalization, saying that although he was an outsider, he was more caring than family members.

Zhuang's parents were naturally very embarrassed at this moment, but they endured it when they thought of Pengfei's situation. "Huang Ling, now that Tunan has been admitted to university, why don't we send Pengfei, Zhennan, and Zhenbei to your place?"

"What? Do you think of my place as a nursery, or do you think of me as your Zhuang family's nanny?" As expected, Zhuang's mother's request made Huang Ling not care about saving face for them.

Mrs. Zhuang retorted somewhat embarrassedly, "This... Huang Ling, how could you think that?"

"Don't forget! I've divorced your son. I don't owe anyone in your family any money now. Instead, everyone in your family owes me, Huang Ling."

"..."

At this moment, Zhuang Tunan suddenly looked at Huang Ling and said, "Mom, I also want Pengfei to go to school in Suzhou. Can you agree to let Pengfei come to our house?"

Zhuang Tunan's backstabbing left Huang Ling devastated. She realized that the Zhuang family's bad habits were hereditary. "Tunan, I've told you everything I should and shouldn't say. Are you going to follow your father's example and bully me?"

"I……"

Now when Huang Ling looked at Zhuang Tunan in front of her, she felt as if she was looking at a replica of Zhuang Chaoying, both of whom were the kind of men who cared about face and were extremely hypocritical.

At this time, Song Ying hurriedly persuaded her, "Sister Ling, don't get excited! Today is a happy day, so let's not talk about these troubles."

"Tunan, I'll make it clear in front of you Zhuang family today. I can accept Pengfei for your sake. As for Zhennan and Zhenbei, don't even think about it."

"..."

"Also! I want to emphasize this to you Zhuang family members once again. If you use your Zhuang family's mess to disgust me again next time, don't blame me, Huang Ling, for not showing any respect for you."

"..."

……

Zhuang Tunan was about to embark on the journey of studying, and he insisted on not letting his family see him off, but Huang Ling and others still insisted on seeing him off to the door, and everyone's heart was filled with reluctance.

After Zhuang Tunan left, Huang Ling couldn't help but shed tears, not knowing whether her efforts were worth it.

Not long after, Zhuang Tunan sent a letter from the university, describing the beauty of the university and the rich collection of books in the library.

At the same time, Lin Dongzhe and Pengfei, who came to Suzhou, had a great time playing outside. Lin Dongzhe also participated in a Rubik's Cube competition and won the third prize.

When Song Ying and Lin Wufeng saw the certificate, they could hardly believe it was real, as if they were meeting their precious son for the first time.

On the other hand, Zhuang Xiaoting also published two essays and used the royalties to buy a scarf for Huang Ling, which naturally made Huang Ling, the mother, ecstatic.

Then Zhuang Xiaoting expressed her wish to go to Shanghai to visit Zhuang Tunan, and Huang Ling promised to take her there on New Year's Day.

However, the troublemaker Lin Dongzhe also clamored to go after hearing this, but Song Ying firmly disagreed, saying that she would wait until he ranked in the top 20 in the grade before considering it.

However, Lin Dongzhe and Pengfei secretly discussed going on their own. They planned to ask Uncle Qian, who had previously sent Lin Dongzhe back to Suzhou, for help and take his long-distance bus to Shanghai, so that they would not have to buy tickets.

Huang Ling was very anxious when she learned that Lin Dongzhe and Pengfei had secretly gone to Shanghai. She immediately stopped the two who were in a hurry to pack up and leave, and suggested that they call Zhuang Tunan first and ask him to pick them up at the station.

Li Jia also rushed to the classroom at this time, found Zhuang Tunan, told him the situation, and offered to go pick them up together, thinking that one more person means more strength.

Fortunately, Zhuang Tunan and Li Jia arrived at the station in time and successfully picked up Lin Dongzhe and Pengfei who were safe and sound.

At the same time, Song Ying and Huang Ling were extremely anxious because they could not buy tickets to Shanghai.

At this time, Yiming called and said that he had received a notice from Zhuang Tunan that both children were safe and sound. He immediately rushed over to report to everyone that they were safe.

Although Song Ying and Huang Ling were both very worried, considering that Huang Ling was also worried about Zhuang Xiaoting being alone at home, they finally decided that Song Ying and Yiming would go to Shanghai in person to pick up the child. Naturally, Yiming did not hesitate at all.

Lin Wufeng only learned about this series of events after he returned home. He was also extremely anxious and immediately ran to the door to wait for their return.

Soon, Song Ying and Yiming returned safely with Lin Dongzhe and Pengfei. Lin Wufeng hurried forward to meet them, and the family was finally reunited.
