The old man waved his hand triumphantly and said, "Yiqiu, get in the car. Today we'll show those old guys what it means to be low-key."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao's lips curled slightly: how could his heart be at peace?
Not to mention the old man, even he has been chatting with his colleagues about his daughter getting into university every now and then these past few days, though he hasn't been making it too obvious.
Mr. Xiao glanced at Du Juan and said, "You go in first, I'll go to work."
Actually, he shared the same thought as the old man: he wanted to get to work as soon as possible and start a new round of showing off.
Now that my niece has also passed the exam, we have a new topic to talk about.
When the old man and his entourage arrived at the restaurant, they ran into Mr. Xu, who was hosting the dinner. After exchanging pleasantries, the two went into the restaurant together.
After Old Master Xiao went inside, he asked, "Did you book the whole place?"
Grandpa Xu said, "It's not easy for the family to have someone who can study, and I'm not even allowed to be happy about it."
Well, Old Master Xiao rolled his eyes at him: "Whatever makes you happy, no one's stopping you."
Grandpa Xu said smugly, "I'm in a great mood right now, so I'm not going to be angry with you. By the way, you really are something, why didn't you bring the younger generation of the family over to meet them?"
Just as Old Master Xiao was about to speak, he heard someone behind him say, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Xiao, what are you talking about?"
Grandpa Xu spoke first: "We're not talking about my grandson who's good at studying. Your Uncle Xiao is just envious."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yanshan, who had spoken up, said, "Didn't Uncle Xiao's two granddaughters also get into university? Why are you envious of your grandson?"
Grandpa Xu was displeased when he heard this: "My grandson got into the University of Science and Technology. Which school did your son get into? Tell us so we can all be happy for you. Look at me, I didn't try to hide it from you at all."
Upon hearing Old Master Xu's words, Wen Yanshan's lips twitched: "Uncle Xu, let me remind you, we can't speak too definitively." Old Master Xu waved his hand: "What does it matter if I speak definitively or not? As long as I'm happy."
Wen Yanshan scratched his head: "Uncle Xu, Uncle Xiao's granddaughter also did very well on the exam."
Old Master Xu was displeased: "Young Master Wen, are you never going to stop?"
After saying that, he looked directly at Grandpa Xiao and asked, "Which school did your granddaughter get into? What's wrong? You don't dare to say it in front of everyone?"
Wen Yanshan covered his face and said, "My dear Uncle Xu, no one else is trying to expose you, but you're the one doing it yourself."
Then, Old Master Xiao asked calmly, "Which granddaughter are you asking about?"
"What? Judging from your tone, there's more than one college student in your family. You're really something."
Before the words "daring to boast" could be uttered, Old Master Xiao said, "My second son's eldest daughter got into BJ Normal School. Girls should be good at being teachers. In the future, she will educate people and have students all over the world. How fulfilling that would be! Don't you think?"
Grandpa Xu didn't directly say that she didn't do as well as his grandson, but Grandpa Xiao continued, "Her younger sister did even better than her."
He paused briefly, glanced around the restaurant, and then slowly said, "I applied to Peking University's Department of Political Science and Law."
As soon as he finished speaking, the restaurant erupted in cheers: "Old Xiao, not bad at all, your two granddaughters are really promising."
"The Department of Political Science and Law—that's a place with limitless potential and a promising future!"
When Old Xu heard everyone praising Xiao's granddaughter, he wanted to slap himself. He thought to himself, "Really, why did I argue with Old Xiao? Now look what's happened, I've just made a wedding dress for him."
