The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

Everyone then looked over upon hearing the sound and nearly burst out laughing.

There was indeed a small fish on the hook, so small that it was less than the length of an adult's little finger. It was thin and skinny, and it was pitifully wagging its tail.

Grandpa Qian couldn't help but chuckle:

"Old Lu, you went through all that trouble just to catch such a small fish?"

Grandpa Li: "This fish isn't even as big as the holes in that net."

Grandpa Sun: "Hurry up and release it. Aren't you ashamed of such a small fish?"

Shen Zhi didn't forget to add fuel to the fire; she carried a small bucket and huffed and puffed as she ran over.

"Grandpa Lu, so you like little fish! Zhizhi, I'll give you all the little fish Grandpa caught. The big fish Grandpa caught is really big, enough for many people to eat."

Killing people and killing people is nothing more than that.

The four old men opposite them burst into laughter.

Professor Qian gave Shen Zhi a thumbs up: "Old Shen, your little girl is truly a wonderful person!"

Grandpa Lu looked at Shen Zhi with a sinister gaze, his knuckles white as he gripped the fishing rod, looking like the kind of man who would beat a child.

Shen Zhi anticipated Old Master Lu's movements and, the instant the fishing rod was swung down, she subtly jumped to the right.

The fishing rod and hook got caught in the tree.

Grandpa Lu tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't budge. He pulled again, and a clear "snap" was heard.

A fishing rod worth tens of thousands of yuan broke in two.

Shen Zhi touched her nose, suppressing a laugh:

"Oh, Grandpa Lu, even if you don't want to give the fishing rod to my grandpa, you can't just break it."

Grandpa Shen had already run towards Shen Zhi when he noticed Old Man Lu's motives, picked her up and held her protectively in his arms.

The other three grandfathers, following closely behind, also stood in front of Shen Zhi, just like the three great protectors, staring at Old Master Lu with unfriendly expressions.

"Old Lu, are you going to try and fight me?"

"You're incompetent, so you take it out on the kids? You're really something."

"Your Lu family may have some influence in Beijing, but don't think you can mess with us!"

Grandpa Lu felt he was having the worst day ever, so he abandoned all the remaining fishing gear, put his hands behind his back, and left.

After returning to the Lu family, he became increasingly angry.

Even seeing Lu Yuche, whom he usually liked the most, was unusually displeasing to him. He rushed forward and questioned him with a stern face:

"What are you doing out at this hour?"

Lu Yuche was taken aback; his grandfather had never spoken to him in such a cold tone before.

"Mom is going to take me to visit Grandpa Qian and wants to ask about yesterday's competition results beforehand."

"You're not allowed to go! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough already?!"

Old Master Lu suddenly roared, startling Lu Yuche.

Before he could react, Old Master Lu called the butler and locked Lu Yuche in the study.

"You're not allowed to leave the house until you finish ten practice tests today! My grandson absolutely cannot be worse than anyone else!"

No matter how much Lu Yuche knocked and called out, the door remained completely still.

The window in front of the table became his only way to peek into the outside world.

From his study, one can see the gate of the Shen family's old residence.

At this moment, Shen Zhi followed Old Master Shen home, and Shen Linchuan, who heard the commotion, came out of the courtyard.

Even without hearing their voices, just by looking at their body language, Lu Yuche could easily guess that the little girl had sweetly called out "brother" again.

Mr. Shen, dressed in trendy clothes, didn't look like a man in his seventies or eighties at all; from behind, he looked more like a young man.

He patted Shen Linchuan on the shoulder familiarly, and the three of them, grandfather, grandfather, and grandson, entered the villa with smiles on their faces.

That relaxed and carefree atmosphere was something Lu Yuche could never have dreamed of.

The Shen family's lunch was still a simple home-cooked meal, but the dinner was confirmed to be a whole fish feast, using the nearly one-meter-long big bluefish that Old Master Shen had caught that afternoon.

Grandpa Shen was in a good mood and invited Grandpas Qian, Sun, and Li to dinner.

As soon as Professor Qian got out of the car, his eyes were fixed on Shen Linchuan.

He came to the Shen family not just for food, but also to strike while the iron was hot and quickly recruit Shen Linchuan, this exceptional talent, to Peking University!

Professor Qian quickly approached, smiling warmly, showing none of the airs one would expect from a professor at a top university.

"Linchuan, do you recognize me now? I'm your Grandpa Qian!"

This time, Professor Qian was clearly not familiar with the person, so he tried to gain recognition by associating himself with Old Master Shen.

Shen Linchuan looked bewildered, staring wide-eyed at Shen Zhi in his arms.

"I remember you were the proctor yesterday, but wasn't calling you 'Grandpa Qian' a bit too familiar?"

Shen Zhi nestled on Shen Linchuan's shoulder, her soft lips parting slightly as she spoke:

"Brother, Grandpa Qian is Grandpa's good friend. They go fishing together."

If you put it that way, Shen Linchuan would have a vague recollection of it.

It turns out that he was Qian Lao, who was known as one of the four great air force leaders in Beijing along with my grandfather. I just didn't expect that he was also a professor in the Physics Department of Peking University.

"Brother, Grandpa Qian said you did exceptionally well on your test yesterday, and he wants to kidnap you!"

"How could Grandpa Qian kidnap someone? You're talking nonsense again."

Shen Linchuan smiled and gently poked her soft dimples, his eyes overflowing with doting affection.

"Zhizhi isn't lying!" The little girl hugged his neck, tossed her head back, and her smugness was written all over her face. "Not only does Grandpa Qian want you, but Grandpa Li and Grandpa Sun are all fighting over you!"

"My older brother is the best, even more popular than Zhizhi~"

Professor Sun immediately responded, his eyes shining brightly, and went straight to the point:

"Linchuan, I'm your Grandpa Sun. Are you interested in AI? Come to Tsinghua University's Computer Science Department, and Grandpa will personally mentor you!"

Professor Li, not to be outdone, directly addressed the issue from the perspectives of family and the future, making his arguments highly persuasive.

"If you ask me, choosing the Finance Department at Peking University is the safest bet! It will allow you to utilize your talents while also helping manage your family's business; your future prospects are limitless!"

As soon as Old Master Shen entered the door, he saw three old friends bombarding Shen Linchuan like they were chanting a mantra.

The once spirited young man was now completely exasperated, almost wanting to disappear underground.

"Grandpas, please spare me! I just want to rest quietly for a few days," Shen Linchuan pleaded, his hands clasped together.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a smug smile on Shen Zhi's face sitting next to him, and he raised an eyebrow.

She had stayed to keep Zhizhi company, while Zhizhi seemed relaxed and at ease.

Not only did I not see him this morning, but now I've brought him back three troubles.

Shen Linchuan immediately decided to shift the blame and pass the problem to Shen Zhi:

"Grandpas, I really can't choose. But I'll listen to Zhizhi; she's our family's lucky star. She helped my third brother choose e-sports and got my second brother into Mingli Medical College. She has the best eye; she'll definitely help me choose the best path, right, Zhizhi?"

Shen Linchuan winked at her secretly, a smug grin on his face.

"Huh? Me?" Shen Zhi pointed at herself with her little finger, her round eyes widening even more, her face filled with confusion. "But I'm only five years old..."

The three professors, far from finding the decision absurd, all looked at Shen Zhi with anticipation and solemnity in their eyes, as if she could truly decide the fate of the world with a single word.

They had already witnessed Shen Zhi's strength while fishing today; this little girl certainly had some substance to her name!

They didn't actually believe they could catch so many fish on their own.

In an instant, Shen Zhi felt completely overwhelmed.

What a jerk!

That's absolutely a disaster for your sister!

૮₍ꐦ-᷅⤙-᷄₎ა

But she really cares about her older brother's future. With so many opportunities in front of her, it would be a shame not to seize them.

The little girl stretched out her small hands, cupped Shen Linchuan's face, and examined him seriously, looking at his features with great seriousness.

Shen Linchuan indulged her, letting her turn her head around as she pleased.
