Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Tang Junyao comforted Su Xue: "Xiao Chen did a great job this time. Don't let his usual carefree attitude fool you. His performance this time shows that he's very reliable when it comes to serious matters. Isn't your Xiao Nan the same? Let him be the leader this time."

Guoguo chimed in, "That's right, if Su Can gets into university this year, I'll serve him tea for a month."

Tang Junyao, Su Xue: "............"

Seeing that everyone was silent and staring blankly at her, Guoguo continued, "Really, if he can get into the university my husband chooses, I'll move all three meals to his bedside."

Everyone laughed.

The two children were texting with their heads down. There were only three people chatting in the group. Ji Xinyu, Ji Xinhan, Lu Qingchen, Han Yinuo, and Han Yichen did not bring their phones to school during their school years. Su Can's phone had long been confiscated by Su Yu. The elementary school students did not have phones.

Guoguo continued, sighing, "Really, my husband almost had a heart attack because of his exam score last time. My husband and I have decided to make Cancan repeat a year. He definitely won't be able to go to university this year."

Just then, her phone chimed with a message from Lan Yunxi. She opened it and glanced at it: "..........."

Group message: We are severely criticizing Han Yichen. He did not complete his homework during the three-day holiday. He did not write a single word on his Chinese or English test papers, and he did not even write his name. He is the only student in the class who did not touch his homework at all. Parents of Han Yichen, we hope you can take some time to supervise him. The first year of high school is the time to build a foundation. If the foundation is not solid, it will be very difficult to learn in the third year. Thank you for your cooperation.

Tang Junyao noticed that Lan Yunxi's face had darkened and her shoulders were slumped, so she asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Lan Yunxi didn't want to talk about it anymore. She was just laughing about Su Can, but now she couldn't laugh at all. She directly showed her phone to everyone.

After reading the message, Guoguo laughed so hard, slapping his thigh, "What a true brother, we're evenly matched, haha. Well, this kid's probably going to get a scolding when he gets home tonight, he's too lazy to even write his name."

Tang Junyao's forehead throbbed as she looked at the message. It was indeed infuriating and embarrassing. No wonder this child wanted her to attend the parent-teacher conference. "Xixi, I think your rescue plan with Han Yue needs to be brought forward."

Ji Xinyu leaned over and glanced at her aunt's phone, "............."

After a long pause, Ji Xinyu finally said, "Didn't Xiao Chen say he finished his homework yesterday?" Apparently, he hadn't even written his name.

This is what they call finishing writing and getting itchy skin, right?

Ji Xinhan was also curious about what was going on, so she put on her slippers and ran over to see. After seeing it, she burst out laughing. "Auntie, if you can't bear to hit him, I'll teach him for you tonight. I guarantee I'll beat him so badly that he'll never dare not to do his homework again."

Tang Junyao glared at her daughter. "Sit down. What business is it of yours? Mind your own business."

Ji Xinhan sat back down in her original seat with little interest and replied to messages in the group chat. Lu Qingchen was already cursing and swearing, saying that the two sisters were crazy.

Ji Xinhan replied: Your mother said you ascended the throne today. I'm just concerned about you, right, Minister Lu?

Lu Qingchen: My mom is at your house?

Ji Xinhan: Hmm, yeah, we were talking about your ascension to the throne.

Lu Qingchen: "........."

Ji Xinyu sent her brother a private message: Brother, Xiao Chen didn't do a single word of his homework yesterday, and the teacher just criticized him in the class group.

Ji Jiale did not reply to his sister's message, but sent a notice directly to the group chat: Starting today, Su Can and Han Yichen are not allowed to attend parties before the end of the semester.

Ji Xinhan was satisfied with her brother's swift and efficient actions: "Great job!"

Sensing something amiss, Lu Qingchen asked, "What's going on? Did Xiao Chen not do his homework?"

Ji Xinhan: My mind works better after I ascended the throne, so I got it right.

Lu Qingchen: Get lost.

Seeing that Xixi was in low spirits, Su Xue changed the subject, "Yaoyao, let me tell you, I'm liking Lele more and more now. My future son-in-law is just too handsome. Let me tell you, if you arrange a marriage for Lele, I'll definitely come and fight you with a 40-meter-long sword. Just imagine the child Lele and Yueyue would have if their genes matched, their looks would be off the charts, Guoguo, don't you think?"

This is a difficult matter to judge. Guoguo couldn't bear to discourage Su Xue, so she said tactfully, "But your remote matching won't work. Yueyue and Lele need to be matched in real life." They've been matching for so many years.

Ji Xinyu really wanted to wake up Aunt Su Xue and tell her that her brother really didn't like Sister Yueyue, but with so many people around and Aunt Su Xue all smiles, she couldn't bring herself to be cold to her, so she shook her head helplessly.

She sent another message to her brother: "Brother, Aunt Su Xue is downstairs demanding that you and Sister Yueyue get engaged, but Mom didn't agree."

Ji Jiale quickly replied: Just shut your mouth.

Ji Xinyu pursed her lips, as if her brother's words were expected. She glanced at Aunt Su Xue, who was putting on a one-woman show, shook her head helplessly, and replied: Oh, okay.

In the group chat, Ji Xinhan and Lu Qingchen were still arguing, with the screen filled with messages like "Get out!" and even challenges to a fight. No one tried to stop them.

Tang Junyao peeled an orange and answered Su Xue, "I neither object nor try to match them up. My stance is simple: it's up to the child."

Su Xue was anxious about her best friend's half-hearted attitude and said provocatively, "I seriously suspect that you look down on our Yueyue."

Tang Junyao still had a segment of orange in her mouth. "Big sister, I think our Lele is not good enough for your precious daughter."

"Bullshit, how can you say you're not a good match? Looks, family background, height, age, even a tadpole could match."

Everyone: "............." facepalm.

Tang Junyao reminded her, glancing at her best friend who was getting increasingly carried away, "You don't need to be so detailed with your vocabulary, that's enough."

Su Xue: "Anyway, I think they're a good match."

Lan Yunxi advised, "Sister Xue, don't worry. Maybe they can get back together in the end. Mutual affection is the best thing."

Su Xue: "Our Xixi always speaks the most pleasing words. We're sure we'll fall in love."

Guoguo spoke the truth: "Xiaoxue, I think if you want Lele to be your son-in-law, you still need to deal with Xiaonan's paranoia. Xiaonan now sees everyone as a potential son-in-law and you have to be wary of them. Luckily, Lele and Yueyue aren't very close, otherwise Lele would definitely be the prime suspect."

Tang Junyao smiled but didn't reply. She didn't know how to respond, so she simply remained silent. There were some things she couldn't say yet; she would let her son handle them himself.

Ji Xinhan and Ji Xinyu also think they are a good match. The only regret for the two sisters is that their brother doesn't like them, and neither does Yueyue.

Su Xue waved her hand. Lu Jinnan's protection of Yueyue was indeed a stumbling block. Any man would feel that Lu Jinnan was trying to take his daughter away from him, which was indeed a problem. "As long as Lele likes our Yueyue, Xiao Nan's matter is not a problem. If he dares to stop me, I... I will talk to him and make sure he doubts his life and completely agrees."

Guoguo: "I thought you were going to kill Xiaonan."

Su Xue waved her hand and said in a serious tone, "If I kill Xiao Nan, I can't be a widow."

The twins: ".............." It seems that Lu Qingchen's genes have been found.

Guoguo and Tang Junyao smiled.

Tang Junyao changed the subject, "Guoguo, can I ask you how you managed to get rid of the idea of ​​having a daughter?"

Before Guoguo could answer, Su Xue spoke up, picking at the cherry tomatoes on the plate. Every cherry tomato in the plate was bright red. No one knew what she was picking. "My brother said that if we had a daughter, we wouldn't be able to make a mahjong table when she got married. There would be a situation where we're missing one player. This is just right. If all four of our sons get married in the future, we can still make a mahjong table."

Guoguo nodded, "I think my husband makes a lot of sense. We originally planned to have one table, but before we knew it, we had two."

Tang Junyao couldn't find a suitable adjective in her mind: Su Yu was good at persuasion.

Ji Xinyu, Ji Xinhan, Lan Yunxi: Is it really possible to give advice like that? Such high emotional intelligence.

The kidnapping incident was considered to be over. Su Xue, Han Guoguo, and Lan Yunxi stayed at the Ji residence for about two hours before leaving.

Evening, at the Han family villa.

The Han family couple, Lan Yunxi, and Han Yinuo were sitting in the living room. Each of them had a different expression, but what they all had in common was that their eyes were filled with worry. Only Han Yichen and Han Yue were standing.

Han Yichen lowered his head, staring at his toes, his hands behind his back, in a posture that said, "I'm ready, go ahead and yell at me."

Han Yue was even angrier at the sight of that infuriating look. His forehead throbbed, his lips pursed tightly, and he gripped the ruler more tightly. The ruler struck his palm with a loud thud, as if drumming in the hearts of everyone on the sofa. Only Han Yichen, who was standing, felt nothing at all.

He remained in the same position, without even lifting his head.

Mr. Han wanted to persuade his grandson to admit his mistake, but before he could even open his mouth, his mother tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to shut up.

Even Han Yinuo didn't dare to plead for her brother this time. Her brother had really gone too far this time. Yesterday, both her mother and father asked her brother if he had finished his homework, and he actually lied through his teeth.

This isn't a problem of poor grades; it's a problem of attitude, and it's very serious.

No one dared to offer advice, and no one dared to offer any protection.

Even Lan Yunxi sat quietly on the sofa, worried but not daring to interfere, because Han Yue was really angry this time.

Han Yue continued to strike with the ruler in his hand, one in a posture of being ready to strike at any moment, the other in a posture of being ready to be beaten at any moment, their movements perfectly coordinated and quite tacit.

"Tell me, you said you finished your homework, so how did you get today's roll call?"

Han Yichen lowered his head and answered in a low voice, without arguing, "I didn't think of it for a moment. I thought I had finished."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ruler struck Han Yichen's bottom with all his might. Han Yue used all his strength, and Han Yichen jumped up from the blow, but he didn't utter a single cry of pain or even a groan.

The people sitting on the sofa wanted to speak but dared not, their hearts clenching. It was painful just to watch. Han's mother helplessly rubbed her temples, thinking that raising children was easy, but raising them was difficult.

Han Yue gritted her teeth in anger, letting out a sigh of relief, afraid she would die of anger. "Han Yichen, if you had said you couldn't do it, I might have let you off today. Why didn't you forget about going out to play too?"

Han Yichen didn't reply and just lowered his head.

Seeing that his son did not answer, Han Yue raised his hand and struck Han Yichen's bottom with the ruler again, but the child still did not cry out in pain.

Mr. Han: This child has backbone, just like Xiao Yue. When Xiao Yue was a child, he would never cry out in pain when he was beaten. He has surpassed his father. Sigh.

Seeing his son remain silent and stubbornly refuse to speak, Han Yue's anger flared, and he slapped him 15 times in quick succession, focusing on one side. Han Yichen's buttocks burned with pain as he pleaded, "Dad, can you switch sides?"

At first, everyone frowned with each hit, but after Han Yichen finished speaking, everyone thought he was finished.

Sure enough, the next second, Han Yue not only didn't switch sides, but focused on hitting one side, and even sped up the pace. After hitting one side, he made Han Yichen extend his left hand, and he hit the palm of Han Yichen's left hand until it was swollen before stopping.

As a result, Han Yichen didn't shed a single tear, but just twitched his mouth in pain. Han Yinuo and Lan Yunxi couldn't bear to watch any longer, and the Han couple also stood up.
