Chapter 408, True and False Daughter 24
When Lord Shuyan learned that Huo Xu'an was also admitted to the University of Washington, he was quite happy.
It would be nice to have a companion when you go to college.
So she made an appointment with Huo Xu'an to sign up together when school started.
But as soon as Tong's mother heard that they wanted to go alone, she snorted awkwardly, "How about you two kids going? At worst, I will go with you."
Shuyan Shangshen asked strangely, "What are you going to do?"
Just sign up.
Mother Tong puffed her lips and said arrogantly, "Of course I want to go. How can there be a child whose parents don't go to school? What will others think of our Tong family?"
In fact, she just wanted to go to Huada.
After all, BGI is notoriously difficult to get into in this city.
Even if you have money, you won't be able to get in because they only accept those whose grades are up to standard.
Among these wealthy wives, there are not many children who can enter the University of Washington, so Tong's mother is so happy. She wants to go to the University of Washington to take photos and post them on WeChat, so that other wealthy families can be envious.
Shuyanshangshen:...
The vanity of mothers cannot be underestimated.
On the day of registration for school, Tong's mother dressed up and went with them.
As soon as she got off the car, Tong's mother dressed as a lady and asked the servants to carry things for Shuyan Shangshen.
Shuyan Shangshen saw her holding a small fan and walking like a lady, and felt inexplicably funny.
It wasn't until the classmates looked over one after another that Shuyan Shangshen began to feel embarrassed.
After all, Tong's mother was too ostentatious.
But Tong's mother didn't notice, and she greeted her classmates enthusiastically, "Hello, I'm Tong Yuanyuan's mother. From now on, our Yuanyuan family will ask you to take good care of me."
"Okay auntie."
When the female classmates heard this, they nodded.
As soon as Tong's mother was happy, she immediately gave them gifts.
These are limited edition lipsticks that some girls like.
Seeing how generous she was, Lord Shuyan said, "Old mother, are you trying to bribe me?"
Mother Tong tutted at her, "This is called making friends. What kind of bribery? It sounds so ugly."
"Besides, you are living in the dormitory now, and your life will be easier if you have a good relationship with your classmates. I don't want to come to school to see you every day."
Shuyan Shangshen noticed that there was a rare concern in her words, so he asked suspiciously, "Huh? Why have you suddenly become a loving mother?"
"You stinky girl, you are rude. I am not a loving mother, am I a stepmother?"
Although she didn't like this bad-tempered girl, she was her biological child at least.
No matter how much you scold her at home, you won't really want anything to happen to her.
She doesn't understand anything and only sees herself as her enemy.
What a stupid girl.
Shuyan Shangshen saw that she was not that bad in nature, so he did not agree with her.
After packing up the dormitory, Tong's mother gave her another card and told her, "Spend what you need, don't always save a little money."
"Although our Tong family is not as good as the Huo family, it's not bad either. And you are studying in a prestigious school now, so you can't disgrace our Tong family."
In fact, Mother Tong has figured it out in the past few days.
Her mother-in-law was right, no matter how bad the child was, he was still her son.
If she doesn't get along well with her, it will be ugly if they cause trouble in the future.
She couldn't afford to be laughed at by other wealthy wives because she broke up with her biological daughter.
So this mother and daughter care about each other, and if they can be more harmonious, they should be more harmonious.
Upon seeing this, Lord Shuyan did not refuse.
"Okay, I'll take this card. If it's not enough, I'll ask you for it."
Mother Tong pretended to be cold and snorted, then said harshly, "Don't spend money on me, or I will tell your father."
Shuyan Shangshen laughed and said, "Okay." He said it very reluctantly.
It was rare that she didn't talk back, and Tong's mother was happy.
As for Huo Xu'an, only his eldest brother sent him.
In fact, the eldest son of the Huo family is not very close to his biological brother.
After all, they haven't lived together since childhood. There is no emotion.
But Mrs. Huo didn't want to come. As the eldest brother, he could only represent the Huo family.
Shuyan sighed, feeling that Huo Xu'an was not much better than Nian Yuanyuan.
To my surprise, even my parents didn’t want to register for college.
You see that Tong’s mother doesn’t love her very much, but she also knows that on the first day of her child’s registration, she should come over to support her.
But Huo Xu'an's parents obviously had no intention of coming over.
Even Young Master Huo came reluctantly.
Shuyan Shangshen silently felt sorry for him for a second.
But Huo Xu'an smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We haven't lived together since we were young. Not only do they have no feelings for me, I also feel the same for them."
And his grandfather's health is gradually recovering.
That's enough.
Shuyan Shangshen thought so and said, "Shall I go with you to visit your grandpa that weekend?"
Huo Xu'an nodded and said yes.
So on the weekend, Shuyan Shangshen carried her things and went with Huo Ming to the nursing home to see the old man of the Huo family.
"Xu An, who is this?"
It was the first time Mr. Huo saw his grandson bring his classmates to meet him, which was quite novel.
Huo Xu'an introduced him with a smile, "Grandpa, this is my classmate, her name is Tong Yuanyuan, she is the daughter of the Tong family."
Mr. Huo nodded, smiled and asked Shuyan to sit down.
"Xu An, go cut some fruit for your classmate."
"good."
Huo Xu'an went to wash the fruits, while Shuyan Shangshen sat by the bed and talked to the old man.
She took a rough look at the old man's lifespan and found that he could only live another three or four years at most.
Hey, Huo Xu'an was the only one who loved him so much.
If the old man wasn't even here, I don't know how sad Huo Xu'an would be.
Mr. Huo also knew how pitiful his grandson was, so he sighed.
"Little classmate, I am dissatisfied with what you said. In fact, I am also afraid that if I die, that boy Xu An will be helpless."
After all, the Huo family is very taboo about Huo Xu'an returning to the Huo family.
They all believed that their youngest son was born with bad luck, so they did not plan to let him return to the Huo family.
And Huo Xu'an knew that he would not be liked by them, so he would not go back.
Mr. Huo knows how cruel his son and daughter-in-law are.
I also know Huo Xu'an's pride.
So he was very afraid that after his death, Huo Xu'an would be helpless.
God Shuyan comforted the old man and said, "Don't worry, everyone has to grow up. No matter what happens to grandpa in the future, as long as you don't leave with pain, Huo Xu'an may feel better."
"And you should also be optimistic and try to teach him something more, preferably philosophy of life and a strong character."
Only if Huo Xu'an is strong enough will he be able to hold on when Mr. Huo dies in the future.
Mr. Huo nodded, thinking so.
However, he still felt sorry for his grandson. After all, he had raised him single-handedly, and he still wanted someone to accompany the child.
So the old man thought for a moment and suddenly said, "By the way, kid, grandpa has something unkind to ask you."
"You say."
"Well... that's it. Grandpa would like to ask, do you have any interest in Xu An from our family?"
Shuyan asked, "Huh? Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Mr. Huo sighed, "Actually, I still can't worry about this kid. If you are interested in him, grandpa would like to hold an engagement ceremony for you."
In this way, when he passes away in the future, his grandson will have someone to accompany him.
