Chapter 498: Get the advantage and leave
On the school road.
Lu You put his hands in his pockets and walked alone. A faint white mist came out of his mouth and nose and dissipated into nothingness.
Tang Wan was not around, but the topic they had discussed previously still lingered in Lu You's mind, constantly expanding.
Lu You was wondering what his family’s reaction would be if they found out that a strange woman came to them pregnant with his child.
The eldest uncle, the second uncle and the like are excluded, and only parents and grandparents are considered.
First of all, you will get a scolding, and there is a high probability that you will be served special pork braised in rattan sticks.
She got pregnant before marriage, had affairs, cheated on her husband, and even caused a death, completely destroying the family tradition that had been built up with decades of effort.
Lesson learned, the next step should be to mobilize personal connections, find out the whole story, and verify the child’s blood relationship.
Later on, Lu You estimated that things would be pretty much as he had expected.
If the child is not your biological child, you can go through legal procedures and demand compensation or send him to work on a sewing machine.
If it is your biological child, you should also go through the legal process and fight for custody. If you win, raise the child well. If you don’t, it doesn’t matter, just spend some money to get rid of the child.
As for relying on children to get into the house, that is impossible.
The Lu family is not a single-line family. The family has many branches and leaves. One more child won't make much, and one less child won't make much either.
At this moment, the high-frequency vibration and reminder ringtone from the mobile phone in his pocket interrupted Lu You's thoughts.
Lu You took out his cell phone and looked at it carefully.
It was a video call from Shen Yuyin.
The ringing lasted for a while before Lu You clicked to answer the call.
He really doesn't want to make video calls unless it's necessary.
When the video was connected, the first thing that came into view was an upward view of a young face.
The triple chin that looks good no matter how you turn it, the rosy peach-like face, the big, twinkling black grape eyes, and the slightly upturned mouth, how can you not be adorable.
【Good evening, brother! Have you eaten? 】
Lu Jingshu is the only girl that Lu You can't help but smile when he sees her.
"I ate already, how about you?"
[I’ve eaten it too! ]
"What to eat?"
【I ate a lot! 】
Lu You's perspective changed for a while, and after it stabilized, he saw Lu Jingshu's front.
【There are fish, chicken, cow, and eggs! 】
Oh, I'm sorry, my dear sister!
My brother is guilty!
One of the prices of growing up is losing a pure and innocent heart.
"There are so many dishes tonight, are there guests coming to your house?"
Lu Jingshu nodded twice, and her soft hair rose and fell.
【Grandpa, grandma, and uncle are all at our house.】
"Do you know what they are here for?"
[Come on, Xiaoshu, give your phone to your mother.]
Before Lu Jingshu could reply, her phone was taken away and the view shook again.
When the perspective stabilized again, it was replaced by a beautiful face with lazy eyebrows and eyes. The facial features were 70% similar to Lu Jingshu.
"mom."
Shen Yuyin said "hmm" lightly.
【Have you eaten yet? 】
"Your daughter asked the same question half a minute ago."
Shen Yuyin smoothed her hair, ignored Lu You's offense, and continued speaking.
【You are not in the dormitory? 】
"I just sent Logan to the teaching building and am on my way back to the dormitory."
[Is it cold over there? ]
Lu You pulled the phone away and tilted the front camera downwards towards the heavy clothes on his body.
"Do you think it's cold or not?"
[She is wrapped up like a dumpling, and looks extremely cold. 】
Lu You turned the phone back to the normal position and said, "It's mainly because it's cold outside, the temperature is low, and the wind is strong. There's heating inside, so just put on a coat."
[I saw in the weather forecast that a strong cold front will move south in the next few days, and it is very likely to snow heavily where you are. I bought four sets of warm underwear, two sets for you and Wanwan. It is expected to arrive tomorrow, remember to pick it up.]
"Okay, got it."
Since he was a child, Lu You's clothes were all taken care of by Shen Yuyin. It was still the same when he grew up, except that there was an additional person, Tang Wan.
Lu You doesn't like to tinker with clothes. First, he's lazy; second, he's not interested; third, he's handsome and has a good figure, so he can still look stylish in a snakeskin bag; fourth, Shen Yuyin and Tang Wan have better aesthetic tastes and know how to dress up better than Lu You himself.
"By the way, why did Grandpa and the others come out from their hometown?"
[Your grandfather's comrade-in-arms asked him to meet up and go to the hospital for a physical examination.]
Comrade?
Thinking about my grandfather’s current age and past experiences, those who can be called comrades-in-arms are most likely early players who have carried guns and shed blood for the country.
"Have the medical examination reports come out? Are grandpa and grandma in good health?"
[I can only say that it is neither good nor bad. I haven’t found any major problems, but after all, I am old and my body functions are aging, so I have minor problems such as high blood pressure and osteoporosis.]
"what did the doctor say?"
[What else can I say? Just pay attention to your diet, exercise, and get regular checkups.]
Lu You felt a little choked up inside, as if there was a stone pressing on his chest, with no way to vent.
Aging is truly an inevitable journey for human beings and even all life. No matter how rich or powerful you are, you cannot escape it.
[Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’m hanging up. ]
"Wait." Lu You quickly got rid of his negative emotions and called Shen Yuyin, "I need your help with something."
【explain. 】
"I'm planning to order two pieces of gold jewelry, and I want to ask if you have any help."
【Order gold jewelry?】
Shen Yuyin's relaxed expression instantly turned serious.
[Are you proposing? ]
"No, it's too early to propose."
【Tsk, boring.】
In an instant, Shen Yuyin changed from being serious to being relaxed.
Such a fast face-changing speed was so outrageous that no matter how many times Lu You watched it, it was even faster than Li Xianghe switching screens.
[If you're not proposing, why are you ordering gold jewelry? To please Wanwan? ]
"I guess so! Wanwan's birthday is on the first of next month, so I'll order some gold jewelry as a birthday present."
[I will transfer a WeChat friend to you later, and you can chat with him yourself. ]
"Thank you, Mom."
[Customized gold jewelry is not cheap. Do you have enough money? Do you need my sponsorship? ]
The word "enough" was on the tip of Lu You's tongue, but when he heard the word "sponsorship", he swallowed it back immediately.
“Please sponsor!”
……
Inside the teaching building.
Tang Wan walked up the stairs slowly, one step at a time, and students passed by her from time to time.
There are still ten minutes before the meeting starts. There is plenty of time and no need to rush.
I walked to the front door of the classroom where the meeting was held and entered.
There were already many people sitting in the audience, gathered in groups of two or three, chatting happily.
There was only one minister with expressionless face on the stage. He sat straight in front of the podium, facing his laptop, looking thoughtful.
Tang Wan hesitated for a moment and walked up to the podium.
"Good evening, Minister."
Song Wu turned his gaze from the computer screen to Tang Wan and asked in a cold tone, "Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it." Tang Wan said seriously, "I want to give it a try."
"Ah."
Throwing a leaf into a pond would at least cause some ripples, but Song Wu's expression remained unchanged, and his tone remained flat, making it hard to understand.
"Go down and find a seat. Listen carefully to the meeting later. Don't be distracted. I will rearrange your work."
"Okay, Minister."
Tang Wan found a seat where there were more girls.
Tang Wan has no friends in the student union, but she does have some acquaintances she can talk to.
After chatting with several girls about their winter vacation life for a while, Song Wu clapped his hands and informed everyone that the meeting had begun.
At the beginning of the meeting, a capable girl with a high ponytail came to the stage and read an opening speech in a passionate voice.
Tang Wan recognized this girl. She was the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, named Qin Que, and she was very pretty.
Willow-leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, fair jade skin, crescent lips, every frown and smile touches the heartstrings.
In fantasy novels, she is either the courtesan in a brothel or the saint of the Hehuan Sect.
It is said that there were two boys in the student union who were pursuing her at the same time. It was quite a commotion, with jealousy and fighting, and they almost had a fight.
While Tang Wan was happily reminiscing about the old melon, she was also glad that she had foresight and had chosen a good tree to live in early on.
Qin Que's style can make the water in a pond muddy, so if I am even more capable than him, wouldn't I be bringing disaster to the country and the people?
Tang Wan came back to her senses after her narcissistic remarks, finished her opening remarks, and came to the work summary.
The host was Qin Que again, reading from the script word for word.
What activities were held last semester, how many guests were received, and what evaluations did the school leaders give.
For those who do well, give verbal encouragement and ask them to keep up the good work. For those who do poorly, let it go and try to correct it.
Tang Wan supported her head with one hand and yawned continuously.
This crappy meeting is just about the same old stuff, so boring. And I can't even play with my phone to kill time. It's worse than being in jail.
After ten minutes of agony, Qin Que finally finished reading the manuscript, walked down from the podium, and was replaced by Minister Song Wu.
Thinking of the reminder before the meeting, Tang Wan forced herself to cheer up.
Compared with Qin Que, Song Wu's business ability is undoubtedly much better.
Although the tone was still cold, his pronunciation was clear, his speech was fluent, his speaking speed was just right, and every sentence had its point.
Song Wu talked about the activity arrangements for this semester.
In March, industry leaders will come to give speeches, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be responsible for some of the coordination work. There will be school sports meets and physical tests in April, school celebrations in May, graduation ceremonies in June, military training in July, and so on.
Halfway through listening, Tang Wan started banging her head.
So busy?
The school leaders in the ditch have free labor, so if they can't be used to death, they should be used to death, right?
Another twenty minutes passed while Song Wu was giving this lecture.
“Finally, there were personnel changes within the department.”
Tang Wan shuddered and quickly straightened her sitting posture.
Finally, we have reached the key part.
Song Wu changed the daily work of several people, including Tang Wan.
Her original job was to review articles for public accounts, a purely unremarkable position, but now she has been transferred to the external liaison department.
Tang Wan wasn't sure what it did specifically, but judging from the name, it should have a lot to do with socializing.
However, just after Song Wu announced Tang Wan's job transfer, a girl suddenly stood up.
The classroom fell into an eerie silence.
Song Wu adjusted his glasses and asked, "Yu Zhen, do you have any questions?"
"me……"
Yu Zhen hesitated for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
"If you have no problem, sit down and don't waste everyone's time."
Yu Zhen looked around and found Tang Wan in a remote location. Tang Wan happened to be looking at Yu Zhen.
The two just stared at each other from a distance.
A light bulb went off in Tang Wan's head, and she remembered who Yu Zhen was.
Last semester, the student union interview was held and she was the senior who was sitting at the door and in charge of registration and gave birth to Lu You.
In the one month since Tang Wan joined the student union, every time she met Yu Zhen, she would say some inexplicable sarcastic words.
At first Tang Wan was very unhappy and wanted to find an opportunity to fight back. Later, the two rarely met, and this incident was gradually forgotten by Tang Wan.
I didn't expect that we would meet again this time.
Tang Wan couldn't see Yu Zhen's expression clearly from a distance of several meters, but she felt that she must be very angry at the moment.
Tang Wan could probably guess the reason for her anger.
It's just that I took her position.
At the meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, no matter how angry Yu Zhen was, she had to endure it and sit down obediently.
After Song Wu finished explaining the rest of the arrangements and gave a few words of encouragement to boost morale, he announced the end of the meeting and everyone dispersed on their own.
Tang Wan did not hesitate at all and retreated decisively.
You've gotten the advantage and you're still waiting for others to come and have sex with you?
She is not the male protagonist in a cool novel who complains about everything.
Yu Zhen was furious and wanted to find Tang Wan to argue with her, but she was stuck in the crowd in the aisle, unable to move forward or backward. She could only watch Tang Wan walk out of the classroom and disappear.
