Chapter 976: 964 Scumbag Girlfriend Match (27) Early Morning

Over the past two years, Ye Shaohua’s image had deeply engraved itself in people’s hearts, especially in the presence of Luo Fei and others, who failed to ingratiate themselves and instead revealed their true, clumsy colors.

Before, when Bai Zhe brought up the collaboration with Ye Shaohua, it had already taken these few by surprise.

Now the disclosures popping up on the internet even made the ever composed Luo Fei panic and break his own wine glass.

He didn’t care about anything else and directly snatched the mobile phone from his roommate’s hand.

He carefully read the school’s Weibo broadcast several times, especially the few photos that were posted.

After confirming the seal on one of the photos, he sat down on the chair, struggling to believe what he’d seen.

"Who could have seen this coming with Ye Shaohua?" his roommate took back the phone, utterly astounded.

"Yeah," Xu Hongfei reluctantly withdrew his gaze, still preoccupied with the matter and replied in a low, distracted voice, "Who could have known..."

The roommates continued discussing the matter of Ye Shaohua, all expressing novelty and reflection.

Only Luo Fei knew the deep implications of "National Laboratory" in the photos.

If Ye Shaohua had been just an ordinary student, the school wouldn’t have backed her so strongly.

Those around him didn’t feel the undercurrents of turmoil, but Luo Fei, having grown up in such an environment, had a keener sense of smell than anyone.

Jian Wen sat on the side, listening to them go on about Ye Shaohua, feeling increasingly stifled in her chest, "I’m going back to do experiments!"

Meanwhile, Ye Shaohua herself was unaware of the subsequent online developments.

She had already taken her mother to the housing unit assigned by her place of work.

She had thought she’d have to explain things properly.

But it seemed her mother didn’t really want to express anything at all.

The assigned location for Ye Shaohua was off-limits to the general public, and with patrolling personnel around, it was extraordinarily quiet.

Not even the disorder of passing vehicles could be found.

Her mother was illiterate and had not noticed the "Military District" sign they passed on the way in; the courtyard house allocated to Ye Shaohua was plain compared to the Xu family’s luxurious villa.

In her mother’s view, only a villa in a luxurious neighbourhood, like the Xu family’s, qualified as wealthy.

So she had no idea there was anything special about where she was living now.

When Ye Shaohua and Ye Tao realized how their mother’s mind worked, they exchanged glances and tacitly kept to themselves what they were going to say next.

Regarding her mother’s complaint about the distance to the Vegetable Market, saying it wasn’t as convenient as near the school, they remained silent.

To buy vegetables here, it was necessary to drive for ten minutes.

Ye Shaohua thought about hiring a driver specifically for her mother’s use, but that would surely lead to more of her mother’s loud complaints, so she and Ye Tao bought a few packets of vegetable seeds for her to cultivate in the courtyard garden.

As for her mother’s idea of raising chickens, Ye Shaohua managed to talk her out of it for the time being.

But uncertain if her mother would revisit the idea, she considered reporting to her superiors to request a place with larger outdoor space... suitable for raising chickens.

However, after a few days with no further insistence from her mother, Ye Shaohua let out a small sigh of relief.

The Xu family, too, was shocked by the series of events that had erupted online.

Xu’s mother and father kept remarking that they knew Ye Shaohua wasn’t the kind of person she was being made out to be.

The elder Mr. Xu, who rarely took an interest in the internet, didn’t fully understand the situation and was quite scornful of the praise his wife and son were heaping on Ye Shaohua.

Xu Hongfei, standing to one side and smiling gently, turned to Jian Wen, "Xiaowen, I can call you that, right?"

Jian Wen was beside Xu Hongfei.

Whether to further convince herself that her choice was the right one or for some other reason, Xu Hongfei had directly brought Jian Wen to stay with the Xu family.

The elder Mr. Xu was originally very cold towards Jian Wen due to her coming from the same hometown as Ye Shaohua’s family.

But when he heard Xu Hongfei mention that Jian Wen and her lab’s people had developed a batch of medicine targeting their Xu family, the elder’s attitude towards Jian Wen changed somewhat.

He praised her as a young talent.

The elder Mr. Xu, himself becoming well-versed due to long illness, had mixed in business circuits in his youth and thus knew plenty of doctors.

If you were to talk to him about a famous Physicist, he might draw a complete blank.

But if you mentioned a well-known internal medicine Professor, he would be well-informed.

As it happened, one of them was Jian Wen’s teacher, a Professor who was considered a leading authority, so the elder Mr. Xu’s attitude improved significantly towards Jian Wen.

"Of course, you can, Grandpa Xu," Jian Wen quickly agreed.

Xu’s father and mother hadn’t seen Ye Tao for several days and, having heard he topped the national examination as the Number One Scholar, Xu’s mother was currently looking at the online grade report on her mobile phone, incessantly praising the boy’s intelligence.

The elder Mr. Xu, while chatting with Jian Wen, upon hearing Ye Tao was the Number One Scholar of the national examination, raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Ultimately, in response to his wife and son’s suggestion, he pondered for a moment, "If he can settle down and learn the company’s affairs, let him visit the Xu Family corporation when he’s free."

Xu Hongfei, listening to this, smiled but his fingers clenched tightly.

However, Xu’s father and mother didn’t notice and immediately called Ye Tao.

Ye Tao, while looking at stock pages on his computer, answered the phone, "Have you decided when to take me to change my household registration?"

Xu’s father quickly said tomorrow, and then took the opportunity to mention the elder Mr. Xu’s words.

Wanting Ye Tao to return, previously the elder Mr. Xu had thought Ye Tao would shame the Xu family and had vehemently obstructed it.

Now that Ye Tao had achieved such good results, beyond what Xu’s father and mother had expected, they were eager to have Ye Tao return.

However, Ye Tao had no interest in this whatsoever.

He refused the offer to join the Xu Family corporation.

The elder Mr. Xu didn’t know he had opened the door for him, but seeing his grandson rejecting the olive branch, his anger flared, especially seeing Xu’s father still trying to persuade Ye Tao.

He warned them neither too lightly nor too gravely, "Regardless, Hongfei is our Xu Family’s public heir, and you shouldn’t discourage him. Our Xu Family’s future still relies on Hongfei."

Xu Hongfei had been personally trained by the elder Mr. Xu.

From a young age, he learned all sorts of things, spoke four languages—all of which were important to the Xu Family’s partnerships. Furthermore, Xu Hongfei’s university major in economics and management had been specifically selected by the elder.

Being all-round capable, the grandson he had painstakingly groomed surely wouldn’t be the same as a mere exam-taking robot in his eyes.
