Chapter 465: Chapter 465 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 80_1

The issue of borrowing a car was easily resolved; they managed to borrow one quite efficiently, but the problem arose when several elder classmates heard about her plan.

They all expressed their desire to join them on the trip, or rather, to go on a field trip.

According to them, working in isolation was not desirable; they needed to get out frequently to see different sceneries, including the desert landscapes.

And so, what was originally a trip for three people ballooned into an epic journey with more than a dozen participants.

As for the car problem, that too was not an issue; if one car could be borrowed, certainly a few more could be as well.

Thus, the number of participants kept varying until finally the count stabilized at twenty.

Zhao Wenjin knew that her senior classmates had pretty good incomes, as after all, those who could afford to live in a medium-sized Siheyuan must have high incomes to sustain it.

Yet, having more people was a good thing, at least in terms of having fun together, since being with a large group also meant less worry about safety issues.

Before leaving, there was one more important thing to do, which was to send Liao Kai back to the Yue family to report the good news of Liao Jiayu’s university admission.

"Xiao Yu, you should come along," since it was about getting into university, it wouldn’t be right for the main person not to be present.

"Forget it, I’ll go too." Since both father and daughter were going, Zhao Wenjin felt it was better for her to accompany them; staying home would just lead to worrying.

So, the family set off in spectacular fashion to the Liao family home. Just as they arrived at the Liao family’s gate, they saw an imported car parked at the entrance.

Zhao Wenjin exclaimed, "Wow, not bad, a rich man has emerged from the big courtyard."

An imported car. Considering the price with import tax, it was an amount that would make Zhao Wenjin gasp.

It’s not that she couldn’t afford it, but she felt that the cost-performance ratio wasn’t high and there really was no need to spend so much on that car.

Liao Kai stared at the car for a while, "It’s probably Liao Jun’s car."

Liao Jun’s car? Wow, "It seems like someone has really made a lot of money."

"Right, how much longer will Liao Bin be out?" Now someone is riding high, but whether they can continue to swagger after Liao Bin is released remains to be seen.

"Probably a few more years?" Liao Kai hadn’t inquired about the specific number of years Liao Bin was sentenced to.

"Anyway, it’s not our concern." If Liao Jun was short on money, Liao Bin might have set his sights on his own family, but now with luxury cars and mansions in Liao Jun’s name, it’s clear who Liao Bin would turn to for money.

After parking the car, the family of three entered the compound carrying the watermelons they had purchased on the way, only to see Liao Jun and his wife walking out of the house.

Having not seen Liao Jun and his wife for a long time, Zhao Wenjin could only think that wealth really changes people. She remembered Liao Jun wasn’t very fat back in the day, at least his belly wasn’t so prominent.

As for his wife, she used to be rather slim; whether it was because of giving birth to twins or just being complacent, she definitely looked much heavier now.

When Liao Jun saw Liao Kai and his family, he too was taken aback. He glanced jealously at Liao Kai and his wife, whose figures hadn’t changed much over the past two years.

Why had he aged so much over these years, while Liao Kai and his wife hardly seemed to age at all?

Then again, he thought it was normal. After all, those who lived on rental income didn’t need to worry about making money; they were just lacking ambition.

"Well, if it isn’t Liao Kai?" Liao Jun spoke with a tone one would use with a subordinate, "I heard from Dad that Xiao Yu is going to college this year. How did she do?"

The last time Liao Xuan mentioned that Liao Jiayu was taking the college entrance examination, she also mentioned that her grades weren’t very good.

"Not bad," Liao Kai detected the mocking in Liao Jun’s eyes. "She got into the law department at the University of Political Science and Law."

What? The couple originally thought they could laugh at Liao Kai’s family of three, but instead, they heard this news.

The University of Political Science and Law, there are many universities in Capital City, but the University of Political Science and Law is definitely a well-known one.

"Very good, very good," Liao Jun quickly recovered, repeatedly saying the results were not bad.

"So getting into such a good university, you’re going to have a celebration banquet, right?" He owned a restaurant, and if there was to be a celebration, it would only make sense to hold it at his place.

"No need for that, we’re just going to take Xiao Yu on a trip," Liao Kai said, indicating they had never considered such a plan.

Liao Jun’s wife caught on to her husband’s hint, "When a child gets into such a good university, how can we not celebrate?"

"Xiao Yu, you’d want everyone’s blessings too, right?" What Liao Jun’s wife really thought was, once the celebration banquet was held, it would surely attract even more business.

Blessings from more people? Liao Jiayu had never considered it, "I feel having my parents’ blessings is enough."

As for the blessings of others, Liao Jiayu never believed they were sincere, "Besides, holding a banquet would increase the financial burden on friends and family."

"It would also add to our parents’ pressure," Liao Jiayu said politely.

These words, when they reached Liao Jun’s ears, seemed to suggest whether he was expected to host the meal.

"Besides, we’re leaving for our trip tomorrow and won’t be back until just before school starts; our family of three will celebrate with the journey."

Rather than dine with a bunch of so-called relatives she didn’t know, Liao Jiayu preferred to have fun with Zhao Wenjin’s senior fellows.

Liao Jun knew he had misunderstood Liao Jiayu’s intention, "Getting into such a good school, wouldn’t you regret not celebrating it properly?"

Regrets? "This is just the beginning; I can do well in the future." It was just getting into a decent university, really no need for an excessive celebration.

"Grandpa and Grandma, hello," Liao Jiayu greeted Liao Daqiang and his wife with enthusiasm.

Although their relationship wasn’t great, it was at least not so estranged.

Liao Daqiang, taking the admission notice from Liao Jiayu, couldn’t hold back his tears and kept touching the letter.

"So great, our family has produced a graduate from a prestigious university." Liao Daqiang went to the bedroom, quickly came back out, and handed Liao Jiayu a red envelope.

Just as Liao Jun and his wife, who had been about to leave, came in, they saw the old man giving Liao Jiayu a red envelope.

Liao Jun’s wife, looking at the thick red envelope, was quite unhappy, knowing that when she had given birth to twins of mixed sex, Liao Daqiang and his wife hadn’t given such a thick envelope.

And now, just for getting into a good university, Liao Jiayu got such a substantial red envelope, which made Liao Jun’s wife very discontented.

"Grandpa and Grandma, there’s no need," Liao Jiayu declined the red envelope without even waiting to see Zhao Wenjin and the others’ reactions.

"Take it," Liao Daqiang, dissatisfied, looked towards Liao Jun and his wife, "Being admitted to such a good university, of course you should be rewarded."

"Any child who gets into such a good university in the future, as long as I’m alive, I will give a big red envelope," Liao Daqiang declared loudly.

"Liao Jun’s family, you have the time to be jealous, better spend it nurturing your two children." Liao Daqiang really had little attachment to Liao Jun’s twins.

The children were almost three years old, and the number of times he had seen them didn’t exceed the fingers on one hand.

Although he hadn’t seen them often, Liao Daqiang wasn’t optimistic about the twins, feeling they were raised too indulgently.

However, he wouldn’t say this out loud; Liao Jun believed that children brought up by the Yue family would be more successful.
