Chapter 909: Chapter 910 Toxic Fatherly Love 42

Wu Min looked at Wu Jian, who was endlessly making promises. She could guarantee that this guy was definitely cursing someone in his heart.

But did she think she’d let him off so easily? That was impossible. That simply didn’t exist.

"Dad, look, my brother is making all these promises. I believe he’ll definitely try hard to achieve them."

"To make sure he remembers at all times, I think we should write down his college entrance exam goals by his pillow and in front of his desk."

"After all, it’s his promise, and he needs to remember it at all times." Wu Na gave Wu Jian another push. After receiving so many resources at home, how could he not work hard?

Wu Jian really didn’t take this seriously at all; it was just something he said in passing. The college entrance exam was still years away—by then, whether his parents even remembered this was an open question.

But he didn’t expect Wu Min, this little devil, to come up with such a malicious suggestion.

At this moment, he really felt like pushing her off a cliff. What was the point of keeping someone like her around? She ought to disappear from the world, never to exist again.

Wu Hao thought Wu Min’s suggestion was good. "Yes, let’s do that. Otherwise, after a while, who’s going to remember?"

"Especially Xiao Jian—you’re the hope of the Wu Family. You must get into a good high school, score well in the college entrance exam, and outshine Xing Zhangyu."

Wu Hao couldn’t accept that Zhang Yu, who grew up learning nothing from Li Cuifen and her daughter, ended up with such outstanding grades. It was a harsh slap in the face, blatant and glaring.

Wu Jian was dumbfounded. Such an absurd suggestion was actually getting agreed upon.

He turned to look at Feng Min. Now the whole family had gone crazy; he could only pin his hopes on her.

Initially, Feng Min also thought Wu Min’s suggestion was a bit much, but since Wu Hao agreed, she felt they might indeed forget about this over time.

"Xiao Jian, I also think your sister’s suggestion is good."

"Let’s do it like this."

With a three-to-one vote, the proposal was passed. Wu Jian’s face turned livid with rage, but no matter how angry he got, since Wu Hao and the others agreed, he had no choice but to go along.

Wu Jian looked at his wardrobe, desk, and bedside, all covered with reminders of his goals. His mood was all kinds of irritable. "Why doesn’t Wu Min have any requirements?"

Ha! Knew you’d bring me up. Wu Min was, of course, already prepared. She pulled out a sheet of paper from behind her back. "Everyone knows my grades are pretty awful."

"I don’t even know if I can get into high school."

"My goal is very simple: first get into high school." Wu Min stuck the papers onto her own space as well.

Wu Hao and Feng Min nodded in satisfaction. "Right, you need to work hard and aim to get into high school."

"No matter what, you’ll still have to go to college." They didn’t set any specific goals for Wu Min’s college entrance exam. In their eyes, if Wu Min could get into high school, it would already be an impressive feat.

Wu Jian looked at Wu Min’s goal and then at his own, feeling even more depressed.

People with high expectations didn’t get any praise, while those who were slackers actually got encouragement.

What kind of world was this? Wu Jian truly didn’t understand.

What made him even more upset was that ever since the goals were set, Wu Hao and Feng Min kept a close watch over his studies, making it almost impossible for him to go out and play.

Every day, it was nothing but studying. To help him achieve his goals, they even enrolled him in several summer classes—all focused on academics.

They felt Wu Min had also been making an effort lately and didn’t want the little girl to feel neglected, so they enrolled her in some classes too, though they were the most basic kind.

Looking at her course schedule and then at Wu Jian’s, Wu Min chuckled coldly to herself.

If it weren’t to shut her up, they probably wouldn’t have been willing to spend even a penny on a basic tutoring class.

Regardless, at least they spent money on her. She couldn’t ask for too much. "Thanks, Dad and Mom."

"I’ll do my best." She’d work hard and someday blind them with pure brilliance.

Wu Jian was incredibly unhappy. "Thanks."

Without waiting for Wu Hao and Feng Min to respond, he turned and walked away, using his actions to express just how angry and displeased he was.

Wu Hao watched Wu Jian blatantly ignore him and felt deeply annoyed. "What is wrong with this kid?"

Feng Min wasn’t happy either. This summer had cost them quite a lot of money. Even though it was all Wu Hao’s money, it was still money, wasn’t it?

Her family back home was very critical of her, often bringing up her nephew’s poor grades as a way to make digs. Knowing she had spent so much on tutoring classes for the two kids, they were bound to stir up trouble somehow.

She didn’t have much money left now. Her expenses were high to begin with, and adding to that, she couldn’t resist splurging on nice things while paying for the kids.

The result was that her finances were now nearly nonexistent. After enrolling her nephew in tutoring classes, her money was essentially gone.

If Wu Jian and Wu Min found out about this, how would they react? They already disliked her constant support for her family.

Feng Min’s distracted expression didn’t escape Wu Hao’s notice, but he didn’t say anything. The spending this summer had been significant, and he needed to focus on earning more money.

Zhang Yu had achieved such outstanding results; as a father, he couldn’t just let it pass without doing something. Rewarding her would require money.

Zhang Yu, however, had no idea Wu Hao was agonizing over what kind of gift to give her. She was happily attending her high school graduation ceremony.

The original character had missed the graduation ceremony because of poor performance in the college entrance exams and Li Cuifen’s serious illness, which left no time or mood for such events.

This time was different. Zhang Yu had earned excellent grades, and the old lady was healthy enough to attend her high school graduation ceremony. Zhang Yu cheerfully pulled the old lady along, taking photos everywhere.

Of course, Wang Lei was also there, taking plenty of pictures.

Classmates also wanted pictures with Zhang Yu. Thanks to Zhang Yu, the King of Curls, their ordinary class had seen tremendous improvement in grades.

The average college entrance exam score for their class was now on par with the rocket class, which was traditionally filled with top students. It was an unprecedented slap in the face for the rocket class.

The homeroom teacher was overjoyed to the point of floating. This was a huge achievement for him; he greeted everyone with a big smile.

As for the students and teachers from the rocket class, their expressions weren’t great—but that had nothing to do with her.

"And just like that, three years of high school are over." The entire class placed their final group photo at the school gate.

Although most students would attend universities in the same city, making it easier to meet, everyone knew that it would be nearly impossible to gather like this again.

After the photo session, everyone began preparing to leave. That evening, they had a gathering planned—a class-funded dinner to thank their teachers.

Zhang Yu took one last look at the place where she had worked so hard for a year. The grueling senior year was finally over; it hadn’t been easy.

Liu Hui had been watching Zhang Yu all along. She was simply too striking; in a crowd, it was impossible not to notice her.

He deeply regretted it. Why had he prioritized his so-called pride and refused to turn back to Zhang Yu?
