Chapter 1821: Chapter 1337: Luo Yanqing’s Low-Key Bragging About Her Child_4

”Go ahead and envy, hate, whatever you like, I can handle it!”

Kang Li chuckled softly.

”Congratulations! Ruirui’s amazing!”

Because of Kang Li’s words, Wu Yue couldn’t help laughing too. She said, ”Are you going to treat us? If you are, don’t forget to let me know.”

”We’re getting ready to celebrate for the kid. The date’s set for August sixth. If you’re free that day, just come to...”

After giving the hotel name and address, Kang Li chatted a bit more with Wu Yue, and then they ended the call.

Seeing Wu Yue put down the receiver, Xiao Jin asked, ”That kid is the top scorer in the college entrance exam?” He was making sure.

”You should have heard it. Ruirui is not only the top scorer in the college entrance exam, he’s the national top scorer. His score is only eight points short of full marks.”

Since Xiao Jin had already been promoted to deputy director of the station, Wu Yue addressed him with a respectful form of address.

”That’s an excellent result!”

Xiao Jin smiled and asked, ”What date is Comrade Kang planning to host the banquet? I’ll go over and offer my congratulations then.”

Wu Yue didn’t hide it. She told him the date and hotel address Kang Li had given her.

”Thank you!”

Xiao Jin stood up. ”Let’s go, I’ll treat you to lunch.”

”You’re too kind.”

Wu Yue shook her head and declined politely. ”I’ve already made plans with a few colleagues. We’ll be going to the cafeteria together in a bit.”

Xiao Jin said, ”I see. Then I’ll treat you another time.”

Wu Yue smiled and didn’t respond to that.

Xiao Jin left and went back to his office. His excitement was hard to hide as he picked up the phone and dialed.

”Hello? Who is this?”

”Mom, it’s me. Is Dad home? I’ve got some good news to tell you both!”

That’s right, Xiao Jin was calling his father and mother, planning to tell the two elders the good news he’d just pried out of Wu Yue.

”Your dad went over to the Xi Family’s place.”

His mother said it casually, then asked, ”What’s the good news you’re talking about?”

At that moment, Xiao Jin realized there was something his mother still didn’t know—namely, Min Rui’s true parentage.

”Mom, I’ve got something to take care of, so I’ll hang up for now. Later, have Dad give me a call.”

Xiao Jin knew his mother had her suspicions about Min Rui’s origins, but he had never said anything at home, and his father hadn’t either. So his mother had no way to be sure that Min Rui was Xiao Jin’s own flesh and blood.

Once the call was cut off, his mother muttered, ”He clearly said he had good news, and in the next breath he finds an excuse to hang up. What’s that supposed to mean?”

The Xi Family.

Xiao’s father had come looking for Old Master Xi, asking him to get in touch with Kang Li and find out Min Rui’s college entrance exam results.

”Old leader, what did Comrade Kang say?”

Watching Old Master Xi finish his call with Kang Li, Xiao’s father’s eyes were full of eagerness.

To be honest, the reason he could thicken his skin and come to the Xi Family to ask Old Master Xi for help was that he’d seen Kang Li bring several of her kids over as guests to the Xi house more than once.

He’d figured that the Xi Family and Kang Li were quite close, and that if Old Master Xi contacted Kang Li, helping to ask about Min Rui’s exam result would be nothing more than a phone call.

”National top scorer in the college entrance exam, eight points shy of full marks. The whole family plans to host a banquet at a hotel on August sixth to celebrate for the kid...”

Old Master Xi spoke slowly and calmly. At the end, he asked, ”What made you think of running over here to ask me about that kid Min Rui’s exam results?”

Xiao’s father’s expression was a bit complicated. ”Old leader, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you some things; it’s that I can’t. But, thank you for today!”

”It’s just a small favor. No need to be so polite.”

Old Master Xi waved his hand casually and said with a smile, ”Besides, I was just thinking of calling Lili to ask how many points her eldest son got.”

Hearing that, Xiao’s father said, ”Comrade Kang is a good mother. She really knows how to raise kids!”

”Yes, that girl Lili really has a knack for teaching her children. Given how smart she is, it’s no surprise she can bring up kids who are all outstanding.

What’s more, she’s a university professor. She definitely understands her children’s mental state better than the average parent. That way, she can not only communicate easily with them, but also give them the right guidance once she spots a problem.”

After listening to Old Master Xi, Xiao’s father nodded in deep agreement.

”That kid Min Rui looked quite a bit like your eldest when they were young. To tell the truth, someone who doesn’t know the situation could easily link him with your eldest. But there are plenty of people in this world who look alike and share no blood ties.”

”You’re absolutely right, old leader.”

Xiao’s father had long been in a high position and was good at reading between the lines. Naturally, it wasn’t hard for him to hear the hint in Old Master Xi’s words.

In other words, Xiao’s father could tell that Old Master Xi had already guessed a thing or two.

”Lili is my old friend’s granddaughter. That girl and her husband are a pair of good parents. All the kids in that family respect them a great deal. And from what I know of that couple, they’re bound to be able to raise each of their children into a pillar of the nation.”

Old Master Xi wasn’t blind, nor was he senile. What’s more, he’d heard his younger daughter-in-law mention a few things about Feng Lu chasing after Xiao Shen. And Xiao Jin and Xiao Shen were brothers, close in age, so it was hard to guarantee there hadn’t been some entanglement between Feng Lu and Xiao Jin.
