Li Yunhan's mother is Uyghur, and she inherited the advantages of being tall, with deep facial features and an apple face. When she was a child, she looked like a European and American mixed-race doll. She is also very beautiful when she grew up, and has good grades. She is also the vice president of the English Club. When Gao Shaoning met her earlier, he regarded her as a benchmark.
At this time, she saw that her proud sister Hanhan and Cheng Ran seemed to know each other but not know each other. She always felt it was a bit strange, but she tried her best to find the connection between the two. It was really confusing...
When the Li family arrived, even though they were the guests of honor, the dishes began to be served one after another and the wine started to flow. Uncle Gao Shijin and his three brothers and sisters were all businessmen and were very eloquent, so the table immediately became lively.
It has to be said that Gao Shijin is quite good at socializing, no wonder he had experienced all those business adventures in his early years. In front of Li Hao, he knew his limits very well and showed the harmony of the whole family.
Li Hao kept saying, "Shijin, you are right to do this. If a person makes a fortune through business and brings his brothers and sisters along, then this family is a good one! I just feel a pity that my family members are in the northwest, including my brothers and sisters, my old father and mother. It is not realistic to ask them to come over. They are used to living in their hometown and are not used to the climate and soil here. They can only go back once or twice a year. But if there is anything at home, just call me and I will rush back immediately no matter how many thousands of kilometers away I am! I, Li Hao, do not like those friends who only drink and eat together. I still look at their character... I can make friends with people like you!"
It can be seen that Li Hao is very fond of Gao Shijin's care for his family and thinks he is a responsible person. The relationship between the two is established on this level.
When the atmosphere was at its peak, Gao Shijin took Li Hao's hand holding the wine and said to Xu Lan, "This is my sister-in-law... Brother Li, you should also call me sister-in-law..." He spoke smoothly and naturally, and it was impossible to tell that Cheng Ran and his mother were just dragged here temporarily.
However, Li Hao was still curious and asked, "Shijin, you are not nice enough! Why haven't you mentioned that you have such a brother and sister-in-law in all these years?"
Gao Shijin looked slightly embarrassed, then smiled and said, "Brother Li, you don't know that my cousin and his wife are both in Shanhai... They just came here recently. When I came here, I wanted to meet you, so I called them over as well. My brother had something to do, so he couldn't come today, so my sister-in-law came to see you..."
Li Hao smiled and picked up the wine, clinked it with Xu Lan's drink, and toasted, "Then sister-in-law, please come more often in the future... I'll treat you next time to welcome you."
Gao Shijin laughed and changed the subject. He then continued to praise Li Hao's wife for her good temperament and said that Mr. Li was very lucky. This made Li Hao's wife look very happy.
"After all, it was you, Brother Li, who helped us a lot in getting Ningning into No. 12 Middle School..."
Li Hao laughed and waved his hands, "Nonsense! Do you think I can get anyone in? If you are not good enough and your scores are too far off, I am afraid even the director won't be able to approve your application... After all, your Ningning's scores are almost the same, and she has won awards before, so she was chosen by the person in charge of transferring files at No. 12 Middle School... I just acted as a matchmaker."
"That's right!" Gao Shijin nodded, "After all, Ningning is still a worry... If she could have good grades like your Hanhan... I wouldn't worry so much."
Although he was being modest, Li Hao still felt very benefited at this time, and said, "Good habits are the first prerequisite for good learning... Hanhan is nothing special. Do you want to say that she is very smart? Not really. She just has good habits since she was a child. Her mother has paid more after all..."
Several people including Gao Shichong immediately assisted and started praising Li Yunhan and Li Hao's wife.
"Brother Li, your family has a good education..."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. Here's a toast to you!"
"Hanhan is so outstanding. I heard Ningning say that Hanhan is in the English club. His English must be very good. English is very important in the future. If he learns well, many foreign and state-owned enterprises in Chengdu will be vying for him..."
Gao Shijin pondered, "Among the other children in our family, Ningning has the best grades so far and was admitted to No. 12 Middle School..." He then swept his eyes over Gao Shaoning's two younger brothers and Cheng Ran, then looked away from Cheng Ran and said, "In the future, these others... will be lucky if they can catch up with their sister!"
Gao Shichong said to his own children and the fourth child at the right time, "Did you hear me... You should all learn from your sisters Ningning and Hanhan in the future!"
The two boys nodded their heads in unison. At this moment, any struggle would be futile in front of the other children’s divine presence… Being a yes-man was the only way for them to avoid getting into trouble.
Li Yunhan raised his head with a somewhat strange expression and looked at Cheng Ran.
She was talking to Gao Shaoning just now, but she still heard Gao Shijin's words that only his daughter was admitted to No. 12 Middle School and had the best grades in the family.
She frowned and simply looked at Cheng Ran, "Aren't you a student of No. 10 Middle School? Even if it's vacation, our school is not open to the public... Why did I see you in No. 10 Middle School that day?"
Gao Shijin, who was clinking glasses with Li Hao, looked over.
His three brothers and sisters were also silent, and their eyes had the same look.
Li Hao paused, looked at Cheng Ran, and then looked at Gao Shijin, obviously a little surprised by the contradiction in his statement.
Gao Shijin's expression changed into a smile, and he seemed to be asking, "Yes, what happened? When were you at No. 10 Middle School? What were you doing there? Did you go to steal light bulbs?"
The atmosphere was very quiet for a while.
"I'm going to take an exam." Cheng Ran answered truthfully.
"What exam..." Li Yunhan thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "The transfer exam that day?"
Cheng Ran nodded.
At this time, Li Yunhan's father had already spoken, "So, my nephew is planning to transfer to No. 10 Middle School? Did sister-in-law... pass the exam?"
He asked Xu Lan directly.
Xu Lan nodded and said, "I will be a sophomore in No. 10 Middle School when school starts."
The Gao family was all stunned, and Gao Shijin's expression froze slightly.
Li Yunhan stared at Cheng Ran in surprise, "I heard it's very difficult to pass the exam to transfer to our school... Huo, you are really amazing."
Cheng Ran smiled and said, "Just so-so, just so-so."
Who knew that Li Yunhan would just roll his eyes and say, "You're so fake!"
Gao Shaoning and his two younger brothers stared at Cheng Ran as if he were an alien... Suddenly, the impression he had of this distant cousin from his parents' fragmentary words was completely overturned.
Li Hao had already praised him, "You are good, young man! Keep up the good work!" He then said to Gao Shijin, "Your nephew is very capable..."
Then Li Hao picked up his glass and clinked glasses with Cheng Ran, "I'll drink, you can just drink... You're an excellent young man, uncle toasts you!"
Gao Shijin was also smiling with a little embarrassment beside him. This incident was ultimately just an episode at the dinner table, but it was this episode that changed the subsequent atmosphere a little.
This continued until the end of the banquet. During the second half of the meal, when Gao Shijin was drinking, his eyes kept falling on Cheng Ran.
Gao Shaoning thought about the time when his father taught Cheng Ran to work hard, Cheng Ran responded with "Uncle is right!", and felt his face burning...
The meal cost more than 2,000 yuan, and Gao Shijin paid the bill. Li Hao was led out of the door by Gao Shichong. Gao Shijin then looked at Xu Lan, but his tone was a little cold, "It turns out that Cheng Ran was admitted to Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School... No wonder you all came to Rongcheng, you should work harder in the next few years, keep a closer eye on him, and let him enter a better university... He can find a good job after graduation."
Gao Shijin was a little angry. Because of his preconceived impression, he didn't ask Cheng Ran about school before the meal, which made the meal look a little awkward for him. Secondly, he was unwilling to accept the fact that "how could Cheng Ran pass the exam?", so his words were a little insincere.
But he still didn't lose face, "Okay, let's get together as a family some other day when Brother Cheng has time."
…
After the dinner, a group of people came out of the private room one after another, leaving a few children behind. Cheng Ran and Li Yunhan walked out of the private room at the same time and came to the corridor. Li Yunhan, who was walking side by side with him, turned around and smiled mischievously, "Why... I was staring at the pictures on the poster board for the transfer exam that day. Isn't the girl in the picture pretty?"
Cheng Ran actually wanted to find out about Li Yunhan. After all, his airborne plan was to surprise Lao Jiang, so he didn't want to reveal the truth in advance. Looking at Li Yunhan's smiling face, Cheng Ran smiled and asked tentatively, "How... do you know her?"
Li Yunhan spread her hands, "You are joking, there is probably everyone in No. 10 Middle School who doesn't know her..." She pouted again, with a very rich expression, "It's just that I know her, but she may not know me. So whatever you are thinking, you can give it up as soon as possible!"
Cheng Ran's heart was hanging...
Well, safe and secure.
But this statement doesn't seem right.
"This... Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Li Yunhan chuckled, turned around, shook her ponytail, and looked as perceptive as an owl at night. "You dare to say that you don't have any intention of 'the one who is close to the water gets the moon first'? Just now, when I asked if I knew him, didn't you want me to introduce him to you and go the best friend route?"
“Is that so…” Cheng Ran tilted his head.
Li Yunhan observed his expression and smiled, "Yeah, you admit it. Look at you, you silly nerd... nerd, let me kindly remind you that you have no chance... There are so many people who like her, and compared to you..." Li Yunhan looked Cheng Ran up and down, "At least I don't like her..."
Cheng Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Excuse me, did I ask for your opinion..."
"Is it not painful to say such words directly to your face?"
"Okay, it's just a joke. It's better to be hurt now than to be pierced by thousands of arrows!" Li Yunhan laughed, "Sister, I am just reminding you with good intentions to give you a way out! Come to our school and study hard, then you will know that there is always someone stronger than you... Since you are Gao Shaoning's cousin, I will protect you. Do you want to learn English well? Come to the English Club, there are many beautiful girls there. Tell me my name and I will let you join for free!"
As she spoke, Li Yunhan waved towards Cheng Ran in a very stylish manner. Her parents had already gone downstairs, and it was time to say goodbye.
Cheng Ran admired the girl's sharp tongue. Seeing her proudly turn her head away, Cheng Ran fought back without changing his expression, "Just now you said you didn't like me, you were joking with me... Does this mean that you like me?"
Li Yunhan, who was walking forward proudly, staggered and turned back suddenly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
At this time, Cheng Ran had already walked into the main group and waved at her casually, not giving her the chance to rush up and kick her.
Li Yunhan, who was already next to his parents, made a gesture of wiping his neck at him, with an expression that said, "You're doomed when school starts!"
