After returning to the house by the sea, Hao Ren sent the twins to Xie Yujia's room and went to rest in the room on the second floor.
Hao Zhonghua knew that the Lu sisters were going to spend the night here, so he took out two folding beds for them to sleep in.
Since Grandma treated the twins as her own granddaughters, Hao Zhonghua had to follow her wishes.
No matter how noisy the twins were, they were still the granddaughters of East Ocean University's Principal, Lu Qing. Hao Zhonghua had to show them some respect.
Zhao Yanzi's family, Lu Qing's family, Hao Ren's family, and Xie Yujia's family seemed to be bound to each other through Hao Ren's connections.
Hao Zhonghua didn't know if it was a good thing or not, but at least the house became lively. Besides the weekends, Zhen Congming ran around the house every day, and Grandma was always happy.
"Good night, Gongzi!"
Through the window on the first floor, Hao Ren and Lu Lili's voices traveled to the balcony on the second floor.
Hao Ren, who had just entered the room, smiled helplessly.
In the room next door, Yue Yang who was leaning against the bed and reading some documents sighed at Hao Zhonghua. "Lu Linlin, Lu Lili, are they here for Ren as well?"
"These two little girls are not bad, and I feel like they are just messing around. As long as my mom is happy, they can do whatever they want." Hao Zhonghua stared at the laptop on the bed while his fingers typed on the keyboard.
"I'll say it first. I like Zi," Yue Yang put down the documents in her hand and looked at Hao Zhonghua.
Hao Zhonghua pressed the enter button twice and looked at Yue Yang. "Then, I'll say it too. I like Yujia."
"Yujia is nice, but sometimes I feel like she is too soft. Zi is lively and smart, and she will be able to come up with ideas for the future. Ren is a muddle-headed guy, so he should find someone like Zi," Yue Yang pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose and discussed the issue in depth.
Hao Zhonghua closed the laptop and turned to Yue Yang. "Zi is cute, but Yujia is also very smart. Yujia will be able to take care of everything in the family in the future. "
Hearing Hao Zhonghua's words, Yue Yang continued to stare at him. "You mean I don't know how to take care of things at home, right?"
Hao Zhonghua froze and immediately explained, "That's not what I meant. Why are you changing the topic …"
Yue Yang pouted and said, "Yujia is your friend's daughter, and I like her from a personal point of view. But I'm telling you, Zi definitely likes Ren … "
"Zi is only a junior high school student. What can a kid know? My mom has been looking forward to having a grandchild, and I think Yujia and Ren are a good couple … "
"Zi will grow up in a few years, and Zi's family gets along well with ours. You know that I can't talk to anyone, except for Zi's mother. We talk for two hours every time, and we even went shopping together last time …"
"Can't she have her own boyfriend when she's grown up? Little Zi is only interested in Hao Ren; she doesn't like him …"
"Hao Zhonghua! You just want to fight with me, don't you! "
"Yue Yang, listen to me …"
"Not listening, not listening! Don't sleep in this bed tonight! "
"Well … Why do you have to do this? I have to work tomorrow …"
Hao Ren was about to cultivate in his room when he heard his parents arguing in the next room. He shook his head helplessly.
They're probably arguing about the latest international scientific discovery again …
Hao Ren exhaled slowly, closed his eyes, and continued to cultivate.
After Zhen Congming's guidance, the lightning cultivation technique had amazing effects, and his cultivation progress on Fifth Heaven was very smooth. However, there were only two to three weeks left before the Dragon God Shrine's general exams. As a Zhen-level cultivator, he couldn't unleash the power of Gen-level through the sword array formations.
Whether Hao Ren could become an official inspector or not would not only affect the situation of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, but it would also affect Su Han's reputation.
If Hao Ren became an official inspector, the burning down of the West Ocean Dragon Palace would become an internal affair of the Dragon God Shrine, and the unofficial Fuma of East Ocean wouldn't be important anymore.
No matter what, the West Ocean Dragon Palace wouldn't dare to go against the Dragon God Shrine.
From Su Han's perspective, if Hao Ren became an official inspector, he would be able to come back and help her. Then, there would be two official inspectors in East Ocean City. If Su Han could prove that she still had her previous strength, Qin Shaoyang wouldn't have any reason to interfere. Then, Qin Shaoyang would be able to sneak back to East Ocean City.
Whether Hao Ren could reach Gen-level or not would affect the entire situation.
The night passed quickly, and Hao Ren sorted out his nature essence and became more familiar with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. After getting used to the five times more nature essence in Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven, the thin nature essence on Fifth Heaven seemed to be a bit insufficient. The so-called cultivation was just a form of supervision and diligence.
"Ren, wake up! You still have to go to school!" Yue Yang shouted from outside.
"Oh, coming!" Hao Ren answered loudly. He put on his clothes, opened the window, and walked downstairs while looking at the ocean waves in the distance.
In their pink pajamas, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were already sitting at the dining table. Xie Yujia was wearing a white silk dress and a rose-colored three-quarter sleeve jacket. She looked like a budding rose as she sat at the dining table, waiting for breakfast.
The swaying Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked like two small flowers. When they saw Hao Ren, they hurriedly called out, "Gongzi!"
Their crisp voices made the morning in the house livelier.
Yue Yang smiled helplessly. "Have some bread and milk. Zhonghua will take you to school later."
In his black suit, Zhen Congming yawned and walked out of his room with Little White who was also yawning.
In the past, Hao Ren was the only kid in the house. Now, it was like an orphanage. Everyone, including Little White, was sitting in a row early in the morning and eating breakfast.
"Where's Dad?" Hao Ren asked.
"He's getting up," Yue Yang answered as she gave them some bread.
Dong, dong, dong …
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Hao Ren looked back and saw Hao Zhonghua walking down with a tired face. One of the buttons on his shirt was crooked.
"Uncle, your button is crooked!" Lu Linlin couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh, really …" Hao Zhonghua looked down and adjusted the button. Then, he said to Yue Yang, "I have an important conference report today. Sigh, I didn't sleep well last night and came home late. Can you make something for Mom to eat …"
"Ok. I'll transform into a good wife and loving mother!" Yue Yang answered with a heavy nasal voice as she handed out cups of milk to Hao Ren and the others.
In terms of administrative rank, she had a higher position than Hao Zhonghua, but she always respected her husband and followed her husband's arrangements in life.
However, they had different opinions on whether Zhao Yanzi or Xie Yujia was better.
Under the influence of Zi's mom, Yue Yang insisted on Zhao Yanzi. Under the influence of Yujia's dad, Hao Zhonghua insisted on Xie Yujia. This kind of tit-for-tat was even more intense than the disagreements they had over some scientific research issues.
Hao Ren felt the atmosphere between his parents wasn't right. However, he remembered that they didn't talk to each other for a week because they didn't know if Pluto should be excluded from the solar system. Today's situation was probably another comet hitting a planet.
"Yujia, I'll drive you to school after breakfast," Hao Zhonghua said as he sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of milk.
"Ok. Thank you, Uncle," Xie Yujia answered politely.
"Ren, invite Zi to our house for dinner this weekend!" Yue Yang put the milk carton on the table and said to Hao Ren.
"Ok …" Hao Ren nodded. However, he felt like his mom was furious.
"If it's not convenient for them to come, we can go to their house for dinner," Yue Yang continued.
"Ren, I plan to take you guys to the suburbs for an outing this weekend. Zi is about to take her final exams, so if she can't come out, we can go out and play," Hao Zhonghua said slowly.
Hao Ren looked at Hao Zhonghua on his left and then at Yue Yang on his right. He felt like they were both implying something.
"I'm hosting Tsiolkovsky this weekend," Yue Yang said coldly.
"Oh? You'll have time if you go to Zi's house for dinner?" Hao Zhonghua asked immediately.
"Zhao Hongyu gave me a pearl necklace a few days ago, and I bought a gift for her," Yue Yang said.
"Yujia's dad talked to me on the phone the other day. He knew that it's not easy to buy Blu-ray Discs in China, so he mailed over 200 of the latest game and movie discs from the U.S. There should be at least a few thousand dollars. I plan to send him a small gift in return, "Hao Zhonghua said.
Zhen Congming's eyes lit up when he heard about Blu-ray Discs. When he heard that it was from Xie Yujia's dad, his feelings for Xie Yujia deepened even more.
In fact, Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua were talking about their friendship to emphasize their own positions.
"Dad, it's about time to take Congming to school …" Hao Ren interrupted their gunfight.
"Let's go!" Hao Zhonghua picked up his jacket and walked to the door.
His expression was that of anger, as if his carefully drawn scientific hypothesis had been overturned. He slept on the floor last night and thought that Yue Yang would change her mind after thinking about it. However, Yue Yang still insisted that Hao Ren should be a couple with Zi, a middle school girl.
He knew that Yue Yang was recently transferred to the research institute in the city, and it was only two blocks away from Zhao Hongyu's Art District. Sometimes, they would have lunch together, go shopping, and look at clothes during lunch. However, he didn't expect that Yue Yang would lose her mind and take Zhao Yanzi as her daughter-in-law.
The couple hurried back to their room to change. Then, they came out in a hurry and sat in Hao Zhonghua's white Ford.
"Congming, Ren, let me drive you!" Yue Yang picked up her car key and said to Hao Ren and Zhen Congming.
She had been transferred back from Beijing, so she bought herself a small car so that Hao Zhonghua wouldn't have to drive her all the time.
Zhen Congming didn't mind and got into Yue Yang's car immediately. Hao Ren thought about it and got into Yue Yang's car as well.
"Yujia, get in!" Hao Zhonghua said.
Xie Yujia stood at the door and looked at Yue Yang's car. After a few seconds of hesitation, she got into Hao Zhonghua's car.
Vroom!
Yue Yang stepped on the gas pedal and left the house first.
She was also angry. Hao Zhonghua usually gave in to her, but when it came to Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia, he insisted on choosing Xie Yujia and didn't give in at all. That made her angry too.
When Hao Zhonghua talked to her about taking Xie Yujia to his home, she agreed without hesitation. Now, it seemed that Hao Zhonghua wanted Hao Ren and Xie Yujia to develop a relationship!
It would be fine if Hao Ren had the freedom to choose. However, Hao Zhonghua favored Xie Yujia and arranged for Xie Yujia to live in his home.
"Hao Ren said that everything must be fair and just, but he played tricks and made things go the way he wanted …" The more Yue Yang thought about it, the angrier she got.
"Mom! Slow down! "Hao Ren couldn't help but try to calm her down.
Hao Ren knew Yue Yang's driving skills very well. Usually, she didn't dare to go over 60 miles per hour. However, today, it suddenly went up to 80 miles per hour on the seaside road.
Hearing Hao Ren's reminder, Yue Yang looked down at the speedometer and slightly let go of the gas pedal.
"Are you okay, Mom?" Hao Ren was worried and asked her.
He looked back and saw his dad's white Ford was right behind them. However, he didn't overtake them or drive alongside them; he just kept a distance.
"I'm fine! From now on, let Zi come to our home more often on the weekends! Or you guys can go out and play, "Yue Yang thought for a moment and said.
"She is busy with her schoolwork …" Hao Ren said.
"You can help her with her homework. Just because Yujia lives in our home doesn't mean that you have to stay with her all day," Yue Yang continued.
Hao Ren went out with Xie Yujia for two days this weekend, and he left very early and came back in the evening. This made Yue Yang suspicious.
Xie Yujia was good in all aspects. Yue Yang had imagined that Xie Yujia would marry into her family, but she was worried that Hao Ren and Xie Yujia would hurt the relationship between her and Zhao Hongyu. From the conversation between the two mothers, Yue Yang knew that Zhao Yanzi cared a lot about Hao Ren even though she was chatty.
"Woo …"
Hao Zhonghua's white Ford sped up and caught up from behind. They were driving side by side.
"Yue Yang! I'm not going to argue with you. Let's talk about this tonight! "Hao Zhonghua couldn't help but yell at Yue Yang after following her for more than ten minutes.
Yue Yang's expectation was completely different from his, and it surprised Hao Zhonghua. He thought that Yue Yang would be more practical like him and take care of Xie Yujia as her future daughter-in-law.
"Humph!" Yue Yang stepped on the gas pedal and left Hao Zhonghua's car behind.
Yue Yang drove into the city center and separated from Hao Zhonghua's white Ford. She drove Zhen Congming to LingZhao Elementary School.
"Congming! Congming! "
The moment Zhen Congming stepped out of the car with his backpack, many lolis surrounded him.
The proud Zhen Congming held his head high and chest out. Ignoring the little lolis following behind him, he strode into the entrance of the elementary school.
"I'll drive you to school …" Yue Yang looked back at Hao Ren who was sitting in the back seat before starting the car.
The moment Yue Yang drove past the gate of LingZhao Middle School, Hao Ren looked toward the gate subconsciously and saw the familiar Rolls-Royce Phantom at the gate of LingZhao Middle School again.
