Chapter 26: Isn’t It Just an Examination?“It seems like you already knew and didn’t tell me. Did you hear about it at the banquet last night?”
“Yeah.” Qin Ran didn’t want to talk about the banquet last night, nor did she want to talk about it tonight.
“Alright then. Get off the bed after you wake up. I’ll bring you to see something.” He understood that Qin Ran’s life wasn’t easy in the past, so he never asked too much about people and matters that she didn’t want to talk about, lest he made her uncomfortable.
With one hand holding Mo Chi, Qin Ran followed him step by step out of the master bedroom and into the living room. When he opened the door, Qin Ran was instantly dumbfounded. There were all sorts of gift boxes in the room. From the brand name on the gift boxes, Qin Ran could easily tell that there were clothes, bags, accessories, and perfume inside. Before she could come to her senses, she was brought to another slightly smaller guest room. She saw all kinds of dolls, big and small, sitting on the floor, on the bed, and on the table.
“These…”
“These are all prepared for you. If you don’t want a grand celebration banquet, then I can only prepare some small gifts for you.” Mo Chi’s words indicated that these were merely substitutes for second best.
“Let’s go down and eat first. You can take your time to look at it after you finish eating. There are also some limited edition items. From what I heard from Mo Qing, it seems like we have to make a reservation and it will take some time before it arrives.” Mo Chi brought the little girl downstairs and said.
However, Qin Ran suddenly stopped on the stairs and gripped Mo Chi’s hand tightly. She said, “I know you want to buy me a gift and congratulate me, but isn’t this too much? It’s too extravagant.”
But there was no such thing as “too much” in Mo Chi’s dictionary.
“Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after eating.” Mo Chi stretched out his hand and patted Qin Ran’s head as he said gently.
After sleeping for two hours, Qin Ran was a little hungry. She looked at the table full of dishes and ate seriously. Every time this happened, she would be deeply moved by the wisdom of her ancestors. How did they create the saying “Food is the sky for the people”? It was great!
After dinner, under Mo Chi’s enthusiastic invitation, Qin Ran went to look at the room full of luxurious items.
The quantity could be said to be enormous. Qin Ran felt that even if she only opened the packaging, it would be enough to keep her busy for the entire morning. No matter what, these things were too valuable, so she would definitely not accept them. It was just that Mo Chi was in a state of high spirits now and wouldn’t listen to anything she said. Fortunately, these things could usually be returned within seven days. There was still time to discuss the matter of refunds with him after two days.
“Isn’t it just an examination? Isn’t it just the first place?” In Qin Ran’s opinion, this top scholar of the college entrance examination really didn’t have much value. It was better to show off that she could hack the intranet of a national prison than being the top scholar.
“You’re still a child after all. You don’t know what kind of university you’ll go to in the future, or even what kind of job you’ll find after graduation.” Mo Chi’s sincere and earnest attitude was like a father lecturing his daughter on life’s principles.
Qin Ran shrugged. She was already a retired ace agent. Even if she didn’t work for the rest of her life, the high pension she received every year was enough for her to live a carefree life.
“After work tomorrow, we’ll have dinner with Grandpa at the Zhong Si Hotel,” Mo Chi continued.
“We’re eating together again?” The scene from the last meal was still fresh in her mind. She didn’t expect the second time to be so fast.
“Don’t worry, I guarantee that his attitude towards you this time won’t disappoint you.” Mo Chi smiled complacently.
As early as this afternoon, he had already called his grandfather to tell him that his wife was the top scholar. Ever since his great-grandfather started his company from scratch, most of the children in the family were not well-educated and there were almost none who passed the college entrance examination. Now that a top scholar has appeared out of nowhere, she will definitely be their favorite.
At five o’clock in the afternoon the next day, Qin Ran, who had just gotten off work, walked to the MPV with her backpack. As soon as she got on the MPV, she was met with Old Mr. Mo’s gratified and kind smile. “Ranran, you got off work.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Qin Ran had seen his cold appearance before, she would feel that the old man before her was too kind.
“Yes, yes.” Qin Ran nodded her head.
“Quick, get in the car.” As he spoke, he gestured for Qin Ran to sit beside him.
“I didn’t think that Mo Chi would be so lucky and have good taste. He actually married such an obedient child like you.”
Upon hearing the sudden praise, Qin Ran was at a loss and could only nod obediently.
