Marriage as a Game

Chapter 41 Uncle Zhong is coming back

During the last two days of September, the second monthly exam for senior high school students was held as scheduled.

It is still a joint examination of nine schools.

The order of the candidates' test numbers this time will be based on their last test scores.

Class 1 has exactly 20 seats, and the top 20 students in the grade are all in Class 1.

Early in the morning, Shen Chaoxi entered the examination room fifteen minutes early with her pencil case. She found her examination number 001 in the first seat in the first row.

When she came in, more than half of the students in the examination room were already in place, sitting in their seats and preparing for the exam, including Liao Juntao and Xu Yun, as well as the two girls who were in the conference room on the first floor that day.

Nearly a month had passed, and most people had forgotten about Shen Chaoxi's plagiarism incident, but these few people still remembered it vividly, especially when they saw the two ruthless slaps in the face given to the weak girl, which felt like a slap in their hearts.

"Shen Chaoxi."

Shen Chaoxi sat down and heard the boy behind him calling him.

She turned around and met Liao Juntao's flickering eyes. She didn't say anything and waited for him to speak.

"Well, I owe you an apology. Last time, I knew you couldn't have plagiarized me, but I didn't stand up and clarify for you. I'm sorry!"

Shen Chaoxi was a little confused, and his clear eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

There are many kinds of beauty in girls, including cute, bright, and graceful. But in Liao Juntao's eyes, he saw another kind of beauty that was somewhere in between the three, a kind of beauty that was both hard and soft. This kind of beauty made people dare not violate or desecrate it.

The girl raised her eyebrows, her lips slightly curled, and asked in a good mood: "You don't have eyes behind your back, how do you know I didn't copy yours?"

"Of course I know!" Liao Juntao said confidently, "You handed in your paper early that day, and I hadn't even started the last big question yet. How could you possibly have copied mine? Besides, I lost points on that big question, and you got full marks!
So I owe you an apology. I know better than anyone whether you have plagiarized or not, but because of a little vanity, I did not tell you the truth.

Later I thought about it, compared to your frankness, I was like a hypocrite!"

At this time, Liao Juntao's eyes were no longer flickering, but were full of sincerity, and a faint blush appeared on his face when he said this.

"I understand. I accept your apology." Shen Chaoxi winked at him and said playfully, "But you have to be careful. Now that we have switched positions, if you do better than me in the exam this time, maybe I will ask you to prove your innocence!"

After Shen Chaoxi finished speaking, he turned around and continued to organize his pencil case.

A smile instantly filled Liao Juntao's eyes. Because of his excellent academic performance, he skipped a grade in elementary and junior high school. Now he is only a 16-year-old boy. That kind of pure joy is without a trace of impurities.

At this time, the preparatory bell rang and the invigilator came in with a tightly sealed brown paper bag.

The two-day exam went smoothly.

The test questions were of medium difficulty. Except for the Chinese language test, Shen Chaoxi handed in his paper a quarter of an hour early almost every time, which stunned the other candidates.

"Damn! She handed in her math paper early even though it was such a huge amount of questions?"

The difficulty level of the questions this time is average, but the number of questions is very large, which is designed to test the candidates' answering speed.

Especially after the comprehensive science test, even several top students in the class were crying out for help!

“It’s impossible to finish it!”

After the monthly exams, the school will have a seven-day holiday.

Shen Chaoxi still went home with Zhongli, and the two of them tacitly did not talk about the exam.

Zhongli asked Shen Chaoxi about her holiday plans, intending to ask her out.

"My uncle's house is going to be demolished, so I've already rented a house and will be moving in the next few days. My grandma is about to be discharged from the hospital, so I'm too busy to go out and play." Shen Chaoxi has already planned his vacation for the next few days and has not left any free time.

Zhongli complained after hearing this. Thinking about the possibility that Shen Chaoxi would have to live on campus and they wouldn't be able to go to school together, she said, "How annoying! I used to go to school with you every day, see beautiful girls every day, and have motivation to get up, but you want to abandon me and leave me alone! What a miserable life!"

Shen Chaoxi looked at her and was amused: "You really have the potential to be an actor, don't be so cheesy! I made a study plan for you, that's pretty good, remember to review according to it, maybe you can still have a chance to travel around Europe during the winter vacation."

Hearing this, Zhongli clasped his fists towards Shen Chaoxi and said with a smile: "My brothers and others have read your review plan and said it was tailor-made for me! So my deskmate is the best to me!"

Zhongli hugged Shen Chaoxi's arm and rocked her like a spoiled child, then remembered a family matter and wanted to find someone to talk to.

"My uncle is coming back. He is a legendary figure in our family. My mother told me that before I was born, my uncle ran away because of the betrayal of his first love. He has been living abroad for many years. Except for occasional visits, he rarely comes back. This time, for some reason, he said he wanted to return to China to settle down!"

While Zhongli was chattering with Shen Chaoxi in the car, someone was also talking about Zhong's uncle.

Chongming Apartment.

Located in the center of Shangjing City, the most luxurious community in the central area.

When the apartment building was first built, Song Yang's father named it after his grandfather.

The community does not cover a large area, with only three buildings, and the indoor area of ​​each building is over 200 square meters.

In Beijing, where every inch of land is valuable, owning an apartment like this is definitely a qualification that only the wealthy families of the last century can have.

On the top floor of the second apartment building, in a five-meter-high open-air glass house, Song Yang hosted Shang Jianghan and Zhong Shuoxi for tea.

"I heard that Uncle Zhong is coming back?"

Song Yang has always been a know-it-all among the princes in the Beijing circle, and no matter how small the matter is, it is easy for him to hear it.

Since there is such a question, the news is 90% true.

Jong Suk Hee looked up at him.

"The news is good! I completed the procedures for returning to China last week and bought a villa in the Creative City District. I am ready to return to the embrace of the motherland!"

Shang Jianghan rarely has some free time. These days he has been hanging around the main building of Lianzhong, dealing with a bunch of old stubborn people, which makes him physically and mentally exhausted. At this moment, he pursed his lips and said nothing, leaning back on the leather sofa, smoking a cigarette and thinking quietly.

He had also heard of Uncle Zhong, a legendary figure of the previous generation.

If he hadn't saved the precarious Zhong family investment back then, there would be no place for the Zhong family in Shangjing City now!
The setting sun shines, the air is filled with mist and the aroma of tea is everywhere.

It's a perfect time for casual chatting.

"So your father is going to step down? He has invested so much energy in the Zhong family in the past few years. Does that mean your uncle is going to reap the fruits of his labor as soon as he comes back?"

Although Song Yang asked this question, there was not a trace of injustice in his heart, only gloating.

Jong Suk Hee glanced at him sideways.

If I hadn't grown up together and knew his temper, I would have gotten punched for saying this.

"My uncle originally controlled the majority of Zhong's shares. My grandmother was the second wife. When she came to the Zhong family, my grandfather and my first wife founded Zhong's shares together. My uncle inherited half of his mother's shares. There is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing to argue about.

However, when my uncle came back, he seemed to have no interest in the Zhong family. He had started a family and said that he was in middle age and wanted to return to his roots. He wanted to spend his old age with his wife!"
