Nan Li's Dad Issues Another Call to Arms

Chapter 45: Nan Li's Dad Issues Another Summons

Xia Junshan and Wang Yue, who usually had a discussion every day at noon, suddenly hadn't been seen at their usual spot for several consecutive days.

This made Wang Yue, who was living a peaceful life, a little uneasy. Could he be brewing up some big move again?

As expected, within a few days, Wang Yue found out what was going on.

One day, just as Wang Yue sat down to eat, Xia Junshan ran over without getting his food. He didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Yue and directly asked, "How's that tutoring plan you're working on with Zhong Yi coming along?"

"It's going great. The trial run has already started, and my Yuan Yuan is already attending classes. Yuan Yuan feels she's made a lot of progress!" Wang Yue put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"You're too much of a friend, not telling me when it started! And here I thought my Huanhuan missed her Uncle Wang!" Xia Junshan was immediately unhappy upon hearing that the tutoring classes had already begun.

"It's a trial run! It hasn't officially started. If you want to participate, download this software at home and have Zhong Yi open a spot for you!" Wang Yue said helplessly. The logic of a doting dad is terrifying.

"A trial run is fine, I'll have my daughter try it tonight! These cram schools are too much. Yesterday, your sister-in-law went to inquire about tutoring, and she found out there are one-on-one English tutors for three-year-olds. Are they all crazy?" Xia Junshan's anxious heart finally calmed down now that the matter was settled. He didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Yue either and turned to get his food.

After he returned with his food, Xia Junshan told Wang Yue what had happened again, without Wang Yue even asking.

Although he wasn't sure what had triggered him this time, Wang Yue knew without guessing that it must be related to his daughter.

"My father-in-law issued another family summons the day before yesterday, calling both families together. As expected, it ended unpleasantly again. Huanhuan's grades were very poor in class last time, and Tian Yulan brought it up in front of everyone. The child is older now and cares about her reputation, so she ran out crying. Nan Li and I quickly followed her. Huanhuan was crying so miserably, it broke my heart." Xia Junshan was dejected. The older my father-in-law gets, the less reliable he becomes.

"When people get old, they just want to enjoy their family time!" Wang Yue agreed. It's no wonder he summons you. If you brought your mother over, his summons might decrease.

"I know that. Your sister-in-law was also angry with my father-in-law yesterday. When he divorced, Nan Li had only two months left before her college entrance exams. He then got together with Tian Yulan's mother!" Xia Junshan said sheepishly. He was actually also dissatisfied with his father-in-law. Why stir up trouble? Can't he just call one side at a time?

"This!" Wang Yue glanced at Xia Junshan and decided to swallow his words.

"If you have something to say, just say it. When have I ever gossiped?" Xia Junshan urged.

"Alright, I feel like the old dean is a typical egoist. As long as he feels comfortable doing something, he rarely considers others," Wang Yue tentatively told Xia Junshan.

"Yes, I also feel he's quite selfish. Look at how he always summons both sides together. Isn't that just asking for trouble!" Xia Junshan spoke his mind.

"Exactly. Think about it, Sister-in-law's maternal grandfather was the dean back then. If your father-in-law hadn't pursued the eldest princess, it wouldn't have been easy for him to get the position of vice-dean. Back then, for the sake of his career, he chose to marry the eldest princess, even though he knew she was someone who couldn't even do housework. But in his old age, of course, he wants to live comfortably, so he divorced and married Tian Yulan's mother, who can take care of him. After all, Nan Li's maternal grandfather was no longer around then," Wang Yue directly revealed what he believed to be the truth.

"You're right. Girls must be very careful when choosing a husband. I will definitely help Huanhuan vet her future husband! Look at my mother-in-law, she was depressed right after the divorce. If it weren't for Nan Li taking good care of her, what would have happened!" Xia Junshan was indeed a doting dad, always thinking of his daughter.

However, Wang Yue felt uneasy after hearing him say that. His own daughter was also ten years old. She wouldn't be around for many more years!

Why am I so upset! It's all Xia Junshan's fault!

No, he's making me upset, so I have to make him even more upset! Don't ask me why, just ask Xiao Nai!

"Based on what you've told me about Tian Yulan, I don't think your drama will be short-lived. Her behavior is a bit like paranoid delusion, and she's very aggressive. As soon as she thinks you're bullying her, she'll act aggressively!" Wang Yue said with great certainty.

Xia Junshan was completely flustered now. This is someone I'll have to interact with for a long time. To put it bluntly, as long as my father-in-law is around, there will be no shortage of contact. Will I have to live in constant fear from now on?

Seeing that he was scared, Wang Yue quickly changed the subject. "I heard from my wife that almost all the students in the school are attending external tutoring classes. The competition is too fierce!"

"There's no other way. It's like watching a movie in a cinema. If one person stands up, and the others don't want to fight, they have to stand up too for a better viewing experience," Xia Junshan said helplessly. Why is it so hard to give his daughter a happy childhood?

Well, any topic can be brought back to his daughter.

"If you become the dean, your daughter will be the eldest princess and can enjoy a happy childhood!" Wang Yue rolled his eyes.

"So you're saying I'm ruining Huanhuan's childhood!" Xia Junshan was amused by him.

"Only realizing that now? It's not like only the rich second generation has the right to slack off. Besides, even the rich second generation doesn't want to slack off!" Wang Yue said and started eating.

Seeing his actions, Xia Junshan also ate honestly and said nothing more!

Wang Yue, however, was contemplating how to speed things up. The game engine from Xiao Nai was ready, but a game's architecture is so vast. When will one person finish it? I need to find a way.

So Wang Yue stopped thinking about rushing himself. He turned the game development process in So Young into a proposal and created a sample for a single-activity scene stress test to increase his leverage, and then prepared to approach Big Penguin again.

One Friday evening, Wang Yue told Wan Wan that he had to go on a business trip. Since Wang Yue occasionally traveled for business before, she didn't say anything. She just asked him to take care of himself and reminded him several times with concern.

Wang Yue waved his hand generously and embarked on his journey. Carrying his proposal and sample, and with his laptop bag on his back, he set off. Then, familiar with the way, he found the investment representative at Big Penguin again. When he returned, his net worth had already soared.

The first thing Wang Yue did was buy two adjoining duplex apartments on the ground floor in Xia Junshan's neighborhood, the kind with a small garden. He drew up the renovation plans and arranged for people to start the work.

After observing for so long, Wang Yue had already determined that Xia Junshan's family were definitely the protagonists. Their tendency for frequent accidents was too obvious.

Wang Yue had a rough idea of how to enter the TV world, and he also had some vague thoughts about how to return.

In the first world, Fourth Brother was by his side when he went. When he left, the plot had concluded. Wang Yue had just won the hacker defense battle, and Fourth Brother seemed to have gone to the restroom before Wang Yue.

In the second world, he saw Zheng Wei when he went. When he left, the plot had also concluded. He had become a professional dad, and Zheng Wei was by his side.

In this third world, he saw Xia Junshan as soon as he got off the bus. When he left, it was likely that the plot would also conclude, and Xia Junshan would be by his side.

After finishing all this, Wang Yue had no more worries. He could finally concentrate on perfecting his architectural skills in the courtyard with peace of mind.

Sigh, in the last world, I read up to my doctorate and felt so accomplished. But in the end, my dad skills were the first to be up to standard. It was utterly embarrassing.
