The Young Matriarch

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Soon, It Won’t Smell Anymore
 

It was a picture and a sentence.

“The Jade Talisman, prayed for by father, hoping everything goes smoothly in the college entrance examination!”

Although it seemed a bit excessive… if Duan Xingye’s mentality collapsed and the results turned out to be considerably worse than his own, it would be more beneficial to his return to the Duan Family.

Xu Xingchen had always understood a principle, “Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will combine to destroy him.”

If he could successfully return to the Duan Family, he would certainly make it up to Xingye, after all, they were brothers.

In the photo, the texture of the jade was lustrous, polished into the shape of a water droplet, with a touch of emerald green in the middle, looking exceedingly pleasing to the eye.

Duan Xingye knew that a jade pendant was not a metallic object and, according to the rules, could be worn into the examination hall.

Duan Xingye stared unblinkingly at the Moments post, then looked down at the clothes in his hand and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Disgusting!

So disgusting it made him want to vomit!

The joy he felt just a while ago had transformed into an equivalent disgust!

The Jade Talisman from Xu Xingchen was specially sought, while his clothes were picked up casually from a mall, and they didn’t even fit well…

It was like being extremely hungry, suddenly being invited to dinner, but just when he ecstatically picked up the chopsticks, he found a dead cockroach in the bowl.

Not wanting to eat, yet unable to part with it.

Disgusting.

And to think he had held on to some expectations for this father, it all appears to be a joke now.

Duan Xingye scoffed and decisively pulled out a pair of scissors from the desk, cut the clothes to shreds, and threw them into the garbage, severing his last lingering thoughts.

If he held even the slightest expectation for his dad again, let him fail this college entrance examination!

There was a knock at the door and Duan Xingye wearily called out, “Please come in.”

Duan Feihan entered from outside and handed him a finely packaged wooden box, “I wish you smooth sailing in the college entrance examination.”

Duan Xingye curiously opened it and to his surprise, found a limited-edition pen with his initials DXY engraved on the pen cap, it seemed to be custom ordered in advance.

Duan Xingye was pleasantly surprised, “Thank you, Uncle Four!”

Thinking again about the clothes his dad gave him, Duan Xingye felt an even stronger aversion.

Duan Feihan nodded, holding the paper bag ready to return to his own room, as Duan Xingye curiously eyed the logo on his paper bag and said with some surprise, “That seems to be a clothing brand logo, Uncle, did you go buy clothes?”

Tsk, truly shocking.

Most of Uncle Four’s clothes were usually delivered directly by the brands, when would he actually go buy clothes himself?

Duan Feihan kept a straight face, “Hmm, just on a whim.”

Duan Xingye felt there was something odd about it, but seeing how securely Duan Feihan guarded the paper bag, without revealing its contents, it was not appropriate to ask further.

Oh well, one could not expect any surprises from Uncle Four’s clothes, as they were mostly in the same color palette, practically wearing the same style all year round.

Before going downstairs for a meal, Bai Chuwei received a WeChat message from Duan Feihan.

[Duan Feihan: I wish you a smooth college entrance examination.]

[Your Ancestor: Hey, isn’t Hanhan being a little stingy? Just this simple wish?]

[Duan Feihan: …I will come to see you off on the day of the exam.]

Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue a few times, that’s it? No gift or something for the college entrance exam?

Bai Chuwei never demanded much, turned off her phone, patted Xue Qiu’s head, and prepared to go downstairs for a meal.

As soon as Bai Guofu saw Bai Chuwei and Bai Yinyin descending the stairs, he immediately smiled with squinted eyes and said, “Ancestor, Yinyin, you two are about to take the college entrance exam. Today, old man specially asked Xiaochen to stew a chicken soup, you both should drink a few more bowls!”

Bai Yinyin took a deep breath and couldn’t help exclaiming, “So fragrant!”

Bai Chuwei’s smile was ambivalent, fragrant?

Soon it would cease to be fragrant.
