Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 33 Other People’s Children
Hearing Zhao Jincheng's surprised voice, Xue Wenhui also looked over and saw that there were indeed three big characters for "Accounting" on it.

"This is after the adjustment. If I applied to the martial arts academy based on my grades, I wouldn't have been accepted."

Seeing this, Zhao Rui quickly offered a few words of explanation.

Zhao Jincheng and his wife had only a vague understanding of the situation, but they knew that getting into Dongqi University was a good thing.

Suddenly, he stopped worrying about his major and excitedly called his friends and family to share the good news.

To be honest, Zhao Rui has not met these relatives of his since he regained his memories of his past life.

But family matters happen everywhere. This family gets along quite well.

Zhao Jincheng has two brothers. The eldest brother is a businessman and can be considered a small boss with assets worth tens of millions.

They run an OEM shoe and hat factory and a wood processing factory.

The second son is Zhao Jincheng, an ordinary office worker in the financial industry. Although he is not rich, he is not worried about food and drink.

As for the third brother, he's quite formidable: a level seven martial artist, a member of the county martial arts association, and a shareholder in several companies.

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that he has a son, who is Zhao Rui's cousin, who is only sixteen years old, the same age as Zhao Ke.

He was already at the level of a fifth-level martial artist and was one of the top ten students in the county.

Wherever there are people, there is bound to be conflict; even the mundane affairs of family life are a form of conflict within this dynamic.

However, to put it more precisely, it's nothing more than praising the powerful and belittling the weak.

Zhao Rui is in a better position. After all, he was already a level three martial artist. Although he wasn't outstanding, he was still a martial artist. He could take the college entrance exam and develop his skills gradually, which was acceptable.

However, his younger brother Zhao Ke was not well-liked and was often bullied and suppressed by his cousin.

My father is incompetent, and I have no talent.

Isn't this the perfect example of a pushover?
Along with every gathering, his cousins ​​from his uncle's family would also join in making fun of him.

This made his younger brother, Zhao Ke, extremely disgusted with the so-called family gatherings.

Looking back now, Zhao Rui even wonders if his younger brother was the protagonist of one of the novels he read in his previous life.

—A once-impoverished scion of a family with no martial arts skills, suddenly gifted with martial arts, kicks his brother, a level three martial artist, sweeps aside his cousin, a level five martial artist, angrily kills the school bully, and wins the heart of Ya Ru…

Cough!

No wonder my younger brother harbors such resentment and is so eager to cultivate martial arts.

Anyone would feel resentful in that situation.

A moment's distraction caused Zhao Rui's gaze towards his younger brother to reveal a different kind of emotion.

Poor little brother!

As he was lost in thought, Zhao Jincheng handed him his phone.

"Your third uncle's phone call!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui took the phone and called out, "Third Uncle!"

"Congratulations, Xiao Rui! You've put in a lot of effort to reach Level 4 by graduation. Your third uncle is very happy..."

On the phone, Zhao Rui's third uncle, Zhao Jinze, said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle. Come visit sometime! I haven't seen my little brother in ages!"

"He lost to someone last time and he's been holding a grudge. He's been in seclusion all summer. I'll talk to him about coming to visit you guys for a couple of days later."

"Okay, Uncle!"

After chatting for a few minutes, Zhao Rui returned the phone to his father.

Human relationships are complex; it's not always so clear-cut to distinguish between good and bad.

It's just a matter of different levels of familiarity and personal preference!

The Zhao family was immersed in joy all morning until around 10 a.m., when Tian Yaru called. Only then did he ride his bicycle and rush over.

I'm happy as I am, but I still have to make money!

Before long, he arrived at the entrance of Tian Yaru's villa, where a Toyota Alphard he had never seen before was parked.

After locking the car at the corner of the wall by the entrance, Zhao Rui stepped into the villa courtyard.

As soon as he pushed open the door to the entrance, Tian Yaru greeted him with a joyful expression. Without saying a word, she grabbed his backpack and led him into the study.

"You've finally arrived! You've kept me from studying, I'll dock your pay later!"

The little girl's words left Zhao Rui completely bewildered. He glanced around the living room out of the corner of his eye.

There were quite a few people sitting in the living room. Besides Tian Muhao and his wife, there was another couple with a girl who was about the same age as Tian Yaru.

Zhao Rui had just greeted the couple who owned the house when Tian Yaru pulled him into the study.

Seeing this, Tian Muqiang awkwardly apologized to the family of guests opposite him, saying, "They've all been spoiled by me; they have no manners at all!"

"It's alright, it's a good thing to love learning," the man opposite replied with a smile, then casually added, "That young man from earlier?"

"Oh, you hired a tutor? The young man is doing a pretty good job!"

Ms. Song smiled and offered an explanation.

"Oh, that's great. We'll get one for Yi Yan too..."

The man looked at the girl beside him and said with a smile.

"Yi Yan is so good at studying and a martial arts genius, unlike our Ya Ru..."

The group then started chatting about this topic.

In the study, Tian Yaru pouted slightly and with a disgruntled expression, pulled her head back from the door.

He muttered to himself, "It's the same thing every time they come. I'm sick of hearing it. Their daughter is a genius, what does it have to do with me... what the hell!"

Tian Yaru blushed, spat out the fragrant red tea, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Can you stay a little later tonight? I'm afraid they'll stay for lunch."

"Row!"

Zhao Rui readily agreed: "I'll have to pay more!"

"despise!"

Tian Yaru immediately made a vertical finger gesture towards Zhao Ruibi.

Although the gesture was not very elegant, to be fair, the little girl's fingers were slender and long, like scallions, and her light pink nails were neatly trimmed and very beautiful.

"Let's get to class soon, school starts soon."

Zhao Rui ignored her, took out his old notebook from his bag, and prepared to give her a lesson.

"Oh? You got your acceptance letter? When does school start?"

"Here we come. School starts on September 1st, less than two weeks away."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately pouted her rosy lips, highlighting two shallow dimples at the corners of her fair mouth.

"What? You can't bear to leave me?"

Zhao Rui smiled slightly.

"Brother, you're so shameless! I was just thinking that since you're starting school, I'll have to start school too, okay? Humph!"

Tian Yaru glanced at Zhao Rui with a slight look in her eyes, her coquettish expression carrying a hint of allure that made one's heart flutter.

"Haha! Alright, let's get to class!"

Who doesn't love beautiful things!
Zhao Rui led her to a seat in front of his desk and then began to teach his lesson in a serious and methodical manner.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as the two were engrossed in discussing their studies, there was a knock on the study door.

Tian Yaru asked in a crisp voice, "Who is it?"

"Ya Ru, it's me, Yi Yan!"

A slightly languid, husky female voice drifted from outside, sounding like an unripe plum.

"What's wrong? I'm studying!"

Upon hearing this voice, Tian Yaru immediately pouted, her cute little nose wrinkling slightly, looking unhappy.

She's just like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet.

"The auntie said you should rest for a bit and come out to have some fruit!"

"Okay!" Tian Yaru replied indifferently, with no intention of opening the door at all.

The other person probably knew her temper, because after speaking, they turned around and went back to the living room.

A short while later, Aunt Song knocked on the door and came in carrying a plate of sliced ​​fruit.

Behind her followed a girl with smiling eyes and a languid posture.

It should be the girl Tian Yaru was talking about.

"Why are you so serious today? If you don't eat, Zhao Rui has to eat too!"

Aunt Song smiled and placed the fruit plate on the corner of the desk, speaking softly.

Just as she was speaking, the girl behind her also looked at Tian Yaru with her bright eyes, a half-smile on her pretty face.

Tian Yaru snorted coldly, too lazy to look at her face.

"Let's study a little longer, then come out for dinner. Zhao Rui, you come too!"

After putting down the fruit plate, Aunt Song smiled and said to Tian Yaru and the other girl.

"No, Auntie..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui quickly declined, saying that he could spend more time studying, but there was no need to skip the meal.

Before he could finish speaking, Tian Yaru nudged him hard with her elbow and interrupted, "Mom, Zhao Rui is staying for dinner, you guys go out first!"

After saying that, she turned her head and winked at Zhao Rui.

Their eyes seemed to speak volumes, sometimes threatening, sometimes pleading.

"Thank you for your help, Auntie!"

Seeing this, Zhao Rui didn't refuse anymore and agreed with a smile.

"Why are you so polite!"

"You young people talk!"

After Aunt Song finished speaking, she turned and left the study. However, the girl behind her did not leave, but instead leisurely examined the textbooks on the desk.

"What are you still doing here? I still need to study."

Tian Yaru flipped the books on the table over to protect the desk, and snorted.

"You have to call me 'sister'!"

The girl spoke slowly and deliberately, then pressed her hand on the desk. Tian Yaru was immediately struck dumb, her body trembled, and she sprang away from the desk.

"you!"

"I can't care what you're learning. Just remember to call me 'sister' when we eat!"

The girl's lips curled slightly into a smile, and then she swaggered out of the study.

"Hmph, you're making me so angry! All you do is bully me with your martial arts!"

As Tian Yaru spoke, her eyes began to redden, and two pools of clear water gradually gathered in her eyes, with crystal tears about to fall.

"Alright, stop pretending. I won't help you no matter how much you pretend!"

Zhao Rui reached out and flipped the textbook on the table over again, then said in an annoyed tone.

"Hmph, disgusting!"

Tian Yaru immediately dropped her aggrieved expression, sighed, and said, "She's a level five martial artist; you might not be able to beat her."

Zhao Rui ignored her, picked up his textbook, and continued explaining the problem to Tian Yaru.

"Really boring!"

Seeing that Zhao Rui remained unmoved, Tian Yaru had no choice but to listen to the lesson attentively.

It was past midnight when Aunt Song knocked on the study door and asked Tian Yaru and the other girl to go to the dining room for lunch.

Tian Yaru reluctantly left the study with Zhao Rui and headed to the dining room.

The restaurant is very large, with a huge rectangular table in the middle, on which many dishes are placed.

The ingredients are dug from the ground and fished from the sea, and the preparation process is quite exquisite. Zhao Rui had never seen many of the dishes before.

At this time, Tian Muqiang and his wife had already taken their seats at the dining table with their guests.

"Come on in, come on in! Xiao Zhao, don't be shy at my house!"

Seeing her daughter and Zhao Rui arrive, Aunt Song immediately stood up and warmly invited Zhao Rui to take a seat, since he was not only her daughter's tutor but also her friend's junior apprentice.

Both morally and logically, it's only right to have a simple home-cooked meal.

Zhao Rui didn't hesitate. Since he had decided to stay, he ate the meal openly and honestly.

After thanking him, he sat down in his seat.

"I'll sit here with Brother Zhao Rui!"

Seeing Zhao Rui sit down, Tian Yaru followed suit and sat down in the seat next to him.

"This kid!"

Tian Muqiang smiled indulgently, then gestured for everyone to make themselves at home and eat as they pleased.

The two families seemed to know each other very well, and there wasn't much formality between them as they ate and chatted.

After chatting for a short while, the conversation turned to the girl who had come to visit.

It turns out the girl was also taking the college entrance exam this year, but she applied to Dongqi Martial Arts Normal College.

"Zhao Rui is from Dongqi University!"

Hearing the parents praising this "older sister" again, Tian Yaru couldn't help but tease them.

"Dongqi University?"

The girl named Yi Yan glanced at Zhao Rui with a surprised expression.

"Of course I know your brother Zhao is a good student, otherwise I would have asked him to tutor you! You have to study hard with him!"

When Aunt Song heard her daughter's words, she knew that her daughter was throwing a tantrum again, so she couldn't help but warn her.

Tian Yaru pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. Instead, she lowered her head with a resentful look and started picking at the food in her bowl.

Seemingly sensing his daughter's displeasure, Tian Muqiang stopped mentioning her studies and instead started talking about some interesting things in business.

While listening attentively to broaden his horizons, Zhao Rui diligently ate the food on his plate.

After all, these dishes are not cheap, and they taste quite good.

After this meal, who knows where the next such feast will come from?

He would absolutely not do it if you asked him to pay for it himself.

Since no one drank alcohol, the meal was eaten quickly. Before long, everyone left the dining table and went to the living room to drink tea again.

Zhao Rui sat for a short while before getting up to take his leave.

Unexpectedly, the girl named Yi Yan took out her phone and wanted to add him on WeChat.

They said they would be studying in the same city in the future, so they would know each other.

"Brother Zhao Rui is very busy, he doesn't have time to deal with you!"

Tian Yaru quickly grabbed Zhao Rui's arm and pulled him outside.

Zhao Rui smiled apologetically at her, then let Tian Yaru pull him away.

Once outside the villa, Tian Yaru released her grip on Zhao Rui's arm and said, "Brother Zhao Rui, that girl is wicked. Don't add her!"

Zhao Rui hopped on his bicycle, looked at Tian Yaru, smiled, and said, "Whether I have any connection with her or not doesn't matter. I'm leaving now. You stay home and study hard."

After saying that, he got on his bike and rode out of the residential area.

……

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Rui's celebratory banquet for his college entrance exam finally began.

Most of Zhao Rui's parents' families will come to Lincheng.

Zhao Rui did so well on the exam, which made Zhao Jincheng proud. He gritted his teeth and treated everyone to a meal at a local five-star hotel.

The price was high, but the service was excellent!
The hotel takes care of many things in advance, so you don't need to do anything.

　I had a visit from relatives tonight and drank a little, so the update is a bit late. Sorry.
