American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

This made Missy even angrier, and after entering the room, she slammed the door shut with a loud "bang".

“And you, Shelly, Missy is your sister. You shouldn’t joke about her appearance!” After instructing her daughter, Mary turned her attention to her youngest son.

But young Sheldon was very clever; when his mother turned to look at him, he had already put on a "good boy" act.

Moreover, children are very perceptive, and young Sheldon clearly knew that his mother would "treat him well".

Sure enough, seeing her youngest son's "sensible" and intelligent appearance, Mary didn't say anything more.

……

Chapter 424 Reunion in Apple City

On this day, three cars were parked outside Apple City Airport. Mike, along with Connie's grandmother and others, went to the airport exit to wait.

Although they weren't given any special treatment, when Mike and his group arrived, ordinary people who were also there to pick them up made way for them.

One reason is Mike's appearance and clothing; his air of nobility makes him seem unlike an ordinary person.

Another, bigger reason is that the cold-faced woman, Nydy, who is also the bodyguard and driver, not only has a cold and unapproachable expression today, but also carries two alloy long knives on her back.

Yes, members of the Men in Black have the right to carry weapons anywhere, including airports.

However, the cold-faced woman seemed to be acting strangely today, suddenly becoming so "formal," which is unusual for her.

Mike guessed that the other person was probably re-familiarizing themselves with various human emotions.

In fact, after Mike used his "Blessing" to treat Nedy's loss of emotion twice, her condition had improved significantly.

However, it seems that some aftereffects remain, or some other physical conditions have arisen.

However, this wasn't a big deal for Mike, who possessed the power of blessing. If he wanted, the cold-faced woman's unpleasant symptoms would simply require two more blessings to resolve.

"Hmm! That's cool~"

On the contrary, Connie's grandmother, who likes to be unconventional, took a very good liking to the cool girl after meeting her for the first time.

To the side is the "Waiting-for-Wife Stone," a rock formation that seems to eagerly await the arrival of his wife and children—Old Man George.

After nearly a month of health "rest," his complexion was rosy, and even his bloated figure had shrunk considerably.

Judging from his condition, he should be able to go back with his family after Christmas.

……

A dozen minutes later, as the flight arrived, a group of women and children followed the crowd toward the airport exit.

"Mike~"

As the girl exclaimed, Lina, dressed as a country girl, nestled joyfully into Mike's arms like a bird released from its cage.

Following behind her, Mary, with her child, also saw her husband, who seemed to be in good condition, at the exit.

But before she could act, she was startled by Lina's actions.

Mary never expected that the quiet girl who had temporarily joined the team would have such an excited side.

After a moment of stunned silence, she protected Sheldon and Missy and walked toward her husband, who had also come to pick them up.

"Everything will be alright... It's okay now..."

In the middle of the open space, Mike gently patted the back of the girl in his arms.

It's clear that the other party has been under a lot of pressure lately.

After half a year of housework, the girl looked much more "mature," and her bookish air had faded somewhat, replaced by a more rustic charm reminiscent of a country girl.

After the initial excitement, the girl felt the man's hand slowly sliding down, just like before.

So, before the girl could be attacked in her private parts, she awkwardly grabbed the big, funny hand behind her, glared at the man, and then retreated to Peggy's side.

Yes, Peggy came along too, but she stood behind and stared at the man "quietly".

She naturally noticed the man's subtle actions.

"Haha..." Mike watched Lina whisper to Peggy without feeling embarrassed, then walked up to Missy, who was looking over expectantly.

Compared to Peggy's capable demeanor, Missy, despite being quite tall, still looks like a "child" due to her chubby face.

"Long time no see, Missy~" Mike greeted with a smile.

Then, just like two years ago, the little girl threw herself into Mike's arms.

After just one hug, Missy realized she was no longer a child. Her face flushed red, she quickly let go, stole a glance at her mother, and then shyly retreated behind her.

"Fool……"

Young Sheldon noticed his sister's flustered state and silently opened his mouth again.

Just then, Mike's smiling face appeared in front of him.

“You… I won’t hug you~” Little Sheldon was startled at first, then took a small step back to show his resistance.

It seems he was misled by Lina and Missy's performance.

"You wish..." Mike rolled his eyes at the little guy, still feeling unsatisfied, and reached out to ruffle the other's neatly combed slicked-back hair.

It's been half a year since I last saw him. He has actually grown a little taller, but it's not obvious yet. Overall, he still looks like a little bean sprout.

Of course, his eccentric personality remains the same as before.

"I wanted to ask you if you're interested in coming to Columbia University next year? As for the reason, you know..." Mike only explained his purpose after Sheldon started fixing his hair in dissatisfaction.

In fact, with Sheldon's level of talent, he could go to any university he wanted.

However, with two geniuses, Mike and Page, vouching for him at Columbia University, Sheldon's admission would be much easier.

It's worth mentioning that, like Mike, Peggy also passed all four years of Columbia University courses at the end of this year.

Both of them have now received their Columbia University diplomas, and if they go back to school next year, they will be taking graduate courses.

On the other hand, Sheldon naturally knew that Columbia University had excellent teaching resources, but with Peggy, a girl his age who always "outshone" him intellectually, around, he hesitated.

Finally, after thinking for a short while, Sheldon declined, saying, "Thank you for the invitation, but I still want to try it myself."

Yes, Sheldon had already basically decided that next year he would use his brilliant mind to write a paper that was better than Page's on "Network Intelligence Engineering," and then choose a better school than Columbia University to study at.

He wanted to quietly excel, and then "amaze" Peggy when they met again.

This was due to Sheldon's intense competitive spirit, even though the person he considered his rival was currently chatting privately with his girlfriends and hadn't noticed what was happening here at all.

"Alright then, good luck! I have high hopes for you~" Mike saw that young Sheldon was suddenly full of fighting spirit and gave him a friendly encouragement as usual.

Mike also knew that in about six months, Sheldon would perform exceptionally well at an international summer camp and would be invited by many top universities, both domestically and internationally.

Next, he will choose the University of California, where he will study, take graduate school entrance exams, and work for many years.

For young Sheldon, who wasn't good at interpersonal communication, such a simple life might be a good thing.

On the other side, Sheldon felt a sense of familiarity as he listened to Mike's encouragement.

'Isn't this the encouraging message Mike gave me after he beat me to first place in my class back in high school?'

Because of his visual memory technique, Sheldon Jr. can remember almost everything he has ever known since birth, including what Michael said and even the expression on Michael's face when he said it.

"Huh~"

Young Sheldon quickly shook his head, banishing the unpleasant memory from his mind.

Meanwhile, Mike had already gone to Mary's side.

Mary had heard the good news from her husband that he had made a full recovery.

The middle-aged couple are now holding hands tightly, with Mary praying and thanking God.

……

"I'll take you out for a big meal first, then you can rest well, and tomorrow we'll have a lively Christmas together~" Mike arranged the next steps after Mary finished praying.

At this point, there was only one day left until Christmas.

The streets were filled with a festive atmosphere, and even the waitresses in the restaurants were dressed in cheerful Christmas dresses.

After enjoying a fine meal at a five-star hotel, Mike led George and his family to a detached villa.

This place is not far from Mike's villa on Wall Street; it's a property left behind by the King Group's real estate investments.

It's perfect for George's family to live in now, and Mike even hired a cleaning lady in advance to do some simple renovations to the villa.

"Wow, this place feels like home..." Mary exclaimed with a smile as she looked at the cozy decorations with a touch of holiday spirit in the villa.

She had initially thought that the best-case scenario for spending Christmas in Apple City would be staying in a hotel. But to her surprise, Mike had prepared a house for their entire family.

This is not easy to do in Apple City.

"This place is so beautiful. Can John and I stay here for a few days?" Grandma Connie, who loves lively places, also thought highly of this cozy little villa.

This little villa, in particular, allows her to spend Christmas with her daughter Mary and her family.

“Of course, no problem. There are plenty of rooms in this little villa,” Mike replied with a smile, looking at his grandmother Connie.

Then, Connie's grandmother turned her gaze to her daughter, Mary.

“I’m fine with that too.” Mary naturally wouldn’t refuse her mother during the holidays. Then she reminded her, “You should ask John again what he thinks.”

“I’m fine with that too, I’ll listen to Connie…” Professor John gave the answer before Connie’s grandmother could even ask.

He's an easygoing person; he's fine with living anywhere as long as he can be with the people he likes.

Moreover, this villa does look much more comfortable than the staff suite where Professor John currently lives.

"Then it's decided! Let's go see our new home!" Grandma Connie cheered and led everyone into the small villa.

Afterwards, as the owner of the villa, Mike gave everyone a brief tour of the house before pulling Peggy and Lina aside to say goodbye.

After agreeing to meet at Mike's luxurious villa the next day, the three of them got into the car driven by the cold-faced woman, Nydy, and drove towards Wall Street.

By this time, it was already getting dark, and as Christmas Eve approached, the lights of countless homes twinkled outside the car window.

Lina was lost in thought, staring blankly at the bustling night view outside the window.

Before the girl could even feel sad, she was pulled into the warm embrace of the man next door by a large hand.

In the front passenger seat, Peggy glanced at the rearview mirror, then closed her eyes again, enjoying the rare moment of peace.

Chapter 425 Christmas Eve

The next morning, when Connie's grandmother and the others arrived at the luxurious villa where Mike was staying, they truly realized how "wealthy and powerful" the other party was.

The entire detached villa has been artificially decorated to resemble a fairytale castle, making it incredibly beautiful.

Of course, Chris was in charge of the appearance.

Then, when the group entered the villa and saw the scene of many beautiful women in the room, they were surprised again. Everything here was great, except that there seemed to be a lot of girls.

The "Devilish Figures" group consists of three members: Jessie and Carly, plus Peggy, Nidyl, and Tina, as well as Tina's younger brother and sister.

Overall, it looked very lively, with Christmas carols and dances playing on the large LCD TV screen in the lobby.

"Please make yourselves at home, everyone. Have something to eat and rest first..." Mike gestured for Connie's grandmother and the others to sit down.

The living room has been transformed into a "mini playground." In addition to the festive decorations hanging around the walls and sofa, the table is also filled with candies, desserts, and other snacks.

George and his wife, who were sitting on the sofa, looked at each other and felt amazed. Mike had only been away from the town of Deford for half a year, so how could he have changed so much?

In the room, apart from the three members of the "Devil Body Group" and Peggy, who were "acquaintances" of George and his wife, they didn't know any of the other girls.

"Mike, you really didn't disappoint your grandma. The child has grown so much!" Grandma Connie didn't think Mike had changed much.

After all, back in the small town of Deford, Mike's "scumbag" nature had already been figured out by Connie's grandmother.

“No, no, Jerry and Katie are Tina’s younger brother and sister…” Hearing Grandma Connie’s teasing, Mike quickly introduced the two children in the room to everyone.

Then, the identities of the other girls were briefly introduced.

"Oh, Grandma knows." Grandma Connie smiled as she observed the girls, then turned to Mike, raising an eyebrow and teasingly saying, "You seem to have done quite a bit in the past six months..."

With Connie's shrewdness, she naturally couldn't fail to see that Jerry and Katie weren't Mike's children. After all, Mike had only recently come of age; how could he have two children who were eleven or twelve years old?

The reason she teased Mike earlier was to liven up the atmosphere and help everyone in the room get to know each other more quickly.

Of course, this task was perfect for Grandma Connie. And there she was, the cheerful old woman already chatting with Jerry and Katie about something interesting.

Both kids are very well-behaved and look much "cuter" than little Sheldon.
