Chapter 773: I'll go make a trip
Four Seasons Leeks presents "1990, I'm Back," exclusively premiered by Cola Novels!
Upon seeing Chen Zhe's message, Huang Xiaochuan was genuinely happy for him. After returning from this trip to Yenching, Chen Zhe would surely shine brightly in the domestic academic community.
Before Huang Xiaochuan could even put his phone down, the little girl buried her face in his chest!
"Dad! I just learned a piece of music. Can I play it for you?" The little girl looked at her father expectantly, holding her trumpet.
Huang Xiaochuan really wanted to tell his daughter, "Let it go!" But in the end, what came out of his mouth was, "Okay!"
Seeing that her father was willing to listen to her play a tune, the little girl was overjoyed. She first set up the music stand and the music sheet, then picked up the trumpet and began to play with great concentration.
Just then, the little girl's loyal lackey, Ugly Monster, dashed out without even looking back!
Huang Xiaochuan forced a smile as he listened to the little girl's intermittent playing. The sound was truly explosive, but Huang Xiaochuan understood. After all, she had only been learning for a few days, and it was already quite good that she could play like that. In the end, by a combination of guessing and deduction, Huang Xiaochuan finally figured out that the little girl was playing "Red Star Guides Me to Battle".
"Daddy! Did I play well?" The little girl's face was flushed as she played, and she didn't forget to ask her father if he played well.
Huang Xiaochuan, against his conscience, praised, "Hmm! That's really good, my daughter is amazing!"
"Hahaha!" The little girl felt satisfied with her father and excitedly headed to her concert room, carrying her trumpet and her music stand.
After the little girl's figure disappeared from sight, Huang Xiaochuan quickly rubbed his ears.
It seems this will continue for a while. Huang Xiaochuan sighed helplessly. There was no one to complain to. He was the one who strongly supported his daughter in learning this, and now he could only grit his teeth and persevere. He was just hoping that his daughter could play "The Spanish Bullfighter" for him soon, so that all the noise torture she had endured for so long would not have been in vain.
Just then, the ugly dog returned. It peeked around the doorway first, and only when it saw that its little master wasn't there did it feel safe enough to go inside. Huang Xiaochuan saw all of this and was both annoyed and amused. This dog was practically a spirit!
Meanwhile, Cheng Li returned to her home.
Her husband, Sun Jianshe, handed her slippers and asked, "Why are you so late tonight?"
Cheng Li hung her bag on the coat rack by the door and said, "I went to the library."
Sun Jianshe immediately guessed: "Going to see the younger sister?"
Cheng Li walked to the table, poured herself a glass of water, drank more than half of it in one gulp, and then nodded, "Mmm!"
Then he asked, "Where is Sun Yan?"
Sun Jianshe gestured with his chin towards a closed door: "Doing homework!"
Cheng Li then sat down.
"Why did you decide to go find your younger sister?" Sun Jianshe knew that Cheng Li's workplace and the library where his sister-in-law worked were not in the same direction, which is why he asked this question.
"My mom told me to go, otherwise why would I travel all that way?"
As the eldest son-in-law of the Cheng family, Sun Jianshe knew the Cheng family very well. As soon as he heard his wife's words, he knew that something must have happened.
"What's wrong now, little sister?"
Cheng Li rubbed her temples with both hands in distress: "My mother told me that my younger sister might be in a relationship again, and asked me to go and sound her out. So I went to the library, and that's how I ran into her."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jianshe's eyes immediately lit up: "You really talked about it?"
Cheng Li glared at the man, annoyed. "Why are you so enthusiastic?"
Sun Jianshe argued, "What do you mean I'm excited? I'm just concerned about my little sister, okay?"
Seeing that Cheng Li remained silent, Sun Jianshe pressed on, "What exactly happened? Tell me!"
Cheng Li sighed, "Sigh! My little sister has such strange taste in men, she always goes for guys so much older than her, I don't even know what to say about it."
Sun Jianshe was startled: "Huh?"
Then he asked, "How old are you?"
Cheng Li didn't know Chen Zhe's exact age either: "He's in his thirties, I guess! I'm not sure exactly how old he is, but he's more than ten years older than my younger sister."
Sun Jianshe's mouth instantly formed a big "o". The last boyfriend his sister-in-law dated was much older than her, and this time she actually found someone more than ten years older than her?
This really baffled him. With so many young men out there, why would he choose someone so much older?
"Hey! Could he be divorced?" Considering his age, Sun Jianshe couldn't help but think of a possibility.
"I couldn't get any information out of her. My sister is very stubborn; she refuses to admit that she's dating that guy!" Cheng Li said helplessly.
"What does the man do?"
"Isn't it a coincidence? This man is actually a professor at the University of Finance and Economics."
"Ah!" Sun Jianshe was stunned. This sister-in-law is really interesting. Why does she always look for people to date at the University of Finance and Economics? Is she going to hang herself on this one tree?
And this guy is actually a professor? Well, at least that's a big improvement. Last time it was a university teacher, only four or five years older than her. This time it's even more incredible—she's found a university professor, more than ten years older than her. What's she trying to do? Get revenge on her ex?
Sun Jianshe immediately considered many possibilities.
Sun Jianshe swallowed hard and asked, "Have you told your mother?"
Cheng Li shook her head helplessly: "I haven't told her yet, how am I supposed to tell her! If my mom finds out, she'll be worried to death."
Then Sun Jianshe thought of another possibility: "You said the other person is over thirty, could it be that they're divorced?"
"That's what I'm worried about. I'm thinking, after all, he's a university professor, so his status and conditions must be pretty good. But how could he not have been married? If he's not married, it's not a big deal. But if he's divorced, I'll always feel uneasy about it, not to mention my mom."
Cheng Li suddenly had an idea: "How about we ask my fourth sister's husband's younger brother to help us find out?"
Sun Jianshe thought for a moment and then rejected the idea: "Oh! Forget it! Do you think people have nothing better to do than ask about these things? Who is Erhe's brother? He's so busy every day! He makes hundreds of thousands every minute. Don't go and cause him any more trouble. Otherwise, Erhe will start gossiping about us."
It has to be said that Sun Jianshe's words made a lot of sense. Seeing that this method was not working, Cheng Li became conflicted again.
Seeing his wife's worried expression, Sun Jianshe took the initiative to take over the matter: "This matter is not that complicated. Since he is a professor at the University of Finance and Economics, it will be easy to handle. I will make a trip tomorrow and ask a few students at the university."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Li's face immediately lit up.
"Your idea is indeed quite good."
Sun Jianshe then asked, "Do you know what his name is? If you don't know his name, then I'd better not go."
"Oh! His name is Chen Zhe! I don't know which Chen, but just tell him that's his name when you ask!"
After hearing this, Sun Jianshe repeated, "Chen Zhe?"
