Chapter 679: Chapter 679

Upon learning that Huo Feng had been accepted into Tsinghua, Shen Jianhua’s joy was incomparable!

It had been a long time since he had seen Huo Feng, and what a perfect excuse this was, to catch up with the kid to reminisce about old times.

First, it would alleviate the pain of not having seen Huo Feng for so long.

Second, it would also allow him to show off a bit. Follow current novᴇls on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍

You see, in the family, Shen Jianhua’s doting on Huo Feng had always been considered by other elders as spoiling!

Back then, after Huo Feng’s middle school exams, he had gotten a classmate admitted to the hospital, and all the blame had fallen on Shen Jianhua!

They all thought it was because he had spoiled Huo Feng too much, leading to Huo Feng’s warped character and his becoming a student rascal.

Shen Jianhua had shouldered this black pot for several years, and today was finally the day he could set it down!

Shen Jianhua could at last show everyone in front of all others what an excellent child Huo Feng was!

Moreover, Huo Feng’s excellence had something to do with Shen Jianhua’s doting on him!

The Huo Family’s living room was bustling.

Before Huo Feng arrived, Shen Jianhua was already sitting in the living room bragging, retelling all the stories of Huo Feng’s childhood!

Even though the people sitting around him were all family members who knew these stories, he just had to tell them again!

And he spoke particularly loudly, intentionally letting Huo Mingshan, who was hiding in the kitchen, overhear.

The mischievous deeds of Huo Feng’s childhood, now coming from Shen Jianhua’s mouth, were all exemplary!

The younger generation in the living room also enjoyed listening to Shen Jianhua’s tall tales, and even though many details were exaggerated, his storytelling was indeed very engaging.

Just as Shen Jianhua was talking about how Huo Feng had bought a house in junior high, Huo Feng arrived with Pu Sangzhi!

At that moment, it was 4:00 in the afternoon.

Braving the scorching sun of the summer day, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng had returned home, dusty and sweaty despite having traveled by car...

Thankfully, there was central air conditioning at home, making the living room very cool!

"Ah, my eldest grandson is back!"

On hearing Huo Feng’s voice coming from the entrance, Shen Jianhua immediately lit up with joy, looking expectantly towards the entrance.

At the entrance, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi, who were changing their shoes, also heard Shen Jianhua’s excited voice.

They exchanged a look, and Huo Feng cracked a smile, whispering, "Looks like grandpa is in a good mood today..."

Pu Sangzhi whispered back, "Grandpa is still the same, always happy to see you, never changed."

Upon hearing this, Huo Feng smiled, "He loves me the most in the whole world, even more than you!"

With that said, Pu Sangzhi had nothing more to add...

Pu Sangzhi would never try to compete with his grandpa for affection...

After changing into slippers, Huo Feng reached back with his big hand and directly grabbed Pu Sangzhi’s small hand, leading her into the house.

"Grandpa, I heard you were here, so I rushed back! Don’t I love you so much!"

As soon as he saw Shen Jianhua, Huo Feng started flattering him right away, putting him up on a cloud with his words and making Shen Jianhua laugh out loud with delight!

"Hahaha, you rascal..."

Shen Jianhua pointed his finger at him, "You’ve got the nerve to say that! Such a big piece of good news, and I had to hear it from your mom instead of you firsthand!"

"Grandma, Auntie, good afternoon,"

Huo Feng casually greeted the others, sitting down on the couch next to them with Pu Sangzhi.

Pu Sangzhi also quickly and politely said her hellos, "Good afternoon..."

"Ah, it’s so nice to see you two together!"

Shen Jianhua’s large palm slapped his thigh emit a satisfied sigh, "Both got into Tsinghua, right? You’ll be going to university together, right?"

Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi both nodded, "Yeah."

Shen Jianhua’s smile broadened instantly, "Ah! That’s great! I’ve always had faith in you two! My eldest grandson has impeccable taste! Sangzhi girl, how much did you score on the college entrance exam this time? You must have passed easily, right?"

Huo Feng answered before Pu Sangzhi could, proudly bragging about her, "Sangzhi scored 734 on the college entrance exam this time, first in the whole province! With those scores, she could pick between Tsinghua and Peking University!"

"Impressive, Sangzhi girl!"

Shen Jianhua raised his tone, his face beaming with pride, "You two have really brought honor to our family!"

Shen Nuan, sitting on the side eating fruit, was also taken aback, so astonished she didn’t know what to say!

Because, Shen Nuan had taken her college entrance exams last year. Despite her best efforts, she had only scored a little over 500, not even passing the first-tier university admission line...

Originally, hearing that Huo Feng had scored 698 this year was shocking enough to drop her jaw!

Now that they’ve heard about Pu Sangzhi’s results! The top score in the whole province!

Shen Nuan belatedly realized that she was surrounded by prodigies!

"Normal, normal~ Low-key, low-key~"

Huo Feng raised his hand and waved it, "Think about it, if someone like me can score 698, a celestial being like Sangzhi must score at least thirty points more than me for sure!"

Pu Sangzhi quickly elbowed Huo Feng, hinting for him not to brag, especially not to brag involving her.

Pu Sangzhi didn’t think her results were that spectacular, she just performed normally.

Because during these three years, she had devoted a lot of energy to studying. She had given it her all...

Shen Jianhua pat his chest with content, feeling his entire life was fulfilled, "Our family suddenly has two going to Tsinghua, it’s like our ancestors are looking out for us!"

While Pu Sangzhi was feeling awkward about Shen Jianhua treating her as part of the family, he suddenly called her again. Pu Sangzhi quickly came back to her senses and replied, "Grandpa?"

"You must be a reincarnation of the God of Scholars, born with the destiny of a top scholar, right?"

Shen Jianhua looked at her earnestly and asked, "How are you so outstanding! Not only are you excellent, but you also led my grandson to be this excellent. With your good fortune... you absolutely cannot dump my grandson so easily!"

Pu Sangzhi could only smile awkwardly, "Grandpa, you’re joking. I’m not as good as you say, Huo Feng is truly outstanding. He worked hard, and his admission was his own achievement, not mine."

"Look at that, still so modest! Truly the life of a celestial! Must be that reincarnation of the God of Scholars!"

Shen Jianhua kept praising her non-stop, just like his mood at the moment, soaring high and unlikely to come down!

Pu Sangzhi felt extremely awkward, but also quite pleased.

Because the Huo Family members were all very friendly and genuinely kind to her.

"Haha~ Grandpa, you’re gonna make me die of laughter~"

Huo Feng next to Pu Sangzhi was slapping his knee and laughing, amused by Shen Jianhua’s rambling.

At that moment, Huo Mingshan, who had been holed up in the kitchen, followed the warm atmosphere and came out with a plate of afternoon tea snacks.

Pu Sangzhi immediately stood up and nodded politely.

"No need, no need, have a seat."

Huo Mingshan gestured for her to sit down and casually said to everyone, "You must be thirsty after chatting for so long, try some of the shaved ice I made."

At this, Huo Feng quickly stood up, took the tray from Huo Mingshan’s hands, and without a second thought, handed the first bowl to Grandpa Shen Jianhua, "Grandpa, the first bowl is for you, a token of respect from your grandson!"

It made Shen Jianhua burst into laughter, happily taking the shaved ice and exclaiming, "Huo Feng is so sensible! No faults at all! So considerate!"

"Here, Grandma, have some shaved ice."

"Here, Mom, Auntie..."

"Sangzhi, have a bowl..."

After everyone was served, lastly, Huo Feng handed a bowl to Huo Mingshan, "Dad."

By then, Huo Mingshan’s face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot!

There was no doubt that Huo Mingshan was very displeased!

Originally, the afternoon tea was Huo Mingshan’s effort to please Shen Jianhua, but Huo Feng had taken full advantage of it!

And to add insult to injury, he was the last one Huo Feng served!

Even taking into account the seniority, Huo Mingshan felt insulted...

He really couldn’t get along peacefully with that kid Huo Feng!

As they talked and ate, the atmosphere in the living room was relatively harmonious.

Then Shen Jianhua brought up a serious topic, "Huo Feng, with such a face-saving achievement, we have to set up a banquet! Let’s pick a date, and you bring Sangzhi along to make an impression; let your grandpa shine!"

Huo Feng nodded, "Sure, we must make Grandpa shine! Oh, and let’s go out for dinner tonight, my treat!"

Shen Jianhua laughed joyfully, "Hey, how can I let a youngster like you pay! Your dad is treating! Grandpa will give you a big red envelope too! Let’s go out tonight and eat well! My grandson worked hard!"

Huo Feng said, "Sure thing, my dad is treating! My dad is very generous!"

That kid Huo Feng was driving him crazy!
