Free Web NovelChapter 602: Chapter 600 Xue Yang! I’m on a diet!!!
Xue Xing truly could not understand. Sister Si Wen hadn’t done anything to make people think badly of her. When she visited during the New Year, she even brought gifts for everyone. His sister-in-law had done the same, and so had Sister Si Wen. Why, then, was the way they were treated so vastly different?
"Mom, if you would just set aside your prejudice against Sister Si Wen, you would find that she’s a really good girl."
Hearing Xue Xing defend Si Wen like this, Yang Zhaodi’s dislike for the girl only intensified. She said sternly, "This isn’t prejudice. That girl is not suitable for you."
Xue Xing frowned and retorted, "Whether she’s suitable or not isn’t for you to decide. Sister Si Wen is a wonderful person, and she deserves the best of everything."
Xue Xing couldn’t bear to hear anyone speak ill of Si Wen, not even his own mother.
"Are you not even going to listen to your mom anymore?"
"Mom, I’ve listened to you my entire life, but when it comes to a lifelong commitment, I want to listen to myself."
At his words, Yang Zhaodi pointed at him and scolded, "They say a man forgets his mother once he gets a wife. You’re not even married yet, and you’ve already started to go against me! In any case, I will not agree to this."
Xue Xing stopped arguing with his mother. Instead, he picked up the large suitcase, ready to head into the school.
"I’m not finished talking! What’s in this big suitcase? Let me see!"
Before Xue Xing could react, she snatched it away and immediately opened it. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"It really is study materials..."
Yang Zhaodi was dumbfounded. She had thought Xue Xing was lying to her. But when she saw Si Wen’s name written on some of the study materials, she understood everything. freewёbnoνel.com
"Mom, if you continue to be this unreasonable, I will never come home again."
Xue Xing angrily shoved the materials back into the suitcase. Then, without looking back, he walked toward the school.
Yang Zhaodi wanted to call him back, but she hesitated when she remembered what he had just said. If he really never came home again, it would be a huge problem.
"Lao Xue, do you think Xue Xing is so desperate to get into Yanbei University because of Si Wen?"
Xue Yuanming had been watching his son’s reaction from the beginning without saying a word. Hearing Yang Zhaodi’s question now, he furrowed his brow. "No matter who he’s doing it for, as long as he can get into Yanbei University, it will only bring benefits, not harm."
The more Yang Zhaodi thought about it, the more frightened she became. "No. I don’t approve of Xue Xing applying to Yanbei University. He should apply to other universities."
Xue Yuanming said sternly, "Have you lost your mind?"
"I haven’t. Lao Xue, believe it or not, if Xue Xing really gets into Yanbei University, he won’t need us anymore."
If that really happened, she would truly go mad.
Xue Yuanming rebuked her disapprovingly, "Xue Xing is his own person; he has his own thoughts. We didn’t give birth to him just to keep him tied to our side. If he wants to pursue his dreams, we should let him. We should be content as long as he thinks to come home for the holidays."
Yang Zhaodi was at a loss for words, realizing she had overreacted.
"Lao Xue..."
"That’s enough. Don’t say another word. Let’s go home. Don’t make a scene here."
After speaking, Xue Yuanming turned and walked away. Yang Zhaodi looked from the school back to Xue Yuanming and finally had no choice but to hurry after him.
What kind of fate was this? To have worked so hard to raise a son, only for it to be so difficult to even see him once.
After Xue Xing entered the school, he caused quite a stir, mainly because his appearance had changed so much. It was as if he had undergone plastic surgery; his entire demeanor had undergone an earth-shattering transformation. If it weren’t for his recognizably handsome face, his classmates would have barely recognized him.
"Whoa! Xue Xing, did you take a few days off to get plastic surgery?" his close buddy, Fatty Guo, teased.
Xue Xing kicked out at him. "What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and help me take these boxes to the dorm. There’s good stuff inside."
At the mention of "good stuff," Fatty Guo’s eyes immediately lit up. "Brother Xing, you must be exhausted! These boxes are so heavy, let me get them for you."
He took both boxes from Xue Xing, whose arms instantly felt lighter. The two of them returned to the dorm, turning many heads along the way.
As soon as they entered, Fatty Guo pounced on the boxes like a hungry wolf. He opened the first one and found it was full of clothes. Disappointed, he quickly opened the second one, only to find it was full of study materials.
Fatty Guo was dumbfounded. "Where’s the good stuff you mentioned?"
His gaze shifted to Xue Xing’s backpack. "Could it be in this backpack!"
Saying so, he snatched Xue Xing’s backpack away. But it was just more clothes...
Not giving up, he tried to pry open Xue Xing’s mouth. "You little rascal, hiding food in your mouth, aren’t you? You’re a ’sneaky and sly’ guy."
Xue Xing quickly pushed him away. "Get off me! All you think about is eating. Don’t you have any self-awareness about how fat you’ve gotten?"
"No, you said there was good stuff. Where is it?"
Xue Xing pointed to the study materials on the floor and said, "Aren’t those the good things?"
"Please! We already have enough worksheets at school. Are you crazy, bringing in so many more?" As Fatty Guo spoke, he started to walk out, afraid that Xue Xing would give him the worksheets as payment for his help.
"Fatty, don’t you want to get into a top university? Just finish these worksheets, and believe me, you’ll definitely get in."
"Stop joking. With my scores, I’d be lucky to pass, let alone get into a top university."
"Fatty, you dare to make a bet with me?"
"What’s the bet?"
Xue Xing held up five fingers. "Five meals at KFC!"
Fatty Guo’s eyes sparkled. "Deal!"
That evening, when Xue Yang returned home, Lin Xi jumped on him as usual. He carried the clingy little woman into the sunroom. Auntie Shen brought Xue Yang his dinner and then excused herself.
Seeing that Lin Xi’s mood was low tonight, Xue Yang asked, "What’s wrong?"
"I’m thinking about how to punish Si Wen."
"Still angry?"
"Of course I am! Otherwise, if something like this happens again, she definitely won’t tell me. We’re supposed to be best friends, but her doing this shows just how little she thinks of me."
Lin Xi had originally planned to have Si Wen come over so she could keep an eye on her. However, the Si family had sent an auntie over to take care of her, so Lin Xi didn’t insist.
Xue Yang smiled helplessly and let her be.
"Here, have some meat." He picked up a piece of meat and brought it to her lips.
Lin Xi resentfully bit into it, chewing like a hamster.
Seeing her swallow, Xue Yang picked up another piece... and so it went. By the time Lin Xi realized what was happening, she had eaten almost the entire plate of meat.
"Xue Yang!"
From inside the sunroom came a roar that was both whiny and fierce. "I’m on a diet!!!"
In the kitchen, Auntie Shen heard the shout and smiled knowingly as she continued her work.
