Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 252: Escape from the Mountains (33)

The two had a period of peaceful life after their marriage, but it didn't last long.

The venue opened by Chen Binghua eventually closed down, and he began to move into other industries, opening a horse farm and a golf course, and came back drunk every day.

Chu Mingyu is not a pushover. She has a big fight with Chen Binghua every night, and then goes to the company to complain to Chen Bingrui the next day.

Every time Chu Mingyu went to see Chen Bangrui, Chen Banghua would be scolded. He would not change after being scolded, and would even simply not go home.

Chu Mingyu was so angry that she had to go back to her parents' home to find Chu Mingxuan.

Over time, Chu Mingxuan became annoyed by his sister's family affairs.

Chen Binghua's marriage life is not going well, but Xiaocao's high school life is going very smoothly.

Although high school life is not much different from junior high school life.

The only major change was that Xiaocao's grades began to improve continuously. Until the first semester of his senior year, Xiaocao's grades were always among the best, and he became known as a dark horse.

Even Chen Xianhua didn't expect that Xiaocao's grades would make a qualitative leap in high school.

It was a tough time for Chen Jiahui, as Chen Bingrui and Ding Min often scolded her at home and asked her to learn from Xiaocao.

The two of them were still in the same class and sat at the same desk in high school. Chen Jiahui noticed that Xiaocao had not changed his study methods, which were still the same as in junior high school. How come his grades improved so much in high school?

Chen Jiahui has been becoming increasingly depressed recently, but Xiaocao has suddenly become outstanding because of his good grades.

Li Yanshu was successfully admitted to S University and enrolled in the history major.

After going to school, Chen Jiahui and Xiaocao saw Li Yanshu less and less often.

It was not until June 6th of the second semester of high school, Xiaocao's 9th birthday, that the Chen family held a small family dinner to celebrate the ceremony.

In addition to the Chu, Li and Chen families, Chen Xianhua also invited some old friends he was familiar with.

Although it is called a coming-of-age ceremony, it is just an ordinary meal.

Xiaocao was still wearing her usual casual sportswear, and she didn't even wear the black strapless long dress that Chen Jiahui had chosen for her.

Li Yanshu came back from school specially and gave her a silver watch as a gift for her 18th birthday.

The watch was very beautiful and Xiaocao liked it very much. She put it on her wrist in front of Li Yanshu.

The grass's skin is not white, but wheat-colored, which makes the silver dial more conspicuous and bright.

"It looks good." Li Yanshu smiled.

Chen Jiahui also came over to take a look: "Wow, this brand of watch is very expensive."

Xiaocao looked at Li Yanshu.

The Li family is a scholarly family. Although they have enough food and clothing, they are not as rich as the Chen family.

Li Yanshu smiled and said, "I earned this money from my part-time job."

Chen Jiahui said, "Li Yanshu, next year my coming-of-age gift can't be cheaper than hers. It has to follow this standard."

She took out the gift she had prepared for Xiaocao and handed it to her: "You will definitely like the gift I prepared for you."

Xiaocao took it apart and saw that it was a pair of tennis rackets.

It was specially customized by Chen Jiahui according to Xiaocao's playing habits and grip strength, and it also has Xiaocao's name printed on it.

Xiaocao really liked this racket and immediately swung it around.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Chen Jiahui was satisfied. She nudged Li Yanshu's arm with her elbow and said smugly, "See, Li Yanshu, giving her a beautiful gift is definitely not as good as a practical one."

Li Yanshu smiled helplessly: "Watches are also very practical."

Everyone else gave Xiaocao coming-of-age gifts.

Chen Xianhua generously gave a house in the city center, and both Chen Binghua and Chen Bingrui gave gold and silver jewelry.

Xiaohua also used her pocket money to buy a gift for her sister.

Chen Xianhua patted Xiaocao's hand and smiled slightly, saying, "Time flies so fast. You're already 18 years old."

Ding Min smiled and said, "Yes, time flies. Xiaohui's coming-of-age ceremony will be next year."

Chen Xianhua said: "As adults, we must shoulder adult responsibilities."

Chen Bingrui looked at Chen Xianhua, his wine glass shaking unconsciously. Chen Jiahui approached, and Chen Bingrui said, "Xiaohui, you should learn more like your sister. I heard your last test scores dropped."

Chen Jiahui wailed and fell on Ding Min's shoulder.

Li Yanshu didn't expect that Xiaocao's grades would improve so much in high school.

He looked at Xiaocao and thought to himself, he knew that Xiaocao was a very smart girl and hardworking, so it didn't make sense for her to have mediocre grades.

Chu Mingyu smiled and said to Xiaocao, "I heard that Xiaocao took first place again this time? That's amazing! I wish my and Binghua's children could be as smart as Xiaocao in the future."

...

Chu Mingyu is pregnant.

The happiest person was Chen Xianhe.

Ding Min and Yu Xi sat on both sides of Chu Mingyu and shared some pregnancy tips with her.

Chen Binghua only realized this now. He had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was also immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time.

The task was finally completed, and no one would urge him anymore. Chen Binghua was of course happy.

Now that Chu Mingyu has a child, she probably won’t keep an eye on him every day.

Li Yanshu sat aside and looked at Chu Mingyu, thinking, isn't this Xiaocao's coming-of-age party?

He glanced at Xiaocao subtly and found that she had a calm expression on her face, as if Chu Mingyu's affairs had not affected her at all.

Chen Jiahui walked over to Xiaocao and whispered, "You didn't say it yesterday or the day before yesterday, but you had to say it today. You're exposing her."

Xiaocao was surprised: "You don't like her?"

Chen Jiahui curled her lips: "Who would like her? She came to our house before, arrogant and even yelled at our nanny."

"I really don't know why my second uncle wanted to marry her."

"Now that she's pregnant, it must be even harder to serve her. Second Uncle is so miserable."

Xiaocao didn't say anything, looking at Chu Mingyu who was smiling happily not far away, and Chen Xianhe who was even happier than Chu Mingyu.

...

Chen Bingrui and his wife were lying in bed chatting at night.

Ding Min said: "Dad seems to be the happiest when my sister-in-law is pregnant."

Chen Bingrui patted Ding Min on the back: "Don't think too much. Our family is small, so of course he'll be happy to have one more."

"I know." Ding Min said, "I've always wanted to give Xiao Hui a brother or sister, but..."

Chen Bingrui said: "Having a child depends on fate, and having Xiaohui is also very good."

Ding Min smiled, but the worry in her heart could not be dispelled.

Chen Bingrui's mother died early, and Chen Xianhe has been urging the couple to have another child over the years.

Although Chen Xianhe rarely mentioned this matter in front of Ding Min, Ding Min knew that Chen Xianhe must have often urged Chen Bianrui about this matter in private.

Although her husband never mentioned it, Ding Min could also feel that Chen Xianhe was dissatisfied with her in terms of continuing the family line.

Ding Min had gone to the hospital for a check-up before. Both she and Chen Bingrui were in good health, and their relationship had been good since they got married. Unfortunately, they just couldn't get pregnant.

As Chen Jiahui grew older, she became older and it became more difficult for her to have a second child.

Chen Bingrui was reading the report sent by his secretary and was unaware of Ding Min's worries.
