Chapter 67: The mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law
The energy of the Ye family is indeed not small. Although Yanjing No. 16 Middle School is one of the key middle schools in the country, with a limited number of admissions each year and extremely strict admissions conditions, Xue Tianyi entered to study there based on Ye Wei's words.
Things were done easily.
"Grandpa Ye, you said you have already paid for my tuition fees in advance? How much is the total amount?"
China implements a nine-year compulsory education system, with six years of primary school and three years of junior high school. All national education is free, but starting from high school, tuition fees have to be paid out of your own pocket.
"Tuition fees... haha, it only costs a few thousand yuan in three years. Why do you want to raise it? I have already arranged the things that need to be done. You can just go to No. 16 Middle School and sign up in two days.
"
"How much is a few thousand dollars?"
Xue Tianyi asked again.
Ye Wei was startled for a moment, then nodded to Xue Tianyi, laughing and saying: "What's wrong with you kid? Do you want to give me the money?"
"yes.
"Xue Tianyi nodded seriously.
"You...what are you talking about?" Ye Wei deliberately raised his face and pretended to be angry, "Your grandfather saved my life back then. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am now. I'll do something for him.
It's only natural! Let alone thousands of dollars, even if it's hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions, I will still pay it for you!"
"My grandpa is my grandpa, and I am me! You owe my grandpa, but you don't owe me!" Xue Tianyi put the several thousand yuan he took out from the bank directly on the coffee table in front of him, and pushed it diagonally.
In front of Ye Wei, "Grandpa Ye, you helped me get a place for admission to No. 16 Middle School. I can't thank you enough. Let me handle the tuition issue myself? Please accept this money..."
"
"Xue Tianyi, put your money away! Do you look down on Grandpa Ye?"
Ye Wei glanced at the money Xue Tianyi put on the table, his white eyebrows raised upwards, he was really a little angry this time.
"I don't mean that!" Xue Tianyi smiled faintly, "I know Grandpa Ye, you are very rich, but your money is yours, not mine!"
"Your grandfather and I are brothers and sisters, what difference do we have between us? If you are willing, you can regard the Ye family as your own home in the future!"
"I appreciate Grandpa Ye's kindness, but I can still afford the tuition! Before going out, grandpa told me that if I encounter difficulties in Yanjing and I can't solve them myself, I can ask Grandpa Ye for help;
If you can solve it yourself, don't bother Grandpa Ye! If you blindly seek shelter from others, such a person will never achieve anything! I think such a person will live a more fulfilling and meaningful life by being self-reliant, working hard, and growing in adversity!
"
When Xue Tianyi said this, he looked at Ye Wei: "Grandpa Ye, I heard that you were also very hard-working when you were young. You earned your current family business with your own hands, right? Between you and my grandfather
I also understand some of the grievances and grievances caused by you. No matter what, I always feel that you are a person worth learning and respecting!"
"Well said! You are ambitious!" Ye Wei patted his thigh and looked at Xue Tianyi with admiration in his eyes, "From you, I see the shadow of myself back then! Haha, okay Xue Tianyi
, I will keep this money for you first, and when you need it in the future, you can take it from me!"
"good."
Xue Tianyi smiled and nodded.
"You are good at everything," Ye Wei took a cup of tea from Ye Dezhao, took a sip, and continued: "It's just that your temper is too stubborn. You need to change it in the future. It's easy to be stubborn!"
Xue Tianyi shook his head and said: "Grandpa Ye, I don't agree with your point of view. I think sometimes, being stubborn is not a bad thing!"
"..."
Ye Wei stared at Xue Tianyi blankly. For decades, people had regarded his words as a wise saying. No one had ever argued with him. Unexpectedly, Xue Tianyi did not save any face and directly denied his words.
After a while, Ye Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "You have the same temper as your grandfather when he was young, smelly and hard! However, although this temper sometimes makes people feel irritated, sometimes it makes people feel very angry.
Cute! Hehe, you are right, sometimes it is good for people to be a little stubborn! Forget it, let’s not discuss this topic! Xue Tianyi, you came and went in a hurry last time, and you didn’t say a few words
, you must not leave me today, have lunch with me, and by the way, tell me about your grandfather's current situation... don't refuse anymore, otherwise I will be really angry! "
"good."
The matter of studying in high school has been settled, Xue Tianyi is in a good mood, and since Ye Wei's words are true, he nods and agrees.
That morning, Ye Wei turned down all the entertainment and chatted with Xue Tianyi for half a day. When it was almost 12 noon, Ye Dezhao arranged lunch and came over to invite Ye Wei and Xue Tianyi to dinner.
Lunch was held in the small restaurant of Ye Wei's villa. Because he was worried that Xue Tianyi was afraid of strangers, Ye Wei just asked Ye Manwu and his parents to come over and eat with them.
The last time Xue Tianyi saw Ye Manwu, she was wearing a snow-white evening dress. She was graceful and fragrant, with an aloof temperament. She became the most dazzling and beautiful person in the entire banquet that night. But today she is wearing an elegant dress.
The white home clothes and soft cotton material cling lightly to her graceful body. Every movement of her hands and feet outlines the beautiful curves of her figure. Her hair is spread over her shoulders. The black and bright color forms a strong contrast with the clothes, making her even more attractive.
Her skin is pink and snowy, and her cold and unconventional beauty can give people a deep shock no matter when and where.
Xue Tianyi had already returned the half-broken Phoenix Jade Pendant, which was regarded as a "token of love" between the two, to Ye Manwu. He thought that he had cleared all relations with her, so he was not worried about the arrival of their family.
Don't feel embarrassed or embarrassed.
After several people met in a restaurant, Xue Tianyi met Ye Manwu's father Ye Nu and mother Zhou Qinghuan under the introduction of Ye Wei.
Ye Nu and his wife had obviously known about Xue Tianyi for a long time, so they were very enthusiastic, but Ye Nu returned the favor. Zhou Qinghuan directly took Xue Tianyi's hand and asked questions with a smile. The look in his eyes was clearly that of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
However, Xue Tianyi always had a gentle and warm smile on his face, which neither made people feel overly affectionate nor alienated.
Ye Nu has fair skin and handsome appearance. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his straight nose. He doesn't look like a profit-seeking businessman at all, but more like an elegant scholar.
Zhou Qinghuan was undoubtedly a stunning beauty when she was a girl. Although she is now in her early forties, time does not seem to have left many traces on her face. She still looks gentle, beautiful and full of charm. She and her daughter Ye Man
Wu stood next to each other. People who didn't know each other thought they were biological sisters. How could they have thought that they were actually mother and daughter?
Ye Manwu inherited all the good parts of her parents' figure and appearance, but that cold temperament was something she developed herself.
