Chapter 538: Chapter 538: You two add up to 250

"Are you going to tell me yourself, or do you want me to ask you?" Chen Lijun teased the child, her face smiling but her voice tense.

"I, I, um, Mom, actually, I have a dream."

"You little—" Chen Lijun raised her hand to slap her, but her wrist was seized.

Bobo hugged her arm, and Luoluo immediately lay in her arms, like two obedient cubs.

Even phenomenal anger could not be vented in front of the children. She wanted to take the children to another room, but when her eyes fell on them, as if they were covered with glue, she automatically stuck to them.

"How can kids be this cute... and yet be born from someone as troublesome as you!"

The more she adored her grandchildren, the more she despised her daughter.

"Back then, you praised me too, but times change. After all, I’ve become part of yesterday’s stars and yesterday’s wind, sigh." Suizi feigned sadness, shaking her head.

"Don’t flatter yourself. Do you have two children as cute as mine?"

"Why not? Mom, I miss you too." Suizi mimicked the children, tapping her chest.

Chen Lijun rubbed her arm, exclaiming, "Stop with the mawkishness! It’s giving me goosebumps!"

"Hahaha!" Yu Jingting was delighted, "These are all lines my mother used to say to me, Suizi, it’s finally your turn now?"

"Stop making light of this! She’s careless and capricious, and you let her be? Go out and see, how many young people can be like her, able to become principal at this age?"

And being the principal, was just the first step Chen Lijun had planned for her daughter.

After a few years of grassroots training, it was about time for her to be moved to Chen Lijun’s position, Fan Huang had expressed more than once that Suizi and Yu Jingting were the most talented young people he had seen. Given enough time, they would soar high into the sky.

But this little rabbit’s "I still have a dream" had strangled Chen Lijun’s plans in the cradle.

"Dreams, such childish things, it’s passable when used in an elementary school essay, but you’re an adult! Have you gone crazy lecturing in the Literacy Class? Has your IQ degenerated? Brain flooded and cerebellum shrunk?"

Chen Lijun’s rage grew as she spoke, she hadn’t been this angry in a long time.

She was always the one getting mad at others. According to Fan Huang, she was a scourge, causing trouble for those around her and increasing Fan Huang’s troubles.

But no matter how difficult she made things, facing her stubborn daughter, she still felt bothered.

"Mom, listen to what you’re saying, if I had water in my brain, could I produce such good children? Look down, what is your granddaughter looking at you with?"

Chen Lijun looked down, and Luoluo gave her a radiant smile, even making a flying kiss.

Suizi thought to herself, Enemy Leader’s Anger Level -100

"What does having a cute child have to do with having water in your brain?"

"Hey, Mom, don’t always say that Suizi has water in her brain, I mean, I—Uh."

Yu Jingting’s stomach was jabbed hard with Suizi’s elbow. If he dared to say "letting out water," she would fight him head-on!

In front of the children and elders, such shameless words, would he dare say?

"Your verbal resignation is invalid, after the New Year you work dutifully. Whether you want to be the principal or not, you have to be! As for further studies, take part in some in-service training, it won’t affect your academic qualifications or professional title in your records. Why do you need to go to school for three years?"

With a commanding tone, Chen Lijun told Suizi, clearly not wanting to continue discussing this matter.

She had already made the decision for Suizi.

"This current principal became the principal when he was almost fifty. I’m only in my twenties. If I were to really become the principal, what would you call that?"

"Are people whispering things into your ear? You don’t have to care about them. Mediocrity is not subject to jealousy. High standing individuals always live amidst controversy. If you listen to them, you might as well not live."

"We don’t need others to tell us, we know it in our hearts. I admit that I am capable, just like Jingting. We are both very excellent people, we don’t have to care what others say."

Chen Lijun let out a snort.

"You really aren’t humble." Although, she also felt what Suizi said was true.

Suizi’s smile was slightly proud.

Actually, when Fan Huang came this time, he also told Suizi a little, saying that Chen Lijun had always been proud of having such children as her and Yu Jingting.

Her daughter was fantastic, and her son-in-law added luster. Based on the ability these two children show now, they can be proud of their peers.

Suizi always thought her mother didn’t like her and she rarely heard her mother compliment her directly. When she heard Fan Huang say this, she was deeply moved.

Fan Huang told Chen Lijun that the children of the Fan family were also arranged to gain experience in various places, but compared with the overall strength of Suizi and her husband, they still fell short. He knew Chen Lijun well. He never exaggerated, and he wouldn’t talk nonsense to please Chen Lijun. If he said they were strong, they were definitely strong.

"Mom, I know you mean well, but there’s a saying I like: stormy winds reveal the toughness of grass, true gold needs to be smelted repeatedly. Only after being cut can a diamond shine brightly."

"Are you saying you’re afraid that taking the easy route would backfire because of power?" Chen Lijun asked.

If that’s the case, she could only say that Suizi had read too many books. Look at those aristocratic children, which of them hasn’t been nurtured from a young age?

The ones who were hit back by power were usually mediocrities. The real talents would never be seen by ordinary people, and they wouldn’t be written about in books.

"No, I feel that Jingting and I, even if we took the easy route, we could still achieve impressive results. At least, we would be above the excellent line. We can rely on ourselves, so why rely on our family?"

"Right, we must be excellent. Humbleness is an essential part of excellence. I think both of us together could score 200 points, full score." In terms of boasting, Yu Jingting was very accomplished.

"You two together are fools!" Chen Lijun was triggered by their boast, "If you’re so confident, why don’t you continue?"

"Jingting and I both have dreams, and we are confident that we can achieve them step by step. The path of an official is your dream, but, it’s not mine."

The last sentence was quite damaging.

Chen Lijun let out a cold laugh and said good three times.

"Consider my good intentions as mule lungs, I understand your belated rebellion now."

These words made Suizi’s heart pound. She had been secretly preparing for this conversation for a long time. As a timid person, facing her childhood nightmare, her big boss mother, she could only put on a brave front. She was really afraid.

"Mom, Suizi didn’t mean that." Yu Jingting stood up to protect his little sweetheart.

This couple wanted to play good cop, bad cop, Chen Lijun laughed out of rage. Seeing her laugh, Suizi clenched Yu Jingting’s sleeve, feeling that her mother was about to use a big move.

"So you want to study, right? Okay, but, I have a condition."
