Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Please Scout Ahead First

That day, Yue Jiannan bought some stylish ready-made furniture according to his own taste and had it delivered to the neighborhood.

As dusk fell, the two of them took the bus back home.

No sooner had he arrived home than Yue Jiannan started to gossip in front of his mother about the little one.

"Mom, you have no idea, this girl insisted on buying those worthless old pieces of furniture. Don’t scold me when you see the stuff, okay? It was all your precious granddaughter who insisted on burning through money."

He looked exactly like a treacherous court official from a TV drama.

Lin Chunju raised an eyebrow and asked, "Describe the furniture to me again, what did it look like?"

"Well, the styles were pretty out-of-date, not really to my taste, so I put them all in your room."

Lin Chunju said with annoyance, "I’m asking you about the type of wood."

Yue Jiannan didn’t know much about it, "It’s somewhat purplish, the surface is pretty smooth, and there are some curved patterns."

Having come from a wealthy background, Lin Chunju muttered to herself upon hearing this description.

"Could it be rosewood..."

An inch of rosewood, an inch of gold—it probably wasn’t such a coincidence.

Yue Jiannan didn’t catch what she said clearly, "What?"

"Nothing, I was saying you’ve really regressed. A grown man like you still running to me to tattle on your little niece, aren’t you ashamed?"

Yue Jiannan’s face flushed red from the scolding, and he felt somewhat indignant.

He failed to shift the blame and instead had it come crashing down on his own head.

Feeling wronged, he still felt the need to justify himself.

"I’m just reporting the situation."

"Alright, you’ve reported, now go take a shower. You’re reeking of sweat; it’s suffocating," replied Lin Chunju dismissively, waving her hand as if to ward off the smell, which caused Yue Jiannan to hold back tears in his eyes.

Qingqing is your own flesh and blood, and I must be someone you picked up from the side of a rice paddy.

But there was no helping it, life had to go on.

The next day, Yue Jiannan brought another young helper along with Yue Xiaohu to the city.

He returned home so exhausted that he didn’t even have time for a bath before collapsing into bed.

Boys of that age are incredibly curious and active. Yue Xiaohu had done little real work and instead dragged Yue Jiannan all over the place.

At that moment, Yue Jiannan truly appreciated the value of Yue Qingqing.

Having a child who didn’t cause worry was indeed too precious.

To avoid further trouble, Yue Jiannan simply ran errands alone thereafter.

He heard that progress was going well; in any case, it took him a week to get the house reasonably furnished.

Only a few electrical appliances were left to deal with. His elder brother had special channels and could buy some cheap electronics from scalpers.

Yue Jiannan no longer needed to worry about these.

After busying himself with all this, Yue Jiannan hadn’t even had the time to rest when, just like all the students around the world, he discovered a depressing fact.

School was about to start!

The university that accepted Yue Jiannan was in Linguang City, above Zhuancheng in Linguang Province.

Located in Linguang City, the school was quite a prestigious comprehensive university in the country.

It was only at the farewell dinner that Yue Jiannan learned he had narrowly made the cut.

He scored just two points above the admission cut-off, meaning one wrong choice on the test would have cost him his spot.

This left him feeling both frightened and relieved.

Since the journey to school wasn’t far and he could get there directly by bus from the city, Yue Jiannan didn’t need to leave early. He only started packing his luggage a week before school started.

Because the school was close by and there was no particular sentimentality at home, his mother didn’t even give him much of a talking-to.

Only Yue Qingqing looked up at him, hesitating and holding back words.

Although he had ratted her out before, Yue Jiannan was very fond of his little niece at heart.

He touched her head kindly and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Uncle, when you have time, I’ll get dad to take me to see you," said Qingqing.

Yue Jiannan felt a surge of emotion, realizing he still mattered a great deal to her.

"I’ve heard there’s a lot of delicious food in Linguang City. Can you scout it out for me first, and take me there to eat, please?" she asked.

The sentiment Yue Jiannan had just begun to nurture instantly dissipated.

So, there was really no one at home who would miss him!
