Chapter 67: What Kind Of Things Are You Into? (1)
Due to Zhang Beiyu's disturbance, the rest of them no longer had any interest in continuing with their revelry, so they prepared to head home.
Xuya sent Zhao Chengning back home after dropping the Shen siblings off at their hotel.
Old Master Zhao was already sitting in the living room when Zhao Chengning reached home. What was surprising though was that even his parents were present.
Just like x.x.x, Zhao Chengning's parents were rarely at home. This was possibly one of the woes of being rich.
"You're back already? Why're you back so early? You didn't even mention when you'd be back."
Zhao Chengning paused in the midst of changing to his indoor footwear, feeling a little helpless. He always had to put up with his Grandfather's nagging whenever he missed out on dinner because he had to work overtime and come home a little later.
Was this the so called difference in treatment?
"Granddad, the Shen siblings were feeling tired after sitting on the plane for the entire day."
"True, true. In that case, pick them up a little earlier tomorrow. We'll have dinner together when you're back in the evening."
Zhao Chengning's Father was very curious about the Shen siblings his Grandfather spoke of. "Chengning, why'd they come over to B City?"
Zhao Chengning walked over to the sofa and sat down before replying. "Shen Jingchen got past the qualifiers for B University's calculator programming compet.i.tion."
B University was one of the nation's most prestigious universities. And, calculator programming was B University's strongest selling point.
"Not bad."
Old Master Zhao acted as if he were showing off a valuable piece of treasure and said, "It's better than 'not bad'. That brat from the Shen family studies finance. Everything that he's achieved thus far in programming has all been self-taught."
"Then what about the girl from the Shen family?" Zhao Chengning's Father enquired.
Zhao Chengning's Mother interjected without giving him the chance to reply. "That's enough. Things haven't even begun to take shape yet. How do all of you know whether the Shen family is willing to hand over their daughter to us? In my opinion, Cishu is more suitable for him."
Cishu was the daughter of the Jian family, whom the Zhao family had been friends with for a long time and was also Zhao Chengning's junior. The Jian family had long since expressed their intention to tie the two families together by marriage, but Old Master Zhao and Zhao Chengning's Father weren't willing to accede to their request, so the matter was dropped.
