"Brother, you're finally back!"

As soon as Xu Ran entered the house, the little sister pounced on Xu Ran like a homecoming milk swallow and pulled Xu Ran's arm: "I went to so many places, did you bring me a gift?"

"Tingting, don't mess around, your brother came back from such a business trip for so many days, let him take a break!"

The aunt who was cooking in the kitchen came out and scolded Zhou Ting after hearing the sound.

Xu Ran didn't feel tired, and after giving her little sister a nose scraper, she went to take a bath.

When I came out of the shower, I saw that my aunt had already cooked the meal, so Xu Ran went over and helped bring the dishes up, which was quite hearty, and there were even broth buns, all of which Xu Ran loved to eat.

The little sister was already sitting at the table and eating secretly, Xu Ran smiled and said, "Little sister, why are you so happy?"

At this time, my aunt brought out the last soup, and only after sitting down did she smile: "It's not that the midterm exam results have come down, 710 points, and she has been the first in the class, you see how proud she is!"

"Yo, first yo, yes, no wonder you dare to blatantly ask for gifts!"

Saying that, Xu Ran said again: "The learning competition in Xiacheng No. 1 Middle School is very fierce, and I took the first place in the class, so how many places are there in the whole grade?"

The elder brother didn't open the pot and mentioned the pot, the little sister was like being splashed with a basin of cold water, and she couldn't help but pout, looking a little dissatisfied.

My aunt said with a smile: "Although their class is also a top class, their comprehensive strength is in the middle, in terms of grade ranking, Tingting's current ranking is sixth, and there are a few more powerful students than her in front of her!"

After speaking, my aunt signaled that it was time to start, and sandwiched a chicken leg into Xu Ran's bowl.

Xu Ran took two bites of chicken legs, and then asked: "There is only one semester left to take the college entrance examination, if my little sister's grades remain stable, it is estimated that Yan University and Tsinghua University should be fine, little sister, which one have you decided to apply for?"

"Oh, why do you ask me which university I plan to apply for, really, I met everyone who asked that!"

Xu Ran said: "Brother doesn't interfere with which school you apply for, I just want to know what you think, which university you want to study, and my brother supports you!"

The little sister said weakly: "Brother, I don't want to go to Qinghua, I want to be admitted to Fudan University!"

Xu Ran was slightly surprised, and after knowing her sister's choice intention, she didn't ask again, but continued to eat.

However, after my aunt heard about this school, she thought that this university was in Shencheng, so she couldn't help frowning: "Tingting, how did you choose this university, Qinghua is ranked first in the comprehensive ranking, you said before that you went to Qinghua, you should be able to be admitted with your grades?"

Xiaomei glanced at Xu Ran before saying: "According to my analysis, Fudan's International School of Finance is the best among the economics majors, ranking first in terms of professional strength, and Qinghua is ranked third......"

My aunt said in a deep voice, "How did you change your mind, say?"

Xu Ran was a little surprised, her aunt never spoke to Xiaomei's tone, what happened today.

Xiaomei was also frightened, and said a little apprehensively: "A few guys in the school dormitory always tell me that my brother is now known as the richest man in Xia Province, and it is estimated that he will soon become the richest man in the country.

And the way they look at me is a little weird, recently even the teacher in the class has begun to curry favor with me, I was very troubled, so I talked to Sister Wei Wei.

Sister Wei Wei told me that my current identity has changed because of my brother, and I must adapt as soon as possible, otherwise as my brother's fame and influence become greater and his status increases, there will be many villains around me, who will corrupt my will and induce me to use me, so as to try to gain benefits from my brother, otherwise I will not be able to be quiet wherever I go.

At that time, Sister Wei Wei told me that the capital is a place where things are wrong, there are many second generations of schools, the atmosphere is too serious, and the pressure is too great, if I want to apply for an economics major, the university in Shencheng is the most suitable, and I myself want to apply for a finance major, just hoping to help my brother after graduation, so after discussing with Sister Wei Wei, I changed my mind and decided to apply for the School of International Finance of Fudan University......

After hearing my sister's explanation, my aunt's expression softened, and said: "Tingting, Mom is just a little passive about your sudden change of mind, I'm afraid that you are instigated by someone to be impulsive, if you make such a decision after careful consideration, then you want to take the Fudan exam, and Mom will support you!"

It's just that Xu Ran felt a little insincere when she heard this.

Xu Ran always felt that her aunt seemed to have a vague resistance to her little sister going to college in Shencheng, but she didn't know where the reason was.

Could it be because the Zhou family is in Shencheng?

But now that the little sister was present, Xu Ran didn't ask these questions.

After the meal was finished and the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up, the little sister went to the room to review her homework.

My aunt was washing dishes in the kitchen.

Xu Ran walked to the kitchen and closed the door and said, "Auntie, my little sister suddenly wants to go to Shencheng to go to college, I think you seem to have some resistance in your heart, is it because of the Zhou family?"

My aunt's action of washing the dishes was sluggish.

After being silent, my aunt wiped her hands with a rag before she said: "A few days ago, the uncle and his wife of the Zhou family came again, and they talked to me about letting Tingting recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, but I didn't agree.

Among them, I always feel that since you were exposed, your fame has become bigger and bigger, and it is known all over the country, and I always suspect that they are not here for Tingting, but for you to form a relationship with you......"

Xu Ran guessed a rough idea from his aunt's words, and said, "The Zhou family wants to attach themselves to me?"

It's common sense to say that.

Just like the ancient Xiucai who was admitted to the examination and became a privileged class, there would be many peasants who came to pay their land to surrender and depend, just to avoid taxes and exempt from forced labor, not to mention the relatives of the lifting family, just being involved in this layer of kinship, can bring them great benefits and benefits.

This kind of thing is also applicable now, the so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, no matter where it is the norm.

It's just that Xu Ran's parents are both educated youths who came to Xiacheng, and his aunt was also young at the time, and she followed her brother out to avoid trouble, so there are very few relatives and friends here in Xiacheng, so naturally there is no such thing as you are developed, seven aunts and eight aunts, and the whole family of relatives come to harass you and want to take benefits from you.

Even if Xu Ran went to Pengcheng, where his ancestors were born, went to Xujiazhuang, and brought Xu Xi out from the Xu family to follow him, it was Xu Ran's impression of the Pengcheng Xu family was not bad, and he was willing to give Pengcheng and the Xu family a chance.

So now that Xu Ran heard his aunt say this, he felt that the Zhou family was still coming to Xiacheng to talk to his aunt about letting his little sister recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors when he was away, and most of them couldn't escape this routine.

My aunt felt that although the Zhou family did not reveal any ideas related to Xu Ran, their approach was still relatively suspicious, so she acquiesced to Xu Ran's conjecture.

She was well aware of Xu Ran's dislike for the Zhou family.

Although Xu Yueying still has some bitterness about the Zhou family in her heart, after all, many years have passed, and she is no longer living a hard life, so the resentment in her heart has naturally been reduced a lot.

When it comes to the affairs of the Zhou family, although she can make decisions for Tingting, she still can't avoid Xu Ran.

After all, now their mother and daughter are relying on this nephew to live, not the Zhou family who is far away in Shencheng, no matter who is closer, she will not mind Tingting changing her surname to Xu.
