Chapter 834: Chapter 698: Liking You Since the First Glance 39
The matter ended with Jian Long’s father compensating for the loss. As they left the police station, Bo Qin looked at the father and son duo who appeared like defeated dogs, "Next time, if Jian Dan comes back and the Jian Family makes things difficult for him again..."
Before he could finish, the father and son duo quickly shook their heads and waved their hands, "No more, no more, we won’t dare to next time."
After Bo Qin and Zhou Yao left, Jian Long’s father slapped him on the forehead, "You unfilial son, look at the mess you’ve caused."
Jian Long didn’t dare to argue because the more he spoke, the worse it got, and his father wasn’t likely to show him any sympathy, so he kept his mouth shut.

Speaking of Jian Dan and his friends, they were having so much fun vacationing in Haicheng that they didn’t want to return. With Meng Xue’s hosting, they roamed joyfully around Haicheng. The little rich girl Zhao Linlin and Mi Lu spent money freely, and since Zhao Linlin had performed outstandingly in her exams, she received many rewards from her family. The rewards were generous — just money. Each person in their family received money, and she had millions in reward money; she felt it deserved to be spent.
With her newfound wealth, she spoke with much more confidence.
Meng Xue stayed to play for a week before returning to work. Before leaving, she was really reluctant to part with these young girls. Although she was several years older than them, there was no generation gap at all when they got along, and it was quite a delightful experience.
Jian Dan was responsible for bridging the connections, and Meng Xue gained some insight into how the girls could build such deep friendships.
It’s really wonderful; the sisterhood formed during school days is truly rare.
Even when Meng Xue began working, she would meet them for dinner after work if she had the time, and she was usually the one treating. Meng Xue had won a sum of money from Zhou Yao, so she was in high spirits.
They kept having fun until they received news from school about the arrival of acceptance letters, having uniformly filled in the school’s address for delivery,
and the homeroom teacher called to share the good news.
They planned to set off back home that evening and arranged to have a farewell dinner with Meng Xue. Upon hearing they were leaving, Meng Xue felt like her mental sustenance was being taken away.
She clung to Jian Dan and Mi Lu, reluctant to let go, "All of you are leaving, I’ll be so bored here alone."
Lai Wei unceremoniously teased her, "Sister Meng Xue, you’re going to take over as Assistant to President Zhou, you can’t be this decadent."
Meng Xue sighed deeply; merely mentioning Zhou Yao gave her a headache.
This person was definitely the stumbling block in her life.
After having dinner together, Meng Xue sent them to the airport. As they parted at the airport, Meng Xue looked at Jian Dan and said, "Don’t be too stubborn, you’re so excellent, what are you worried about?"
Jian Dan hugged her and smiled, "I know, Sister Xue, you should head back."
"You guys should come over to visit me in the future too."
"Goodbye, Sister Xue."
"Goodbye."
...
In late July, the college entrance exam results were announced, and Lai Wei became the top scorer with a total of 750 points. Lai Wei claimed first place in the science category with 741 points.
Imperial University Affiliated High School consistently secured the championship in the capital, which was no surprise to many. The unexpected part was Lai Wei’s total score this time. Jian Dan didn’t do poorly either, securing third place in science with a total score of 733, while second place went to a student from Diwai High School with a total score of 736 points.
Thus, the top three in the capital’s science category all achieved excellent results.
Meanwhile, Mi Lu and Zhao Linlin, with scores of 700 and 690 respectively, ranked within the top twenty.
When Zhao Linlin held her report card, all she could think was how much money this equated to.
Zhao Linlin wrapped her arm around Jian Dan’s neck, "Little Jian Dan, I’m treating tomorrow. Let’s go have a delicious meal; I’m going home now to claim my money with this report card."
As they watched her rushing off, Lai Wei shook her head in amusement, "That girl is really crazy about money."
Jian Dan laughed, "Linlin likes money, it’s such a simple hobby."
Mi Lu nodded in agreement, "Yes, it really is, very simple."
Jian Dan looked at the report card in Lai Wei’s hand, "You should go back and show your mom; she’ll be very happy. Weiwei, are you planning to study somewhere nearby and attend Imperial University?"
Lai Wei stared at Jian Dan for a moment and nodded, "Yes, my mom’s health isn’t good, and Imperial University is very close to home, so it’s convenient for me to take care of her.
Plus, I can’t be too far from home, my mom would worry."
Children raised in single-parent families often find that as they grow up, their mothers become particularly dependent on them. Lai Wei’s mom is like this, and with her poor health, she increasingly hopes her daughter can stay by her side and accompany her.
Jian Dan understood, and Mi Lu understood too. Mi Lu looked at Jian Dan and asked, "And what about you, Jian Dan, where do you plan to apply?"
