Chapter 1058 - Family Relations

"Mom, don’t say that. You’re the greatest mother. Rest assured, I will work hard and I definitely won’t let you down.""Wanjun, thank goodness for that classmate of yours today. You really worried me sick. By the way, where is that classmate of yours? I think I just heard his voice." Chu Wanjun’s mother was still very grateful to Su Xuan. Had it not been for Su Xuan’s help, she wouldn’t have known what to do.

"He’s already gone back."

Watching the direction Su Xuan left, Chu Wanjun felt inexplicably touched. This young man really is different from many others. At first, Chu Wanjun thought Su Xuan approached her with ulterior motives, but gradually she realized Su Xuan approached her entirely out of a sense of guilt. Actually, Su Xuan helped her purely as a way to make amends for what he did yesterday.

"He’s gone, you child, how could you be so inconsiderate? You should have invited him to come sit for a while. I must say, this classmate of yours is the most agreeable one I’ve seen; those other male classmates before all seemed like bad news just at first glance."

"Um, mom, how did you figure that out? I didn’t see it." Chu Wanjun asked curiously, thinking that her mom could read faces or something.

"Stop being cheeky, I’m telling you the truth. Oh, by the way, what’s this classmate’s family background like, and does he have a girlfriend?"

"..." Chu Wanjun was speechless, thinking to herself that her mom was pretty much trying to marry her off. That really surprised Chu Wanjun; honestly, she never thought her mom would think so highly of Su Xuan, which was beyond her expectations.

After Su Xuan left, he leisurely rode his bike heading towards Shen Ruoqiu’s house. As he passed by the school gate, he saw those barbecue stalls bustling and setting up.

In fact, the real business for barbecue was in the evening. At Sunnan University, very few people like him were day students; most lived on campus. So actually, the barbecue at the school gate was most lucrative in the evening. Su Xuan saw that Chu Wanjun’s mother’s spot had already been taken by someone else, and he was frustrated. How did the school gate become Nangong Bowen’s territory? Even if the school received funding from their family, it didn’t mean it belonged to them, right?

"Boss, Boss, over here!" At this moment, Su Xuan heard someone calling him. Following the voice, he saw it was Student Xiaopang. Xiaopang, who stayed on campus, was sitting at a table eating barbecue with Xiong Lin and Xiong Yingjun.

Su Xuan approached the barbecue stall and said with a smile,

"Hey Xiaopang, making progress, huh?" Su Xuan, without any filter, uttered this unbeatable line. As soon as he said it, Wang Xiaopang blushed instantly, thinking, "Dude, can you not say that? I know you’re straightforward, but could you be a bit more subtle? I’ve just managed to win over the beauty’s heart."

"Su Xuan, aren’t you a day student? Why are you out so late?"

Seeing Su Xuan, Xiong Lin smiled and asked.

"Just bored and came out for a walk. Xiong Lin, do you live on campus too?" Su Xuan asked curiously. He wasn’t sure if Xiong Lin or Zhu Xiao were day students. Seeing Xiong Lin made Su Xuan feel quite emotional. Actually, Xiong Lin was a great beauty and quite hard to get close to.

"Xiaopang, what’s up with this barbecue stall?" Su Xuan asked curiously, believing that Xiaopang, known as the knowledgeable, would definitely know something.

"Stall, bro, are you thinking of coming over to make a fortune too? It’s a method to get rich, you know."

Student Xiaopang asked excitedly, while Su Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said,

"I’m not that hungry. Besides, do you think I need that kind of method to get rich?"

Su Xuan, acting like a rich young master, thought confidently.

"Actually, the barbecue stalls at the school gate were originally illegal. Setting up barbecue there somehow damages the school’s image. But now, things have changed, and they can be set up. Initially, these small vendors set up stalls just to give a symbolic payment to the school and had to keep the place clean. At that time, they set up stalls discreetly under the radar."

Xiaopang explained quietly.

"In the beginning, there were only one or two families setting up barbecues. Oh, I remember the civilian school beauty’s mother was among the early ones, although she started by selling sesame cakes here at two specific times every day. Eventually, perhaps out of jealousy, others noticed the business was particularly good, and university students had some money. As a result, more and more business sprang up. And you know, a single woman can hardly hold her ground; the school beauty’s mother was soon squeezed out."

"So this isn’t really Nangong Bowen’s territory, is it? Why wouldn’t he let people set up their stalls then?" Su Xuan was frustrated. After listening to Xiaopang ramble for so long, it seemed he didn’t mention whose place this actually was. Why claim it was Nangong Bowen’s territory, and just because he allowed stalls to be set does it mean nobody else can set up there?

"It’s actually quite simple. Because Nangong Bowen and Ji Qianxun are relatives, Bowen calls Qianxun his cousin. You should get it now, right?" Student Xiaopang explained quietly. At this point, Su Xuan realized that plump woman Ji Qianxun was there, too. He felt speechless, thinking they’d burn off the calories from daytime exercise and undo it all eating here at night.

"I got it. Damn, so at the end of the day, it’s all about connections, huh? Everything nowadays is about connections," Su Xuan complained inwardly, knowing there wasn’t much he could do. Boss still ruled the school, and if he didn’t let people set up stalls, there was nothing you could do.

At this moment, Ji Qianxun saw Su Xuan, stood up, and walked over. When she reached Su Xuan, he curiously looked at Ji Qianxun’s burly figure, finding it greasy, and then looked at Xiong Lin. Suddenly he had the feeling that seeing Ji Qianxun was like seeing a piece of fatty meat, overly greasy; seeing Xiong Lin was like seeing lean meat, much more appetizing in an instant.

"Beauty Ji, is there something you need from me?"

Su Xuan wondered if she wanted to start a quarrel with him. Su Xuan didn’t mind having a spat again, as Student Su was known for being good at fighting, even better at arguing.
