Chapter 266: My Name, Your Surname

The midterm exam arrived as scheduled.

Lin Miaomiao maintained her previous performance, scoring more than 670 points out of a total of 750, ranking first in the liberal arts class in her grade, and also first in both liberal arts and science.

When Tang Yuanming told Wang Shengnan the good news, Wang Shengnan felt relieved.

"Thank God. I was afraid that after Miaomiao and Azhe got together, they would indulge in pleasure and neglect their studies."

"Sister, Miaomiao and Azhe are both sensible children, so don't worry."

Tang Yuanming persuaded her a few times: "Besides, I am Miaomiao's homeroom teacher at school. If Miaomiao has any abnormalities in her studies, I will definitely communicate with you."

"Okay then, I'll have to trouble you with Miaomiao's studies at school, Yuanming."

Wang Shengnan chatted with Tang Yuanming for a while about her daughter's performance in school, hung up the phone, and looked at the empty house, feeling a little uncomfortable.

My husband persuaded me to resign in September.

Nowadays, I have become a full-time housewife with nothing to do.

For a while, I was unable to get over the psychological issue.

Wang Shengnan could only take a rag and clean and wipe the furniture at home bit by bit, polishing it until it was shiny.

I don’t know why, but I’ve been having palpitations and tightness in my chest, and recently I’ve also been having some nausea and vomiting.

Counting the days, I realized that my period has not come for two months.

Could it be that I'm entering menopause?

More than five o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Dawei got off work early, and he and his daughter Lin Miaomiao entered the community at the same time, and then went upstairs together.

"Oh, our great hero is back."

When Wang Shengnan saw the two of them coming back, she immediately smiled and went forward to greet them, "Thank you for your hard work, Lin Miaomiao."

"How is this going?"

Lin Dawei, who thought it was someone who came to greet him, had already held out his handbag, but his wife ended up catching her daughter's schoolbag.

Wang Shengnan casually hung her husband's handbag on the wall and said with a smile, "Brother Dawei, our daughter once again ranked first in the grade in the midterm exam, both in the arts and sciences."

"Really? This is a good way to celebrate."

Lin Dawei was also very happy to hear this. No matter how glorious he was outside, it was not as glorious as his daughter.
"How about I go to the parents' meeting this time?"

"No, I'll go. I used to go to parent-teacher conferences with my head down. Now that my daughter has finally become the top student in the grade, I must dress up beautifully and earn back all the face I lost in the past."

Wang Shengnan said this and asked the father and daughter to wash their hands and prepare to eat.

"Where's Azhe? Has he not finished school yet?"

After Lin Dawei washed his hands, he was a little surprised to see that his son-in-law was not there.

Wang Shengnan quickly replied:

"Azhe called back and said he was going to attend a reception. Didn't you know?"

"Oh, this reception, I know."

Lin Dawei was reminded by his wife and suddenly remembered:
"They said they were hosting a joint inspection team from Europe. I thought it was only Mr. Yan from the company who was going to attend, but I didn't expect that Azhe would go in person."

Wang Shengnan didn't expect her man to have such a low level of awareness, and couldn't help but point at him:
"Last month, Lao Su and Lao Jiang transferred all their company shares to Azhe, and Azhe is now the richest Chinese. In the past, Lao Su and his wife avoided socializing with others under the pretext of traveling. Now that Jiangzhou officials are holding an event, Azhe will definitely not be able to avoid it."

Lin Dawei frowned when he heard this:
"The title of the richest Chinese is a bit too big. Ah Zhe is too young to carry it. You can't say that in public, it will easily cause trouble for Ah Zhe."

"That's not what I said. It's the data from the rich list that was released this month."

Wang Shengnan also knew that Su Mingzhe was so young, but he was already known as the "richest man", which would definitely arouse suspicion from outsiders.

However, now that things have come to this, we can only be more cautious in our daily lives.

"How's your house search going? Have you made any progress?"

Wang Shengnan changed the subject and started to move on to a new issue.

Now Lin Dawei is the president of Su's Robotics branch. Even if he only owns 1% of the shares, his net worth is nearly 4 billion according to external valuations.

It is somewhat inappropriate to continue living in the Sunshine Community which has few security facilities.

"I'm already looking for it. If that doesn't work, we can buy Tomson's first-class ones."

Lin Dawei speaks much more generously, which means he has money in his pocket and his words carry weight.

"Why buy Tomson Yipin? It's so expensive and the environment is messy."

Wang Shengnan looked down on Tomson Yipin a little, thinking that the environment there was too noisy. She turned around and saw the man picking up his chopsticks to eat, so she interrupted him and said:

"Brother Dawei, I went out to take a look today. There is a nice residential area near Yu Garden. The environment is elegant and there is not much noise. It is not far from Tomson Yipin. You can accompany me to take a look at it this weekend."

"Okay, the company is the only one that has no arrangements. I'll go with you on the weekend."

Lin Dawei was chatting with his wife when his daughter Lin Miaomiao came out of the bathroom. She looked listless, which made the couple feel distressed: "Miaomiao, are you feeling unwell?"

"I feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe I got an upset stomach from the barbecue I ate yesterday."

Since Lin Miaomiao started practicing Qi Jue, she has been in good health. Even when relatives come over, she no longer suffers from dysmenorrhea.

Unexpectedly, after eating some barbecue yesterday, I started to feel uncomfortable today and felt uncomfortable all day long.

"Did you have barbecue again yesterday? Did you eat anything cold?"

When Wang Shengnan heard this, she became angry:

"You silly girl, your period just ended, didn't you know? Why don't you take care of your body at all?... Balabala the Little Magic Fairy..."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing with the child. Look, her face is sweating from the pain."

Seeing his daughter's pleading eyes, Lin Dawei quickly stopped his wife from getting angry, and helped his daughter to lie down on the bed to rest.

"Lin Dawei, now you know you care about your daughter. Did you take her out for a barbecue last night?"

Wang Shengnan's fighting ability is simply not something Lin Dawei can resist.

Both father and daughter could only raise their hands and surrender. At around 8 o'clock in the evening, when Su Mingzhe came back from the reception, Lin Dawei was still being criticized by his daughter-in-law.

"Azhe is back."

Lin Dawei was overjoyed when he saw his son-in-law coming back. This was his savior:

"Did you gain anything from today's reception?"

"We have signed two orders and more than a dozen letters of intent for cooperation."

Su Mingzhe also saw that his father-in-law was suffering, and wanted to help persuade him, but after being glared at by his mother-in-law, he immediately smiled awkwardly:
"Auntie Wang, I'm going to go see Miaomiao."

"This child..."

Lin Dawei never expected that his son-in-law, whom he regarded as his savior, would abandon him without hesitation.

Su Mingzhe had no choice. In this family, Wang Shengnan was more terrifying than Lin. He didn't dare to offend his mother-in-law for the sake of his father-in-law.

When Su Mingzhe entered Miaomiao's bedroom, he saw his girlfriend still in her school uniform, lying on the bed with a pale face. He was so scared that he hurried forward to check.

After taking her pulse, I found out that this girl had her period yesterday and she ate barbecue and drank iced soda before her period was over, which led to liver fire and yin deficiency.

Constipation is only the most superficial symptom. If it is not adjusted in time, it will cause numbness and weakness in the hands and feet, dry eyes, and dizziness.

Su Mingzhe walked out of the bedroom, told Wang Shengnan the situation, and asked her to cook a pot of mung bean and lily porridge.

Mung bean and lily porridge is just right for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, and it corresponds to liver fire and yin deficiency.

After hearing this, Wang Shengnan hurried to cook porridge.

After waiting for half an hour, Lin Miaomiao drank mung bean porridge, passed gas, and went to the toilet, and her stomach felt better.

"See if you can still be greedy in the future."

Wang Shengnan felt distressed to see her daughter in so much pain, so she gave her a lecture. But when she saw that Su Mingzhe was taking good care of her, she turned around and left.

Su Mingzhe looked at the time and it was already past nine o'clock. He wanted to persuade his girlfriend to go to bed and rest, but unexpectedly she hugged him and said coquettishly:
"Honey, I still don't feel well. Can you stay tonight?"

"Okay, but I'll go talk to your parents."

Su Mingzhe also didn't want to see his girlfriend suffer, so he agreed and went out to tell Lin Dawei and Wang Shengnan that he wanted to stay and take care of his fiancée at night.

Lin Dawei and Wang Shengnan naturally would not refuse.

That night, Lin Miaomiao slept a little restlessly, kicking the quilt from time to time.

Su Mingzhe was busy all night.

The next day, Lin Miaomiao still felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

Wang Shengnan made another pot of Tremella and lily porridge.

Su Mingzhe fed his girlfriend the drink, and she slowly regained some energy.

"Can Miaomiao still go to school?"

Wang Shengnan really played the role of a strict mother to the fullest. When she saw that her daughter could walk, she was about to call her brother-in-law Tang Yuanming, but she hung up.

"Auntie Wang, let Miaomiao take a day off."

The mother-in-law may not feel sorry for her daughter-in-law, but you must feel sorry for her.

Su Mingzhe looked at his girlfriend and saw that she still looked a little sleepy and weak. It was obvious that she did not sleep well last night. Naturally, he was reluctant to let her go to school.

"Okay, let's take a day off then."

Wang Shengnan had no choice but to call her brother-in-law Tang Yuanming again and ask for a day off for her daughter.

Su Mingzhe also called his teacher and asked for a day off so that he could accompany his girlfriend today.

Lin Miaomiao didn't expect that she would be entitled to a day off just because she was sick, and at the same time, let her boyfriend accompany her for a day.

Although she felt this was not a good thing, Lin Miaomiao still thought to herself that if she had known she would be treated like this, she would have gotten sick a long time ago.

Seeing that Su Mingzhe was accompanying her daughter, Wang Shengnan decided not to stay at home and be an eyesore, so she packed up her things and went back to her parents' home.

As soon as Wang Shengnan left, Lin Miaomiao snuggled in her boyfriend's arms and asked him what gift he gave her for her 18th birthday.

In the first half of the year, Su Mingzhe asked Lin Miaomiao for his 18th birthday gift, but Lin Miaomiao gave herself as a gift.

In a few days, it will be Lin Miaomiao's birthday. If Su Mingzhe doesn't prepare a surprising gift for her, Lin Miaomiao will be unhappy.

"This gift cannot be given in advance."

Su Mingzhe naturally did not forget his girlfriend's eighteenth birthday, but the gift he prepared was rather special and he certainly couldn't give it to her so soon.

"I gave you your gifts in advance."

Lin Miaomiao was a little angry and felt that her boyfriend was cheating.

Su Mingzhe quickly coaxed:

"Miao Miao, I promise that I will give you a surprise on your birthday."

"Aren't you ready yet?"

Lin Miaomiao would never believe a man's excuse. She pouted and said aggrievedly:
"Are you going to fool me like I fooled you before?"

"No, I'm really ready."

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that his girlfriend still didn't believe him. He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should decrypt the gift in advance.

But Lin Miaomiao suddenly said:

"Xiao Zhezhe, actually... two years ago when you asked me for a poem as a gift, I made it for you, but I just didn't dare to give it to you."

"what?"

Su Mingzhe was stunned, wondering why this girl suddenly brought up this again.

Lin Miaomiao suddenly murmured in a low voice:
"Time is the matchmaker, the rest of my life is the betrothal gift. I will give you my name and your surname. I love you and am willing to hold your hand and grow old with you, starting from the first time we met and ending with the end of our lives."
