No one knew when Xie Changyu had come over. He gently tugged one of Xie Tangning’s ears.
“Well, well, Xie Tangning! I told you that you couldn’t be trusted with money! Big Brother didn’t believe me and insisted on spoiling you, raising your allowance every few days!”
“Did you plan to bribe the household staff into doing your summer homework for you if this guy refused?”
Xie Tangning’s eyes darted around. She was obviously feeling guilty.
“Oh, so you really were thinking that? I’m telling Big Brother when we get back, and he’s going to cut your allowance way down!”
This time, Xie Tangning was the one wearing a mask of pain.
She clasped her hands together and looked at him pitifully. “Please, Second Brother, let me off just this once!”
“I was only joking around with Monkey Bro! As a model student, how could I possibly ask someone else to do my summer homework for me?”
Xie Changyu released her ear and spoke righteously. “Then bribe me!”
“Make me happy, and I’ll let you off this time!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Xie Tangning, you’re finally getting what you deserve!”
“Serves you right! The tables have turned!”
Liang Zhou was already laughing so hard that he had crouched down, clutching his stomach. Happiness really was all about comparison.
Xie Tangning: Not happy!
After standing back up, Liang Zhou wiped away the tears of laughter from his eyes and patted Xie Tangning on the shoulder.
“Just obediently do your summer homework with me!”
“One pen, one night—we’ll work a miracle. We can do this, Xie Tangning! Come on!”
Xie Tangning: “…”
Her hands were itching. She wanted to beat him to death!
As a qualified underling, Wu Dacheng also patted his boss on the shoulder. “It’s okay, Boss. I haven’t finished my summer homework either!”
Xie Tangning gave him a resentful look. “Didn’t you say there was no summer homework where you came from?”
Wu Dacheng immediately looked enlightened. “Oh, right~ I don’t have summer homework!”
“Boss, you’re so pitiful. You have to go back and do homework after coming out here to work!”
Xie Tangning: Ծ‸Ծ
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Xie Xiaoning, you can’t keep this underling. You’d better get a new one!”
Xie Changyu laughed so hard he was practically falling apart. He draped an arm over Xie Tangning’s shoulders to keep his balance. His little sister’s misfortune really was the funniest thing in the world.
“What a coincidence. I don’t have summer homework either, and I haven’t had summer homework for many years!”
Xie Tangning took a deep breath, trying not to let her jealousy get the better of her.
After taking deep breaths for quite a while, she nearly ran out of air from sheer anger and finally broke down.
“I’m going to beat both of you to death!”
“This is outrageous! Why don’t elementary school graduates and university graduates have summer homework?”
“That makes no sense at all! Graduation is the perfect time to inspect the results of your studies. They should be assigning two tons of homework to test us!”
The two people without summer homework turned and ran for their lives. Xie Tangning immediately chased after them.
Also breaking down and joining the chase was Liang Zhou, who was drowning in a mountain of unfinished assignments.
Wu Dacheng fled with his hands over his head, begging for mercy. “I’m sorry, Boss! Please let me go! I really didn’t mean to!”
“Monkey Bro, stop butting in! This is between my boss and me!”
Liang Zhou twisted his face into a grimace. “I’m suffering, so you’re not allowed to have it easy either!”
“Go, Xie Tangning! If you have an underling like this and don’t give him a complete childhood, you’ll regret it!”
Relying on his long legs, Xie Changyu ran incredibly fast. After putting some distance between himself and the others, he turned around and taunted them shamelessly.
“Hey~ What’s the matter~ I just don’t have summer homework!”
“Jealous? Too bad! There’s nothing you can do about it!”
Xie Tangning was so furious that her little legs moved even faster. With a whoosh, she shot forward, quickly overtook Wu Dacheng, and headed straight for Xie Changyu.
It wasn’t long before everyone heard Xie Changyu let out a squeal like a pig. Clearly, Xie Tangning’s short little legs had come out on top.
Su Xiaoye and Xie Wanwan had finished their summer homework long ago.
They quietly watched the two homework-stricken sufferers completely lose their minds and break down, falling into deep contemplation once again.
As well-behaved students, the two of them really couldn’t understand how anyone could deliberately put off their summer homework until the very last day.
They didn’t understand it, but they respected it!
Seeing that Liang Zhou still hadn’t caught Wu Dacheng, Wu Weixiang grew anxious and started cheering him on from behind.
“Monkey Bro, are you even trying? Can’t those two useless legs move any faster?”
“You’re supposed to be such an agile Monkey, yet you can’t even catch a chubby kid! Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Wu Dacheng, who had been running wildly, suddenly came to a stop when he heard that. He turned around and stared at his dear father in disbelief.
Because of that sudden stop, Liang Zhou nearly crashed into him. He slammed on the brakes and began cursing.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“If I’d reacted even a little slower, you would’ve crashed into me and landed face-first! You know that?”
Wu Dacheng temporarily had no time to deal with his dear friend. He stared unblinkingly at Wu Weixiang.
“Dad, are you serious?”
“I’m your biological son, right? You didn’t pick me up from a garbage dump, did you?!”
Faced with his son’s accusations and questioning, Wu Weixiang selectively pretended not to hear him.
“Monkey Bro, what are you standing around for?”
“He’s right in front of you! Go! Give him a complete childhood. It’s your duty as a good friend!”
Wu Dacheng: “!!!”
Liang Zhou: “…”
Confirmed. This father and son really were biologically related.
Because if they weren’t, there was no way they would be treated like this!
Liang Zhou sighed, turned around, and patted the little fatty on the shoulder. He spoke earnestly.
“You’ll get used to it!”
“Since you’re in such a miserable state, I won’t kick you while you’re down!”
“I’ll let you off for now. You may take your leave!”
Sigh… They were both victims of the same cruel fate!
If Liang Zhou hadn’t been Ms. Liang’s biological nephew, she wouldn’t have tormented him every day as if he were her mortal enemy!
Seeing how useless the kid was, Wu Weixiang was deeply disappointed.
“I gave you a chance, and you still couldn’t make good use of it!”
Although he knew perfectly well what kind of person his father was, knowing about it and experiencing it firsthand were two different things.
The little fatty flew into a rage and started charging toward his father, determined to demand an explanation.
“You fake dad! Let’s fight!”
Shen Hao, who had been genuinely enjoying the trip from beginning to end, looked at the siblings still fighting over there, then at the father and son inexplicably fighting over here.
“???”
What was wrong with these people?!
They had such beautiful natural scenery in front of them, yet instead of appreciating it, they had come here to fight?
Did that Old Demon Pill, Director Zhang, even remember what his show was supposed to be about? Wasn’t he going to do something about this?
And what was our Director Zhang doing?
He was grinning broadly as he watched the spectacle with great interest. He had even started betting with his assistant on who would win.
The deputy director closed his eyes beside him, as if once again questioning his life choices.
In the end, he really couldn’t stand watching anymore, so he picked up his little megaphone and shouted, “Hey, all you little and big friends over there!”
“Stop fighting! Seriously, stop! You’re not going to kill each other like this!”
The deputy director’s words were remarkably effective. The four-person brawl finally came to a halt.
Though they had stopped, Xie Tangning was currently clutching Xie Changyu by the hair, while Xie Changyu still had one hand hooked around his sister’s ear.
They instinctively assumed that the assistant director was about to announce a new task, so they stayed in their fighting stances and looked at him, their eyes seemingly asking, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say there were no more tasks?”
The father and son on the other side weren’t doing much better. Wu Dacheng clung stubbornly to his father’s backpack.
But he was shorter, forcing Wu Weixiang to bend over as he was tugged along. Father and son both looked at the assistant director with the same bewildered expression.
It was as if they were asking, “That bastard Director Zhang went back on his word and started handing out those thunderous tasks again?!”
