Chapter 262: Chapter 261 the game was not peaceful

Author: Qian Feifei Machine Translation

Meanwhile, on their way home, Mu Ziyu's uncle and aunt began to discuss what to do next. "Hubby, what should we do? I heard that Murong Xi likes Mu Ziyu very much. We've been assuring them that Ziyu doesn't have a girlfriend. Now that it turns out he does have a girlfriend, will they think that we're lying? That can't be good."

"How could we have known that Ziyu had a girlfriend? At the dining table, Murong had asked about Ziyu's girlfriend. Don't you remember how your sister-in-law came to her defense?" he answered in a frustrated tone. Their deal with the Murong family had not been settled yet. The contract could have been signed right away if Murong Xi had been matched with Mu Ziyu. If it dragged on, it would be disadvantageous to their company. They could not proceed because they were unsure how to go about the matter, and they had to be cautious because the Murong family was upset about it.

"Then what do you think we should do? Our company is not affiliated with your brother's company, and they would not allow us to use their children in our business dealings. And didn't you see Ziyu's attitude? He was cold and indifferent, especially towards us. He seems dissatisfied with our actions." They could not force Ziyu at all, because he was not their child.

"Forget it. Don't get involved in this. I'll talk with him. Don't talk nonsense," the uncle said to his wife.

"I know, but I plan to go more often go to your brother's house to chat with my sister-in-law. We don't even know how committed Ziyu is to his girlfriend. What kind of family is she from? Let's try to find out first." She was intent on not giving up. She also wanted her daughter to marry a good man. She did not want to let her daughters to marry an ordinary man. She didn't really care about other people.

She felt that Mu Ziyu was too insensible in not choosing Murong Xi instead. She felt that he would regret it when he got older. "Actually, Murong Xi is an eligible bachelorette. She's beautiful and comes from a good family. I don't know what else Ziyu wants."

Mu Ziyu's mother was very displeased with her sister-in-law. She came from a small family and was full of a petty air. By the way she dressed, anyone could tell that she was a nouveau riche. Her own brother had said that before, but she didn't really pay attention at that time. She felt that they were really shameless for using her son in their business affairs.

Murong Xi had already fallen in love with Mu Ziyu. She was sad for a few days, but she secretly decided that she wouldn't give up. It was the first time she had met someone she truly liked. She wasn't the type of girl who would easily give up. She assured herself that Mu Ziyu was still young and that his family would not let him marry at a young age. She also realized that she had made the wrong move. She should have fawned over Mu Ziyu's mother. If Mu Ziyu's parents liked her, she felt like she could get Mu Ziyu. She also planned on joining the company of Mu Ziyu's father's as an intern. She had made so many plans about her future with Mu Ziyu.

She told her parents her thoughts. She was going to intern anyway. She decided she would intern in the company of Mu Ziyu's father. She felt that by doing so, her chances of winning the approval of Mu Ziyu's parents would increase. She would also be able to find more ways to see Mu Ziyu.

Murong Xi's parents looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They did not expect their daughter to like Mu Ziyu so much. Her mother felt strange. "You've only seen him a few times and you already like him so much. Then tell me—what do you like about him? Do you like his good looks? Or is it something else?"

"I don't know. I think about him sometimes anyway. Mom, Dad, please promise that you will help me. I really like Mu Ziyu. He's very gentle. I think that if we only had the chance to hang out, he would fall in love with me. He comes from a good family, and he is a good match for me. Mom, don't you want me to marry into a good family and build a good home for myself? I only want to marry him." Murong Xi was very stubborn. She was intent on marrying Mu Ziyu.

She was determined to get closer to Mu Ziyu. She was already imagining how happy she would be to be his girlfriend and wife.

Her parents did not know what to say. Their daughter was very stubborn. She had many eligible suitors before, but she did not accept them because she said none of their efforts moved her. She finally found someone with whom she was deeply infatuated, but he ended up being in a relationship already. She was determined to get between Ziyu and his girlfriend. Although Ziyu was not yet a married man, he was in a committed relationship with someone. Murong Xi would still be tagged as a mistress if people found out.

"Xiao Xi, Ziyu is already dating someone. You shouldn't do this," her mother said.

"Mom, they're not yet married. Since they're not yet married, I'm competing fairly with that woman. Nowadays, even people in long-term relationships end up going their separate ways. Even committed partners break up. If a man is in a committed relationship and ends up meeting someone he likes other than his girlfriend, the girl can't be considered a mistress. Actually, there's no such thing as a third party," Murong Xi said to her parents very seriously. "Dad, Mom, as long as they're not married, there won't be any problem with it. Besides, who knows if they'll make it to the end? I'm not worse than anyone else. I just want to fight for what I feel. I will fight for it now while Ziyu isn't married yet."

Her father sighed and said, "You're so unreasonable. Tomorrow, I'll call your Uncle Mu and ask him for an internship position for you. If he grants you a position, you have to work hard on your own." The Murong family did not have a very close relationship with the Mu family. They did not even know each other's contact numbers. He had to help from the couple who assured them that Ziyu was single. He then said, "Do as you see fit. I'm afraid that you'll be wronged, but if you're determined to do that, don't come to me crying."

"That won't happen. I'm already an *****. I'm not the crying daughter you used to have." Murong Xi acted coquettishly in her effort to appease her parents. She had planned to call her friends and ask them how to woo a man, since she was not sure what to do. She had never done such a thing before. She was confident and believed in her abilities, but she needed her friends' advice to be sure how to go about it and how to make the next moves.

When she returned to her room, she called her friends to ask them for tips and advice on how to impress and woo a man.

Meanwhile, Mu Ziyu was happily eating at Shuishui's house. He actually didn't want to leave. However, his younger brother was there with him, so they had to go home when it got quite late.

When they finally left, Shuishui asked Qian Anzhi to clean up. She went upstairs to check on the two dogs and refilled their food and water bowls.

As she opened the wooden door on the third floor, the two dogs rushed to the door and whimpered softly.

Shuishui looked at the two dogs. The shop assistant had said that both dogs had already been vaccinated that year, but she decided to wait a few more days before giving them a bath.

Stroking the cute two dogs, she touched the bulldog's forelimbs. "Doudou, I'll make a prosthetic leg for you in the next few days. You can still run in the future."

The bulldog stuck out its tongue and licked Shuishui's hand. It was very obedient.

When she first saw the bulldog that morning, it was very scared and wasn't energetic at all. That afternoon, it became familiar with the husky, and they soon became friends. The husky laid itself down without a care in the world, as if asking Shuishui to scratch its belly.

"Shall I name you Little Ha?" Shuishui asked the husky.

The husky jumped up and seemed to be very satisfied with the name. Shuishui was not sure whether they could understand her. She looked at the kennels next to her. They looked empty and cold. She went downstairs to fetch two large towels, and she went back to the room to lay out the towels in each kennel. At least they would be able to sleep comfortably. She moved the flower pots away and placed them on the side. She took out the dog's toys and placed them on them empty space in the middle. She cleaned up a few of their droppings and made sure everything was clean.

Cleaning up after the dogs became a necessary responsibility. She didn't like dirty surroundings, and she couldn't wait until the next day to clean up after the dogs.

Qian Anzhi went upstairs to look at the dogs after he washed the dishes. He saw his sister cleaning. "Sis, I've checked online. When they're four months old, I can take them outside for walks already."

"En, quickly come and help. Move this flower pot to the corner," Shuishui instructed her brother.

They moved things around to create a space for the dogs to move around in. The third floor wasn't large to begin with. It was just a small utility room.

When they were done, the room suddenly became very spacious. Shuishui turned on a small light and went downstairs with Qian Anzhi. Because the dogs were still young, they were not yet disciplined on when and where to drop their stools. Shuishui didn't dare to let them run around the house. She let them stay on the third floor for the meantime.

Qian Anzhi let out a sigh of relief. "It feels nice to have two pets. It's like we have two more companions in this house. Also, we're quite lucky that they are quite well-behaved. If they were the type of dogs that barked endlessly in the middle of the night, we wouldn't be able to sleep well."

"That's right. I'll be at Uncle Jiang's house for lunch tomorrow. I'll have to go shopping with Auntie Jiang after lunch. You can eat wherever you want." She couldn't help but sigh when she thought of going shopping with Auntie Jiang the next day. She wasn't keen on shopping.

Qian Anzhi smiled. "Sis, you don't have to worry about me. I'll play with Jiang Li and my other classmates tomorrow."

Shuishui touched her pocket. She had been using her card for the past few days. She remembered that Qian Anzhi was almost out of cash. She walked to her room and took out five hundred yuan. She handed it to Qian Anzhi and said, "I'll wire one thousand yuan into your account later. Spend it as you see fit."

"Okay. It's so timely because I don't have any money now." Qian Anzhi knew he had to be more careful about spending because he and his sister were living on a more tight budget. Shuishui never talked to him about money matters, but Anzhi knew. Whenever he and Jiang Li ate together, Jiang Li would take the initiative to pay the bill. Occasionally, Anzhi would offer to pay for their bill, though he knew that Jiang Li had more money in his pocket than he did.

Shuishui saw that Anzhi was worried. He had become sensible. "Don't worry about money. I have invested in a business. I will get a bonus starting October, so don't worry too much."

"Sister, what business? Why don't I know about it?" Qian Anzhi had no idea what his sister had invested in.

Shuishui chuckled. "It's a barbecue restaurant. Uncle Jiang and I opened it. I heard that the customer flow is good and that its reputation as a good barbecue restaurant has been established. It's called Qian Ye Barbecue."

Qian Anzhi was dumbfounded. "No way!"

She nodded. "Yes. It has been open for a while, and we have allowed regular customers to become shop members." She turned to Anzhi. "Is there a problem?" she asked.

"Jiang Li and I have eaten there many times. The food is good, and the environment is very clean. What's annoying is that we have to line up every time. Sister, give us a VIP card so we won't have to line up in the future. We can just sign a bill and leave." Qian Anzhi looked at Shuishui, as if trying to flatter her.

Shuishui shook her head. "No, we can't do that. You can only get a membership card, and you will still have to pay. It will be hard to go after customers who simply just sign a bill and leave."

Qian Anzhi understood what his sister meant. "Okay."

"You should rest early. I'll go and read some books first." Shuishui went back to her room and reviewed some of the questions from the college entrance examination. The science subjects were not a big problem. She had to pay more attention to the Chinese language test because she wasn't very good at it. She had made mistakes in some of the multiple-choice questions. She researched the correct pronunciation of some words. She had no idea where to start. She was overwhelmed by the number of words she had to study.

She believed that she was good at composition, but she was unsure of her skill level in other aspects. She remembered being criticized by her former high school teacher for being emotionless, too straightforward, and too far-fetched.

Shuishui had no way to change it. She could only depend on her luck. Generally, if one would be able to do well in the Chinese composition, one would be able to score 150 in the test. Those who were quite familiar with the Chinese language could score around 135 points. Fortunately, she was not very unlucky in the past tests she had taken, and she often did well in the Chinese exam.

While reviewing the college entrance exam questions, she came upon the Chinese test and was no longer in the mood to continue reading. She was not interested in the liberal arts. She preferred English, simply because she was quite familiar with the language. English exams were not very difficult for her. To improve her speed during exams, she planned to work harder on the major questions in chemistry and mathematics to pull up her overall test score.

There were some questions which were more difficult with which she needed more time. She wanted to take the college entrance exam during the study period and see how she would do. It would be best if she could take the exam in one go. It was also comfortable to stay in high school for less than a year. After all, she would be more free and more independent when she entered university.

She was confident, but not conceited. She decided to focus more on her weak points and improve on them.

There was no way to make up for her weakness in Chinese. In her previous life, her Chinese was not very good.

For her, mathematics was more interesting than Chinese.

Shuishui was immersed in the reviewer. She found it very interesting to be able to solve a question that she had never done before.

She put aside the exercise book when she had finished. She felt that her brother would also be able to use the same reviewer to study the college entrance examination. For her, there was no need to buy too many of such books. She found it wasteful.

She played background music and continued to study.

Qian Anzhi continued to play games with Jiang Li. Mu Zilin also joined them after a while. For convenience, he created a group chat for themsleves. Mu Zilin occasionally opened played using Shuishui's account. Shuishui no longer used her account anyway.

While Shuishui was busy writing, Qian Anzhi ran towards her. "Sister, I need your help."

Shuishui raised her eyes. "What now?"

"It's just that we need to explore the game and are short of a person. If Brother Zilin were to go solo, it would be too difficult. Can you play? Although you're not yet very good at the controls, you're quite familiar with them." Anzhi urged Shuishui to join them in playing the online game.

Shuishui was stunned. "Aren't there a lot of people playing this game already?"

"You don't know. Recently, something happened in the game. We got into an argument with a gang. It was quite serious, and then they all backed out. They always like to attack our group. Although they didn't succeed much and were killed by us many times, many from our group wanted to stop playing the game. Most importantly, our main team's members haven't played in the past few days." Anzhi explained that everyone became hot-headed when the arguments started.
