Du Fei returned home and immediately noticed something was amiss.
"What's wrong, my eldest daughter Du, who upset you?"
He walked over to Du Yunyun and sat beside her.
Du Yunyun snorted, "When I came back today..."
Following this, Du Yunyun recounted how a wealthy woman had blocked her and Wu Chunmei's car, demanding to buy her top scorer title for a million yuan.
Du Yunyun was furious as she narrated the incident.
The woman's condescending and superior attitude was truly infuriating.
However, after listening, Du Yunyun found Du Fei wearing a smile.
"Are you really my brother! My sister is about to die of anger, and you can still smile?"
Du Yunyun became even more agitated by Du Fei's reaction.
Shouldn't Du Fei be indignant and condemn the wealthy woman with her?
Why was he reacting like this?
"I have a valedictorian sister, why should I be angry? Besides, there are plenty of people who think they're superior just because they have a little money. If I got angry every time I met one, I'd be too angry to eat or sleep every day!"
"Little sister, if you ask me, you should change your perspective. This person does have some insight, recognizing you as the top scorer at a glance. However, her methods are unacceptable."
Du Fei slowly explained his reasoning.
Huh?
Du Fei's perspective was certainly unique.
After hearing this, Du Yunyun felt a strange mix of amusement and helplessness.
But she had to admit, Du Fei's words made sense.
Nowadays, many people, having earned a bit of money, bought better cars and more expensive houses, and felt superior in every way.
In reality, true tycoons were more low-key the wealthier they were, and more humble the more capable they were.
Du Fei's distraction made Du Yunyun forget her earlier unhappiness and remember Du Fei not picking her up.
"Brother, speaking of which, you not picking me up outside the exam hall made me feel very sad, so shouldn't you compensate me?"
Although she said she was sad, Du Yunyun's eyes darted around slyly, showing no sign of actual sadness.
Seeing Du Yunyun's expression, Du Fei knew what the little girl was thinking. He immediately said, "The college entrance exam is over, it's time to relax. Tell me what you want, and I'll get it for you."
Du Fei's current net worth was astonishing, though he had never told his family.
He felt it was unnecessary. His mother, Wu Chunmei, and his sister, Du Yunyun, were not people who spent money carelessly.
"I want a good camera phone. I want to travel around before going to college, take beautiful photos, and document the wonderful life."
Du Yunyun quickly stated her request.
Du Fei had actually offered to buy Du Yunyun a better phone before.
But Du Yunyun felt that a functional phone was enough, and she was in the critical period of preparing for the college entrance examination at the time.
It was different now. After the college entrance examination, she would be a university student after the summer holiday.
Moreover, she vaguely knew that Du Fei seemed to be quite wealthy, so Du Yunyun seized the opportunity to request a new phone.
"So you just want a phone? That's hardly a request. How about this, I promise to buy you the best phone, and then you can ask for another request that's a bit more challenging."
Upon hearing Du Yunyun's request, Du Fei immediately waved his hand, proposing a more difficult task.
Du Yunyun's eyes darted, and she chuckled, "Alright then, I want to call Sister Shishi my sister-in-law. How's that for a request?"
Du Fei froze instantly.
Seeing Du Fei's reaction, Du Yunyun covered her mouth and laughed heartily.
Du Fei looked embarrassed and said, "Little girl, you just love to tease your brother. I dote on you so much!"
Just then, Wu Chunmei, who had come out of the kitchen, said, "Xiaofei, I think Yunyun's request is quite good. Shishi is a good girl. You two get along so well, Mom is happy for you. Speaking of which, you're both at an age where you should get married soon, why not get your marriage certificate?"
"Yes, yes, and it would be even better if you could give me two chubby grandchildren to raise. Mom would be even happier."
Du Yunyun, wanting to stir up more trouble, chimed in with her agreement.
Du Fei raised his hand, "Stop, stop, let me say a few words."
Wu Chunmei and Du Yunyun exchanged a knowing smile and then looked at Du Fei together.
Du Fei paused for a moment before continuing, "I do get along very well with Shishi, and we are working towards marriage. However, we have only been dating for a short time. Right now, both Shishi and I have our own pursuits. Once our relationship is more stable, and our careers are on the right track, I promise to give myself and you all a satisfactory answer, okay?"
"Mmm-hmm, brother, keep it up! I'm rooting for you!"
Du Yunyun's small face was filled with seriousness.
Wu Chunmei smiled and nodded.
Her daughter's college entrance examination results were not out yet, but according to her, she had performed exceptionally well, answering every question flawlessly. Her score was likely to be excellent.
Her son, who had opened a Chinese medicine clinic, was not immensely famous but seemed to have some aspects of his life that she didn't fully understand. He had a luxury car and was close to owning a villa, so Wu Chunmei didn't need to worry about him.
If only their father could see this scene.
As she thought about it, tears involuntarily welled up in Wu Chunmei's eyes.
"Mom, Mom, why are you crying?"
Du Yunyun was the first to notice Wu Chunmei's distress. She immediately got up from the sofa and rushed into Wu Chunmei's arms, hugging her.
As for Du Fei, he also stood up and walked to her side, looking at Wu Chunmei with concern.
Seeing that her momentary emotion had made her son and daughter so worried about her, Wu Chunmei hastily wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.
"It's nothing, Mom is fine. I was just cutting something in the kitchen and might have accidentally cut my eye, that's why I'm tearing up."
"My son and daughter are so sensible and filial, why would I cry for no reason?"
Wu Chunmei naturally wouldn't reveal what she had just been thinking, as it would upset her son and daughter.
So, she could only spin a well-intentioned lie.
Seeing that Wu Chunmei was indeed alright, Du Fei and Du Yunyun finally relaxed.
Afterward, Wu Chunmei asked them to sit for a while while she went to the kitchen to cook.
Both Du Fei and Du Yunyun offered to help in the kitchen, but Wu Chunmei said neither of them needed to. The ingredients were almost ready, just needing to be stir-fried. Their presence would only be a hindrance.
Since Wu Chunmei didn't need their help, Du Yunyun pulled Du Fei along, and they began discussing what kind of phone to buy.
Soon, they were engrossed in a lively conversation.
Wu Chunmei also entered the kitchen and busied herself.
