Chapter 123: Chapter 123: After Raising a Child and Becoming Rich in That Era, the Delicate Beauty Was Spoiled 43 Times
Qin Lianqi didn’t say much, just casually watched the old man and Qin’s father argue.
In the end, they naturally didn’t resolve anything from their arguments.
However, the squabbling did eliminate the estrangement from years of separation, bringing the two pairs of father and son closer together.
After returning to Jinghua, Qin Lianqi had his own matters to attend to and soon left the Qin Family estate.

After Su Zhiruan and Zhishu Zhixiao arrived in Jinghua, they first found a hotel to stay in.
“Big sis, this place looks so bustling, I’ve never seen anything like it. Can we really study here in the future?” Zhixiao gazed with wide eyes at everything around her, finding everything completely fresh and lively.
Trying to appear profound, Zhishu’s young face couldn’t help but look around curiously for any novel things. “I’ve only read about Jinghua in books before, I never thought I’d actually see it with my own eyes. Big sis, are we going to stay here in the future?”
“We will; you both just need to study hard and also get into Jinghua University.” Su Zhiruan patted the two children’s heads, her plan for today was to first buy a house.
In this era, settling in Jinghua wasn’t as stringent as it would be later, but first, one needed to own a house.
Su Zhiruan was the older sister of Zhishu and Zhixiao, but because their parents had separated, she obtained a document from the local government proving that Li Meihua was incapable of being a guardian, thus she became the guardian of Zhishu and Zhixiao.
With everything else easier from then on, after she was admitted to Jinghua University, she could transfer her household registration to Jinghua.
“Big sis, will studying here cost a lot of money?” Zhixiao looked at Su Zhiruan with worried eyes, and Zhishu also began to worry.

Sighing in her heart, Su Zhiruan then sat down to face the two children, “Studying might not be the only way out, but I still hope you both study hard so that later in life you have more options. Education is the simplest way to quickly leap forward.”
“Don’t worry about the money. The money our family has earned over the years is more than enough even if you two study up to the doctoral level.” Su Zhiruan smiled slightly and took out two lollipops from her pocket, giving one to each of Zhishu and Zhixiao.
The packaging was simple, but they were sweet.
In the afternoon, Su Zhiruan went out to look at houses.
Current property prices hadn’t skyrocketed absurdly as they would thirty years later. She hired an agent and after touring around, discovered that a quadrangle house within Jinghua’s Third Ring could be had for merely fifteen thousand!
However, many people who could afford millions didn’t opt for these quadrangle houses; instead, new high-rise apartments with ample sunshine and tidy decorations seemed more appealing to the heart.
Even the agent shook his head, “Young lady, if you’re buying a property, better to choose the newly built apartments. Although they are a bit more expensive, look at the natural light and these small bathrooms; they are much better than those in a quadrangle house.”
“Are these quadrangle houses all around ten or twenty thousand?” Su Zhiruan didn’t look at the apartments, knowing that these quadrangle houses, under the economic boom over the next three to four decades, would skyrocket in price, eventually increasing by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.
Investing here couldn’t be more appropriate.
She decided to use the money to invest in several houses, and after a few decades, she’d make a fortune.
Later, Su Zhiruan picked out the three most suitable properties for investment based on their locations and bought them.
Under Qin Lianqi’s arrangements, Zhishu and Zhixiao smoothly entered the full boarding affiliated middle school next to Jinghua University.

In September, Jinghua University began its school year.
Su Zhiruan, with a small backpack, entered this top national university.
It was a university campus that students nationwide dreamed of.
“Classmate, which department are you from? I’ll register you,” said a senior sitting at the entrance, his eyes flashing with astonishment as he looked Su Zhiruan. He hadn’t expected such a beautiful freshman this year, “Hand me the inner page of the admissions letter, then fill out this form, and you’ll be set, little sister.”
“Okay,” Su Zhiruan handed over the inner page of her admission letter to the senior, then removed the cap of her pen and started to fill in the enrollment information.
As the senior held her admission letter, he first registered her major. While writing, he said, “Wow, little sister, I didn’t expect you to be in the School of Science, let me see, Physics major… this major is tough, even though I’m from the Mathematics Department, I’ve always felt that Physics is a huge barrier. But I heard your department has a genius this year, a genius who scored a perfect score in Physics! We don’t have anyone scoring perfect in Physics across the country because Professor Qin contributed to the questions this year, and there was one final question that supposedly was of a university student’s level, which no one could possibly solve correctly—”
His rambling came to an abrupt stop because he saw the three big characters on the admission letter—Su Zhiruan!
“Wait!” The senior suddenly stood up, startling the surrounding student council members.
A beautifully dressed senior girl asked him first, “Why are you so shocked all of a sudden? Is it really that surprising? What did you see?”
“Him, you should get used to it. I knew it before, this guy always talks on and on usually and likes to surprise or suddenly shout. Just get used to it, just get used to it—I’m blown away!”
The senior, who had been speaking, stood up and patted his shoulder, and as he caught a glimpse of the big letters, even his gaze turned to one of horror. He looked at Su Zhiruan with a wary and frightened expression, “You, you, you—”
“Senior?” Su Zhiruan looked at them doubtfully, feeling as if something was not quite right; she looked from one to the other.
“You are Su Zhiruan?” The senior shouted, and then the surrounding students turned their heads towards them. The senior continued to exclaim, “Is it really you? Are you that Su Zhiruan, who scored a perfect score in Physics this year and applied for the Physics major!?”
“Oh my gosh!!”
Instantly, there was an uproar around.
Su Zhiruan was somewhat puzzled. She had indeed applied for the Physics major, and she had scored a perfect score in the Physics exam, but to the others around, her achievement seemed to appear as something remarkably significant.
As the excitement of the crowd grew, a voice came from not far away.
“Ruanruan, come here.”
The voice was as clear and striking as flowing beads and shattered jade, and she was very familiar with it; it was Qin Lianqi.
Without hesitation, she stepped forward, and the crowd automatically made way for Su Zhiruan.
“Have you finished enrolling?” Qin Lianqi affectionately touched her hair, then embraced her shoulders and pulled her into his arms. His eyes were indifferent, devoid of any emotion, yet inexplicably, it made everyone feel an intense pressure sweep over them, “Everyone gathering around here looks quite idle?”
“Qin, Senior Qin?” A passing student who saw Qin Lianqi also cried out in disbelief, “You’re back?”
“Yes,” Qin Lianqi, while holding his girlfriend, replied, and then added, “I came to find my girlfriend.”
