Chapter 70: Do You Want to Sit For College Entrance Examinations?
Before his legs were broken, Ji Yan was a workaholic. He would be found working in the company or in his study. After his legs were broken, he became depressed and locked himself in a dark room all day. He would not leave his house.
The other siblings rarely went home. When they finally went home, they stayed in their own rooms. The Ji family was immersed in this cold way of dealing with each other. The time they spent together as a family was even lesser than the time they spent with ordinary classmates and colleagues. Their interactions with each other in one year were pitifully little.
However, after Shen Hanxing married into the family, everything was different. The siblings were willing to stick to her. They even wished that they could surround her twenty-four hours a day. Those that rarely returned home seemed to have taken root at home. Thus, everyone moved from holing themselves up in their rooms to idling in the living room. Whether it was reading or playing games, they all gathered in the living room. They did so even if they had to bicker and quarrel with each other from time to time.
Even Ji Yan could not help but take the elevator down every day and move his work to the living room.
"A ridiculous person called and said some ridiculous things."
Shen Hanxing shrugged nonchalantly and waved her hand. "It’s nothing much, don’t worry about it."
She didn’t care, but Ji Yan looked thoughtfully at the phone that Shen Hanxing had placed on the coffee table. A dark light flashed across his eyes. The few of them temporarily put down what they were doing and looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Shen Hanxing didn’t take it to heart. She sat back on her own sofa and continued to read.
"Have you considered taking the college entrance examination, my wife?" Ji Yan looked at the cover of the math textbook in Shen Hanxing’s hands. He carefully asked, "I think you are very interested in studying, and you also like to urge the people around you to study well."
Ji Qian nodded in agreement. She looked at the book in Shen Hanxing’s hands with a hint of awe. Her sister-in-law was too scary. What kind of person would spend all day reading books about advanced mathematics, probability theory, and college physics just to pass time? Just reading high school-level mathematics could make her dizzy, and she wanted nothing more than to have a meltdown and revive herself.
Shen Hanxing was stunned. She had never thought about this. Studying was just a habit she had for a long time. She had dropped out of school to work because of her grandmother’s illness, and her finances had always been tight. After marrying into the Ji family, she had been busy being an adequate Mrs. Ji as she wanted to make her life smoother. Reading books was just a hobby for her to pass the time.
