Chapter 105 Going Home

"Then let's go to your home, but will it bother you?" After all, Grandpa Mo and Mo Liufeng were still in the Mo Family.

"No bother at all! My grandpa misses you and often mentions you." That was true. Her grandpa was not even so concerned about his own granddaughter. After learning that Murong Xue took part in the competition, he watched the live broadcast on TV every day. So did her brother. Well, so did she. At home, she was nervous for Murong Xue, but Murong Xue didn't call her. When she called Murong Xue, Mr. Huang picked up the phone.

"All right, but I won't give you tutoring until tomorrow. I have to go home today!" She had to go home and have a look. It was time to prepare some vegetables for the family, and she figured that her parents and grandparents had finished the spiritual water.

"Well, deal!" Mo Aili was so happy. In fact, she also liked being with Murong Xue because she could always feel warmth around her.

"..."

Murong Xue left before school was over. She was frightened by the enthusiasm of her schoolmates at school today. What made her speechless was that her drawer was filled with anonymous love letters. She didn't know at first and took out one to have a look. Out of her expectation, it was full of touchy-feely language. She stuffed it back again right away. She didn't know why she felt a bit awkward as if she had been an old lady who had the young boys confess to her.

She didn't know if she was mistaken. Though she was growing taller, her appearance didn't change a bit. Almost a year had passed, her facial features remained the same except that her skin got even better.

Was it because of the Space or the magical spring? She had no idea, but she guessed spiritual water was the reason. Her parents and grandparents also became much younger after drinking it. People who were not familiar with them mistook her parents for her brother and sister.

Was the change too great? Though her mom and dad had good looks, they were not that young. If people with ulterior motives did some digging up, they might notice something was wrong. For this reason, she wanted to speed up the development of AX so that she had something to fall back on.

In the evening, Murong Xue sauntered home with vegetables and fruits.

Her parents took their daughter into arms. They were very pleased that Murong Xue was getting more outstanding. She nestled quietly in Zhang Keren's arms. "Mom, I miss you so much!" She really missed home. It was so comfy at home. She would take good care of her home, absolutely.

Murong Fenghua, who stood by, wasn't so happy. He said in a disgruntled voice, "You just missed your mom? How about your dad?"

When Murong Xue heard this, she immediately gave her dad a big hug. "Of course, I miss dad, too!"

Murong Fenghua said with a contented smile, "Now you're talking!"

"Stay home and rest for a few days. You're always out hanging around and don't spend much time at home." Zhang Keren was happy that her daughter was so excellent, but she was not pleased that Murong Xue was always not at home

Murong Xue recalled her promise to Mo Aili and chuckled in embarrassment.

At the sight of her daughter's expression, Zhang Keren felt something must be wrong. "Are you going to go out for a long time without returning? Listen up, stop thinking that I won't scold you as long as you get good grades. It's horrible that you are not at home all day long." Zhang Keren got started on the crazy education style.

Murong Fenghua shrugged helplessly at her daughter. In fact, he didn't think it was a bit deal that she didn't go home. Besides, how could he not be concerned about his own daughter? He had someone follow her. There was something he didn't even tell his wife. That was Murong Xue actually lived in the same place as Shangguan Mo did, the Prince of the capital in the country. He couldn't interfere with it. Even if he told Zhang Keren, it would only bother her. So he didn't say anything.

But he was still worried. Murong Xue was good at many things, even better than him, but she still had to watch out as she was not strong enough. He was to blame for this. As a father, he couldn't protect her. Anyway, if anyone dared to hurt Murong Xue, he would sacrifice himself to retaliate.

Murong Xue looked good and didn't seem to be threatened. He finally got the weight off his chest.

After Zhang Keren finally stopped talking, Murong Xue explained. "Mom, I will take the graduation exam next month, and I will stay at Mo Aili's home this month because we two have to study together."

"What graduation exam? The graduation exam is a long time away. Well, I just finished telling you off, and now you start to lie again. I guess you are free outside and don't want to go home at all."

Murong Xue was speechless. Now no one believed her even when she didn't lie. "Mom, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can call my head teacher. I just applied today. After taking the graduation exam, I will go to the University of Medicine in the capital."

Her parents were shocked and quickly asked, "Are you serious?"

Murong Xue spread her hands. "What I said is true!"

"But you are just a sophomore. How can you take the graduation exam? Why did you choose to go to the capital without even discussing it with us beforehand?" Zhang Keren was rather disgruntled.

Murong Fenghua was wondering whether it was because of the Prince in the capital that Murong Xue was going to the capital to study. There were universities in A province, and she didn't need to go to the capital. Though the education was better there, it didn't matter what university they chose for children of prestigious families like them. Excellent grades were definitely great. But for Murong Xue, she would still achieve a lot even if she didn't go to the capital. In that case, they hoped that Murong Xue could stay in A province so that they wouldn't be too worried as they had a firm founding here. But if she was so far away from them, he couldn't protect her.

"Mom and dad, I can graduate with my present grades, and I don't want to waste time, so I applied for the graduation exam. Besides, my company will soon expand to the capital, so I need to go there, and I have already got the invitation for the entrance exam of the University of Medicine."

Her parents looked at each other, puzzled. It seemed that their daughter had planned it well, and they didn't want to get in her way. But they would still worry about her, just like any other parents who were concerned about their children no matter how wealthy and affluent they had become.

"We'll need some time to think it over. You should now focus on getting prepared for the exam next month!" Murong Fenghua rubbed his forehead. What he was most worried about was the Shangguan Family.

Murong Xue was about to say something, but she swallowed it at the sight of worry in her parents' eyes. "Okay," she replied in a calm voice.

After the family had a happy dinner, Murong Xue went back to her room. She fetched 10 big bottles of spiritual water and gave them to her parents. She also reminded them to give some to her grandparents whom she would visit once she finished the exam.

Her parents had got used to the magical water and also the vegetables in the Space. They had a hard time swallowing the vegetables they bought outside, and they had no idea how they ate them before. It seemed that they got picky thanks to their daughter.

At night, Murong Fenghua and Zhang Keren lay in bed, discussing their daughter.

"Keren, what's your take on this matter?" Murong Fenghua asked his wife beside him.

"Xue had grown up and become more sensible. She would achieve a lot. Though I hate to part with her, I would let her go to the capital. Besides, her company would even expand there. If I were her, I wouldn’t dare to easily expand my business there. It is not easy to run a business in the capital, and you will get into trouble If you are not careful."

"I'm still a little worried about her. It doesn't matter much if her career is gone. I'm afraid that she will be bullied as she had no one to turn to in the capital. How about our Murong Family also expands our business?" Murong Fenghua really had this idea. Ever since he knew his daughter kept in touch with the Shangguan Family, he had been thinking about this.

Zhang Keren was startled at first but she soon understood, "I know you are worried about Xue, but you can’t make the decision alone in Murong Group. I'm afraid the shareholders of the company won't say yes. Besides, the Murong Family could have developed long ago, but our family members all get used to the stable life, and they are not willing to take any risks. I'm afraid it's not possible to expand the family business."

He got her point, but he wanted to do something for his daughter. "We'd better have Xue study in A province. She can ask for leave and go to the capital if she wants to run the business there, right? And we can take care of her if she's here."

They only had one daughter. It could be said that they put all their energy on Murong Xue apart from the company.

"No, let Xue go to the capital. Have you forgotten what she had?" Zhang Keren knew Murong Xue had many secrets. If she stayed in A province, it would stunt her personal development. In addition, she wanted her daughter to get to know more people with power in the capital so that Murong Xue had someone to accompany and protect her after they passed away. Friends were the most important. They could keep her company in the future, much longer than they could.

Murong Fenghua was surprised, frowning. Was it the reason why the Prince in the capital approached Murong Xue? But what Zhang Keren said made some sense, and he could only sigh, "Well, let her go!"

They were tossing and turning all night.
