Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1102 - 534: It’s Time to Invite the Beiping Thief King Back to the World (2)

Qin Huai: ...When Tan Wei'an was bragging about his hard work at Zhiwei Restaurant, what exactly was he bragging about?

The initially pleasant dinner ended with Qin Luo holding her backpack tearfully and going into the room to do her homework. Even after Qin Luo went into the room to do her homework, Zhao Rong's complaints did not end.

Back when Qin Luo was in junior high, her studies were mainly guided and supervised by Qin Huai. Sometimes, when Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen didn't have time, Qin Huai would also attend the parent-teacher meetings.

At that time, Qin Huai was very familiar with Qin Luo's academic situation.

Ever since Qin Huai came to Shan City, busy with the management of Yunzhong Restaurant and often going out of town, he had paid less attention to Qin Luo. Plus, Qin Huai himself hadn't attended an international school and was completely unfamiliar with the teaching content and curriculum of international schools. He only knew that this poor kid did not have very ideal exam results.

Qin Huai hadn't had a sit-down chat with his parents for some time now.

Zhao Rong went on and on expressing her worries.

Before Qin Huai activated the game system and Chen Huihong gave the tuition fees for Qin Luo's high school and even university as a gift to Qin Huai, the Qin family was just an ordinary family selling breakfast. Studying abroad was very distant for the Qin Family. In the entire Qin Family Village, you couldn't find many who had been abroad.

Initially, Zhao Rong thought the school Qin Luo was attending was pretty good. With such high tuition, the teaching quality must be excellent—even a rotten piece of wood could be taught to become a useful timber.

However, as Qin Luo moved up to eleventh grade, the school's teachers started contacting Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen to analyze and recommend suitable schools and majors for Qin Luo's future, causing the couple to fall into deep anxiety.

Zhao Rong believed her daughter is a good kid, but she couldn't stand the short videos that constantly pushed the narrative of well-behaved kids going abroad and then going astray, drinking, racing, taking drugs, fighting, failing exams, retaking courses, and getting expelled.

The more Zhao Rong watched these short videos, the more they were pushed, and recently the videos started pushing that the security abroad is very poor, with frequent occurrences of robberies, shootings, arson, discrimination, bullying. The more Zhao Rong watched, the more she felt that sending Qin Luo abroad for studies was equivalent to sending her off to die.

She somewhat wanted to transfer Qin Luo back to a regular high school for the standard college entrance exam. But she was very clear that with her daughter's academic performance, transferring back to a regular high school would most likely mean she couldn't get into college. Afraid of delaying her daughter, she could only stay silently anxious.

Qin Huai listened patiently to all of Zhao Rong's anxieties, and from Qin Congwen's occasional agreements, he realized that Qin Congwen was actually quite anxious too.

How to put it... Qin Huai felt his parents were just a pair of very skilled anxious parents, often fearful and anxious at crossroads of choice, worrying that if they chose A, B might have been better.

Qin Huai felt this topic should be discussed with Shi Dadan, whose two unlucky kids had even worse grades than Qin Luo. Even the optimistic Dang Kang would show a worried expression and wear a pained look when discussing his children's grades and his wife's bad temper due to the children's grades.

Qin Huai simply consoled them with a couple of sentences, resisting the urge to reveal that he was the sole heir to Luo Jun's inheritance, and even if Qin Luo couldn't study and ended up begging for food on the street, he could afford to hire specialists to regularly increase her KPIs with alms, fearing his parents might suspect he'd been involved in telecom scams, tricking local residents from the community.

Qin Huai slipped a fermented rice with steamed bun to Zhao Rong: "Mom, don't worry, have a bun to ease your mind."

Zhao Rong took a bite of the bun and felt much better, with some of her anxiety and terror dissipating.

Qin Huai repeated the method with Qin Congwen, handing him a bun.

"Mom and Dad, you have to believe in Luoluo. Although Luoluo hasn't loved studying since she was a child, she's definitely a good kid. No matter if she ends up studying abroad or staying domestically, just let things take their own course. You have to believe that wherever Luoluo is, she won't go down the wrong path."

After listening to Qin Huai's persuasion, Zhao Rong felt much more relaxed and smilingly said: "Luoluo is indeed a good child, I still remember her first time learning to draw at kindergarten, drawing a family portrait."

"She ran to the orphanage to find Director Qin to see the pictures you drew when you were a child, but she couldn't find herself in any painting after viewing all of them. She bawled in Director Qin's office, claiming her brother didn't care about her at all since he never included her in a family portrait, and no amount of coaxing worked. It wasn't until you drew another one for her that she was consoled."

"I think that painting is also with Director Qin, and last year during the New Year's visit, we didn't spend much time at the orphanage. This year during New Year's, we should go back and chat with Director Qin more. Your father and I haven't seen the drawings you left with Director Qin for a long time."

Qin Huai: ...Mom, I've been kindly advising you for so long, why must you repay kindness with enmity?

Qin Huai thought he should find a reason to bring Zhao Cheng'an back to Qiu County this New Year's. It might be time for the Beiping Thief King to return to the scene, sneak into the office drawer of Director Qin at the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Institute, and steal out those embarrassing drawings from his early years.

Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen happily continued chatting about Qin Huai and Qin Luo's childhood, waiting for Qin Luo to finish a paper before taking the unfortunate child back to continue writing.

Before leaving, Qin Luo sadly asked Qin Huai if she could have her fingerprints recorded again. Originally, Qin Huai's house lock recognized Qin Luo's fingerprints. But since Qin Huai wasn't often home, and the WiFi wouldn't cut out when he wasn't there, Qin Luo's phone data was regulated by Zhao Rong. She often took the opportunity when Qin Huai wasn't home to go to his place, hang around the door to steal the WiFi and access the internet.
