Chapter 89: Good News (Additional update for Alliance Leader ‘Humming a Little Love Song’) (Fourteenth Update)

“Damn it, don’t defend them. Go and inform everyone. Those who didn’t pass the City Exam this year, do whatever you want, just don’t bother me.”

Su Zhentian completely ignored Anke’s pleas.

Actually, it wasn’t surprising that Su Zhentian was so angry. After all, when he spoke of the Su Family, he wasn’t just referring to the main family and branch families. It also included subordinates and others, totaling nearly a million people.

Furthermore, Su Zhentian placed great importance on the City Exam, and had invested significant resources into education, yet this year’s results were truly dreadful.

Anke sighed inwardly. The family had truly been plagued by misfortunes recently, so it was no wonder the Old Man was so angry. Thus, he stopped trying to persuade him.

Just then, Jiang Yu suddenly spoke up.

“Old Man, I’d like to correct something. Our Su Family didn’t have two people pass this year, but three!”

“Huh?”

Su Fu and Anke both looked at Jiang Yu in surprise. They were certain they hadn’t miscounted!

Su Zhentian also paused, then asked,

“Three? Who’s the third one?”

“Young Master Su Ming.”

Jiang Yu replied with a smile.

Upon hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Su Zhentian immediately stood up and asked in disbelief,

“You’re talking about my most good-for-nothing son?”

“Yes, and he even got into the Mecha Department.”

Jiang Yu replied with certainty.

After hearing this, Su Zhentian burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! Damn it, it’s a good thing my grandson isn’t like his idiotic father. He’s truly brought me so much face!”

Anke and Su Fu exchanged glances, unsure what to say.

They had Su Ming’s records; his grades were a mess. Forget Royal Court Academy, it would have been a miracle if he’d even gotten into an ordinary school.

Yet, he actually got into the Mecha Department of Royal Court Academy. This was like winning the lottery unexpectedly.

However, Su Fu and the other quickly reacted and immediately offered their congratulations.

“Congratulations, Old Master!”

“Haha, today we finally have some good news. My most good-for-nothing son has finally done something promising; he hasn’t ruined my grandson! Hurry, arrange for someone to pick him up and bring him back to Star City!”

Su Zhentian shouted joyfully.

“Yes, we’ll arrange it right away.”

Su Fu quickly replied.

At this moment, Jiang Yu checked the time on his wrist-watch and said,

“Wait, sending someone to pick him up at this time might be a bit too late. And Young Master Su Ming and the others should be boarding soon.”

“Then arrange for someone to pick him up at the train station, and also inform the people below to prepare a celebration banquet. We’ll celebrate together once Su Ming is picked up!”

Su Zhentian waved his hand and said.

“Yes, Old Master!”

Butler Anke respectfully replied.

—

Old Federation Thirteenth District · Central Train Station Entrance.

Zhao Ning held Su Ming’s hand as they walked inside, reluctantly giving him instructions.

“Son, you must take good care of yourself when you get to Star City. Wear more clothes so you don’t catch a cold. Mom will visit you when she has time…”

“Okay.”

Su Ming obediently replied.

At this moment, Su Yuan, who was carrying luggage and following behind Su Ming and Zhao Ning, said with a bitter expression,

“Wife, when I and our son go to Star City, you’ll be all alone at home, and there’s so much work at the company. Can you handle it?”

“Why can’t I? Can you stop nagging?”

Zhao Ning said somewhat angrily.

Su Yuan awkwardly said,

“Wife, I’m just worried you won’t be able to manage. How about you send our son to Star City?”

Upon hearing Su Yuan’s words, Zhao Ning immediately exploded like a lit powder keg, scolding him angrily.

“Do you think I don’t want to send our son off? The problem is, to go to Star City, I have to go home first. What good would it do for me to go back? If you don’t personally take our son back, what do you intend to do? The family side still needs you to gain support for our son.”

If Zhao Ning could handle things herself, she wouldn’t bother letting Su Yuan go back.

“The problem is, the Old Man said last time that if he saw me again, he’d break my legs.”

As Su Yuan said this, his body couldn’t help but tremble.

“Can you be a bit more promising? It’s all in the past. Is the Old Man really going to break your legs?”

Zhao Ning was almost exasperated by Su Yuan. He had been unwilling since they left in the morning, and even at the train station, he was still thinking of backing out.

Seeing Zhao Ning get angry, Su Yuan stopped bringing it up and could only turn to Su Ming, saying wistfully,

“Son, if your grandfather tries to break my legs later, you must help your dad hold him back and stop him! Whether I can make it home alive depends entirely on you.”

Su Ming was also exasperated upon hearing Su Yuan’s words. He was truly speechless with him.

This wasn’t sending him off; it was clearly setting him up. And he even wanted him to stop his grandfather? He would end up suffering too. Nevertheless, Su Ming still agreed.

“Okay, I’ll do my best.”

“You’re truly my good son.”

Seeing Su Ming agree, Su Yuan’s heart eased slightly.

At this moment, Su Ming and the others entered the train station waiting hall.

The entire hall was incredibly lively, filled with students carrying luggage everywhere, especially the central area, where a large crowd had gathered.

Su Ming looked over curiously and saw that area was filled with many reporters and guards maintaining order, and he could even spot Xiao Lie and other administrative officials.

At this time, Su Ming heard several students carrying luggage nearby, gathered together and discussing.

“What’s going on over there? So lively? And I’m not mistaken, am I? Isn’t that Xiao-daren?”

“You’re behind on the news, aren’t you? They’re holding a farewell party for the Thirteenth District’s top scorer in this City Exam.”

“Top scorer? Who is it? Wasn’t it Lin Chuyu?”

“Lin Chuyu was a special recruit. It’s Haiheng Academy’s genius, Qin Feng! He scored 279 on the comprehensive exam and 64 on the mecha sub-subject, which is even more impressive than Lin Chuyu!”

“Wow, that’s amazing. How many students from the Thirteenth District got into Royal Courtyard Academy Outer School this City Exam?”

“A total of 15 from the Upper City passed, with Haiheng Academy alone accounting for 7. The Lower City District seems to have had 8 pass.”

“That’s a lot fewer than in previous years.”

“There’s no helping it; the difficulty this year was just too high.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ming also became interested and curiously peered inside.

He saw a young man, 1.8 meters tall, handsome and sunny in appearance, dressed in a simple yet stylish T-shirt and white athletic shoes, conversing naturally with Xiao Lie.

Beside the young man stood a girl with pink long hair, wearing a sea-blue dress, with fair skin, a delicate melon-seed face, and lively, clear eyes.

In addition, there were five other young men and women standing on either side.

If there were no surprises, these seven should be the students from Haiheng Academy who passed the Royal Courtyard Academy Outer School entrance exam this year.

“Who is that girl next to Qin Feng? She’s so beautiful. They look like a match made in heaven standing together.”

“Don’t look. That’s Haiheng Academy’s most beautiful girl, Yu Wei. Her scores are second only to Qin Feng’s, and her comprehensive score is even higher than Lin Chuyu’s.”
