Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 130 - 99: Shen’s Tutoring Identity Revealed
"Stop playing, it’s time to eat!"
Just as Lin Moxuan was about to "battle to the end" with Shen Qiushan, Chen Qingzhu called from the dining room door.
"Dad, let’s eat first."
Shen Qiushan stood up cheerfully.
"Yes, let’s continue after dinner!"
Lin Moxuan grunted with a sullen face and then strode towards the dining room.
At this moment, Lin Jiayu and Shen Yanran had already arrived in the dining room ahead of them, taking pictures of the sumptuous feast on the table.
"Grandpa, who won between you and Dad?"
"It seemed like you guys played for a long time."
Seeing her grandpa Lin Moxuan walk into the dining room, Shen Yanran casually asked.
To her surprise, her always amiable grandpa didn’t respond, as if he hadn’t heard her.
Shen Yanran looked at her grandpa in confusion and noticed that this grandpa, who was a director, had a very dark expression, as if he was quite unhappy.
Following behind her grandpa, Shen Yixiao gave her a glance.
Shen Yanran immediately understood; it turns out her grandpa lost, and it seemed to be quite a bad loss, otherwise, he wouldn’t look so upset.
Lin Jiayu naturally also noticed that her father was in a bad mood, but she was curious about what had happened, so she asked Shen Qiushan, who was walking at the end: "Brother-in-law, did you win the chess game?"
"Evenly matched."
Shen Qiushan replied lightly. Having won three games in a row earlier, he had already achieved his goal and didn’t need to keep pressing his father-in-law.
Hearing this, Lin Moxuan’s expression improved slightly. After all, Director Lin’s reputation was important, especially in front of his daughter and granddaughter.
"Qiushan, sit here and have a few drinks with your dad later."
Chen Qingzhu pointed to the seat next to Lin Moxuan; she still hoped to ease the relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law a bit.
After all, it seemed that these two hadn’t shared a meal at the same table in a long time.
Today was a rare opportunity.
Shen Qiushan had no mental obstacle, and he sat down next to Lin Moxuan with a smile.
"What kind of wine are you drinking?"
Chen Qingzhu pointed to the wine cabinet in the corner of the dining room.
"Bring out a bottle of Moutai."
"The bottle on the far left."
Lin Moxuan pointed to a row of Moutai on the middle shelf of the wine cabinet.
These Moutai bottles looked similar, but the vintages were different.
From left to right, the vintages decreased.
So, Lin Moxuan wasn’t stingy, letting Chen Qingzhu take the oldest bottle.
The whole family sat down.
Lin Moxuan cleared his throat and began to speak: "Today, since almost everyone is here, I’d like to say a few words."
This Director Lin was clearly accustomed to being a leader, thinking of giving a speech whenever there were many people.
Chen Qingzhu rolled her eyes and silently thought to herself: What’s there to say for a family meal!
But on such an occasion, she couldn’t really embarrass Director Lin, so she had to remind: "Keep it short, or the food will get cold."
However, Shen Qiushan put down his chopsticks enthusiastically, adopting a posture of someone ready to listen and learn.
Lin Moxuan naturally noticed Shen Qiushan’s little gesture and nodded with satisfaction, speaking seriously: "The next month is very important for our family."
"Xiaoxiao, Yanran, and Qiushan all need to enter the exam halls for the college entrance examinations!"
"I won’t say much about Qiushan; you’re experienced and understand everything!"
Lin Moxuan glanced at Shen Qiushan sitting beside him and then looked at Shen Yixiao and Shen Yanran across from him, raising his tone slightly: "Listen well to the following, the significance of the college entrance examination goes beyond the exam itself. It is the watershed of your lives, the stepping stone to your dreams, an opportunity to leap into a successful future!"
"Achieving excellent results in this exam will allow you to meet better people, see a broader world, and embrace more life choices!"
"Although grandpa holds a high position, I can’t help you in this exam."
"As the saying goes, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword; it’s time to test its sharpness!"
"Grandpa hopes you will soar to great heights in this exam, rising to the top and beyond!"
"Here, grandpa makes a promise: as long as you successfully get into college, I’ll cover your tuition fees!"
Upon saying this, Lin Moxuan patted his chest with aplomb.
Immediately, Shen Qiushan started applauding: "Great!"
"Dad, that was excellent!"
"Yanran, Xiaoxiao, hurry up and thank grandpa!"
"Thank you, grandpa!!"
The two of them thanked happily.
Shen Yixiao even raised her glass of drink: "Grandpa, I’d like to drink to you."
"Grandpa, I toast to you too!"
Shen Yanran also raised her glass of drink.
"Great~"
Lin Moxuan’s face was full of smiles, and he nodded kindly, then took a sip of his wine.
After he put down his glass, Shen Qiushan raised his own: "Dad, I toast to you too."
"Thank you for your support. I know, if it weren’t for you enduring the pressure, my spot as a guest student would have been gone long ago."
After speaking, Shen Qiushan directly downed half a glass of white wine in one go.
Lin Moxuan nodded slightly and didn’t say much more, finishing his glass of white wine in one gulp as well.
"You two drink more slowly!"
"Who drinks white wine like that?"
Chen Qingzhu said as she placed a chicken wing on Shen Qiushan’s plate: "Qiushan, eat some food."
"Everyone, eat up, there’s no one else here, what are you waiting for!"
Lin Moxuan’s speech made an ordinary family meal feel quite ceremonial, while Chen Qingzhu’s words broke that sense of ceremony, and the whole family began eating happily together.
