Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 228 - 161: Chess Reflects Character!

"Qiushan, why did you buy so many things?"

Chen Qingzhu asked.

"It’s because I won an award!"

"I bought some gifts for you and Dad, and also brought Yanran and Xiaoxiao along to see you both!"

Shen Qiushan replied cheerfully while walking into the house.

At this moment, Lin Moxuan was in the living room chatting with Wang Shulan.

The two families were not only neighbors; before retiring, Wang Shulan had worked at the City Women’s Federation, and her husband had served at the Health Bureau. So apart from being neighbors, they also had mutual connections.

They had always gotten along well over the years, and in recent years, they had frequently introduced potential matches for their daughter.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiamo was not interested in any of them.

Today they brought Zhang Chaofan along; his appearance was average, but his job and family background were decent.

He seemed quite honest for now, and if their daughter took a liking to him, Lin Moxuan would have no objections.

However, Lin Moxuan knew his daughter well and doubted that would be the case.

"Wow, it’s quite lively at home today!"

His gaze swept over Wang Shulan and Zhang Chaofan, and Shen Qiushan placed the tea leaves he was holding onto the tea table, then said to Lin Moxuan, "Dad, the boss said this is pre-Qingming Longjing tea, try it later."

"Where can you get so much pre-Qingming Longjing!"

"You must have been tricked."

Lin Moxuan replied casually, still staying guarded towards Shen Qiushan.

Although nothing happened between him and their daughter last night, the relationship between the two was obviously unusual.

There were signs of danger! This abnormal spark must be extinguished in its cradle.

Otherwise, they might really lose their second daughter!

"Old Lin, is this your eldest son-in-law?"

Wang Shulan asked while appraising Shen Qiushan.

"Auntie, my name is Shen Qiushan."

"I’m currently studying at Sanjiang University."

Shen Qiushan introduced himself in a very friendly manner.

"Shen Qiushan?"

"Are you that 38-year-old top scorer in the college entrance exam who received the Nebula Award today!"

Before Wang Shulan could respond, Zhang Chaofan couldn’t help exclaiming.

"Yes, that’s me."

Shen Qiushan nodded with a smile, "What’s your name, brother?"

"Zhang Chaofan."

"I teach at Sanjiang Science and Technology University."

"Brother Shen, I’m a subscriber of the book you’re serializing on Penguin Novels. I never expected to meet you in person today."

Zhang Chaofan said excitedly.

In his spare time, his biggest hobby was reading online novels; he was a premium VIP on Penguin Novels, and he had basically read any famous book on there.

"Old Lin, when did your eldest son-in-law become a writer?"

"I remember you said before... uh..."

Wang Shulan stopped mid-sentence, clearly realizing it wasn’t something good to say.

Lin Moxuan immediately shifted the topic, glancing at the two boxes of wine his grandson placed on the ground, and the cigarettes and tea Shen Qiushan brought, "Why buy so many things?"

"Didn’t I mention I won an award today!"

"We need to celebrate!"

As he spoke, Shen Qiushan beckoned to his daughter, who was the last to enter the house, "Yanran, give the gift to your grandma!"

"Okay!"

Shen Yanran responded and immediately took out the gold bracelet bought from Da Fu Gold Store, "Grandma, this is from my dad and he insisted you’d like this style."

"But I think mine looks nicer~"

As she spoke, Shen Yanran shook her fair wrist, the gold bracelet with an engraved design sparkled under the light, very dazzling.

However, at this moment, everyone’s gaze was not on Shen Yanran’s gold bracelet, but rather the plain one Shen Qiushan gave to Chen Qingzhu.

Recently, gold prices have been on the rise, already surpassing 1000, and Shen Qiushan gave such a large gold bracelet to Chen Qingzhu.

It looked to be at least forty to fifty grams, considering the current gold price, that would be forty to fifty thousand!

Although none of those present were short on money, strictly from a salary perspective, forty to fifty thousand wasn’t a small amount!

"Qiushan, why give such an expensive gift?"

"You, Xiaoxiao, and Yanran are all in school, and you’ll need a lot of money in the future!"

Receiving the gold bracelet, Chen Qingzhu was naturally happy, but still spoke modestly.

"Mom, didn’t I just win an award!"

"The prize is 1.5 million dollars, so there’s enough to spend!"

"As long as you like the bracelet."

Shen Qiushan responded cheerfully.

"I do like it."

"It’s just too expensive!"

Chen Qingzhu looked at the bracelet, she already had gold bracelets, more than one even.

But, what woman could ever have too many accessories!

Especially since the gold bracelet Shen Qiushan gave, although plain, had a simple and elegant design that Chen Qingzhu loved.

"Mom, I’m your son-in-law."

"As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son, talking about money is petty."

"There used to be no means, but now there is!"

Shen Qiushan spoke sincerely.

Wang Shulan couldn’t help but sigh, "What a good son-in-law!"

"Our son-in-law, we can’t even see him once a year!"

"Isn’t it because your son-in-law is abroad."

"Youngsters, it’s the time to work hard on their careers, you have to understand."

Chen Qingzhu consoled, then quickly invited Shen Qiushan to sit for a chat.

"I’ll make a pot of tea."

"You all just chat."

Shen Qiushan sat beside the tea table, appearing very sensible.

However, his sudden visit directly disrupted the rhythm of this matchmaking session.

The main issue was the stark contrast!

As the Lin family’s eldest son-in-law, Shen Qiushan had impeccable external qualities, and now he was the Nebula Award-winning great writer.
