Chapter24

Yao Le'er was startled when she saw the caller ID note saying "wife" and almost jumped up as if caught stealing.

Xu Bin hugged her waist with one hand and casually answered the phone, "Wife, what's up?"

"Husband, there's a power outage tonight. Do we need to buy some candles?"

Hearing her second sister's voice, Yao Le'er's face changed and she felt a bit panicked, as if caught red-handed. Xu Bin enjoyed her emotional fluctuations and immediately kissed her small mouth, but not with an intense French kiss right away.

Because Yao Le'er was scared, her lips were pursed, and her big watery eyes carried a hint of pleading.

Xu Bin continued to gently lick her lips without being excessive and whispered, "No need, wife. It's just a one-day power outage. I told you before that we were going to Ocean World, remember?"

"Ah, are you serious?"

Yao Nan's tone was a bit surprised. She thought it was just an excuse to brush off her mother's friends.

"Of course, we should relax occasionally!"

"Call mom and tell her. It's time for me to pick her up. You wait for us at Ocean World."

Xu Bin was always dominant and patriarchal in front of his wife, and Yao Nan was used to it. Sometimes she even liked this attitude.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Bin smiled and said, "The power outage starts tonight."

Before Xu Bin could finish his sentence, Yao Le'er obediently said, "I know. Mom's friends are just a gossip hub. I heard everything you guys said."

Xu Bin looked at the time, smiled, patted her buttocks, and said, "Baby, it's about time to take you to school."

"Brother-in-law... I, I'll change my clothes!"

Yao Le'er's steps were a bit unsteady as she got up. She was extremely shy, and her panties were probably soaked. Xu Bin didn't tease her further because he hadn't received any new tasks from the system yet.

After changing clothes and packing essentials, Xu Bin arrived at Shi No. 1 Middle School ahead of time.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw Ajiao standing there with a slightly annoyed expression. She seemed reluctant to come over when she saw Yao Le'er and Xu Bin together, clearly aiming at Yao Le'er.

Xu Bin frowned, thinking about how to resolve this trouble, but unexpectedly, Yao Le'er ran over directly and said with a smile, "Ajiao, thanks for your kind offer, but it's not necessary."

"It's nothing. Your godfather is poorer than my brother-in-law."

Yao Le'er took out her iPhone 14 and said softly, "My family is not poor, just strict. This is a gift from my brother-in-law for my academic achievement. It's more than what your godfather gave."

"You..."

Ajiao was caught off guard and couldn't counter her argument.

Words between young girls can be terrifying. It's not just Yao Le'er who wanted to counter Ajiao.

Xiao Miaomiao came over and intimately hugged Yao Le'er. She looked at Ajiao and said, "Enough, Ajiao. Your godfather is relatively poor. He doesn't have as much money as my brother-in-law."

"What do you mean by relatively poor?"

Ajiao said resentfully.

"He gave you a few thousand, and you call that small money? And he even took your virginity. Isn't that small money?"

Xiao Miaomiao's sarcasm was strong, and she immediately struck back, "Your so-called godfather only owns a small restaurant. How much money can he have compared to Le'er's brother-in-law? Le'er's brother-in-law spent over a hundred thousand yuan on Xia Chan series bracelets in just the past few days."

"Do you know how much Le'er's underwear costs? Each pair costs no less than 200 yuan."

"And what about the school supplies? Just the phone alone costs at least 20 to 30 thousand yuan. Have you ever used a 68-yuan washbasin?"

Xiao Miaomiao became even more arrogant and hit hard, "If you want to find a sugar daddy, it's better to find Le'er's brother-in-law. Finding your greasy middle-aged man, are you sick?"

Ajiao's face instantly turned pale. Yao Le'er pulled her back, and Xu Bin didn't say anything; he just left her there.

According to the registration by phone number, Xu Bin was the parent, so everything should have been normal. However, there was a slight issue with the dormitory assignment.

Shi No. 1 Middle School was a prestigious school. It was already good enough that all the rooms were eight-person dorms. But now, there were new dormitory buildings in a new area, and a lot of effort was put into taking care of sponsored students and children from wealthy families.

The new dorms had four-person and even two-person rooms, with good decoration and amenities like air conditioning.

The sponsorship fee at Shi No. 1 Middle School was clearly stated. If you were admitted, you would receive a scholarship and living allowance, which sounded good. However, for wealthy families, sending their children there was not an easy decision to make.

Yao Le'er didn't cost much since she got in through her own efforts, while Xiao Miaomiao missed the sponsorship fee by two points, which amounted to 20,000 yuan, and they didn't have any other allowances, which was a heavy burden for any family.

Originally, Shi No. 1 Middle School thought the new luxurious dormitory area would be very popular, but the big shots from wealthy families didn't buy into it.

They sent their children there to experience hardship. The wealthier they were, the less interested they were. They wanted their children to live in multi-person rooms to develop their social skills at the very least. Unfortunately, the occupancy rate of the luxurious dormitory building was extremely low.

The school didn't want to meddle with students who performed well academically, and they didn't know how to handle these relationship students. But the ideology of parents was there, and they didn't want their children to live too comfortably.

Xiao Miaomiao lived in an ordinary dormitory. As soon as she registered, the teacher looked up and asked, "Xiao Miaomiao, the ordinary dormitories are almost full now. Do you want to live in the new building?"

Xiao Miaomiao hesitated and said, "Teacher, my mom went to the provincial capital for an exam."

Xiao Miaomiao's parents were both teachers, and this was the busiest time for them. They didn't have to worry about any procedures here, as their friends were helping them with everything.

"You should ask her!"

Xiao Miaomiao's parents seemed to know the situation. The occupancy rate of the new building was less than 30%, and sometimes it could be advantageous to have a relationship, but sometimes it required effort.

"Teacher, my mom said she'll pay the extra money, but I want to live in the same dormitory as my classmate."

Xiao Miaomiao pulled Yao Le'er with her.

This request was not unreasonable, and the teacher quickly arranged it. The two little girls hugged each other happily.

After getting their dormitory number, Xu Bin went with them to the dormitory. However, it was very strict there, and parents were not allowed to help with the arrangement of things in the dormitory building, so Xu Bin could only sigh. His wish to visit the girls' dormitory was dashed.

"Dear parents, the time for sending off students is over. Please leave the campus now."

In the evening, Xu Bin left. Since the road was congested, he gave up on being attentive and told his mother-in-law, Shen Ruyu, to take a taxi herself, as it would be faster.

The subway was also crowded. Xu Bin met his wife, Yao Nan, in the lobby of Ocean World, but his mother-in-law hadn't arrived yet.

"Husband, the name of this place is interesting. It's similar to the Ocean Aquarium..."

As they spoke, Xu Bin's mother-in-law, Shen Ruyu, arrived. She had a radiant smile on her face and looked like she had won some money.

However, she was followed by someone else. The charming widow Yanzi was wearing a low-cut dress that outlined her alluring curves. Unlike Shen Ruyu's fleshiness, although she also had a devilish figure, it wasn't as plump.

Despite that, she had a fox-like smile and exuded an indescribable seductiveness. She had a feminine aura and took good care of her appearance. Her wavy long hair emphasized a certain kind of playfulness that comes with age.

"Mom, Auntie Yanzi."

Yao Nan immediately stood up obediently.

Yanzi smiled and said, "Nan Nan, the best thing to eat here is not the buffet, but the seafood restaurant with an ocean view."

"But isn't that expensive?"

Yao Nan hesitated when she heard that.

Yanzi looked at Xu Bin with a smile and said, "Expensive? Your husband is so successful. He even specially packed food from here and sent it to your mom last time. We were so jealous."

Shen Ruyu spoke proudly, "We were short of players for mahjong in the evening, so I brought Yanzi along because she was bored."

"Mom, then I'll go get the combo tickets."

Xu Bin didn't ask why she came along. With their group's style, it was unnecessary to say that Shen Ruyu was showing off, and someone made a snide comment, so Yanzi said she wanted to see if it was true or not.

Shen Ruyu would definitely agree regardless of how she felt inside. Even if she regretted it later, she couldn't lose face. So she brought Yanzi along.

The mission with his beloved wife had to be completed, and Xu Bin didn't care about having one extra person.
