The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 451: Twins 2
Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Twins 2
"Did Dad tell you that you two were bullied at school?"
Lu Xingzhou squatted down, keeping himself at about the same height as the two children.
The usual cold demeanor he maintained at the company had faded away, and now he resembled a tender father.
Lu Xinyue, the little girl, nodded like a pecking chicken: "Little Fatty bullied us, calling Brother stupid."
Lu Xinyang remained silent, hands in his pockets, cool as ever.
Jiang Man sat at the dining table and called them to wash their hands for dinner.
She rarely got involved in the children’s education, mainly because she felt she wasn’t very good at it.
Her relationship with the children was more like that of a friend.
If she were to handle this situation, her first reaction would be to beat up Little Fatty.
To beat him until he no longer dared to call anyone names.
If it were up to her to teach, that would be her approach.
So she did not express her opinion lightly.
She listened patiently as Lu Xingzhou asked their daughter about the ins and outs of the incident.
After hearing everything, she said coldly, "Bullying at such a young age? A few needles in his mouth would shut him up."
Before she could finish her sentence, the servant came over respectfully: "Sir, Madam, Mr. Yu and Young Master Yu have come to visit."
"Perfect timing!" Jiang Man snorted coldly, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Come, Yangyang, Yueyue, eat your dinner first."
When Mr. Yu walked in with his son, he nearly fell to his knees on the spot.
"Little Master Lu, please have mercy, don’t take it out on my Dongdong, I beg you, stop messing with Yu Corporation, we can’t take the intermittent power outages..."
After saying this, Mr. Yu pressed his son’s head down, forcing him to kowtow.
The child, who knew nothing of the company affairs, only knew that he was being made to apologize to a "stupid" by his father.
"He is stupid! What I said was the truth; why should I apologize?"
"Kid, you’ve got quite an attitude." Jiang Man suddenly stood up and took a swift step toward Little Fatty.
She loomed over him, emanating a powerful presence.
The intimidating aura sent a chill down Little Fatty’s spine.
He had heard about how fierce Lu Xinyang’s mom could be, that she could kill a tiger with her bare hands.
The little brat trembled, and Mr. Yu, in his anger, slapped the child hard: "Still talking nonsense? You want to kill your own father? If the company goes under, are you ready to go hungry?"
"Mr. Yu, what do you mean by your words? Yu Corporation’s power outages, what do they have to do with Yangyang?" Lu Xingzhou wanted to reason with him.
But it seemed he heard more to Mr. Yu’s words.
Mr. Yu’s face turned pale as he looked up in shock: "Your Young Master is too incredible! At such a young age, he actually hacked into Yu Corporation’s power system, and several times at that! Our cybersecurity engineers fixed the firewall a few times, and each time it was restored, your Young Master would attack again. It happened so many times today, the company has directly lost tens of billions!"
"Young Master, I beg of you, it’s the father’s fault when a child is not taught well. Yu Dongdong insulted people with his filthy mouth, and I apologize to you on his behalf. Please, Sir, forgive my ignorance, and don’t target Yu Corporation anymore..."
Mr. Yu’s aged face was filled with the picture of distress, continuously bowing his head.
And the small heir of the Lu Family, seemingly hearing nothing, continued eating his meal, the perfect image of an obedient child.
"Mr. Yu, are you out of your mind? You said Yangyang hacked your company, how could that be possible?" Lu Xingzhou could not believe it.
Yangyang indeed was born extraordinarily intelligent, speaking at seven months, reciting poetry at one, and mastering multiple skills such as swimming, ice skating, and playing the flute by the age of two.
But strangely, from the age of three, once he started kindergarten, he appeared to become mediocre.
What used to take a day or two to learn now took him a month or even longer, with less than satisfactory results.
He and Jiang Man certainly hoped their son would become a dragon and their daughter a phoenix.
But what they found most important was the happiness of their children.
So even though Yangyang always had scores at the bottom of the class and never won any awards, they still stuck to their encouraging way of education.
"At first, I didn’t believe it either, but the truth is undeniable! If you don’t believe me, check the Young Master’s computer, you are sure to find evidence."
Mr. Yu explained hastily, seeing that Lu Xingzhou was incredulous; he was desperately anxious: "Young Master, please say something, what does Dongdong have to apologize for to make things right?"
Fine.
Jiang Man initially wanted to beat up Little Fatty, but now it seemed her son had found a way to avenge himself.
"Housekeeper, bring the Young Master’s schoolbag here."
She ordered softly.
Yangyang continued eating, and Yueyue tilted her head, whispering, "You caused Uncle Yu’s company to lose tens of billions? Brother, you’re so awesome!"
Yangyang glanced at his sister and awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that soon he was going to be in trouble...
So he quickened his pace of eating.
"I’m full." After finishing his meal with the speed of a whirlwind, the little guy attempted to sneak away.
He had just gotten off the chair when Jiang Man called out to him.
"Lu Xinyang, where are you going?"
Her voice was calm, yet somehow carried an aura of command without anger.
"Mummy, I was wrong..." The little guy apologized very quickly.
He turned and hugged Jiang Man’s leg, imitating his sister’s way of acting spoiled.
Jiang Man raised an eyebrow, a faint smile on her lips: "Who said you were wrong?"
"But in the future, if someone bullies you, take your revenge on that person."
There was no denying that causing Yu Corporation to lose tens of billions was a hefty price.
"From now on, stop hacking into Uncle Yu’s company."
"Understood..." The inherent bloodline authority made the cool young bully listen obediently to his mummy.
Of course, Jiang Man had no intention of letting the matter drop.
"Little fatty, didn’t you say my Yangyang is stupid?"
"He is stupid! Meh meh meh~" Yu Dongdong raised his head and made a face at Jiang Man.
Jiang Man wasn’t upset with the naughty child at all, but instead smiled warmly, "Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll ask a few questions, and you and Lu Xinyang will race to see who can answer correctly, who answers more questions?"
"Sure, with Lu Xinyang being such a dummy, he definitely won’t be able to answer a single one!" Little fatty was very confident.
"Mrs. Lu..." Yu’s father wanted to speak. free𝑤ebnovel.com
But Jiang Man raised her hand to stop him, "When it’s a problem between children, let’s solve it their way."
With a cold glance, where did Yu’s father dare to make any more noise?
Who doesn’t know the identity of this ancestor? The heir of King Corporation, the wife of the president of Lu Corporation.
If she sneezed, the entire financial district in the north would catch a severe cold.
"Question 1." Jiang Man didn’t waste any time, "Chinese question: ’Yu Zhang, the ancient county, Hong Du, the new prefecture,’ what’s the next line?"
At this question, little fatty’s eyebrows knotted immediately.
His mother had only taught him "Quiet Night Thoughts," "Ode to the Goose," and "Spring Dawn."
He hadn’t memorized the poem Jiang Man’s mother mentioned.
"Stars are separated in the sky as carriage shafts, and the land is linked to the balustrade of the Milky Way."
Before little fatty could scratch his head in confusion, Yangyang had already calmly recited the answer.
Not only did he know it, Yueyue followed: "My robe enwraps the three realms and my belt encircles the five lakes, I control the barbarians of Jing and lead the people of Ou and Yue. The land is rich with heavenly treasures, and the dragon’s light shines on Niudou’s ruins; the people are outstanding and the spirit of the land is divine, Xu Ru once visited Chen Fan’s bed. This is Wang Bo’s ’Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng’!"
"Great job, you got it right," Jiang Man gave both her treasures a thumbs-up.
"Question 2, math question." After praising her little treasures, she continued: "If a batch of raw materials at a chemical factory requires 25 days to produce at 432 kilograms per day, but in reality, 108 kilograms more are produced each day, how many days does it actually take to complete?"
Hearing this question, Yu’s father awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Mrs. Lu, isn’t this problem typically learned in fourth or fifth grade? Dongdong can only do simple addition and subtraction; he still can’t multiply or divide."
Indeed, little fatty’s eyes went dark just listening to the question.
"What about you, Yangyang?"
Lu Xinyang replied steadily, "432 x 25 = 10800, 10800 ÷ (432 + 108) = 20, so actually it takes 20 days."
"Very good, correct," Jiang Man did not skimp on her praise.
"Question 3, English question."
Upon hearing it was an English question, little fatty rallied his spirits.
He had a foreign tutor at home and had already learned more than a thousand words and a hundred conversational scenarios!
He was sure he would crush Lu Xinyang in this question.
Because he heard that Lu Xinyang didn’t have a foreign tutor and probably couldn’t even say hello.
"A fool thinks he is clever, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. What does this sentence mean? Translate it."
Jiang Man’s gaze was piercing as she stared intently at little fatty.
Little fatty’s face turned from green to white.
"A fool thinks he is clever, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. This is a famous saying by Shakespeare," Yangyang continued to answer at his leisure.
Yu’s father wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand, really wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
Where on earth did his son get the courage to call others stupid?
The young master of the Lu Family, where was he stupid? He was clearly a prodigy!
"Did you hear that, little fatty? ’A fool thinks he is clever, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.’ Who are you calling stupid, you big dummy?" Jiang Man bent down, her tone light and floating.
By this point, the little fatty couldn’t control his emotions anymore.
He looked up and began to wail, inconsolable.
"From now on, take a detour when you see Lu Xinyang, and don’t lead my Yangyang astray." Jiang Man used his own method to treat his body, "If you keep calling others stupid, I’ll have the principal move you, the real dummy, to the class of underachievers."
"Wah... Wuuu..." Little fatty cried like a slaughtered pig.
"Lu Xinyang, do you feel vindicated?" Jiang Man stood up straight and tilted her head to ask.
Yangyang nodded, his expression unflustered: "Let bygones be bygones."
"Yu’s father, did you hear that? From now on, Yangyang won’t badmouth your company, but only if you properly educate your hefty son."
"Don’t worry, Mrs. Lu, you can rest assured, I daren’t anymore, absolutely daren’t!" With that, Yu’s father hoisted up his hefty son and beat a hasty retreat.
"So awesome! Brother, you’re so smart, I knew it, my brother is the smartest!" Yueyue clapped her hands and cheered, idolizing her brother.
It was Dad beside them, with a face full of skepticism, "Lu Xinyang, have you been playing dumb? Wife, did you always know?"
"I gave birth to him, of course, I knew. He, well, he’s a sister complex."
Lu Xingzhou didn’t speak for a long while, staring blankly, then suddenly unable to help chuckling: "This genetic inheritance thing is really strange, your son, just like you through and through."
"Hm-hmm, your daughter, just like you through and through." Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, and just after finishing her statement, Yueyue turned and hugged her.
"Mommy, I’m sleepy, I want to sleep hugging you. Mommy, I want to hear a bedtime story, about princesses and princes."
Jiang Man affectionately curved her mouth and picked up the little bundle: "Alright, as you wish."
This clingy skill was exactly like Lu Xingzhou’s!
"Lu Xinyue, are you going to monopolize your mommy again tonight?" Lu Xingzhou saw his wife being spirited away and was immediately anxious.
"We agreed, on odd-numbered days, mommy belongs to you guys, on even, to me."
"I don’t want to... I want mommy..."
"You guys said you wanted a little brother or sister, right? If I don’t get to sleep with mommy, how can I give you a little brother or sister?"
"Lu Xingzhou! You have no shame!"
"Hahaha, alright then, mommy is all yours today!"
Laughter and joy echoed throughout the villa.
The family of four was happy and sweet.
