Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Taking the Exam for Another

"Jing, come with me." Xu Ancheng came over, picked up Yi Roujing’s hand, and directly took her to the room.

"So clingy, only the sister-in-law can handle the big brother." Anmin muttered.

Back in the room, Yi Roujing watched Xu Ancheng’s expression, which was not very serious, and it seemed nothing was wrong.

"What’s the matter? Did you find out about the Zhang Family?"

"Yes." Xu Ancheng nodded, not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he hugged her and sat down with her in a chair by the window, holding her on his lap.

Yi Roujing glared at Xu Ancheng, "In broad daylight and by the window too, won’t you feel embarrassed if someone sees?"

"They’re used to it." Xu Ancheng was unaware, pinching here, kissing there, enjoying the rare day off. Knowing the wife had to go to the hospital early today, he didn’t do anything naughty last night. Now, having a little intimate time isn’t too much, right?

"Did you call me here just for this?" Yi Roujing asked with a chuckle, lying in Xu Ancheng’s arms.

"Mhm, to get close to my wife." Xu Ancheng answered as if it were a matter of course, "And also to talk about what I found out."

"Oh, then go ahead." Yi Roujing thought it was probably nothing, otherwise Xu Ancheng wouldn’t be so calm.

"The person at Jing University now, although she goes by Zhang Mengdi, was named Zhang Mengtian at fifteen." Xu Ancheng said with such calmness that it caught Yi Roujing off guard.

"What do you mean? Zhang Mengdi isn’t Zhang Mengdi, she’s Zhang Mengtian? Then the one in the hospital, who is Zhang Mengtian, is actually Zhang Mengdi?" Yi Roujing exclaimed, "Who took the college entrance exam?"

"The current Zhang Mengtian, but she wrote her name as Zhang Mengdi."

"Impersonation for exams!" Yi Roujing exclaimed, this kind of thing happened in the future too, if someone couldn’t pass, they’d pay a surrogate, but since the exams became strict, comparing IDs and even face recognition, it’s no longer possible.

"The two look somewhat similar; they just switched names. Most people in the village are called by nicknames or common names, so the name swap went unnoticed. Even if someone noticed, the family insisted on it, and others just assumed it was a previous mistake." Xu Ancheng explained.

"The current Zhang Mengtian is not biologically from the Zhang Family. It’s said she was found and rescued from traffickers by the Zhang Family. However, the truth is still under investigation. Theoretically, Zhang Mengtian was old enough when she was taken by traffickers to remember her family, but she never mentioned or contacted them, as if she just considered herself part of the Zhang Family. The exact reason is only known to her."

"So the current Zhang Mengdi doesn’t even qualify to study at Jing University." Yi Roujing felt disdain, "She let someone else shine in her life while she used them as a shadow."

"Do we expose this?" Xu Ancheng wasn’t particularly bothered by it.

"Only those involved have the right." Yi Roujing wasn’t planning to take the lead, "I just met Zhang Mengtian this morning, she must be willingly involved. If it were a case of deception and name-taking, I might have kindly reminded her, but since it’s not, I won’t interfere in their matter."

"But it’s a significant leverage, I hope Zhang Mengdi doesn’t bother me again." Yi Roujing nudged Xu Ancheng’s shoulder, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes to rest for a bit.

"Really know how to enjoy." Xu Ancheng lowered his head and kissed her, letting Yi Roujing sleep.

The sunshine was just right, streaming through the glass into the room, illuminating a corner, warming the two sitting in the old wooden rocking chair, as Yi Roujing had fallen asleep.

"Mom—" Baozi knocked on the door, and after a moment, pushed the door open, facing the warning look in his father’s eyes and the finger pressed to his lips.

Baozi lowered his voice knowingly, "Is Mom tired?"

"Mhm, got up early today."

"Grandma wanted to ask if Mom likes sweet fermented rice balls or sweet and sour orange soup?" Baozi put his right hand to his mouth, quietly explaining the reason for his visit.

"The former." Xu Ancheng knew his wife’s drinking capacity, and although he didn’t want her to drink, a little at home was fine, plus she liked the glutinous small balls.

"That’s what I thought, just confirming." Baozi smiled, squinting at Xu Ancheng, a hint of I-know-better in his eyes, creating a particularly warm father-son scene.

"Brother—" Mantou’s voice came, accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching fast.

"I have to go out now." Baozi backed out cautiously and closed the door, reminding before it closed completely, "There’s still forty minutes until lunch."

"Okay." Xu Ancheng nodded.

Just as the door closed, Mantou ran up to Baozi.

"Brother, why is the door shut, where are Uncle and Auntie?" Mantou curiously wanted to open the door.

"We can’t go in." Baozi stopped Mantou, warning earnestly, "In the future, when aunt and uncle are alone in the room, you can’t just go in. If there’s something urgent, go to grandma and grandpa, or grandpa and grandma, and if necessary, knock on the door first."

Mantou listened attentively to Baozi and nodded seriously, indicating he would follow in the future.

"But why, brother?" Mantou listened to Baozi but was curious, asking about everything.

"That’s not something we need to know at our age." Baozi explained, it was what Daddy Xu Ancheng told him, different ages have things that should and shouldn’t be known.

"I’m not that young." Mantou puffed out his well-dressed chest, "Mom said I’m a brother now, a little grown-up, should care for younger siblings, Dumplings and Tangyuan."

"I’m still young and can’t know." Baozi said.

"Oh, then I shouldn’t know." Mantou quickly accepted.

"It’s our secret; don’t tell anyone." Baozi added, and Mantou covered his mouth. Although it was hard to hold, he nodded since he was a man and had to keep his word.

"Let’s build a camp." Baozi liked his younger brother’s nature and immediately offered a sweet persuasion.

"The toy from the god-grandpa?" Mantou’s eyes sparkled, and his attention quickly shifted.

"Yeah."

"Brother is the best."

"Play after finishing lunch."

"Mhm, listen to brother."

While the Xu Family and Ding Family enjoyed harmony, the Ni Family was bustling; tomorrow was the Ni Family banquet, and the menu was prepared early, all ingredients ready today, and even though the house was clean, it was tidied up thoroughly again.

April 2, Sunday, Xu Ancheng, Yi Roujing, and Baozi dressed up early, leaving at nine thirty to walk to the courtyard where the Ni Family is located.

Ni Family is on Prince Mansion Street, with a five-section courtyard, where four generations of the Ni Family live together, a deeply rooted large family.
