Chapter 3 Uncle Control

  "Liang Liang - are you done yet!" Zhang Ju's urging voice startled Su Mi Liang out of her reverie, and she quickly wiped her face.

  Looked in the mirror, tidied up her emotions, then walked out slowly and sat down at the dinner table.

  My gaze swept over the three bowls of steaming hot millet porridge on the table, and I lowered my head to sniff the real food aroma.

  Once again confirmed, at this time, her once warm home was still intact.

  Her mother sat beside her, with a gentle smile on her face, handing her a soft and fluffy steamed bun that was still emitting hot air. Her father walked over from the balcony, carrying a watering can for flowers, and smiled at her:

  "Alright, have you decided on your college major? Which school are you planning to apply to?"

  The familiar and concerned voice made Su Miling's eyes turn red, she met Su Luoquan's concerned gaze and smiled at him, she wanted to speak but her throat was choked with emotion, unable to say a word.

  She had no choice but to take over the steamed bun handed over by her mother and pretended to think.

  Su Mei Liang recalled her past life, she was studying psychology at Nanjiang University, but due to issues with her major choice, she had a disagreement with her father, and two days later, her father passed away. She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green, even now when she thinks about it, she can't help but feel a pang in her heart. At this moment, she forced herself to smile and asked for her father's opinion:

  "Dad, I've got Nanjiang University in the bag, as for the major, I'd like to hear your advice."

  Su Luo thought about his daughter's usual proud achievements and knew that Nanjiang University was a conservative consideration, but girls, going to university out of province is also good, he only had this precious daughter, being close to home was more convenient for taking care of her, so he smiled indulgently.

  "Nanjiang University, not bad, this university in our province is also one of the top ones domestically. As for majors," he hesitated for a moment and said tentatively, "how about financial management?"

  Su Mei Liang lowered her head, and indeed it was the same as in her previous life!

  In her previous life, she insisted on studying psychology, and had a falling out with her father. This morning, after her father's accident, the memory of it replayed countless times in her mind, filled with guilt. Now that fate has given her another chance, she certainly won't let misfortune repeat itself.

  She immediately lifted her head and smiled at her father:

  "Okay, this major is quite popular, and in the future, I'll also have common language with dad."

  Zhang Ju was slightly surprised, and exchanged a glance with her husband. Such a joyful scene was obviously to her liking, so she smiled and interjected: "Just the other day, wasn't it said that you were going to study psychology? Once you've made up your mind, you can't change it again."

  "Dad is an excellent entrepreneur, I understand some business sense, and won't lose his face."

  Su Miling said very seriously, she had already obtained a master's degree in psychology and would not go back to school again.

  At this moment, she thought to herself that in her previous life, because she didn't understand business, those scoundrels were able to openly and brazenly take over her company under the guise of managing it for her, emptying out her assets.

  "Hehe, Su Lian will definitely surpass me!" Su Luo Chuan smiled comfortably and handed a peeled hard-boiled egg to Su Miao Lian's plate.

  "Is the admission score for majoring in Financial Management going to be higher?" Zhang Ju's expression was a bit worried.

  "Mom, don't worry, the class teacher said that my estimated score is still conservative." Su Miling comforted.

  "Hmm, your class teacher suggested last night that I encourage you to take a bit of risk and aim for top universities like Peking or Tsinghua. Don't you want to consider it?"

  Su Luo suddenly remembered that there was still this matter, and of course, the implication behind his hurried departure was naturally to hint that he would use money to help his daughter pave the way.

  He is not stingy with money, but he is reluctant to part with his daughter. That place has strong winds and heavy fog, it's not as good as Nanjiang City in terms of environment.

  Su Miling shook her head without hesitation.

  Su Luo looked at her daughter's resolute expression and felt that this girl was like him, not arrogant or complacent. He was a little sorry that she wasn't a boy, otherwise... alas!

  He nodded and said: "Your grades are good, but unless you make an extraordinary effort, there is still some distance from that kind of college."

  As for Nanjiang University, there should be no suspense;

  Even if something really goes wrong, in our province, there is still room for maneuver."

  "Okay, I'll enroll in the Financial Management Department of Nanjiang University."

  Su Mei Liang nodded, foolishly staring at her smiling and elegant, quite handsome father, who was in his 40s, an age that was particularly charming, and he smiled with a pleased expression.

  Su Luo met her daughter's overly enthusiastic gaze with some confusion and asked: "What's wrong with my face?"

  "It wasn't until now that I realized, objectively speaking, Father is also a handsome uncle!" Su Miling said with a grin.

  Su Luo heard this and couldn't help but laugh, indulgently folding her fingers to tap her forehead: "Sassy mouth."

  Zhang Ju frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Dad is just dad, how did he become a big uncle? Is he handsome? Now this appearance, and when young, can't be compared at all." Her gaze swept over Su Luo's slightly stout waist, deliberately pursing her lips in distaste.

  The faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which had just begun to form into smile lines, warmed Su Mei's cool heart, bringing up a few points of long-lost affection. She thought about the so-called lover who only appeared after her father died in her previous life, and how she had glanced at her father's face with an air of nonchalance, saying:

  "Hey, mom, you're out of touch. Take some time to watch some idol dramas and catch up. Nowadays, from 16-year-old girls to 26-year-old young women, almost all of them are into older men, liking guys like Purcell or Chen Daoming."

  "A father like this who is talented, handsome and rich, I'm sure many women have a crush on him!"

  "Hmph——" Zhang Ju smiled and shifted her gaze from her daughter to her husband, "I don't know what 'daddy control' means, but I understand the saying that women are like tofu dregs at 40 and men are like flowers at 41. And your dad really has the capital to make people miss him. Tell me, who's been missing him? I'll help you take care of it. If it looks good, we won't resort to crying, making a fuss, or hanging ourselves. We'll graciously let go."

  What? Her mother's casual and natural teasing tone made Su Miling's mouth agape!

  His daughter's silly appearance made Su Luohe laugh, and he leisurely picked up a piece of egg with his chopsticks and put it into Su Miling's astonished open mouth. Only then did he turn to face his wife with a serious expression:

  "Liang Liang's mom, you said men are like flowers at 41, but don't take good care of them. Devote your tofu dregs in peace, and without the nutrition you provide, how can I, as a husband, remain handsome?"

  "Cough, cough, cough——" Su Mieling was choked by the egg, and she didn't know whether it was from coughing or being stimulated. Her small face turned red, and she covered her face with her hand, making a gesture as if she had goosebumps. She said, "Dad, Mom, don't spoil your daughter, this is so corny! Is this the legendary show of affection?"

  "Corrupt you? How could that be!" Zhang Ju scrutinized this seemingly innocent little girl, who could utter such words as "uncle control", and her shamelessness must be extraordinary.
