Chapter 4 Raising a Daughter Also Requires Strictness
Rui Rui usually rides her bike to and from school with several boys who have excellent grades.
Usually, Cheng Yuhang would lead the way, accompanied by a top student named Gao He and a boy named Yang Yunhao, who would meet Rui Rui at the entrance of the residential area every day.
Everyone else was in the top class at the affiliated high school's Jiangbin branch, but she was just a middle-to-lower-ranking student in the regular class.
While others work hard every day, she just lies around dreaming, spending her days eating and drinking, and even doing housework is a lazy affair.
This is really giving Lu Ming, his father, a real headache!
Fortunately, although Guo Haili, the ex-wife, was arrogant, she did have the capital to be arrogant. She was very beautiful when she was young, and her figure was also rare.
Rui Rui, that silly girl, has grown up picking all the good qualities of her parents, except for her brain.
Lu Ming first sent Cheng Yuhang out, then unlocked his phone and showed Rui Rui the mansion owned by Bank Manager Lin.
The entire house is nearly 160 square meters, and the decorating style is a modern European style that women love. Even the furniture is a complete set of luxurious pieces, with extensive use of brass and gilding techniques.
Standing on the rooftop, the scenery is absolutely stunning. There's a ring of climbing roses, blooming with colorful flowers in this season, and the surrounding scenery is also beautiful when you look into the distance.
When Lu Ming watched the video again with his daughter, he vaguely felt something was off. He felt that this style of decoration was more suitable for young women and did not look like the residence of a bank president.
It's a bit too flashy and romantic.
"Wow, Daddy, are you going to buy this new house?" Rui Rui immediately forgot about her parents' divorce and the tragedy of becoming a child of a single parent.
This penthouse apartment is absolutely gorgeous.
Lu Ming said confidently, "Let's rent it for a few months first. If you really like it, Dad can consider buying it, but you can't let your mother know!"
He's now a middle-aged dad with a system!
Although it's a super academic system, it doesn't match my age of forty!
"Dad has so much hidden money! Don't worry, I won't let Mom know!"
Rui Rui made a zipper-like motion on her rosy lips, as if she could truly keep her mouth shut.
I guess I'll be bragging about it to my classmates tomorrow.
Hey!
This is so worrying!
Lu Ming felt a headache coming on, but he still had to continue reasoning with his daughter, reminding her, "Your mother doesn't care about you anymore, mainly because your grades are really not worth worrying about; you clearly have no future. She'd rather take advantage of your upcoming high school entrance exam to cause trouble for a few months and get hundreds of thousands of yuan out of your father!"
"oh!"
Rui Rui herself was aware of the situation, but hearing her father say that made her even sadder.
Children will always grow up!
Lu Ming sighed and continued, "The good news is that Dad won't give her several hundred thousand; he'd rather use it as a down payment to buy a new house for us!"
"Yes, let's buy a house, move out, and stop caring about her!" Rui Rui looked at the video of the luxury house on her phone and immediately made up her mind.
A mother who doesn't love her is better off without.
After a moment's thought, Lu Ming patiently asked, "Rui Rui, do you want to be independent, get into a good university, and find a good job, or do you want to find an ambitious boyfriend and settle down to do housework and take care of the children?"
"I'll get into a good university!" Rui Rui answered confidently.
You're kidding me!
Don't underestimate this generation of junior high school students.
Lu Ming genuinely suspected that his precious daughter might already be looking for a suitable long-term meal ticket, or even a backup plan.
Hey!
It's such a hassle. They want this and that, and they're not even willing to put in the effort.
We must find a way to change our daughter's personality!
Lu Ming made up his mind and said, "Rui Rui, you need to learn from your mother's lesson. If you don't work hard yourself, you can't rely on others all the time. Sooner or later, others will abandon you."
If you don't get into a top-tier high school, Dad will send you to a private high school, but during winter and summer vacations, you must do all the housework.
We definitely can't let Rui Rui follow in Guo Haili's footsteps. To be objective, Guo Haili was spoiled by her parents from a young age.
They are ambitious but lack practical skills, are self-righteous, and completely incapable of independent and dialectical thinking.
With the help of close friends, the internet, and data algorithms, they eventually become completely trapped in their own information cocoon, impossible to wake up.
A forty-year-old woman who still thinks she's a princess.
Rui Rui is slightly better, after all, she is still young.
As a father, Lu Ming could only patiently reason with his daughter, continuing to say, "This world is becoming increasingly complicated. Relying on yourself is the safest choice. If you insist on relying on others, you will also have to work hard to overcome the challenges."
To put it simply, Dad is willing to spend money on you, but you need to make Dad feel that the money is well spent. You need to be obedient, improve your grades, and do more housework.
Your mom doesn't care about you at all now, she just feels it's not worth it, so she's given up. If you keep lying low, your dad will eventually give up on raising you too!
Lu Ming has now truly figured things out.
You have to be strict when raising a daughter. If you don't discipline her when she cries, you'll only ruin her.
"Dad, don't worry, as long as I can stay in the penthouse, I will work hard to get into a top high school!" Rui Rui said confidently, clenching her fist.
She suddenly realized that after her parents divorced, there was one less woman in the family who spent a lot of money, which saved her father a lot of money!
They dare to buy such a luxury house!
The next day.
Early in the morning!
Lu Ming called his senior Cheng Yong'an to confirm, and then contacted a moving company to find four movers to help.
Since we've decided to move, we need to do it quickly.
He packed his luggage first, even taking Rui Rui's piano with him, with no intention of leaving it to his ex-wife.
It was under the relentless pressure from his ex-wife, Guo Haili, that he bought it for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. But after only a year, Guo Haili gave up on urging Rui Rui to practice the piano diligently.
Rui Rui couldn't stand it, and neither could Guo Haili.
It's really a bit torturous!
After being so busy until noon, we finally moved into Unit B, Building 12, 16th Floor, Imperial Garden.
Lu Ming continued tidying up his new home, and while doing so, he put on his headphones and chatted with his senior, Cheng Yong'an.
After chatting for a while, he learned that the top student in the rocket class named Gao He lived across the street, and that Cheng Yong'an had helped him find the apartment.
The Imperial Garden was basically built with loans from the Provincial Commercial Bank, making it almost equivalent to a housing project funded by the bank. Many bank employees lived there.
"Gao He is a true academic star. He'll probably get into Tsinghua or Peking University. His parents divorced last year. His mother is a senior executive at the provincial investment group. She's quite beautiful, but also quite ruthless. She sold their old house less than half a month after the divorce and bought this new one."
Cheng Yong'an gave a brief introduction to his neighbor's situation over the phone.
"You two don't have a special relationship, do you?" Lu Ming couldn't help but be a little worried, because this senior was quite the ladies' man.
Most of these are dates between middle-aged men and women. They meet at a bar, hit it off, and then go to a hotel. If they are satisfied with each other, the relationship can last for months or even years.
"It's nothing. She's Anita Mui's best friend. She's been going on blind dates for the past two years and could remarry at any time. Let's try to stay away from her!"
Cheng Yong'an also reminded his junior classmate of twenty years not to fall into the trap of marriage.
People will die.
"It's alright, people wouldn't be interested in someone like me with my qualifications." Lu Ming didn't seem to care much.
He's 1.6 million in debt, what woman would want him?
"These things are hard to predict. What if someone likes you?" Cheng Yong'an joked slightly, but in his heart he also felt that he was overthinking it.
Back in school, Lu Ming was a really good-looking junior. He was tall and good-looking, loved playing basketball every day, and had outstanding physical abilities.
In terms of personality, they are absolutely reliable.
