There weren't many people originally booking this dinner, just a few of them.

When Tan Hongru came, he was still wondering if it would be a waste for just a few of them to eat, but after entering the restaurant, he found that there were two other teenagers.

Fu Huating and Fu Yueci volunteered to act as the atmosphere group.

As soon as Tan Hongru entered the room, the two of them came over.

Both of them are good-looking and are very popular with the elderly when they act well.

"Professor Tan, I've admired you since I saw you on the news, and today I finally get to meet you."

"Since you are Qingqing's master, we are a family from now on. Come, take your seat."

With the two of them around, the atmosphere in the room was never dull.

Laughter and joyful chatter came out through the window.

Fu Qiaoxi was standing outside the door. She had followed Tan Hongru all the way here, but she had never mustered up the courage to go up and talk to him.

It was only when I heard Hua Ting say that when the door opened just now that I realized that Professor Tan was actually Sister Qingqing's master.

Seeing the servants coming to serve the food, she suppressed her excitement and turned to leave.

On her way back to her yard, she happened to see her mother coming.

Eager to share the news with others, she hurried over, her eyes bright and her excitement evident.

"Mom, Fourth Uncle has invited Sister Qingqing's master to our house! It's that amazing Professor Tan I told you about before!"

Xia Yuechu was also shocked when she heard the three words "Professor Tan".

But when he heard that he was Qingqing's master, he suddenly felt unhappy.

She grabbed Fu Qiaoxi's hand, held it tightly, and gave him instructions with a serious face.

"Xiao Xi, you should also invite your graduate advisor to your home for dinner in a couple of days. We are no worse than the fourth room."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Fu Qiaoxi suppressed her excitement and explained to her, "Let's not talk about the difference between my mentor and Professor Tan. Just the idea you have is wrong. Don't always compare yourself with Fourth Uncle and the others."

"You don't know Professor Tan's status. He accepted Qingqing as his apprentice, so it's normal for Fourth Uncle to invite him to dinner. I've graduated for such a long time, so if I have to treat him, it should be on Teacher's Day."

Xia Yuechu didn't say anything, still feeling a little uncomfortable, but as Fu Qiaoxi spoke beside her, her dissatisfaction gradually subsided.

It’s not that she wants to compete with the fourth branch, but the main reason is that there are only three girls in the Fu family. Her daughter Qiao Xi is the smartest and most capable one, and she crushes Fu Wanwan from the third branch in every aspect. There is no choice.

But now the fourth room brought back a girl named Qingqing, who first showed her affinity with snakes, won the old man's favor, and then inexplicably became a disciple of a powerful teacher. How could it be such a coincidence?

Xia Yuechu thought deeply.

That professor must have been found with the help of Fu Sihuai. Who knows what his intentions were, spending so much money to find such a powerful master for a three-year-old child.

At this point, it was hard for her not to think too much.

The two of them walked into the yard while talking, not noticing that their words were heard by the person in the corner.

Only after they left did Fu Wanwan come out from the corner.

Thinking about what Fu Qiaoxi had just said, she didn't know what to feel.

There is definitely jealousy, but more of it is feeling sorry for myself.

Fu Qiaoxi already has everything, so she naturally doesn't envy others.

Her parents devoted themselves to her. From elementary school to university, they always gave gifts to her teachers in various subjects to ask them to take special care of her. Later, in order to let her enroll in a famous teacher when she took the postgraduate entrance examination, they also used a lot of connections.

However, there are many boys in her family, an older brother and a younger brother, and her parents' attention is not on her at all, which leads to her always being the neglected one.

Originally she could still comfort herself, but now after seeing Qingqing on Fourth Uncle's side, all the reasons she used to comfort herself have become a joke.

Fu Wanwan walked outside the main hall, stopped a servant who was serving food and asked a few questions.

After learning that Xiao Su had also come, she hurried back to her yard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw her mother applying a facial mask on the sofa in the living room.

Fu Wanwan walked over and anxiously reached out to pull her, "Mom, you have to help me."

"Stop making trouble and go back to your room and sleep." Ming Tianqing didn't even listen to what was said and sat on the sofa unmoved.

Fu Wanwan refused to leave. She told him everything she had just heard.

After hearing what she said, Ming Tianqing was indeed attracted, but her thoughts were the same as Xia Yuechu's.

"How could such a coincidence happen in the world? It's most likely planned by the Fourth House just for the family fortune."

"Don't worry about the family property for now. Professor Tan and Uncle Xiao that my eldest sister mentioned are both in our house. Please help me. I also want to find a powerful master."

Hearing this, Ming Tianqing denied it without thinking.

"You can't. How old are you?"

Fu Wanwan paused while pulling her hand, her voice filled with grievance, "I'm already seventeen, and I'm going to take the college entrance exam next year. Besides, the one from my fourth uncle's family is only three years old this year, and she accepted him, so why can't I?"

Ming Tianqing really didn't want to lose face and go to Fu Sihuai, the key point was that there was no guarantee of success.

She glanced at her daughter and changed her excuse.

"Didn't you just say that Professor Tan's research area is unpopular? Even if you become his disciple, it won't do anything except make your reputation sound better."

When she said this, Fu Wanwan thought there was hope, and quickly shook her head with an expectant expression.

"It's not Professor Tan. Uncle Xiao Si is a professor in the Archaeology Department of Peking University. Our two families are friends. Please talk to Uncle Xiao San for me. I will directly choose archaeology as my major in college and follow Uncle Xiao Si."

Xiao Su is the third child in the family, not the youngest.

The youngest is Xiao Xubai, a professor in the Department of Archaeology at Peking University.

Those who are qualified to supervise graduate students are naturally very famous, and with the Xiao family's status, I wonder how many people are flocking to them.

Fu Wanwan had heard about him from her younger sisters before. He was called the "white moonlight" of the archaeological world by his students.

She still remembered that she had met Xiao Xubai once when she was eight or nine years old.

She had forgotten the specific scene, but she only remembered that he was very handsome and spoke gently, and at that age when she knew nothing, he amazed her for a long time.

So when Fu Wan was daydreaming during class, she would start to fantasize.

She had wanted to study archaeology since college, but she had only thought about it before because she knew that the Xiao family was different from ordinary professors. Moreover, her grades were not outstanding, so she was afraid that she would not be able to catch Xiao Xubai's eye.

But now that she saw that even a three-year-old child recognized Tan Hongru as his teacher, she felt that there was nothing unrealistic about her idea.

She wanted to take Xiao Xubai as her master, and she couldn't always be inferior to the other two.
