I'm back in 1990

Chapter 993: The Mission Accomplished in Secret

With the important matter settled, the four of them—uncle, nephew, father-in-law, and son-in-law—had a great time drinking that night.

Afterwards, the group went home separately. On the way back, Tang Jianhua, considering that his daughter was also there, refrained from asking questions until the two returned to their room, at which point he finally asked Zeng Hong.

"What did my brother tell you?"

Zeng Hong had just showered and was busy taking care of her skin. Hearing this, she didn't even turn her head and said, "You're just asking a question you already know the answer to! Don't you know what he told me?"

"Details, you know the details? I want to know how I convinced you."

Zeng Hong disliked the smell of alcohol on Tang Jianhua, but she still said, "Little brother is doing this for Xuanxuan's own good. Besides, Jin Da isn't that far from home. Alright, alright, go take a shower. Look at the smell on you."

Tang Ruixuan was the happiest of all. She filled out her college application form overnight and uploaded it so that her mother wouldn't change her mind after she woke up the next day.

After she finished all that, she made herself a glass of lime water.

When she returned to her computer, she found that someone had sent her a message on her chat software.

She opened the message and saw it was from her best friend, Gu Suining, asking about her college application. In a good mood, she replied to the message.

"It's already uploaded."

Gu Suining replied to the message very quickly, it seems she had been sitting in front of the computer the whole time.

Which schools did you list as your first and second choices?

After seeing this, Tang Ruixuan smiled slightly and typed on the keyboard: "It's a secret for now. You'll know once you receive your acceptance letter."

This was something her uncle taught her: things are accomplished through secrecy. Her uncle had told her many examples of how most people in this world can't stand seeing others do well, even their best friends.

Therefore, Tang Ruixuan developed a habit of keeping a low profile. Even her best friend, Gu Suining, did not know that Huahong Catering Group belonged to her family. After years of development and integration, Tang Jianhua has expanded his business into the budget hotel industry. Today, the group's restaurants and budget hotels are located throughout Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Furthermore, none of Tang Ruixuan's classmates or best friends knew that Huang Xiaochuan was her uncle, and a very close one at that, because Tang Ruixuan had never mentioned it to her classmates or friends.

Moreover, Tang Ruixuan had long been perceived by her classmates and best friends as a beautiful, self-disciplined girl from an ordinary family with excellent academic performance.

In junior and senior high school, although schools require students to wear uniforms, many students still put effort into their shoes and accessories in order to show off their superiority.

Tang Ruixuan never did that; she basically never brought any trinkets to school, even though she had many, such as Tiffany, Swarovski, and Chanel.

These were all gifts from her aunt, who loves to shop, and her maternal aunt also buys them for her frequently.

The shoes she wore were all custom-made in Italy, but there were no markings on the outside, only the craftsman's mark engraved on the inside, and the style was very ordinary.

Born into such a family, Tang Ruixuan had no choice but to try her best not to stand out. However, she was still very dazzling among her classmates because of her appearance and academic performance.

On the other end of the network, Gu Suining typed a string of "" on the screen.

"You! In the old society, you would definitely be an outstanding underground worker. As long as you don't talk, no one can get anything out of you."

Tang Ruixuan just smiled at her best friend's complaints and replied with a playful emoji.

"Fine, fine, Cola Novels, let reading always be a chapter ahead of others. You won't tell me, then I will! My first choice was Jinhang University, and my second choice was the University of Finance and Economics."

Tang Ruixuan typed back: "Jinhang University and the University of Finance and Economics are both very good. With your grades, you have a good chance."

Gu Suining replied quickly, it seems she's improved her typing speed: "I can't compare to you, you're definitely from a 985 university, I'll just barely manage a 211!"

Gu Suining's scores remained relatively stable across the three mock exams, and this proved to be the case. Based on last year's admission results, Gu Suining's admission to a 211 university was a certainty.

Tang Ruixuan was still very happy for her best friend, even though the two might not live in the same city in the future.

Soon, another message from Gu Suining popped up.

"But seriously, Xuanxuan, have you decided which city to go to? Or have you actually planned it all along but just not told me?"

Tang Ruixuan took a sip of lime water; she liked the slightly sour taste. Then she continued typing on the keyboard.

"I wouldn't call it a plan, I just chose a major that interests me," she carefully chose her words, answering her best friend's question while maintaining a sense of ambiguity.

Gu Suining randomly sent a thoughtful emoji: "I see, it's your Tang family's secret-keeping technique again. But it's good this way, so I don't have to worry about you for no reason, or accidentally let it slip."

Although Tang Ruixuan didn't care about other people's speculations, when her best friend brought it up, she asked, "So what do you think?"

Gu Suining replied quickly as always: "Me? I feel like they don't understand you at all. I can sense with my sixth sense that what you chose might not be something others could have guessed."

Upon reading these words, Tang Ruixuan felt a warmth in her heart. Although Gu Suining was a bit carefree, he was indeed a sincere friend.

"Thank you!" Tang Ruixuan replied simply.

"Oh, don't be so polite! You're being too formal." An emoji followed. Then, "By the way, what are your plans for summer vacation? You're not going to mysteriously disappear again, are you?"

Gu Suining specifically pointed out that Tang Ruixuan would lose contact for a period of time every summer vacation. Even after school started, when she asked, Tang Ruixuan would only casually say that she had gone to stay with relatives in another place for a few days.

Upon seeing this question, Tang Ruixuan thought about it. She did indeed have plans for this summer vacation. Her uncle had already told her that he would take her out to see the world, but she couldn't tell her best friend about it.

"It's not decided yet. I might stay home with my grandparents and read some books, or maybe I'll go on a trip for a few days. It's still uncertain."

She gave an ambiguous reply.

She then asked Gu Suining, "What about you? What are your plans?"

"Me? Of course I'm going to sleep in every day until I naturally wake up, to make up for all the sleep I missed during my three years of high school! Then I'll go on a trip with my parents. They're discussing the itinerary right now, and I guess this is one of the few times I'll be able to go out with them, so I'm going to make sure they're happy. I'll just go with them."

After reading this, Tang Ruixuan replied, "That's good!"

"By the way, Xuanxuan, once we go to university, it won't be so easy to see each other again, so you can't lose touch with me!"

Tang Ruixuan smiled: "Don't worry, even if I forget myself, I won't forget you. Alright, it's getting late, goodnight!"

"Mmm, goodnight!"

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the amazing book "1990, I'm Back":
