Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon-Chapter 1093: The Children’s School

Gu Zi smiled indulgently at her youngest son. "Northern-style mantou is meant to be filling—it’s supposed to be dense. You’ve got to eat it slowly. It’s especially delicious with a bit of pickled vegetables. Trust me, it’s a match made in heaven."

The pickles, of course, were complimentary—help yourself, take as much as you like.

Following his mother’s advice, Su Li took smaller bites of the mantou and paired it with the salty pickles. Oh wow. He couldn’t believe it—it was better than eating meat!

Su Bing and Su Le weren’t fussy eaters either. They ate contentedly, thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Gu Zi watched her children devouring their food with genuine pleasure. A smile played on her lips. She had gone to university up north in her previous life, and now here she was again, studying in the north. Life had a funny way of circling back, didn’t it? It felt so right.

After lunch, the family left the campus and headed to the nearby department store. They had only just moved in, and naturally, the first order of business was stocking the kitchen. Rice, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, tea—nothing could be missed.

And considering Gu Zi’s flair for refined living, the shopping list was enough to fill a small mountain. But she wasn’t about to grab everything in one go. Wandering through a well-stocked mall with time on your hands? Always a good idea.

The capital’s summer heat was still relentless, but thankfully, Su Shen had driven them there in the car, which he’d thoughtfully outfitted with mini fans. Everyone was comfortable in the air-conditioned cocoon, and by the time they got back to the courtyard house, the temperature had dropped enough that the two newly bought electric fans did the trick.

Gu Zi also picked out brand-new backpacks for the kids. Their schools had long been taken care of by Su Shen, who’d pulled a few strings to secure spots at one of the capital’s most prestigious institutions—Qingteng International School.

It was an all-in-one campus with kindergarten, primary, middle, and high school divisions. No transfers, no fuss. Su Le would start at Qingteng Kindergarten, which would make pick-ups and drop-offs a breeze.

The school had even received a personal letter of recommendation, and whatever was in it—well, they didn’t ask for entrance tests or interviews. The moment they read the letter, spots were granted.

Gu Zi had no idea which VIP Su Shen had reached out to, but judging by the results, it was someone with serious influence. Then again, Su Shen himself was no ordinary man. It was only natural that his social circle was filled with people just like him—powerful, discreet, and well-connected.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the capital, the Gao family was having their own little whirlwind.

On his second day in the city, Gao Lang was summoned back to the research institute for an urgent project.

Gao Ming, unfamiliar with his mother’s side of the family and not willing to be left behind, insisted on tagging along. With no better alternative, Gao Lang brought him along. So, for the past few days, the father and son duo had been living in the institute’s dormitory.

Gao Ming had seen all sorts of wondrous things during this time, and he was completely hooked. For the moment, thoughts of his beloved best friend had been pushed to the back of his mind—until the night before school started, when Gao Lang casually brought up his enrollment.

That’s when Gao Ming’s eyes lit up, his voice turning urgent. "Dad, I really, really want to be classmates with Su Li. Please?"

He didn’t know much about his father, but his grandmother had mentioned that Gao Lang was a top-tier research scientist—someone the country had invested in heavily. A man like that could absolutely decide where his child went to school.

The only question was: would he be willing to call in a favor?

To his delight, Gao Lang chuckled. "Don’t worry. I already spoke to your Uncle Su. Su Li’s enrolled at Qingteng International. I’ve secured a place for you too. Tomorrow, you’ll see Su Li again."

September first arrived—the day primary school students reported in. Gu Zi and Su Shen accompanied their children through registration, and as they exited the administrative office, a familiar, energetic voice rang out across the courtyard.

"Su Bing! Su Li! Su Le! I’m here—I’m over here! Look at me!"

The group turned, and sure enough, there was Gao Ming, practically hopping with excitement. In his arms, he cradled a perfectly spherical object covered in colorful illustrations.

Su Li approached first. "Gao Ming, how’ve you been these past few days? What’s that you’re holding?"

With the enthusiasm only a child could muster, Gao Ming held up his treasure proudly. "It’s a globe! It shows our world! My dad gave it to me. I’ve been staying at his work dorm, and wow, you wouldn’t believe all the cool stuff I saw. My dad is amazing!"

Su Li took the globe and turned it over in his hands, admiring the craftsmanship. It was indeed exquisite—not the kind of thing you could find at your average bookstore.

"But..." he said, brows furrowed, "why is our world drawn on this ball?"

Su Bing, who had also been eyeing the globe with some interest, scoffed a little at the question, but offered an explanation nonetheless. "We live on a planet called Earth. The globe is like a map of the Earth."

Su Li blinked. He still didn’t get it.

Su Bing sighed. In hindsight, trying to explain planetary models to a kid still in primary school was a bit much. He shifted his attention back to the globe and asked, "Gao Ming, can I take a closer look?"

"Of course!" Gao Ming beamed.

Su Bing took it from his younger brother’s hands and began examining it intently. Nearby, Gao Lang’s eyes glinted with quiet interest. This boy’s curiosity and composure hadn’t escaped him.

He leaned forward slightly. "Su Bing," he said with a hint of admiration, "if you like it, I can check with the institute and get one for you. Consider it a little gift."
