Ming Sicun sat alone in the bedroom. It was getting dark and she didn't turn on the lights. Her thin figure reminded Lu Qing of her mother for a moment.

"Mom, it's time to eat! The meal is ready. It's all your favorites. Chef Fan even made yellow croaker soup especially for you."

"Where's your dad? Is he back?"

"I'm back, with Yan Heng. Jun Lin called and said there's an event at school, and we're having a dinner together, so I won't be back for the meal."

If Ming Sicun doesn't want to eat, just let others eat and don't bother with her.

Lu Qing hated herself the most at this time. Even though she knew that her mother-in-law was biased, she still tried her best to change the situation.

She walked over and turned on the light. "Mom, you should eat something. You are already so thin, and you don't need to go on a diet. Eat a little to ensure your nutrition."

Ming Sicun just shook his head.

Lu Qing knew that it was about the land, and she wanted to tell her that she would help her solve it sooner or later, but she was afraid that she would tell Fu Yuanji, so she held back and didn't say anything.

Fu Yanheng saw Lu Qing coming downstairs alone, and knew that Ming Sicun was still not at peace, so he asked the kitchen to pick out some vegetables, put a food plate on it, and brought it up himself.

Fu Daishi didn't seem to take it to heart and told everyone to eat quickly because the seafood would not taste good if it got cold.

Lu Qing loved seafood the most, but she didn't dare to eat too much after she got sick. She picked a few dishes and ate a few bites. Seeing that Fu Junlin's seat was empty, she remembered that tomorrow was the opening day of the debate competition. "Dad, the debate competition organized by Junlin University will start tomorrow. Many people have been invited to watch the ceremony. Do you have time to go?"

"Tomorrow? There's nothing I can't postpone."

"Then you and mom will go together? Going to see Jun Lin together will make mom feel better."

Fu Daishi nodded.

I don't know how Fu Daishi discussed it with his wife that night, but the couple went to school on time together the next day.

Fu Junlin was busy with the opening preparations and was very surprised to see his parents coming together.

"Dad, Mom, welcome! It's great that you can come! This is the first time I've organized such a big event. I'm really afraid something might go wrong!"

Ming Sicun looked at his energetic little son in a suit and finally smiled. "Don't be nervous, just do it! This is all about accumulating experience! Mom and Dad are proud of you!"

Fu Daishi looked at the layout of the venue and the famous professors invited. "Is there any sponsor for this? Your school is quite rich."

Fu Junlin laughed and said he would keep it a secret.

The unveiling ceremony began soon, and the host invited the guests to come up and cut the ribbon and make speeches.

The guests who cut the ribbon included the school's president, honorary president, famous professors, and Liu Xiaofei, technical director of Qingguo Qingcheng Company.

Ming Sicun felt that the name 'Qingguo Qingcheng' sounded familiar and couldn't help but ask Fu Daishi.

Fu Daishi whispered that this was a new energy company that Lu Qing had founded outside, and it was not large in scale. He had just learned that Lu Qing heard that Jun Lin's project needed sponsorship, so he directly gave him one million.

After listening to this, Ming Sicun pondered silently. Looking at his son on the stage who was full of confidence and shining like a radiant light, he began to wonder whether he should work hard to train the third son?

The second son was too disappointing. When Ming Sicun went to ask about the stock mortgage, Fu Yuanji was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He kept shirking the responsibility. Even Gan Meng avoided him and went to her mother's house with the child.

Ming Sicun actually doesn’t care much about those shares. He will give them to his children sooner or later anyway. But his behavior is so heartbreaking!

Before, he used sweet words to coax Ming Sicun into mortgaging his stocks, and promised that they could be redeemed in a month. Now that something has gone wrong, he has shown no sense of responsibility.

Come to think of it, he is such a cruel child that he even betrayed his own mother.

The opening ceremony was full of the youthful vigor that only college students can have, and it was both artistic and entertaining. Fu Daishi was very pleased and silently held his wife's hand, thanking her for raising such an excellent son. After all, they have been married for many years, and Ming Sicun also understood Fu Daishi's intentions. His once-deviated mind finally began to return, but he didn't know how to ask his wife to help redeem the shares.

After the opening ceremony, the first round of debate will begin. Fu Yuanji’s university, as the host, will compete in the first round, this time against a Chinese university in Malaysia.

The topic of the debate is also very interesting, 'Is human nature good or evil?'

The first debater of the Malaysian side was a beautiful girl. "The ape-men in Zhoukoudian knew how to use fire to roast the skulls of their own kind. How cruel was this kind of raw roasting?! And the book "The Origin of Man" also tells us that when a native child accidentally dropped a basket of sea urchins into the sea, the natives threw him to death on a cliff. Facing the brutal nature of primitive people, doesn't it prove that human nature is evil?"

"Secondly, it is precisely because of the existence of the evil nature of human beings that education is particularly important and also quite arduous in the process of the evolution of human society. It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person. We have never denied that through education and self-cultivation, people can change their human nature and even form a great personality. But precisely because of the existence of the evil nature of human beings, we must know that it takes three years to learn to be good and three days to learn to be bad. An enemy comes like a mountain falling, and an illness goes away like a thread!"

Ming Sicun was fascinated by what he heard.

Both sides exchanged sharp words, both were eloquent and debated with scholars. However, Ming Sicun's mind was no longer on this debate.

When I got home, I saw Lu Qing watering the flowers in the garden.

It was a perfect spring day. Lu Qing was wearing a pale blue dress. She sprinkled water from the kettle in her hand. In the sunlight, the water droplets on the flowers sparkled like diamonds. Lu Qing's face was calm and gentle, like a picture of the Virgin Mary.

When Lu Qing saw her mother-in-law coming back, she hurried over to her, took her handbag, and arranged for the servants to serve tea. "Are you tired from the journey? It's very tiring to attend such an event. Please sit down and have a rest."

After a while, the servant prepared tea and Lu Qing brought it up personally.

Ming Sicun felt very powerless, as if he had been seriously ill. "Luqing, tell me, is human nature good or evil at birth?"

Lu Qing knew it was the topic of the debate competition as soon as she heard it, and thought about it seriously. "I think this still depends on the person. Some people are inherently good, some are inherently evil, or in other words, everyone has both good and evil. This may be determined by genes. But whether family education, school education, and even social environment can change it, and how much it can change, I can't say for sure."

Ming Sicun nodded, said nothing more, took the tea and drank it. Seeing Lu Qing start to wear loose clothes, he couldn't help but recall the time when he was pregnant with Fu Yuanji, as if it was just yesterday.

Seeing her mother-in-law was discouraged, Lu Qing really wanted to comfort her and tell her to relax, saying that everyone would help solve the stock issue. However, she was afraid that if she said too much, it would make things worse, so she could only silently pour tea for her mother-in-law.
