25: Chapter 25 Aunt 7_1 25: Chapter 25 Aunt 7_1 Zhilan nodded, taking in all her aunt had said, “I understand, Auntie.”
When discussing university, He Hongi wished she could transfer all her past experiences directly into Zhilan’s mind.
Regardless of how unruly Zhilan had been at ho, she was still their child.
He Hongi genuinely feared that Zhilan might be mistreated once she went out into the world.
She had experienced the sa when attending university herself.
Afterwards, during her second year, she got engaged.
Fortunately, her in-laws treated her well and her husband cherished her.
When she resud her studies, they paid her tuition and living expenses, bought her many things, and spent a considerable amount of money to arrange for one of her lecturers to look after her, until she graduated safely.
So, after graduating with excellent grades, He Hongi did not hesitate to decline offers to stay in the big city.
Instead, she returned here to live her simple life.
Although many of her university peers have since beco quite successful, driving luxury cars, living in grand mansions, frequenting high-end places, He Hongi has no regrets for letting go of such opportunities back then.
Zhilan’s grades are excellent.
He Hongi isn’t worried that she’ll waste her ti at university, but when she thinks about Zhilan’s temperant from childhood up to now, it truly concerns her.
Whether Zhilan, once she experiences the glamour of the big city, will still decide to return here like she did back then, to He Teng’s side, and beco a dutiful wife.
She may worry, but that’s a concern for many years in the future.
Right now, Zhilan has been accepted into Capital University, and it brings them much pride.
Zhilan seems to have changed so much that He Hongi wouldn’t discourage her from pursuing her education due to worries about the future.
At lunchti, Liang Jing finally returned, bringing along a young girl.
From Liang Jing’s attitude, it seed the arrival wasn’t entirely welco.
When Liang Jing walked through the door and saw the expression on He Teng’s face, he laughed, “Big cousin!
Long ti no see!
I wasn’t ho the last ti you ca!”
Without waiting for He Teng’s response, Liang Jing’s attention turned to Zhilan.
In an instant his face changed, and he begrudgingly addressed Sister Zhilan.
“This child~” He Hongi understood her daughter’s thoughts fully, yet, it’s not sothing she could influence.
After all, everyone in the family used to dislike Zhilan.
Her daughter’s disapproval was understandable, “Rember to call her your cousin’s wife and not sister Zhilan, they got married as soon as the school holiday started.”
Liang Jing curled his lip in acknowledgnt, then muttered to himself, “What a pity, a pearl cast before swine.”
Everyone present knew who the ‘pearl’ and ‘swine’ referred to in Liang Jing’s comnt.
It’s impossible for Zhilan not to feel embarrassed.
Although she knew she was disliked in the past, to experience such explicit disapproval now felt awkward.
While at her aunt’s house in the past, she was never as nasty to them as to her family, but she was not warm either.
She barely visited her aunt’s house.
Even during holidays, when her aunt’s family would co ho to celebrate, Zhilan would avoid them.
If she couldn’t, she would sit silently, like a piece of wood, not making a sound or uttering a word.
