Chapter 126: Chapter 126: When You Envy Others, Others Also Envy You
"Bro, bro, the laptop you bought for
has arrived."
Sitting with Candy and having a al, Mo Jingchun looked at his cousin Zhou Yaling in the WeChat video and said calmly:
"It’s here? As long as you like it."
"But co to think of it, after all these years, this is the first ti since we were kids that I’ve heard you call
so affectionately."
Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile, "Why don’t you call
again?"
But what Zhou Yaling returned to Mo Jingchun was just a "Tch~"
"You little girl, how dare you speak to your brother like that."
Seeing Zhou Yaling in the video getting a playful knock on the head from their uncle, Mo Jingchun almost spat out his food from laughing.
Hearing the commotion, Candy, who was originally sitting on a little stool, climbed onto Mo Jingchun’s lap with her bowl, her pretty big eyes glued to the phone screen.
"Xiaochun, you should have told
before buying a computer for your sister."
Looking at his uncle in the video, Mo Jingchun chuckled and said, "It’s alright, as her brother, if I have so, I’ll give more naturally. If I don’t, then, of course, I’ll give less."
"Oh, it’s not easy earning money while taking care of Candy in Jing City. A laptop costs several thousand yuan."
Mo Jingchun smiled and said nothing.
His cousin Zhou Yaling wanted a lightweight laptop, so naturally, Mo Jingchun bought the best one for her.
He spent over ten thousand yuan on a laptop.
Of course, Mo Jingchun wouldn’t ntion this to his uncle.
When soone treats you well, it’s enough to silently return the favor. There’s no need for everyone to know; if everyone knew, it wouldn’t be as beautiful.
"If your mom knew how capable you are now, she could smile in peace."
"It’s just a pity, your mom never got the chance to enjoy life, alas..."
When their uncle said that, Mo Jingchun felt a pang of sadness. Just then, his cousin Zhou Yaling grabbed the phone back, and through the video, Mo Jingchun could vaguely hear Zhou Yaling arguing with their uncle:
"Dad, do you just not know how to talk?"
"When everything was happy, you had to bring up sothing sad, why do you always do this?"
Zhou Yaling’s face appeared on the screen, her brows furrowed.
"Bro, that’s just how my dad talks, don’t take it to heart."
"The older generation likes to bring up the past."
Mo Jingchun held Candy a little tighter, without revealing whether he was happy or sad.
"It’s okay."
"At this ti, you haven’t received your admission letter yet, but the results should be out, right?"
In the video, Zhou Yaling nodded and replied, "Yes, I got in through my first choice, Anhui University of Technology."
"Not bad, I originally thought passing a well-ranked second-tier school would be your best shot, but you ended up being a dark horse for this year’s college entrance exam, hitting Anhui University of Technology’s score line."
Zhou Yaling grinned and said, "Didn’t embarrass you, did I?"
"When the scores were announced, my teacher and classmates were all stunned."
"Bro, you should’ve seen their shocked faces, hehe."
Actually, Zhou Yaling knew very well that if it weren’t for her brother having a short conversation with her teacher after the school’s college entrance exam motivational eting, today’s outco might not have been possible.
If her brother hadn’t talked to the horoom teacher, would the teacher have paid attention to an unremarkable average student like her?
Zhou Yaling knew it clearly, as if looking at a mirror.
"I won’t co back when you start college. I have a lot going on here. I’ll graduate and return to An Province at the latest the year after next, and then I’ll take you out to have fun."
"Huh? Bro, you’re about to graduate? Are we living in different tilines? Or am I mistaken, aren’t you just one grade ahead of ?"
Mo Jingchun cast a glance at Zhou Yaling and said nonchalantly, "Graduating early is just normal, what’s the fuss about."
Zhou Yaling paused for a mont, finally forcing out one word: "Wow!"
"You could try it too, I think you might be able to."
"Forget it, I know my own limits." Zhou Yaling still had so self-awareness.
If graduating early were so easy, there wouldn’t be so few students doing it.
Besides, Zhou Yaling just barely made it into Anhui University of Technology; under these circumstances, graduating early would be like dreaming an impossible dream.
"Haha." Candy, sitting in Mo Jingchun’s lap, couldn’t stop laughing after seeing Zhou Yaling roll her eyes.
"Oh, Candy! Did you miss your sister?"
Looking at the adorable Candy, Zhou Yaling’s heart lted.
Mo Jingchun patted the little one’s head, and in a babyish voice, the kid said, "I did."
In the next mont, the smile on Zhou Yaling’s face froze.
"Guoguo wants to eat sothing yummy."
Oh well, I thought she missed her sister, but it turns out she just wants sothing tasty. Too bad for my joy that lasted less than a second.
"Hmph, sister’s going to be mad, Guoguo doesn’t miss sister."
Mo Jingchun patted the little one and said with a smile, "Quickly say Guoguo misses sister."
The little one looked troubled, her face full of hesitation.
"Alright then~ Guoguo misses sister."
For so reason, Mo Jingchun wanted to laugh even more when Candy said that.
After the call ended, the food in Candy’s bowl had already gotten cold, so Mo Jingchun emptied it into his own bowl and served Candy a fresh half bowl of hot rice.
After finishing the al and tidying up, Mo Jingchun took Candy to the company.
In Xu Pengfei’s office, Mo Jingchun, lacking the deanor of a boss, held Candy while sitting in a lazy chair reviewing docunts.
Looking at his boss Mo Jingchun, Xu Pengfei had an envious expression on his face.
"Boss, I really envy you."
Xu Pengfei’s words left Mo Jingchun, the person in question, and Su Wenyan, who was nearby, a bit confused.
Envy? Envy what? Having money?
"What’s there to envy about ?"
"I’m envious of your talent, and your wealth."
With a bit of lancholy, Xu Pengfei said, "Not like , stuck neither here nor there."
Uh... Mo Jingchun scratched his head and said, "As the company grows, it’s only a matter of ti before you also beco wealthy. Besides, you’ve made quite a bit of money following ."
Mo Jingchun sighed, "Honestly, there’s really nothing to envy."
"Xu Pengfei, you envy my wealth, but do you know I envy you just the sa?"
"I envy that your parents are alive, that there’s soone to support you through life’s ups and downs."
"When you’re tired and weary, you have a safe haven where you can always express your grievances."
"My little sister doesn’t even know what it ans to have a mom."
Mo Jingchun looked intently at Xu Pengfei and asked, "Do you still envy ?"
"When you envy others, aren’t they also, in turn, envying you?"
Mo Jingchun patted Xu Pengfei’s shoulder, speaking with a heavy tone, "Just live well in the mont."
"If you think about it carefully, there’s no need to envy others, right?"
