Chapter 571 - 449: Making Money Isn’t Vulgar
Ning Youguang nodded gently, patiently listening to the girl’s heartfelt grievances in front of him.
"My parents are like that, not to mention unconditional love, I even doubt whether they really love me. There are two kids in our family, my younger brother and I, and they love my brother more because he is the son they worked so hard to have, a son who could make them proud in front of family and friends, a son who could spend the New Year with them... I used to envy the love they gave him, but now I feel there’s nothing enviable about it. The love they gave him is no different than the love they gave me. If he were a girl like me, he would receive the same kind of love I do."
The girl, with eyes like fiery red, raised the corners of her mouth in a sarcastic smile.
"It’s precisely because of seeing them like this that I swore, unless I don’t get married and have children in the future, but as long as I have children, I will definitely strive to give my kids unconditional love, to accept them just as they are, no matter what kind of people they become, as long as they grow and live the way they want, I will support them, as long as they are willing to take responsibility for their own lives."
"That’s a great thought." Ning Youguang’s eyes showed admiration.
Li Yanran’s lips curled slightly, but quickly furrowed her brows, "Ms. Ning, I currently don’t have any plans to get married, nor do I want to fall in love. The thought of forming a family with another person makes me feel so vexed. Right now, I just want to study well, get good certifications, complete my college education, and then work hard to earn lots of money..."
At this point, Li Yanran self-deprecatingly said to Ning Youguang, "Teacher, I’m just so shallow, my mind is full of thoughts about money."
"Not at all, I don’t think wanting to make money is shallow. In life, when young people grow up and enter the world, needing to live independently, the first goal is usually to pursue profit, which means making money. How can you live without making money, right?" Ning Youguang chuckled as he said to Li Yanran, "Being an adult, or graduating from university, and still relying on parents, that’s what would be seen as shameful, not wanting to make money. Every young person who wants to be self-sufficient is worthy of praise. This is the first step in being willing to take on your own economic responsibility, and I think that’s fantastic."
Li Yanran’s indignant face finally showed some signs of a smile, "I hope I can stay in Beijing, work hard, so that I can earn more money."
"Then you should work hard." Ning Youguang smiled and said, "You’re so talented, I believe you’ll definitely achieve your wishes very soon."
Li Yanran is a senior student who Ning Youguang is teaching, about to graduate from undergraduate this year.
She has always been diligent and hardworking in school, already interning while preparing for her postgraduate entrance exams.
Once she graduates from her master’s program, with her talent and capabilities, staying in Beijing is within her reach.
"But teacher..." Li Yanran’s face showed an expression that seemed like she wanted to cry, "My parents insist that I go back to our hometown after graduating this year, refusing to let me pursue my master’s. Since the New Year, when they found out I wanted to continue, they scolded me harshly, not just themselves but also gathered relatives to join in. After the New Year, I barely managed to get away, yet they still frequently call just to berate me over my plans for further study, teacher, why can’t I communicate with them effectively no matter how hard I try?" 1314
