Chapter 969 - 971: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate
Chapter 969: Chapter 971: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate Gong Jiaxin looked at Gong Ruini nervously, "Will it work?"
"Why wouldn’t it work?" Gong Ruini had indeed been very busy lately, and besides not attending classes, she hadn’t told Gong Jiaxin about this matter.
Fortunately, Gong Jiaxin didn’t overthink, otherwise, if this got to Miao Cuihua and the others, they might think too much about it.
Might they think it was to keep Gong Jiaming and the others from learning more by keeping things from them?
"Actually, my parents are both learning, of course not with foreigners." If she hadn’t happened to come across it once, she wouldn’t have believed it if her own father was indeed studying foreign languages.
Although they said they were worried about failing and being laughed at, Gong Ruini really felt there was no need to care about others’ opinions, as long as they’re enjoying themselves.
Moreover, learning English now might allow them to communicate a bit with foreigners, not expecting a full conversation without a translator, at least say a few words.
No way, really scared by what Gong Ruini said, even her second uncle and aunt were learning a foreign language, but thinking about it, it’s not surprising.
All along, didn’t second uncle and aunt work hard studying while others were playing around? Otherwise, their foundation wasn’t as good as fourth uncle’s, but they still got such good scores to attend university.
As for her fourth uncle, though grandmother kept saying fourth uncle was smart, based on his performance in recent years, Gong Jiaxin really wasn’t optimistic.
"Looks like I should suggest this to Mom and Dad." Whether they’ll really be willing to put down their pride and study even a little.
"Actually, if they really plan to develop in Shen City, there’ll be many foreigners there, and opportunities won’t be lacking." Gong Ruini always thought Gong Zhuang and the others should follow Gong Jiaming and his sisters.
What, Mom and Dad are planning to go to Shen City? Of course, Gong Jiaxin knew this place, they went several times a year, including the clothes they wear now, if Dad didn’t buy them in Yangcheng, Mom would take them to Shen City to buy.
"If Dad hadn’t bought a house in Beijing, they should’ve gone where opportunities lay, but now..." Most of their family’s investments were in Beijing, then Dad suddenly dropped a bomb saying they planned to develop in Shen City, which was surprisingly shocking.
"No, we had no idea." Gong Jiaxin was certain her dad hadn’t told her mom, or Mom would have said they’d come to Beijing soon.
If this were true, Dad would have done something behind her mom’s back. Gong Jiaxin could only hope Dad didn’t do many stupid things, or Mom would most certainly want to tear him apart.
What could Gong Ruini say, she did hear Gong Tao mention it, him urging Gong Zhuang to develop in Shen City, saying there were more opportunities there, and more importantly, they could expand their careers separately in different cities.
Although Gong Zhuang willingly went to Shen City, it was definitely without Dad’s urging and coaxing.
To avoid getting involved in Gong Zhuang’s family’s affairs, Gong Ruini certainly kept praising Shen City.
How could Gong Jiaxin not know the benefits of Shen City, if it weren’t good, Mom wouldn’t have said to develop there initially, "I know it’s good, but they’re not in Beijing, I’m worried..."
Gong Jiaxin really felt exhausted, even though she was just a child, needing care, why did she have to worry so much?
It seems Gong Jiaming hasn’t given her much to worry about lately, Gong Ruini got pen and paper to note this down, ensuring Zhao Xuran keeps an eye on it.
"Forget it, it’s not something I can meddle with, if it’s really not bad, I think I agree." After all, parents have their own careers.
Now even they plan to learn spoken English, maybe they’ll study abroad someday, leaving Mom and Dad in Beijing alone would hinder their careers.
Gong Jiaxin calculated that her parents’ business either competed with Cai Ming or her second uncle, rather than competing with family, it’d be better to start somewhere nice.
Having figured it out, Gong Jiaxin left excitedly, Gong Ruini breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest.
"You just think too much." Zhao Xuran came out from behind the bookshelf.
Sigh, this man doesn’t think too much, Heaven really favored him, not only giving him a clever mind but also great luck, wasn’t he a Heaven’s illegitimate child?
Sometimes Gong Ruini truly felt a mix of envy and resentment, "I’m not overthinking, with them siblings in Beijing, if I slip up and they tell Uncle Gong and his wife, wouldn’t it highlight my shortcomings?"
"I don’t mind, but my Dad would." Gong Ruini believed she had many by her side who could accompany her, especially Zhao Xuran.
But Gong Tao was different, even though he hated Zhang Lan, at her funeral, he cried so sorrowfully.
"Where parents are, that’s home, now with Grandmother gone, relationships with Uncle, Aunt, and younger Uncle aren’t good, only with Gong Family..."
Maybe Gong Tao would reassure them it’s okay, but there’s no need to make little things upset everyone.
This is Uncle Gong, who always says he won’t get involved with Zhang Lan but would still diligently send money home monthly.
"Actually, I think Sister Xiao Xin should learn a foreign language well, if possible, maybe she should go abroad after high school." See if she can study fashion design in Europe.
Although they initially thought Gong Jiaxin would study abroad after college, maybe by then, her thoughts would have settled, better to send her out early to experience new things.
Perhaps the path would be hard at first, but as long as she perseveres and works for a good brand for a few years, then Gong Jiaxin can return to start her own studio.
Even if some might find her style lacking, her past work experience should attract a crowd.
High school graduation to study abroad, Zhao Xuran was surprised, not that it shouldn’t happen but, "Have you considered she’d need to learn the language first, then take exams there?"
Zhao Xuran wasn’t sure how much was needed to study that major abroad, but several years’ living expenses wouldn’t be cheap, "It’s not impossible to work, but it might hinder studies."
Zhao Xuran never believed someone could work and ace their studies, that’s unrealistic unless they’re exceptionally smart.
But if someone’s really that bright, why wouldn’t they study hard to earn a scholarship, which is said to be quite generous.
"I believe Sister Xiao Xin knows how to choose." Gong Ruini believed the smart Gong Jiaxin knows what to choose.
