Chapter 88: Chapter 88 No-House Female Supporting Character 88_1

Zhang Yu was unaware that Zhang Xin had received her acceptance letter to study abroad, and even if she had known, she wouldn’t have been surprised.

After all, she herself had received an acceptance letter in her previous life, which changed her destiny.

But what did it matter to her? It had nothing to do with her at all.

The expenses for Zhang Xin’s overseas education were her own to consider, as well as something for Zhang Shouhua and his wife to think about.

As an aunt, all she could do for Zhang Xin’s study abroad was to give a red envelope and offer her best wishes.

After all, a young girl of such a tender age was going to study across the ocean, so some encouragement was indeed necessary.

As for financial matters, that was for Zhang Shouhua and his family of three to consider.

In recent years, Zhang Hong and her husband, because of Sun Jian, had taken out a loan to buy a house, fearing that Sun Jian, with his mediocre academic performance and ordinary work, would be unable to find a wife like Zhang Yi did.

The income of Zhang Shouhua and his wife was actually quite decent. Although both were teachers and they earned a fair amount from tutoring, their financial burdens were still heavy.

Zhang Yu did not know the exact annual income of Zhang Shouhua and his wife, but it was at least over two hundred thousand.

With such an income, the fact that they still hadn’t bought a house could only mean one thing: they were saving all their money in preparation for Zhang Xin’s education abroad.

Since Zhang Shouhua and his wife had already prepared enough money, it was even less likely for Zhang Yu to step forward and offer to sponsor Zhang Xin in any way.

To others, would it seem like she was trying to get Zhang Xin to remember to repay her after achieving success?

Zhang Yu had no such intention, and what’s more, she truly did not think Zhang Xin was a grateful child.

Even without the memories left by the original owner of her body, just the fact that Zhang Xin had been admitted to university was enough to make Zhang Yu displeased.

Zhang Shouhua and his wife, in their concern for Zhang Xin’s study abroad, had hardly allowed themselves to buy new clothes or dine out, saving every penny they could.

But was Zhang Xin on the same page as Zhang Shouhua and his parents? Had the girl ever considered how much money her family would need to prepare once she went abroad?

Zhang Yu felt that the girl had never considered this; otherwise, she would not be dining in expensive restaurants with some of her classmates.

Zhang Shouhua and his wife were so focused on earning and saving money to send Zhang Xin abroad for studies, wearing the cheapest clothes and hardly ever shopping at malls; even Du Xia hadn’t gone to a mall for a long time and bought clothes from small shops instead.

Therefore, the couple was unaware that the clothes Zhang Xin wore were expensive, with a single jacket costing more than all of Zhang Shouhua’s clothes combined.

If it had been once or twice, Zhang Yu could have assumed that the young girl was growing up and needed to socialize, thus requiring better clothes.

But the frequency with which she encountered it was too high, leading Zhang Yu to believe that the girl often bought expensive clothes.

She had never voiced this, not even to Wang Yun, for fear that the girl might carelessly let it slip out.

After all, in the eyes of Zhang Shouhua and his wife, Zhang Xin was perfect in every way; suddenly, if she were to claim that Zhang Xin’s clothes were all costly,

she was certain that, despite Zhang Shouhua and his wife’s shock, they would definitely continue to stand by Zhang Xin’s side, claiming they were aware and supportive of their daughter’s actions.

Even if Zhang Yu felt a bit sorry for Zhang Shouhua, she had no idea how Zhang Xin managed to get money from them, but since the couple hadn’t noticed anything amiss, she, as an aunt, naturally kept her mouth shut.

Zhang Yu was now thinking about where to go for this vacation because she had already made several trips across the ocean, considering Wang Yun’s future college enrollment.

Zhang Yu actually really wanted to go somewhere different, and Wang Yun had no objections on her part. As for where to study in the future, she had already made plans in her mind.

Although she didn’t ask, Zhang Yu knew the options were limited to just a few schools, including majors—she knew them all.

Probably because Wang Yun’s biological parents died of illness, she had said since childhood that she hoped to become a doctor.

Zhang Yu had never studied medicine, but she knew that becoming a doctor was truly no easy feat; otherwise, it wouldn’t be said that doctors are a high-paying profession.

As for Wang Yun’s aspiration, Zhang Yu was supportive in any case. Wanting to be a doctor was a good thing—having a doctor in the family meant that when problems arose, they wouldn’t need to panic.

"This summer vacation, should we go to Europe or Australia?"

"However, it’s winter there right now. The advantage is that if we go, we can go skiing."

But just thinking about the biting cold wind made Zhang Yu shiver. There’s no helping it—who likes winter, although she didn’t like summer either.

Wang Yun thought for a moment, then said, "Let’s not go after all. It’s winter there, and the switch from cold to hot isn’t good for grandpa’s health."

At this point in the original owner’s life, Zhang Dagu and his wife’s health had already started to deteriorate, experiencing discomfort here and there.

But now, their health was really great. They danced every day, practiced Tai Chi, and frequently gathered with old colleagues and friends. In short, they exuded an "our health is fantastic" kind of vibe.

Zhang Yu felt it might have to do with their mood. The original owner’s elderly couple had already moved to a new house.

But, because in their new home, there were too many items they couldn’t bear to throw away, the air quality was never particularly good.

Trying to save money, they never went out to socialize with old colleagues, as gatherings did cost money.

Zhang Yu was truly relieved that the elderly couple was in good health. Otherwise, she could be sure that Zhang Guohua and the others would be unified against her, arguing that she had a higher income, lower expenses, and should therefore contribute more.

Zhang Yu remembered the time when Zhang Guohua’s business was doing much better than now, albeit not developing spectacularly and compared them to how everyone was just getting by at their jobs currently.

Zhang Yu sometimes thought mischievously whether their fates were somehow intertwined in opposition. Was it that when she prospered, the others didn’t? If that was really the case, it would be quite an unexpected surprise, a huge one at that.

Zhang Yu sipped her coffee, enjoying the sunset outside. Recently, Wang Yun had gone out of town for a competition, so she had asked the nanny to come in every day to clean.

After work, she would casually eat something outside. It was rare for her to be the only one at home, and she wanted to savor the taste of solitude.

When she heard a knock at the door, she was stunned. Who could it be at this hour?

Zhang Yu put down her coffee cup, walked to the door, and through the peephole saw, to her surprise, it was Zhang Xin.

It truly was a shock. Since the time that child had gone abroad for a study tour and, as an aunt, Zhang Yu hadn’t given any money, their relationship could be said to have dropped to rock bottom.

To say it had entered a state of deep freeze wouldn’t be an exaggeration; aside from necessary greetings, Zhang Xin was in a state of ignoring Zhang Yu.

As for Zhang Xin’s behavior, Zhang Yu felt no burden. After all, they were just familiar strangers—an indifferent relationship was better.
