Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 91 No House Female Match _1

Zhang Yu quickly finished the call with Zhang Shouhua, and at the moment she hung up, "I figured I should know what your dad said."

"Your dad said the money for your education, plus your scholarship, should be enough to cover your graduate studies over there."

"I also told your dad that, being a family, we should communicate properly on certain matters."

"While it’s true that parents shouldn’t reveal all their savings and family wealth to their children, when it comes to expenses like studying abroad, there’s no need to hide it."

"You have to talk to your children about these things properly, otherwise it will cause confusion." Zhang Yu shifted the blame onto Zhang Shouhua.

Zhang Xin was cursing in her heart, feeling that Zhang Shouhua was an idiot. If it were Du Xia, she could have cooperated perfectly.

But now all she could do was swallow her losses, "It’s my impatience, little aunt, you know how frugal my parents usually are."

"You take Xiao Yun all over the place, even abroad, while my parents just work and save, never willing to spend on travel."

Zhang Xin’s words were laden with double meanings, hmph, still her aunt, yet so stingy towards her ambitious niece.

Although resentful, she admitted that Wang Yun’s academic performance was excellent, but so what? She didn’t change her last name and still visited her biological parents’ grave every year.

What does that tell you? That in her heart, the ones who rank first are still the parents who gave birth to her.

Hmph, just wait till Wang Yun becomes successful, and after studying abroad stays overseas to live; that’ll be when Zhang Yu starts crying.

Zhang Xin believed she would see such a scene in her lifetime, and then she would certainly ridicule her thoroughly.

When that time comes, she wouldn’t bother looking after and caring for Zhang Yu; not kicking her while she’s down would be the extent of her generosity.

Although Zhang Yu didn’t know what Zhang Xin was thinking, from her expression, she could tell she was imagining how desolate her old age would be.

As Wang Yun grew up day by day, in everyone’s eyes, Zhang Yu seemed to have spent so much on her adopted daughter, being labeled a fool who would surely regret it.

Zhang Yu herself was unsure whether Wang Yun would be good to her in the future, but she had made the best and most ample preparations for her own retirement.

Certainly, it would be better than the original situation; she wouldn’t be left with nothing to rely on or nowhere to live in her old age.

Zhang Yu sipped her tea with a smile, watching Zhang Xin’s face changing non-stop, okay, it felt quite good.

"It’s getting late, I still have work to deal with, what about you?" Watching her change faces was interesting, but after a while, it became less so.

Better to focus on the stock market; by studying it carefully, I can further increase my wealth, ensuring a comfortable retirement.

Yes, Zhang Yu had already achieved financial independence. The reason she hadn’t quit her job wasn’t only for fear of becoming lazy and aimless but also to avoid being expected to take care of Zhang Dagu and his wife.

Just going to leave like this? Zhang Xin didn’t have time to think about Zhang Yu’s bleak future; if she couldn’t secure financial support, her own overseas life would undoubtedly be bleak.

What to do? She must try to persuade Zhang Yu to provide sponsorship. Suddenly, she came up with an idea.

No matter the outcome, she must make one last attempt, "Little aunt, you know that I study Economics, and I’m going abroad to advance in this field."

"After graduation, I plan to work in investment banking on Wall Street."

"You know about Wall Street, right?" Zhang Xin said quickly.

Hearing that, Zhang Yu rolled her eyes without hesitation, "Though I’m not in finance, I know about Wall Street."

"When I went to America, I even visited there." Compared to Zhang Xin, who just knew of the place, Zhang Yu smugly indicated that she didn’t just know of it, she had been there.

Zhang Xin was very displeased, feeling as if she had been looked down upon.

But for the sake of investment, she could only endure it and gave an awkward smile, "Yeah, I’m silly too, I forgot that my aunt has been over there so many times, she definitely must have taken a few tours of Wall Street."

Damn, Zhang Xin suddenly remembered something very important; it was that Zhang Yu worked in finance, which could also be said to be related to the economy.

Here she was taking Wang Yun on a tour of Wall Street, and when you put these two things together, what did it imply?

It implied that Wang Yun’s future major in college was almost certainly going to be finance.

Suddenly, Zhang Xin’s entire mood soured, wondering why she insisted on going abroad for graduate studies, even when other schools offered full scholarships, but she still turned them down.

It was because she knew that to get into investment banking in China, capability was utterly unimportant; what mattered were connections, your family background.

Just because Zhang Shouhua and his wife were ordinary high school teachers, one could tell that their connections could never help her in any way.

Not to mention that her own abilities were not impressive enough to dazzle anyone. An unwilling Zhang Xin had no choice but to study abroad.

She aimed to get into a prestigious university for graduate school, graduate with excellent grades, work in a large investment bank for a few years to build up enough connections, and then return to develop her career in China.

By that time, she was certain she could make a big splash in the domestic market and meet a man from a wealthy family, transforming into a glamorous rich wife.

This was the target she set for herself within the first half-year of college, but unexpectedly, Wang Yun was also planning to major in finance.

With the support of Zhang Yu, who worked in a big company, Wang Yun, upon returning from an overseas prestigious school, would definitely land a good job.

Zhang Xin felt so annoyed, so bothered by the fact that her own aunt, of all people, did not stand by her side to help her.

Why start changing your face now? At first, it seemed interesting, but after watching a few times, Zhang Yu started to feel really irritated and utterly reluctant to keep looking.

"Zhang Xin, what’s the matter with you?" Zhang Yu spoke up, "Do you need to go back and handle some things?"

You’ve been given a way out, just take it. Zhang Yu felt Zhang Xin’s pretending to be clueless was genuinely annoying.

She disliked her so much, she really felt like being blunt and telling her to leave.

Zhang Xin quickly snapped back to reality, "Auntie, I know that Wang Yun will also be studying finance in the future and will work on Wall Street."

"But I will show you that I am better than her."

"My aunt, that is, you, have done very well in investment, and as your own niece, I am definitely talented in this field."

"Even if Wang Yun has grown up by your side, I’m confident that I will outperform her."

"Auntie, if you can invest in her education, why can’t you invest in me?"

"I will show you that investing in me will not be a loss, and I will definitely repay you."

Zhang Xin felt she had been foolish, not getting straight to the point before, but now that she realized it, she, of course, wanted to work towards that.

Investing in Wang Yun is an investment, and there’s no reason not to invest in her.

Once she got the money in hand, did she need to bother with Zhang Yu anymore? Could Zhang Yu actually chase her down for the money?

She didn’t believe that Zhang Yu would make a big fuss about it, anyway, she would insist that it was a congratulatory red envelope for getting into a prestigious school.

There were only the two of them here, who could prove whose words were right.
