Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Not Going to the Capital City to Study
“Sweetheart, if you want to go study in Capital City, your dad and I support you, but I can’t go with you to Capital City for now,” Su Wanyu said with a look of regret on her face.
On hearing this, Jiang Mianmian blinked her big eyes, not understanding, and asked, “Why, Mom? Grandpa Yu said he could transfer your job to Capital City, so we could go together.”
Su Wanyu spoke somberly, “Sweetheart, of course, I want to go with you! It’s just that before your grandfather passed away, he predicted that until I’m thirty, I should only travel south and not north, otherwise it could lead to trouble, and I am 28 this year.”
“Ah? There’s such a thing?” Jiang Mianmian looked at her mom in shock, hearing about this for the first time.
“Yes, sweetheart, I knew about this too, but never mentioned it since our family lived here and it was unlikely we would all move north. But we never expected you to be so promising that Elder Yu personally invited you to Capital City,” Jiang Changhai said, his smile almost reaching his ears.
Heh, his girl might really make it big!
Although Su Wanyu was reluctant to let her daughter leave, she didn’t want to hinder her growth.
Trying to suppress her own reluctance, she said earnestly, “Sweetheart, it’s okay, even though your dad and I can’t go, it shouldn’t stop you. Going to Capital City is indeed beneficial for your future; the teachers there are certainly of higher quality than here, as they say, ‘Fine teachers produce fine students.’ Plus, you can return home during the winter and summer breaks, so we respect your choice.”
“Mom and Dad, but I can’t bear to leave you guys. Never mind, I won’t go. Let’s wait another two years, till mom turns thirty, then the three of us can go to Capital City together,” Jiang Mianmian said, sitting between her parents and hugging their arms, acting coquettishly.
As soon as Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu heard she was not leaving, smiles immediately appeared on their faces; honestly, they really couldn’t bear to part with their daughter.
Even in the mere ten days they were apart, they would dream about her at night.
If she really went to Capital City for school, being away for months, they probably wouldn’t have the heart to focus on anything at home.
Su Wanyu felt overjoyed seeing her daughter forgo the opportunity for Capital City for their sake.
“Sweetheart, actually, we don’t necessarily have to go to Capital City. Look how smart you are, wherever you study, you’re sure to get into a good university.”
“Yes, sweetheart, your dad believes that with your clever mind, by the time the college entrance exams come around, you’ll definitely bring us a top score, and then, not just universities in Capital City, even overseas universities would be within your reach,” Jiang Changhai said excitedly.
Jiang Mianmian, seeing how happy her parents were, realized they had suggested she go to Capital City just out of fear of holding her back.
“Mm, Mom and Dad, you’re right, I also believe that I can certainly get into my dream university through my own efforts,” Jiang Mianmian declared confidently.
“That’s right, my girl has that strength,” Jiang Changhai said, fully supportive.
Jiang Mianmian, pleased with herself, then said, “Mom and Dad, since we’ve decided not to go, I’ll give Grandpa Yu a call to let him know.”
“Right, we should inform him first,” Su Wanyu agreed, nodding.
Jiang Mianmian dialed the Yu Family’s number; Aunt Sun answered, Yu Cheng had already returned to the training base.
“Hello, Aunt Sun, this is Mianmian. Is Grandpa Yu there? I have something to tell him.”
