Chapter 717: Chapter 717 None of Them Are Good
Jiang Changhai was close by, so with a stretch of his arm, he picked up the phone.
“Hello, this is the Jiang Changhai residence. Who are you looking for?”
“Uncle Jiang, this is Yu Cheng. I have something to discuss with Mianmian.” Yu Cheng’s voice came through the receiver.
Hearing it was Yu Cheng, Mianmian happily ran to take the phone.
“Hello, Brother Yu, have you returned from training?” Mianmian asked sweetly, hugging the phone.
Jiang Changhai looked at his empty right hand and felt a sour twitch in his heart.
As expected, no youngster was ever up to any good!
Little did he know, Yu Cheng was also feeling down, “Yes, I just got back. Mianmian, I heard from Aunt Sun that you’re not coming to study in Capital City?”
He had called immediately after hearing about it from Aunt Sun upon returning from training.
Mianmian could tell Yu Cheng was upset, so she stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, “Brother Yu, I really have my reasons. But I promise, when I go to university, I’ll definitely study in Capital City, and I’ll come to visit you every summer vacation!”
“Alright then, you also need to study hard at home and try to come to Capital City as soon as possible.”
Yu Cheng was not a sentimental person. Even though he secretly wished for Little Lamb to come study in Capital City, he still respected her personal wishes.
And considering Little Lamb’s rate of advancing grades over the years, she would probably be able to come to Capital City very soon.
Moreover, she was being so soft and sweet in cajoling him.
“Yes, Brother Yu, don’t worry. I’ll definitely work hard to get into Capital University! Oh, Brother Yu, I have good news. My parents want me to have a better education, so they’ve decided that after my middle school exams, our family will move to the city, and I’ll attend City First Middle School.” Mianmian shared this great news with Yu Cheng as soon as she had cheered him up.
Yu Cheng responded, “Studying in the city is also good. Although it’s not as good as Capital City, it’s still better than the town school.”
“Yeah, my dad is even quitting his job at the transportation company to move with me, and my mom is also pushing hard to get a transfer to the city to work as a translator,” Mianmian continued, discussing how her parents were supporting her education.
Yu Cheng just listened quietly to her chatter, not minding her fuss.
But he hadn’t eaten since returning from training, and soon Aunt Sun called him to eat.
Hearing Aunt Sun, Mianmian quickly said, “Brother Yu, you should go eat. Let’s chat another day when you have time.”
“Okay, I’ll go eat now.”
Seeing his daughter hang up, Jiang Changhai teasingly asked, “What’s up? Did Brother Yu ask why you aren’t going to study in Capital City?”
He had heard every bit of their conversation while sitting nearby.
Mianmian blinked, “Yeah, I told him that my parents are the most important, and wherever you are, I’ll be there.”
“Hehe, I knew my daughter was the sweetest!” Upon hearing this, Jiang Changhai was immediately over the moon, feeling not the slightest bit sour anymore.
“Then I’m off to study in my room.”
“Go on, but don’t study too late and tire yourself out.”
Mianmian went in to study, while the adults continued watching TV. But soon, neighbors came knocking.
“Xiao Jiang, Xiao Su, are you watching TV?” Wang Li’s Mother, leading the way, looked at them with a smiling face and asked.
“Yes, sister-in-law, Aunt Li, Auntie Wang, please come in and have a seat.”
Su Wanyu warmly welcomed the visitors inside, while Jiang Changhai tactfully got up and went back to his room, leaving the living room to the ladies.
