Chapter 803 I've traveled across the ocean to see you (13)

The little girl couldn't stop smiling. "I love it! I'm going to show it to my mom."

After saying that, she ran to the kitchen.

“This thing is not cheap. The child is still young, there is no need to spend so much money on her.”

"It's only a little over 100,000. Those are just small diamond fragments, they look nice but aren't worth much."

Even for their family, over 100,000 yuan is a considerable sum, considering their daughter is already four years old and only owns a few pieces of valuable jewelry.

Ning Jia glanced at the dazzling bracelet in her daughter's little hand, immediately washed her hands, picked up the child, and went to the living room. "Isn't this a bit too much for you? This bracelet isn't cheap. How could you be so willing to spend it?"

Ning Yan smiled and said, "Do you think everyone is like you? I was reluctant to spend money before because I didn't have enough, okay?"

Only the family knows its own affairs.

When Ning Jia and Tan Heng started dating, Tan Heng's parents strongly opposed it. It was only because Ning Jia had the means to win Tan Heng's heart that the Tan family finally agreed to their marriage, and because they couldn't control their son Ning Jia's pregnancy. Otherwise, their relationship would have fallen through long ago.

After getting married, her second sister worked for a while; without working, she had no money to spend.

At that time, the Tan family's total assets were only seventy or eighty million. It was impossible for the family to give the property directly to the son and daughter-in-law after the daughter-in-law married into such a family. Even Tan Heng could only ask his family for pocket money.

Fortunately, Ning Jia became pregnant with a big, healthy boy not long after her marriage. In addition, she unconditionally helped her family, which gradually changed their attitude towards her and even entrusted her with the management of a small factory.

In reality, they only look glamorous on the outside, living in villas and driving luxury cars. In terms of money, having three to five million is considered a lot for them.

So you're rich now?

Ning Yan: "We still have enough money to buy Yueyue a gift."

Ning Jia laughed and sat down next to her sister. "You really broke up with Xiang Zhibin?"

"How could this be fake?"

"It's good that you broke up. I always thought that guy was unreliable. If he cared about you even a little, he wouldn't have gone abroad for five years without coming back to see you even once."

When your brother-in-law and I were dating, we couldn't bear to be apart for even a minute. We were like we had a skin hunger disorder, and we even wanted to hold hands while eating.

You two don't seem like you're in a relationship at all.

You're terrible at judging men.

Ning Yan was convinced; the original owner's taste in men was indeed no match for her second sister's.

"Here, I bought you a few outfits. Would you like to try them on?"

Ning Jia was somewhat disgusted before unfolding the clothes, because her younger sister's taste was limited and the clothes she bought were old-fashioned and ugly. But after unfolding the dresses one by one, her eyes lit up immediately, "Isn't this the latest style from S brand?"

"What else?"

What else? According to your standards of appreciation…

No, she was wrong. It wasn't that her younger sister lacked taste; it was that her wallet couldn't support her going to those high-end stores to pick out clothes.

"Oh, and I also have matching watches for you and your brother-in-law."

Ning Jia could tell from the brand that both watches cost over 100,000 yuan. She thanked her sister apologetically, "Thank you, Yan Yan."

"Can you stop making that face at me? We're sisters. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can lend me money without making a fuss when I need it."

Seriously, if your own siblings are willing to lend you money without worry, they are good relatives. Some people would even refuse to lend you money if you offered interest. Her sister, at least, knew that her school fees were hard to pay, so she was eager to lend her money without asking for interest.

If brothers borrow from each other and repay, it's easy to borrow again. But if you only know how to take advantage, then the relationship will end.

Ning Jia's eyes welled up with tears. She hadn't expected that her sister wouldn't care at all, even though she had been so heartless. She was deeply moved. "Okay, fine, you brat, I won't stand on ceremony with you anymore. I just hope you make a fortune in the future, and I'll follow you around and have a taste of your success."

If she had money of her own, why would she care about what her in-laws thought?

She doesn't even care about men!

But she had no choice. Her background was what it was, and she couldn't get into a top university. She didn't want to live a hard life, and she didn't want to be like her older brother, spending all her time working overtime in a factory, tightening screws, just to afford a house.

The best man she could hold onto was Tan Heng, and she had truly fallen in love with him.

So she acted decisively and captured Tan Heng.

Although marrying into the Tan family wasn't exactly what she wanted, she didn't regret it.

Because her two children will never have to live a hard life like the three brothers, they can ride in luxury cars and live in villas, and if they don't do well in school, they can attend any tutoring class they want, or hire a tutor to teach them. She doesn't think she has done anything wrong.

"Alright, I'll not only give you soup, but I'll also give you two pieces of meat!"

Little Yueyue got anxious, "Mom loves to eat meat, and two pieces aren't enough. I'll give all my meat to Mom."

The two sisters burst into laughter immediately upon hearing this. The little girl, not knowing what her mother and aunt were laughing about, joined in the laughter.

After laughing enough, Ning Yan took out the pretty dress she had bought for the little girl and let her try it on, which made the little girl very happy.

For lunch, Ning's mother prepared fourteen dishes, filling the large round table at home.

Tan Heng, who drinks, had a couple of drinks with Ning's father. The two sisters then talked about Ning Yan's job, with Tan Heng asking, "Is your procurement team reliable?"

"The person behind me is a big boss, and the next step is to acquire Xinhua Electronics Factory."

"Xinhua Electronics? Isn't that the factory where my brother makes screws?"

Ning Yan nodded. She had money. If she gave money openly, she might be grateful but if she gave too much, she might resent it. So she would do it secretly. Her older brother's factory was doing quite well, so she wouldn't lose money if she bought it.

"You're obviously acting out of self-interest. Don't tell me this factory selection has nothing to do with you."

Ning's father didn't even bother to drink his wine, and listened intently to the two sisters' conversation.

"The boss needs an electronics factory, so what difference does it make which one to buy? I'm just offering a suggestion; whether it will work out is still uncertain."

Currently, she only has one idea: whether to directly establish a company to acquire Xinhua or to directly become the largest shareholder. She hasn't decided yet.

Ning Jia took two glasses, filled them with baijiu (Chinese liquor), gave one to her younger sister, and raised the other to clink glasses with Ning Yan, saying, "You're better than your older sister!"

Ning Yan smiled brightly, "I spent more than 100,000 yuan more on my college education than you, so naturally the return should be more."

Why did Ning Jia support her younger sister's decision to attend a third-tier university and even lend her tuition fees?

Because she had also passed the undergraduate entrance exam.

However, she only scored four points above the cutoff, so she couldn't get into a second-tier university and could only get into a third-tier one. The tuition was too expensive for her family, so she applied to a public vocational college.

I thought that graduating with a bachelor's degree is different from graduating with a junior college degree, and that it would be easier for my sister to find a job in the future. I didn't want my sister to suffer the same hardships that I had gone through.

"Well, it seems we still have to make the kids study hard. Those who go to university are definitely better than those who go to vocational college."

Actually, none of their children seem to be particularly intelligent. The eldest brother graduated from vocational high school, and she practically studied herself to the bone for three years of high school, only scoring a little over 450 on the college entrance exam. The younger sister fared a bit better, but still only got into a third-tier university. In fact, all three of them studied very hard because they all knew that studying was their only way out.

Unfortunately, the results were still not ideal.
