A few years later, news came from the capital that the An family and the Zhao family had gone bankrupt one after another. It was said that An Wen and Zhao Xuanxuan were directly arranged to marry by their families. Of course, the men they married had no other merits besides being rich.
As long as they get married, both families can receive a large dowry. Although it can't be restored to the way it was before, it can still ensure that the married woman can live a life free from financial worries.
It is said that An Wen accepted her fate and went abroad after marrying a man.
An Jia also went to the south to develop her career, which can be considered as her voluntary withdrawal from the Beijing circle.
However, Zhao Xuanxuan escaped, but was quickly caught and brought back. She was then forced into the bridal chamber, and what happened after that remains to be seen.
The Zhao family had no choice but to leave the capital, effectively being forced to withdraw from Beijing's social circles.
When Le Yao heard the news, she simply sighed and didn't offer any opinion; it was all a matter of fate for each person.
The final exams lasted two and a half days. After they ended, the students didn't wait for their grades and started packing up to go home, since they could check their scores on the learning app later.
Moreover, the winter break is short, and for some students who live far away, the journey can take a long time. If they don't make the most of their time, they won't be able to stay at home for more than a few days before the Lunar New Year, and then they'll have to go back to school very soon.
The school is very considerate. They had the class leaders in each class collect a list of students who needed to book train tickets in advance, since booking tickets is very difficult during the Spring Festival travel rush. The school then helped the students book their train tickets, and everyone can just go to the train station to pick them up with their ID cards.
“Alan, I’m going to the capital for Chinese New Year this year. Will you come with me?” Qian Meiqi asked Le Yao. “We can get together in the capital then.”
"Why are you going to the capital for the New Year?" Yue Yao asked, puzzled. "Don't you deserve to spend the New Year with your parents?"
“My uncle was transferred to the capital, right? I guess he won’t be transferred out again. So he took my maternal grandparents with him. My parents said we’ll go to the capital for Chinese New Year this year. Anyway, there’s hardly anyone left at my grandparents’ side. There’s just one troublesome aunt left, and my mom doesn’t like to talk to her. Going to the capital is a good thing, so we won’t have to make her go back to her parents’ home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.”
Customs vary from place to place. In Xiling City, it is customary for married daughters to return to their parents' home on the third day of the Lunar New Year, but in many other places, the custom is for them to return on the second day.
Qian Meiqi's aunt is called Qian Baomei. She is ten years younger than her father, Qian Baokun. After her grandparents passed away, her older brother and sister-in-law raised her.
But this girl is a drama queen.
She married a good man, but she disliked his dullness and cheated on him after only two years of marriage. However, she was just playing around at the time, and later she repented and admitted her mistake, so her former uncle forgave her, especially since they already had a two-year-old child.
Who knew that the woman only stayed quiet for a few years. Two years ago, she fell for a young man and divorced her former uncle. She didn't even want the child. She was almost forty years old and was actually pursuing true love.
Enraged, Qian Baokun cut off his sister's financial support.
Although they were divorced, Qian Baokun thought his ex-brother-in-law was a good person, hardworking and reliable, so he kept him working in the company, and now he's a minor manager.
Last year, Zhao Xinyue introduced him to a woman. Although she was from the countryside, she was reasonable and literate. The two got together and she treated her son very well. At the beginning of this year, she gave birth to a daughter, and the family of four lived a very happy life.
