"Our country doesn't lack diplomats, it only lacks excellent diplomats. Jing'an, do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Jing'an wasn't stupid, so he naturally understood. He said, "Don't worry, Dad. I will become the best diplomat. Also, I will hide my feelings and will never affect her studies. But I can't cut off contact with her—the Gu family hasn't explicitly forbidden our two families from having any contact, has it? Perhaps I should ask, the Gu family hasn't forbidden me from having any contact with Zhou Xiaonian's brothers, has it?"
Xu Wenfu felt that his son was quite intelligent.
“Going back three generations, the Gu family has never produced a mediocre person. If you want to maintain a long-term relationship with the Gu family, the friendship between the children alone won't suffice. You need to—”
"I have to be outstanding, I have to be extremely outstanding, to be a childhood friend of the Gu family, to be Xiao Nian's childhood sweetheart, I know all that."
"It's good that you know. In short, just focus on being excellent. Once you become the top in the industry, you will be the focus of the world, and Zhou Xiaonian will naturally notice you and only have eyes for you."
"good."
The Xu family is working hard to teach their son to excel, but Zhou Xiaonian's goal is to build his own aircraft carrier.
“This goal is great, but very difficult to achieve. You may never be able to do it in your entire life,” Zhou Yue said. “You have to be prepared to study this your whole life, but never get any results.”
“Mom, I know this is difficult to achieve, but I believe that even if I can’t develop it in my lifetime, I can bring it a few steps closer to success. Mom, you have to have faith in me, you have to believe in me like Grandma does.”
"Yes, I will trust you just like my mother-in-law does."
As the Lunar New Year approached, Zhou Xiaonian suddenly noticed that her mother-in-law seemed a little absent-minded. After some probing, she confirmed, "Mother-in-law, do you want to go back to Jiangcheng for the New Year?"
Zhou Guiying was somewhat taken aback: "Go back to Jiangcheng? You and your mother are both here, and my family and relatives are all around me. Why would I go back to Jiangcheng?"
"Then why do you look so preoccupied?"
Zhou Guiying patted her head: "You're still young, so don't ask too many questions."
"Is it about Aunt Yingzi?" Zhou Xiaonian said, "I called Grandma Zhong a couple of days ago, and she told me that Aunt Yingzi's husband was unfaithful to her and even brought home the son he had with another woman, wanting her to acknowledge him."
Zhou Guiying pursed her lips, feeling very resentful towards Aunt Zhong. Xiao Nian was still a child, how could she tell Xiao Nian all these things?
"Don't blame Grandma Zhong. I felt something was wrong when I was on the phone with Aunt Yingzi, so I called Grandma Zhong. I begged her for a long time before she told me."
Zhou Xiaonian said, "Aunt Yingzi wants a divorce. Her mother agrees, but her father refuses because he doesn't dare to offend the Gao family. He's afraid that if the divorce becomes a big deal, it will affect Gao Yongde's career and he'll face retaliation from the Gao family."
"Gao Yongde is not that kind of person."
“Maybe not before, but who knows now? How long has it been since you last saw him? Mother-in-law, people change.”
Zhou Guiying pursed her lips.
Yes, people change. Her son, whom she was once so proud of, later turned into a piece of trash, didn't he?
“My aunt wants a divorce, and the Gao family is the only obstacle. As long as the Gao family can’t be an obstacle, my aunt can leave the Gao family smoothly,” Zhou Xiaonian said. “So I plan to go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow to bring my aunt home.”
