"Sister-in-law, Liu Jin has money with him. Chen Ming helped him exchange it for Daola, so don't worry," Yan Xiaonan said.
Xuemei was confused by Yan Xiaonan's explanation of "Daola": "Nannan, what is Daola?"
Yan Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Sister-in-law, it's that country's currency. Our Xia country's currency isn't accepted there."
Xuemei was still a little confused. Aren't all the same money? How could it not be interchangeable? This place is really too awful.
Yan Xiaonan smiled with her lips pursed. The two of them followed behind Ye Chenming and Liu Jin empty-handed, watching Ye Chenming help check in the luggage and change the boarding passes, while Liu Jin kept a close eye on them and made sure to remember everything.
Just as Yan Xiaonan was about to talk to Liu Jin about the situation in the United States, a girl ran over and said, "Yan Chi, Yan Chi, wait for me."
Liu Jin looked up and saw that it was his classmate Zhang Mengdie: "Zhang Mengdie, what brings you here?"
Zhang Mengdie, panting heavily, stopped and exhaled a few breaths before saying, "Yan Chi, you've gone too far! You didn't even tell me you were going abroad; it was Dean Tan who told me."
Liu Jin felt a little guilty. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but he didn't want to talk about it until things succeeded. He didn't want to be embarrassed if things failed.
But after he succeeded, he forgot to mention it again. He was just too busy to think about it: "I'm sorry, I forgot about Zhang Mengdie."
Zhang Mengdie pouted angrily, but she didn't stay angry for long before saying, "Can you write to me when you get there? If so, I'd like to apply to go there next year too."
Liu Jin's eyes lit up: "Zhang Mengdie, do you also want to study abroad there?"
Zhang Mengdie nodded and said, "I've thought about it, I want to be an actress too, you have to write to me!"
Liu Jin laughed. Writing a letter is fine, it's not a big deal. He'll write down the situation over there. It's just that the tuition is very expensive. Should we tell Zhang Mengdie about it? Hmm, we'll talk about it when we get there.
Yan Xiaonan looked at the little girl and felt that she looked familiar. Suddenly she remembered that she seemed to have seen a picture of this girl when she went to catch Laifu.
However, the photo she saw was torn in half, so she frowned and asked, "Young lady, who is Laifu to you?"
Zhang Mengdie was stunned. She glanced at Yan Xiaonan, and her eyes lit up with excitement: "You must be Yan Chi's aunt. Yan Chi said he looks like you, and it's true. Aunt Nannan, you're so beautiful."
Yan Xiaonan "... ..."
Liu Jin's heart skipped a beat. He knew about Grandma Wang's situation. If Lai Fu really had a relationship with Zhang Mengdie, then he needed to seriously consider whether it was necessary to continue associating with Zhang Mengdie.
"Zhang Mengdie, my aunt is asking you a question. What is your relationship with Laifu?" Liu Jin said anxiously.
Zhang Mengdie's expression also turned sour: "Aunt Nan, Laifu is my cousin, my uncle's son. Because of my stepmother, my family has severed ties with their family."
Yan Xiaonan was somewhat surprised, while Yan Chi was bursting with curiosity. However, time was limited, and it wouldn't hurt to ask during future communications.
Ye Chenming nodded. He knew about this matter. The Zhang family had some influence in the capital back then, but the reason they were hindering their progress was indeed due to serious internal family conflicts.
Since Ye Chenming already knew, Yan Xiaonan didn't ask any further questions, after all, they were seeing him off at the airport and time was of the essence.
"Liu Jin, focus on your studies. We can talk about other things when you get back," Yan Xiaonan said decisively.
Liu Jin nodded, picked up his backpack, and went through security. Xue Mei wiped away her tears and shouted, "Take good care of yourself, don't miss home, and call me back if anything happens."
Liu Jin turned around and smiled: "Mom, Aunt, Uncle, take care, goodbye."
Zhang Mengdie watched helplessly as the boy she liked drifted further and further away from her, her heart breaking. At the same time, she made up her mind that she must get into this academy.
With a smile, Zhang Mengdie greeted Yan Xiaonan and the others before leaving. She knew that her parents and grandparents would definitely help her.
On the way home, Yan Xiaonan couldn't wait to ask Ye Chenming about Zhang Mengdie's family affairs. If the Zhang family's affairs were too complicated, she would have to persuade Liu Jin to change his mind.
Xuemei felt the same way. She only had one son and one daughter, and her biggest wish was for her children to develop well and not get entangled with bad people and bad things.
Seeing the intense curiosity of Nan Nan and Xue Mei, Ye Chenming organized his thoughts and began to explain the situation of Zhang Mengdie's family:
It turns out that Zhang Mengdie's grandfather, Old Man Zhang, was from the same military region as Xue Honggen, and was also a major general. He was a decent person.
Old Zhang had two sons and a daughter. His eldest son and daughter were his children from his first marriage. After his first wife died of illness, she left behind two young children. For the sake of his children, he married a woman who was more than ten years younger than him.
The woman was petite and delicate, and seemed kind and easy to get along with. But as time went on, you would find that she was as cunning as a sieve, and you could easily fall into her trap.
When she first entered the family, she was still able to maintain a decent relationship with the two children left by her ex-wife, at least in terms of their reputation within the compound. But everything changed when her own youngest son was born.
Her face was still the same, smiling and harmless, but all she did all day long was think about setting traps for the two children, enticing them to make mistakes, and then she would pretend to be a good person, spouting both good and bad words from her eloquent mouth.
It's said that with a stepmother comes a stepfather. Under this woman's instigation, Old Man Zhang's feelings towards the two siblings changed, and his gaze towards them gradually turned cold. Fortunately, it didn't go too far.
As the siblings grew up, the older sister, Zhang Min, was quite clever. She knew that her stepmother's purpose was simply to kick her and her younger brother, Zhang Jun, out of the house so that she could make room for her youngest son. So she decided to go along with her wishes.
Finally, when she turned sixteen, Zhang Min immediately signed up for the army's cultural troupe, diligently practicing dancing and singing, and eventually became a pillar of the troupe.
Because of her outstanding qualities, she caught the eye of an officer in the military region and naturally married him, leading a very happy and fulfilling life.
A year later, when her younger brother Zhang Jun reached the required age, she also had him enlist in the army, as only by joining the army could he temporarily leave this home.
After joining the army, Zhang Jun was diligent, hardworking, and able to endure hardship. He rose through the ranks based on his own abilities and eventually became a company commander.
Good men naturally attract the attention of kind-hearted people. One of the wives in the unit introduced Zhang Jun to a girl, thinking that the two of them were very suitable to date.
The two truly fell in love at first sight, and their relationship was filled with sweetness and passion, with sparks of love flying everywhere they went.
