"What were you doing in your senior year of high school? What were you doing when your classmates were working hard? The school you're attending now is your own choice, so why should we pay the price for your willfulness?"
Shu Yuqing's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a sharp knife piercing Jiang Xin's heart.
With tears welling up in her eyes, she bit her lower lip in grievance and remained silent.
"How about this, we'll send you abroad to study, but this is the last time the family will help you. You choose."
Shu Yuqing gave the choice to Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin looked like the sky had fallen. She didn't understand why her mother wanted her to choose. She was the daughter of the Ye family. Wasn't it easy to send her abroad to study?
When she needed the Ye family, she always remembered that she was a daughter of the Ye family.
Unfortunately, having experienced her previous life, Shu Yuqing saw through her insatiable greed, and Ye Boxian and Ye Beichen were also fed up with her ungratefulness. No one in the Ye family cared about her as much as they did in her previous life.
Jiang Xin was at a loss. She only wanted to go abroad; she had never thought about severing ties with the Ye family.
That evening, she called Yanling again, but as before, his phone was switched off.
Jiang Xin sobbed softly, feeling sad. She didn't know what to choose. She missed Yan Ling so much. If Yan Ling were here, he would definitely be able to help her make a decision.
When Jiang Xin returned to school, she heard her roommates discussing which boy was handsome, which restaurant had delicious food, and which lipstick was pretty, but no one mentioned their studies.
She was lost and confused. Was this the college life she wanted? She spent her days doing nothing, without any goals, and didn't know where her future lay.
Jiang Xin still couldn't get in touch with Yan Ling. When she heard the girls in her dormitory talking about her behind her back, saying that she was bragging, her negative emotions reached their peak. She wanted to escape from here and leave this suffocating environment.
Jiang Xin rushed home and told Shu Yuqing about her decision: she was going abroad!
This time, Jiang Xin's attitude changed a lot. She even used a rare honorific when speaking to Shu Yuqing: "Mom, please send me abroad to study."
Shu Yuqing didn't ask any further questions, but simply took out a pre-prepared adoption termination agreement and asked her to sign it.
Jiang Xin didn't want to sign. She wasn't stupid; she knew that once she signed, she would no longer be a daughter of the Ye family, and the Ye family's immense wealth would be irrelevant to her.
However, Shu Yuqing was adamant that she would not agree to send Jiang Xin abroad without her signature.
Thinking of her terrible campus life, Jiang Xin picked up her pen and pursed her lips to sign.
She comforted herself, "It's okay. With a higher education, I won't have to worry about a bright future! Since the Ye family doesn't want me anymore, I won't look back!"
This time, Shu Yuqing only gave her tuition and just enough living expenses, not a single penny more.
In her previous life, when Jiang Xin went abroad, Shu Yuqing bought her a large house overseas and arranged a nanny and driver for her.
She took it for granted that she was living the life of a pampered young lady abroad, without feeling a single trace of gratitude towards herself or the Ye family.
This time, Shu Yuqing naturally wouldn't arrange for anyone to take care of her; it was time for Jiang Xin to experience the cruelty of the world.
During this time, Jiang Xin tried to contact Yan Ling, but all she received was a cold, mechanical female voice: "Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off."
Yan Ling, a new recruit, was so enlisted that the intense training left him no time to talk about love with Jiang Xin, and he also missed her phone call.
Jiang Xin took the money Shu Yuqing gave her and boarded a plane to go abroad. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, she silently said goodbye to Yan Ling in her heart.
A month after Jiang Xin left, Yan Ling returned from the army.
As soon as he returned, he went to the Ye family to find Jiang Xin. Upon learning that Jiang Xin had already gone abroad, Yan Ling roared outside the Ye family's door, angrily questioning Shu Yuqing: "What right do you have to send her abroad!"
These words made Ye Boxian and Ye Beichen, who rushed over upon hearing the news, turn pale. They had thought Yan Ling was impolite when they watched the video last time, but now it seemed that this person was simply mentally unstable.
By what right did he question the Ye family? Who gave him the courage to cause such a scene at the Ye family home?
Ye Beichen walked up to Yan Ling and looked at him with annoyance: "Jiang Xin wanted to go abroad on her own. Why should we? Tell me why we should! Whose money do you think she spent on her trip abroad? Do you think we have so much money that we don't know what to do with it? Also, my family doesn't welcome you. Please leave."
"I'll investigate. If you send Jiang Xin abroad just to break up with me, I'll skin you alive!" Yan Ling glared fiercely at everyone present, then strode away menacingly.
Ye Boxian shook his head and looked at his back as he slowly said, "It's understandable for young people to have a fiery temper, but it's a real pity that they don't know their own limitations."
Shu Yuqing didn't speak. She was recalling her past life. In her past life, Yanling signed up to join the army, but she reported him and he was rejected. He didn't get to join the army. It was his mother's other lover who saved him and eventually sent him to the railway department.
I didn't interfere in his affairs this time so that he could enlist smoothly, and I'd wait and see him suffer in the army.
Why did Ke Yanling return just like in his previous life? Shouldn't he be training in the military right now?
Shu Yuqing frowned as she went upstairs. Ye Boxian saw that his wife's expression was not good, so he followed her upstairs to the study.
