Jiang Xiaoli checked the time; it was only a little past 1 a.m., and it was still dark in the foggy city.
She first called Jiang Chengle, who was at the construction site with Dafu. "Xiaoli, haven't seen you for two days, missed me?"
She cut to the chase, "Brother Le, is it difficult for someone from our family to get into Oxford?"
Jiang Chengle found it a bit strange, "Why are you asking this now? All the new students have already started school. Isn't it a bit late to ask now?"
Jiang Xiaoli said, "It's Xiaoyu. It's okay if it's too late this year. I just wanted to ask if it's difficult to get her into school?"
Jiang Chengle immediately perked up, "Not bad! Xiaoyu's college entrance exam scores in China are excellent. My second uncle's medical research institute has many well-known Oxford alumni who can write recommendation letters for Xiaoyu. My eldest uncle can also put in a good word with Principal Spencer, and there shouldn't be any problem! However, it's probably too late this year; she'll have to enroll next year."
"Okay, I'll call my uncle and second uncle later to let them know."
Seeing that she was about to hang up after asking her question, Jiang Chengle quickly asked, "Wait, Xiaoli, why does Xiaoyu suddenly want to go to Oxford?"
Jiang Xiaoli didn't want to interfere with his work, so she just said, "Oxford's medical school is the best in the world, what's wrong with that? Okay, let's talk again when you get back."
After listening to her finish the call, Xu Feng asked, "Xiao Li, will it work?"
She repeated Jiang Chengle's words to the two of them, "The only bad thing is that Xiaoyu will have to postpone her enrollment for a year, but I think that once Wang Manqi's matter is resolved, Xiaoyu can go to Wudu to study at a language school in advance to improve her spoken English after she has recovered her health."
Xiao Muyu had already accepted the fact that she was going to Great Britain. She smiled and said, "I can also visit Jiang's medical research center."
When Xu Feng saw her daughter finally smile for the first time today, she smiled too, "Okay, okay, we'll listen to you. Our Xiaoyu will go to the best medical school."
When Xiao Jincheng returned to the hospital in the afternoon and heard the news, he was stunned for a long time.
Then he looked at Xu Feng and asked, "Wife, you're not going to go to Great Britain with Xiaoyu to accompany her to study, are you?"
Xu Feng glanced at him sideways, "I didn't originally have this idea, but now that you mention it, I'm starting to have it in mind!"
Xiao Muyu smiled, "Dad, I won't fight you for Mom."
Seeing that the family of three seemed to be in better spirits, Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, it's only a dozen or so hours by plane. Xiaoyu has gone to Great Britain. You can fly over to see her when you have time. There are people from the Jiang family there, so don't worry about Xiaoyu's safety."
Xiao Jincheng patted her shoulder, "Xiao Li, I was thinking this afternoon about what would happen to Xiao Yu's schooling after this matter was resolved. Now that's settled, I have no more worries."
"Yes." She nodded. "Protecting Xiaoyu is everyone's responsibility."
Xiao Muyu laughed, "You make it sound like I'm some rare, protected animal."
"Yes! You are now the most precious protected animal!"
She checked the time. "It's almost 10 o'clock in Chongqing. I'll make a call."
Just as she was about to dial, an international call came in first from Chongqing; it was Jiang Ruixin.
She answered the phone, "Second Uncle, I was just about to call you!"
Jiang Ruixin chuckled lightly, "It's about your good friend's schooling, isn't it?"
She raised an eyebrow. "Brother Le is quick on the uptake."
Jiang Ruixin was speechless. "He called me at 6 a.m. to wake me up! I just found someone to write a recommendation letter for your friend. Your uncle said he would bring it up when he meets Principal Spencer at the meeting this afternoon. When is Xiaoyu coming over?"
Jiang Xiaoli looked at Xiao Muyu's injury. "She'll be starting school next year. When do you think would be a good time for her to go?"
"What? Next year? Why didn't that brat Ah Le make it clear! Several professors in the lab worked on experiments all night, and I had to wake them up to write their recommendation letters! Alright, I'll call your uncle first and tell him not to tell Principal Spencer the wrong enrollment date. If it's next year, just have the kid come over a month or two before enrollment to get used to the environment!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoli was speechless at the unreliable Jiang Chengle.
Seeing her worried expression, Xiao Muyu asked, "Xiao Li, is it difficult? It's okay..."
She shook her head. "It's easy. It's just that Brother Le is too unreliable. I must have called him and he called my uncle and second uncle without checking the time difference. They both thought you wanted to enroll this year. My second uncle even had someone write your recommendation letter first thing this morning. My uncle is meeting with Principal Spencer this afternoon..."
Xiao Muyu rubbed her forehead. "He's being way too enthusiastic..."
Xu Feng laughed, "Ah Le really cares about Xiao Yu."
Xiao Jincheng snorted, "That kid!"
However, once this important matter was confirmed, they all relaxed considerably.
After having dinner with them, Jiang Xiaoli met Song Guoqiang. "Brother Song, you must have given me good news, right?"
Song Guoqiang shrugged. "It's alright, I can help a little, but not much."
Jiang Xiaoli opened the file about Wang Manqi's grandfather, Wang Tu, and read it. It was indeed as Song Guoqiang had said.
Wang Tu is a fine person; he only has some minor, harmless flaws.
She closed the file and tapped it with her fingers. "Brother Song, I don't believe someone who pressured students at the school to give false testimonies for his granddaughter is so clean. I'll have to trouble you to dig deeper."
Song Guoqiang nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will."
Back at "Heyuan", Jiang Xiaoli went straight to the 27th floor to Zong Jiayu's house.
She collapsed onto the sofa, and after lying there for a while, she sat up and started pounding on the sofa.
"Ughhhhh! I'm so angry!"
Zong Jia was confused. "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
She recounted the disgusting actions of Wang Manqi's family in a rambling manner.
Zong Jiayu's face darkened upon hearing this. "Although Oxford is a good choice, it is also a choice made out of necessity."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded vigorously, "That's right! Everyone knows that Xiaoyu's goal from the first day of high school was to go to medical school, and now this is the result! I'm so angry!"
Zong Jia hugged her and said, "What's done is done. We can only try to resolve it properly. Just like Xiaoyu said, she wants those who betrayed her to only ever see her back. I believe Xiaoyu has this belief, and she will definitely do it in the future."
She nodded. "I know, I trust Xiaoyu. I just feel really frustrated about this!"
"Okay, calm down. Want to grab a midnight snack?"
"What?"
"barbecue."
"eat!"
