Ye Qingqing took out a whole box of oranges, put them in a bag, and handed them to Li Shanxing, who was forcing a smile. It seemed that the girl had argued with Aunt Xu in the kitchen, which was why Aunt Xu wouldn't let her stay overnight.
Li Shanxing had no choice but to leave with the oranges, even though she was unwilling. Aunt Xu saw her daughter off at the intersection and then came back herself.
"Auntie, is Sister Shanxing doing very well in school?" Ye Qingqing asked.
Aunt Xu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly became proud and nodded, saying, "Not bad, I can get a first-class scholarship every semester."
"That's amazing, Auntie. Sister Shanxing has such good grades, she could actually take the TOEFL. If she passes, she can study abroad on a government scholarship, meaning the country will pay for her to go abroad to study," Ye Qingqing said deliberately.
She also couldn't understand Li Shanxing's thought process. Since her grades were so good, why didn't she try to take the TOEFL?
There are many ways to go abroad, and marrying a foreigner is a shortcut, but it is also the most dangerous one.
Who knows what those foreigners are like in their own countries? In the 1990s, many foreigners came to China to make money because as long as they could speak English, they could find a very respectable job in their home countries, even if they were just scoundrels and hooligans in their own countries. But after going abroad, they would transform into someone superior to others.
These trashy foreigners have multiple girlfriends back home, changing them as frequently as changing clothes, and even spreading viruses. They are truly a bunch of scum. Yet, many young girls don't respect themselves and willingly go to these foreigners to be played with.
Of course, Bruno is definitely not a jerk. He has a high level of education, a respectable job, and is a very upright person. But he is clearly not interested in Li Shanxing. Ye Qingqing feels that Bruno is more attracted to Xiao Li!
Ye Qingqing felt that Li Shanxing was just confused for a moment, so she deliberately talked to Aunt Xu about TOEFL to let Li Shanxing know that there are many ways to go abroad, and she should never choose the least safe one!
Aunt Xu was overjoyed and asked Ye Qingqing a lot about the TOEFL. She happily said, "My Xing'er's grades are definitely not a problem. She gets first place every year. I'll tell her next time. Thank you, Qingqing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that there are government-funded overseas study programs!"
Overjoyed, Aunt Xu went back to work in the kitchen. Her previous gloom vanished instantly. She thought her daughter would definitely pass the TOEFL exam, and once she did, she wouldn't have those unrealistic dreams anymore!
Sang Wanhua smiled at Ye Qingqing, "You mean well, but I'm afraid they might not appreciate it."
Taking the TOEFL is exhausting, time-consuming, and mentally taxing, and you're not guaranteed to pass. Even if you do pass, studying abroad doesn't guarantee a green card. Marrying a foreigner is easier and you can get a green card. Anyone can do the math, and Li Shanxing must have already figured it out clearly.
Moreover, how could Li Shanxing not know that taking the TOEFL could lead to government-funded overseas study? She was more interested in taking a shortcut.
Ye Qingqing smiled and said, "Just a reminder, it's fine if you want to marry a foreigner, but don't try to use my family as a stepping stone, it's so annoying!"
The old lady then realized something was wrong. "Marrying a foreigner? Are you talking about Shanxing? Who does she want to marry?"
"Dr. Bruno, during dinner, Li Shanxing stared at Dr. Bruno with her eyes glued to him, her thoughts written all over her face," Ye Qingqing said with a hint of disdain.
Sang Wanhua joked, "Sister-in-law, you've misjudged this time. Young girls these days are very cunning!"
The old lady wasn't really confused; she just had such a good impression of Li Shanxing that she hadn't thought about it in that way at all. Now that she thought about it, Li Shanxing did treat Bruno very differently.
"Alright, then don't come here again. I don't care how wild people are outside, but things must be orderly in my house." The old lady shook her head repeatedly, and immediately disliked Li Shanxing.
