After returning to China, Li Qiqi did not attend her original high school, but instead went to a school with poorer teachers and facilities. However, Li Qiqi, whose heart had already become wild, had no interest in studying and her grades plummeted.
"I barely managed to get into a top-tier university in the city, and I studied law."
Yu Anning laughed self-deprecatingly. She had raised this daughter for nothing. If she had known it would end like this, why would she have spent so much money to raise her?
If it weren't for making money, she wouldn't have been resented by Li Qiqi for not spending time with her.
But there are no "what ifs" or "regret pills" in this world, and she and her daughter can never go back to what they were before.
"That's not bad either. These days it's all about connections. The Li family still has influence in the legal system, so Li Qiqi's job is definitely not a problem. You don't need to worry about it," Ye Qingqing comforted her.
In earlier years, universities no longer guaranteed job placement, which led to many good companies relocating their employees internally, especially for secure jobs like those in the public security, procuratorate, and judicial systems. They would generally arrange jobs for their children, keeping the benefits within the family.
As long as Li Qiqi manages to graduate from university safely, she will definitely not have to worry about finding a job. Even if she can't get into the public security, procuratorate, or judicial system, she can still run a law firm like Li Wensong, and making a living will definitely not be difficult.
Yu Anning sneered, "If it's just for a job, I wouldn't have spent so much money training her. Forget it, let her be. She's already an adult."
She thought she would be heartbroken, but after not being able to contact Li Qiqi for more than half a year, Yu Anning felt nothing. Only then did she realize that the daughter she used to worry about was now like a stranger.
Indeed, there is no emotion in this world that cannot be worn down, whether it is romantic love or familial love; neither can withstand repeated heartbreak.
"Then let's leave it alone and let the Li family handle it," Ye Qingqing agreed wholeheartedly.
Li Qiqi, that ingrate, really doesn't deserve Yu Anning's efforts. Although Yu Anning didn't go bankrupt from the troubles in the US, she still spent a lot of money. Fortunately, Qian Manduo helped her, and the victim's parents were willing to settle, saving a large amount of bail.
Yu Anning smiled easily, "Right now, I just want to enjoy life and live each day to the fullest. During the National Day holiday, Wen Yuan and I are planning to go to Japan for a few days. Do you want to come along?"
"I don't want to be a third wheel, but I'd like to trouble you to bring some candy, that's all."
Ye Qingqing took out a sample from the candy cabinet. It was about a meter long and three fingers wide. Inside were gummy candies that could be torn into long strips like noodles. The taste wasn't anything special, but children loved to tear them apart and eat them. Even Anjingjing liked to share them with other children in the neighborhood, so they were consumed very quickly.
Yu Anning took a picture with her phone, saying, "I sent a whole box back."
"The more the better. My family is quiet and doesn't eat much, but we share a lot. We give out about ten pieces every day."
"Then send two boxes. This candy shouldn't be hard to buy, right?"
"It's not difficult, convenience stores have them. Every time I go there, I buy several boxes and send them back. The kids like to tear them apart to eat, and it's actually quite fun to tear them apart like that."
Ye Qingqing tore open the packaging, ate a long strip, and then asked Yu Anning to tear off a strip to eat as well. She couldn't pronounce the name of the candy from Japan, but she gave it a Chinese name: Noodle Candy. Sometimes when she was bored, she would tear off a strip and eat it.
"It's so much fun, and it tastes great too, sweet and sour. I'll buy more."
Yu Anning, indulging in her childlike wonder, ate most of a candy while playing with it, even though she doesn't usually like sweets. She found the Japanese candy refreshing and not cloying. Yu Anning even considered buying some for herself. (This kind of noodle candy is really good; I recommend buying some for your kids if you're traveling to Japan. It's available in convenience stores, hanging on the shelves; it's quite long.)
Time flew by, and Yu Anning and Qi Wenyuan returned from their vacation, bringing back two large boxes of candy. She herself developed a love for candy and became more and more childlike. Life was getting better and better every day. However, two months later, Yu Anning felt that something was wrong with her body and thought that her illness had relapsed, so she went to Ye Qingqing for treatment.
