“I nurtured him with all my might and handed the Fu family business over to him, not so that he could be happy. It is precisely because my eldest son pinned his happiness on a woman that I was so disappointed in him.”
Uncle Zhou asked, "So what does the old man mean?"
"Nan Xiao's actions for a woman this time have disappointed me greatly. He has ultimately failed in his efforts to raise him." Old Master Fu closed his eyes slightly, his tone calm: "I will give him another chance. If he cannot seize it, then..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but what he left unsaid sent chills down one's spine.
Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Uncle Zhou quietly carried the tray out.
On the way back to the villa, Fu Nanxiao held Jiang Yilai's hand: "I was careless today and made you suffer."
He frowned slightly.
He hadn't expected Old Master Fu to have this attitude today.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have brought Jiang Yilai to the old house; instead, he would have first ascertained Old Master Fu's thoughts.
Seeing the worried look on his face, Jiang Yilai pursed her lips and said, "Do you feel that I don't have anything to offer to stand by your side? My family background isn't good, and I don't have any great skills right now. The only thing I can offer is my education, but Grandpa is right, that doesn't mean much in front of the wealthy..."
As she spoke, her mood soured again.
She clearly knows that she is an independent individual, that her life is unrelated to others, that she has her own life and plans, and that this gives her a sense of security.
She had never felt so insecure.
"You are very good."
Fu Nanxiao's deep voice interrupted her overflowing emotions.
The next second, a light kiss landed on her forehead.
Fu Nanxiao lifted her chin and looked deeply into her eyes.
“Nothing Grandpa said applies to me. Only incompetent men make too many demands on women. My feelings will never change because of you.”
He spoke with a mixture of arrogance and deep affection: "As long as you're by my side, you're the best and most special one to me."
Jiang Yilai smiled, raising the corners of her lips.
But the smile didn't reach his eyes.
The two returned to the villa, and Fu Nanxiao went to the study to handle an urgent official matter.
Jiang Yilai had just finished washing up when she received a phone call.
It belongs to the counselor.
"Eli, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I've been too busy these past two days and forgot to tell you that if you still want to study abroad, you need to pre-register on the website, upload your documents, and then go through the preliminary selection. The deadline is approaching soon."
Jiang Yilai was taken aback: "Do we have to make a decision now? Didn't we say we could make a decision within this month?"
"Because our school needs to conduct an initial screening, this pre-registration was arranged temporarily, which can also be considered a survey. If you don't register, there will be no way to submit your information to overseas institutions later. If you register but then withdraw, it may affect your scholarship application when you want to apply for studying abroad in your senior year."
The counselor said on the phone, "I'll send you the registration website, Eli. Time is tight, so think it over carefully."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yilai clicked on the website and saw that there was only one hour left.
A sense of urgency suddenly rose in Jiang Yilai's heart.
She has to decide whether or not to study abroad within an hour?
She was caught off guard.
Jiang Yilai became inexplicably anxious.
She sat in front of the computer, lost in thought for a long time. When she came to her senses, she saw that she had already filled in her basic information.
