Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 97 No House Female Match _1
Chapter 97: Chapter 97 No House Female Match 97_1
Zhang Yu gently patted off the non-existent dust from her clothing.
"If I don’t transfer the property to you, would you say it’s my fault as an aunt if your grandson, which is to say the Zhang Family’s great-grandson, turns out to be a nobody in the future?"
Chiang Yun couldn’t help but look embarrassed, Zhang Yu was as direct as ever, not giving her any face.
Zhang Dagu and the others, hearing the commotion, all looked over, causing Chiang Yun to feel hatred inside.
"Well, I was just thinking, maybe you are short on cash?"
"It just so happens I could take over, and that would allow my grandson to attend a good school," Chiang Yun tried hard to explain.
"Whether I’m short on cash is none of your concern, rest assured, I won’t be asking to borrow money from you."
"Besides, I have a salary, I get bonuses, and Xiao Yun can work part-time when she goes abroad."
Wang Yun didn’t lack the money from part-time jobs, she just wanted the experience, which would also improve her spoken English and listening skills.
From the moment she entered the room, Du Xia had been all ears, wanting to know which school Wang Yun would attend and what major she would study.
Only to find out after listening for so long that the scholarship she received included tuition, so it wasn’t much different from Zhang Xin’s situation, was it?
This made her breathe a sigh of relief. The score was even. Wang Yun participated in so many contests, yet she didn’t get the highest-tier scholarship.
What did that tell her? It told her that the foreigners had discernment, effectively putting Wang Yun back in her place.
"Little Yu, I’m not criticizing you as your sister-in-law, but since you aren’t short on money, how could you let your child work part-time?"
"Although your brother and I don’t earn much, we never considered letting Xiao Xin work part-time," Du Xia spoke with an air of superiority.
Du Xia remembered Zhang Xin mentioning that, once abroad, she wanted to spend more time studying rather than working part-time.
Of course, she absolutely supported that, believing it would result in a better education and outperforming Wang Yun.
Zhang Yu knew Zhang Xin hadn’t worked part-time, or at least as far as Zhang Shouhua and his wife and others were aware.
Seeing Du Xia’s smug look, she decided to let it be and not to burst her bubble.
Whether Zhang Xin was performing well in her studies was not for anyone to judge; it would be revealed when she started looking for a job after graduation.
Zhang Yu just hoped she wouldn’t go too far astray and would focus more on her studies, since the family was spending money so that she could find a respectable job in the future.
"Each family has its own way of educating their children," Zhang Yu said indifferently.
Du Xia knew that Zhang Yu probably wasn’t happy inside, but what did that have to do with her? "Speaking of which, after all this talk, I still don’t know which university Xiao Yun will attend and what major she will study?"
Chiang Yun was thoroughly dissatisfied with Du Xia suddenly appearing and stealing the topic.
But regardless of her dissatisfaction, she had to give up helplessly. Zhang Yu had said she wasn’t short on money, so could she still force her to sell the house?
Zhang Yu looked at Wang Yun, allowing her to speak for herself. She generously disclosed the much-anticipated answer to everyone present, "Princeton University, studying biochemistry."
Ah? Du Xia was stunned, abruptly standing up, "No, no, how can you study that major?"
"Weren’t you studying finance?"
"Why aren’t you studying finance?"
Zhang Yule couldn’t help but chuckle, "I said from the beginning that Xiao Yun wouldn’t study finance. I mentioned this when Xiao Xin asked before, I was sure it wouldn’t be finance."
"I even told your husband that I didn’t know what major Xiao Yun would study, but it definitely wasn’t finance," Zhang Yule added.
Zhang Yu said she could absolutely swear that she really didn’t know what major Wang Yun had studied in college in America, as studying medicine there meant going to graduate school after completing a bachelor’s degree.
At that time, Wang Yun hadn’t decided on the major she would ultimately choose, and the major she was about to study was only decided upon after thorough understanding.
After looking at Zhang Yu for a long time, Du Xia still felt she had been misled, but she couldn’t blame her.
Zhang Yu had repeatedly said that Wang Yun wasn’t studying finance, and it was they, mother and daughter, who didn’t believe it and insisted that Wang Yun was studying finance.
Soon, Du Xia breathed a sigh of relief. If Wang Yun wasn’t studying finance, then Zhang Xin didn’t need to be all tense.
Occasionally when she contacted her online, she could sense the weariness in her.
Wait a minute, it was only then that Du Xia realized that the university Wang Yun was going to attend was actually Princeton. She was truly astonished.
Zhang Yi, on the other hand, blurted out, "Why didn’t she get into Harvard, Yale, or Stanford?"
In his mind, those were the prestigious universities in America, yet Wang Yun hadn’t got into any of these renowned schools but instead had got into such an ordinary university.
Zhang Yi felt that Wang Yun’s abilities were just so-so, otherwise, how could she have failed to get into a better university?
Zhang Yu and Wang Yun glanced at Zhang Yi and simply said, "She didn’t get accepted."
There was no need to explain to Zhang Yi things like Princeton University being a well-known institution over there.
Not to mention, the dimwit probably wouldn’t understand anyway, so there was no point in wasting their energy.
Though Du Xia didn’t have comprehensive knowledge of foreign prestigious institutions, she knew a bit about Princeton University, and it was an impressive college.
She had thought that Zhang Yu and her daughter would properly explain, but to her surprise, they didn’t.
If it were her and Zhang Xin, they would have made sure to explain thoroughly, to let the Zhang family know how prestigious the school was, but Zhang Yu and her daughter didn’t care.
Du Xia exhaled; this must be what Zhang Shouhua meant when he said that Zhang Yu and her daughter simply didn’t care, contentedly living their own lives behind closed doors.
Chiang Yun shot a glance at Zhang Guohua; earlier, when the Zhang family had encountered issues, they hadn’t taken any red envelopes, so how could they truly refuse them now for such a big event?
Zhang Guohua too was worrying; nowadays, he really hated receiving red envelopes, for it meant he had to fork out money.
However, when his own family had run into issues, Zhang Yu had given money. "For Xiao Yun’s acceptance into college, big uncle must give a big red envelope."
Zhang Hong pursed her lips, resigning to the inevitable; after all, the red envelopes Zhang Yu usually gave to her family were quite substantial.
"No need," Zhang Yu declined graciously, "You all need the money for yourselves."
"Just make sure you don’t haggle over my money," Zhang Yu looked at Chiang Yun, "I’ll be thankful for that."
Chiang Yun cursed inwardly; hmph, always singling her out.
Du Xia took out her phone and quickly sent the information about Wang Yun’s university and major to Zhang Xin.
Zhang Xin, who was in America, had just woken up. Seeing the message from Du Xia, she was immediately stunned.
"She’s going to such a good university." While her own college was not bad, it was nowhere close to the standards of the Ivy League and was several levels below.
"Studying biochemistry?" Having studied abroad for half a year, Zhang Xin knew that not everyone who went into investment banking had studied finance; other majors could lead there too.
Zhang Xin couldn’t relax like Du Xia. She set her phone aside. "Really, she’s only in her second year of high school and she can go to such a great university?"
Zhang Xin felt quite envious but was powerless. "Never mind, even with that major, getting into investment banking will be tough."
Just like Du Xia had said, even if Wang Yun planned to work in investment banking, she would need to graduate with a master’s degree, which meant she would still be behind her.
