Chapter 2132: Chapter 2133: The First Wife Who Left Clean-Handed 52
Lin Zixuan was discussing homework with his classmates, slowly walking out of school, and found Zhang Yu waiting for him in the car.
Happily saying goodbye to his classmates, "See you next week."
In Harbor City, the eleventh holiday is just one day, so Zhang Yu took a few days off and wouldn’t return to school until next Monday.
Of course, there was a reason for this leave; it was to participate in a competition over there, otherwise, taking leave without reason wouldn’t be approved.
After saying goodbye to his classmates, Lin Zixuan got into the car and found out that it was just the two of them, mother and son, which surprised him greatly, "Mom, aren’t Grandpa and the others going?"
Didn’t they say they were also going to the Capital City? Why aren’t they going now?
"Your grandpa suddenly received news that a friend of his is sick, so they have to rush to Yangcheng."
All their luggage was ready, and then this bad news came. What could they do? Of course, they had to go pay a visit.
"I see," Lin Zixuan understood.
By the time the mother and son arrived at the airport, there was still an hour left before boarding. They quickly headed to the lounge to grab some snacks to fill their stomachs a bit before preparing to board the plane.
Even though they were flying business class, they didn’t expect the in-flight meal to be anything special, "After we land, Uncle Xie will come and pick us up, then take us to eat something delicious."
Zhang Yu didn’t expect Xie Zhen to remember her trip to the Capital City on the eleventh. Yesterday, he asked when they would arrive, and after knowing it was today’s flight, he proactively offered to pick them up.
With a local picking them up, Zhang Yu didn’t feel awkward about it.
Lin Zixuan’s eating paused for a moment after hearing Xie Zhen would be picking them up at the airport, then casually asked, "Mom, does Uncle Xie like you?"
Does Xie Zhen like her? Zhang Yu knew Xie Zhen was still unmarried, but how should she respond, "Where did you get the idea that he likes me?"
Even as a task taker, Zhang Yu never thought she was treated as the female lead, "You wouldn’t think that just because Xie Zhen isn’t married, he likes me, right?"
Zhang Yule chuckled, "Son, you’re overthinking it. Even though I’m a divorced woman with a child, even if I weren’t, I wouldn’t be able to reach the Xie family’s threshold."
"More importantly, I’ve never thought that I need to marry into a wealthy family. Life in a rich family isn’t easy."
"There’s so much interference, so many restrictions. They want obedient people. Of course, if you’re extremely competent or have a very powerful family, then that’s different."
"But your mom here doesn’t have extraordinary abilities, and my family is just ordinary. They wouldn’t even notice us."
The original owner might’ve had some ability, but nothing outstanding. The reason she’s so skilled now is because of a change in core.
Zhang Yu can guarantee that if it was the original owner, with her abilities, Xie Zhen wouldn’t pay her any attention, given that he grew up surrounded by beautiful and capable people.
"If he’s being so enthusiastic, it’s because he thinks I’m useful, like making money for him."
"Like pulling me in could harm Lin Yu or further suppress the Han family." Because Han Xue is currently nominally the head of the Han family, if the Xie family wants to rise further, they definitely need to slam the Han family to climb up.
"I don’t want to get involved in their messy business, nor do I have the right to. Who knows, with one misstep, I might become cannon fodder."
What? Lin Zixuan, while smart, is still a child after all. How could he comprehend these crooked dealings? The original owner used to think that the child was too young to be exposed to such things, so she never mentioned them in front of him. Now, she believes that even a child like Xiao Xuan should know these things.
Seeing the child’s tense face, Zhang Yu gently patted his shoulder, "Don’t think too much. As long as we know what we want and what our goals are, that’s enough."
"As for everything else, what they want to do is their business. We just need to take care of ourselves."
"And regarding what industry you want to pursue in the future, whichever field you want to develop in, that’s your choice. I won’t interfere, as long as you’re happy."
Isn’t it always said that parents should support their children? I didn’t have that ability before, so those words might’ve sounded like nonsense. But now that I have the ability, of course, I want to support you."
"What if Mom’s teacher asks me to study finance, what should I do?" Zhang Yu wouldn’t mention Professor Ge to the child directly, but occasionally it comes up, and she mentioned it to Xie Zhen. However, he knows the professor’s status in Zhang Yu’s heart.
Would Professor Ge suggest that Xiao Xuan study finance? Zhang Yu shook her head, "He wouldn’t. Even if he genuinely wanted you to study finance, he wouldn’t say so."
"The professor always believed that only those who truly like or have a goal in a certain profession can persist in it."
"Though the professor is a big name in finance, he never demanded that his children or grandchildren pursue finance either." This is the biggest difference between Professor Ge and Mr. Han from the Han family.
Professor Ge insists that children stick to their own ideas and work towards their goals, while the Han family is the opposite. They can have their interests, but they must study finance and enter the financial world to work.
In marriage, they must either find a partner in the finance world or a wealthy family background. They must find someone who can elevate the Han family to the next level.
Even though the Han family is more renowned in the financial world, when it comes to status, Professor Ge’s reputation is more prominent than Mr. Han’s.
How interesting, Lin Zixuan listened and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, happy he wouldn’t be forced into finance.
Xie Zhen waited with his secretary at the arrival gate. The secretary, puzzled, glanced at Xie Zhen standing at the front, calculating in his mind for a long time. It seemed like no important clients were arriving soon.
Could it be a friend of President Xie? But on second thought, if it were a friend of President Xie, he usually wouldn’t bring him along as a secretary, because President Xie always separates personal matters from work.
The secretary grew curiously more intrigued about which big shot would make his boss personally come to the airport, especially at this hour.
Usually, with no social engagements, Xie Zhen would head home, not linger outside at this hour.
Just as the secretary was pondering which dignitary was arriving, he finally saw his boss make a move.
Well then, he realized that his boss had already received someone. He quickly scanned the people coming out and found that none of them matched any of the big shots he knew. What was going on?
Right then, he saw his boss waving at the exit, and he realized the main guest had arrived. But the problem remained: there wasn’t a single big name that he could recall.
Who were they? The secretary was left bewildered, feeling like he was facing the biggest challenge of his career because he genuinely didn’t recognize the people his boss was about to greet.
As a competent secretary, he couldn’t just give up there. He quickly followed Xie Zhen’s pace. When he saw that they were greeting a mother and son, he was shocked.
Even though the individuals weren’t famous or recognized figures, the secretary didn’t find them unfamiliar. Because they were part of a recent hot topic, known as the most renowned former husband and wife pair.
