Chapter 2152: Chapter 2153: The Original Spouse Who Left with Nothing 72
When Zhang Yu got home, Lin Zixuan had just returned from school. His eyes lit up when he saw her. He happily chatted with her about the funny things that happened at school while entering the apartment building.
Watching the happy kid, Zhang Yu seized a pause in his speech to bring up Lin Yu wanting to see him, "I’m very satisfied with my current life. I haven’t thought about making any changes," she hinted slightly.
"Oh, right, your dad divorced Han Xue today." She forgot to tell her son about such a significant matter.
Lin Zixuan, who was curious why he was mentioned at first, immediately understood after hearing this, "Mom, I’m also very happy with my current life."
When he was younger, he might have worried whether he’d be pitiful if his parents divorced. But now that he’s older, he understands a lot more, especially after seeing Zhang Yu happy these days. He knows that the divorce is a relief for his mother.
He’s happy since coming here. If they are both happy, then there’s no need to change their current life.
As for Lin Yu, he didn’t cherish what he had before, and now there’s no need to make amends. People have to bear all the consequences of their past actions.
After hearing Lin Zixuan’s response, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but feel relieved. Although this child’s choice couldn’t have any impact on her decision, it was still gratifying to have his support.
"We’ll go over there one more time this weekend, and then we won’t go again." Planning to rest for a few days, as soon as Xiao Xuan’s vacation starts, they’ll pack up and leave immediately.
Lin Zixuan nodded, "Next weekend I’m studying with classmates."
Zhang Yu just needed to know the family backgrounds of Lin Zixuan’s friends. Actually, the kids attending this school don’t come from modest backgrounds; the entry requirements are strict. If it weren’t for Xiao Xuan’s good grades and her modest family wealth, and her study at Harbor City University, he might not have been able to attend this school.
"By the way, are you going to a classmate’s house again this time or to the library?" The first time going out with classmates was to study at the library; later, it was visiting several classmates’ homes, all of whom lived in villas.
Zhang Qiang thought for a moment, "Xiao Xuan, you’ve been going to your classmates’ homes the past few times. How about inviting them here this time?"
They can’t always be visiting others; it should rotate.
Oh, Zhang Yu just realized this now, "There’s no problem with coming to our home; I’ll ask the auntie to prepare some food, or if there’s anything you guys want to eat, I can buy it."
Her son is treated well at others’ homes, so when it’s their turn to host, they shouldn’t lack.
"No need, I’ve told them our home doesn’t have much space, so we’re going to another classmate’s place," Lin Zixuan carefreely said.
Huh? Zhang Yu looked at her son who was eating heartily, "Will your classmates talk about you behind your back if you say that?"
"Talk about what? That our home doesn’t have a villa?" Lin Zixuan swallowed the food in his mouth, "Mom, even though the school I attend is good, not every classmate’s family lives on the hillside, nor does every classmate live in a huge villa."
"Many families, like ours, rent houses nearby for their children’s education. There’s just my grandparents, mom, me, and the auntie, five people with a separate study."
"Some classmates don’t even have a shared study room. They share rooms with siblings, some even have bunk beds."
"And mom, you take me skiing in Dubai every week. Every week! Many of my classmates don’t have it that good." When he first transferred, quite a few classmates looked down on him, thinking he was from the Mainland and couldn’t speak Cantonese.
He couldn’t speak Cantonese, but he could speak English and Japanese, and now he’s self-studying French. He’s not the top student in the class, but he’s excellent.
His athletic skills are good too; he’s excellent at basketball and swimming. Most importantly, he goes skiing every week, quickly catching the attention of some people who naturally want to be friends with capable and well-off students.
Zhang Yu understood, "Nowadays, school is like a mini society."
Zhang Qiang nodded, "If you think it’s fine, then it’s fine. It’s just that going to your classmates’ homes every time isn’t always good, as it’s a bother to them as well."
That’s what he said, but Zhang Qiang felt a bit apologetic, "Should we invite them to a meal?"
"Grandpa, they are busy too. They don’t just attend classes; some need to review their family company’s financial statements."
"And if they have free time, they need to attend board meetings." Lin Zixuan said calmly.
Zhang Qiang recalled Lin Zixuan’s friends and found it hard to see their affluent family backgrounds.
"Their family backgrounds are good, but so is mine." Lin Zixuan never felt inferior to his classmates.
"Exactly, they may have started ahead, but our Xiao Xuan is not bad either."
"Son, interact with them confidently. Good family backgrounds are their advantage, but they won’t necessarily help you unless you’re capable."
"If you’re capable, someone will recruit you." Zhang Yu originally wanted to mention Lin Yu, but reconsidered, knowing no one would want to hear that.
Lin Zixuan nodded, "Mom, I know. Some things can’t be shortcuts; you should rely on yourself, taking one step at a time."
"I’m done eating, I’ll go review my lessons." Lin Zixuan usually finishes his homework at school and spends his time at home going through exercises or reading books he’s interested in.
Zhang Yu waved him off, "Go on then."
After he went to the study, Zhang Yu mentioned Lin Yu’s divorce today, as well as the call about a reconciliation proposal.
Zhang Qiang wasn’t surprised about Lin Yu’s divorce, "Since things have gotten that way with Han Xue, divorce was inevitable."
"But where does he get the nerve to propose reconciliation?" Zhang Qiang really couldn’t comprehend Lin Yu’s thinking.
"Given his current reputation compared to yours, how does he not see your superior abilities that eclipsed him, leaving him without face?" Though their daughter could now prove herself, Zhang Qiang still felt aggravated thinking about the compromises she made for Lin Yu.
"Perhaps he sees no way forward now, after all his previous arrogance offended many. Even after divorcing Han Xue, many are still watching to see how the Han Family will respond."
"Actually, he wants to work at Xie Zhen’s firm, but given his abilities, they won’t even give him a chance." While he wasn’t without competence, his reputation outshined his actual skills, "And Xie Zhen has blacklisted him; hopping jobs elsewhere will be tough."
"He’s hoping I could help with an internal recommendation because of my good relationship with Xie Zhen. Not only could he change jobs, but maybe land a minor leadership role." Lin Yu, despite his words about starting fresh through a job change, was really aiming for a promotion.
"I definitely won’t agree, whether it’s reconciliation or an internal recommendation; someone like him shouldn’t hold others back."
"Exactly." Zhang Qiang gave Zhang Yu a thumbs up, "Daughter, if you truly wish to remarry, I’d introduce numerous good people out there."
"I’ve never considered remarriage. I’m doing well enough now, plus with remarriage, you can’t predict the other party’s character."
"Back when Lin Yu pursued me, everyone said he was naive and honest, promising good days if I followed him, and look how that turned out."
"Forget it, better not to trouble over it anymore."
