Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Departure to Jing City
Shen Zhaozhao tried hard to pull her thoughts back and looked at Zhaozhao’s mother in front of her, “Isn’t there still two days left before registration? The school shouldn’t be open yet, right? What are you sending me over there so early for?”
Zhaozhao’s mother said, “It doesn’t matter if the school isn’t open. After all, you’re not boarding, so just consider it getting familiar with the environment ahead of time.”
“Not boarding? Then where will I live?” Shen Zhaozhao asked suspiciously.
Zhaozhao’s mother answered, “Don’t worry, it’s all been arranged for you, close to the school. Just a two or three-minute walk away.”
Shen Zhaozhao, who was still a bit groggy, instantly became alert, and excitedly grabbed Zhaozhao’s mother’s hand, “Mom, did our family buy a house in Jing City?”
Zhaozhao’s mother raised her hand and unceremoniously slapped away her “paw” saying, “Buy what? You think it’s like buying cabbage? It’s your Uncle Sheng who bought a villa near the school. From now on, you and Chuyi will live there. It’s convenient for school, and the two of you can look out for each other.”
“Mom, I’m at the flower of my youth, and you’re actually letting me cohabit with a boy?”
Zhaozhao’s mother looked at her disdainfully, “Don’t worry, Yiyi won’t even give you a glance. Besides, didn’t you used to love sticking around at Aunt Suxin’s place when you were little, insisting on living with Yiyi? Have you forgotten about that?”
Upon being reminded of the past, Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but blush red, “But you also said, that was when I was a child. I, your daughter, have already grown up.”
“Moreover, to think that guy would look after me, I’d be lucky if he doesn’t despise me!” Shen Zhaozhao pouted her lips, thinking about the certain someone who hadn’t been in touch for two years and couldn’t resist the urge to complain.
Zhaozhao’s mother gave her a look, “You know it yourself. Not to mention Chuyi despising you, even the dogs in the neighborhood shake their heads when they see you.”
Could these actually be words coming from her own mother?
How much of a pain must she be!!!
Feeling belittled, Shen Zhaozhao decided to spread the hurt and looked gloomily at Daddy Zhaozhao sitting in the living room, “Dad, why couldn’t you have worked harder when you were young so I could be a rich second generation? Maybe we could be living in our own big villa by now, and I wouldn’t have to be the pitiful one living at someone else’s mercy.”
Daddy Zhaozhao replied cheerfully, “Then you start working hard from now on, and your kids can be the rich second generation.”
“Why should I suffer so they can enjoy the benefits?” Shen Zhaozhao was completely unhappy with that thought.
Daddy Zhaozhao returned his daughter a deeply affectionate smile, “I thought the same as you back in the day.”
Indeed, her dad was still her dad!
There were two suitcases, one large and one small, in the living room.
“Alright, you two, any more dilly-dallying and you’ll miss the train,” Zhaozhao’s mother, not wanting to listen to any more of the father-daughter banter, grabbed a suitcase in one hand and Shen Zhaozhao with the other, ushering her along.
Daddy Zhaozhao and Zhaozhao’s mother took her to the high-speed rail station, and along with the suitcases, she was given a high-speed rail ticket, “Remember to call us when you get there. Also, since you’re staying at someone else’s place, make sure to be diligent and not cause any trouble for them.”
“Aren’t you sending me off?”
Shen Zhaozhao, seeing that Zhaozhao’s mother had only brought one ticket, was so surprised that her eyes went round.
Zhaozhao’s mother said, “You’re not a little kid anymore, what’s there to send off? Do you know how expensive high-speed rail tickets are? That’s enough for your dad and me to stew pork ribs several times at home. Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to your Uncle Sheng and Aunt Su Xin, they’ll pick you up when you get there.”
“Am I even your real child?”
So, she’s not even as important as a few servings of pork ribs!
