After Cao Li went to work, she habitually made a cup of tea, then picked up the newspaper to see if there were any national headlines.
She habitually flipped through a few pages, and after knowing the news, she yawned and prepared to start working.
At that mont, her hands stopped moving, and her eyes were fixed on a certain section,
"Beijing’s top scorer in the college entrance examination, third in the nation." Cao Li really didn’t care about the top scorer.
After all, it wasn’t her own daughter who beca the top scorer. Instead of caring about the top scorer, she’d rather think about how to get promoted again within the limited conditions.
She didn’t expect that such an unnoticed piece of news would an missing out on such a big deal,
"Looks like her tutoring school is going to be popular." After returning to Beijing, Cao Li certainly wanted to get to know Gong Ruini and the others well.
The more she understood, the more it made her heart palpitate, and at the sa ti, filled her with various regrets.
"If I had known they had connections with the military, becoming a special supplier of ointnts, I wouldn’t have let my daughter break up with Zhao Guangran."
Cao Li really regretted it, regretted it deeply, "Alas, missed such good connections."
"Missed so much money."
If it weren’t for her bad idea at the ti, Cao Na might still be with Zhao Guangran; maybe they would have gone abroad together, by then the Zhao Family’s resources would still be hers.
Cao Li stared at the newspaper for a long ti, then carefully put it away, intending to take it ho for her younger sister to see.
Cao Na looked at the familiar newspaper her elder sister took out from her bag, "I know, the school has been promoting it for a long ti."
Cao Na was genuinely happy for Ni Zi, but this was what she deserved; she really worked hard.
"Nana, I think you should go congratulate Gong Ruini." After thinking about it all day, Cao Li thought her younger sister should go and congratulate her.
Go congratulate Ni Zi? Cao Na looked at Cao Li in surprise, "Do you think they’d welco ?"
"You were so close to her before." Cao Li said impatiently, "You’re going to college too, you can’t be so headstrong."
"I’m headstrong?"
"I’m going to college, but anyway I’m just going to be a translator, I don’t have high demands, whether I have a good relationship with them or not, it doesn’t matter to ."
Humph, making her humble herself to plead with Gong Ruini and the others, then endure various disdainful looks, once her relationship with Ni Zi and the others improves, her elder sister would definitely be the first to benefit.
"You, why are you so ignorant." Her sister’s various disdainful glances angered Cao Li, "Easing your relationship with Gong Ruini would benefit you too."
Of course, it would benefit her, but why should she say, "Sis, you actually used to have a good relationship with Aunt Zhan, she also helped you get dical treatnt, if it wasn’t for her, you might not have been able to marry and have children."
"Didn’t you already thank Aunt Zhan, you could use this opportunity to thank her again." Wanting to push her out, why doesn’t her elder sister think she also has a chance to find Zhan Jing.
Go thank Zhan Jing, Cao Li wouldn’t even dare to think about it, knowing how the Zhao Family intervened, they definitely know what she did behind the scenes, would they treat her kindly?
Cao Li was unwilling to go in various ways, "I’m not going."
"If you’re not going, I’m even more unwilling to go." Cao Na paused at the door, "So people only need to be tricked once, there’s no need for a second ti."
"Besides, I’ve already contributed all I can to the Cao Family; when brother-in-law was promoted, it was also partly thanks to ." Cao Na said not to bring up the Cao Family again, she wouldn’t care anymore.
"From now on, how the Cao Family develops is sothing for you, Sis, to consider, don’t talk to about family matters."
After all, Grandpa also said, she only needs to handle her own matters well; as for how her elder sister will develop, that’s her business.
Actually, according to Cao Na’s thoughts, even though her brother-in-law’s family didn’t value him too much, considering they made significant efforts to bring her brother-in-law back to Beijing, they should have gone back to thank the elders for their help.
Cao Li could keep insisting that her in-laws’ support for their return wasn’t big, thinking not going back would save face for her in-laws, yet not considering who suffered the most loss.
But seeing how Cao Li was still constantly thinking of ways to dig a hole for her, she gave up the idea of reminding her after all, her elder sister is very capable, why would she need her reminders.
Old Master Cao learned about the conversation between the Cao Family sisters from the aunt and kept shaking his head, "Don’t pay any attention to what your sister said."
Cao Na acknowledged with a hum, supporting the old master as they strolled in the yard, casually telling him about outside matters and her activities over the past few days.
"Practicing calligraphy and painting is a good thing, at least it can calm your mind." So might find Cao Na’s quiet life of reading and painting at ho uninteresting, but he had quite an appreciation for it.
"Originally, I thought to have you teach your sister’s child if you had ti, but that little rascal is too naughty, and his mother spoils him in every possible way, better forget it." Old Master Cao really didn’t understand how Cao Li and her husband were educating their child.
The kid is extrely unruly, totally unreasonable, and whenever you try to discipline him even a little, he screams and cries, making Old Master Cao greatly displeased.
"I understand." Originally, Cao Na was quite fond of this little nephew, always thinking kids are cute in all sorts of ways, comparing them to Gong Ruzhi and Wan Yihui, it was obvious.
However, she didn’t expect that child to be so naughty. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s Cao Li’s son, she’d say that child has absolutely no manners.
While Old Master Cao was talking with Cao Na, after a long ti, Cao Li finally picked up the phone to call Zhan Jing.
Zhan Jing was truly baffled, not knowing why Cao Li would call her. As for how Cao Li got her number, it was probably through Dai Yaning.
As for the things Cao Li ntioned over the phone, it made her extrely angry.
"What happened?" Zhao Gang ca in intending to tell his wife not to be constantly busy handling things and to go out and relax, only to see her angry expression.
What’s going on, why is his wife so angry?
"Just got a call from Cao Li." Zhan Jing really didn’t want to talk about this na, always feeling like talking about it would make her vomit blood.
Oh, a call from Cao Li? Zhao Gang’s expression also turned displeased, "Why did she call?"
"What else but to congratulate Ni Zi on getting good results." Zhan Jing really didn’t understand why Cao Li would call, if it weren’t for her good upbringing, she’d really want to lash out at Cao Li.
Just because Ni Zi achieved good results in the college entrance exam, she’s heaping such praises?
But shouldn’t this call have been made to Ni Zi? Cao Na isn’t without a phone, and Cao Li’s blunt behavior made Zhao Gang disdainful.
"Don’t pay attention to her, there’s bound to be so problem again."
"I understand." Zhan Jing was just in a bad mood, which is why she angrily recounted the incident to Zhao Gang.
Now, after venting a bit, she felt much better than before, "Listening to her suppressed yet flattering tone really lifted my spirits."
Zhan Jing always thought her indifferent attitude should scare away soone as proud as Cao Li, but was she soone who could be scared off easily?
