658: Chapter 659 Sister Like Mother 76_1 658: Chapter 659 Sister Like Mother 76_1 Huang Man set down the phone, feeling a bit lancholic.
She had originally thought that without Huang Xin’s consent, Zhao i would have married that man.
To her surprise, the man turned out to be after Zhao i’s money.
But Zhao i ca to her senses, didn’t register for marriage, and disregarded his troubles.
But at least, no large sum of money was spent.
They are now living together, cohabitating, and Zhao i is paying the living expenses.
One could imagine the village people gossiping about Zhao i, yes, using the compensation money for her son’s death, neglecting her daughter, only caring for her kept man.
Huang Man felt this was a good arrangent.
Zhao i had soone to keep her company, soone who would treat her well for the sake of money and take care of her.
Anyway, she didn’t want that money; it was all for Zhao i.
As long as Zhao i was happy, that was enough.
She just didn’t know about Huang Lina’s situation.
Even the village head said he hadn’t seen Huang Lina return in recent years, and Zhao i hadn’t ntioned her either.
Huang Man didn’t know how she was doing either.
Once, she just heard Zhao Lei ntion that he saw Huang Lina with an older man at a gathering.
Of course, the man had a wife, children, and grandchildren.
After that, she never knew more about Huang Lina’s situation.
In any case, she understood that Huang Lina must have gotten what she wanted, beco a wealthy person with money in hand, able to buy whatever she wished.
Sitting on the road to the airport, Huang Man closed her eyes, content to know they were doing well.
As for whether they were happy, that was not her concern.
No matter what lay ahead, it was the path they had chosen themselves.
Even if they regretted it, they would have to walk it to the end.
After hanging up from Huang Man’s call, the village head ntioned her going abroad to study.
Everyone was shocked.
They knew Huang Man was academically gifted, but they didn’t expect her to go overseas to study, let alone receive a full scholarship.
The university-educated village head knew there was a Q University graduate from their village, who after going to Capital City to study, never returned because she was busy earning money.
“Impressive.” Even though he didn’t know which university specifically, graduating from Q University and receiving a full scholarship made it clear it wasn’t a diocre achievent.
After a mont of admiration, the village head remarked, “I’ll go notify Zhao i.”
“Go ahead.
I bet she’ll be furious when she hears about it,” the village accountant chuckled.
“What’s there for her to be angry about?
If it wasn’t for Man-girl’s insistence on studying and earning her own money, would Zhao i have cared at all?” the village head retorted with a glare.
“Exactly.
It’s because she’s unreliable that Huang Man-girl chose to go abroad,” the village head surmised that this was a likely possibility, “Otherwise, she would have surely been entangled further.”
Now, Zhao i’s eyes saw only money, even claiming that her daughter should bear the responsibility for her old age, making it clear to any discerning person that she was calculating how to use Huang Man.
The village head found Zhao i while she was often chatting heartily and ntioned Huang Man going abroad.
Zhao i was deep into her conversation, well aware that Huang Man would soon graduate from college.
She refused to believe that the girl wouldn’t return, and even if she didn’t, Zhao i could go to Capital City herself.
She didn’t believe she wouldn’t be able to find out Huang Man’s whereabouts.
To her shock, the girl had gone straight abroad to study, leaving Zhao i utterly stunned.
“Impossible, impossible.
She couldn’t possibly go abroad to study.”
“Studying abroad requires a lot of money.
She can’t possibly have that kind of money,” Zhao i, though ignorant, understood that foreign money was even more valuable.
Even studying in the country required Huang Man to continuously work and earn money; how could she possibly afford to study abroad?
“Hmph, I always knew she wasn’t an honest girl, thinking she could escape that way?”
“Don’t even think about it; it’s an impossibility,” she mused.
Zhao i glared viciously at the village head, knowing he sympathized with Huang Man, “I’ll find out for myself.”
“It’s just going to Jinghua, just going to Q University; I can find the place.”
Zhao i was so angry, she actually thought that to get rid of her, they would say such things in collusion with the old village chief, huh, did they really think she was a fool?
She could go to Capital City to find her, and once she did, she would definitely not show her a good face.
The old village chief hadn’t expected Zhao i to be so unreasonable, “If you want to go, then go.”
“Have you ever considered how many tis Huang Man has called ho?
How could I be in collusion with her?”
“You’re rich anyway.” The village chief, frustrated, just left.
He had delivered the ssage; if soone didn’t believe it, then so be it.
Letting her make a trip to Capital City was also good in a way.
Otherwise, she would continue to damage her reputation by complaining outside.
Zhao i snorted coldly, “Go ahead, it’s not like I don’t have money.”
Zhao i bought two train tickets to Capital City, taking Tian Zhiguo with her to the Capital.
Tian Zhiguo knew that Huang Man was a girl with good grades, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been admitted to Q University in the first place.
Originally, he wanted to take Huang Man’s admission notice; he’d even found a buyer willing to pay a good price but, in the end, he had found no opportunity to do so.
Now, look at her, she had soared to the skies, even getting admitted for postgraduate studies at a foreign university.
Although he didn’t know which university it was, just from listening to the na, he knew it was a prestigious one, and her future was assuredly bright.
But the problem was, with her admitted to a foreign university, could she still look after Zhao i?
Actually, he had been considering his own unmarried son.
Given Huang Man’s temperant, which no man could stand, the two of them could just as well co together.
That way, even if his son lacked earning capacity, they would still have Huang Man.
But unexpectedly, the girl had gone abroad.
What to do now?
Whenever he thought about the daughter-in-law he had set his eyes on, who just ran away like that, Tian Zhiguo’s mood turned very foul.
He spared no effort in kicking Huang Man when she was down whenever Zhao i was unhappy, criticizing her at every turn.
He believed that girls really shouldn’t study too much, otherwise they would beco restless.
Zhao i was already fuming, and with Tian Zhiguo stirring things up, by the ti she got off the train, her anger was like an unstoppable volcanic eruption.
When they rushed to Q University and asked around, finding the relevant administrative office, they finally learned that Huang Man had indeed been admitted for postgraduate studies at a famous foreign university.
“Yes, Huang Man, Stanford Computer Science graduate student, she got a full scholarship,” said the teacher, not understanding why such an achievent hadn’t been communicated to her family.
But after all, it was soone else’s family affairs, and they couldn’t intervene.
Moreover, Huang Man was already abroad, and unless she committed a serious cri, the dostic laws had no reach across the ocean.
Zhao i hadn’t expected her long journey would end up with the sa result, confirming that Huang Man had truly gone abroad.
She didn’t know how she managed to leave the office, but later burst into tears, “How, how could she do this to ?”
“I, I am her mother after all.”
“She will definitely not co back,” Zhao i was not foolish, she just didn’t want to believe it before.
Graduating from university and directly going abroad…
wasn’t this proof that she knew Zhao i would co looking for her, and took steps to guard against her mother?
When Zhao i thought about her daughter, the one she had hoped to squeeze a little more out of, slipping beyond her control, her mood could only be described as very sour.
Tian Zhiguo’s mood also plumted to rock bottom.
With so much anger and nowhere to vent it, the main subject wasn’t even there anymore.
