Free Web NovelChapter 2169: Chapter 2170: The Original Spouse Who Leaves with Nothing 89
Zhang Yu really had a good rest. After a good workout every day, she soaked in a hot bath. Although she was tired, it was truly satisfying.
Yawning, she crawled out of bed, opened the curtains, and saw the whiteness outside, "Dazzling."
Even though she was indoors, the white snow still blinded her. She quickly tidied up her bed and went downstairs.
Despite resting well these days, with more than six hours of sleep every day, she still yawned when she woke up every day.
Compared to her, Lin Zixuan was in a good state. He came out of his room looking full of energy; he had already completed his morning reading assignments.
Even though it was a holiday and he went skiing every day, Lin Zixuan still did his morning and evening study sessions and also worked on practice questions.
"Good morning, Mom." Lin Zixuan was already used to Zhang Yu being in this state, "Oh, Mom, I’m going skiing with my classmates today."
He remembered that he hadn’t mentioned this to Zhang Yu, so he quickly reported it.
Skiing with classmates? Zhang Yu was quite surprised when she heard this, "Your classmates? From Harbor City?"
If they were also going skiing, they should have mentioned it to Lin Zixuan earlier, not just now.
If it wasn’t them, who could it be? "Or your classmates from City S." They were in touch, but not very often, especially with the Spring Festival approaching.
The most important thing was that during winter vacation, they had to attend tutoring classes. After all, winter and summer vacations are the best times to improve grades, and anyone available had to attend these classes.
"Yes, it’s Liao Kai from City S. His whole family is here for skiing and to celebrate the Spring Festival." Lin Zixuan was really surprised when he got in touch with them yesterday.
"And they’re staying just a few cabins away from us." Lin Zixuan had thought they were just at the same ski resort, but he didn’t expect their accommodation to be so close.
Zhang Yu was quite surprised too, "What a coincidence, but it’s normal. I remember his parents own a company, right?"
Lin Zixuan nodded, "Yes, they own a company, and I think they’re preparing to go public."
"I don’t know the specifics." He knew this much because Liao Kai mentioned it; otherwise, he wouldn’t have proactively asked about it.
His family is preparing to go public? Zhang Yu couldn’t help but flinch at this. Are they planning to seek some advice?
How should she respond to this? Well, whatever, just let it go. When the time comes, things will naturally work out. There’s no need to worry about things that haven’t happened yet.
"It’s a good chance to get to know your classmates." Zhang Yu used to be so busy with work she didn’t meet all of Lin Zixuan’s classmates; she only knew that this one was from a wealthy family, and not much more.
Lin Zixuan replied, "Okay, but he’s still adjusting to the time difference, so it’ll be a bit later."
They just arrived? Zhang Yu replied, "Why did they decide to come today?"
"They intended to come earlier, but something happened at the company, so they got delayed. Previously, whenever winter vacation started, his parents would take him skiing."
"They’ve been to many places." Lin Zixuan knew Liao Kai had traveled a lot and mentioned it briefly.
"The family is well-off, and the parents are willing to accompany him." Running a company up to a public listing certainly means they’re not short of money, yet parents who are willing to travel with their kids are rare. Zhang Yu genuinely thought well of Liao Kai’s parents.
Lin Zixuan understood immediately, recognizing Zhang Yu saw all parents as herself, "Mom, not everyone is like you, ready to go out and have fun with me."
Aside from skiing weekly in Dubai to ensure he wouldn’t be nervous upon reaching Europe, they were also worried he’d panic standing on a European ski slope.
And whenever he mentioned wanting to eat something, if they had time, the whole family would immediately set out, and even if not then, they’d find time later for a family outing.
Although they’d only been in Harbor City for a few months, they’d already tried more local delicacies than many classmates.
Zhang Yu didn’t know what was on the young man’s mind, but if she did, she would definitely tell him, he was overthinking it. It was simply her own desire to eat and play.
Having been on so many missions, she understood the principle of indulging oneself a bit—eat, drink, and have fun when you can; otherwise, as one ages, one’s appetite and health may not permit it.
Zhang Yu understood, "This time he came with his parents, right?" After all, with the Spring Festival coming up, family reunions are a must.
"They’ll arrive on New Year’s Eve and leave on the second day." Lin Zixuan explained Liao Kai’s parents’ schedule.
Ah, they arrive on New Year’s Eve and leave on the second day? Zhang Yu just wanted to say, "Why bother, the jet lag is exhausting."
"I said the same, suggesting he might as well stay home for the Spring Festival and come over later." Lin Zixuan couldn’t understand either, "But it’s their family affair."
Zhang Yu originally assumed it was a family of three coming, but was surprised to learn it’s just the young man alone, "Is he staying by himself?"
Since it was Lin Zixuan’s classmate, if she didn’t know it was fine, but now that she knew the young man was there by himself, they should at least invite him over for a meal.
Lin Zixuan wasn’t quite sure either, "I think there should be a nanny, and also a bodyguard."
Wow, Zhang Yu’s mouth dropped open. Going out with a nanny and bodyguard, she finally understood why he needed such a large living space; it truly was necessary, not wasteful.
"A family of means indeed." Knowing there were no elders around, but still being able to care for himself, she felt relieved, "By the way, when he traveled around before, did he always bring so many people?"
Lin Zixuan nodded, "Yes, and if he studies abroad, he’ll be bringing a similar entourage." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Although Liao Kai was relatively low-key at school, some things inevitably got around.
Zhang Qiang and Han Yu had just finished breakfast, practicing Tai Chi in the house; the old man quickly picked up on their conversation, looking at Zhang Yu, "Didn’t you say yesterday that I was spoiling Xiao Xuan?"
"But look, that family has nannies and bodyguards traveling with them. Is it too much for your mom and me to go with you?"
What could Zhang Yu say to that? Of course, she couldn’t say it was too much, "Right, right, my attitude yesterday wasn’t good; I was just worried you two would be bored after going over."
"You see, when you are in Harbor City, you find all sorts of things dull." In City S, the old couple had plenty of activities, from reunions with old colleagues to outings with old classmates, lots of activities indeed.
Since moving to Harbor City, Zhang Yu discovered they often stayed at home, besides the language barrier, the local elderly seldom gathered to chat, remaining quite busy themselves.
Fortunately, they weren’t far from Harbor City, so they occasionally chatted with old classmates from the Mainland and G Province, thanks to the high-speed rail making it convenient.
But would they feel lonelier after going to America?
"Do we not have old classmates in America?" Zhao Qiang interjected, slightly annoyed.
Right, Zhang Yu remembered that some of Zhao Qiang’s old classmates had emigrated during the ’90s.
