Free Web NovelChapter 2175: Chapter 2176: The Original Spouse Who Left With Nothing 95
When Zhang Yu left the private room, he didn’t expect to run into Lin Yu again, and was really surprised.
Li Na knew that Lin Yu was someone who could humble himself easily, but she didn’t expect him to humble himself this much. Remembering her previous critique of Lin Yu as someone resembling a eunuch, she now realized she wasn’t wrong.
Lin Yu was aware that Zhang Yu and his companions were here too, but he didn’t anticipate meeting them again at the end, which truly shocked him.
After glancing at Lin Yu twice more, Zhang Yu left directly, not caring about Lin Yu’s dignity.
The director glanced at Lin Yu; as someone frequently engaged in business socializing, he had seen such scenes many times and turned to discuss children’s education with Zhang Yu.
"Director Zhang, your son is going to college this year, right?"
Zhang Yu responded with a hum, "Yes, he’s going to Harvard in September."
Ah? Lin Yu has been busy over the past two years, occasionally thinking of his son, but quickly moving past it. He was truly busy, plus having lost contact with his son for two years, their already thin father-son bond became even more distant.
He just didn’t expect that Lin Zixuan was already going to college, and it was Harvard, my god! He knew his son had excellent grades, given how smart both he and Zhang Yu were, how could their child be anything less?
Yet, he didn’t expect his son would attend Harvard—this news thrilled him. Wasn’t Zhang Yu supposed to inform him specifically about such wonderful news? If he hadn’t heard about it today, would he not have told him at all?
For a moment, he truly wanted to rush forward and confront Zhang Yu with a barrage of questions, but the words got stuck in his throat. How could he ask?
The director expressed surprise, "That’s a prestigious university! Which major?" To him, Zhang Yu worked in the finance sector, so shouldn’t her son also pursue a career in finance?
"Law," Zhang Yu said, indicating her child has his own future.
The director didn’t expect the major to be law, paused slightly, then thought it was normal, as it was indeed a good major, "That’s great."
Lin Yu became really angry upon learning that his son was pursuing law. Although the major was good, could it compare to finance? Absolutely not.
They had status and connections in the finance industry, but in the legal profession, did they have any networking at all? Absolutely none.
Even though he wasn’t in the legal industry, he knew it wasn’t easy to stand out in this field, especially on the mainland. Entering a red circle firm required high qualifications, and even graduating from a prestigious school couldn’t guarantee entry into such firms. freёwebnovel.com
Though he swore inside, his facial expression remained unchanged. He couldn’t explode just yet—better to call Zhang Yu tonight and ask her about the situation seriously.
After getting in the car, Zhang Yu sneezed a few times, "Bet Lin Yu is cursing me in his mind."
"Why curse you?" Li Na was quite puzzled, "You’ve raised Xiao Xuan so well, he even got a full scholarship."
"He actually hoped Xiao Xuan would study finance rather than law."
"What’s he thinking? Since you divorced, has he ever taken care of his son, provided any support?"
"When we divorced, everything was converted to me." One couldn’t defame someone else here.
Oh, "Even if he provided support, he can’t just ignore, right?" Li Na felt disdainful thinking about it, "If he didn’t make money, fine, but he didn’t earn any less."
"The renowned stock expert, his appearance fees are no small amount, plus the money from wealthy clients—it’s really a significant figure."
"Yet when meeting his son, he never brought anything."
"He could change his career path because of your reminder, now he’s successful, but hasn’t even thanked you."
"Some people really have no sense of gratitude."
"You shouldn’t have reminded him back then." Thinking of Lin Yu’s behavior over these years, Li Na got angrier with each thought, "What a person indeed."
Gratitude? Zhang Yu never expected Lin Yu to appreciate her kindness, "I reminded him because I was worried he might truly fail at investment banking, then come to depend on us."
"I don’t care—we’re divorced, his well-being doesn’t concern me. But he’s Xiao Xuan’s father. I only have this one son; Lin Yu can do anything."
"Better to give him some hope. He’s like this, given even a bit of hope, he wouldn’t stir things up. He’s inherently practical."
"He may now be famous and earning a lot—when he’s old, he certainly won’t cling to Lin Zixuan." Zhang Yu sneered at Lin Yu’s earnings, "I hope he manages better, maybe re-marry and have more children."
With children, he’d have more passion for work, and certainly when old wouldn’t cling onto Lin Zixuan.
Li Na shivered thrice, listening to Zhang Yu, "Lucky I never considered marriage, just imagining it is daunting."
To consider so many issues is utterly vexing.
"It’s complicated. If I wasn’t divorced from Lin Yu, I would have to deal with his parents and siblings’ issues, hosting relatives visiting City S—a real hassle."
"Now, I only worry about Xiao Xuan’s matters, certainly not a hassle." Remembering the original protagonist juggling family matters alongside work, truly the protagonist’s not had it easy.
Li Na knew Zhang Yu was busy before, but didn’t realize she had done so much, "Regarding Lin Yu—isn’t it him who should handle it? They’re his relatives."
"The husband takes care of the external world, while the wife manages internally." Zhang Yu said helplessly, "I can’t afford not to be somewhat cautious. Anyway, he’s doing well now, I’m relieved."
Just as she was about to speak further, her phone rang; unsurprisingly, it was Lin Yu calling.
As soon as Zhang Yu answered, Lin Yu’s flood of complaints, like why not choose finance, burst forth.
Calmly listening to Lin Yu’s grievances, Zhang Yu replied blandly: Do you remember when you last saw Xiao Xuan? Do you know your son’s thoughts?
Lin Yu delayed calling Zhang Yu precisely because he anticipated her asking: I’m busy working, besides, you’re the mom—you naturally care for Xiao Xuan, I fully trust you.
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the less wrong he felt: The result was beyond his expectations—you apparently neglected the child’s future.
Zhang Yu: The child has his own future, I don’t interfere. You, who barely exert any effort, shouldn’t stand aside rambling.
Zhang Yu: I advise you not to jump about, know that your son is studying abroad. Once he establishes himself there, works and lives there, doesn’t return—what are you, a grumpy old man, to do?
Zhang Yu: You should know, abroad you are not obligated to support parents; even if you cause a fuss, no one will bother with you. Instead, it’ll cost return tickets and some expenses, you do the math. fгeewebnovёl.com
Initially enraged by Zhang Yu’s words, Lin Yu wanted to retort, but calmed down after hearing the latter part: Xiao Xuan doesn’t care for me, would he care for you?
Zhang Yu: I don’t mind—I have money, can hire someone for care, and if I’m inclined, at eighty I can have young studs amuse me.
Zhang Yu: Lin Yu, imagine yourself at eighty, what do you have left?
