Zhang Yu had never imagined that one day Liang Yan would call her to discuss her future. This really scared Zhang Yu, considering that even when she was applying to college, Liang Yan was completely indifferent. I don’t even need to answer the phone to guess why she’s calling—it’s simply to suggest I choose a more promising major so I can earn big money later. It’s all convenient for paving the way for the Zhang family’s beloved grandson. In the past, she considered everything for Zhang Hao, but ever since having a grandson, she thinks for the grandson. Of course, her so-called care for her grandson is mostly at the expense of others, asking Granny Zhang, Zhang Dong, and Zhang Yu to buy this and that. As for her, the real grandmother, she mostly moves her mouth, stepping in to ask for benefits for her grandson. Anyway, Zhang Yu always refutes; as a poor student, she doesn’t have the financial means to support them. Liang Yan says she’s heartless, and Zhang Yu responds by saying Zhang Hao isn’t ambitious and that after having a son, he doesn’t even care for the child. All in all, she wouldn’t foolishly contribute a single bit for Xiao Bao, knowing that once she opens this door, it’ll never close entirely. Liang Yan would keep making various demands, asking Zhang Yu to buy this and that. If she doesn’t agree, it’s always about how bad an aunt she is. In the end, there’s never a good result, and Zhang Yu’s approach is to block the path right from the start. Zhang Yu looks at the message from Liang Yan, all of which criticize her for not having a big picture view and not considering the family. Zhang Yu directly sends a screenshot to Zhang Dong: Instead of complaining about me, why not urge Zhang Hao, a vocational school graduate, who is idling away in hospital logistics. Zhang Yu: Zhang Hao and I have already severed ties, and his son has even less to do with me. Zhang Yu: Let Zhang Hao strive for his son. Looking at this message, Zhang Dong also ignores it, doesn’t reply, doesn’t assure Zhang Yu of anything, and doesn’t scold Liang Yan. Over the years, he’s become very clear about Liang Yan. She used to think her own family was her support, but found out they didn’t really care about her, and Liang Hao and Liu Xia looked like failures. In school, they already had failing grades, and after entering middle school, aside from sports, all were big red lanterns hanging high. Eventually, they were forced to attend technical school, fell in love in school, and ended up no different than street punks. Zhang Dong recalls the last time he saw Liang Bin at the mall; it really shocked him, dressed no differently than a gangster. He doesn’t know if Liang Yan knows, but he never brought it up after returning home. Among the four children in the family, only Zhang Yu is successful; alas, Zhang Dong sighs helplessly. He goes straight to the hospital after work; Granny Zhang hasn’t been well lately, so Zhang Dong avoids overtime whenever possible. Just arriving at the entrance to the ward, he hears a familiar voice, and Zhang Dong finds it strange. Zhang Yu should be at school, how could she be here? But the voice is undeniably hers. As he opens the door to enter the ward, "Little Yu, you’re back?" "Dad." Zhang Yu greets him, "I’ve had some free time recently, so I came back to check on Granny." "Are things going well for you lately?" Zhang Yu asks about Zhang Dong’s situation. "I’m just the same, not going out much." Zhang Dong checks the time, "Let’s find a place nearby to eat." He happens to have something to discuss with Zhang Yu, an idea he’s been contemplating for a while. Ah, going out to eat now, she’s just arrived. Granny Zhang understands Zhang Dong likely has something to say to Zhang Yu, "You go ahead, I’ll just take a rest." With Granny Zhang’s endorsement, Zhang Yu follows Zhang Dong out to eat. "Your luggage?" Zhang Dong considers putting Zhang Yu’s luggage into the car. "It’s in the car." Only now does Zhang Yu recall she hasn’t mentioned to Zhang Dong about buying a car. The child bought a car, and he learned about it only afterwards, "Do you still have money?" The money she earned previously was used to buy a house. Since the winter break of her freshman year, Zhang Yu has frequently gone on assignments with her mentor during holidays, so she stopped doing tutoring. Could it be that the tasks with the mentor now yield significant money? Zhang Dong isn’t very familiar with it. "Not much money there; I occasionally play around in the futures market." Zhang Yu occasionally participates in the futures market, manipulating it a few times a year. The earnings are enough for her to live comfortably. Futures? Zhang Dong certainly knows about futures but never expected Zhang Yu to dabble in them—this really astounded Zhang Dong. "How can you play with that? If you lose, you could lose a lot." Zhang Dong can cite plenty of examples regarding this. "I know, it can ruin a family. But I don’t play much." Zhang Yu doesn’t want to continue discussing this topic. Seeing that Zhang Yu doesn’t intend to continue, Zhang Dong can only sigh lightly. Finding a restaurant near the hospital, Zhang Dong orders a few dishes. As the dishes are served, "I’m planning to divorce your mom." "I’ve been thinking about it for a long time; there are things I feel need to be done." Zhang Dong doesn’t dare to look at Zhang Yu’s expression. Divorce? Zhang Yu is genuinely surprised. Back in the day, their relationship seemed decent—how come divorce is being raised this time? "Are you sure you want to divorce my mom?" Zhang Yu presses further. Zhang Dong confirms with a nod, "Yes, I’ve considered a lot; for years, we’ve been living apart." "We’ve faced numerous issues, and your mom hasn’t cared, nor have I shown concern when she’s faced problems." "We are basically strangers now; in the past, I thought, Zhang Hao is married, has a child, but there’s still you." Zhang Dong feels the only one he might be letting down through divorce is Zhang Yu. "Me, how am I affected?" Zhang Yu doesn’t understand why he’s talking , "You’re not suggesting that your divorce interrupts my major life events, are you?" Zhang Yu laughs, "Dad, if you want to divorce, I support you." "I have no strong notions about marriage; even if I meet someone and want to marry, if they use parents’ divorce as a reason to nag me, why should I marry them?" "If that’s their reason to nag me endlessly, will the marriage be good afterward?" "Dad, if you feel your marriage with her can’t continue, then divorce." "However, have you thought about how she might not agree to divorce?" Even though now their marriage practically exists in name only, legally she is still Mrs. Zhang. "I know, but I’ll propose divorce." "Liang Hao and Liang Li’s kids cause trouble at technical school and will be problems sooner or later." "They’ll surely go to your mom; your mom knows few people and won’t be able to help them find jobs, ultimately leaving me troubled." "I’m just worried this will all become your burden later." The Liang family, if any of them can find support, they won’t strive on their own. "I can ignore your mom, but what about you? You understand your mom’s disposition."
