What? The old lady actually wants to give her the house? Zhang Yu was stunned, "What do I need a house for?" Clearly, in their previous life, the old lady had transferred the house to Zhang Hao because the beloved great-grandchild needed a house in the school district. "Even if you don’t have children, or if you get married and have children in the future, you’ll have an option." Although Zhang Dong knew Zhang Yu didn’t plan on getting married, as a father, he still hoped to see his child get married and have children. Is this a subtle push towards marriage and having kids? Zhang Yu smiled, "I’ll be working in the Capital City in the future. If I work at the institute for a few years, my residence should be moved to the Capital City." "As for whether I get married or have kids, Dad, it’s all up to fate." "When you and my mom got together, wasn’t there any affection?" "You two had a good relationship, but in the end, you couldn’t avoid divorce." "What does that show?" "It shows that in the end, love turns into a mess," Zhang Yu wasn’t worried about upsetting Zhang Dong; she was just speaking the truth. "With that being the case, I’m even less inclined to marry." "What will you do when you get old?" Zhang Dong couldn’t help but ask. "When I’m old, won’t the state take care of me?" Zhang Yu maintained her perspective. "Look at Zhang Hao, was my mom not good to him?" "So, what was the outcome?" "I’ll save more money. If, and I mean if, Auntie’s son and his child are good, they might take care of me." Knowing that Zhang Dong was worried, Zhang Yu just played along to make the old man happy. Zhang Dong could tell that Zhang Yu wasn’t genuine in her words, "If you don’t want to have children, you should consider adopting one." "I checked, and you can adopt a child after you turn 35." "You say you can’t rely on your own nephews, how could you rely on others." "Adopt a child and educate them well," since Zhang Yu wasn’t considering marriage, and Zhang Dong wasn’t someone who insisted on his child getting married, adopting was an alternative. Zhang Yu exclaimed, "Dad, you’re much more open-minded now." "I have to keep up with the times," Zhang Dong knew that Zhang Yu had taken his words to heart. "If you have a child, you can nurture them well, and if you adopt a girl, you can also change a child’s fate." Change a child’s fate? Zhang Yu laughed, "It’s mutual support, I raise her when she’s young, she takes care of me when I’m old." Zhang Yu found the idea quite good, "I want to choose a smart child." "A filial child," Zhang Yu made her requests. Zhang Dong just listened to her requests. He dared to say that another ten years down the line, when Zhang Yu goes to adopt a child, all these requests she made today will be forgotten. He felt that at that time, Zhang Yu was most likely to choose a convenient child, as she always did things in that manner. Zhang Dong kind of understood Zhang Yu a bit by now. Zhang Yu came home this time to witness Zhang Dong and Liang Yan’s separation; she felt that Zhang Dong just wanted to take her to see a villa. Listening to Zhang Dong’s planning for the villa rooms, she knew this house definitely wasn’t viewed recently; it must have been looked at before. Otherwise, how would a busy man, also tied up with a divorce case with his ex-wife, have time to think about how to decorate the house? Zhang Dong went to the second floor and pointed to a south-facing room, "This is your room." Wow? Zhang Yu was surprised. She initially thought there wouldn’t be a room for her in this house. She hadn’t expected Zhang Dong to actually leave a room for her, "I won’t be staying much when I come back, there’s no need to leave a room for me." Zhang Yu politely declined multiple times, feeling that there was no need. Of course, Zhang Dong insisted, "It’s not like there’s no room. If there wasn’t, I wouldn’t be leaving one for you, but since there are enough rooms, I am leaving one for you." He dared to bet that if he didn’t leave a room for this girl here, her visits wouldn’t be frequent in the future, he was absolutely sure of this. Zhang Dong insisted on giving her a room, and Zhang Yu didn’t insist otherwise. Even if she wouldn’t come back often in the future, at least she knew there was a room for her here. Zhang Dong pointed to a south-facing room on the first floor, "This will be your grandmother’s room in the future. Your aunt and I will live opposite, so if the old lady needs anything, we can get there quickly." "As for the second floor, it’s for you and Xiao Ming to stay in." "When Xiao Ming gets married, whether they move out or continue to live here depends on what they want. Nowadays, not many young couples are willing to live with the elderly." Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly. She wouldn’t be too keen on living with the elderly herself. Zhang Dong saw Zhang Yu nodding repeatedly and lightly nodded his own head, "You, ah." "I’ll buy the care bed for grandma’s room, and the alarm system that can be installed, so that if grandma feels unwell, she can call out immediately." Zhang Yu knew there were already such devices, even though the functionalities weren’t perfect, it was still an improvement. Zhang Dong didn’t argue with Zhang Yu; the two of them took some time to discuss how to arrange the room. Zhang Hao remembered by the evening that he hadn’t even said a word to Zhang Yu and called to see if they could have a meal together.

Zhang Hao didn’t expect that Zhang Yu was already on her way back to H City, but something didn’t sound right: Why is it so quiet on your end? Zhang Hao: Aren’t you supposed to be taking the train back? Zhang Yu: No, I already bought a car. Zhang Hao couldn’t believe that Zhang Yu actually bought a car, which dampened his mood: How, how did you just buy a car? Zhang Hao didn’t believe that Zhang Yu had that kind of money: Did Dad sponsor you? If the old man sponsored a car for her, it wouldn’t make sense not to buy one for him too since they were both Zhang Dong’s children. Zhang Yu: Bought it myself. Zhang Hao, you’ve been working for so many years, how come you haven’t saved enough to buy a car? Zhang Yu looked surprised: You tell me, how have you been doing at work, to be doing so poorly? Zhang Yu: Thank goodness Dad supported Xiao Bao’s tuition, or else what would you do. Zhang Yu: You tell me, being young yet acting like someone about to retire, learning nothing either here or there. Zhang Yu: You can’t be , you have to learn something useful, otherwise, you’ll end up almost like a waste. Zhang Yu: You’re almost like a waste now, but you can’t just give up. Zhang Hao was really infuriated by Zhang Yu’s words. A waste here, a waste there, it really pushed him to the edge. Zhang Hao angrily hung up the phone, "Hmph, she really thinks just having a master’s degree is something." Chen Jiaojiao was next to him, supervising the child’s study. Hearing his words, she really wanted to say, right, she is indeed better than you. On second thought, she refrained, as this type of person only thinks they’re the best and never reflects on themselves. Chen Jiaojiao recalled meeting Zhang Yu today, feeling that her aura was even stronger. Although she didn’t know how Zhang Yu’s future career would unfold, often going out with her mentor for work, her prospects seemed promising. Looking at her son reading, she just hoped her son could be as hardworking as his aunt and never become like Zhang Hao.
