Chapter 927: 005 Parents approve, younger aunt causes difficulties_4

Michael Auclair also followed upstairs. His room was on the second floor, while Jollie Auclair’s room was on the third, so Avery Graham was directly pulled up to the third floor by Jollie Auclair.

"Sister Avery, come in and sit down," Jollie Auclair said as she pulled Avery Graham inside. "Do you want coffee or milk tea? I only have instant here, it’s not like your big cities."

When on vacation, Jollie Auclair had followed Michael Auclair to G City, an undeniably luxurious metropolis filled with countless things she’d never even seen before. Therefore, despite many schools being willing to admit her, she was adamant about attending G University.

Seeing his sister’s aspirations, Michael Auclair was quite supportive. Of course, what neither of them knew was that Jollie Auclair wanted to attend G University, seemingly insane with pursuit, solely because she wanted to stay in G City.

"Jollie, don’t say that. Life in a big city isn’t as simple as you imagine. Here, at least every member of your family can enjoy such spacious living areas. But there, we live in houses as small as bird’s nests, and moreover, the houses are rented. If I could, I would actually prefer a small town." Of course, that was impossible for her now. With all her family and friends in G City, even though life in a big city could be tough, compared to newcomers, she had it quite easy.

"..." Jollie Auclair was momentarily stunned. She had thought Avery Graham, being from G City, would naturally speak highly of it, but she never expected Avery to have such a poor opinion of big city life. However, it didn’t matter, this wouldn’t deter her dream. A smaller house was just that—a smaller one—and renting was just renting. After all, her brother already owned a house, "Sister Avery, after you marry my brother, you can move into his house. I’ve been there before, it’s quite spacious. Even if our whole family moved in, it would be enough."

"Yeah, that’s true, but that’s because your brother is the General Manager, and the company’s owner provided that house for him, it’s not his own. If you want to stand on your own two feet in a big city, you eventually need to own your place. So, your brother and I are saving money to buy a house." What Avery Graham actually wanted to say was that she alone was working hard to save for a house, intending to buy one before marriage. She was willing to get married, but even if she did, she wanted to keep all finances clear with her partner. She didn’t like the idea that after marriage, ’what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine.’

But it seemed that Michael Auclair didn’t think the same way, and she had never discussed this issue with him. If their marriage was confirmed, this issue would still need to be properly communicated.

"You still need to buy a house? Sister Avery, my brother told me that you own a Cake Shop. How much do you earn in a month?" Jollie Auclair’s eyes sparkled, she loved rich people.

When she was on vacation at her brother’s place, because he was the General Manager of a company, there were many who fawned over her. The one she remembered most clearly was a woman in his company named Adelle Turner, who would do anything Jollie asked.

She could tell even then that this Adelle Turner liked her brother, but Adelle surely wasn’t as pretty as Avery Graham, nor did she have her capabilities. Avery was a boss, while Adelle was only an employee.

But even though Adelle was just an employee, her generous spending left Jollie Auclair yearning for the lifestyle of a big city. It turned out that even a regular white-collar worker’s monthly salary in a company was rather decent.

Better than coming back home with her education to become a teacher or a civil servant. So, she was determined to get into G University and then stay in G City, no matter how many years she had to repeat—three years, even five, was fine.

"It’s not a lot; our kind of small business is the most unstable—not like your brother’s job. In good times, we can make quite a bit, but in bad times, it’s pretty pitiable. After paying staff wages, there’s hardly anything left for me." Avery Graham hadn’t expected a high school student like Jollie Auclair to be so focused on these things.

There are some details Avery wouldn’t divulge in great detail, not even to Michael Auclair. She’d rather not let him know the detailed accounts of her Cake Shop, let alone his sister.

Avery Graham’s impression of Jollie Auclair diminished somewhat.

She and her mother were not the same kind of person. Hearing Jollie speak, she felt this girl was somewhat vain.
