Chapter 471: Chapter 471 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 86_1

Liao Daqiang checked the time, knowing that Liao Jiayu was about to graduate from college too, and he wanted to know whether Liao Jiayu was going to continue with postgraduate studies or start working.

In these past few years, Liao Jun had also met quite a few people in official circles through doing business, and he felt that having relatives within the system would be better for the development of his career.

"I’ll ask around for you, by the way, how are Xiao Yu’s grades?" Even if making connections and helping to find a job, it was important to know the other party’s academic performance.

"Speaking of which, is the second brother still fooling around outside every day?" The mere thought of Liao Kai being irresponsible filled Liao Jun with annoyance.

"Yes, he only comes around a few times a year, trailing behind his wife’s backside." Zhang Zhaodi’s attitude towards Liao Jun had improved a lot now.

Among the three children, it was Liao Jun who had the most promise—having opened several restaurants and now living in a villa.

Even though he hadn’t bought them houses, he often invited them to stay at his villa.

Today was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the families of Liao Jun and Liao Xuan gathered together to celebrate the occasion properly.

Liao Jun knew Liao Kai’s mobile number; since he was going to take action for his daughter, of course, he needed to let him know, at the very least so that Liao Jiayu would understand what to do in the future.

Liao Kai, seeing an unfamiliar number, didn’t want to answer, but then he remembered that there seemed to be a project from Capital City wanting to collaborate with him recently, so he answered the call.

Liao Jun: Liao Kai? It’s Liao Jun.

Liao Kai hadn’t expected the call to be from Liao Jun; he was really surprised: It’s me, what’s up?

These days, phone calls were expensive, and even though Liao Kai wasn’t short on such small amounts for phone bills, he didn’t want to spend it on Liao Jun.

Liao Jun curled his lip, thinking that he wouldn’t be calling if it wasn’t for Liao Jiayu’s good grades: Isn’t Xiao Yu about to graduate from college? Aren’t you thinking about her employment prospects at all?

Liao Kai didn’t understand why Liao Jun was making this call about Liao Jiayu’s job: She isn’t working. She’s received an admission notice from Yale University and is preparing to go there for her postgraduate studies.

What? Going abroad for postgraduate studies? To Yale University? Liao Jun was stunned, leaping to his feet, his voice becoming shrill with surprise: Yale? The Yale in America?

He hadn’t attended university, but he knew a thing or two about prestigious foreign universities and had thought that, if possible, he’d send the twins to a famous school abroad when they were older.

Yet, unexpectedly, Liao Jiayu had taken the step ahead, straight into postgraduate studies at Yale University.

Soon, he felt a twinge of skepticism: Postgraduate studies? Going abroad for studies, are you sure you can keep up financially?

A niece excelling to the point of studying abroad made him proud, even if it greatly differed from his earlier hopes of her working within the system.

But it didn’t matter; supporting her a little now would mean she could likely help out when the twins grew up.

Liao Kai knew keeping a low profile these years had led his family to look down on him: It’s okay, she has received a scholarship. As for the tuition, it should cover the bulk of it.

Liao Kai: As for living expenses, Xiao Jin and I can handle it.

What? Got a scholarship? Makes sense, she probably wouldn’t go abroad without one.

Liao Jun, not wanting to miss out on offering his support: You know the cost of living abroad is high, you can’t let Xiao Yu work while she’s over there, can you?

Liao Jun never thought that offering such financial help would be so difficult, but there was no choice, he was the one asking for a favor.

Of course, Liao Kai was aware: I know it’s expensive. But ever since Xiao Yu entered university, she’s been working towards going abroad, and we’ve been preparing for it.

Liao Kai: Don’t worry, we can afford Xiao Yu’s studies abroad. We’ve prepared a million, which should be enough for her expenses.

What? They’ve actually set aside a million? Liao Jun inhaled sharply, and despite owning several restaurants and living in a big villa,

giving the impression of a wealthy man, he still owed the bank quite a bit of money. Coming up with a million would indeed be quite difficult for him.

He had actually thought about sponsoring thirty thousand a year, a total of a hundred thousand in three years, which really wasn’t a small sum.

Liao Xuan and her husband both worked in foreign enterprises, often said to be high-income jobs, and together they brought in about thirty thousand a year.

It took Liao Jun a long while to recover, feeling that Liao Kai was just joking, "Liao Kai, we’re discussing Xiao Yu’s study abroad, don’t joke around."

To think he was joking? Liao Kai laughed, "My dear daughter is going abroad to study, such a big event, do you think I’m joking?"

Liao Kai: "When the time comes, we have to send Xiao Yu abroad for school, we’ll even go over in advance, to play there for three months."

Their visas for going abroad had already been obtained, Liao Kai confidently stated that all three of them could go abroad.

Liao Jun didn’t even know how he hung up the phone, everyone saw his dazed expression, and quickly confirmed with him, whether Liao Jiayu had really been accepted into Yale University.

Liao Jun nodded, "Yes, and Liao Kai and his wife are planning to send her to study there, they want to stay and play for three months."

Even though he was already a boss, he didn’t have the capacity to say he could go play there for three months, with language being one aspect.

Most importantly, if you go abroad for fun, the money really just flows out relentlessly.

Liao Xuan, who had been flattering Liao Jun in all sorts of ways, now knew she had a powerful brother, and absolutely didn’t need to worry about how Xie Haiqing would treat her.

She never expected the family she had never looked up to, the one that left Liao Kai, to give her such a big surprise.

"Xiao Yu actually got into Yale University, Liao Kai, no, my second brother, can actually, actually go abroad to play for three months?" Liao Xuan was really not just a bit astonished.

Because of work, she had also been abroad a few times, and didn’t dare to go out much because things were really too expensive overseas.

"My second brother and his wife aren’t jobless, they’re always out having fun, how can they afford to go abroad to play for three months?" Liao Xuan really didn’t understand.

Xie Haiqing had really felt suffocated these past few years; Liao Xuan regarded money as very important, and she didn’t contribute her salary, using it for herself, while he paid for most of the household expenses.

Consequently, he simply couldn’t offer much help to his younger brother and sister, he had lost his temper over it and even brought up divorce.

But that didn’t scare Liao Xuan at all, in fact, if they divorced, they would split the house in half and she wouldn’t want the children.

Xie Haiqing actually didn’t dare to get a divorce, once divorced, it would be hard for him to remarry.

Especially since his eldest uncle was a boss, he wouldn’t compete with them over the old house, and as for Liao Kai, he neglected the family all the time, following his wife’s lead.

Thus Xie Haiqing thought about being a bit nicer to Liao Daqiang and his wife, so that when the time came, he would give them the house, which was also money.

Eventually, he could at least compare with Liao Kai, who wasted money on travel, but he never expected Liao Jiayu to turn out so successful.

"Did they sell their house?" Xie Haiqing hesitated, "Wasn’t it said that the Zhao family had several properties?"

"Exactly, exactly," Liao Xuan eagerly agreed, she didn’t want Liao Kai to become successful, to be wealthier than her; her life couldn’t be the most failed and miserable one.

Liao Daqiang looked at everyone, not saying a word. Actually, he vaguely had an idea, which was that Liao Kai had previously said travelling could be funded through writing travel journals.

At first, he didn’t take it seriously, but if they had no source of income, could they afford to play outside for four years?

And to immediately go abroad for three months? Regarding the so-called selling of the house, Liao Daqiang knew that Zhao Wenjin wasn’t that kind of person.

She really cared about the house, definitely not someone who would sell it just to have fun.

But seeing the excitement of everyone else, he didn’t speak up; he wasn’t sure either.
