Chapter 639: Chapter 640 Sister Like Mother 57_1

When Huang Man knew the results were out, everyone was frantically calling to check their scores, and one could say the lines were congested. She decided to check her scores the next day.

After all, no matter the outcome, the exams were finished, and she might as well stay calm about it.

Zhao Lei knew that Huang Man was a person with a big heart, but still, now that the results were out, shouldn’t she check them immediately?

Seeing Zhao Lei’s distraction, Huang Man tapped the desk lightly, "Alright, focus on the problems."

"Aren’t you curious about the results?" Zhao Lei couldn’t help but ask.

"If everything goes as expected, I should be able to get into the computer science major at Q University," Huang Man replied nonchalantly.

The Huang family didn’t know about Huang Man’s university aspirations, but Zhao Lei did—her first choice was the computer science major at Q University.

He just felt that for Huang Man to pursue this major, there would be some difficulties.

Unexpectedly, Huang Man spoke with such certainty, which caught him a bit off guard.

"I’m good at estimating scores, don’t worry. By August, I’ll be heading to Capital City."

Finally, she could avoid further entanglement with the Huang family, although unsure of how future events would unfold.

Yet she knew that after Zhao Mei had developed a desire to marry, the conflicts with Huang Xin and the others would never be resolved or eased.

Huang Lina had embarked on a path completely different from her previous life. Now, she was only interested in shopping, keen on wearing beautiful clothes.

Being suppressed in her past life was torturous for her and her greatest dissatisfaction with her former self.

Now, without anyone to restrain her, she did as she pleased, diving headfirst into that circle, always comparing clothes, accessories, and belongings with others. The face-conscious Li Na was even less likely to consider reforming or stepping away from that life.

Zhao Lei looked at Huang Man’s composed expression and had to admit that he was sometimes in awe of her scoring estimation skills. While most people only made rough estimates,

her predictions were usually only off by a point or two, which was truly impressive.

"Oh right, if I get into Q University, I’ll have to leave in mid-August," Huang Man recalled something important.

"To buy a house?" Zhao Lei remembered Huang Man mentioning that her gift to herself if she got into university would be to buy her own house.

Huang Man nodded, "I want to buy a house near the university."

That way, she could store some things there, and she wasn’t planning on returning during the winter and summer breaks anyway. Her main goal was to earn living expenses and tuition fees.

Zhao Lei recalled a family friend of the Zhao’s who was developing real estate in Capital City. During their last encounter, he heard him mention developing properties near Q University.

"You could go see what the houses are like."

"If you’re satisfied, I could ask if they can give you a discount." Zhao Lei was somewhat aware of how much Huang Man earned from her writing.

But since the money was deposited in her account, he didn’t know the amount, although it probably wasn’t much.

"No need, I don’t want to trouble anyone if I’m buying a small house."

"If the house has a good layout, nice greening, and the surrounding environment is good, I might buy several units," she said.

"Then I can directly ask the sales office for a discount." A big boss would certainly not pay too much attention; it would just be a matter for his subordinates.

The people below, hearing just a reference from what the so-called boss said, without anyone keeping an eye on it, would think Huang Man was just an ordinary contact and might not give much of a discount.

If that were the case, it would be better to be straightforward and negotiate a discount with the sheer number of units.

One unit for herself was not enough; she was actually planning to buy several? Zhao Lei couldn’t help but become interested in Huang Man’s earnings from writing, "Writing books can be quite profitable."

"It’s alright, just average. It should be enough for me to buy a house in Capital City."

"And if I work a little harder, maybe by the time I graduate from university, I won’t need to sell the houses. I could cover the study abroad expenses by myself."

Having already decided to study computer science, Huang Man had prepared to study abroad and had discussed with Zhao Lei which countries and universities would be best for her studies.

Zhao Lei had heard from Huang Man that buying a house now was for living in it, and when it was time to study abroad in the future, they could sell the house and then go abroad to study.

But now she said they could solve all these expenses without selling the house, and Zhao Lei gave Huang Man a thumbs up.

"You’re really impressive," Zhao Lei thought about his current situation, where everything depended on his family; he had never considered earning money on his own, let alone earning enough to study abroad.

These were things Huang Man worried about herself, and the gap between them was significant.

Seeing the dejected Zhao Lei, "I had no choice, if I could, I wouldn’t want this either."

"Who doesn’t want an easy charge, who doesn’t want to do the things they enjoy."

"Like you having to take extra classes, while your friends are all out playing."

"After the college entrance exams, my classmates were all playing and having various parties."

"Maybe after the exam results come out, their parents will reward them, and their families will host guests and celebrate properly."

"But I have to earn money."

Zhao Lei had watched Huang Man come so far and wanted to offer some comfort.

"However, I think, I will definitely thank the me of now in the future."

"Because only by doing this can I have a good life ahead."

Huang Man truly hadn’t anticipated that after all her struggles, things would turn out this way; she felt she should have fulfilled the original owner’s wishes satisfactorily.

But some things really aren’t that simple. A few times, she had completed tasks exactly as requested, only to have the other party think she had gone overboard, resulting in a neutral or negative review.

There was truly no way to cry over it; now, all she could hope for was that this person wasn’t a saint.

"What’s wrong?" Zhao Lei noticed Huang Man was zoning out again and was very curious about what was on her mind.

"I was just thinking about going to Capital City like this, isn’t it a pity not to see their excitement."

"After I came back from the college entrance exams, there really were a lot of excitements to witness every day."

"Thinking that I’ll soon miss out on it, I really do feel regretful."

That she was upset over this was indeed in line with Huang Man’s character, "But I think once you’re in Capital City, you should still have exciting things to see."

"Definitely." Huang Man was sure of that, "It’s just that it won’t be their jokes."

Ultimately, jokes were just that. What Huang Man really wanted to see was the Huang family’s dramas, "I just want to see their excitement."

"I want to see what they would do without my contributions."

"Some say to be magnanimous, some say one should let go of past matters."

"That’s because they haven’t been through it." Zhao Lei spoke out, "Now my dad occasionally comes home."

"He even asks about my grades, but what does it matter."

"The child he actually wants to nurture is the one born to that woman."

"I told my dad last time that I wanted to study computer science abroad, and you wouldn’t believe how happy he was."

Even though Zhao Lei had never thought of inheriting the Zhao Family’s business, he was still quite hurt by that person’s attitude.

"This time, my grades for the middle school exams weren’t bad, and he just grandly gave me a villa."

"I asked for a shop in Capital City." Although Zhao Lei hadn’t studied economics, some instincts were ingrained in him, and he knew how to make a choice.

"To him, as long as I don’t study business administration, I won’t enter the company or compete with his favorite son for management rights, then I am his good son."

"Enough, I don’t want to think about it anymore, I need to study so that I can get into a prestigious university."
