Everyone looked very unhappy when they heard Su Jin’s words. What did she mean by “they will all be spent at some point”? Their family businesses had been profitable all these years. It was impossible for them to run out of money.
Su Jin saw everyone’s reaction and knew what they were thinking. She could only continue seriously, “Do you think your family will always be rich?”
“There’s no certainty. Maybe one day, your family decided to make an investment just like you made a bet with me.”
“And then the investment fail, and your family goes bankrupt. What will you do then?”
“If you don’t study hard and don’t have a degree, and spend all your time eating, drinking and having fun, how will you turn the tide?”
“By dreaming? There is nothing in this world that can be relied on forever. The only way is to be self-reliant. That’s all I have to say. You can think about the rest yourselves!”
Then, Su Jin picked up her bag and book and walked back to her seat. She had said everything she wanted to say. It’s now up to these people to think for themselves. When the unhappy crowd heard Su Jin’s words, they thought about the money they lost in the bet.
They then thought about how their parents might be like them one day. If an investment failed, their family would be left with nothing. They were so scared that they dared not think about anything else. For a moment, everyone felt that Su Jin’s words made sense.
If they studied hard, had a degree, and had knowledge, they could at least think of a way to turn the tide at the critical moment. But if they continued to eat, drink, and have fun only, they could only wait for death at home when something bad happened!
As soon as Su Jin sat down, Pang Lili appeared at her desk before she could even take out her book for class. Pang Lili had a worried look on her face. She had promised Su Jin yesterday that she would remind her today, so Pang Lili said, “Sister Su, don’t forget that after school today, we’ll go and visit Yu Haiyang together!”
Su Jin glanced at the worried Pang Lili playfully. Why was this girl more worried about Yu Haiyang than his Aunt Jin? Moreover, was the concern on Pang Lili’s face a little abnormal?
Pang Lili saw that Su Jin didn’t answer and said with a trace of anxiety in her eyes, “Sister Su, say something!”
When Su Jin heard this, she was even more certain that in Pang Lili’s heart, Yu Haiyang wasn’t just a friend. Most likely, Pang Lili had fallen in love with Yu Haiyang. However, when Su Jin thought about Yu Haiyang’s matter, she was also a little worried.
Su Jin said with a troubled expression, “Lili, don’t fret. I remember, I haven’t forgotten!”
No matter what, Yu Haiyang was still her nephew. As his aunt, Su Jin would not abandon him. Besides, Xi Tian was investigating this matter and they should be able to find a way out soon.
Pang Lili heard Su Jin’s response and heaved a sigh of relief. She then said with a smile, “Alright then. Sister Su, I’m going back to my seat for class!”
Su Jin nodded with a smile. It seemed that after that brat Yu Haiyang got out, she would have to bring these two together. After all, it’s a good thing that the feeling was mutual.
Su Jin patted Pang Lili’s back and said, “Okay, let’s get ready for class! If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me!”
Pang Lili nodded and looked at Su Jin gratefully. If Su Jin hadn’t helped her during this period, Pang Lili’s grades wouldn’t have improved so quickly. Pang Lili was honest and willing to work hard. Her grades would just get better. She’d even be on par with Yu Haiyang one day!
Cui Wei, who was sitting near them, was very unhappy when he heard the conversation between Pang Lili and Su Jin. Why did these two keep talking about Yu Haiyang? What was so good about Yu Haiyang? Now that Yu Haiyang was gone, no one would be bullied.
Cui Wei said in disdain, “Why do you keep talking about Yu Haiyang? That guy has the face of a human but the heart of a beast. What’s so good about him?”
“Isn’t he just a good-looking guy from a good family? Women are so shallow!”
Su Jin’s face darkened when she heard this. She picked up the water on her table and splashed it on Cui Wei’s face. Su Jin knew that this guy was jealous of Yu Haiyang. Otherwise, why would he say that?
Su Jin replied flatly, “Why? You don’t allow us to like a good-looking guy? Or someone from a good family, or a rich family? Then what kind of guy should a woman like?”
“Someone like you? Who’s nothing but a sweet talker?”
“Shut that mouth of yours. Don’t you have any self-awareness? Don’t you know how to look in the mirror?”
