At the dining table, Zhou De received an interview rejection text message. He felt somewhat disappointed, but still forced a smile on his face as he faced his wife and two daughters.

“Dad, what’s wrong?” Chen Yuan asked worriedly.

“It’s nothing. Hurry up and eat,” Zhou De shook his head and said.

Seeing Zhou De’s ambiguous attitude, Chen Yuan immediately said, “You don’t have to hide it from me. I heard you talking about it yesterday. Dad, you can’t find a job because of the Zhou family. Mum can’t open her breakfast shop now either. My school fees and my brother’s boarding fees both require money. If you want Sister to go to school, you also need money.”

Zhou Yun, who was eating quietly at the side, did not expect that Zhou De and his wife would actually send her to school.

That was true. Now, people in Joon City were spreading the news that the eldest daughter of the Zhou family was her, Zhou Yun. She had not gone to school since she was ten years old. She was an ignorant and incompetent idiot. No wonder Zhou De and Chen Shu planned to send her to school.

“This matter concerns adults. Children don’t have to bother about it. Don’t worry, Mum and Dad will take care of it,” Chen Shu said seriously.

Chen Yuan lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said, “Mum, Dad, I can drop out of school first and earn money for my brother and sister to attend school. I can teach piano or music or something. I can continue my studies when the family is better-off.”

Zhou Yun paused for a moment. How could this be? She had already gotten a recommendation letter for Chen Yuan. It would be a pity if Chen Yuan did not take the exam. Besides, if Chen Yuan did not go to Jin City to study, then she would have to face such a noisy and enthusiastic Chen Yuan every day.

Zhou Yun immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and said to Chen Yuan, “No, you have to go to school. You have to go to the Imperial Conservatory of Music.”

Everyone at the table was speechless. That was the Imperial Conservatory of Music. How could anyone just go there as they pleased?

Chen Yuan was a little disappointed. How high was the tuition fee for the Imperial Conservatory of Music? Studying music was already expensive. If she went to Jin City, the expenditures would be even greater.

Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, Zhou Yun immediately said, “Don’t worry. I have money. I can afford it.”

“Yun, this won’t do,” Zhou De hurriedly stopped her. “Where did you get so much money? Besides, I haven’t raised you for the past ten years. How can I use your money?”

Chen Shu also said, “That’s right, Yun. If you have some pocket money, you can keep it for yourself to buy study materials in future. You’re only 19 years old, a normal age. You’ve just graduated from high school and are at the age to attend university. There are still a few months left until the university entrance examination this year. You can go and try it out first.”

Zhou Yun frowned deeply. She was going to take the university entrance exams?

“That’s right, Yun. There are still a few more months. You should revise well. This year, you should go and experience the atmosphere of the university entrance exams. It’s best if you pass. If you don’t, we’ll fight again next year. Don’t think about finances anymore. Mum and Dad and I will think of a solution together,” Chen Yuan also advised.

Zhou Yun didn’t know how to explain that, although she hadn’t taken the university entrance examination before, she didn’t need to take it again. She could only finish her food without saying anything.

It seemed that she had to quickly resolve the problem of her family’s livelihood. Otherwise, when Chen Yuan’s recommendation letter arrived, Chen Yuan might reject it due to finances.

At this moment, the Zhou family was anxiously waiting for Zhou De’s family to compromise, but they never did.

Zhou Yi couldn’t help but say, “Mum, Chen Yuan hasn’t been in school for a few days. Why hasn’t Third brother come knocking on our door yet? Could it be that he really wants Chen Yuan to be expelled?”

“Is there a problem?” Zhou Jin asked uncertainly. “Or is Third brother thinking that Chen Yuan is not his biological daughter after all, so he plans to sacrifice Chen Yuan to protect Zhou Yun?”

“It’s not impossible. If I had known this would happen, I would have made a move on Third brother’s son. It will always be more of a heartache when it’s your own flesh and blood.” Zhou Yi bowed his head and said regretfully.

Liu Huan sat on a high seat with a gloomy expression. Then, she said faintly, “No, with your brother’s stupidity, he won’t differentiate between biological or not, so there must be something wrong.”

Zhou Cha’s eyes dimmed a little. The old lady was right. When she first came to the Zhou family, Zhou De treated her as if she was his own daughter.

It was just that people had to climb upwards in order not to be bullied.

Zhou De was good to her, but at that time, Zhou De held no power or influence in the Zhou family. He couldn’t even earn much money, so she later turned to fawn on the old lady.

The facts proved that she was right because Zhou De was later chased out of the Zhou family and lived a poor life. If she had not leaned on the old lady in time, she would have been kicked out of the house as well.
