Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Going to College by Cruise Ship

Xu Xinyi nodded emphatically, "Absolutely, when I graduate, I want to earn big money like sis, and buy lots and lots of things for mom and dad!"

Chen Xinyue teased, "If you want to make big bucks, staying in the province won’t cut it, you’ll have to go to mega cities like the capital."

This left Xu Xinyi stunned, and she started to ponder seriously, "So, I need to develop in the capital?"

"Go where!" Lin Yi glared at the two of them irritably, "You reckless things, it’s bad enough you’re flying off on your own, and now you want to drag your sister to go running too? If your big aunt and uncle find out, they’ll chase us home causing havoc!"

Chen Xinyue quickly raised both hands in surrender, "Grandpa, I was just joking, why so serious! Okay, okay, can I talk properly?"

Chen Xinyue turned her head, looking more serious, "What’s your plan for future life?"

Xu Xinyi shook her head, "Haven’t thought it through yet! My dad hopes I’ll graduate and become a teacher, preferably in our county or city, my mom thinks the same, even if I can’t be a teacher I should get a stable government job, not wanting me to leave the province or even stay in the provincial city.

My big brother hopes I’ll go to Guangdong Province; he says he can arrange a position for me in the company, good pay, little hassle. My second brother says I should work hard to get into their school, and then work in the same institution with him.

I feel that if I follow their plans, my career will definitely be smooth sailing, nothing worth mentioning.

When I go to university and face society’s harshness, I might happily accept their arrangements."

Lin Qin chuckled, "You’re always thinking about your parents, unlike your sister, who started considering going abroad early, she just informs us without discussing anything!"

The sisters exchanged a glance and tacitly kept silent.

That night, Chen Xinyue called Xiao Jinlin, mentioning the idea of accompanying Xu Xinyi to the provincial city and even bringing up a yacht trip.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinlin was both startled and excited, quickly asked Tang Ming to check details, contacted Hong Kong, got a small cruise prepared, and made arrangements in the provincial city.

Three days later, Xiao Jinlin personally came over, agreeing to let Chen Xinyue join the trip.

Being so pleased, Chen Xinyue didn’t think much.

The day Xu Xinyi departed for registration.

A group took a metal boat to South Port, and when they saw the small cruise ship, all were dumbfounded.

Especially compared to the yacht parked next to it by Chen Wenjun, it was like an elephant and an ant.

The impact was not ordinary.

Xu Xinyi tightly gripped her bag, laughed awkwardly and said, "Sis, if roommates ask how I came to school, I say by cruise ship, will anyone believe it?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Chen Xinyue regained herself, looked deeply at Xiao Jinlin, "It’s over the top."

"Oh, everything is for you," Xiao Jinlin gazed tenderly.

People around were forced to eat dog food.

Lin Yi dragged his suitcase and was about to board, "Quick, stop dawdling, I never sat on such a big boat, it’s worth boasting for a long time, Ah Qin, hurry, take some photos for me."

"Me too, me too..."

The crowd woke from their daze, rushed over, took a few solo shots, a few couple photos, then group shots.

Onboard the cruise, they continued taking photos, cinema, luxury restaurant, ballroom, amusement park, guest rooms, capturing everywhere.

As they were the only family onboard, everyone put down their luggage and began to wander.

Accompanied by Xu Xinyi, Chen Xinyue went to the restaurant for a meal.

Lin Qin and Lin Ying were on deck enjoying the sea breeze, watching a few men swimming by the pool.

As the wind made talking inaudible, the two headed to the restaurant.

On the way, Lin Qin asked softly, "Has Ah Jian continued chatting with Jingjing?"

Lin Ying peeked around, "Yes! But it’s not that dummy Ah Jian realized, I got Tang Jing’s contact info, so why not show some concern, ask about her situation, then find a reason for them to get in touch. You see, why is it easy for others to date, but it’s such a struggle for our family?"

"How’s the progress now?" Lin Qin was most interested in this.

Lin Ying honestly shook her head, "I really don’t know now, I’m afraid of asking outright, what if the brat distances himself intentionally from Tang Jing? In any case, the most I know is Tang Jing teaches in the provincial city, nothing else, not sure about her family situation either?"

If it were before, Lin Ying would definitely investigate thoroughly, but times have changed, the Xu family is wealthy!

A wealthy person is confident and has a fallback, she heard Tang Jing is ambitious and filial, and being a top student, she got the idea of matchmaking, purely one-sided enthusiasm.

Lin Qin laughed, "Isn’t it simple, ask Yaya!"

Chen Xinyue happened to hear Lin Qin mentioning her name, quickly raised her gaze, "Mom, Aunt."

Lin Ying promptly moved beside Chen Xinyue, clinging to her arm eagerly looking at her, "Dear Yaya, you must help your big cousin, he still has no partner, I’m worried sick, well... I think your friend is quite good, what’s her family’s situation? Can you introduce her to your big cousin?"

"My friend? You mean Xu Jiahui?" Chen Xinyue instinctively thought of her dormmate from An City.

Lin Ying paused for a moment, didn’t deny immediately, but asked, "What’s her family like?"

Chen Xinyue pondered, "Xu Jiahui’s hometown is An City’s county, just an ordinary family, but she’s promising, the family has brothers, our local parents mostly favor sons over daughters, her family should be similar, though not as severe.

Despite their modest condition, when they saw her potential in studying, they gritted their teeth to support her university education. During college, she joined us in setting up stalls to do business, saved a lot, after graduation bought property in An City, invested in some ventures, and entered the system."

"Wow! This girl is pretty good! Without family backing, she can settle in An City and even get a decent job, very nice, very nice. What about her character?"

Xu Jiahui was an unexpected gain for Lin Ying, her questions became increasingly detailed.

Chen Xinyue just found it amusing, "Aunt, the people I fancy, if nothing else, their character passes for sure! Xu Jiahui is quite sober and realistic in life, and she’s forthright, doesn’t like taking advantage nor being taken advantage of, understands clearly, has a hard personality, doesn’t suffer losses.

My parents helped her once, she’s always been grateful, very sensible and appreciative, more or less that’s it.’

Lin Ying nodded vigorously, grinning, "Good, good, good. Can you find a chance to introduce her to your second cousin? Your second cousin is a teacher at school, he also has a stable job, owns house, car, and stores, financially well-off, I think they’re quite suited."

Chen Xinyue was dumbfounded, "Aunt, you’re ignoring big cousin?"
