Engagement Dinner (6)

She did not expect that Zheng Lin would be such a person!0

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?

It's useless to enter a university?

My God!

Actually, most children from big families and children with a good family background would focus on developing a side interest. Most of them would learn piano, chess, calligraphy or painting. As long as the family could support their side interests, those who valued education would teach their children.

However, it was rare for someone to treat those side interests as the top priority for their children in the current generation.

It was trendy to enter a university. It was an honor to have a high school graduation certificate, even for girls!

Besides learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Zheng Lin thought that entering a university was wasted?

What kind of outdated logic was that?

She was so depressed about that now.

Gu Qingyao smiled. "Don't be too depressed. Your mum is from a different generation. It's normal for her mindset to be different. The most important thing for you now is to study hard, enter a good university in the future to further your study. If you have the chance, you should explore more places.

"The era now has changed. Girls also need to explore more. You will be able to become an elite woman in the future! You have grown up now, and you can make your own decisions.

"But Yuan Yuan, let me tell you. There's nothing wrong with girls being more talented and acquiring more skills. I learned so many different things when I was young. I had so much time then, and there was nothing to do besides eating and sleeping.

"However, everything is different when you grow up. You need to work to sustain your life. So, it's good for you to learn more things at your age."

Zhong Bingyuan replied, "I understand that. Grandpa and Dad also support me to learn more things. They helped me revise some of the academic material recently since they are scared I won't be able to catch up after not being in school for a few years.

"But I feel Mom has a powerful desire to control me. If I did not follow her way, she would think that there's something wrong with me and that I was misled by my brother and sister. She even thinks that… I will not live a good life in the future."

"Hee…" Gu Qingyao chuckled. "Don't be sad. Your mom is too narrow-minded. She's too worried about you after you've been gone for a few years!

"I feel that your father and grandfather are not bad. They are more suitable for planning your future. If you can't take it, go and look for them. Your Mom won't dare to argue with them."

Zhong Bingyuan looked at Gu Qingyao. "Then… what should I learn? Sister Gu, how does Mu Mu usually study? I feel that he's so capable. He seems to know everything."

Gu Qingyao raised her brows when she saw the depressed girl suddenly become energetic and her eyes were filled with admiration.

"Mu Mu was smart even when he was much younger. He has always craved knowledge. Don't judge him by his age now. He knows a lot of things. If not, he wouldn't be able to enter university at this age.

"He knows things about astronomy, geography, economy, law and many different languages. He's very capable. If you want to know more details, you can ask him personally.

"Oh right, Mu Mu's learning skills were excellent even in many old professors' eyes. If you want to excel and yet have a clear goal, you can learn from Mu Mu. You will understand more when you learn more. Trust me, by then, you will naturally know what you want."

Zhong Bingyuan's eyes brightened. "Really?"
