Zhuang Jingshu quietly looked at her, finally sighing, "I’ve said it before, it’s not the time for you to act yet. I’ve found you a school in the capital city. Go there and study well, and once you complete your studies, I’ll naturally support you in doing what you want."
Lin Jiayi was secretly resentful. If it weren’t for hearing that Zhuang Jingshu had actually found her a school and wanted her to go study, she wouldn’t have thought of opening a food factory.
She simply didn’t want to study.
Since she was young, her academic performance was poor, and by middle school, she couldn’t keep up. Over the years, she’s forgotten everything she learned before. Going to study now would only bring her embarrassment.
Where would she study? Elementary school or university? No matter which type of school, she wouldn’t be able to continue.
Seeing Zhuang Jingshu’s firm attitude, Lin Jiayi gritted her teeth and said, "Since you support me in doing what I want, let Zhuang Yang help me buy equipment and build a factory. It’s okay if I don’t know how to do it; you and Zhuang Yang can teach me. I’ll learn well. You’ve already bought equipment for Lin Chuxia, why can’t you buy a few for me?"
Zhuang Jingshu shook her head, "You’re different from her."
You’re different from her!
You’re different from her!!
These few short words pierced Lin Jiayi’s heart, reddening her eyes.
Since childhood, everyone has compared the two of them.
She didn’t look as good as Lin Chuxia, wasn’t liked outside as much as Lin Chuxia, didn’t perform academically as well as Lin Chuxia.
Even after getting married, she was inferior everywhere.
In her past life she wasn’t as good, in this one she changed partners and still wasn’t as good.
It seemed as if she was born to highlight Lin Chuxia, forever living under Lin Chuxia’s halo.
Clearly, she is the biological daughter of the Lin Family.
If it weren’t for her mother favoring her everywhere, she’d wish for Lin Chuxia to disappear from this world.
If it wasn’t for Zhuang Jingshu leaving Lin Chuxia at her home, she wouldn’t be overshadowed by Lin Chuxia everywhere.
Now she still says they’re different.
But clearly, she is her biological daughter now.
"We’re not the same; I don’t look as pretty as her, don’t please people like her, don’t have her skills, so Mom, have you regretted acknowledging me as your biological daughter? If so, then don’t recognize me. I’ll just pretend you’re not my biological mother, live my life as the adopted daughter of the Lin Family, endure others’ disdain and bullying..."
After saying this, Lin Jiayi didn’t look at Zhuang Jingshu’s expression, and turned to run out.
When Zhuang Yang heard the arguments between the two, he entered to see Zhuang Jingshu’s slightly pale expression.
"Chairman, are you okay?"
Zhuang Jingshu waved her hand, sitting silently for a while.
Zhuang Yang hesitated before speaking, "I see that the conflict between Miss and Miss Lin seems quite big. Do you think the cooperation with Miss Lin should..."
He knew the chairman’s main purpose of returning to the country was to find Miss.
If the cooperation with Miss Lin affects the mother-daughter relationship between Miss and the chairman, it’s not worth it.
Zhuang Yang didn’t expect things to turn out so coincidentally. The chairman always treated Miss Lin as a lifesaver but she turned out to be the arch-enemy of her biological daughter.
On one side is the lifesaver, on the other is the biological daughter; it’s indeed a difficult choice.
However, Zhuang Yang thought of many ways to repay the lifesaver’s kindness. Since Miss resists too much contact between the chairman and Miss Lin, terminating the cooperation and repaying Miss Lin in another way also works.
Zhuang Jingshu waved her hand, "No need, make arrangements to handle matters here quickly, then we’ll head to the capital."
"But Miss seems quite resistant to going to the capital to study," Zhuang Yang roughly knew why.
Previously, Lin Jiayi had asked him to teach her how to drive. He spent half a day teaching Lin Jiayi the most basic operations, but she couldn’t understand.
Later, having no choice, he found books on learning driving skills for her to read. She couldn’t understand them, let alone recognize many of the words.
Clearly someone who attended middle school, yet not even comparable to an elementary student.
Zhuang Jingshu did not explain further, "Just do as I said."
"Then... not waiting for the report results either?" Zhuang Yang asked again.
