Hai Zhiyuan refused: “There’s no need for such formality, you and Xiaotang are divorced now, it’s inappropriate for me to accept your respect any longer.” Dongfang Yu responded calmly, “Regardless of whether Hai Xiaotang and 1 are husband and wife, in my eyes, you’re still worthy of my respect and duty. Grandfather, you know, 1 sincerely wish to honor you.”
Upon hearing this, Hai Zhiyuan no longer refused.
“Alright, then I won’t stop you from showing your respect.”
“It’s the right thing to do.”
Hai Xiaotang remained silent the whole time, not wanting to face Dongfang Yu.
She finished her meal quickly and put down her chopsticks, “Grandfather, please take your time. I’m going to watch some TV.”
Hai Zhiyuan stopped her, “You have a guest, there’s no need for you to watch TV. Go to the kitchen and cut some fruits. Ayu and I will retire to the living room for a while.”
“…Oh.” Hai Xiaotang went to the kitchen unwillingly.
However, her grandfather was right. Dongfang Yu was a guest and she should just treat him as such.
Hai Xiaotang took the cut fruits to the living room.
As she put down the fruits, Dongfang Yu suddenly asked her, “Aren’t you considering going to university? Have you decided which university you want to attend?”
Hai Xiaotang did not expect him to suddenly start a conversation with her, so she was taken aback.
“Not yet.” she answered indifferently.
Dongfang Yu continued, “If you decide which university you want to go to, let me know. 1 can get you in directly.”
“No need, my grandfather can help me with that.” Hai Xiaotang declined his offer.
Hai Zhiyuan honestly stated, “1 might not necessarily be able to help. 1 don’t have connections everywhere.”
“Then I’ll go to a university that you do have connections with.”
Dongfang Yu solemnly said, “If you’re serious about studying, then you should treat it seriously. Ideally, you should go to the best university.”
“I don’t care. My grades are poor anyway, going to the best university would be pointless.” Hai Xiaotang declined his offer once again.
Hai Zhiyuan chimed in, “Ayu is right, Xiaotang. If you want to study, it would be best to go to the best university. Even if your grades are poor, you can still learn something at a good university.”
“Grandfather, I don’t want to go to university now, I’ll think about it later.”
“The new semester is about to start. It would be best if you make up your mind soon.” Dongfang Yu said in a low voice, “You seem to have a talent for architectural design. How about studying that? You could get the hang of it quickly and achieve success in the future.”
Hai Xiaotang was caught by surprise, what was he talking about?
They were divorced, weren’t they?
Not to mention that he shouldn’t be giving her advice, he should be minding his own business.
Ignoring her thoughts, Dongfang Yu tried to convince Hai Zhiyuan directly, “Grandfather, she has a very high talent in this field. 1 think it shouldn’t be wasted.”
“1 don’t like architectural design!” Hai Xiaotang blurted out. “1 won’t study it.” “How would you know if you like it without giving it a try? When you have a talent, you should make use of it.” Dongfang Yu refuted.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t object to studying. It was just because it was his suggestion, that she didn’t want to follow.
“Anyway, 1 don’t want to study that. Whatever I want to study, I will decide for myself.”
“Xiaotang, Ayu’s suggestion is good.” Hai Zhiyuan suddenly said, “You should study it.”
Hai Xiaotang was startled, “But, Grandfather, 1 don’t want to.”
The old man said earnestly, “Didn’t you say you wanted to learn to be independent? How can you be independent without skills? If you have a talent, you should learn to put it to use. I don’t expect you to be exceptionally successful, as long as you can find a job to support yourself in the future.”
Hai Xiaotang really wanted to say, of course, she could support herself..
