Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Capítulo 1452: Chapter 1453: The Frustrated Eldest Mistress 62

Zhang Ji, carrying his backpack, chatted with his classmates as they walked towards the school gate.

From a distance, he noticed a familiar figure, feeling a bit puzzled, not understanding why he would see him here.

“Big brother,” Feng Yongxi greeted.

“What brings you here?” Zhang Ji was puzzled as to why he would see Feng Yongxi here.

“I’m here to see the school,” Feng Yongxi explained, “I’m planning to apply for high school here.”

Zhang Ji knew that Feng Yongxi had good grades, unlike his two brothers, who didn’t bother with education, “Your brothers still aren’t going to school?”

Feng Yongxi couldn’t help but sigh, “They did go to school but didn’t pass the high school entrance exam, so they’re studying in junior high again.”

Fail the high school entrance exam? When Zhang Ji transferred over, even with a recommendation from someone he knew, he still had to pass an exam to get in.

“I remember the exam wasn’t difficult?” As soon as he said it, Zhang Ji realized it was an insensitive comment. What was an easy entrance exam for him was quite challenging for those two idiots.

“Are they still studying seriously?” Zhang Ji really couldn’t understand them; if it were the past, they would seamlessly take over the family business without needing to study hard, and still live comfortably.

Now, even as an outsider, he could see that Feng Hao had lost interest in Yao Na and had already ignored the three sons they had together. How could they not continue to work hard?

“Brother, what do you think of me studying medicine in the future?” Feng Yongxi brought up the topic of him skipping a grade recently.

“Skipped a grade, not bad,” Zhang Ji looked around, “Let me treat you to something to eat.”

“No need, brother, I’m just here to look at the school,” Feng Yongxi politely declined and casually asked how Zhang Ji was finding high school there.

Zhang Ji was really satisfied with this high school, and he briefly explained the situation of the school.

“Here, if you want to study abroad, there are channels for that too.”

“If you study here, that’s also an option.” If it were the past, Zhang Ji knew Yao Na would definitely make a fuss for Feng Hao to send him abroad.

It’s just unclear whether Feng Hao still has that idea now. Even if he does, looking at his wallet, it’s likely he wouldn’t agree.

“I want to study abroad, if possible, I want to stay and work there,” Feng Yongxi thought about that so-called home of his, which really couldn’t be called a home anymore.

“Staying here, even among family and brothers, they would still calculate against me.”

Feng Yongxi was truly terrified of Yao Na and them. “Even if they chased me abroad, I wouldn’t be afraid since they don’t understand English at all.”

“Studying medicine is challenging,” Zhang Ji knew how difficult studying medicine was, and more importantly, “it costs a lot of money.”

“Are there no scholarships?” Feng Yongxi was stunned. He had heard before that as long as he had good grades, he could surely secure a scholarship.

Now, with Zhang Ji mentioning the high costs, Feng Yongxi suddenly felt a bit anxious.

Planning to compete for a scholarship, Feng Yongxi took a deep breath, “This should be attainable, but in medical studies, many people fail subjects.”

“I’ll think about it,” Feng Yongxi knew asking Yao Na for money was out of the question, as she was already opposed to him studying medicine.

As for Feng Yongyan, who agreed to him studying medicine, knowing the tuition required would quickly change their mind.

It’s exhausting, Feng Yongxi thought, “I still want to study medicine.” Even if it’s challenging, so what? He still wanted to try.

“It’s tough now, but I’ll have a bright future,” for the sake of future happiness, working hard now was worth it. The most update n0vels are published on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

“I’ll talk to Dad.” Initially, Feng Yongxi didn’t plan on finding Feng Hao, but now he realized, no matter how hard he tried on his own, he couldn’t gather the tuition fees.

Just after saying it, he wondered if it was inappropriate to bring up Feng Hao in front of Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji had long lost any feelings towards Feng Hao, “He’s your dad, he should be responsible for you. Since you’re going to college, of course he should pay.”

“You should go talk to Feng Hao, mention your grade-skipping, and discuss your thoughts on future career directions.”

If he could help Feng Yongxi, he definitely should.

“Feng Hao’s clothing business is doing well now,” Zhang Ji reminded him, “Oh, and you should let your mom and your brothers know.”

Zhang Ji knew Feng Yongyan and them too well—they had their eyes on Feng Hao’s money. If they found out about Feng Yongxi’s move, they’d surely be upset.

“Thanks, brother,” Feng Yongxi repeatedly thanked him, since matters like these should be considered by his parents and brothers, and yet it was his big brother thinking for him.

“No need. Just work hard.”

“You know Feng Hao and their nature. They wouldn’t be a reliable support for you.”

“You can only rely on yourself,” Zhang Ji reminded once more.

Feng Yongxi nodded, “Big brother, I know, don’t worry.”

After Zhang Ji got home, he mentioned meeting Feng Yongxi today, and Zhang Lili was quite surprised, “Why would he look for you?”

Their relationship with Feng Hao’s other children was average. After coming to Harbor City, even if they bumped into each other face to face, they wouldn’t speak.

“As for Feng Yongxi, that kid is alright,” Zhang Yu remembered from the past life when Feng Hao took the whole family and left, it was that child who came ahead to give them a heads-up and even left all the money he had with him for her.

“Mom, do you know about Feng Yongxi?” Zhang Lili remembered they rarely interacted with Feng Hao’s other family members, how could they know about Feng Yongxi and even think he’s good?

“Yes.”

“A polite child, better than his two brothers,” Zhang Yu summarized.

“Feng Yongxi is smarter than his two brothers.”

“By the way, will Feng Hao give money?” Zhang Yu was more curious about whether Feng Hao, knowing Feng Yongxi planned to study medicine, would provide financial support.

“I don’t know.” Zhang Ji paused, “Is his business doing well?”

“Business is good, but he has many to support.” Zhang Yu thought further, “Feng Yongyan and Feng Yongdan don’t have remarkable grades, so studying abroad isn’t highly likely.”

“But Feng Hao doesn’t just have these three sons; there are others with good grades too.”

“When the time comes, wouldn’t he invest in them?”

“As long as there’s one with good academic performance, Feng Hao will definitely support them in every way.”

“But there are still younger sons whose future achievements are uncertain.”

“Oh, today I heard a piece of news, Feng Hao might be becoming a dad again.” Zhang Yu wasn’t surprised that Feng Hao, in his 40s, might become a dad again.

Ah, ah, ah, is Feng Hao going to be a dad again? Zhang Ji and Zhang Lili were both stunned, looking incredulously at Zhang Yu and swallowing hard.

Zhang Yu nodded, “So, suggesting Feng Yongxi to ask for sponsorship from Feng Hao might have slim chances.”

“Feng Hao feels Yao Na holds him back, including Yao Na’s children, do you think he wouldn’t have any thoughts about it?”
