Sitting on the cross-border trading group, the country is chasing after it

After Cui Zhaodi had eaten her fill, she wiped her mouth contentedly with the back of her hand. When she looked up, she discovered that Jiang Ruochu was still eating noodles, and her movements were slow and graceful.

She realized that she was eating too fast, a bit like swallowing a whole apple, and smiled embarrassedly. This awkward little action fully revealed the immaturity and naivety of the seventeen-year-old girl.

Jiang Ruochu noticed Cui Zhaodi's gaze: "Are you full? Do you need more?"

"No, no, I'm already full." Cui Zhaodi waved her hands quickly, and then asked, "Sister, what should I do next?"

Jiang Ruochu put down his chopsticks and said, "I want to send you to study abroad, what do you think?"

Cui Zhaodi said without hesitation: "Okay! As long as I can study, I can do anything!"

When Jiang Ruochu saw Cui Zhaodi's innocent face, he reminded her: "Xiao Cui, I'm not talking about leaving for a short time, but I hope you can leave them forever."

Cui Zhaodi was stunned when she heard this.

"As long as you are still connected with them, whether you are studying or working in the future, they will continue to pester you, suck your blood and eat your flesh."

Upon hearing this, Cui Zhaodi lowered her head sadly.

Jiang Ruochu did not force Cui Zhaodi to make a choice.

She knew that no matter how excessive the Cui couple's actions were, they were Cui Zhaodi's parents after all. In addition, Cui Zhaodi was only seventeen years old. She might want to escape, but she might not have the determination to never contact her family again.

It is also Cui Xuehui's wish to help Cui Zhaodi break away from her current family. She doesn't want her sister to follow her old path.

In the past, Cui Xuehui was only concerned about her younger sister, so she was always restricted by her family after leaving home to work. But now, Cui Zhaodi has no family to worry about anymore.

Jiang Ruochu saw Cui Zhaodi was silent: "Of course this is just one of the options. If you really don't want to leave, we can think of other ways. In short, you must finish your studies instead of being forced to marry in exchange for the bride price."

Cui Zhaodi lowered her head and kept poking the oil foam floating in the bowl with chopsticks.

When she heard Jiang Ruochu asking for her opinion and even thinking of another way for her, she finally made up her mind and said through gritted teeth: "Sister, don't bother! I'm leaving! I can never contact them again, I can do it!"

"They have never cared about me, why should I care about them!"

"From today on, I will pretend that I have no parents and no brother. I...I...I have no family."

As Cui Zhaodi was speaking, she suddenly choked up and could no longer speak.

Jiang Ruochu sighed, walked over and hugged Cui Zhaodi's thin shoulders: "They are not worthy of being your family, they are just a group of vampires."

"Real family members help each other."

"Sometimes blood ties are not a bond, but a burden."

"You can only go further if you get out of a bad relationship. When you become a better person, you may gain friendship, love, or even a new family relationship, the kind of relationship that is as close as family even though there is no blood relationship."

Jiang Ruochu was also inspired by this. This was the case with Grandma Zou whom she had visited before. She had no blood relationship with Yuan Tangtang, who had traveled to the ancient palace fighting world, but their feelings for each other were still very deep.

Cui Zhaodi looked at Jiang Ruochu: "Is it really possible?"

"You are only seventeen years old. You still have a long way to go in the future. Everything is possible."

"Besides, you actually have family that cares about you, your sister."

Cui Zhaodi didn't understand Jiang Ruochu's implication, but she nodded stupidly: "Yes, just like you, sister. We had no relationship before, but you were willing to help me like this..."

Jiang Ruochu corrected Cui Zhaodi's statement: "Not me, I mean your biological sister, she has always cared about you."

"And your teachers have been working hard to get you back to school."

Cui Zhaodi thought of how her sister paid for her studies, brought her new clothes every time she came home, and cared about her studies and health; she thought of how teacher Geng Yue knew that she didn't eat well, and often prepared special meals for her.

As she thought about it, she could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

"I know, I know everything. My sister and my teacher take good care of me." Cui Zhaodi sobbed and repeated, "I know my sister's wish. For her, I will live a good life and work hard. I want to get into a good university!"

Jiang Ruochu patted Cui Zhaodi's shoulder gently.

"It's summer vacation next, and there won't be any classes at school. I've made some arrangements for you, so why don't you go travel?"

Cui Zhaodi was very surprised: "Travel?"

Traveling is too far away from her and is something she can't even dream of.

The farthest place she has ever been to is the city where her sister works.

"Well, I heard from Teacher Geng Yue that you once asked her what college was like. I think you can take this opportunity to visit the universities in the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital."

There are now many study tours for students, with the aim of planting the seed of learning in children's hearts.

"Really?" Cui Zhaodi licked her lips excitedly. She could only learn about these universities through the Internet before, but now she can see them with her own eyes.

"But...but my grades are not good enough for the exam." Cui Zhaodi still has self-awareness, "I'm afraid I'll let you down."

Due to family reasons, Cui Zhaodi is more sensitive and stressed than her peers. If someone treats her well, she will want to repay them. She thinks Jiang Ruochu is willing to let her go to a university in a big city because he thinks she can get into a key university.

Jiang Ruochu gently comforted her, "Don't feel pressured. I encourage you to go and have a look. I just want to fulfill...a dream of you two sisters."

Everyone’s circumstances and talents are different. Perhaps they have not been able to enjoy good educational resources since childhood, or perhaps even if they study very hard, they can only get 80 points on the test. This leads to the joke on the Internet: “Is the reason I don’t go to Peking University or Tsinghua University because I didn’t work hard enough?”

It is already rare to have someone like Cui Zhaodi who is willing to learn and has a rebellious spirit.

Therefore, Cui Xuehui's hope for Cui Zhaodi is that she can do what she can and live a peaceful life.

From the beginning to the end, this expectation was what Jiang Ruochu conveyed.

Cui Zhaodi rubbed her eyes and said happily: "Thank you, sister!"

Cui Zhaodi is now a completely different person, full of energy.

After Jiang Ruochu finished chatting with Cui Zhaodi, she deliberately waited for a while and asked her academically gifted brother for some high school study materials, which she forwarded to Cui Zhaodi. After she was done, she slowly went out to meet the Cui couple.
