Chapter 1159 - 1139
Chapter 1159: Chapter 1139
It would be necessary for his aunt Kang Li, or uncle Kang Guoan, or older brother Kang Yiyang to cover his travel expenses and buy train tickets for him.
But he couldn’t say that, even though he knew that neither his aunt, uncle, nor brother would hold it against him. However, he couldn’t justifiably let his family go out of their way to spend money on him.
"Isn’t there a nanny to help take care of the children?"
"The nanny has some personal matters to attend to, so she took leave a couple of days ago and won’t be back for half a month."
"Is that really the reason?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I got it."
Kang Li said, and after chatting with Kang Yihong for another minute or two, the two of them said goodbye and then hung up the phone.
"Kang Yihong’s not going?"
Kang Yiyang asked Kang Li.
"He has to stay home to help Yan Rou look after the children. He said the nanny at home had some issues and is on leave for half a month." Kang Li thought this was probably an excuse from Kang Yihong, with the underlying reason being that he didn’t want her covering his expenses.
Kang Yiyang: "If he’s not going, then forget it. Is aunt going to call Mo Yan next?"
Kang Li: "You really know me well."
"Who in our family doesn’t know that you consider Feng Yi and Mo Yan as family!" Kang Yiyang felt a bit aggrieved: "Every time I hear them call you ’sister,’ my heart feels cold."
"Could it be that you feel like you’re being demoted a generation?"
Kang Li asked with a laugh.
"Aunt, you know it yet you still say it?!" Kang Yiyang put on a bitter face: "They’re obviously my age, but just because they call you ’sister,’ it makes me a generation younger than them."
Kang Li laughed out: "But they never asked you to call them ’uncle.’
"They wouldn’t dare!"
Kang Li intentionally grinned.
Seeing this, Kang Guoan and Cai Xiufen both burst out laughing.
A few minutes later, Kang Li contacted Mo Yan, and, just like with Kang Yichen, Feng Yi, and Kang Yihong’s earlier conversation, she heard Mo Yan say over the phone: "I’ll go."
"Then I’ll contact you again before you set out."
"Alright. By the way, Sister Kang Li, congratulations on graduating early!"
"Thank you!"
"Sister Kang Li... you’re amazing!"
"You are too."
"I can’t be compared to you, Sister Kang Li."
"No need to be modest, I’ve heard that in your department, you’ve been first in every exam since the beginning of the semester. You’re genuinely a top student!"
"You’re making me a bit shy with all these compliments. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."
"Okay, goodbye."
Ending the call, Kang Li returned the receiver to the landline.
"Mom, go take a nap in your room. If you’re tired, you and Yangyang should take a nap too," Kang Li said softly, looking at Cai Xiufen, then glancing at Kang Guoan and Kang Yiyang.
Cai Xiufen stood up from the sofa: "I really need to take a nap, you young people do whatever you want." With that, Cai Xiufen returned to her room.
Kang Yiyang: "Aunt, you go rest. Uncle and I can chat for a bit."
Kang Li nodded with a smile: "Alright, you two chat."
In the large living room, only uncle and nephew, Kang Guoan and Kang Yiyang, remained.
"Uncle, on the way back from visiting that courtyard, you said that Aunt already graduated... are you sure you’re not pulling my leg?" asked Kang Yiyang in a low voice.
"Do I have a reason to?"
Kang Guoan looked askance at Kang Yiyang, his voice also very low: "Your aunt not only graduated early but also received a double degree."
"..."
Kang Yiyang was amazed, his eyes wide open: "This... this is incredible!"
"To most of us, it is incredible, but when it comes to your aunt, it’s not a big deal."
