Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

"Um?"

These words were spoken.

Everyone at the table looked over.

Even Zhang Xinyi was somewhat surprised.

Chen Yueting then realized what was happening and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Why are you worrying about this, kid? Well, we adults shouldn't say these things in front of you kids."

"I got emotional just now, never mind, let's eat first."

Chen Jianji, however, said with a serious expression.

"Auntie, I'm serious."

"It's not necessarily better abroad than at home. You're unfamiliar with the place and the people. Even if your annual salary seems much higher, the hidden costs might not be cheap either."

"Besides, different local customs and traditions may not be suitable for everyone."

"Our family isn't starving right now; we're just facing a temporary crisis, but we might be able to get through it."

Chen Jianji continued, "As my uncle just said, even if the company can't continue operating, we won't let the family go bankrupt and incur debt."

"That leaves only your individual living expenses and mortgage payments, with the mortgage being the biggest expense."

"Given that housing prices have been steadily rising in recent years and are unlikely to fall in the short term, in the worst-case scenario where you can't hold on any longer, you can sell the house, not only clearing out the mortgage but also making a small profit."

"At that time, renting or buying a small apartment will be enough to live comfortably."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yonghui looked at his nephew in surprise.

I never expected that after I only said a few words, the other party would have basically figured out my backup plan.

It's pretty much what I expected.

Seeing that his analysis was feasible, Chen Yueting slowly continued to express her true thoughts.

"But my company says this is a rare opportunity, and if we miss it, there won't be another chance."

"The salary will be doubled, and it's a Chinese area there. My colleagues are all from China, so there won't be any difficulties in working together."

"That's what I was thinking too..."

She paused here, glancing sideways at Zhang Yonghui beside her.

Then he continued.

"I was thinking that if your uncle were to be more honest with me, and if his company really couldn't hold on, he might as well just close down and our whole family could move abroad."

"The company provides resettlement housing and education funds for senior executives who are sent abroad, which can save a lot of money."

"After all, this is a good opportunity."

The words fell.

Chen Jianji was stunned.

If that's the case...

If Zhang Xinyi's worries about separation within the family can be resolved, then wouldn't that also solve the problem?

After all, this is indeed an opportunity.

He turned his head, glanced at the young lady beside him, and asked.

What do you think?

Chen Jianji noticed her hesitation and leaned down to whisper.

"It's okay, whatever you think is fine, I'll help you."

Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips for a while before speaking.

I want to stay.

Upon hearing this...

Chen Yueting was about to say something.

Chen Jianji looked up and smiled.

"Oh dear, aunt, if your whole family goes abroad, what will happen to our family here?"

"That would be like severing ties with my family. What if I miss Xinyi?"

"Our chickens would rot if they were shipped overseas!"

Chen Yueting said helplessly, "It's not that serious. It's not like we can't come back."

Chen Jianji put away his playful smile and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Auntie, I'm about to go to university now, and I actually want to help expand the family business."

"I remember my uncle runs a logistics company, so maybe our family can provide some support through business dealings, but it will take some time."

"Um?"

Chen Guochang and Wang Suling, who were already somewhat surprised that their son could chat so fluently with their brother-in-law, were now quite taken aback.

How come they didn't know about this?

Chen Yueting frowned slightly, tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and then suddenly laughed.

"Kenki, you're still just a kid. Even if you have some insights, it's not enough to develop a chicken farm into something big."

"Perhaps you have the ability, but that's all for the future."

"But this opportunity, once missed, will be gone forever."

"Leaving a familiar place is always something to be reluctant and afraid of. Xinyi is still young, she will understand in the future."

Her voice was calm.

Chen Jianji could feel his clothes being suddenly clenched tightly.

He sighed softly and began to speak slowly.

"Auntie, if you're going to be transferred, it probably won't be that soon, right?"

"How about we make a bet?"

Chen Yueting immediately became interested.

"Oh? What are we betting on?"

Chen Jianji smiled.

"Didn't you doubt my abilities?"

"It's summer vacation now."

"Xinyi and I don't take a single penny from our families. We earn enough for our university tuition and living expenses ourselves."

"I won't make any grand pronouncements about helping my uncle's company."

"Aunt, you should give him this summer vacation. Don't rush to go abroad. Let Uncle take some time to prepare and see if he can save the company."

"Nobody loses anything, don't you think?"

Chen Yueting subconsciously exchanged a glance with Zhang Yonghui.

Chen Jianji noticed that the young lady next to him was trembling slightly.

She was clearly nervous too.

Until I don't know how much time had passed.

Chen Yueting, who had been looking hesitant, finally nodded.

"OK."

Zhang Xinyi, who hadn't dared to utter a sound throughout the entire dinner, suddenly looked up.

He looked at Chen Yueting with surprise, then at Chen Jianji.

"Really?!"

Chen Jianji glanced at her, and the young lady's eyes were shining.

"What do you think? My aunt has already agreed."

Zhang Xinyi finally couldn't help but shake his arm, her face full of excitement.

"Ah! That's great!"

Seeing how happy she was.

Chen Yueting's words came out of nowhere.

"Don't be too happy yet. Your family won't give you a single penny now. You'll have to earn it all yourself."

Upon hearing this...

Zhang Xinyi's excitement was immediately dampened.

She shrank back, looking timid.

"oh..."

...

The atmosphere at the dinner party eased considerably.

Chen Jianji could feel his parents glancing in his direction from time to time.

Soon, Chen Yueting and Zhang Yonghui seemed to be having a private conversation.

"We're full, you guys eat first."

The two of them got up and went outside.

Chen Jianji also took this opportunity to speak.

"I'm full, you guys take your time eating!"

Zhang Xinyi was a little confused when she saw this.

"Uncle and Aunt, I can't eat anymore either."

She quickly got up and chased after him.

Only Chen Guochang and Wang Suling were left staring at each other.

After a long while, the former finally asked.

"Our son... has he finally inherited the wisdom of the Chen family? He speaks so eloquently!"

"Tsk, don't you know what kind of people your Chen family is? It must have been someone's daughter who taught them that."

"Oh...that's true..."
