Chapter 1356 - There’s No Point Going (2/2)

“It’s quite a rush now, why don’t we order delivery? Or else it’d be a long wait to cook,” Lu Man suggested.

“Alright. I disagreed originally when your dad wanted to find a cook. I’m a good cook, and I don’t mind cooking for you all. If he didn’t want me to be tired, he just has to find someone to help with purchasing groceries. Well, today’s the day we move and the cook also followed Wei Zhong there. Even I got so busy I’ve forgotten about lunch,” Xia Qingwei explained.

Lu Man smiled and ordered a few dishes.

Not long after, Wei Zhong brought the people over.

“Everything’s all packed, this is the last trip,” Wang Juhuai said as he entered.

During lunch as everyone sat down to eat, Lu Man told Wang Juhuai and Xia Qingwei about her decision not to go to New York for the exchange program.

Xia Qingwei had no objections since she was rather traditional.

She thought that it would not do for one to be separated from one’s husband for a long time.

Lu Man’s decision meant that she placed more emphasis on her family.

That was good.

Looking back when one has lived to a certain age, one would come to realize that work, career, and whatnot aren’t actually that big a deal.

No matter how successful your career was, you’d still feel the emptiness when you have free time and take a rest.

When you’ve finally realized that family was more important, it seemed that the family would also be gone.

Wang Juhuai would not object, even saying joyfully, “There’s no point going. It’s the same wherever you choose to expand your career. It’s the experience that counts.”

“I think you’ll just agree with whatever decision Man Man makes.” Xia Qingwei laughed before asking Lu Man, “You’ve discussed this with Zhuoli?”

“Yep. He thought that I’d go and even considered handing matters here over to Big Brother while he accompanied me to the States for a year,” Lu Man said. “But I know he likes it less if I go, so I won’t. Anyway, going to study in New York holds not much appeal for me. I’d much rather stay and accompany you guys.”
