I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1077: Too Early

Dear fans of Four Seasons Leeks, the latest chapter of "1990, I'm Back" has been released!

Watching his stepdaughter's retreating figure, Huang Erhe asked Cheng Jing, "Was it because of Miguo's boyfriend?"

Cheng Jing nodded, then said with dissatisfaction, "How old is she? She's already in such a hurry to date."

Huang Erhe shook his head. Mi Guo was his stepdaughter, and there were some things he couldn't say.

"Alright, talk to her properly later, don't get anxious or upset."

Cheng Jing didn't say anything more, but her worries didn't lessen at all.

She is not a rigid mother; she too has been young, has been in love, and has enjoyed the sweetness of love, but things are different now.

Miguo was brought into the Huang family by her child back then.

Although Huang Erhe treated her and Miguo very well, the Huang family did not look down on her because she was a second-time bride with a daughter.

But Cheng Jing kept reminding herself that she couldn't let anything happen to her daughter, and she couldn't let people gossip about her.

Especially a family like the Huang family, otherwise she wouldn't have become an older mother.

She never told Miguo about these inner pressures, and besides, she was still young and there were some things she didn't understand.

Furthermore, there are some things you can't say too explicitly to her, otherwise it might backfire and cause trouble.

But she would definitely say what needed to be said.

As evening approached, the monks and Taoist priests went to rest, and the number of people coming to pay their respects gradually decreased.

Zhang Yun also took her two sons to the accommodations arranged for them. Zeng Lijuan and Qian Jiazhen accompanied Zeng Jiahua to discuss the funeral arrangements, since Zeng Jiahua was the only son and he had to be the one to start the process.

Except for Huang Erhe, who had to stay to keep watch, Cheng Jing took her children back to their villa.

Shortly after entering the room, Cheng Jing said to her stepson, "Maowa, play with your sister for a while. Miguo and I need to say a few words."

Maowa glanced at the mother and daughter, guessing what it was about. "Dandan, let's go for a bike ride, okay?"

"Great!" Xiao Dandan was overjoyed.

After the brother and sister left, the mother and daughter sat across from each other at a huanghuali octagonal table.

Cheng Jing cut to the chase: "Miguo, did you listen to what I told you today?"

Migo kept her head down, constantly twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, and remained silent.

Cheng Jing said earnestly, "I'm not trying to break you two up, I just think it's too early. You're only a sophomore now, you still have two years before graduation, and everything in the future is still unknown. You have a boyfriend now, what if he wants to go back to his hometown later?"

"He said he would stay in Shanghai." Migo looked up.

Cheng Jing was a little angry: "And they're from out of town."

Upon hearing this, Migo retorted sharply: "What's wrong with outsiders?"

Cheng Jing slammed her hand on the table in anger: "So what if he's from out of town? Let me tell you, I'm not discriminating against people from out of town, but the reality is right here. Do you know his family situation? Do you know what his parents do? Do you know how high housing prices are in Shanghai? Can his family afford it?"

Migo bit her lip: "His parents aren't like that."

Cheng Jing interrupted her daughter without any politeness: "Not that kind? I know what you're trying to say. You mean that Xiao Ji isn't from a wealthy family, right? Mi Guo, I'm not a snob, and neither is your father, but you need to think carefully about what kind of future you'll be facing with the person you choose, given our family's situation."

These words silenced Migo.

She knew what her mother meant.

What kind of family is the Huang family? They are the richest family in Asia. Even if she is just a stepdaughter, she is still a member of this family in the eyes of outsiders. The other half she chooses will have to endure the scrutiny and criticism from the outside world in the future.

That's why she hid her identity as Huang's stepdaughter from Ji Feng.

You should know that while her peers were still struggling to make ends meet, she had a trust income of $30,000 a month, which is more than 200,000 RMB in China! And it was deposited into her bank account on time.

She has had this money since she turned eighteen. Not only her, but all the children of the Huang family who turn eighteen will have it. The only difference is that the monthly trust income of the Huang family children from collateral branches, especially the girls, will be taken back by the Huang family trust after they pass away in their old age. It cannot be passed on to their children or husband's family.

Cheng Jing continued to persuade her, "Listen to me, focus on your studies first. If you really like someone, then stay in touch, but don't rush into anything. Wait until you graduate, get a job, and have your own career before you think about it, okay?"

Migo nodded: "I understand!"

Cheng Jing couldn't tell whether her daughter was just being perfunctory or had actually taken her words to heart, but for now, this was all she could do.

That evening, Cheng Jing handed her youngest daughter over to Mi Guo, instructing her to take care of her younger sister while she went to the mourning hall to keep vigil with her father.

When they arrived at the mourning hall, Huang Erhe was eating alone in the dining room of the west wing. The three brothers took turns eating there.

Upon seeing Cheng Jing, Huang Erhe casually asked, "How did your talk with Mi Guo go?"

Cheng Jing sat down, looking worried: "What else can we do? She agreed verbally, but who knows what she's really thinking? She's twenty years old now, and besides, I can't control her finances."

Huang Erhe advised, "Don't worry, Miguo is a sensible child and won't do anything reckless."

Cheng Jing sighed: "I know she knows what she's doing, but I'm just worried that she's too naive and might get scammed. We don't know anything about that guy, and what if he's just a smooth talker? We don't want to end up losing both our money and our love."

Huang Erhe was silent for a moment, then said, "How about I ask someone to inquire about it?"

Cheng Jing thought for a moment and shook her head: "Forget it, let's not make such a big fuss. If Mi Guo finds out, she'll definitely be unhappy."

Huang Erhe asked, "So you're just going to get anxious like this?"

Cheng Jing gave a wry smile: "This is all we can do now."

Huang Erhe comforted him, "Alright, don't think about it too much. After things are settled here, let Maowa go and take a look, get to know them. Young people are easier to talk to."

Cheng Jing nodded; that was the only way.

As night deepened, the candles inside the mourning hall continued to burn.

Xiao Dandan was already asleep, but Miguo was wide awake; her mind was a jumbled mess.

She listened to her mother's words, but she was still somewhat unwilling.

Ji Feng is a good guy, and he treats her very well. Should she give up just because it's too early?

This made her very conflicted, and she couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.

When she woke up the next morning, she had dark circles under her eyes and didn't look well.

When Maowa saw this, he asked her, "What's wrong? Is Auntie trying to break up this couple?"

After hearing this, Migo glared at her brother resentfully, but didn't say anything.

Maowa persisted, "I'm telling you, when we get back to Shanghai, bring the person here for me to see. If I think she's alright, I'll talk to your aunt for you."

Upon hearing this, Migo's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? We're like siblings, after all!"

Migo smiled and extended her hand: "Then it's a deal!"

Maowa slapped Migo's hand away.

"Come on!"
