Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1797 - 1798: Wealthy Family Eldest Granddaughter 61

Chapter 1797: Chapter 1798: Wealthy Family Eldest Granddaughter 61

Mei Ka is bitter with suspicion about life, but there’s a type of coffee that can make people ascend directly, and that’s ultra-concentrated black coffee. Even though Zhang Yu hasn’t drunk it many times, every time he does, the thought of dying crosses his mind.

His deskmate watched Zhang Yu begin to tackle problems, truly envious, "Zhang Yu, you, from a family with a mine, why are you working so hard?"

They have no choice; they must study diligently, or else they won’t get into college, and who knows what their future holds.

With good grades, Zhang Yu’s admission to a good university is just icing on the cake. Even if his grades aren’t good, he at least has a fallback of working in the family business, easily earning a high salary, with a future husband who’ll be young and talented—it’s enviable just thinking about it.

Family with a mine? Zhang Yu’s pen never stopped. He didn’t need to turn his head to know that his deskmate’s question interested quite a few classmates; surely, they were all listening carefully.

"Family with a mine?" Zhang Yu chuckled, "That’s got nothing to do with me."

"I’m not the family heir; that’s my cousin, my uncle’s son’s mine."

"I’m just an orphan girl." Hmph, does she really not know how these people talk behind her back? Saying she curses her father and mother, calling her an orphan.

The leader of those gossipers is her good deskmate.

The deskmate realized Zhang Yu seemed a bit different now, sharper. And to speak like this—she instantly felt somewhat awkward and guilty.

"Even though I’m an orphan girl, at least my parents left me something, and I have a grandfather, so studying abroad is no issue."

"You’re different." Zhang Yu looked at her deskmate, "Your grades have regressed again."

"If you don’t work harder, you won’t make it into college."

"Zhang Group’s recruitment standards are getting higher. Right now, they accept resumes from college graduates, but few get hired unless they’re really capable."

"In four years, maybe even regular college graduates won’t get in. Once the real estate company starts running, Zhang Group enters a fast development period, expanding quickly, and attracting many people." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Work hard." In the past life, this one came begging the original owner to give her a hand because they were desk mates.

The original owner softened, recalling the decent interactions they had as classmates, allowing her to become her assistant. But it turned out this person was a distant relative of Zhang Yutong, intentionally placed beside Zhang Yu.

She betrayed the original owner hard in the past life, pinned the blame on her, and thinking about it made Zhang Yu furious.

In the past, she distanced herself, kept clear not to engage with Zhang Yutong, to avoid raising suspicion, allowing them to arrange things later.

Now, Zhang Yutong is about to become the former Third Young Madam of Zhang Family. So even if she knows, what difference does it make?

"By the way, do you know?" Zhang Yu whispered into her deskmate’s ear, "Your cousin or aunt, I forgot how you should address Zhang Yutong."

"I can’t be bothered to think about it. She’s soon not going to be Madam Zhang Hai, she’s getting laid off from Zhang Family."

The deskmate was shocked. Hearing Zhang Yu mention Zhang Yutong’s name made her somewhat panicked because that person had instructed her not to let Zhang Yu know about their relationship.

Clearly, she had been doing quite well all along; how did Zhang Yu come to know about this?

But soon there was no time to ponder where the problem lay, as Zhang Yu’s shocking news left her stunned, "What? What did you say? How will they divorce?"

No, terrible, doomed. Her deskmate realized she had screwed up, said something she shouldn’t have. Just as she was about to deny it, now the most crucial thing was, how could Zhang Yutong be divorcing?

"It’s simple; you didn’t know? Zhang Family’s eldest grandson, Zhang Yutong’s nephew, gambled outside, owing at least two million in gambling debts, and it’s borrowed from loan sharks, with daily interest of tens of thousands."

"Zhang Yutong secretly sold the house my uncle gave her, probably even took their savings to pay off the debt." Zhang Yu knew Zhang Family values face, and they wouldn’t spread this around.

No problem, the Zhang Family used her deskmate to brainwash her, pit her in various ways, so now it’s just right to use this to the benefit. Otherwise, Zhang Yutong’s arrangements would be wasted; it’s only fair to return in kind.

What? The deskmate was astonished, "What? What did you say, who owes two million in gambling debts, and it’s loan sharks?"

"I never said anything," Zhang Yu certainly wouldn’t admit it, "Alright, I’m going to tackle problems."

Everyone saw how agitated the deskmate was reacting, discussing gambling debts and loan sharks; it was thrilling and certainly sparked their curiosity.

But seeing Zhang Yu quietly tackling problems, without a doubt, the news was likely from her. Yet, they didn’t dare ask.

Instead, they turned to asking Zhang Yu’s deskmate, but how could she dare say? If it’s Zhang Yu’s false news, she’d be humiliated.

If it was true, and the news spread, Zhang Yu would surely deny it, and she’d be the one in trouble. Neither Zhang Family nor Zhang Family could handle her, "No, no."

Seeing her panicked expression, they refused to believe her but couldn’t insist when she wouldn’t speak, and with the class bell ringing and the teacher waiting at the door, they had no choice but to shut up.

Her deskmate was unsettled all day, distracted, thinking about how if Zhang Yutong wasn’t Zhang Family’s daughter-in-law, her parents’ jobs at Zhang Group wouldn’t last.

Plus, with Zhang Family owing so much to loan sharks, could they repay? If Zhang Yutong was still Madam Zhang Hai, they could easily settle it, no question.

But once she’s no longer Zhang Hai’s wife, not an in-law of Zhang Group’s heir, could Zhang Family pay back?

Zhang Yu said that the daily interest was tens of thousands; with her parents earning high salaries from Zhang Yutong’s connection, their annual income was just a little over ten thousand, not enough to cover a few days’ interest for the other party.

Her deskmate returned home dazed, and just as she was about to talk to her family about it, she heard her parents say that Zhang Family had a way to strike it rich, inviting them to wealth.

Her deskmate heard this and instantly leapt from her chair, "What? Zhang Family said there’s a way to get rich, inviting you to wealth? Did...did you give them money?"

Her parents looked at her startled expression, "Yes, they asked, and promised certain profit, saying invest ten thousand, and annually you’ll get at least fifteen hundred in dividends."

Her parents were excited hearing this, "It’s a pity we only have a hundred thousand." Otherwise, if they had money, they could invest more.

Listening to her parents talk about the amount they invested, and the rest of the relatives’ investments, "Finished, finished."

"Where does Zhang Family have a way to strike it rich? Zhang Yutong is about to divorce Zhang Hai; she won’t even be the wealthy wife anymore."

"Even if Zhang Family had a way to strike it rich, they wouldn’t include a former daughter-in-law in that plan."
