Zhang Xiying’s sister was about the same age as Shanshan; she was just a year older.
Seeing her reminded him of his own daughter who was cute like jade and always made others want to dote on her.
Speaking of, it has been two months since he had seen his own daughter.
He didn’t have a lot of time to think about his family when he was busy; now that he has had a couple of days off, he’d think about his two children from time to time.
They were his own children after all, he couldn’t just sever his ties with them.
Thinking about that, he started considering perhaps talking to Lin Yiyi when he got a chance to have the two kids stay with him for a few days.
By now, Zhang Xiying, who had already cleaned up the room for her little sister, quickly added, “I am planning on having Ruoruo attend a school here in City Nan. The quality of schools here is much better than the one back in the little town that she lives in right now. I wanted her here beforehand to get used to the environment.”
“How come you never mentioned that before?” Meng Yan frowned and said, “School is about to start in a little over a month. All the good schools have already stopped accepting students.”
Zhang Xiruo was already 7 years old. After summer, she’d be the age to start grade school.
Meng Yan remembered that when Little Yuran was still in kindergarten, Ms. Lin Ping had already purchased the Lin’s mansion that was still under construction at the time for the sole purpose that Little Yuran’s school would be nearby when he started.
Seeing that Zhang Xiying was so worried that she was about to start crying, he quickly comforted her, “I remember the international school in City Nan that Little Yuran is attending is privately owned. There should be something that we can do. It’d definitely be easier than getting her into a public school.”
They could always spend some money to get it done. Any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.
Zhang Xiying had a lot of faith in Meng Yan’s words and calmed down immediately upon hearing that.
Nevertheless, the issue of getting the kid into a school wasn’t as simple as they had originally thought. Parents wanted to pick the best school for their children, and the schools also wanted to pick who could attend their school.
Meng Yuran attended a privately-owned international school. The school might not have the same residential requirement like public schools, but not just anyone could get in.
School was about to start in a month, and the student lists had already been created and every new student had already been assigned to a class. The school wouldn’t just admit a new student lackadaisical. It wasn’t exactly like picking out a cabbage in the market where one could just go and pick one up whenever one wants!
Regardless, Meng Yan, who had made the promise, was frazzled. Mainly because he hadn’t expected it’d be so complicated trying to get a kid into a school…
That being said, his desire to spend a few days with his children grew stronger and stronger.
Especially when he saw how close Ruoruo was to Zhang Xiying. It reminded him of Shanshan and Yuran all the time.
He thought about it for a little bit and decided to contact Lin Yiyi first to see what she could arrange and also ask her about how Little Yuran got into the school back then.
She had some experience in this matter after all.
