The sudden news shocked the Gu family and the Mo family.
They were totally taken aback.
Jiang Yiru was aware that her disciple was going to get married soon and how much they loved each other. But she still fought to get her the chance. Based on Gu Qingyao's ability, she would definitely be able to get one of the positions.
She knew that she would not be able to return within a short time, but she still endorsed her to pursue further study overseas.
It was expensive to send a telegram in that generation, especially an urgent telegram. She still added a few sentences, trying to convince Gu Qingyao to take the opportunity.
From Jiang Yiru's point of view, marriage was important. It was not easy to find someone to get married to, but it was not enough reason to give up studying.
Gu Qingyao was only eighteen years old at present. She would only be in her twenties after she finished her study overseas. Mo Beihan was not old as well. They would not need to rush to get married.
Many men who were in their thirties and forties were still not married in this generation.
Too many people were single. After Gu Qingyao studied overseas for a few years, she could still come back and marry Mo Beihan.
The opportunity was really rare. She did not know when the next one would come. If Gu Qingyao stayed at home, she could only do some house ch.o.r.es, take care of children. Though she could learn more skills from her and carry on her calligraphy and painting, none of those could compare with a proper education in a school.
It was a pity for Gu Qingyao to not be able to enter a university within the nation.
It would be different overseas. Gu Qingyao would receive a better education.
Especially when it was approved by the government. No one in the family would be harmed by that, and no one would use it to attack the family. It was really a rare chance.
Gu Qingyao understood her teacher's words, but she kept quiet.
Studying overseas?
Actually, she wanted to do that. She did not go to a university in her previous life. She did not spend a long time overseas. She only travelled overseas a few times, but it was totally different from staying there.
She wanted to explore the outside world.
But what about her wedding!
She could also get married first and wait for the free era. She would then be able to travel freely.
But it would at least take a few years.
She would have a family with children. Would she have the time and energy to study overseas?
Mo Beihan was silent as well.
He did not expect something like that to happen.
The Gu family and the Mo family were quiet for a few days.
The Gu family hesitated. Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu were not willing to let their only granddaughter travel overseas.
No one knew what would happen overseas.
She could only go by herself now, and there would be no one there to take care of her. In the past, Mo Beihan would follow her everywhere she went. How could they let her go alone this time?
Furthermore, Yao Yao was the child of the Gu family, a landlord family.
What if something happened when she went overseas?
Gu Yunshuang could not say anything as she could not predict the future.
But it was rare to see Gu Yunshen keeping silent.
He kept himself in the house for two days.
France. If Yao Yao would be going overseas, it would be France.
He remembered that Yuying's parents mentioned France back then.
Eventually, the first person who came to look for Gu Qingyao was Mo Beihan.
He sighed as he stared at the pretty girl in front of her and said, “Pack your stuff. You'll leave with me after a few days. Take the train to the capital from the provincial capital.”
