As for Tonglai? Wang Xiangxiu firmly believed her son could get into university. Although he wasn't in the same grade as Hutong, academically, Tonglai was stronger. Besides, Tonglai was an arts student, and she had some confidence in him. Even if he didn't get in this year, she believed he could retake the exams. And if he had to look for a job, he'd have more options than Jinlai.
So, this job was really only suitable for Jinlai.
While Jinlai seemed to have turned over a new leaf, no one could say for sure how long it would last. His change of heart came from guilt over the incident with the kidnapper, and his desire to become a better person. But how long would that desire last? Who could know?
If he reverted to his old ways over time, she'd be left worrying again.
