Sabrina Sabir laughed, "Girls will be girls, Isla. Even though you can make money, your driving skills pale in comparison to your cousin's! His handling of that little car is impressive!"
In essence, what she meant was that girls would never surpass boys.

Isla Astir is exceptional: she has a car and a house. However, she will eventually get married and then, wouldn't her wealth become her husband's?
After pausing, Sabrina continued, "Your cousin is incredibly handsome and he's studying for graduate school entrance exams. I heard many of the girls at his school are infatuated with him!"
Isla's focus was on the road up ahead - after all, she was a novice driver. Hearing her aunt's words, she had to play along and say, "Yes, my cousin is incredible!"
Sabrina wore a proud expression, "Indeed, your cousin is remarkable! Most importantly, he's obedient. If I tell him not to date, he won't date. I don't want him to end up with someone from a different region. That's too unreliable, don't you agree?"
The proudest achievement of Sabrina's life was raising a prodigious son.
George Armstrong was the only one from their village who made it to Capital University.
He planned to pursue doctoral and postdoctoral studies in the future.
He might even get into politics and establish a career there.
The more Sabrina thought about it, the happier she became.
Isla nodded along.
It seemed as if Sabrina suddenly remembered something. Then, she asked, "Isla, I heard from your mother that your annual salary is close to reaching three million dollars. Is that true?"
"Yes."
"Isla, you're so impressive! I don't know what else to say, a young woman who can earn that much!" Sabrina heaped praise upon Isla before continuing, "However, always remember Auntie's advice. Absolutely do not date fellow students and especially not students from different regions. Now that you have a car and a house, you're best suited for an obedient and reliable partner who'll settle down with you. Don't let anyone deceive you!"
"Auntie might nag you a little, but she sincerely has your best interests at heart! Do you think anyone else would tell you this?"
Sabrina spoke earnestly and sincerely.
Soon enough, they arrived at her apartment complex.
Isla parked the car right at the entrance of the building.
Sabrina laughed, "We're here already? Fancy cars sure offer a smoother ride. I don't feel a thing! It's not like your uncle's rickety old car. I would start feeling dizzy just by getting inside."
"It's probably psychological. In reality, it doesn't have much to do with the car," Isla suggested.
Sabrina collected the fruit basket from the trunk, "I'm sure it does, it must have something to do with it!"
Isla didn't continue to dispute, instead, she helped carry the fruits as they headed toward the building.
Sabrina lived on the top floor, the seventh floor.
This was an old apartment allocated by Edward Armstrong's workplace.
It was a two-bedroom apartment. Sabrina and Edward occupied the secondary bedroom, while George used the master bedroom. Their daughter, Christina Armstrong, slept on a folding bed in the living room.
During the day, they would fold up the bed and come nighttime, they would draw the curtain across and it would turn into a bedroom.
By the time they had climbed to the seventh floor, Isla was panting heavily.
Sabrina laughed, "Your cousin must be home already."
After saying that, she started knocking on the door.
After knocking for a while and receiving no response, Sabrina had to put the fruit basket down, take out her keys, and open the door herself.
The lights inside the apartment were on.
As soon as they walked in, they saw George Armstrong sitting at the table, absorbed in his book.
Sabrina appeared surprised, "George, you're home!"
"Mmhmm." George barely looked up.
Sabrina gave a wry smile, "You child. When you're home, why don't you answer the door?"
"I was studying." George responded irritably.
Sabrina gave a quick laugh, "Alright, alright, you go on reading. I won't bother you anymore."
Seeming to remember something, Sabrina said, "George, your cousin Isla is here. Aren't you going to greet her?"
Isla took the initiative and greeted George, "Hello, cousin George."
George glanced at Isla, said, "mmhmm," and continued with his books.
Sabrina turned to Isla, "Isla, your cousin George is deeply involved in his psychology research. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask him for help."
"Okay." Isla nodded her head.
Sabrina looked at George again, "George, do you want some watermelon? I'll go cut some for you."
Watermelon in winter in Capital City is expensive!
Especially imported watermelon.
It costs over twenty dollars a kilogram.
Normally, Sabrina barely even dared to catch a glimpse of the fruit, let alone buy it.
"No need, I am studying," George emphasized again.
"Alright, alright. You keep studying. I won't disturb you," said Sabrina, "I will cut some and leave it here. Eat it when you are hungry."
