Chapter 1597: How to Pass the Parents' Test

~7 min read 1,347 words

Fast Chinese.

Litian said indifferently, "What's the difference? Aren't they both teachers?"

"Middle school teachers have it very hard."

"With you here, it won't be hard."

"Do your parents know?"

"They don't know yet."

Lu Feifei slumped onto the chair like a deflated balloon: "It's over. They will definitely hate me to death. I've lured their son to this remote mountain corner."

Litian said very firmly: "They won't. They are very open-minded parents; they will understand the decision I've made!"

Lu Feifei thought her boyfriend was just comforting her and didn't take it to heart at all.

She didn't think Madam Sheng would understand; for starters, she didn't like her to begin with.

Although it was tacitly accepted later on, it certainly couldn't be called liking, and now that this matter had come up, Madam Sheng's impression of her could only get worse!

Whenever Lu Feifei thought of Litian's mother, she felt anxious and uneasy; no matter how her boyfriend comforted her, she was terrified.

Sheng Family.

Litian called and asked his mother: "Mom, how is your health lately?"

"Quite good."

"And Dad?"

"Your dad is quite good too."

"Neither of you has high blood pressure, right? And there's nothing wrong with your hearts, right?"

Shi Youxuan felt Litian's words were strange, as if he wanted to express something but didn't dare to say it.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, just showing normal concern for you." Litian prevaricated.

Shi Youxuan said firmly: "No, you definitely have something going on. Tell me, I can take it."

"Are you sure?"

"Stop talking nonsense, speak!"

Litian said: "Mom, I've resigned from school, and I'm not pursuing my postgraduate studies anymore..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang" on the other end, as if something had been dropped on the floor.

Immediately after, Shi Youxuan let out an "ouch," and the call was disconnected!

Shi Youxuan was watering flowers when she took the call. Hearing that Litian had resigned from school and was not pursuing his postgraduate studies, she lost her grip on the watering can, and it fell and hit her foot!

She threw away her phone and held her foot, crying out in pain!

Her husband came out of the room, first checking if her foot was injured, and after finding it was fine, he mocked her: "You really are becoming more capable; you can even drop a watering can on your own foot while watering flowers."

If it were any other time, Shi Youxuan would have bickered and traded barbs with her husband.

But today she didn't; she wasn't in the mood.

Shi Youxuan said: "Litian has dropped out."

"Why?"

Sheng Hanyu's expression changed.

He pulled a long face, looking like a storm was about to break.

At this moment, Litian's phone rang again.

Shi Youxuan originally wanted to be stubborn and not answer, but she couldn't; she had to figure out why her son wasn't studying anymore.

The call connected, and Litian asked repeatedly: "Mom, are you okay? What happened just now? What fell over? Are you hurt..."

Shi Youxuan said crossly: "I'm fine, I'm not dead. You don't need to say anything else, tell me why you dropped out?"

Litian: "I've become a middle school teacher in Phoenix Town, the vice principal."

Shi Youxuan nearly fainted.

As expected, it was for Lu Feifei again.

Just as she was about to reprimand him, Litian continued: "Mom, I've been your obedient child from childhood to adulthood, right? I've basically never done anything out of line, but I don't want to be obedient in everything. I also want to make choices according to my own heart."

"But I've known since I was little that I'm different from my other siblings, so I should be sensible and let you worry less... This is the most willful choice I've ever made. Can you forgive me this once?"

Shi Youxuan:...

Litian was right; from childhood to adulthood, he was indeed the most sensible and obedient child in the family, the one who gave her the least amount of worry.

Sometimes she would even have a momentary trance, feeling that among all her children, only Litian had come to repay a debt of gratitude, while the rest had come to seek revenge!

Boys and girls combined, only Litian was the one who gave her the least trouble.

But now he said that being "sensible" wasn't his true heart, and he wanted to be willful once. Could she refuse him?

The words of reprimand could no longer be spoken.

But while she could refrain from reprimanding her son, Shi Youxuan blamed Lu Feifei: "I knew it was because of that woman. Nothing good ever comes from you being with her. That woman is just narrow-minded; she's afraid that you'll surpass her in the future and dump her, so she dragged you down, right?"

Litian:...

Sure enough, women understand women better.

His girlfriend's worries had become reality; his mother really did have a deep-seated prejudice against Feifei, didn't like her, and blamed all the mistakes on her.

He explained: "It's not like that, Feifei is not that kind of person, you have a prejudice against her..."

Before he could finish, Shi Youxuan hung up the phone.

Her son wouldn't listen to a word she said; she couldn't even talk to him anymore. This Lu Feifei was truly a femme fatale.

Shi Youxuan decided she would go to Phoenix Town in person.

Litian was dejected, and Lu Feifei immediately understood what was going on.

"Did you call your mom?"

"Yeah."

"You told her about you dropping out of school, right?"

"I told her."

"She scolded me, didn't she?"

Litian:...

He lied: "Not at all, don't overthink it." He was not good at lying, and when he lied, he didn't dare to look his girlfriend in the eyes.

Lu Feifei said understandingly: "It's fine, even if she scolded me, it would be normal. Anyone would find it hard to understand. If his mother doesn't understand me, I understand her."

Although she understood, she was still worried: "Your mom won't come all the way here to break us up, will she?"

"She won't... I think."

Litian didn't dare to be certain anymore.

His mother was very open-minded, but in her "open-mindedness," Feifei was excluded.

Shi Youxuan got off the plane and was dumbfounded!

"What kind of place is this?"

All around were nothing but high mountains and wasteland; not a trace of urban civilization could be seen. It could be described as a scene of utter desolation.

She really couldn't imagine that there was such a desolate place in Jiangzhou.

It seemed she hadn't spent enough time traveling; she should go out more.

But this place, she wouldn't even want to come here for a vacation!

The scenery was very poor.

If getting off the plane was shocking enough, everything Shi Youxuan encountered on the road afterward left her speechless.

After leaving the airport, she couldn't even find a decent car to go to Phoenix Town. Among the vehicles soliciting business outside the airport, there was actually a tractor?

Shi Youxuan finally hailed a three-wheeled motorcycle, which bounced and rattled as it headed toward Phoenix Town.

The road was very difficult to travel; it was actually a dirt road, with high mountains on one side and a cliff on the other.

With the three-wheeler driving on such a road, Shi Youxuan was terrified, fearing that if she wasn't careful, she would lose her life right here!

The driver was not old, looking to be in his early twenties. The young man was very talkative, and seeing that Shi Youxuan was a bit scared, he comforted her.

"Don't be afraid, big sister. I drive very steadily. I've walked this road since I was a child; there won't be any problems."

To ease her nervous mood, Shi Youxuan started chatting with the young man.

"This road is so difficult to travel, why hasn't anyone repaired it?"

"They do repair it. The country takes good care of us and repairs it every year..."
