Chapter 1901: Winning Over Allies on All Sides 1
Before she could finish her sentence, the students sitting below had already begun to whisper their rebuttals.
"No way, I've seen him on the news; he's one of Jiangzhou's Top Ten Outstanding Youths, a very impressive person."
"Exactly, it doesn't matter what university you attend; if your personal ability is strong, you'll be strong wherever you go..."
The students muttered in low voices, and when Teacher Tian heard them, her expression grew even uglier.
Sheng Zihan realized this wouldn't do; it was fine for them to admire him, but the problem was that he was currently trying to butter up the teacher, and their comments were just undermining him.
He said, "Do you know how unreliable I was when I was in school? I am especially, especially grateful to Teacher Tian; it was her high standards and strict requirements for me that made me who I am today."
"If it weren't for the teacher being good to me and holding me to high standards and strict requirements, I would surely be a dissolute, good-for-nothing rich kid right now, so I can say that my current achievements are all thanks to Teacher Tian!"
"Although choosing to attend the Film Academy was a mistake back then, if it weren't for the teacher's guidance, I would have made even more mistakes..."
After this round of flattery, Teacher Tian's expression finally looked a bit better.
Zihan continued to press his advantage, spouting nonsense.
He kept gilding the lily for Teacher Tian, saying that his current achievements were all thanks to her earnest teachings.
If he hadn't gone to Teacher Tian's class back then, but had gone to Teacher Luo's class instead, he wouldn't be who he is today at all!
Some people might indeed succeed through encouragement-based education, but for someone like him, only Teacher Tian was the most suitable teacher.
This remark hit the mark.
The thing Teacher Tian was most unreconciled to in her life was that she hadn't bested Teacher Luo; now that a former student was affirming that her abilities were stronger than Teacher Luo's, this sentence was more effective than anything else, and her expression looked much better.
"Alright, stop praising me, I'm not as good as you say."
"Sit down and have some water; regardless of everything, you're a celebrity entrepreneur now, yet you're still acting like a student who made a mistake—it's unseemly."
Zihan finally moved Teacher Tian; he respectfully presented his gift and then gave Teacher Tian another round of intense praise.
Teacher Tian was also pulled into Zihan's camp, and she went to find her niece to ask what exactly she was thinking.
"Children are still better off with their biological parents; they are still so young, so cute, how can you bear to let the children be without a father..."
Before Tian Yuanyuan could speak, tears began to fall.
"Hey, why is this child crying?"
"Aunt, it's one thing for my parents to pressure me, but you're pressuring me too. You know what kind of person Sheng Zihan is—if others don't know, surely you do? He was fine when he was pursuing me, but he's too fickle; who knows when he'll run off with someone else. I'm truly afraid..."
Teacher Tian: "Since you know everything, why did you still give birth to his children?"
Tian Yuanyuan:...
Why did she give birth to his children?
Could she say it was because she wanted someone just like him to stay by her side for a long, long time?
The kind that would never lose her.
In truth, she loved him—loved him to the bone.
She had originally wanted one, but accidentally ended up with two!
That was what she thought in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud; the reality was too humble, and Yuanyuan had her own little pride. She couldn't let others discover how humbly she loved, even if this person was her own relative, it wouldn't do.
"His genes are quite good, I thought I shouldn't let them go to waste..."
The reason she blurted out, however, provoked her aunt's strong dissatisfaction.
She accused Tian Yuanyuan of not acting like her niece, being unserious and irresponsible toward marriage and life, and not being worthy of being a daughter of the Tian family.
She also said that even if Zihan was a bit fickle, it didn't matter; men, after all, were all the same.
Excellent men would always be chased by women, and besides, Sheng Zihan had changed a lot now and was different from before.
A man like this would be hard to find even if you searched with a lantern; don't wait until he gives up on you to regret it...
It wasn't just her aunt; her parents were saying similar things too, nagging in her ears all day long, as if she were committing a heinous crime by not marrying Sheng Zihan.
And it didn't end there.
What she couldn't tolerate most was that Sheng Zihan had also "made a move" on the children.
The two quirky little ones, before Sheng Zihan appeared, loved their mother the most.
But he appeared, and the two children immediately defected!
He would secretly pick the children up to play while they were at kindergarten, and send them back just before school let out.
The house would often have mysterious toys and various beautiful clothes appear; no need to ask, if you asked, it was "Grandma and Grandpa bought them," but this style clearly wasn't her parents' preference.
Tian Yuanyuan felt besieged on all sides, a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even Su Qiangying had advised her several times: that's enough, quit while you're ahead!
You need to have a sense of proportion, don't go too far.
When Sheng Zihan appeared before Tian Yuanyuan again, she asked with a cold face: "Sheng Zihan, are you ever going to finish? Do you have nothing better to do all day? Is there any point in pestering me every day?"
Zihan gave a firm reply: "There is a point, of course there is. The most important thing for me now is to accompany you and the children; I don't think about anything else."
"If you do this again, I'll take the children and go far away, so you'll never find us again."
"You won't."
Zihan said with certainty: "Now our parents and aunt all treat me as one of the family; even if you run to the ends of the earth, there will be someone to tip me off, and I will find you all very quickly."
Tian Yuanyuan:...
She was furious and said defiantly: "Fine, don't think that just because of this I have no other way. I'm getting married next month, to He Han."
"You are welcome to attend our wedding. After we marry, He Han will be the children's legitimate father. If you really want what's best for us, don't appear again to disturb our lives."
She gave Zihan a provocative look, and seeing his ugly expression, she turned and left with satisfaction.
Zichen wouldn't be defeated so easily.
He had people investigate, and He Han had a very intimate boyfriend, who was also his partner.
They were even married abroad; the reason they hadn't made it public was because their parents' views were conservative and they couldn't accept it at all.
He and Tian Yuanyuan were best friends, good friends.
Although his son called him Daddy, there was absolutely no relationship between them.
If it hadn't been investigated so clearly, Zihan would never have let him off so easily!
Now that Yuanyuan was using He Han as a shield, he said directly: "Alright, Yuanyuan, stop lying to me; I know He Han is gay."
"You cannot get married; he is already married abroad."
"Sheng Zihan, you are going too far. What right do you have to investigate him?" Yuanyuan protested.
Zihan apologized immediately: "Don't be angry, it's all my fault. I promise that as long as you agree to marry me, I am willing to do anything."
"Give up on that idea; I will not marry you."
Tian Yuanyuan turned and left, and that evening she received a call from an old classmate saying that Zirui wanted to talk to her.
