After Tian Yulan returned home, she seemed shrouded in gloom, her brow furrowed, her whole body radiating dejection.

Her mother Cai Juying carried in an exquisite insulated lunch box, stepping in carefully, filled with various delicious dishes she had carefully cooked.

Seeing Tian Yulan looking unhappy, Cai Juying's face was full of concern, and she hurriedly asked softly: "Lanlan, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy? Tell Mom."

Tian Yulan said listlessly: "The manager of the Gold Medal Class won't give face and refuses to accept Zi You. Mom, go home and ask Nan Shu if he can help."

Hearing this, Cai Juying's face showed embarrassment, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, she slightly furrowed her brow, wanting to speak but stopping.

Cai Juying went downstairs to prepare to return home. When she got downstairs, her heart felt as if weighed down by a large stone, heavy. The more she thought about it, the more she felt she couldn't just let it go. She felt she should go check it out herself; maybe begging the manager would work. Tian Yulan couldn't bring herself to lose face, but she could. So Cai Juying gritted her teeth and resolutely walked toward Zexuan.

Arriving at Zexuan, Cai Juying asked a staff member, then directly entered Cui Jingli's office.

Cui Jingli looked at the somewhat anxious old woman before him and slightly furrowed his brow. Cai Juying said urgently: "Manager Cui, I am Yan Ziyou's grandmother. I beg you, let our Zi You enter the Gold Medal Class. He works very hard, he just didn't perform well this time. Please make an exception."

After hearing Cai Juying's situation, Cui Jingli still decisively refused.

"Sorry, Auntie. Our Gold Medal Class has our rules; not just anyone who wants to enter can enter. Yan Ziyou's grades indeed do not meet our admission standards. We have to be responsible for every student and cannot casually break the rules."

But what Cai Juying did next was something Cui Jingli found hard to accept.

At the same time, Xia Huanhuan's grades had dropped again recently. Nan Li and Xia Junshan were extremely anxious; they had tutored her, but not only was there no effect, her grades got worse. For two consecutive class tests, she was at the bottom. Nan Li learned that more than half the children in the whole class were taking private tutoring outside, and since Tian Yulan had always spoken highly of Zexuan, she decided to go to Zexuan to learn about the situation.

Unexpectedly, when Nan Li arrived at Zexuan, she heard a woman's sobbing from afar, surrounded by teachers and parents. When she walked closer, she discovered it was Cai Juying hugging Cui Jingli's leg and refusing to let go.

Cai Juying sobbed tearfully: "Manager Cui, I beg you, let our Zi You enter the Gold Medal Class. He really needs this opportunity. As his grandmother, seeing the child anxious makes my heart ache too."

Although Cai Juying making a scene in public was indeed unseemly, considering her advanced age and that she came for her own grandson, the surrounding parents felt sympathy and spoke up for her one after another. One parent said: "Manager Cui, please make an exception. This old woman isn't having it easy. Everyone is doing it for their children."

Another parent chimed in: "Yes, Manager Cui, rules are dead, people are alive. Please help."

Nan Li saw security guards arriving one after another, worried the two sides would clash, and hurried forward to mediate. "Auntie, don't get agitated, speak nicely. Don't make a big scene."

But Cui Jingli was unmoved, stating that Zexuan was small-class teaching and had long stipulated it only recruited eight people; if Yan Ziyou insisted on joining by force, unless another parent's child voluntarily withdrew from the Gold Medal Class.

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent. After all, no one was willing to give up their child's future. Cai Juying had no other choice; under the persuasion of Nan Li and Cui Jingli, she finally ended this farce and went home alone to tell her daughter about today's ordeal.

"Lanlan, Mom went to Zexuan today, but that Manager Cui still didn't agree. Mom really has no way." Cai Juying said helplessly.

Then Cai Juying roughly explained the situation.

Although Tian Yulan found it unbelievable that Nan Li would actually speak up for Cai Juying, her focus was not on that, but she angrily accused her mother of acting on her own to cause trouble, especially in front of Nan Li, which had completely disgraced her.

"Mom, how could you do this? What are you making a scene about? And in front of Nan Li, where do I put my face? Don't you know my relationship with her?"

Cai Juying didn't understand why her daughter had such a big reaction, and said with a face full of grievance: "Lanlan, Mom isn't doing this for Zi You? Mom doesn't want to cause you trouble, but Mom really has no way."

Tian Yulan had borne too much in her heart, and she couldn't help but say: "Mom, you don't know, I've had to watch people's faces since I was young. My natal family is unreliable, I can't hold my head high, and instead I'm looked down upon by my in-laws. I can only force Zi You to study hard, so he can rely on his own abilities to make a name for himself. You making a scene like this, how can I hold my head up in front of others in the future?"

The mother and daughter parted unhappily. After Cai Juying left, Tian Yulan lay on the bed crying bitterly, her heart filled with regret and self-blame.

At the same time regretting her slip of the tongue, having said so many hurtful words to her mother, Tian Yulan chased after Cai Juying and also went out.

Seeing Tian Yulan chase out, Cai Juying's heart stirred slightly, but her expression still looked bad. She stopped her steps, quietly looking at her daughter, waiting for her to speak first.

Tian Yulan's face was full of guilt, and she hurriedly apologized: "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so rash just now. I know you did it all for me and Zi You. Don't be angry, okay?" As she spoke, she gently held Cai Juying's hand, her eyes full of regret.

Tian Yulan coaxed her for a long time before Cai Juying's expression gradually eased.

After all, which mother truly hates her children? Cai Juying sighed and said: "Lanlan, Mom isn't blaming you, Mom just feels useless, unable to help you."

Next, a glimmer of expectation flashed in Tian Yulan's eyes, and she said: "Mom, go beg Nan Shu when you go back. Maybe he has a way."

Hearing this, Cai Juying's face showed embarrassment. For so many years, she had rarely troubled Nan Jianlong with anything. She hesitated and said: "Lanlan, that's not good. You also know, I haven't asked him for much in all these years, and besides, your Nan Shu is already retired."

Seeing her mother embarrassed, Tian Yulan felt a bit anxious. She hurriedly said: "Mom, you've served Nan Jianlong for so many years, and he won't even help with a small matter. I don't know what you've been working for all these years. Just go try, maybe he'll agree."

Cai Juying was provoked by Tian Yulan's words, and a surge of grievance and unwillingness rose in her heart. She thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and agreed: "Okay, Lanlan, Mom will go back and ask him for help. But Mom can't guarantee he will definitely agree."

Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Tian Yulan's face, and she said: "Mom, as long as you go speak, there's hope. Thank you, Mom." She tightly held Cai Juying's hand, as if grasping the last straw.

Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, Cai Juying secretly made up her mind in her heart; she must do her best to fight for this opportunity for her daughter and grandson. She turned and walked toward home, her steps somewhat heavy, but filled with determination.
