Lin Hao

Zhong Yi was busy in the classroom when he received a call from Zhang Wanqing. The moment he heard the phone ring, he vaguely guessed what it might be about.

He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and felt it would be better to go upstairs and say it in person. So Zhong Yi didn't say much more on the phone, took his mobile phone, and hurried upstairs.

Arriving upstairs, Zhong Yi saw Zhang Wanqing and Liu Na at a glance.

From Zhang Wanqing's expression, he became even more certain of his guess, thinking that Cui Jingli had indeed come looking for them.

Hearing that Liu Na had stopped Zhang Wanqing, Zhong Yi nodded slightly at her, showing his approval.

Then he turned to Zhang Wanqing and began to explain: "Manager Zhang, Liu Na was right to do this. I know you want to expand your connections, but we cannot agree to this so easily. Think about it—if we accept this student, aren't we just making wedding clothes for Cui Jingli? Did District Head Li call you, or did he call me? We don't even know the person, and we'd go out of our way to help? Isn't that foolish? We cannot act blindly just because of some possible benefit. This would not only violate our teaching principles but might also bring us unnecessary trouble. We should consider it carefully and not let others lead us by the nose."

Zhang Wanqing also came to her senses at this point. After all, she had less experience in the business world, but that certainly didn't mean she was foolish.

She frowned slightly, a thoughtful light in her eyes, and after a moment said: "Liu Na, go notify Cui Jingli that our class will not accept the student Yan Zi You. We cannot violate our principles for some uncertain benefits; it's not good for our company's long-term development."

Liu Na nodded and immediately replied: "Alright, Manager Zhang, I'll convey this decision right away." After speaking, she turned and left.

After receiving the notification, Cui Jingli felt helpless in his heart, but he had already been mentally prepared.

He sat in the office, sighed slightly, and muttered to himself: "Sigh, this matter can only be like this."

Then he picked up the phone to notify Tian Yulan: "Ms. Tian, you can let Yan Zi You come to enroll." Cui Jingli had no choice; he couldn't drag it on any longer, otherwise neither side would be pleased.

Tian Yulan received the call, was overjoyed, and thanked him repeatedly.

Yan Zi You entered the Gold Medal Class, and Tian Yulan was naturally extremely happy.

On the weekend, she specially bought a pile of things and took Yan Zi You to see her maternal grandfather.

Coincidentally, Nan Li's family was also there. Nan Li didn't yet know that Yan Zi You had entered the Gold Medal Class; she was still thinking that her father Nan Jianlong might be looking for connections for this matter. So bringing the children over on the weekend was also to inquire about news.

A large family gathered in the living room, and the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Seeing both daughters had come, with three generations of grandparents and grandchildren gathered together, Nan Jianlong was very happy, a relieved smile on his face.

Especially since Tian Yulan knew Nan Jianlong had given the only Gold Medal Class spot to her son Yan Zi You, she felt she was somewhat in the wrong, so she didn't act prickly toward Nan Li as usual. This made Nan Jianlong even happier.

However, who would have thought that despite guarding against everything, they still couldn't prevent it.

Yan Zi You was, after all, a child; children speak without restraint. While chatting, Yan Zi You excitedly said: "Grandpa, I'm doing great in the Gold Medal Class now; the teachers teach especially well."

Nan Li heard this and her expression changed instantly. She questioned Nan Jianlong: "Dad, what's going on? Didn't you say you were still figuring out a way? How has Yan Zi You already entered the Gold Medal Class?"

Nan Jianlong stammered, not knowing how to answer: "This... this..."

Nan Li looked at her father's appearance and was completely disheartened.

This family dinner ended unhappily. Just after Nan Li and the others left with their front feet, Nan Jianlong was filled with guilt and helplessness in his heart. He flung away Cai Juying, who wanted to step forward to support him, his face full of vexation.

Cai Juying said with a face full of worry: "Old Nan, don't be angry. This isn't your fault." But Nan Jianlong said nothing and went directly into the room; the room door closed with a "bang," and the muffled sound seemed to speak of his inner conflict and helplessness.

Leaving Cai Juying standing there, at a loss. She stood there blankly, her eyes full of worry and confusion, her lips trembling slightly as she said softly: "Old Nan, what's wrong? Don't be like this."

Xia Huanhuan returned home and hid in the bedroom, her small body curled into a ball, tears flowing down like beads from a broken string.

She sobbed as she cried out: "Grandpa doesn't like me anymore, wuu wuu... Why does Grandpa treat me like this?"

Nan Li sat by the bed, her eyes red, gently stroking her daughter's hair while crying heartbrokenly. She choked up as she said: "Huanhuan, don't be sad; Grandpa doesn't dislike you; he might have his difficulties."

But her own heart was also full of grievance and disappointment; she didn't understand why her father would make such a choice.

After comforting her daughter to rest, Xia Junshan saw Nan Li sitting on the sofa playing games to vent her emotions.

He walked over, sat down beside Nan Li, and gently held her hand. Xia Junshan couldn't help but recall the scene back then when Nan Li was pregnant and giving birth. At that time, Nan Jianlong insisted on waiting outside the delivery room, his face full of anxiety and anticipation.

He paced back and forth nonstop, muttering: "Li Li and the child must be safe." Until the delivery went smoothly and mother and daughter were safe, he finally showed a relieved smile.

Although Nan Jianlong's behavior this time was indeed chilling, Xia Junshan knew he had deep feelings for Nan Li; perhaps he had unavoidable hardships.

Xia Junshan said softly: "Li Li, Dad might have his difficulties; don't be too sad."

Nan Li said with red eyes: "What difficulties could make him so biased? I'm really disappointed."

The next morning, Yan Peng, knowing he was in the wrong, made an appointment with Xia Junshan to play basketball as an apology. He sent Xia Junshan a message: "Junshan, come out and play basketball; I know we were wrong this time; give me a chance to apologize."

But Xia Junshan neither responded nor showed up. Yan Peng sighed helplessly, his heart full of guilt. He muttered to himself: "Sigh, I really messed things up this time."

Nan Li's mother, Nan Jianlong's ex-wife Zhao Na, learned about the family dinner uproar from Xia Chaochao and hurriedly called Nan Li to understand the situation. Nan Li cried over the phone about her grievances and disappointment: "Mom, Dad is too much; how could he treat Huanhuan like this?"

After hearing this, Zhao Na felt heartbroken and immediately rushed to Nan Jianlong's home, scolding Nan Jianlong soundly. "Nan Jianlong, how can you be so biased? Li Li is also your daughter! How could you treat her like this? Do you still have a conscience?"

Because neighbors and passersby came to watch the excitement, Nan Jianlong felt utterly ashamed.

His face turned bright red; he wanted to retort but didn't know where to start. Especially hearing Zhao Na curse even his ancestors, he was so furious that his blood pressure rose and he actually developed a fever.

Seeing this, Cai Juying hurriedly went to take care of Nan Jianlong, busily getting him medicine and pouring water. Cai Juying said: "Old Nan, don't be angry; your health is important."

Cai Juying intended to call Nan Li and Tian Yulan to have them come see Nan Jianlong, but Nan Jianlong refused to see anyone, muttering in a daze that he never owed them anything. "Don't call; I don't want to see anyone; I don't owe them anything."

Cai Juying looked at Nan Jianlong helplessly, her heart full of worry.
