Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Faced with the homeroom teacher's heartfelt words, Wang Xiaohua fell into silence.

He naturally understood what the homeroom teacher's words meant.

The homeroom teacher said his life would have its ceiling cut by more than half because of marrying Li Jianjia, and he couldn't agree more.

Especially since he was determined to enter the system.

The homeroom teacher's words weren't wrong in the slightest; marriage in the system is a kind of tool.

If one can make good use of this tool, the road ahead will be smoother.

After all, in the system, it's often not about ability, but about connections.

The identity of a Tsinghua University student can only guarantee his entry ticket, not guarantee his smooth sailing.

"Teacher, thank you for saying so much to me. I've actually considered all these things you've said, but I don't regret choosing to marry Jianjia."

Wang Xiaohua's tone was very calm.

The homeroom teacher could only smile helplessly:

"You haven't encountered any life dilemmas yet, so naturally you won't regret it. Wait until you enter society later, run into an insurmountable hurdle, and your love with Li Jianjia has been exhausted, then you'll know just how correct my words were."

Speaking to this point, the homeroom teacher sighed again:

"Never mind, more words are of no use. Regardless, I'll still wish you both well. Hope you can keep going. Now that you've married overcoming all difficulties, manage it well, and don't argue over trivialities."

The homeroom teacher, like a parent, earnestly admonished Wang Xiaohua.

She truly treated Wang Xiaohua as her own child.

This child was too outstanding; she couldn't bear to watch him take a crooked path.

That's why she said so much.

For any other student, she wouldn't have said this much.

Because saying these things actually already overstepped boundaries.

She wasn't the student's parents, after all, and had no responsibility to teach the student how to manage their life well.

And most students don't like this kind of earnest nagging either.

"Teacher, I'll keep your words in my heart. Rest assured, since I chose to marry Jianjia, I'll naturally manage our marriage well!"

Past nine in the evening, the gathering ended.

Everyone said their goodbyes and left.

Quite a few classmates who hadn't added Wang Xiaohua on WeChat all came over to actively ask for it.

Wang Xiaohua gave his second brother a call, having him come pick him up.

While waiting for his second brother to arrive, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel moved. Fortunately, Li Jianjia hadn't come to this gathering; otherwise, with her sensitive and fragile heart, she would definitely have been able to sense the classmates' subtle attitudes toward her, which would have made her already wounded heart bleed anew.

After waiting about ten minutes, Wang Erhai drove over.

"Third Brother, how was the gathering?"

"Not bad!"

Wang Xiaohua got into the passenger seat.

Wang Erhai said at this time:

"Let's make a trip to Uncle Chunsheng's place!"

Wang Xiaohua was stunned:

"Right now?"

Wang Erhai nodded:

"Exactly, right now. I've already bought the gifts and called Uncle Chunsheng to give him a heads-up. He said he's waiting for us to come over and have a drink together!"

Wang Erhai also said:

"Uncle Chunsheng said he has something he wants to ask you in person, so he specifically told me to bring you along!"

Wang Xiaohua was puzzled:

"What does he need to ask me? Why didn't he just call me?"

Wang Erhai smiled:

"I don't know either. We'll know when we get there."

The two of them arrived together at Niu Chunsheng's home.

They knocked on the front door.

The one who came out to open the door was Lin Xiaofang.

Lin Xiaofang was also holding a baby in her arms.

That was her second child, a little boy, already over a year old, at the babbling stage, very cute.

"Aunt Xiaofang, Happy New Year!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly handed over the gifts he'd brought.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year! Come in quick, have a seat!"

Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua walked into the living room, only to see Niu Chunsheng sitting on the sofa, smoking with a gloomy face.

There was no sign of his daughter Niu Linxin.

"Uncle Chunsheng, Happy New Year!"

Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua greeted Niu Chunsheng.

Only then did Niu Chunsheng stand up, wearing a smiling face:

"You're here, come have a drink!"

Wang Xiaohua had already sensed something was off, so he asked a question:

"Where's Lin Xin? How come she's nowhere to be seen?"

Niu Chunsheng let out a cold hmph:

"Don't mention her! I raised her for all these years for nothing! It's bad enough her studies are a mess, but she even went outside and learned a bunch of bad habits! This afternoon she quarreled with me, then ran off outside! She still hasn't come back!"

As soon as he said this, both Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua were utterly astonished.

For a moment they didn't know what to say.

At this point Lin Xiaofang spoke up:

"You can't blame her entirely. Back when you had the second child, we should have consulted her opinion more!"

Originally, Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang saw that Niu Linxin was no good at studying, and she didn't seem to have much brains for doing things either. They figured this daughter was most likely raised to be useless, so they thought about having a second child.

By the time Niu Linxin entered high school, Lin Xiaofang became pregnant.

As a result, when Niu Linxin found out about this, she was very angry, very opposed.

She was already bad at studies to begin with; even getting into high school was only because Niu Chunsheng pulled strings to let her attend as a music student.

After learning her mother was pregnant with a second child, Niu Linxin's rebellious streak grew even larger, and she became even more unwilling to study. Every few days she caused trouble at school, rapidly evolving into a spiritual young girl.

Not only did she dye her hair and pierce her ears, she even got a full sleeve tattoo.

This nearly scared Niu Chunsheng half to death with anger.

Because of this, Niu Chunsheng became even more disappointed in Niu Linxin, even to the point of giving up on her entirely.

But no matter what, she was still his own biological daughter!

Now Niu Linxin is already in her second year of high school; looking ahead, next June she'll have to attend the Gaokao.

And not only are her academic grades poor, her music specialty is also learned poorly — she can't even sing in tune. Basically she has no hope of getting into university.

So tonight, Niu Chunsheng specially asked Wang Xiaohua to come over to consult about Niu Linxin's life planning.

She's still a piece of flesh that fell from his body; no matter how disappointed, as parents they can't just ignore her!

"Xiao Hua, don't laugh at me. My daughter takes the Gaokao next year, but it's basically certain she won't get into any good school. I want to ask you how to plan her life path. I have no culture, I've failed too much in education, so I still need to learn from your experience. After all, you're successful."

Niu Chunsheng put his attitude very low.

His daughter's matters nearly drove him to depression.

After learning the full story, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Uncle Chunsheng, even if you plan a path for her, will she listen to you?"

Hearing this, Niu Chunsheng fell directly silent.

Yeah, she simply doesn't listen!

No matter how much scheming effort you spend helping her, it's useless!

Niu Chunsheng couldn't help but sigh:

"I don't know how my daughter turned out like this. Back when you came to tutor her and Wang Xiaoqian with homework, now Wang Xiaoqian is a top student in the grade's top ten, yet she's become a puddle of mud! How can the gap between people be this big!"

Speaking of this, Niu Chunsheng was angry at her failure to live up to expectations and pained by her misfortune!

A look of heart-wrenching grief!
