Capítulo 1820: Chapter 1809: Diligent Little Qing
“Aren’t you afraid the teacher will get angry when you ask so many questions?”
“This new teacher has such a good temperant, much better than the previous one.”
“Exactly. She used to keep a stern face all day, as if soone owed her money. I was really worried she’d scare the children.”
…
If Chen Min were here, she would understand the saying “people move on, and things grow cold” and the fickleness of human relationships.
Even if she knew, with her calm deanor, she would probably act as if she didn’t hear it.
Listening to the whispers of other parents, Ning Fan felt a surge of displeasure, “A bunch of damn sycophants.”
Obviously, these parents were just trying to curry favor with the new horoom teacher through this incident.
“Thank you, Teacher Xu.”
“You’re welco. If you want to know more, you can ask in the principal’s office.”
Ning Fan nodded in thanks.
Listening to the murmurs in the classroom, Xu Huiling smiled and said, “Parents, Teacher Chen is an excellent and responsible teacher. This ti she’s gone to study so she can teach even better.”
Hearing this, a change flickered in Ning Fan’s eyes. His earlier thoughts of transferring schools quickly vanished.
With Xu Huiling’s demonstrated magnanimity, she was undoubtedly a teacher of great character.
“Looks like there’s no chance this ti.”
Ning Fan shook his head with a wry smile, letting go of his intention to inquire at the principal’s office.
It was clear that Chen Min just didn’t want to see him, so what good would it do to know her whereabouts? Seeking her out would only make her angrier.
“Forget it. I’ll just let things take their course and get through this awkward period.”
Still, Ning Fan couldn’t quite figure out one thing.
Even if everything Chen Min imagined was true.
Even if she admired Ning Fan’s character, it wasn’t necessary to go to such lengths.
First, she helped Ning Fan vent an anger.
Then she indirectly offered financial assistance.
And finally, she was even involved in restoring his freedom and interfering in his marriage.
The first two were understandable, but the last one completely exceeded the bounds of friendship.
Unless they were blood relatives, even close family wouldn’t intervene in each other’s dostic affairs.
Moreover, Chen Min and Ning Fan had known each other for less than a month. At most, their relationship could barely be called friendship.
“Could it be that she’s so kind of chivalrous woman with a good heart, eager to stand up for justice?”
Without seeing Chen Min, Ning Fan would never know the answer.
When Xu Ruolan found out Chen Min had left school, she felt even more guilty and self-blaming, “Husband, what should we do now?”
“Let’s just let it be for now. If we go looking for her, it’ll only make her more uncomfortable.”
Ning Fan comforted, “Besides, it’s not like Chen Min won’t co back. Her study tour will last until this sester ends at most.”
“Looks like that’s all we can do for now.”
Recounting the scene from that day made Xu Ruolan feel ashad, and she felt all out of sorts.
Ning Fan hugged Xu Ruolan and comforted her, “Honey, don’t worry. Chen Min isn’t the kind of petty person who would hold this against you.”
“I know.”
Xu Ruolan’s heart ached with bitterness; she couldn’t forgive herself for laughing so heartily that day.
Although it wasn’t malicious, under those circumstances, it was undoubtedly hurtful.
After a complex and restless night, Ning Fan took Nannan to school.
Now that the lie was exposed, there was no need for the temporary accommodation that was ant to cover it up.
There was a silver lining: Xu Chengyuan was ending his vacation and would return to Zhonghai in a few days.
Xu Chengyuan had already been inford of Nannan’s situation over the phone, and he instantly took a liking to the little girl with a difficult past when he finally t her.
Ning Fan introduced, “Nannan, say hello to Uncle Xu, he’s Sister Ruolan’s father.”
Nannan smiled sweetly, “Hello, Uncle.”
The direct and agreeable Nannan further endeared herself to Xu Chengyuan, “Such a good girl, Uncle will take you to buy so delicious snacks later.”
“Thank you, Uncle.”
“Oh…such a good girl.”
Xu Ruolan said, “Dad, I hope you won’t find it troubleso.”
“What’s to trouble? I liked this girl as soon as I saw her. Us grandparents and grandchildren…”
As he spoke, Xu Chengyuan gave an awkward smile and said, “Co on Nannan, let’s go, ti to get so treats.”
Watching the joyful older and younger pair walk away, Ning Fan remarked, “Your dad wants to have a grandchild.”
Xu Ruolan lowered her head, embarrassed, and said softly, “Husband, do you think I’m being too willful?”
Now that Xu Corporation is in a growth phase, the massive company can’t afford a day without Xu Ruolan, let alone ti for family planning.
Ning Fan laughed, “Of course not! We’re still young, we haven’t had enough of just the two of us yet, why rush having kids?”
“You’re so good to , darling.”
The two embraced for a while in each other’s arms, and Xu Ruolan asked, “Are you going to the company today?”
“I… I’ll head over to the Celestial Clan first to see Xiaoqing.”
Ning Fan wasn’t worried that the Celestial Clan would harm Xu Xiaoqing; he just missed his carefree little sister-in-law after not seeing her for so long.
“That’s a good idea. If I hadn’t stopped her, she would have gone to Arica to find you by now.”
“That girl is too wild, she ought to be reined in a bit.”
Xu Ruolan gave Ning Fan a charming look and said softly, “Isn’t that why we need you, dear brother-in-law?”
“Exactly. I’ll take good care of both you sisters.”
As he said this, Ning Fan swept Xu Ruolan off her feet in a princess carry.
“Husband, don’t… I have to go to work now…”
“You’re saying no now, but soon enough there’ll be a ti you’ll say yes.”
What followed was a thunderstorm of clattering noises.
Returning once again to the Celestial Clan’s stronghold, Ning Fan realized the benefits of high cultivation level.
The last ti he entered the Celestial Clan’s barrier, Ning Fan had alerted the patrol team.
But now it was completely different.
A faint glow flickered over Ning Fan’s body as he approached the barrier, blending into it seamlessly like water rging with dew.
Ning Fan decided to proceed stealthily, to assess the situation before making his presence known.
If Xu Xiaoqing was currently practicing, Ning Fan wouldn’t reveal himself to avoid interrupting her opportunity at the competition.
With the Clan Leader’s crown, Xu Xiaoqing was almost halfway into Aerial Mastery Peak.
The other half of the journey relied on slowly refining the power within the Clan Leader’s crown over ti.
Through careful cultivation, she could ascend from an ordinary person to the peak, a joy beyond bounds.
For any other cultivator, such a great opportunity would be thrilling to the point of madness.
But knowing Xu Xiaoqing as Ning Fan did, she likely wouldn’t care.
Success is achieved through diligent effort and squandered through indulgence.
No matter the talent or opportunity, if one doesn’t cherish it, having it is the sa as not having it.
Ning Fan couldn’t bear to see Xu Xiaoqing squander her blessings.
With his high cultivation, Ning Fan easily moved past the patrol team.
With the threat of the Sea Clan diminished, the Celestial Clan no longer had to live in constant fear. The atmosphere at their stronghold was significantly more peaceful, free from the tension of confrontation.
