Chapter One.
------------
Lan Suming’s appearance, no matter the era, is extrely popular. He stands around 184 cm tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose, red lips, and white teeth, and a robust physique, absolutely the prince charming in the hearts of unmarried girls.
Or perhaps due to his excellent personal condition, there is a noticeable arrogance in his gaze toward girls. Anyway, this is how a few people feel about this new teacher now.
Because of his hesitation just now and his warning to everyone, Lin ngran, who originally thought he was straightforward and admired him sowhat, instantly changed her impression of him.
How is he a straightforward man; he’s clearly a pompous king! They arrived first and hadn’t said anything about him, yet he treated himself as a big deal. If it weren’t for the curiosity about Lan’s real intention in coming to find Qin Yibo, she would have surely walked away!
Chuxia, Yang Xiaoli, Wu Jingbo didn’t like Lan Suming that much either. Even if he’s a teacher, does he really need to act so high and mighty? In everything, shouldn’t we follow the order of arrival?
Li Xinli had a good temper and an instinctual respect and fear of teachers, making her the only one who responded, "Teacher Lan, don’t worry. We will definitely keep our mouths shut and won’t tell on you. If you think it’s inconvenient, we can leave imdiately."
Lan Suming looked at her blandly, "No need." He then turned to Qin Yibo and spoke, "I’ve inquired about your situation, and I personally do not agree with this way of handling it.
However, the situation is as it is now, so you might just have to accept this outco. So I’d like to ask, Professor Qin, what are your plans for the future?"
"Well..." Qin Yibo mused, then smiled wryly, "The event occurred too suddenly; I haven’t figured out what steps to take next."
"What are your requirents and expectations for your next job, Professor Qin?"
Qin Yibo’s smile turned even more bitter, "At my age, I must take responsibility to support my family. As long as I have a job that doesn’t affect others, I don’t dare demand or expect anything more."
Wu Jingbo eagerly interjected, "Uncle, Grandpa hopes you can co back." She then turned to Lan Suming, "Teacher Lan, Professor Qin is my grandfather’s student. They separated due to so misunderstanding years ago, and now my grandfather is eagerly hoping for his return."
Lan Suming nodded, "Then forget what I said."
"Teacher Lan, are you here to introduce a job to Professor Qin?" Lin ngran asked curiously.
"Sort of."
"Then I owe you an apology..." Lin ngran stood up and bowed deeply to him, "Just now, seeing your aggressive deanor, I thought you were here to show off to Professor Qin, which made find you particularly annoying. I’m really sorry; I misunderstood you."
"Mm."
Lin ngran: "..." Could this person’s deanor be any more straightforward? Not even Chuxia’s family’s division commander Tongzi is as annoying or pompous as him; what right does he have?
Chuxia and the others also felt quite speechless about Lan Suming’s response. Sir, can you at least say a couple more words? This abrupt acceptance of a student’s apology—is it really okay?
Especially since the student wouldn’t have apologized if he hadn’t known what she thought. Frankly, this apology wasn’t necessary; his deanor now seed as if it was deserved...
"Professor Qin, if you need my help, just call ..." Lan Suming handed a slip of paper to Qin Yibo, "I recognize you for being a responsible man, and I’m willing to help you because your parents’ actions moved . Rest assured, my assistance is not..."
His voice was interrupted by a "bang" as the door swung open, and everyone looked over simultaneously to see a woman in her forties standing in the doorway with a sullen face. She was clearly taken aback by the number of people in the room.
"Mom, what’s wrong?" A twelve or thirteen-year-old delicate girl stuck her head in and was also full of surprise upon seeing the room full of people. She instinctively looked toward her father, "Dad, who are all these people?"
"Do you even need to ask? They must be his students." Qin’s Wife took over her daughter’s words, snorting coldly and showing the piece of paper in her hand, "I’ve already written up the divorce proof, where’s yours?"
"You..." Qin Yibo looked at his wife with anger, unsure what to say. Even if they were really going to divorce, she didn’t need to announce it in front of so many people, right?
He had just been thinking about how to cover it up, but now, she revealed everything.
In front of the students, it was easier to say, given how long they’ve been together, along with the connection with Elder Wu, he didn’t want to hide it from them. But this Teacher Lan, whom he’s only just t for the first ti, even if the other person kindly wants to help him, he doesn’t want to show his scars to them, right?
"What are you ’whatting’? I told you a long ti ago to hurry up and deal with this matter. Your current status is still in the school, and a certificate from the school works perfectly well. What do you an by procrastinating?
Qin Yibo, take a good look at the people around you, your classmates, your friends, which one of them isn’t living better than you? Originally, I could tolerate your cowardice, but what now?
Parents who haven’t cared for you one bit your whole life suddenly co over and turn our lives upside down. I won’t stop you from fulfilling your filial duties, but I can’t let our children suffer along with you.
Don’t feel too wronged; if you hadn’t accepted that baggage at the ti and acknowledged that it was sothing your parents gave you, none of this would have happened.
Everything today is caused by you alone, can’t bla anyone else. I know you bla for not allowing you to save face in front of everyone, but now, what use is face?
I want to announce this matter in front of everyone, let everyone know that there is no longer any relationship between us, the children don’t have any relation to you either.
From now on, no matter what happens to you, it won’t involve the three of us. Qin Yibo, from now on, you be the filial son, I’ll be the mother, we’ll stay out of each other’s way.
Today, I brought Zhaozhao and Qiangqiang over for you to see them one last ti. After today, we don’t want to see you again, and please don’t disturb our lives anymore."
Without waiting for Professor Qin to speak, she looked at the people in the room, "You’ve all heard what I said today, I ask you to be witnesses. If one day we’re dragged into sothing because of this, please speak the truth. I would be extrely grateful."
"Madam..." Lin ngran hesitated, looking at her, "The professor is really sad right now; if you leave like this, wouldn’t it be hurting him deeply?
Of course, we are juniors, not in a position to tell you what to do, but seeing a good person like Professor Qin suffering like this, we’re all really unwilling to stand by.
You and the kids are Professor Qin’s strongest emotional support. If you give up on him, he will be even more miserable. If you’re concerned about being implicated, don’t worry, with us here, we’ll surely jointly protect Professor Qin’s safety.
As for Professor Qin’s work, we’ll certainly help to satisfy him, and to satisfy you, as long as you can stand by Professor Qin’s side with your brother and sister at this ti, okay?"
"You help him?" Qin’s Wife raised an eyebrow, "You are all his students, aren’t you?"
"Yes." Lin ngran nodded.
"Then don’t be offended by my harsh words, what ability do you have right now to help him?" Qin’s Wife sighed, "Okay, suppose your family conditions are indeed good enough to help him, but what about your family mbers?
When people encounter issues, they all prioritize their own interests first. Facing this situation in his family, let alone you, even his friends of many years wouldn’t step up to help.
Of course, you might deny what I’m saying, I believe you honestly wish to help him now, but I also believe you can’t rule your household now.
Therefore, everything you’re saying doesn’t stand. I speak very practically, you might disdain for not being able to share hardships with him, but that’s because I am a mother.
I can’t let him make my two children hang their heads forever, nor can I let my two children ruin their future for him. The children are mine and his. By doing this, I am genuinely doing what’s best for him.
Qin Yibo, if you agree with what I’m saying, then go and get the certificate early, don’t wait until everyone regrets it..." Qin’s Wife looked at the son and daughter, "Whatever you want to say to your father, say it now, there will be no opportunity later."
"Dad, don’t hate Mom, she’s doing it for and my brother..." Qin Zhaozhao stepped forward and held Qin Yibo’s hand, sniffing, "I can’t bear to leave you either, but I know if I follow you, it would only be dragging you down. Dad, take good care of yourself. When my brother and I grow up, and have the ability to support you and Mom, we’ll reunite with you."
"Zhaozhao!" Qin’s Wife frowned and glared at her daughter, Qin Zhaozhao looked at her pitifully, "Mom, I really think that way, I don’t want our family to scatter like this."
"Dad, Grandma and Grandpa didn’t want and sister to co, Mom insisted on bringing us..." Qin Qiangqiang looked seriously at his father, "If you are angry with Mom, you’re being petty!"
Qin Yibo, who was initially boiling with rage, cald down, his wife’s actions seed heartless, but it was the best way for the children. The events from years ago were still fresh in his mory, his wife had been terrified... He sighed, "Okay, I’ll go to the school to get the certificate."
"Good, once you have the certificate, call my office, we’ll go to the civil affairs office together..." Qin’s Wife paused, looking at her husband, "Take good care of yourself, don’t push too hard."
"I know." Qin Yibo looked at her seriously, "Before you ca, I was very angry, quite resentful towards you, but now, I don’t feel angry or resentful at all. Thank you." (To be continued.
