The Beautiful Stepmother from the Eighties: Marrying a Factory Director to Raise Kids Chapter 505

After Si Nian was reborn, her parents indeed beca anxious.

The fact that she had ntioned breaking off the engagent that day had already caused such a stir that the entire family compound knew about it.

Si's Father and Si's Mother were furious, pointing at her forehead and scolding her incessantly.

However, Si Nian was solely focused on her studies. In this life, she would no longer think about going to Fu Yang's school. She wanted to work harder, leave this city, and get into the best universities, Jinghua or Qinghua.

She wanted to stay far away from all of this.

Her fate in her previous life had been too tragic. She had lost her education and lost him.

She couldn't swallow her pride to marry into a rural village.

She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

That was why she had chosen death.

But in this life, she still had a choice. In the few days since her rebirth, her mind had been incredibly clear, and she realized that she could perfectly well live without him.

Fu Yang had been staying in the family compound these past few days. Hearing that the two of them had fallen out, quite a few girls who admired him were looking for opportunities to visit him.

Only Si Nian remained completely quiet.

Seeing that she wouldn't listen to their advice, Si's Father and Si's Mother had no choice but to go over personally to diate.

Fortunately, Father Fu and Mother Fu knew their son's character and did not bla Si Nian.

Moreover, they believed that marriage was not a trifling matter, and it was impossible to just break off an engagent because the two kids had an argunt.

Si Nian naturally understood this logic very well.

So ​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‍when she said that to Fu Yang at the ti, she was purely telling herself that she would no longer pursue him.

As for the marriage, since she wasn't the biological daughter of the Si family, it would naturally be carried on by their real daughter.

When that ti ca, however the two of them developed their relationship would be none of her business.

By then, the college entrance examination would be long over, and she wouldn't be coming back anyway.

Fu Yang had been feeling sowhat restless these past few days.

In his dreams, he would constantly see the scene from that day.

Si Nian's eyes told him that this ti, she wasn't just acting out of anger, nor was she deliberately trying to provoke him as a joke.

She was serious.

It wasn't as if she hadn't been angry at his attitude in the past.

But seeing no reaction from him, she would usually give in and show weakness after three days at most.

At those tis, he would give her an out; after all, having known each other for so many years, Fu Yang wouldn't push things too far.

But this ti, a long while had passed, and even when a ssage ca from the military base asking him to return for a mission, he still hadn't seen her co to his door again.

Fu Yang felt an inexplicable sense of panic in his heart.

He couldn't quite describe the feeling.

He believed that he didn't like a girl like Si Nian.

He liked girls who were his equal, with strong, vibrant personalities, not soone like her who relied on her pretty face and clung to him relentlessly.

Therefore, when he saw his sister coming in with so soup, a hint of disappointnt and disdain crossed his face. He had thought that she would hold out for a few more days this ti.

He waved his hand dismissively. Deal with it yourself, I don't like drinking it.

Unexpectedly, Fu Qianqian waved her hand with a look of disgust. I don't want it. This doesn't taste anywhere near as good as what Si Nian makes. Eat it yourself.

His movent to stand up paused, and he raised his eyes to glance at his sister.

Frowning, he asked, What did you say?

Fu Qianqian was confused. What do you an, what?

Fu Yang glanced at the soup in her hands. Who sent it?

Fu Qianqian said, Who else but those social butterflies you attracted? After saying that, she added worriedly, Brother, you're not really going to break off the engagent with Si Nian, are you? Even if you do, you can't possibly fancy these girls. Their cooking isn't even as good as Si Nian's. Take this one today, for example. I clearly saw it being packed from the state-run restaurant, yet she insisted she made it herself. She wanted to copy Si Nian and show affection, but didn't even bother to do it herself. So hypocritical, tsk.

I'm not trying to lecture you, but even though I don't like Si Nian, she treats you the best out of everyone in our compound. Don't take your blessings for granted, or you might regret it later.

After saying that, under her brother's murderous glare, Fu Qianqian quickly scurried away.

Fu Yang's expression was ugly.

...

Si Nian was just putting on her backpack, preparing to return to school. This ti, she was carrying so luggage. Over the past few days, Si's Father and Si's Mother had been pointing at her and scolding her daily, frustrated at her failure to et their expectations. Because they had raised her, she couldn't talk back.

So, in order not to let it affect her studies, she planned to apply to stay in the school dormitories for a while. Her standing at school was quite good, and both the teachers and the principal valued her highly.

Many students also chose to board at school to avoid any delays in their college entrance exam preparations. Therefore, if she applied now, as long as there was an empty bed, she would definitely be able to move in.

That was why she had packed so clothes to change into.

Today happened to be Monday, and she left the house early.

As soon as she walked out of the family compound's gate, a tall and lean young man appeared beside her.

He was wearing glasses and a backpack. He was quite tall, and upon seeing her, he blushed slightly and stamred, Si... Si Nian.

Si Nian turned her head to look and saw that it was a schoolmate. He was a top student, and because of that, the two of them had even hosted an event together before.

Year-round, the two of them always ranked first and second.

However, because her mind used to be entirely focused on Fu Yang, she had never paid him much attention.

She only vaguely rembered that such a person existed.

When passing by him on a normal day, she would at most nod in greeting.

Seeing him striking up a conversation with her now, she was a bit surprised. Hello, Classmate Song. Is there sothing you need?

The college entrance exam is coming up, and I... I wanted to ask which university you plan to go to. I, I don't an anything else, it's just...

Before he could even finish his sentence, his face had already turned completely red.

For young n in this era, just talking to a girl required a great deal of courage.

Si Nian was actually quite reserved at school. Many people pursued her, but because she had a fiancé, she deliberately acted aloof and avoided contact with them.

Thinking back on it now, she couldn't help but sigh in lant.

I plan to go to Jinghua University. What about you?

His eyes lit up, and he imdiately said, I, I am too. It's just that my English isn't as good as yours. I, I'm a bit worried... Could, could I please ask you to...

Si Nian thought about it carefully. In her previous life, she hadn't taken the college entrance exam, but soone had indeed asked her which school she was going to. At that ti, she had unhesitatingly said that she was going to the university Fu Yang had attended.

She only rembered that later, after the exam results ca out, no one from their high school went to Jinghua University.

Could it be because of this that he didn't get in either?

Realizing that her math wasn't as good as his and that she was currently at a loss about it, Si Nian's eyes suddenly darted around, and she smiled brightly. My math isn't very good either. How about this: you help tutor math, and I'll help you with English? Let's get into Jinghua University together?

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill in the air around her.

She subconsciously glanced to the side, only to see Fu Yang's car parked not far away.

She paused for a mont, but the boy didn't notice. Hearing her words, he was pleasantly surprised and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that she was carrying things and it looked inconvenient, he imdiately offered, I, let help you. I'm going to school too, let's walk together.

In the past, Si Nian would avoid this kind of boy like the plague, terrified of people pointing fingers and gossiping.

But now, she didn't care anymore.

Why should Fu Yang have people fawning over him every day, bringing him food and drinks, while she had to restrict herself with all these rules and make things difficult for herself?

So she was happy to take it easy. Just as she was about to hand her things over, the car unexpectedly drove over.

An icy voice ca from inside the car: Get in, I'll take you to school.

Si Nian paused, not looking at him.

anwhile, the boy beside her looked over in astonishnt. Upon seeing Fu Yang, he felt a bit awkward.

He knew about Si Nian's situation, but he had heard a few days ago that the two of them had a falling out.

That was why he finally gathered his courage.

But he didn't expect...

Worried that he might be misunderstood, he looked at Si Nian apologetically.

Si Nian smiled brightly at him and generously handed the items over. "Sorry to trouble you, Classmate Song. My hands were just starting to hurt from carrying this."

"Let's go. We should hurry to school to study, so we won't bother Comrade Fu to make a trip." She appeared extrely sensible and polite.

In her heart, she thought: Heh, n will only slow down my studying speed.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded.

With that said, ignoring Fu Yang's murderous glare, the two walked shoulder to shoulder toward the bus stop.

Uncle Liu was so awkward that his toes were practically curling against the brake pedal. "Hahaha, Comrade Si Nian is truly a good child who loves to study. I heard before that she has excellent grades, and she even told everyone that she would work hard to get into the university you attended. What an impressive kid."

Fu Yang suddenly glanced at him. "Get into my university?"

Uncle Liu nodded. "Yeah, didn't you know? I heard it all from my daughter. She is in the sa class as Comrade Si Nian, and she said Si Nian studies incredibly hard just to get into the university you went to."

Fu Yang pursed his lips. That day, when he ca downstairs, the discussion between Si's Father, Si's Mother, and his own parents was still fresh in his mind.

Hearing them say that Si Nian could skip the university entrance exams and get married early, he had been filled with disdain at the ti.

That soone would willingly give up their education just to get married was sothing he truly couldn't understand. Did these won really need to cling to connections so desperately that they couldn't live without a man?

Did they have no independent thoughts or opinions of their own?

Fu Yang had scoffed at this.

He had grown even more disdainful, even thinking that if the engagent could really be broken off, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

But now, hearing Uncle Liu's words, his mood beca sowhat complicated.

He even recalled that day when she had excitedly co to find him and ntioned school matters, only to be interrupted by him before she could finish.

Could it be that she had just wanted to tell him about taking the university entrance exams?

A wave of guilt washed over Fu Yang's heart.

The irritation he felt from being ignored by Si Nian just monts ago also dissipated.

"What ti does she finish class?"

"Four-thirty, or was it five-thirty?" Uncle Liu hadn't been to school in many years and couldn't rember clearly.

"Mm. We will go pick her up then."

Uncle Liu said, "Alright... wait, what?"
