Chapter 160-161: Sudden Appearance of Old Friends

  Compared to Luo Ye's large and lively group of parents, Yang Xing's side was quiet with only his mother present. Seeing Yang Xing constantly glancing at the crowd, Wang Lijuan let out a soft sigh: "Son, excitement isn't always simultaneous."

  "I understand, she really is the best candidate, unfortunately..." Yang Xing sighed softly and put his arm around his mother's shoulder: "Mom, it's been tough on you."

  "Xing Er, the old master has already given his word to let your father be the head of the Yang family. This time, it's all worth it for your mother, as long as you can get what's rightfully yours, your mother doesn't care."

  "One day, mom will return to the Yang family with her head held high!" A hint of gloom flashed in Yang Xing's eyes: "Feng Yu Ning can't marry dad now, so she brought her niece Feng Qing to me as a girlfriend, this 'favor', I will repay her."

  Wang Liqing looked at Yang Xing worriedly: "Son, Feng Qing..."

  "Mom, I just want you to know that being with Feng Qing is something I had no choice but to do. Sooner or later, I'll make my own wings strong and take control of the situation!" Yang Xing suddenly furrowed his brow: "Mom, go home first, I'll find you later."

  Following her son's line of sight, a girl in a white long dress, pure and elegant, was staring blankly at the crowd surrounding the Luo family. Wang Lijiang hesitated: "Does Xing'er like her?"

  "I'm a son who grew up under his mother's watchful eye, she should understand me." Yang Xing's lips curled into a sly smile: "Does she have that kind of skill?"

  "Alright, be careful and don't let the Feng family discover anything. Mom is leaving, call me if something happens." The son's thoughts were incomprehensible to her, all she could do was cooperate with him.

  Yang Xing stood beside Wang Peiying for a long time, but the other party was still staring straight at a certain direction. Yang Xing's eyebrows furrowed: "Withdraw your hungry wolf-like gaze!"

  "Is Yang Da Shao angry?" Wang Pei Rong "heh heh" laughed and spun around: "How's that, pretty good huh?"

  The long skirt was still rippling with the waves, a pure face with a charming smile, such a lovely girl. Yang Xing didn't have any feelings at all, his eyes flickered: "Remember, bring out your purity to the extreme, put away your coquettishness, he won't like it."

  Wang Peirong put away her smile: "I know. I've been training for so long, and this is me showing you the results of my training. Do you think I'm an idiot?" She looked over with a hint of resentment in her eyes: "It's fine, he's handsome, more than you could ever hope to be. But the one next to him is even more handsome. Heaven really isn't fair, some people are born with everything, while others struggle their whole lives and still can't catch up to someone else's finger."

  Yang Xing gave Wang Peirong a cold glance: "The one next to you, don't even think about it, if you get close to him, you'll die in a very ugly way!"

  "No need to be so fierce, it's a win-win situation for both of us. I'll do what I promised, and you? Don't interfere with me too much." Wang Peirong leaned in close to Yang Xing and lowered her voice: "But honestly, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"

  "What can you bring me?" Yang Xing coldly gazed at Wang Peirong.

  "Alright, I get it. Actually, we're the same kind of people, no one should laugh at anyone else." Wang Peirong smiled sweetly: "With my abilities, taking the entrance exam for Q University would be a waste of talent!"

  "The score hasn't come out yet. Don't be too complacent."

  Wang Pei Rong's face turned cold: "The scores haven't come out yet, but the answers are already out. You've seen my estimated score, it won't be lower than yours. Don't worry, I'm not going to back down. I just want you to understand that while I gained something, I also lost a lot."

  ……

  Liangyou Hotel suite, Luo Ye and his family, Xing Tong and grandparents. Ying Nu and parents, Fu Mo Ye Xuan gathered together.

  "Secretary Luo, I respect you!" Upright Officer Yun Hang's identity wouldn't normally qualify him to sit with Luo Zhengang, but today he was basking in the glory of his daughter, and even if he was broad-minded, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

  Shangguan Yunhang's excitement caused Luo Ye to lower her eyelids to hide the smile in her eyes, not that she was heartless, but just didn't want their classmate relationship to become complicated because of this matter. She trusted her old man's vision and didn't need to say more.

  "Superior officer, I've done it!" Luo Zhenggang drank a toast: "Thank you for your family's care of Ye Er, and thank you for your help to Ye Er."

  "Heh heh...... That's right, that's right." Upper official Yun Hang was delighted and didn't know what to say, the secretary's words clearly meant to reassure him.

  "Secretary Luo, I...I'll also toast you a cup." Nuoma excitedly stood up, she didn't know Luo Ye's background like Nuda did, and still thought Luo Ye came from an ordinary family, she had been stunned since school and hadn't come back to her senses until now.

  "Brother and sister, you'd better not drink anymore. I'm afraid Officer Gu will scold me afterwards." Nuoma frowned as she poured the wine, looking like she was drinking poison, and Luo Zheng quickly stopped her.

  "That's it, just a little meaning is enough." Wen Xin immediately snatched the cup from Nuo Ma: "Eat food, brother and sister hurry up and eat to suppress it."

  Luoye also smiled and said: "Auntie, we're all family, why be so polite?"

  Ying Nuo's conditioned reflex made him glance at Luo Feng, who was whispering to Ye Xuan. He felt a little disappointed and turned his head back, only to meet Luo Ye's studying gaze. He hastily squeezed out a smile: "What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

  Lu Ye whispered into Nuo's ear: "I can get it, and the table will turn."

  "Give it to me, I'm too lazy to move." Xing stretched out his head.

  "Hey, lazy ghost." Xing Nuo cooperated and tossed a chopstick into her bowl.

  "A bit reluctant, huh...?" Xing Dong leaned in close to Ying Nuo's ear: "Just want to leave it for the little sister of the future?"

  Thinking that all the parents were present, Xiang Nu's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she didn't dare to make trouble with Xing, so she could only lower her head and drink water to cover up.

  "Look at these three kids, they're as close as real sisters. Granny Yan couldn't be happier seeing the three little girls huddled together chatting and laughing. Her own granddaughter's personality is very clear, she can see that she's happy and carefree, and it's not often that she finds friends that she really approves of, this time is an exception."

  "General Yan, let me toast you again. We're old acquaintances now and will become even closer in the future!" Luo Zhenggang raised his glass to toast General Yan Sanping, a three-star general who was also Xing Nu's grandfather. Luo Zhenggang had met him at a conference in the provincial capital and they had hit it off well, but he hadn't expected that their children would have this connection.

  "That's it, this kid Ye has a future, I like her, she's more reliable than my own Xing Nong!" Yan Jun raised his cup and looked at Luo Ye: "Ye, from now on help me keep an eye on Xing Nong. If she dares to disobey, you beat her to death for me."

  "Grandpa!" Xing Nu couldn't help but stare at the old man, what kind of grandpa is this? This was her first time introducing her family to her classmates, and yet Grandpa had just sold her out like that.

  Wen Xin smiled and patted Xing Nong's head: "General Yan, Xing Nong is both lovely and clever. Just one look at him and you can tell he's a low-maintenance kid, no need for Ye to keep an eye on him."

  Grandpa Xing was scolded by his grandson: "Grandpa, you should learn from Aunt Wen and praise other people's children without belittling your own!"

  "Yan Grandfather's eyes widened: 'That's because Ye Er didn't scold him!'"

  "Everyone, grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, is the dish to your liking?" Qu Yue smiled as she came over to join in.

  Xing Lang said with a smile: "Qu Lao Da, there is only one grandmother here. May I ask, what do you mean by 'all grandfathers and grandmothers'?"

  "Yatou, you're clearly picking on me, Uncle Luo. Don't chase me away?" Qu Yue pulled up a stool and sat down beside Luo Feng. He often visited the Luo household and was quite familiar with them.

  "Give us a discount and we won't drive you out of business." Luo Zheng joked, since his daughter had shares in this store, he didn't have to be so careful with his words.

  "Not just a discount, I'm treating this table. Of course... I'll pay according to the normal discount, so as not to harm other shareholders." Qu Yue said while looking at Sang Qingqing: "Boss Sang, give me a few discounts?"

  Cang Qingqing smiled faintly: "No discount, how can a major shareholder have the nerve to ask for a discount?"

  "Alright, Manager Sang, I've paid in full." Qu Yue's face twisted in a bitter smile.

  Xing Nong Cou said, "Qu Lao Da, there are seniors sitting in a circle here, but you only ask for Luo Shu's opinion. I don't believe you're the kind of person who looks down on people based on their official position. Can you tell us the specific reason?"

  Qu Yue smiled wryly and poured a full cup of wine: "Everyone, I was wrong, I'll punish myself with a drink!"

  Hahaha...

  The parents of each other had known each other before, a lunch party, actually brought everyone's feelings a big step further, Yan Jun suggested that after the children returned, they would gather like this, and it was unanimously approved.

  Although Qu Yue said he would treat, the parents present wouldn't really let him pay. When it was time to leave, they all rushed to take out their wallets. Qu Yue tried to persuade them but to no avail. Luo Ye couldn't bear to watch: "Everyone, we're not just gathering once, why don't we take turns paying?"

  "Alright, this method is good, I'll pay for it this time." Yan Dajun was indeed a soldier, and before anyone else could say anything, he had already made the decision.

  Cang Qingqing suddenly stood up: "I'll do it, I know that none of the seated gentlemen are short of this money, and at the same time, I am not a parent of any of them, so to speak, I don't have this qualification."

  But I'm still alive, thanks to Ye Er, Xing Nong, Ying Nu and Fu Mo who all genuinely helped me. Today is their graduation day, let me do something for them!

  "Good!"

  "Good!"

  “……”

  This time, however, they unanimously agreed, although most of the people present did not know about Sang Qingqing's affairs, but from her tone and expression, they knew that what she said was not false, so they would not give her face.

  ……

  Ma's family.

  Ma Kang lay in the bedroom with his head covered, unsure whether he was asleep or awake. Ma Dad sat in the hall sighing, while Ma Mom sat beside him secretly wiping away tears.

  Ma's family was a migrant household, Ma Dad and Ma Mom were both contract workers in the factory, higher than temporary workers but lower than formal workers. The couple didn't have much culture, nor were they ambitious, they just worked peacefully in the factory for their whole lives. Fortunately, in recent years, many factories went bankrupt, but the cotton mill remained standing.

  Originally, the couple was most proud of their son, who had been learning at the top of his class since elementary school. The colleagues in the factory and the folks back home were all envious to no end, of course there were also those who intentionally made sour remarks. The couple never got annoyed by these sour remarks, why? Because they were jealous!

  But sometimes, things just don't go as smoothly as you'd like. Starting from when my son took the college entrance exam, one thing after another kept happening. With his scores, he could have gotten into either Beijing University or Qinghua University, but instead he insisted on applying to a sports academy.

  Okay, at that time, being able to get into a sports academy was also enviable, so they just accepted it. But later on, having such a good girlfriend and having such a good opportunity for a good job, the son didn't know how to cherish them. The couple's mouths were worn out from talking, but the son still clenched his teeth and insisted on his so-called principles. Knowing their son's stubborn temper, the couple finally had no choice but to compromise.

  Who would have thought that a good physical education teacher, while doing his job, was accused by a female student of being a rascal? This matter, even if you beat him to death, he wouldn't believe that his son could do such a thing. But when asking the son what happened, he just lay on the bed and said nothing.

  The couple also understood why their son was not happy to see them, these days when they went downstairs, they heard others discussing "hooligans", and when they saw her shadow, they quickly shut up. But those eyes, and the faint whispers that floated into his ears, were more hurtful than speaking loudly in front of him!

  A rustling sound came from the doorway, Ma Dad hesitated for a moment, opened the door, and a big bag of bottles and jars was standing beside his home. He, who was already in a bad mood, kicked the bag with one foot, "Rustle!" It fell over.

  The door of the next-door neighbor opened again. Fat Liu Ping let out a loud "Ah" and pushed open the bag to take a look, scolding loudly: "Ma Yutian, are you itching for a fight? What's it to you that my bag is placed here?"

  "Try scolding me again, I won't spare your life!" Normally, Ma Yutian would have tolerated it, but today he was in a bad mood. His son's matter had been bothering him, and he had gone to investigate. He might be fired, and this anger had been pent up inside him, unable to vent upwards or downwards, just waiting for an outlet.

  "You dare to scold? You're the father of a hooligan, I'm telling you, if we were to go back a few years, this would be a capital offense, you almost became the father of an executed prisoner, and yet you still dare to scold others? Everyone will scold you to death, it's only fitting! Liu Ping said while moving closer to Ma Yutian: "Scold away, scold away. Those who don't scold are sissies!"

  "Bang!"

  "Ah......" Liu Ping wailed and tore at Ma Yutian while shouting: "Lian Fangqing, get out here! Your wife is going to be beaten to death by Ma Yutian, and you're still hiding in the house pretending to be a decent person!"

  Ma's mother and Liu Ping's husband, Lian Fangqing, almost simultaneously appeared at the door. Lian Fangqing took a look at the palm print on his wife's face and didn't allow it. A big man over 1.8 meters tall stretched out his big palms and rushed towards Ma Yutian.

  Ma hurriedly intercepted in the middle: "Fang Qing, don't be on an equal footing with your brother Ma. He's also anxious and flustered in his heart, and was provoked by Liu Ping to lose control. We've been old colleagues for so many years, neighbors... forgive him this time..."

  "Bang!"

  Ma's words got stuck in her throat as she stared at Lian Fangqing in disbelief. This man actually couldn't even get his own wife, and instead hit her in the face?

  "He hit my wife, I'll hit his wife, it's fair. Now you're the parents of a hooligan, be careful or I'll unite with everyone in the building to chase you out, believe it or not?" Lian Fangqing stared at Ma Ma in a daze, he was originally the factory's thug, his own wife could hit him for fun, but others, no way!

  "You're a dog raised by a bitch, I won't be named Ma if I don't beat you to death!" Before he could react, Ma Yutian was already yelling and wrestling with Lian Fangqing.

  "Stop it, both of you!" Liu Ping and Ma Ma were anxious. The bottles on the ground had all been smashed to pieces. If they cut themselves in a bad spot, it wouldn't just be a minor injury.

  "Kangkang, hurry up and come out! Pull your dad away, this is going to be a disaster!" Ma Ma shouted towards the inside while trying to separate Liu Ping.

  Two men with red eyes, which can be pulled open by two middle-aged women, for a time, the four people pushed from one end of the corridor to the other, and then from the other end to this end. The howling sound attracted the attention of neighbors upstairs and downstairs, but no one came to stop them, and some even laughed and cheered on the two men to add more strength.

  As the door of another neighbor on the same floor opened, Ma Kang also came out. Seeing that his father was about to fall to the ground, he hastily rushed over to cushion him from below. Ma's mother stared with wide eyes and couldn't make a sound. She clearly saw that where Ma Kang had rushed to was exactly an empty beer bottle!

  Lian Fangqing was startled by Ma Kang's movement and froze, so Ma Yutian didn't fall down, but Ma Kang was really lying there. "Kangkang!" Ma's mother wailed and rushed over: "Kangkang, are you okay? Son, shout out to mom, Kangkang..."

  "Cough! Mom, I was just stunned and couldn't speak for a moment, why are you crying?" Ma Kang coughed and sat up, under him was a thick foot pad, on the upper side of the foot pad there was a bottle-shaped protrusion, Ma's mom suddenly froze.

  A young man from next door came over to pick up the foot mat, glanced at a few people lightly, and went back home, closing the door.

  Luo Ye and others arrived at this time, um, very consistent with TV movie rules, the fight is over, the police have arrived.

  "That thin couple is Mr. Ma's parents, and the fat couple upstairs are notorious for being unreasonable, they make a big fuss over trivial matters." Pan Fang whispered to introduce the situation to several people, but Luo Ye stared at the door that had just been closed, that figure looked so much like Liu Xing.

  Her father asked her and her brother to take care of Nie Cui and her mother, but when she and her brother went to find them, the mother and daughter had already moved away. Nie Cui had quit her job, and Liu Xing was no longer attending school, and the two seemed to have vanished into thin air. Old Man Liu, on the other hand, did not disappear, and instead moved back in with his second son.

  Luo Ye and her brother went home to discuss with their parents, grandparents and others, deciding not to look for Nie Cui. She did this because she wanted to leave her old social circle behind and didn't want to interact with everyone anymore. Why bother going out of their way to please someone who doesn't want to be pleased?

  But when did Liu Hang have such good skills? Others didn't see clearly, but she saw it clearly that the cushion was kicked out by Liu Hang and landed under Ma Kang before he fell to the ground!

  She and her brother were able to do it, but the siblings had been studying under a famous teacher for a year. It's impossible for Liu Xing to practice now, there is only one possibility, he was good at martial arts before, but has been hiding from everyone.

  It's also expected. Liu Zhengxing, that old fox, even if he didn't let his youngest son participate, how could he not give him the ability to protect himself? He's not like his old man used to be, foolishly thinking that his children would be honest and nobody would notice.

  It's okay, this way she can eliminate her worries about Liu Hang and Nie Cui. As for whether they will meet in the future or what kind of relationship they will have, it will be said later!

  "I'm sorry to trouble you...... I'm sorry to trouble you......"

  Pan Fang introduced several people as Ma Kang's students. The old couple of the Ma family kept muttering this sentence, and after the few people entered the house, Ma Kang sat on the sofa without making a sound. Looking at his face, it was clear that he had originally been too ashamed to see anyone, and today's events were encountered by his students, making him even more ashamed.

  Xing Nong looked at Ma Kang seriously: "Teacher Ma, I don't want to advise you, actually. We all know that you were wronged by Tian Furong, but can sitting at home like this clear your name?"

  "Yes, Coach Ma, we all believe in you and admire your dedication to sports. We also admire your courage in giving up material temptations, that's why we came to see you."

  "Teacher Ma, I can say without exaggeration that more than 90% of the students believe in you. But if you do this, it will only make everyone think you are very weak." Luo Ye took out a small notebook from her bag and handed it to Ma Kang: "Take a look at the signatures above. This is just what we decided to come to your house this afternoon, and we only had half an hour to find classmates to sign their names. Half an hour, more than 100 people signed their names. If it weren't for us stopping them, they would have all come together."

  Ma Kang looked at the signatures, and Ma's old couple sat on one side, occasionally wiping their eyes. Although they didn't think these students could help their son, as long as it made their son feel better, that was enough.

  "What you said, is it all true?" Ma Kang finally had the courage to look at several people.

  Lu Ye nodded: "Of course, there's no benefit in cheating you."

  Ma Kang covered his forehead: "I know, I'm so cowardly, but when I explained to the school leaders, they didn't believe me and told me to take a leave of absence and reflect on my actions."

  "After going home, my neighbors all pointed at me and called me a rascal. These days I've been lying in bed, constantly reflecting on myself, wondering which choices were right and which were wrong. Unfortunately, no matter how much I think about it, I still can't get a suitable answer."

  "Now, it's meaningless to talk about right or wrong. The key is the teacher's ideology. If you think sports are what you should insist on, then your choice is not wrong. If you think this persistence is ridiculous, then giving up now is still in time. Of course, this is my idea, and it may not be accurate."

  "I insist on physical exercise. I think that without a strong body, everything else is pointless. No matter how intelligent you are, the difference between living to 60 and 100 is huge."

  "We can't control a teacher's life. I'm giving the teacher two options, you see which one to choose: One, continue being a physical education teacher in high school; Two, go be a physical education teacher in middle school."

  Luo Ye's words fell, and not only Ma Fu and Ma Mu, but also Ma Kang were stunned. This tone was a bit too big, wasn't it?

  Xing Nong smiled and looked at several people: "Just choose, Luo Ye said it can be done."

  Ma Kang's expression was firm: "I want to go to junior high school as a physical education teacher. I think it should start from the basics!"

  "Teacher Ma, you are a rare person who can persist, but your family will be very tired with this."

  "Luoye, I know, but every time I want to give up, as long as I think of my classmates' appearance, my confidence becomes firm." Makang looked at his parents with a apologetic expression: "Dad, mom, it's me who is not doing well, always making you two suffer!"

  "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ma Mu scolded her son and gratefully looked at Luo Ye and the others: "Fellow students, this matter...this is really too much to thank you for!"

  Lu Ye saw that the three members of the Ma family did not entirely believe her words, and she didn't argue. She smiled and asked: "Auntie Ma, when did the neighbor who threw the foot pad move in? Are you familiar with them?"

  Here is the translation:

  "Thanks for the double update today. Special thanks to those who subscribed to my official account and rewarded me with gifts. I love you all. I won't make any promises now, so as not to disappoint everyone again. When I've really adjusted and can set a schedule, I'll let you know. Please give me your trust and support!"

  Recommendation: She doesn't want to be a weak and helpless clover anymore, this time she wants to be the queen of a thousand miles of glory! "Peaceful Rebirth Day"
