Ye Silai then spoke up, "Uncle and Aunt Xinyan have been very good to us, we’ll never forget it."
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Xinyan felt a bit uncomfortable: "Alright, let’s make a pinky promise."
The two little guys solemnly hooked pinkies with Xinyan, chanting, "Pinky promise, hang on tight, never to change for a hundred years."
After making the promise, everyone laughed.
Granny Zhang glanced at the clock on the living room cabinet: "Yanyan, it’s getting late, you should head to school."
Xinyan stood up with a smile, reaching out to pat the heads of the two kids: "Alright, Aunt Xinyan has to go to class. When your dad picks you up, be sure to behave. Aunt Xinyan will visit you when she has time."
The two little guys were happy to hear Xinyan say this, Siyan spoke quickly: "Aunt Xinyan, don’t forget."
Xinyan smiled, picked up her bag, and waved to them: "Don’t worry, I won’t forget."
Originally, the two little guys also wanted to see Xinyan off, but were persuaded by Jinxuan to play with the little black cat.
Jinxuan smiled, glancing at the two little nephews teasing the cat: Hmph, trying to challenge me?
Xinyan didn’t pay attention to this interaction between uncle and nephews, instead, she was thinking about taking time in the afternoon to check with the school finance about fees for the French elective course.
After Jinxuan came out, seeing no one in the alley, he reached out to hold Xinyan’s hand: "Let’s go."
Granny Zhang thought the two would have endless things to talk about, afraid Xinyan would delay and miss class, so she urged her out the door early.
The two chatted all the way to the school gate. Jinxuan was reluctant to leave, but he knew it was time for class: "Go in, I’ll come by to see you after my trip."
By the way, this time I’m going south, is there anything you need me to bring back?"
Xinyan shook her head: "There’s nothing I particularly want, but if you find any exotic fruits, you can bring some back for a taste."
Jinxuan laughed and agreed: "Alright, I’ll remember, go on in."
Xinyan walked into the school and turned to wave at him: "Go back now, drive safely."
Jinxuan nodded to her: "Okay."
Watching her walk away, disappearing from sight, Jinxuan then left.
Xinyan went to the dormitory first, intending to grab the textbooks needed for the afternoon class, and went to the classroom with everyone.
Just entering the dormitory, she heard Jiang Peiqin talking to Bai Aiwen: "Aiwen, your ex has gotten into some trouble."
As soon as this was said, not only Bai Aiwen but everyone else in the dormitory, including Han Xinyan who had just walked in, perked up their ears.
Bai Aiwen’s expression was a bit complex: "What happened?"
Jiang Peiqin then said: "Latest news, your ex, Xie Shanyuan, was beaten up pretty badly."
Bai Aiwen was puzzled: "Who beat him?"
Jiang Peiqin recalled the news she had just heard: "It was the vice principal’s daughter who wasn’t willing to let go, she directly sued her ex-husband. Previously, the issue was already blown out of proportion, and it turned out to be true. Soon the relevant authorities investigated and found the facts true, and naturally they couldn’t let them off.
The outcome is predictable, if they were two single people, it could be said they were dating, but this is a married man and an unmarried girl having an affair, it’s indefensible, naturally the two were taken away and detained.
The vice principal’s daughter’s former mother-in-law begged and pleaded to get him released, and the blame was shifted to the former daughter-in-law.
In a fit of anger, she went back to her parents’ home to bring reinforcements, and along with her nephews and nieces, intercepted the former daughter-in-law, that is, the vice principal’s daughter, on the way, trying to get her to speak up and get him released.
But the former daughter-in-law refused, started cursing, and the former mother-in-law couldn’t take it, saying if she didn’t help, then don’t blame her for being harsh on the granddaughter.
When the vice principal’s daughter heard this, she couldn’t stay calm.
The argument quickly escalated to a physical fight.
The former mother-in-law had brought people, the younger generation couldn’t stand by and let their aunt get hit, so they attacked the former cousin-in-law, the vice principal’s daughter.
This incident was unfortunately stumbled upon by Xie Shanyuan, who couldn’t ignore it and went over to pull people apart and try to rescue them.
The attackers hesitated when hitting the vice principal’s daughter, their former cousin-in-law, but had no qualms about hitting him.
As a result, it turned into a tragedy, Xie Shanyuan was directly beaten up by the group.
