But this matter, no one knows who let it slip, naturally some are envious, some are jealous.
Someone even went to Professor Tao for an explanation.
Professor Tao directly handed them a book: "If you have the skills, then take it and translate it. If not, don’t come here looking for a sense of presence. Better find ways to improve your own professional level."
After those students saw the book handed to them, they couldn’t say it was like reading a heavenly book, but they really didn’t have the ability to take on the task. Finally, everyone calmed down.
That day, Xinyan received a call from He Jinxuan, saying he’d be back tomorrow, and Ye Liyan was ready too, planning to pick up the two little ones this weekend: "Yanyan, Ye Liyan said he’d like to have a meal together this weekend. Do you have time?"
Xinyan thought for a moment: "Noon or evening?"
He Jinxuan said: "It’s arranged for noon, but you’ll need to keep your afternoon free too. It’s a chance for us to drop them off together and get acquainted with their place."
Xinyan thought about the two little ones, worried they might be uneasy, so she readily agreed: "Alright, I’ll head over to yours this weekend."
After hanging up the phone, she quickly got ready to leave school and return to the small courtyard.
However, before she left the school, someone called her: "Xinyan, wait up."
Hearing Jiang Peiqin’s voice, Xinyan stopped: "Are you heading out?"
Jiang Peiqin replied with a smile: "Yes, my cousin is getting engaged today, I’m going to the engagement banquet."
The two of them walked together towards the school gate.
Jiang Peiqin glanced around and lowered her voice: "I have something to tell you."
Xinyan looked over, seeing her acting all mysterious: "What’s up?"
Jiang Peiqin recalled something she saw that day, a mischievous smile appearing at the corners of her mouth: "Guess what I saw the other day?"
Xinyan rolled her eyes at her: "If I could guess, would I still listen to you?"
Jiang Peiqin was amused by her expression: "Li Yutong got beaten up by people brought in by her aunt."
Xinyan’s curiosity was piqued: "What happened?"
Actually, she had some guesses in her mind, but wasn’t sure if she was right.
Jiang Peiqin said: "I’m not too clear about the specifics, but I heard her aunt call her a troublemaker.
Originally, her uncle was implicated by previous issues and stepped down, but this time it’s heard that they uncovered a major case involving a Li family member. It’s likely they used Li Yutong’s uncle’s reputation outside, and now her uncle might not even be able to retire normally because of being implicated.
But what the outcome will be is still undetermined.
I guess someone must have tipped off her aunt; otherwise, her aunt wouldn’t have directly confronted her."
Xinyan laughed, "Li Yutong indirectly did what’s right by turning her relatives in, right?"
Jiang Peiqin burst into laughter: "You’re something else. If Li Yutong heard that, she’d probably be so angry she’d vomit blood."
As they spoke, they arrived at the school gate.
The Zeng Family was already waiting there, and Jiang Peiqin greeted Xinyan before jogging over.
Xinyan was about to leave when she saw Jiang Peiqin’s fiancé, Ling Wenhao, getting out of the car. He waved to Xinyan: "Hello, Xinyan."
Xinyan smiled and replied: "Hello."
Having said that, she winked at Jiang Peiqin, watching her face turn instantly red.
People at this time were so innocent, getting embarrassed so easily.
Xinyan stopped teasing her, waved her hand, and said: "Go ahead, be safe."
Ling Wenhao also noticed their interaction, smiling as he said: "Let Peiqin bring you back some candy."
With that, he got in the car.
Xinyan watched the car drive away before turning to head back to the small courtyard.
Thinking about what Jiang Peiqin mentioned earlier, it seemed Li Yutong’s good days were over. Truly, one reaps what one sows—what goes around comes around.
Just when she reached the alley entrance, she saw Ling Tianze standing there: "What are you doing here?"
Ling Tianze nodded at her: "I’m here to say thank you."
Xinyan waved him off: "It was just a trivial effort, no need."
Ling Tianze, however, said: "To you, a small effort; to me, it’s a lifesaver."
