Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 48: Long Hair, Short Knowledge
Lin Yuan came behind Nan Li, gently placed his hands on her delicate shoulders, leaned down and whispered in her ear. His voice was as cold as the biting wind, and every word was clearly heard by Nan Li:

"If the injury is determined to be serious, it won't be as simple as going to the detention center."

"Huanhuan will be ridiculed for having a father who has been in prison. This is the result you want, isn't it?"

"Otherwise, why did you ignore me after I advised you so many times? Maybe you were laughing at me for meddling in your affairs."

"But you are also thinking about the children. I think they will not blame you when they grow up."

At the end, he patted Nan Li's shoulder gently as if to comfort her.

The movement seemed gentle, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

Nan Li's body trembled slightly when she heard this. All kinds of emotions intertwined in her heart, and she had no idea how to respond to Lin Yuan.

"Mom, I don't want Dad to go to jail!" Xia Huanhuan threw herself into Nan Li's arms and said crying.

Children have no concept of prisons and detention centers. In Xia Huanhuan's opinion, when her father was taken away by the police, he must have been taken to jail.

Especially when she imagined the horrific prison scenes in TV dramas, Xia Huanhuan became even more scared.

"No, Mom will find a way." Nan Li held Xia Huanhuan's face and wiped away her tears, but the tears brewing in her own eyes were no less than Xia Huanhuan's.

Tian Yulan looked at the poor mother and daughter quietly. Even though she had quarreled with Nan Li many times before, she still felt a little bit sorry when she saw this scene.

She unconsciously took a small step forward and was about to go forward to say a few words of comfort.

Lin Yuan said calmly:

"Tian Yulan, come to my office. I want to talk to you about Yan Ziyou's recent studies."

After hearing this, Tian Yulan responded subconsciously: "Teacher Zhong, please wait for me for a moment..."

Her eyes were still on Nan Li and her daughter, and she was thinking that she would comfort them first before leaving.

After all, Nan Li's current condition looks very bad. Although she had conflicts with Nan Li, at this time, she still felt that she should show some concern first.

“No time to wait.”

Lin Yuan did not give Tian Yulan more time. After saying this coldly, he turned around and left the reception room without hesitation.

His figure quickly disappeared at the door, leaving Tian Yulan standing there, looking conflicted and helpless.

She looked at Nan Li and her daughter, then at the direction Lin Yuan left, and finally gritted her teeth and decided to go to Lin Yuan's office first. After all, she had always been concerned about Yan Ziyu's academic performance, and she didn't dare to offend Lin Yuan.

"Ziyou, you stay here and accompany your aunt and Huanhuan." After Tian Yulan finished speaking, she looked at Nan Li and said softly, "Nan Li, I will be back soon, let's find a solution together."

After saying that, Tian Yulan turned around hurriedly and caught up with Lin Yuan who had already walked far ahead.

When Yan Ziyu heard Lin Yuan say that he wanted to discuss his studies with his mother, he felt very nervous.

But he still listened to his mother's instructions, took out a tissue from his pocket, and whispered, "Auntie, Huanhuan, don't be sad."

In the office, Lin Yuan sat leisurely on the chair, leaning back slightly.

"I thought you were going to show some sisterly love." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"You don't understand the relationship between our two families. Forget it. It's useless to tell you." Tian Yulan rolled her eyes and snorted softly, then said, "You just said, what's wrong with Ziyou's studies recently?"

"Nothing, I've been studying well recently, it's just that..." Lin Yuan deliberately dragged out his voice, with a hint of mystery flashing in his eyes.

"What is it?" Tian Yulan asked anxiously.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said casually, "Forget it. I can't explain it clearly in a short time. You should go and accompany Nan Li first."

But I was thinking in my heart: the silver lines I applied last time are about to fade, it’s time to apply another one for her.

Last time, due to time constraints, I was not able to fully demonstrate my strength.

If she is not taught a lesson this time, she will really treat herself as a tool in Yan Ziyu's study.

"Why do you only say half of the words?" Tian Yulan twisted her body slightly, with a little anger on her face, and said with some dissatisfaction.

There was an unconscious hint of coquettishness in her tone, more like the look of a girl in love acting coquettishly to a boy.

There was no expression on Lin Yuan's face. He just looked at her quietly without saying another word.

"If I had known I wouldn't have come." Tian Yulan muttered. She felt that she was being tricked by Lin Yuan. She came here with great expectations, but was kept in suspense like this.

"Does it matter whether you come over or not?" Lin Yuan sneered. He looked straight at Tian Yulan with disdain in his eyes. "Xia Junshan beat someone up and was taken to the detention center by the police. Can you help with some advice or get Xia Junshan out?"

Tian Yulan was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, then slowly lowered her head.

She knew in her heart that she was really powerless in the matter and could only offer some feeble comfort.

But at this moment, Lin Yuan's deep and magnetic voice sounded again:

"You really have long hair but short vision. You lose your temper when something happens. Think about it carefully. Who did Xia Huanhuan rely on to get into the selection office?"

Tian Yulan's eyes lit up with delight when she heard that. Yes, Xia Huanhuan got into the district through the connections with some big shots in the district. Uncle Nan has such powerful connections, is he still afraid that he won't be able to get Xia Junshan out?

A look of relief unconsciously appeared on her face, and her previous anxiety and helplessness were alleviated a lot.

"I didn't expect that you have a kind heart despite your cold words."

Tian Yulan looked at Lin Yuan with a bit of gratitude and surprise in her eyes. She raised her chin slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and there was a hint of ridicule and relief in her tone.

She originally thought that Lin Yuan was just deliberately making things difficult for her, but she didn't expect that he was actually intentionally helping Xia Junshan and Nan Li.

As for why she didn't say it in front of Nan Li, she felt that it must be Nan Li's distrust of Lin Yuan that hurt Lin Yuan, so he wanted to help Xia Junshan out of trouble through herself.

At this moment, her opinion of Lin Yuan has also changed a little.

She felt that Lin Yuan was no longer a cold-hearted person. He also had a hidden warmth in his heart, but he was just not very good at expressing it.

There was a different light in her eyes, as if she had gotten to know Lin Yuan all over again.

Wait until Tian Yulan leaves his office.

"laugh."

Lin Yuan finally couldn't help laughing.

After that, he took out his cell phone and called Li Yue.

……

"Nan Li, come with me." When Tian Yulan hurried back to the reception room, Nan Li was still sitting there in a daze.

Although she is always the backbone of the family, she is very strong and decisive in all aspects of life.

But that was also because she had Xia Junshan, the pillar of support, silently supporting her behind her. Now that this kind of thing happened suddenly, her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what to do.

Seeing Nan Li still sitting there in a daze, Tian Yulan stamped her feet anxiously and raised her voice, "Are you just going to sit here and wait for Xia Junshan to release you in a few days?"

After hearing these words, Nan Li's body trembled slightly, as if she came back to her senses.

Yes, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death any longer, she had to help her husband out of trouble.

She raised her head, with a hint of expectation and hope, and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Tian Yulan smiled slightly, her expression full of confidence.

After the four of them got into Tian Yulan's car, Tian Yulan drove to Nan Jianlong's residence. Although Nan Li also drove here, given her current mental state, Tian Yulan didn't dare to let her drive alone.

Once it hits the road, it might really hit the road.

Well, Yellow Springs Road.

"Where are we going?" Nan Li sat in the passenger seat, staring at the night scene passing by outside the window with empty eyes.

It was already around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the most vibrant and warm time in a city.

Normally at this time, my family of four should be sitting around the dining table, enjoying a delicious dinner, while my husband and I would quietly listen to the children chattering about interesting things at school.

"Of course..."

Tian Yulan had just opened her mouth, but before she could finish her words, Nan Li's phone suddenly rang.

"Dingling bell~"

Seeing that it was her mother Zhao Na calling, Nan Li made a quiet gesture to Tian Yulan, then cleared her throat, trying to make her voice sound calmer: "Mom~"

"What's going on between you and Xia Junshan today? Why didn't anyone come to pick up Chaochao?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Na's tone was filled with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction.

Although Zhao Na is old, she has always paid great attention to maintenance.

She has to go to bed at ten o'clock every night at the latest. If she goes to bed late, she will miss the best sleep.

"Oh, Mom, Chaochao will sleep at your place tonight, and I will pick him up tomorrow." Nan Li said softly, her eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

At the moment, she was worried about Xia Junshan's matter, but she didn't want to make her mother worry, so she could only try to maintain a normal tone when communicating with her mother.

"You kid, why didn't you tell me in advance if you didn't pick up Chaochao?"

Zhao Na complained softly but didn't think much about it.

After all, when Nan Li and her friends encountered some emergencies in the past, it was common for Chaochao to stay overnight at her place.

After Nan Li hung up the phone, she leaned back in her chair and sighed softly.

Tian Yulan smiled and shook her head, then said slowly:
"Nan Li, this is the biggest difference between you and me."

Nan Li looked at Tian Yulan in confusion, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the difference?"

"If something happens, I will think of asking my relatives for help, but you only hide it, as if you are afraid that others will know. Look at you, you didn't tell the truth to your mother when you encountered such a big thing. Is your face more important than getting things done?"

There was a hint of amusement in Tian Yulan's eyes. She felt that Nan Li was sometimes too strong-willed and stubborn, and was always unwilling to show her vulnerability and difficulties to others easily.

In her opinion, family members should rely on each other in difficult times, and Nan Li's behavior made her feel a little unreasonable.

She was in no mood to argue with Tian Yulan, so she just said calmly, "One more person who knows means one more person who will be troubled."

Zhao Na is old and doesn't have many connections. If she really tells this to others, it will only cause her mother more worries and troubles.

"The more people who know, the more hope there is. Do you know that, Nan Li?" Tian Yulan raised her voice, her eyes revealing eagerness and sincerity.

Nan Li shook her head, not wanting to continue arguing about this issue.

Seeing that Nan Li didn't answer and just stared out the window in silence, Tian Yulan frowned slightly. Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dull, she changed the subject: "By the way, why did Xia Junshan beat someone up for no reason? Does he have a violent tendency?"

There was a hint of doubt and curiosity in her tone, but after she said it, she felt something was wrong.

When Xia Huanhuan heard Tian Yulan say this about her father, she immediately shouted excitedly: "My father didn't do that!"

Her little face flushed red, and her eyes were full of protection and trust for her father.

Seeing Xia Huanhuan's anxious expression through the lens, Tian Yulan realized that her words were a bit rash, and quickly said: "Auntie said the wrong thing, auntie apologizes to you."

Nan Li also explained that she could not accept her husband being slandered: "It was the teacher of the Numerical Selection Intensive Class who spoke rudely to Huan Huan, so Xia Junshan taught him a lesson."

"No wonder." Tian Yulan sighed and said thoughtfully: "But no matter what, it's not right to take action."

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet.

Tian Yulan is like this. She is obviously helping Nan Li enthusiastically, but she always says things that are not worth the cost.

Nan Li looked out the window. As the car drove on, she gradually realized that the direction and road Tian Yulan was driving were becoming more and more familiar. She was startled and turned to look at Tian Yulan: "Are you taking me to my dad's house?"

"Yes."

"No, no, my dad is old and in poor health. When he hears the news, his blood pressure will definitely rise. Stop the car quickly." Nan Li waved her hands quickly, her face full of worry.

"Oh, Nan Li, why are you so stubborn?" Tian Yulan was a little speechless. "Think about it, how did Huan Huan get into the intensive class? Since Uncle Nan has connections, why not use them? Do you really want Xia Junshan to stay in the bureau for a few days before coming out?"

After hearing Tian Yulan's words, Nan Li fell silent.

The car stopped outside the alley, and Tian Yulan and Nan Li took their two children and walked towards Nan Jianlong's home.

Tian Yulan walked to the door, raised her hand and knocked.

After a while, I heard Cai Juying's voice: "Who is it? It's so late."

Tian Yulan responded: "It's me, Mom."

"It's Lanlan." Cai Juying said as she opened the door.

When the door was fully opened, I realized that not only my daughter had come, but also Nan Li and their child.

A hint of surprise flashed across her face, but she soon smiled and said, "Oh, Lili is here too. Come in, come in, Ziyou and Huanhuan are here too."

Nan Jianlong also walked to the door at this time, and was very happy to see his two daughters appear with their children.

His biggest worry before was that his two daughters did not get along with each other. There were always conflicts and estrangements between them, both overt and covert.

Now that they appear together, it is a rare harmonious scene.

"Come and sit down. It's so late. Is there something wrong?" Although he was happy in his heart, he also noticed something unusual.

In particular, apart from Tian Yulan, Nan Li and the two children did not look very good.

Nan Li stammered, her lips trembling slightly, her heart was very conflicted.

Tian Yulan felt speechless. Now that she was already here, there was no point in saying anything.

"Nan Li, if you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you." Tian Yulan looked at Nan Jianlong, took a deep breath, and then said, "Uncle Nan, Xia Junshan had a fight with someone in Zeshu, and the other party refused to reconcile. Xia Junshan has been taken to the police station now."

"Huh?" "Huh?"

Nan Jianlong and Cai Juying both cried out in surprise.

"What's going on? Why did they fight?" Nan Jianlong frowned and asked anxiously.

Nan Li opened her mouth and said slowly, "It was the teacher from Zeshu who belittled Huanhuan first, and Xia Junshan got so angry that he started to attack her."

Nan Jianlong's eyes were full of worry: "What should we do now?"

Nan Li opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Seeing her like this, Tian Yulan took over the conversation directly, "Uncle Nan, don't you have connections in the district? Just give them a heads up, isn't it just a matter of a few words?"
