"Cotton, come back!"

Yu Lian stopped Mianhua from walking out.

At the same time, a beam of light spread out from the doorway.

Yu Lian heard the sound of the flashlight switch being turned on.

Suddenly appearing in the light was a face that was all too familiar.

"Li Yanshen!"

Li Yanshen lowered his head and nodded slightly, looking around nervously before quickly turning off the lights.

"Don't tell anyone. I'll talk to you and make things clear. Don't come to my door."

The next day.

It is a metaphor for being listless and dispirited.

If it weren't for the cotton-filled, newly renovated doghouse in the front yard reminding her that everything that happened last night was real.

Yu Lian thought she had encountered a ghost.

At the school gate, He Lin and his son were already waiting for him.

He Ning'an felt bored at home on the weekend, so she strongly urged him to come to school to learn the piano on the weekend mornings.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Yu Lian rubbed her face with both hands, forcing herself to cheer up.

"It's okay. Mom stayed up late watching movies last night. Let's go find your teacher first, and then I'll take you to your music room for your lesson."

Yu Lian was absent-minded the whole way.

She had seen the cliffs by the sea; they were so high that she dared not look down for too long, or she would get dizzy.

How can a living person, a vibrant body, survive a fall unharmed?

The couple walked behind their son, and He Lin could always spot his little moods immediately.

"You didn't stay up late, did you have a bad chat with Yu Xin last night?"

Yu Lian was taken aback. "How did you know?"

He Lin smiled and said, "I guessed that this would be the outcome. I was afraid you would get angry on the way, and I had to drive, so I wanted to come along, but you disagreed."

Yu Lian chuckled twice. "Stop talking, I really don't know what to say about her anymore, she's driving me crazy!"

In the quiet campus on the weekend, his sudden increase in volume seemed particularly abrupt.

Yu Lian quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Sorry, I just feel like my head is about to explode."

He Lin usually has the most ideas, but he was powerless at this moment.

Even if he, as the brother-in-law, gets involved in the sisters' affair, he might end up pleasing neither side, and the situation could become difficult to resolve.

"How about we hire a professional doctor to give her a science education session?"

Yu Lian shook her head. "No need. She won't listen to anything right now. She's determined to give birth to that child."

As Yu Lian talked about her sister, she couldn't help but think of the scene of seeing Li Yanshen last night.

She didn't know whether she should tell He Lin or listen to Li Yanshen and keep quiet.

Before entering the office building, Yu Lian asked He Lin about Li Zhiya's situation.

"The police force gave him a long leave. According to his wishes before he left, he should have sold the house across from ours and moved to a house closer to his work. He should be settled by now. I sent someone to check on him, and he said he doesn't want to be disturbed anymore and doesn't want anyone to mention his brother to his mother."

Yu Lian couldn't help but start to doubt what she had seen last night.

"I'm feeling a lot of stress lately, should I see a therapist?" she joked.

He Lin didn't think she was joking. "I'll take you there after I've dealt with He Ning'an's matter."

Yu Lian said it casually, but then remembered something else.

However, he didn't say anything while going upstairs, but quietly observed He Lin.

And he carefully recalled the past few months of getting along in his mind.

Aside from the period when they reunited, He Lin behaved normally most of the time.

"We've arrived. I've already informed them, and the teacher has contacted the other parents."

He Lin stopped to the side and reached out to protect her waist as they entered the room.

"Mr. He, Mrs. He, please have a seat."

"Teacher, when will the other parents be coming? Did you convey my request from a couple of days ago?"

The teacher was humble and actively worked to resolve the issue. Therefore, Yu Lian didn't pursue the matter further because he had followed the student's advice and hadn't told the parents.

"I contacted Chi Xiao's parents after you left that day, but their attitude wasn't very good. You two should be prepared."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

As soon as the words were spoken, a commotion came from the stairs, and heavy footsteps accompanied by curses reached the ears of the group.

"I'm sorry, teacher. There was a traffic jam on the way. I am Chi Xiao's father. I apologize to everyone first."

Yu Lian had already planned that if the other party was difficult to deal with, she would be firm in her attitude to ensure that her son received fair treatment.

"Mom, he's lying."

He Ning'an stood behind Yu Lian and whispered something in her ear.

Yu Lian turned around and handed the situation over to the teacher and He Lin.

"How did you lie?"

He Ning'an first explained quietly to her mother, then loudly addressed everyone, "Chi Xiao, didn't you say your dad is tall, handsome, and multi-talented, and that rich women are now groveling before him?"

He walked up to the father that Chi Xiao had mentioned, stretched out his hand, and compared the heights of the two.

"What do you mean? Your dad is as tall as me, a middle school student?"

Chi Xiao was seething with hatred, but in order not to give himself away, he pretended to be calm and continued to make up a story.

But the imposing presence in the office first made the chubby middle-aged man next to him give in.

He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a wad of banknotes. "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm not this student's father."

He left the money and hurriedly left.

The teacher in charge was very angry and criticized Chi Xiao's behavior on the spot.

The teacher called Chi Xiao's family again, and they agreed to come.

After hanging up the phone, the teacher said apologetically to the couple, "I'm sorry, Chi Xiao's family promised to arrive in half an hour. Could you please wait a little longer?"

I glanced at my watch; more than apologizing, my son probably cared more about whether I was on time for class.

After consulting with him, Yu Lian asked He Lin to take her son to the class, while she waited for the other parent.

He Lin usually obeyed her every command.

"Teacher, is the other person male or female? Is there any danger?"

These words made the teacher laugh. "Mr. He, you don't need to worry. Our school has the best security in the whole city. Every office and classroom is equipped with an alarm."

German-Swiss International School assesses not only students' overall qualities but also the qualities of their parents.

This place is a gathering place for the descendants of various elite classes in Hong Kong. If someone is assaulted in public, the first thing to spread will be the parents' circle.

In other words, many people will treat this as an evaluation, and showing off will only lead to a sharp decline, as has been the case in Germany and Switzerland.

"Don't make the teacher laugh. Hurry up and come back. It's not far."

He Lin gave a soft "hmm" and left the office building with his son.

For a moment, only the three of them remained in the office.

Noticing Chi Xiao's embarrassment, Yu Lian secretly gave the teacher in charge of the class a note.

"Chi Xiao, go to room 102 and bring me a box of tea."

"Yes."

After Chi Xiao left, the teacher smiled and said, "Mrs. He, you and Mr. He have such a good relationship."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lian turned to look at the door and whispered, "When no one's around, you can just call me Yu Nian or Ms. Yu."

The teacher, with an expression of smug satisfaction, said, "Okay, Ms. Yu, I definitely won't tell anyone."

Seeing her teacher's shocked expression, Yu Lian explained, "It's not what you think. I don't like people calling me Mrs. He. It sounds awkward since I don't have the surname He. But my husband feels unimportant because of my requests, and he's already made a fuss about it once. But sometimes, couples just have to be tolerant of each other..."

Yu Lian explained earnestly, and the teacher's eyes were practically overflowing with laughter.

dong dong dong-

"Excuse me, are you Teacher Qu?" a male voice sounded in my ear.

The two people in the office instinctively looked towards the door, and Yu Lian jumped up in fright.
