Han Yuzheng had a big fight because of Chen Ailin and was about to jump off the building. Fortunately, Yu Cheng and Li Miaomiao were both good fighters and they managed to pull him back.

After that, Han Yuzheng fell into depression for a long time, but finally came out and started to continue running the business with Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng was cheated out of money and was in debt, which made him very miserable. He worked three jobs every day and almost had no food, drink or sleep. He was so tired that he fell ill and his physical condition deteriorated significantly.

After Li Miaomiao found out, she urged him to take a rest.

"Yu Cheng, you can't do this anymore. You'll get exhausted."

"No, it's my fault. This is my punishment."

"You should tell your parents as soon as possible and let them help you. Your parents will be distressed to see you like this."

"I didn't have the face to tell my parents."

"Yu Cheng, why do you look so much like my friend Guo Lingling? But she broke up with me a long time ago."

"Oh, it's your ex-best friend, what happened to her?"

"I'm telling you, she was determined to drop out of school. No matter how I tried to stop her, I couldn't stop her. She insisted that she had found a new way out in life, and then went out to work. In the end, she was cheated out of all her money.

In the end, she didn't even have enough money to go home. I asked her to call her father, but she said she didn't dare. Going home for the New Year and getting the money was better than anything else.

What happened? She was scammed again during the Chinese New Year and returned home dejected, with her father still having to take care of her.

It's a pity that her father treated her badly, and only wanted to marry her off in exchange for a large amount of betrothal gifts. She said she wanted to resist, but now she has run away with a man in his forties, without taking a penny of the betrothal gifts and refusing to come home. Her parents are now anxious and helpless.

Yu Cheng listened and said firmly, "I'm different from Guo Lingling. I've never thought about becoming a phoenix. I can make money too. Look, I'm making quite a bit now. I've already mortgaged my barbecue restaurant, so I'm not short of money. I just need to work harder and I'll be fine."

"Okay, it's up to you. I have to go back too. I've quit my job as a network administrator. I'm going out for a drink with Han Yue tomorrow, and then I'll go back to our place."

"You want to go back? Where are you going?"

"I'll go back and finish my exams before coming back. I can't bear to leave Han Yue."

In late December of 2023, the wind was biting cold. Li Miaomiao boarded the train home alone. She was worried and thoughtless all the way, but she didn't dare to go home.

After getting off the bus, she didn't know where to go. As she walked, she saw an acquaintance, Sun Meng.

Sun Meng's hair has grown longer and she's a little thinner, but she still dresses in a neutral style.

"Sister Miaomiao, you're back?" Sun Meng ran to Li Miaomiao excitedly.

"Mengmeng, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Sister Miaomiao, I'm looking for you. Come with me quickly. Something happened to your brother."

"Ah? What happened?" Li Miaomiao was very anxious when she heard that her brother was in trouble.

"He was disciplined and said he would be fired."

"What? What has this kid done wrong? He's going to take the high school entrance exam next year. Can't he just behave himself?"

Li Tianyou was severely criticized in school, his parents were asked to come, he was sent home to reflect, he was placed on probation, and he was given all kinds of serious demerits, without exception. This time he fought too hard, and he was starting to be persuaded to drop out.

"Mengmeng, aren't students not allowed to be expelled during compulsory education? The school is probably sending him home to take the exam."

"Sister, he was wronged. He is a good man, but why did he have to do this?" Sun Meng said and started crying.

"Where is he now?"

"At my house. I'll take you there."

Li Miaomiao came to Sun Meng's house and saw Li Tianyou sitting on the sofa in a daze, not saying a word.

Li Miaomiao took a closer look and although he was sitting, he estimated that he was almost 1.75 meters tall. She didn't expect that her unreliable brother was so tall.

Li Miaomiao walked over and sat next to Li Tianyou: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Tianyou raised his head and said softly, "You're not dead. Your family thought you were dead and we cried for you for a long time. If you're not dead, why don't you go home?"

It was light at the beginning, but became heavier and heavier towards the end. When he said the sentence "Why don't you go home if you're not dead?", his tone rose, as if with a hint of resentment.

Li Miaomiao was also angry when she heard this, and twisted Li Tianyou's ear and started to scold him: "Well, you and I have been out for so long, and you didn't look for me, but you just listened to other people's rumors that I was dead.

How dare you say that? You get into a fight today, another one tomorrow, and you're constantly breaking the rules. Don't you want to take the high school entrance exam? Do you still want to go to school? What awful mistake did you make this time? You've been expelled from school on probation.

I think your parents have spoiled you, and you still have the nerve to say that to me. I'm really ashamed to have a brother like you."

At this time, Sun Meng quickly came over to pull Li Miaomiao: "Sister, don't do this."

After saying that, Li Miaomiao pushed Li Tianyou onto the sofa, and Li Tianyou almost fell.

"What's wrong with me? They scold me, and you scold me too? You all think I'm shameful. Have you ever thought about how much pressure I'm under? I go to morning reading at five or six o'clock every morning, and I only have a short time to eat, and I have to wait in line for half a day. Have I ever complained?

"I'm a human being, not a test-taking machine, even though I'm constantly being taught classes. You all complain about my low test scores, but what can I do? I just can't do the math problems, I just can't remember the English words, and I get sleepy when I listen to incomprehensible language in class. It's tough on me, too."

"Have you learned to talk back?" Li Miaomiao swallowed the words back. What Li Tianyou said was indeed right. She had complained a lot about the strange system in middle school. It was because of this that she got sick. She worked hard on fitness for several years in college before she recovered.

"Sister, don't you know either? Do I want to fight in school?" Li Tianyou said with tears in his eyes.

Li Miaomiao hugged Li Tianyou in her arms and gently touched the back of his head: "Tianyou, I'm sorry, I know you have tried very hard. Don't be afraid, sister is here."

"I won't blame you. I know you're disappointed in me. I also know I'm terrible. I'm not as smart as you, and I blame myself for not being able to get into high school."

The brother and sister hugged each other and cried for a while, and Sun Meng, who was watching, also laughed.

"Then what happened to you this time?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"I had a fight with Zhou Jiayue from the vocational high school next door." Li Tianyou said firmly, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

"Zhou Jiayue?" Li Miaomiao opened her mouth wide.

"Do you know him?" Li Tianyou asked.

"Not only do I know her, I've also had sex with her. We almost had a fight, but I let her go at that time. I didn't expect that she would bully my brother. I will never let her off this time." As she spoke, murderous intent flashed in Li Miaomiao's eyes.
