Shen Jialiang looked at Song Zhiyan with a half-smile and said in a flippant tone, "I never thought that Teacher Song, who is a teacher in public, would also learn to talk behind people's backs like a student."

Shen Jialiang didn't mean to mock the student; he just felt that Song Zhiyan's behavior was too childish!

Only elementary school students would tattle behind someone's back; he always confronts people directly!

Song Zhiyan usually seems quiet and reserved, but I never expected her to do something like this behind my back.

Song Zhiyan was a little embarrassed when Shen Jialiang appeared here, but he quickly became serious and said...

"I am simply recounting everything I know, have seen, and have heard. If I knew these things and did not tell my teacher's wife, wouldn't I be unworthy of being a disciple?"

Their eyes met, striking the ground like a lightning bolt carrying sparks, igniting a raging fire.

Shen Jialiang chuckled, "Then you must have had a hard time, Teacher Song!"

Upon seeing this, Lan Meixuan immediately stepped in with a smile to smooth things over.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you two to come today! Why don't you stay for dinner tonight? Aunt Wang bought a lot of delicious food today."

"OK!"

The two spoke in unison.

Lan Meixuan was embarrassed.

These two used to bicker whenever they met, but at most they would argue about how to educate Chen Jiayi.

Now that Chen Jiayi has entered Ocean University of China and is being taught by other teachers, I don't know how these two former mentors have ended up like this.

In the past, Lan Meixuan would invite them to dinner, but they always refused. Now that she suddenly agreed, Lan Meixuan was a little unaccustomed to it.

Chen Jiayi had been trying to keep a low profile, but she didn't expect to be noticed by them anyway.

Song Zhiyan spoke first, asking in a gentle tone, "Jiayi, if there's anything you don't understand at school, you can ask me. Even though I'm not teaching you now, I'm still your former teacher and your friend."

Not to be outdone, Shen Jialiang immediately said to Chen Jiayi, "Jiajia, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask me privately. There's no need to bother Teacher Song."

He is now Chen Jiayi's fiancé! Their relationship is perfectly legitimate!

What is Song Zhiyan?

Song Zhiyan stared sharply at Shen Jialiang, then chuckled softly.

"Teacher Shen, I heard you're 31 this year?"

"Nonsense, I'm not 31 years old this year."

Shen Jialiang instinctively retorted, only to see Song Zhiyan push up her gold-rimmed glasses and put on an innocent expression.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I misremembered. You are about the same age as my cousin. My cousin is 31 years old this year. I misremembered your age and my cousin's age."

Shen Jialiang clicked his tongue lightly, "Teacher Song isn't old yet, but her memory is already failing. I wonder if she forgets what she's teaching when she's in class."

Chen Jiayi quietly moved away from them and went to the kitchen to help.

Wang Shuting was cutting meat, looking at Chen Jiayi with a teasing expression.

She whispered, "Jiayi, I still think Teacher Song is better. What do you think?"

What do you mean by that?

Chen Jiayi helped wash the green beans and then broke them apart.

Wang Shuting coughed and glanced at the two people outside.

“Although Teacher Song is usually quiet, he will stand up at crucial moments. Moreover, we know his family background very well. If you two get married, he won’t be able to control you.”

"Teacher Shen... is quite handsome, but he's a bit old. Although he's not much younger than you, haven't you heard that men over 25..."

Wang Shuting chuckled, seemingly a little embarrassed.

She continued, "From a mother-in-law's perspective, Professor Shen is indeed a very good son-in-law candidate. But there is also a problem: the Shen family has been officials for generations. In the generation of Shen's father, they entered the business world, and Shen Jialiang entered the scientific research field, which is why they did not become officials. But the Shen family's reputation in the political world is still quite influential."

If Chen Jiayi were to marry Shen Jialiang, it would be considered a marriage of convenience to someone of higher status in the past.

There's a saying that marrying into wealth means swallowing needles, while marrying into poverty means swallowing excrement.

Why……

Seeing that Chen Jiayi was in a daze, Wang Shuting continued to say a few more words.

"Auntie thinks Teacher Song is better than Teacher Shen. She's more honest and won't take advantage of you. Teacher Shen is also good, but as a marriage partner, she seems so aloof and doesn't seem like she can take care of people."

Chen Jiayi's thoughts drifted away.

When she suddenly had a stomachache during class and felt a warm flow, Chen Jiayi froze.

Before she could say anything, Shen Jialiang noticed that something was wrong with her.

Then he made an excuse that he felt a bit stuffy and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

Chen Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to the bathroom to change her clothes.

Shen Jialiang didn't come up for a while, and it was almost an hour later that he finally came up.

At the time, Chen Jiayi thought Shen Jialiang was genuinely feeling bored. For the next two days, there was always an extra dish of brown sugar and eggs on Chen Jiayi's table. At first, Chen Jiayi thought that her mother and Aunt Wang remembered her menstrual cycle and specially prepared it for her.

Later, Chen Jiayi found out that it was actually Shen Jialiang who cooked it.

The two people outside were still arguing, and Shen Jialiang was getting impatient.

He realized from the start that Chen Jiayi had slipped away and wanted to follow her into the kitchen, but Song Zhiyan was like a persistent leech, always staring at him.

Shen Jialiang didn't want Song Zhiyan to come into contact with Chen Jiayi, so he insisted on fighting with him for a while.

Just as the two were about to exchange sarcastic remarks, Chen Qiming opened the door and returned.

The moment they saw Chen Qiming, the two of them fell silent.

Lan Meixuan had already secretly slipped away.

What does it have to do with her that these two are fighting?

Chen Qiming was surprised to find that Song Zhiyan and Shen Jialiang were both at his house.

The moment Chen Qiming saw Song Zhiyan, he was overjoyed.

"Little Song? Oh my, it's been so many days since we last met! I didn't expect you to come today!"

When Song Zhiyan saw Chen Qiming return, she immediately stood up.

He walked up to Chen Qiming and silently took the bag from Chen Qiming's hand.

Upon seeing this, Shen Jialiang's eyes revealed a look of shock.

What a scheming man!

Song Zhiyan smiled and said, "Teacher, I've been quite busy lately and haven't had a chance to come see you. I've had some free time these past few days, and I thought since I haven't seen you in so long, I thought I'd come and bother you."

Chen Qiming quickly waved his hand, "What do you mean by disturbing us? We're all family."

Shen Jialiang seized the opportunity, "Yes, Zhiyan, don't be shy, our home is your home!"

Song Zhiyan: "..."

His face turned ashen with anger. Chen Qiming had already seen Shen Jialiang and, seeing that the two were about to argue again, immediately interrupted with a laugh.

"I just got a new bottle of wine recently. You two can come with me tonight and have a good taste of it, see what it's like!"
