Since then, except for the joint entrance examination, Ling Yu has never been to school again.

Although he was self-taught, the Ling family still hired a top-tier teacher to tutor him one-on-one. The test papers printed by the school would also be delivered to him on time by his father's secretary, and the teacher would grade them after he finished.

Ling's father was worried that his grades would decline, but in the joint entrance examination, his ranking rose instead of falling.

In contrast, Leng Shan was bound by family feuds and anxieties about love. She spent her days either plotting revenge against the Leng family or constantly speculating about Ling Yu's mental state, which nearly drove her to a mental breakdown.

study?

Even if she had long forgotten what it was, she wouldn't have the will to learn it.

She only wanted to hold onto Ling Yu.

But Ling Yu wanted to abandon her and run away.

...

"Relax, it's okay if you don't pass the exam, your brother will take care of you."

Outside the examination center, Yan Yugang had just finished speaking when someone slapped him on the back of the neck, making a loud sound.

He looked at his father with a wronged expression, "Dad, I was just joking, trying to lighten the mood, why are you taking it so seriously? It hurts so much, does it mean you don't treat me like your own son anymore now that you have a replacement?"

Father Yan: "Stop talking nonsense. It's more like Can Can will take care of you in the future."

Yan Yu chuckled and said happily, "That works too!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yan's mother glared at him again, "You're so unreliable. You're a boss yourself, yet you keep saying things like you're a kept man. Aren't you ashamed?"

Yan Yu said proudly, "So what if I live off my sister? I live off my own sister, not someone else's."

People around them laughed when they heard this, and many eyes turned to them.

Yan's mother quickly told him to shut up.

He turned around and wiped away non-existent sweat from Yan Can, then looked at the person holding the umbrella next to Yan Can, "Xiao Yan must be tired, right? Give the umbrella to Yan Yu and let him hold it, so he won't make a fool of himself with nothing to do."

Yan Yu: "Don't waste your time. He'd love for this umbrella to last a lifetime."

Yan Conghe pursed his lips slightly, quite satisfied with the assessment. He said gently, "I'm not tired. I'll be entering the examination room soon."

As renowned professors in academia and prominent business leaders, Yan's parents were recognized after standing for a while. To avoid causing congestion and inconvenience to others, the two got into the car.

Shortly after, the candidates entered the examination room.

Yan Yu stopped saying things like "it's okay if you don't do well on the exam" and kept cheering Yan Can on. He knew that his sister was going to produce another top scorer in the family this time!

The same goes for Yan Conghe.

He stroked Yan Can's hair, his eyes firm yet gentle.

"Do your best on the exam, I believe in you."

...

After Yan Can left, Yan Yu quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe the sweat from her palms. "It's so strange. I'm not even this nervous when I take exams myself. I know Can Can will do very well, but I'm still incredibly nervous."

Yan Conghe said, "That's because you're her brother."

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I'm her brother. And you, aren't you nervous?"

Yan Conghe shook his head and calmly closed his umbrella.

Seeing that Yan Yu was still staring at him, as if waiting for an answer, he said, "I told you, I believe her."

Yan Yu clicked her tongue, wanting to make a comment, but when she turned around, she saw someone looking at her.

It was Ling Yu and Leng Shan, whom I hadn't seen for almost two months.

Both of them had lost a lot of weight, but Ling Yu's loss was more noticeable. Her cheeks were sunken and her cheekbones were prominent, giving her a gaunt appearance.

At this moment, Ling Yu looked at him with a complicated expression.

Leng Shan seemed a bit odd. She held the exam admission ticket in one hand and tightly gripped Ling Yu's oversized T-shirt, which was too big for her because she was too thin, with the other. At the same time, her eyes kept glancing around, as if she was looking for something or simply observing something. She seemed a little neurotic.

Yan Yu glanced at it and then looked away.

Before he could turn around, Leng Shan saw him and, in front of everyone, slapped Ling Yu across the face, demanding to know what he was looking at.

The parents and students around them immediately turned to look at them.

Ling Yu's expression changed drastically, but she did not react.

Leng Shan looked proud and smug.

"Let's go."

Yan Conghe's voice came from ahead, and Yan Yu walked expressionlessly through the crowd to leave.

Then, just as they were about to get on the bus, another unexpected event occurred.

Leng Shan called out Yan Can's name.

"It's Yan Can again!"

"You've been studying like crazy these past two months just so you can go to the same university as her, right?"

Yan Yu's face darkened and he was about to turn back, but Yan Conghe pressed down on his shoulder.

"Get in the car first."

This is a crucial test for the future of thousands of families and students, and there can be absolutely no mistakes.

He pulled Yan Yu into the car and coldly watched the farce unfold in the crowded throng.

How long can a person's patience last?

If he were facing Yan Can, his patience would be limitless.

But the young couple not far away seemed to be the complete opposite. The girl was being unreasonable and making a fuss, while the boy didn't say a word, but his emotions were already on the verge of collapse, just waiting for a trigger to explode completely.

Leng Shan didn't cause a scene for long before the teachers and police officers maintaining order came over to mediate and took the two of them to the examination hall.

Inside the car, Yan Yu's face was gloomy.

Yan Conghe glanced at the exam site and said casually, "If we can't touch her, we can touch the Leng family."

Although Leng Shan said she was severing ties with the Leng family, she wouldn't have been living so comfortably for the past two months if she hadn't brought the bank cards and savings from the Leng family.

Only when her financial resources are completely cut off will she fall into true despair.

As for Ling Yu?

Because he insisted on living with Leng Shan, the Ling family reduced his allowance. The young master Ling, who used to spend money without restraint, now knows what it feels like to be strapped for cash.

He could certainly save money, work, or ask his parents for money, but he would never have enough to satisfy Leng Shan's material needs.

Poverty-stricken couples face a hundred sorrows.

When poverty and suspicion occurred simultaneously, their relationship came to an end.

The exam was going to last two and a half hours, and there was nothing to do while waiting outside the exam center, so Yan Yu and Yan Conghe went back to the company first.

They didn't return to the examination site until noon.

Yan's mother booked a hotel, and they picked Yan Can up and took her to the hotel. After she had lunch and rested, they sent her back to the examination hall.

The same applies to subsequent exams.

After finishing the last exam and picking up Yan Can, Yan Yu breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Finally, the exams are over!"

It was as if he were the one writing furiously in the exam hall.

Yan Conghe, on the other hand, had a gentle expression on his face.

"Congratulations, Miss Yan, a new chapter in your life has begun."

Yan Can raised an eyebrow and, in front of her brother, smiled and took Yan Conghe's hand, only to have Yan Conghe take the initiative and hold it tightly.

Yan Yu was completely dumbfounded.

"Hey hey hey!"

"What are you two doing? Are you pretending I don't exist?!"
