Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
Although she didn't know who Xu Xinning was, she heard the key word "pregnant".
Ye Jiang looked at Xu Xinning in surprise, forgetting to shed tears.
She didn't understand why Ouyang Changshan was with Xu Xinning. Seeing such a beautiful girl sitting so intimately with Ouyang Changshan while eating, how could she not overthink it?
Seeing that Ye Jiang didn't react, the aunt said to Ouyang Changshan earnestly, "You're also our teacher Xu's assistant, right? Teacher Du used to serve our teacher Xu food very promptly, but why did you let her come to the cafeteria to eat by herself this time? The cafeteria is crowded and slippery. What if she gets bumped or slips?"
The cafeteria aunties overheard Xu Xinning's story by chance during a meal with school leaders. When they learned that Xu Xinning was so talented at such a young age and was going to represent the country in a medical competition with foreigners, Xu Xinning became their idol.
It's rare to run into Xu Xinning, so how could the cafeteria auntie stand it when she saw someone trying to harm her?
The cafeteria lady, still not appeased, looked at Ye Jiang and said, "Miss, do you know that pointing at people with your finger while speaking is very impolite? Judging from your age, you should be an adult. If your parents didn't teach you that pointing at people with your finger while speaking is impolite, then I'll tell you on behalf of your parents today."
This is a university cafeteria, and the people who can sit here to eat are all highly educated intellectuals. You can't tarnish the reputation of our cafeteria's highly educated people.
And, assistant, this woman is here for you, isn't she? If you don't want to make a scene, take this rude woman away."
Xu Xinning didn't expect the cafeteria aunt to be so helpful to her. To be honest, she had only seen her a few times, and she might not recognize her if she ran into her outside.
Because of this kind of relationship, she still spoke up for her, which moved Xu Xinning deeply.
After the aunt finished speaking, several bolder students clapped.
Ye Jiang's face turned a liverish color, a mixture of anger and embarrassment.
She almost couldn't resist pointing at the cafeteria lady again, but remembering what she had just said, she restrained herself and lowered her hand.
Ouyang Changshan had never suffered such humiliation before. He had spent most of his life in praise and applause. He never expected that his first humiliation would be brought to him by the person he had wanted to spend his life with.
Ouyang Changshan felt fortunate that he discovered it early; otherwise, if he had only found out after getting married, he didn't know how chaotic his life would have become.
He had already planned to break up with Ye Jiang when her true nature was revealed before coming to the cafeteria, but he wasn't really that determined. After all, she was the first person he wanted to spend his life with, and it was impossible for him to make such a firm choice.
But things are different now. Even a cafeteria worker thinks she has a problem with her upbringing. Can he still marry her regardless of everything?
That's being irresponsible with your own life.
Ouyang Changshan pulled Ye Jiang away and walked outside, drawing strange looks from everyone.
After the person involved left, Xu Xinning stood up and thanked the cafeteria lady with a smile, saying, "Auntie, thank you!"
The cafeteria lady waved her hand apologetically, saying, "You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm just telling the truth."
The cafeteria lady thought for a moment and then said, "Ms. Xu, it's not a good idea for you to eat like this while you're pregnant. Although you have two assistants, these young men probably aren't that attentive. How about this, we'll prepare your meals for you every day and have someone deliver them to you. You can give us your meal tickets after they arrive. Does that sound alright?"
Xu Xinning quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, this is too much trouble for everyone. I'm just pregnant, how can I be treated differently?"
The cafeteria lady said, "Oh! What trouble are you talking about? Isn't this what we should do? You're someone who has contributed to our country, what's a little thing for us to do for you?"
Xu Xinning: "It really doesn't need to be so complicated. Usually, when my husband isn't busy, he cooks at home. Recently, he's been too busy to be home, so I eat at the cafeteria. Today is a special case, and this shouldn't happen again in the future."
The cafeteria worker said, "Okay, please don't hesitate to ask if you need our help. It's our honor to serve you."
Xu Xinning: "You're too kind. It's my honor to receive your respect as a junior."
The cafeteria lady said apologetically, "Teacher Xu, you're too kind."
As for Ouyang Changshan and Ye Jiang, Ouyang Changshan directly pulled Ye Jiang out of the school and even told the gatekeeper not to let her in if she came again.
Hearing this, Ye Jiang became even angrier and roared at Ouyang Changshan, "Ouyang Changshan, what do you mean? I didn't do anything to that woman, why are you treating me like this?"
Ouyang Changshan looked at Ye Jiang calmly and said, "Ye Jiang, I admit that I like you quite a bit, and I was prepared to spend my life with you. But today, you disregarded the bigger picture for your own selfish reasons and asked me to give you preferential treatment. Not only that, you also slandered Teacher Xu without even knowing the facts. These two things show that I really don't know you well enough. Ye Jiang, I think we're not suitable for each other. Let's just be ordinary colleagues from now on."
Ye Jiang was stunned. She didn't seem to have done anything wrong, so why were the consequences so severe?
Being able to date Ouyang Changshan was the most successful thing Ye Jiang had ever done in her life, and she could also feel that Ouyang Changshan was sincere towards her, otherwise he wouldn't have been so indulgent towards her during their relationship.
It turns out that even this leniency has its limits.
If she could marry into the Ouyang family, would she still need to work so hard?
Once you have a legal status, what can't you have?
Ye Jiang regretted it; she regretted not having thought this through before.
She doesn't want to break up. If she does, where will she find a man with such good qualities?
Besides, her family and colleagues all know they're dating. If they break up, not to mention what her colleagues will think of her, her elders at home will definitely be furious.
You know, when they found out she had such a good boyfriend, their joy was indescribable. Grandpa even said that their family might have to change their social standing in the future.
Ye Jiang really couldn't imagine the consequences of the breakup.
Ye Jiang quickly grabbed Ouyang Changshan's arm and pleaded, "Changshan, I was wrong. Can we go back to how things were before? I was just too worried about you and cared too much about you, so I misunderstood when I saw you eating with another woman. Changshan, I'll go apologize to that person. Can you take me to apologize to her?"
