That night.
Exhausted, Liu Xiaoyun returned home, her face pale, like a gardenia that had lost its vitality and was about to wither.
"My sister's back!"
When Yueyue, who was waiting at the door, saw her, she was so happy that she fluttered over to her like a butterfly.
His carefree demeanor clearly showed that he had already forgotten the scolding he had received from her just a few days ago.
However, just as Yueyue was about to pounce on her, she stopped abruptly. She must have remembered being pushed away by her before. A look of panic flashed across her silly little face. She stood obediently in front of her, her hands clasped in front of her, a little reserved. She took small steps and followed her into the living room, keeping her distance.
Liu Xiaoyun forced a smile and asked, "Where are Dad and Mom?"
"ah?"
Yueyue had never seen her older sister so kind before. After a couple of seconds of surprise, she immediately exclaimed happily, "At home!"
She pointed to the living room.
Seemingly afraid of ignoring her sister's questions, she excitedly ran into the living room and flung the door open.
He even shouted into the living room:
"Dad! My sister is back!"
Liu Xiaoyun stepped into the living room.
In the living room, Liu Zhicheng was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When he saw her return, he looked up at her and greeted her casually, "You're back."
Liu's mother was putting the food on the table.
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyun, Liu's mother smiled warmly: "Xiaoyun is back. Perfect timing! I had someone make your favorite sweet and sour carp. Come and eat."
Liu Xiaoyun's mouth felt dry.
Looking at her familiar family, she managed to move her lips with difficulty.
Because of her silence, the family seemed to sense that something was wrong. Even Yueyue obediently hid behind the door, peeking at her cautiously from behind the door frame.
"Dad, Mom..."
With great effort, she finally opened her mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Tomorrow, you will accompany me to turn myself in."
Silence fell in an instant.
As if the air had frozen, Liu's mother froze in her hand as she distributed the chopsticks, turning to look at her in disbelief.
Liu Zhicheng was still holding the newspaper in his hand.
He wasn't old enough to have failing eyesight yet; the words on the newspaper were so clear, but he could no longer read them...
...
The next day, news of Liu Xiaoyun's surrender spread throughout Huaicheng.
When the news reached Ye Yun, she was accompanying Qin Zheng to a company development planning meeting. In the solemn atmosphere, the police officers knocked on the meeting room door.
Police said that Ye Yun was involved in a case of student registration fraud.
Ye Yun immediately understood the situation.
She declined the police station's invitation and handed the matter over to the police captain, instructing him to follow Liu Xiaoyun's instructions.
Since Liu Xiaoyun insisted on turning herself in, she must have made the necessary arrangements.
Moreover, she has Liu Zhicheng behind her.
Even if Liu Xiaoyun doesn't make any arrangements, Liu Zhicheng will still take care of the aftermath for her and his eldest daughter, whom he has always neglected.
Later, the school also sent a telegram.
Whether it was Director Liu's arrangement, Liu Xiaoyun's wish, or because of Qin Zheng's influence, the school actually contacted her and asked her to accept Liu Xiaoyun's position, which made Ye Yun laugh in exasperation.
"Liu Xiaoyun's promotion to vice principal is due to her ability, and has little to do with a minor student registration issue. Goodbye."
After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.
He didn't say a single unnecessary word.
After she hung up the phone, Qin Zheng came over and said, "I haven't been home for several days. Mom and Dad said they'll miss you by the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Shall we go back and visit?"
Recently, Qin Zheng has been busy with Ye Xue's affairs and has not been able to take care of his daughter at home. Not only does he miss his parents on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but he also misses his child terribly.
He hadn't experienced much familial love from Li Xiuying since childhood, but now that he had a daughter, he knew what longing truly meant.
This kind of longing is different from ordinary longing; it is something ingrained in one's bones and cannot be let go of.
Ye Yun nodded.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Zheng arranged things at the company and took Ye Yun back to the county town.
I got home just in time for dinner.
Qin Zheng had called Qin Xiang'e in advance, and Qin Xiang'e prepared a large table of dishes to welcome Ye Yun and Qin Zheng home, and also to celebrate Ye Yun's victory in getting her student status sorted out.
This is a joyous occasion!
From any perspective, this is a joyous occasion for their family.
At the dinner table, Ye Yun poured Mu Jingsheng a glass of wine.
Although there were no explicit words of thanks, Mu Jingsheng was flattered by the toast and sensed Ye Yun's feelings. He turned away and quietly wiped away a tear.
After the meal, Mu Jingsheng asked Ye Yun what she planned to do after getting her student registration back.
Ye Yun pondered for two seconds.
"The school called me and asked me to take over Liu Xiaoyun's position."
"That's great."
"I refused."
"What?"
Mu Jingsheng, who was immersed in joy, was extremely surprised when he heard this.
"Xiaoyun, this is the vice principal position. Not only is it a secure job, but it also comes with high status, power, and recognition. It's a position that many people dream of."
"What use would it be to me?"
"Why didn't it work?"
“I’m not Liu Xiaoyun. I’m not the kind of person who would risk my life to save two young children, nor am I someone who has worked my way up from the bottom for a year and made countless achievements. I didn’t pay any price to be parachuted into that position. What do those competitors who fought so hard think? Is that fair to them? And who will truly respect me?”
"Besides, I have no intention of becoming a vice principal of any school."
Mu Jingsheng was speechless.
