In a certain university, students in a classroom are whispering, waiting for class to start and for the teacher to arrive.
The focus of their topic was this teacher, a famous beautiful teacher in their school with intellectual curly hair. The clothes she wore were not very special, but when she wore them, it was hard to take your eyes off them, especially the female students, who wanted to know the brand of the clothes so they could buy the same ones.
This beautiful teacher looks young. She is their senior sister of many generations. She already has two daughters. She is a member of the Calligraphy Association and studied under a famous teacher. One of her calligraphy works can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan in the market. She can easily make hundreds of thousands of yuan for just one character, but she seldom sells them.
Such a teacher is naturally a hot topic among students.
They also learned that a student went to confess his love to a teacher, which was hilarious because he never saw the teacher's husband show up. Later he found out that the teacher was a military wife. The soldier was very handsome and good at fighting. The boy who confessed his love went back in shame.
It is illegal to disrupt a military marriage, and you may get beaten.
When they saw the teacher, they were amazed, and then there was a burst of cheering, "Welcome Teacher Lin."
There are also bold confessions: "Teacher Lin, I like you!"
"Teacher Lin, I love you."
Lin Yining couldn't help but laugh and tucked the hair in front of her head behind her ears. It was hard not to be happy when being with such a group of students.
"Students, thank you for your support. Let me first give you a brief self-introduction. My last name is Lin, Shuangmu Lin... Let's get down to business. Take out your textbooks and open the table of contents. Today we will talk about the content of the second section."
The students below opened their textbooks in a rush.
…
When the get out of class was over, she was surrounded by people, "Teacher Lin, can I give you my contact information? I have some questions to ask you."
"If you have any questions, please contact the monitor first. She will relay them to me."
She didn't leave the classroom until one minute before the next class started. There were too many people surrounding her and she couldn't get out.
Thinking of this, Lin Yining shook her head. Every time a new class came, they would do the same thing. Lin Yining didn't know how they spread the rumors. Some of the rumors, those who knew about them, were talking about her, while those who didn't know thought they were talking about something else.
She didn't have many classes, so she could leave after they were over. She went to the parking lot and prepared to go back.
She walked out of the school gate and stopped not far away. There was a small market there where many nearby residents sold things. The food here was fresh and cheap.
Many people come here to patronize.
She bought some vegetables and went back to the courtyard. She saw a chessboard under a tree in the yard. Lin Duzhong was playing chess with Shi Changtian.
There is a small table next to her, with tea, fruit, and snacks on it, and a black dog lying at her feet. She would not change her life if she were a god.
"Grandfather, teacher."
The black dog lying at Lin Duzhong's feet raised its head lazily and looked at her, then lay back down, wagging its tail gently.
Very pleasant.
She put the dishes in the kitchen and an aunt took over to clean them up.
"Teacher, take a look at my handwriting. Is it better than before?"
Lin Yining took out a piece of calligraphy she had written last night from her room.
Shi Changtian waved his hand: "Wait a minute, this is the critical moment, wait a moment."
He frowned and stared at the chessboard, in stark contrast to him was Lin Duzhong's leisurely posture.
Obviously, her great-grandfather had the upper hand.
Lin Yining sat down next to him, picked up the grapes on the table and put them into his mouth.
The teacher is good at everything except chess. He is a terrible chess player. Lin Duzhong is not a very good chess player either, but he wins against him.
Shi Changtian still wants to order a plate every time, he really loves it.
After they decided the winner, Shi Changtian picked up Lin Yining's calligraphy and examined it carefully. Lin Duzhong cleaned up the mess and put away the chess pieces one by one, while talking to Lin Yining, "A classmate came to see you today."
Lin Yining: “Who?”
Not many classmates knew her address, and they were all her good friends. If they came to see her, why didn’t they tell her in advance? Was there something urgent?
Lin Duzhong and she blinked, "It's a man called Gu Shi."
He is old, but he still remembers this man because he specifically asked someone about him at that time.
He was the great-granddaughter’s first love.
After dating for a while, he went abroad to study and then settled down there. Naturally, they broke up as they had different goals.
It has been so long, and now his great-granddaughter's children are so grown up, and they still come to find him. It is strange that Lin Duzhong also has some points.
Lin Yining was stunned for a moment because he didn't expect it to be this person. "Did he tell me what he wanted to talk to me about?"
Lin Duzhong: "No, I said you were not here, and he said he would come again tomorrow. From the look on his face, I guess he wanted to catch up with you."
Lin Yining couldn't help but frown: "Reminiscing about the past? We haven't been in touch for a long time. What do you mean reminiscing about the past? Who gave him my address? Why is he so annoying?"
Lin Duzhong nodded in agreement, "That's right, I just hate it."
The tone was that of a spoiled child. Lin Yining didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing it. "Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore. Forget it. I'll wait for him tomorrow and see what his purpose is."
Their relationship back then wasn't bad. They were no longer lovers, but they weren't enemies either.
Now his purpose was unclear, Lin Yining planned to find out, but she already had a bad feeling about the fact that he came to her house without any prior notice.
After looking at the calligraphy for a while, Shi Chengtian cleared his throat and said, "No wonder you showed it to me. This calligraphy has some meaning."
He is not one to praise others easily, so to hear him say that someone is somewhat interesting is already a rare evaluation.
Lin Yining was brought back to his senses, and his face was filled with joy: "I think so too. When I was practicing calligraphy yesterday, I suddenly got the feeling and finished it in one go."
Suddenly, the big black dog lying at Lin Duzhong's feet stood up, pricked up his ears and listened attentively, then quickly ran to the door and stood guard. It was obvious that his two little masters were about to come back.
Wang Yusan and Wang Yuyan are the names of her two daughters.
Now in primary school.
At this time, it's time for them to come back from school.
Sure enough, not long after, an aunt brought them back.
Lin Yining stood up with a smile, "You guys are back, what did you learn at school today..."
The next day, Gu Shi arrived on time. Lin Yining was entertaining guests in the yard. "What's the matter?"
Gu Shi looked at her with a complicated expression, and also a bit of realization: "Nothing, I just left for so long, and I feel a little strange after coming back. I want to see you. How have you been all these years?"
Lin Yining's expression remained unchanged. "I'm doing very well."
Gu Shi: "I can see that you are married?"
Lin Yining: "You're married and have children. Have you gone abroad to live the life you wanted?" Lin Yining didn't want to chat with him.
Gu Shi was silent for a while, "I guess so." He looked at his hands, "The surgeries I performed were pretty good. I have gained some fame and received many invitations." As he spoke, there was a hint of complacency in his tone.
Lin Yining suddenly realized that he was here to show off to her.
Gu Shi: "My career was good, but my marriage was not so good. I married a foreign woman, but we divorced later. She couldn't understand some of my ideas, and she took my son away. I have been single since then."
Lin Yining: “…………”
oh.
The atmosphere suddenly became dull.
Gu Shi spoke up to save the atmosphere: "I haven't seen you for such a long time, don't you have anything to say to me?" He raised the corners of his mouth, looking a bit like he did in college.
Lin Yining shook his head: "Didn't we finish talking at the beginning? There's nothing to say."
Gu Shi: "...Are you still blaming me?"
Lin Yining: "Why should I blame you? We broke up because of our different values. There are many couples who break up. We broke up peacefully at the beginning. Why should I blame you? At least you told me your thoughts honestly. Some people go abroad and drag people in China with them. They have a foreign relationship while having a girlfriend abroad."
Gu Shi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. Was he the only one who could compare himself with those people?
His character can't be that bad.
Lin Yining: "That's not the case, but you suddenly showed up at my house without even saying hello, how would I know what kind of person you have become now?"
Gu Shi frowned: "No matter how long it takes, I will still be the same person. Although my previous marriage was not smooth, I can indeed learn more abroad than at home, and the development situation abroad is also better than at home. If I have to do it again, I will still make this choice."
Lin Yining raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "You don't have to tell me."
Gu Shi's voice lowered, "I just don't want you to misunderstand me."
Lin Yining nodded casually: "Oh, how did you know my address?"
This is what Lin Yining cares about.
If that friend told him without saying hello to her, then he is probably not her friend.
Of course, Gu Shi would not say where he knew it from: "I heard it accidentally. When I heard your name, I thought it was someone else. I didn't expect it to be you by such a coincidence."
Lin Yining laughed: "Then you don't have anything to talk to me about, I have other things to do."
Gu Shi looked at her, somewhat unable to understand, as if she was incredible: "After so many years, I returned to China, just to see old friends, you don't have to be so cold to me, right?"
Lin Yining: "I'm not cold to you. I'm usually like this to people I don't know well. I'm sorry if I caused you to misunderstand." He said sorry, but there was no apologetic look on his face.
Gu Shi understood that it seemed that his sudden visit had offended her.
This situation was not suitable for more chatting, so he stood up and handed over his business card. "Since you have something to do, let's talk next time. This is my business card."
Lin Yining took it politely.
Gu Shi: "Where's your business card?"
Lin Yining: “I didn’t bring it.”
Gu Shi: “…”
After watching him leave, Lin Yining looked at what was written on it. Oh, Vice President.
No wonder he's so cocky.
Lin Yining curled her lips. Anyway, there would never be a time when she would have to ask him for help.
Her mother-in-law is an expert in the military medical system.
If there is a problem unfortunately, it would be more convenient to seek help from family members.
Not to mention she's in great shape.
When leaving the Lin family, Gu Shi frowned. Some girls passing by saw such a mature and handsome man like this and couldn't help but come up to him and talk to him, asking him if they needed any help.
Gu Shi refused gently.
With his good looks and temperament, there is never a shortage of proactive women around him.
When he broke up with Lin Yining, he didn't expect that Lin Yining would immediately agree when he just mentioned it, and then he could never contact this person again.
It was cut even more cleanly than his.
He didn't understand why she could let it go so quickly. Didn't she like him?
He has not yet persuaded her to go abroad with him. With her grades, going abroad and settling down there is not a problem at all.
But she was not happy about it and took the issue very seriously.
Willing to give him up for this.
This annoyed him for a long time.
She didn't like herself that much at all.
I was so stupid to try to persuade him to go abroad with me.
After receiving the invitation this time, he hesitated for a long time, but he had no hope of getting promoted in a short period of time abroad, and the older he got, the more he missed his homeland, so he accepted the invitation and came back.
After coming back, he couldn't help but ask his old classmates about Lin Yining, and he found out a lot of information.
She is living a good life.
I have stayed in my alma mater and have been evaluated for a professional title. I am welcomed and respected by my classmates and I have a happy family.
It seemed that she was living a good life without him, so he came to see if she was living as well as the rumors said.
As soon as they met, he knew that what he said was true. You can tell whether a person is living a good life from the condition on his face.
And the clothes she was wearing, looked inconspicuous, but they suited her temperament very well. The necklace on her neck was from a well-known luxury brand, and the jade on her wrist was lustrous and valuable.
Her family said they were a small business and didn't have that much money, so that meant the man she married came from a well-off family with plenty of food and clothing.
She has a respectable job, but it doesn't pay that much.
And even if he had been abroad before, he knew how valuable a courtyard house like this one in the capital was.
After he left, Lin Yining immediately put the bracelet back on her hand. She didn't like wearing anything when writing.
She has a lot of jewelry, but it is rare for her to wear it on purpose like she does today.
Lin Yining took great pains to get this outfit for today. He couldn't wear all branded clothes, as that would make him look like a nouveau riche. So the clothes just had to be decent, but the jewelry and other items had to have something that showed how rare and precious they were.
It shows that she is living a good life now.
When Gu Shi proposed to break up, it was because he wanted to live a better life abroad. Now he might come here to show off how well and happily he is living abroad, so I naturally can't let him down.
Not for anything else, not for the bread, but for the face.
When he went to school the next day, Lin Yining felt refreshed. On the way, he heard two people talking about a research project. They were talking about a chain of restaurants on the street.
"Five Flavors restaurants are not listed, but they are everywhere. Do you know how many there are?"
"I have checked and found that there are tens of thousands of them in provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, etc. in China. There is no accurate number of them yet, as they are not listed."
"Have you included those abroad? There must be Chinatowns abroad, which are listed in the list of the world's top 100 brands."
"No, we only counted the domestic data. We don't have the internal data for the foreign data, so we have no way of knowing it."
Lin Yining laughed when he heard it.
However, her good mood disappeared after she arrived at the office building, and she actually bumped into Gu Shi in the office building.
Seeing Lin Yining, Gu Shi was also stunned, and then smiled: "What a coincidence." He gestured to the person standing next to him: "I have a nephew who was admitted here this year. I came to ask about his situation in school."
He didn't follow here on purpose, although he had thought about passing by and taking a look at Lin Yining's class.
Lin Yining smiled and nodded, without saying anything. After saying hello, he said, "I'm going to go to class now. You can chat slowly. I won't disturb you."
Even if what he said was true, Lin Yining didn't want to see him, and her good mood for the day was gone.
The relationship between Lin Yining and Yu Xiangan has never been made public.
Lin Chuanbai is not very famous among the public, but Yu Xiangan is different. During a flood in a certain year, she made a big appearance in front of the whole country.
Not many people in the school knew about this, but Gu Shi happened to know it.
One of the attending physicians in his hospital was also from their school. He happened to see Lin Yining's photo and said he knew him.
"She is a princess, not everyone can reach her height."
Gu Shi was surprised, "What princess?"
"I don't know much about it. I just happened to hear my teacher talk about it. Her family is well-off and she is said to have a good background."
Gu Shi: "It seems that her family runs a small business."
The attending physician was very sure: "Definitely not. I accidentally heard before that she has a villa in the wealthy area of the capital, a vineyard abroad, and a helicopter. How can an ordinary family have such things?"
Gu Shi knew the wealthy area that the attending physician was talking about.
Not to mention how high the housing prices are, the main thing is that they are simply not available. The newly built phase has not even been launched for sale and all the houses have been sold out internally.
There was no need for him to lie, so it must be Lin Yining who concealed the truth.
Gu Shi wanted to know more about Lin Yining's situation because of his half-understanding.
After the last time, he knew that Lin Yining was no longer welcoming to him, so he looked for some classmates that both of them knew.
Some relationships are average, while others have never lost contact.
We are all adults now, and we don't know when Gu Shi will be asked for help in making connections or saying a few words. Basically, no one wants to offend a doctor, and no one can say that they will be healthy and free of illness for the rest of their lives.
Lin Yining was annoyed to find that Gu Shi's figure would appear beside her from time to time.
Lin Duzhong noticed her irritability, "There were more than one or two people who came to your house, why didn't you seem so irritable then?"
Lin Yining took a sip of water. "Of course I wasn't that upset at that time. As soon as I brought up the name of military marriage, they all ran away. Even if there were some who didn't know what to do, they wouldn't appear in front of me again after Li Pan had a "friendly" talk with them. Now this one's purpose is unclear. I don't know what he wants to do."
Lin Yining thought it would be best for them to forget each other, but this person showed up to show his presence.
Then, Gu Shi saw Yu Xiangan enter the courtyard.
I hadn't thought of it before, but now when I take out the photos and check them, it's easy to find the similarities between the mother and daughter's faces.
You can find information about Yu Xiangan by searching on the Internet or looking for previous reporting records.
A legendary figure who rose from nothing.
There are also textbook cases.
Having lived in a capitalist country for so many years, Gu Shi understands the power of money very well.
If it was her daughter, it's no wonder she could afford to live in such a house and have such jewelry.
Perhaps, it's too simple.
This also means that she was lying to him when they were dating, and her mother had already become rich at that time.
What do you mean by small business? If this is still a small business, then what is the big business?
Is it the business of large state-owned enterprises backed by the state?
After Gu Shi understood this, he felt mixed emotions. This...she really could be called a princess.
Did he miss a lot?
Now that he has returned to China, he is still very popular. Many people want to introduce him to girls, many of whom are young girls of their prime. However, when you compare their conditions with others, you will find that they are all inferior to him.
Yu Xiangan and Lin Chuanbai came back from their vacation abroad. When Lin Yining saw her mother coming, she was in high spirits. She pulled her mother's arm and acted like a little girl, "Mom, you went out to play with Dad again without me."
Yu Xiangan: "Aren't you busy? Don't delay your work. When you retire, you can go wherever you want."
The basic situation has been determined. Yu Xiangan is in semi-retirement. He has made enough money and done what he wanted to do, so naturally he wants to enjoy life. If he really has to wait until he is in his seventies or eighties to enjoy it, what's the point?
There are capable people to help her with business matters, and she only needs to determine the final direction. It doesn't matter if there are occasional losses due to lack of timely control.
Those big projects still need her to review and approve.
Yu Xiangan now has the title of an international gourmet because she flies all over the world to taste the delicacies of other countries. She eats a lot and becomes famous.
The same goes for Lin Chuanbai. When he goes abroad, he often communicates with some friendly laboratories abroad to learn from each other and make progress together.
In the past, there were so many rules and regulations that you either couldn’t go abroad or you didn’t have a well-known name, so when you went abroad, no one would know who you were.
This time, Yu Xiangan and Mr. Lin Chuanbai lived on an island for half a month, then went to a certain country to soak in hot springs, and then flew to ski and see squirrels.
I listened to Yu Xiangan talk about the process of this trip.
Lin Yining said sourly: "Mom, I want to go too."
Yu Xiangan patted her: "Next time I go with you, I'll bring you gifts, do you want them?"
"Yes, of course!"
The things Yu Xiangan brought them included expensive and cheap things. Lin Yining liked the rain flower stones that Lin Chuanbai bought the most.
Lin Yining thought it was picked up: "Where did you pick it up?"
Lin Chuanbai: "I bought it when I was traveling. I bought it because it looked nice. I thought you would like to look at it. It looks like a landscape painting."
Lin Yining really couldn't let it go: "Yes, it's really beautiful."
Lin Chuanbai looked around: "Where are my granddaughters? Are they finished from school?"
Lin Yining: "They went to cram school and will be back later."
Nowadays it has become a normal thing for children to attend cram schools.
When she and Lin Yihong attended cram school before, many classmates did not attend cram school. But it is different now. As long as their family can afford it, they must go, and they also compare their children with other classmates. They are afraid that others will sign up for one more course while their children sign up for one less course and fall behind. They cannot let their children lose at the starting line.
Lin Yining also received requests from some acquaintances, wanting her to teach their children calligraphy, but she declined all of them, feeling that she was not yet qualified to teach disciples.
Yu Xiangan smiled.
This is a change in concept.
Many of the generation that made their fortunes with her did not have this awareness, and thought that it was enough to feed their children well, clothe them well and send them to school. They had money, but they did not insist that their children attend certain classes or do anything else. It was okay even if their children did not do well in school. But now, families with some money are paying more attention to their children’s studies, “which is a good thing.”
It’s a good thing, Lin Yining nodded.
Lin Duzhong came out with a smile: "Now that you are back, Yining is finally happy."
Yu Xiangan looked at her: "What's wrong, were you in a bad mood before?"
Lin Yining puffed her lips: "...Actually it's nothing, I just thought of my previous student." She sighed: "He went abroad to study. He was doing well, but now there's been no news for a while. Moreover, in his previous words, he was putting us down and praising others. He was also a person who was dazzled by the world. I felt bad. I wanted to recommend him to join the Calligraphy Association." Their country is also gradually developing.
As a teacher, Lin Yining felt heavy-hearted when he had such a student.
Yu Xiangan stroked her long hair soothingly, and Lin Yining leaned on her.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. You are a teacher, or a parent. You can't take care of your children forever once they grow up."
Lin Duzhong nodded in agreement, "There's nothing wrong with going out into the world. His mistake was stepping on his hometown. This is a character issue. You should be happy that he found out about the problem earlier. If you recommend him and something goes wrong in the future, you will also lose face."
really.
Lin Yining's heavy mood relaxed a little: "Okay, Mom, you guys are back. You must be tired on the way. Go to bed early."
Across the street outside the door, Gu Shi was still in deep thought.
