Chapter 186 Teacher "...she might want to kidnap you...
After the family listened to the nursery rhyme several times, Zhao Yunsheng turned off the tape recorder and said, "Let's just listen to it at home for fun. Don't let anyone else hear it for now."
"Put the tape away," Chen Xiuqin said. "We won't come up and touch it."
Zhao Yunsheng took the tape out of the tape recorder, put it in a locked drawer, and locked the drawer.
Director He’s movie won’t be released until next year, so this song will also have to wait until next year. Before that, we still have to keep it confidential.
A few days after Zhao Yunsheng sent his two children back, he went out again. This time he went to the provincial capital to attend a symposium of the Writers Association and discuss many matters related to publishing a collection of short stories with the editor.
The day after Zhao Yunsheng left, Wang Ying came home from get off work and saw her mother coming over.
When Wang Ying saw Li Fengju's expression, he knew that she had something to say to him, so he called her upstairs.
"What happened? Why does Mom look so troubled?" Wang Ying said.
Li Fengju sighed and said, "I've been in a dilemma for several days. I think I'll tell you. When Yunsheng was filming in Beijing, he was spotted by an actress."
Wang Ying was visibly taken aback: "A female actress has taken a fancy to you?"
Li Fengju quickly said, "He immediately refused, saying he already had a lover and children, and that he and his lover had a very good relationship."
"And then?" Wang Ying asked again, "Were you there?"
"I wasn't there, and I only heard it from the staff," Li Fengju said. "And then, there was nothing else. Yunsheng was still very self-controlled. He kept his distance from the actresses on the set and didn't say a word. But if he was away all year round, I'm afraid he might be careless... Anyway, you have to be aware of it and still persuade him if necessary," said Li Fengju.
"As for this matter, I haven't heard him talk about it." Wang Ying nodded slowly twice.
"I didn't want to tell you at first, for fear of causing you to misunderstand..." Li Fengju didn't want to say it, mainly because she was afraid that if things went wrong, her daughter and son-in-law would have a quarrel, and she would be the bad guy. But she was also worried that if Zhao Yunsheng really did something stupid outside one day, and Wang Ying was not vigilant at all, then she, as a mother, would be derelict in her duty.
"I understand. I'll keep an eye on it." Wang Ying thought that Zhao Yunsheng was good-looking, talented, a great writer, and now a screenwriter. It was normal for him to be favored by others, but being favored by others was one thing, but if he dared to have any second thoughts, then he would be finished!
Li Fengju was still a little worried and said, "Don't make a scene with him. He hasn't done anything right now. If you really want to bring it up, don't be too pushy. Be more tactful..."
"Don't worry, Mom. I won't make a fuss." Wang Ying said. "Don't worry too much either. It's not a big deal."
"As long as you know it, it's fine." Li Fengju said.
"Well, I know. I won't let him know that you told me this." Wang Ying knew what Li Fengju was worried about.
A few days later, Zhao Yunsheng returned from the provincial capital. Wang Ying did not ask him about the actress in Beijing, as if she had never heard her mother talk about it.
Wang Ying observed Zhao Yunsheng closely for a few days, and found him no different than before. He probably had his own reasons for not mentioning the Beijing actress, or perhaps he simply didn't take it seriously. Wang Ying didn't dwell on the matter too much. With so much work to do at the factory and two children to take care of after returning home, she didn't have the time to dwell on it.
Anyway, if Zhao Yunsheng really cheated, there would be only two words: divorce.
In September, Huanhuan started school, and Yueyue also started kindergarten. This year, Huanhuan's primary school opened a kindergarten, so Yueyue could go to the same school as Huanhuan. This made Yueyue, who originally didn't want to go to kindergarten, more eager to go.
On the first day of school, Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng took them there together. They first went to register Huanhuan, and then went to enroll Yueyue in kindergarten.
After Yueyue entered the kindergarten, she played with the other children. Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng watched her at the door for a while and then left.
Wang Ying sighed: "Time flies by so fast."
Zhao Yunsheng looked at Wang Ying's profile and smiled, "We've been married for almost eight years."
"Eight years..." Wang Ying murmured. It had been eight years since she was reborn. The things of her previous life were really far away from her.
"Wang Ying!"
Suddenly someone called her from behind. Wang Ying turned around and saw it was Zhang Xiumin.
"Are you going to send your child to school?" Zhang Xiumin caught up and asked.
"Yeah." Wang Ying responded. She wanted to ask Zhang Xiumin if she knew about Wang Hui's situation, so she started chatting with her. "What about you? Aren't you in the capital? Why are you back?"
"I graduated from university and was assigned here to be a teacher," said Zhang Xiumin.
Wang Ying remembered that Zhang Xiumin was studying at a teachers' college, but the last time she saw her, she sounded like she wanted to stay in the capital. She didn't expect that she would return to Beichong to teach.
"It's good to be a teacher," said Wang Ying.
"That's it." Zhang Xiumin looked a little embarrassed and asked, "What happened to Wang Hui? I heard she's been missing for over a year, and the child is at your house?"
"I thought she would go to the capital to look for you, and I was just about to ask if you had any news about her."
"No, before she ran away from home, she didn't even reply to my letters. After I came back, I went to her house and wanted to ask her husband, but I didn't expect him to find someone else. Wang Hui must have been forced away by him. Didn't you ask for an explanation for her?" Zhang Xiumin said anxiously.
"We don't even know where she is right now, so what's the point of asking for an explanation?" Wang Ying said, "You also know what the Du family said about her."
"They must be framing her and saying that on purpose! Wang Hui would never run away with anyone! Don't you believe her?" Zhang Xiumin was anxious.
"That's not what I meant. Our family reported the case to the police several times, but we can't find her now and we have no way to seek justice for her," said Wang Ying.
"They even reported it to the police..." Zhang Xiumin murmured.
"If a living person suddenly disappears, of course we should report it to the police," Wang Ying sighed.
Zhang Xiumin looked sad. She pursed her lips and said, "If you have any news about her, please tell me."
"Okay." Wang Ying responded, "If she contacts you, please let us know."
"Okay." Zhang Xiumin nodded.
"Teacher Zhang!" Someone called Zhang Xiumin. Zhang Xiumin nodded at them and ran towards the classroom.
Zhao Yunsheng said: "Wang Hui has made a good friend who values friendship and loyalty."
Wang Ying was a little worried. Zhang Xiumin and Wang Hui were too close, and they had been very hostile to her before. Now that both children were in this school, she felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Let's go find Huanhuan and Yueyue's teacher." Wang Ying said.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yunsheng asked.
"Zhang Xiumin was very hostile to me before. Now both of my children are in this school, and I feel a little worried. Just think that I am worrying too much," said Wang Ying.
Zhao Yunsheng immediately became serious: "When it comes to children, we can never be too cautious."
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng came to the door of Huanhuan's classroom again. It was the first day of school, and before the class officially started, the teacher saw Wang Ying and the others and came out to greet them.
"Are you looking for me or Du Yuhuan?" The female teacher smiled and spoke politely.
"We'll look for you first," Wang Ying said. "You're aware of Du Yuhuan's situation. I'd like to ask you to take care of her, especially with her mood."
"Don't worry, these are all flowers of the motherland. We will pay attention to the situation of each child." The young female teacher said seriously.
"Also, I would like to ask the teacher not to let unnecessary people contact her in school," said Wang Ying.
The teacher was stunned at first, then thought she might be talking about someone from Du Yuhuan's father's side. She had no right to interfere in a student's family affairs, but she still said, "Don't worry, we will ensure the safety of the students at school."
"Thank you, teacher." Wang Ying nodded to the teacher, "Then please call Du Yuhuan out."
The teacher went in and called Huanhuan out.
Huanhuan had been looking at Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng outside the classroom. When the teacher called her, she ran out immediately.
"Aunt, uncle."
Wang Ying straightened Huanhuan's bangs and said, "There's a teacher named Zhang in your school. She's a classmate of your aunt and your mother. If she comes to talk to you, you must tell me when you get home, okay?"
Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Huanhuan's teacher was surprised to hear this. They wanted her to be on guard against Teacher Zhang? Why? As a new teacher, she didn't understand any of this!
Wang Ying actually said this on purpose for the teacher to hear. Huanhuan could tell her when she got home. She glanced at the female teacher at this moment.
"Go back to the classroom. Grandma will come to pick you and Yueyue up after school." Wang Ying said.
Huanhuan went back to the classroom obediently.
Wang Ying then said to the teacher, "Teacher Liu, thank you for your help."
"I understand. Don't worry. Generally, teachers from other grades will not come to look for students." Teacher Liu said.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "We have no choice. The child is still young."
Teacher Liu was confused and could only nod.
"Thank you, Teacher Liu. We won't delay your class." Wang Ying waved to Huanhuan in the classroom and left with Zhao Yunsheng.
The two went to the bicycle shed to pick up their bikes, and Zhao Yunsheng asked, "Do you want to transfer the children to another school?"
"Let's wait and see," Wang Ying said. "She's a teacher now, so she probably won't do anything drastic."
"I'll see if there are any leaders I know in the school and ask them to help keep an eye on it," said Zhao Yunsheng.
The two men took bicycles, one for each. Zhao Yunsheng went home and Wang Ying returned to the factory.
That day, when Wang Ying got home from get off work, the two children had already finished school and Li Fengju had also arrived.
"Auntie, auntie, Teacher Zhang really came to talk to me!" Huanhuan ran over and told Wang Ying as soon as she saw her coming back.
"What did you say?" Wang Ying asked as he parked the car.
"She asked me if I was doing well here, if I missed my mother, and if she left any message for me before she left. She also said she was my mother's best friend and would definitely help me find her," said Huanhuan.
Li Fengju also came over and said angrily, "I think this teacher has bad intentions! I'll go to the school to find the principal and tell her not to get close to Huanhuan! Huanhuan, don't trust her. She might want to kidnap you!"
"Grandma, you've said it several times, I remember it! I won't be fooled by her. Even if she says she will take me to see my mother, I won't go." Huanhuan said.
"Be good!" Wang Ying touched Huanhuan's head. "Yes, you can't go."
Huanhuan had already made up her mind and would never go looking for her mother. Even if her mother came back on her own initiative in the future, she would not forgive her easily.
The next morning, Li Fengju went to Wang Ying's house to take the two children to school with Chen Xiuqin. She also went to see the principal and asked him to warn Zhang Xiumin not to get close to Huanhuan again. Wang Ying didn't stop her. It would have been better if her mother had intervened at this time.
Li Fengju was afraid that Wang Hui and Zhang Xiumin would collude to take Huanhuan away. What good could there be in following a mother like Wang Hui?
When Zhang Xiumin was called in for a talk by the principal, she felt angry and aggrieved. What was wrong with Wang Ying? She had only exchanged a few words with Huanhuan. It was no wonder she had always disliked Wang Ying; she was simply annoying.
Zhang Xiumin was furious, but she didn't dare go looking for Huanhuan again. Even if she cared about Wang Hui's daughter, she wouldn't lose her job because of her.
After that, Huanhuan and Yueyue were safe and sound at school, and Zhang Xiumin never looked for Huanhuan again.
After National Day, Zhao Yunsheng returned to Beijing, alone, as Director Wu's crew needed him. He was gone for over three months, returning with Gu Xuan just before the Lunar New Year. Director Wu's film was nearly finished, while Gu Xuan was about to film Zhao Yunsheng's original novel, "Rebirth," on Beichong Old Street.
When Zhao Yunsheng returned, the Panda Biscuit Factory was bustling with activity. This year was the first year the biscuit factory had implemented a contracting system. Under the leadership of Wang Ying, the factory had exceeded its targets and achieved a profit. Wang Ying promised to give every employee a New Year's red envelope, even the newest employees received ten yuan!
