In the evening, everyone couldn't wait to go to the bulletin board to check the results.
Yu Zihan saw his name at a glance, and it was ranked first.
She quickly glanced through the list and found that Jiang Ying and two other classmates were not on the list for the rematch.
"Zi Han, you are actually the first in the preliminaries. You are so awesome." Teacher Hou checked the list again and again and confirmed that only Yu Zi Han was selected, and with a high score. She hugged Yu Zi Han with great excitement.
The other students in the same group did not enter the semi-finals. Although they were disappointed, they also congratulated Zi Han. They said that being able to participate in such a competition has allowed them to see the world and learn a lot.
After looking at the list, everyone went back to the guesthouse together.
Pei Xiao paced back and forth at the entrance to the guesthouse. Sharp-eyed Jiang Ying noticed Pei Xiao and said to Zi Han, "Look, that chief judge, Mr. Pei, is standing at the entrance. He's been staring at you."
When they heard her words, they all looked at Pei Xiao. He was pacing back and forth with his head lowered, occasionally looking up at Yu Zihan. It was obvious that he was very uneasy.
When they were almost in front of him, Yu Zihan said to Teacher Hou, "Maybe he has something to talk to me about. I'll ask for leave."
"Okay, you have to be careful. Call me if anything happens." Teacher Hou was worried about her safety, after all, she was still a child.
Pei Xiao heard what Teacher Hou said and understood her position. He said to her solemnly, "Hello, Teacher Hou. I'm Pei Xiao, the principal of the Foreign Languages College of Imperial Capital University. I have something to ask this child. I guarantee her safety with my reputation and integrity."
When Teacher Hou heard that Pei Xiao was actually the president of the Foreign Languages College of Imperial Capital University, she no longer had any concerns. She looked up at Pei Xiao and said, "With President Pei's words, I'm at ease, I'm at ease."
Then she pulled Yu Zihan aside and said patiently, "Behave well in front of Principal Pei." Yu Zihan knew the teacher's good intentions and she was very grateful.
But in front of him, Yu Zihan really needs to perform well and show the deep love between father and daughter.
Watching them go upstairs, Yu Zihan stood there quietly. She acted like a real little girl, uneasy and innocent.
"Child, don't worry about anything. I want to talk to you. How about coming to my office?" He said to Zi Han in a gentle tone.
Yu Zihan nodded and motioned for him to lead the way.
He glanced at Yu Zihan and walked ahead.
Yu Zihan looked at the tall man in front of her, and she felt a mixture of emotions. This outstanding man turned out to be her father.
She had never experienced love from her father in her two lifetimes, and she longed for it in her heart.
Many people greeted him along the way, and he responded with a smile. Yu Zihan inexplicably felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Soon they arrived in front of an office building. Pei Xiao opened an office and Yu Zihan saw a sign above that read "Principal's Office."
Entering the room, Pei Xiao said to Zi Han, "Please sit down." He pointed to the sofa and poured her a glass of water. He rubbed his hands and said, "I've been busy with the competition evaluation this afternoon and haven't had time to talk to you."
Yu Zihan looked up at him. He was indeed very stylish, a kind of elegant handsome. Although time had left its mark on his face, it hadn't diminished his handsomeness, but rather added a touch of melancholy. This man was very charming. Yu Zihan gave him a 90 on appearance. As for the rest, time would tell.
"I never thought my father would be like you. I have imagined what he would look like countless times in my mind. Unfortunately, the appearance of that scumbag appeared before my eyes.
He ignored my mother and me, and used our identities to threaten her and extort money from her. He allowed her family to beat and scold my mother and bully me.
When Yu Zihan told these things, she couldn't help feeling aggrieved.
Her tears fell one by one!!!
"Do you know? My mother was framed and lost her memory for many years. She doesn't remember whose child I am. She was taken advantage of and married to that scumbag, but she didn't want him to touch her until her death. I think what she was subconsciously protecting was not her own dignity, but yours.
In that environment, she didn't care about anything else, but she cared about me. Where were you at that time? What did you do? "
Yu Zihan's voice couldn't help but get louder and louder. It was an accusation, a complaint, and even more of a plea for justice for her mother.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, I didn't know." Pei Xiao felt a pang of pain in his heart as he watched the little person looking up at him stubbornly. He didn't want to do that either.
"Originally, your mother and I had agreed to go to the countryside in Northeast China. We had already made the appointment. The day I said goodbye to your mother, I returned home and was forced to go to the Northwest with my family.
Anything could happen back then; everything was incredibly crazy. We moved to the Northwest, where even surviving was a luxury, let alone doing anything else. I didn't have a chance to find out about your mother.
When our family returned to the capital, I asked your grandmother's family about your mother, and they said they had lost contact with her for many years.
They said that your mother gave up going down with the Yu family because she was afraid of hardship, and she ran away on her own.
It is very likely that she did not survive those years alone, and may have passed away long ago.
I don't believe what the Yu family said. I know Meijuan and she is not that kind of person.
I asked around, even to the place we were supposed to meet, but no one knew where your mother was."
He chattered on and on about what had happened over the years, his thoughts and efforts.
