The next day, Huo Nanquan was full of hope, thinking that he would definitely be able to save his life.
However, on the bulletin board, I saw a statement written by Shigure.
[I am Shi Yu. I was deceived by Huo Nanquan into a relationship with him, completely unaware that he was married. Huo Nanquan's behavior is outrageous, and I am now voluntarily severing ties with him. This is a formal statement.]
Upon seeing the statement, Huo Nanquan collapsed to the ground.
"this……"
Shi Yu actually betrayed him, completely shifting the blame onto him. Poor him, he was just waiting for Shi Yu to plead with his father. Instead, he was betrayed.
Now he's a villain for all time. The school will probably punish him severely.
Sure enough, below Shi Yu's statement was the school's disciplinary decision regarding Huo Nanquan:
[An investigation has revealed that Huo Nanquan, a student at our university, has committed morally reprehensible acts, deceiving university students into romantic relationships while already married. This has severely damaged the image of our university. Therefore, it has been decided to expel him from the university. This statement is hereby issued.]
When Huo Nanquan saw this, he felt his vision go black and his world collapse.
It's over, he's finished, he's completely finished...
In an effort to salvage the school's reputation, Lancheng University published the statement announcing Huo Nanquan's expulsion in the Lancheng Daily.
Wang Xiaofang didn't actually leave; she stayed in Lancheng, waiting.
That day, she saw a newspaper stand in the guesthouse and bought a copy.
The moment she saw the newspaper, she finally felt relieved.
Great. Huo Nanquan has finally been punished... the retribution she's been waiting for has finally arrived.
Wang Xiaofang was convinced that Huo Nanquan would definitely take the train back to his hometown of Nancheng after being expelled.
So she has to go back to Nancheng too...
Huo Nanquan boarded the train back to Nancheng in a disheveled state.
His mood fluctuated constantly throughout the journey.
When he arrived at his destination and passed through several alleys, several women pointed and whispered about him.
"See that? It's him. He still has the nerve to come back."
"Exactly. They're so shameless."
Huo Nanquan felt a pang of unease, wondering if the neighbors already knew.
When I got home, I found out that my grandmother was sick.
"Grandma suddenly got sick. She was fine when I left."
Huo Nanquan knelt before his grandmother's window. Huo Chunmei said angrily, "Second brother, it's all because of you. It's because of you that Grandma fainted from anger. What are you doing back here now?"
Li Yun also stepped forward. Although she also felt resentful, he was, after all, her son. "Nan Quan, didn't I tell you not to come back? Why did you come back?"
Huo Nanquan lowered his head, looking completely dejected. "Mom, the school found out about what happened to me, and I've been expelled..."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yun nearly collapsed to her feet and burst into tears. "Son, you're the only college graduate in our family. How could you be expelled so easily?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhengang felt a tightness in his chest and excruciating pain throughout his body. "You unfilial son!"
After saying that, everything went black and he almost lost his balance.
Startled, Huo Nanquan quickly stepped forward and helped him up. "Dad, are you alright?"
Huo Zhengang slapped him across the face. "You unfilial son, serves you right for disobeying me. Now you've lost everything, haven't you? And that vixen has left you too, hasn't she?"
Huo Nanquan nodded. "Yes. We broke up. Dad, you're right, she's a vixen. She took advantage of me because I'm a college student, and now that I have nothing left, she immediately dumped me."
"It's always best to be with your original spouse. Go find Xiaofang and beg for forgiveness. Try to live a good life with her."
Hearing this, Huo Nanquan sneered, "Dad, it was Wang Xiaofang who got me expelled. She caused a scene at the school. She ruined my future!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhengang slapped him across the face. "Did someone else ruin you? You brought this upon yourself. If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place. Don't you understand yet that it's your fault?"
"I..." The slap immediately brought Huo Nanquan to his senses.
Yes, he was the one who did wrong.
If Wang Xiaofang let him off the hook, it only shows her kindness. What he did would be discovered sooner or later. The person who caused his own expulsion was actually himself.
Huo Zhengang never expected things to develop to this point.
A few days ago, he was busy dealing with his mother's affairs and didn't notice that Wang Xiaofang was not at home.
So he went to Lancheng... He had originally hoped that Huo Nanquan and Wang Xiaofang could get back together and start over, but now it seems impossible.
What a terrible thing to do.
Huo Zhengang sighed, "People always have to pay the price for their actions. This is all your own doing, you can't blame anyone else."
Huo Nanquan returned to his and Wang Xiaofang's bedroom, but no one was there.
The clothes in the wardrobe, especially the women's clothes, were mostly taken away.
It seems that Wang Xiaofang has already moved away.
On the bedside table was a knitted sweater, not yet finished, clearly a men's sweater.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the sweater, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
It seems this is a sweater that Xiaofang knitted for him before.
But what did he do...?
On countless nights he knitted, he was making love with Shiyu in a foreign land...
Thinking of this, Huo Nanquan felt very guilty...
He destroyed his own family, his own children, and his own future...
Gancheng, military family compound.
That afternoon after school, Teacher Yang found Song Ning again.
"Song Ning, I'm sorry, but our school is currently short-staffed as an art teacher. Could you please teach a few classes for the children?"
Song Ning looked up. "Isn't Teacher Shi Yu giving a substitute lesson over there?"
"Teacher Shiyu was originally an intern, but she recently encountered some problems and resigned."
"What's wrong?" Song Ning asked curiously.
"We don't know the specifics, but it's probably something to do with relationships."
"Okay, when should I go?"
"Next Monday."
Song Ning agreed. Although she was pregnant, it didn't mean she couldn't be active. She was still early in the pregnancy.
After all, the last time she went there was just to give a lecture, while substituting for a class means personally interacting with the children face-to-face, which is more effective and something she is looking forward to.
It was the weekend, and Li Xiaoyue was planning to take her child to Lanzhou, the provincial capital, for some fun.
Huo Beian was unable to accompany Song Ning because he had to go on a mission.
Song Ning was thinking that if she went to teach next Monday, she wanted to bring the children some gifts and buy some formal clothes for them to wear to class.
It only takes two hours by train from Gancheng to Lancheng.
The bumpy ride made Song Ning feel nauseous, but thankfully she managed to stay upright.
She thought to herself that she would buy a car and drive it herself if she had the chance. But in those days, it was a planned economy, and private ownership of cars was not allowed.
Traveling is now only possible by train, so we'll just have to wait a bit longer.
As soon as I got off the train, I saw a large crowd gathered at the newsstand at the station entrance, selling newspapers.
Seeing this, Song Ning also went over to join them. After all, in those days, information was not readily available, and there was no television; people mainly obtained information by reading newspapers and listening to the radio.
