Fu Jingsheng attended a week of relationship classes and prepared to try the methods taught by the teacher again.
Previously, he would always bring a huge bouquet of flowers whenever he came, which was ostentatious and eye-catching.
As a result, the cleaning ladies in the community complained that a single bouquet of flowers filled the trash cans, increasing their workload.
But today, the man seems to be empty-handed.
Rong Yan leaned against the gate frame of the courtyard: "Mr. Fu, are you out of school?"
Fu Jingsheng: That's not right.
A relationship coach said that the first step in pursuing a wife is to pursue her relentlessly, then ignore her for a few days, and then reappear. At this point, the woman will be happy to see him and let him in, asking him where he has been all day.
"What's the point of going to school?" Fu Jingsheng was being led by the nose by Rong Yan; the things he was learning were completely useless.
"Didn't you go to school on weekends? I don't know if you're studying for an MBA or MPA? If you're going to school, then study properly. Why are you always running around here?"
Lao Wang? He hasn't come for a week. Doesn't Rong Yan feel uncomfortable?
"I took..." Fu Jingsheng swallowed the words back before he could finish, thinking it would be too embarrassing to tell Rong Yan that he had taken an emotional education class.
“Yes, an MBA. I will study hard,” the man said.
"That's good. Go back and read your book. I won't see you out." Rong Yan gestured for Fu Jingsheng to leave.
When Fu Yunlei saw his father arrive, he prepared to give him a helping hand.
"Dad!" the boy ran up to him.
“Xiao Lei, your father has to go to school, we can’t keep him from going,” Rong Yan said.
"Okay, Dad, good luck." Fu Yunlei hugged Fu Jingsheng. "Let's go."
Fu Jingsheng's resentment deepened. He was going to school to find the relationship counselor, but none of the lessons he learned were of any use. It was a shame he had asked for extra lessons.
A seven-year-old son stays home and doesn't go to school, while his father, who is in his thirties, goes to school—this is completely out of line.

Before Christmas.
Rong Yan went on another business trip. She wasn't interested in foreign holidays, but the children hoped their mother could come back on Christmas Eve.
Fu Yunlei said that they just wanted to spend the holiday with their mother, regardless of which country's holiday it was.
In Country K, Rong Yan sat next to her adoptive mother, showing her the child via video call.
The two little boys obediently called out to their grandmother, asking when she would come over.
My adoptive mother, Xu Nan, is not in good health and is currently receiving treatment in Country K. She has to go to the hospital every week.
Xu Nan said she would go to Tiancheng after she recovered from her illness.
The video call lasted for twenty minutes before it ended.
Rong Yan had seen her adoptive mother's medical record the day before; she recognized the letters CA.
Xu Nan was diagnosed with cancer five years ago. She had been taking good care of herself in recent years, but a global virus outbreak worsened her condition.
Two months ago, the cancer cells spread, but he kept it a secret from Rong Yan.
If Rong Yan hadn't gone on a business trip this time, wanting to surprise her adoptive mother by sneaking over, and her adoptive mother hadn't had time to hide the medical records, Rong Yan wouldn't have known that she didn't have much time left.
The woman had cried for a long time while lying on Xu Nan's lap the night before.
She blamed herself for being careless, for going to Tiancheng and not discovering her adoptive mother's illness in time, and she also blamed her adoptive mother for keeping it from her.
Xu Nan cried along with her.
Like Rong Yan, she had a hard life. When she was young, she was betrayed by her husband and came to K country alone. She worked several jobs from dawn to dusk and finally gained a foothold.
Later, she met Rongyan, who was Rongyan's landlady. The two got along very well, and she proposed to recognize Rongyan as her goddaughter, but Rongyan preferred to call her "Mom" directly, "Mom from K country".
She said Rongyan had already suffered too much, and she didn't want to add any more burden to her.
But Rongyan hugged her and told her that family members are bound to be a burden to each other.
K country has a tradition of celebrating Christmas, and Rongyan wanted to stay and keep Xu Nan company.
She has a long future ahead of her children, but her adoptive mother is different.
Xu Nan stroked Rong Yan's hair after hanging up the video call.
After leaving Tiancheng, Rong Yan only acted like a child in front of Xu Nan.
"Your best days are yet to come," Xu Nan comforted Rong Yan.
“Your children are so sensible. Now you not only have two daughters, but also two sons. I will feel at ease knowing that they will be there for you after I am gone.”
Rong Yan cried and stopped her adoptive mother from continuing; she didn't want her mother to be gone.

Tianyi Mansion.
Fu Yunting was very observant.
After hanging up the video call, he asked his brother to translate for his grandmother: "Mom and Grandma cried; their eyes were red."
Fu Yunting took a screenshot and showed it to his grandmother.
That's true.
Did she cry?
Wait until my older sister comes home from school.
Fu Yunlei told his sister about how his mother and grandmother had cried.
Rong Shiyu and Rong Shimo guessed the reason.
In the end, everyone suspected that the old lady might be sick again.
They told Han Yue that the old lady was in poor health and frequently went to the hospital.
Is it serious?
So Rongyan said she might not make it in time for Christmas.
She remembered that Christmas was very important in K country, so was Rong Yan going to accompany Xu Nan?
Han Yue made a phone call to Fu Jingsheng.
There are only two days left until Christmas Eve.
Evening, Tianyi Mansion.
Han Yue, with tears streaming down her face, pounded on Fu Jingsheng's chest.
I never imagined that Rong Yan had such a hard time in K Country.
After listening to his daughters' account, Fu Jingsheng was speechless.
He clearly gave her a lot of money.
Rong Yan has money, but it's not her own. She's always been determined to return all that money to Fu Jingsheng one day.
She herself suffers from claustrophobia and depression.
Xu Nan was diagnosed with a malignant tumor five years ago.
Rong Yan has to juggle her career with taking care of her child and adoptive mother.
Rong Shiyu wiped away her grandmother's tears: "Grandma, don't cry. Mom said that as long as you don't feel bitter in your heart, life will be sweet."
Upon hearing this, Han Yue cried even harder.
