"Gu Yao?" Lin Zhehan shook his head: "Old Liao, you were personally mentored by Teacher Shao. Although Teacher Shao has always favored Gu Yao, this matter not only concerns you, but also Teacher Shao's reputation. Tell me, what did Teacher Shao tell you to do?"
Liao Nanxing quickly told Lin Zhehan everything that had happened that day.
It's worth noting that Lin Zhehan was known as "Little Zhuge Liang" back in school.
That is why he has the ability to compete with Gu Yao.
"Teacher Shao's arrangement was indeed the method that minimized the losses for you and the school. Moreover, judging from the school's first announcement, Teacher Shao also fulfilled his promise to you. Therefore, something must have happened after the school's announcement that changed the outcome of this matter."
"You mean..." Liao Nanxing stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Before Liao Nanxing could finish speaking, Lin Zhehan nodded.
Hand the signed document to Uncle Hat.
"Alright, I've signed everything that needs to be signed. I have to go to work soon, so I'll head straight to the law firm. I won't see you and the old lady off."
Lin Zhehan stopped at the door, carrying his briefcase.
He glanced at Liao Nanxing, took a deep breath, and finally spoke: "Old Liao! The outcome of this matter may not be satisfactory, but it's not hard to see that Teacher Shao has put in a lot of effort for you."
When you have time, you should visit him more often. We all know that you've harbored many grievances against Teacher Shao over the years because of Gu Yao.
But I want to remind you, without Teacher Shao, do you really think you could have achieved the same success you had back then, given your abilities? Well, that's all I have to say. Take care of yourself, my friend.
In fact, Liao Nanxing didn't have any extraordinary talent in academics. All he had, besides his indomitable stubbornness, was the vast amount of time he devoted to his work.
However, it was precisely this spirit of sacrificing one's family for work that moved Teacher Shao, who then made an exception and accepted him as a student.
But now it seems that Liao Nanxing not only lacks academic talent, but her emotional intelligence is also questionable. No wonder she couldn't beat Gu Yao even with Shao Jiefu as her backer.
If it weren't for Liao Nanxing helping him complete his studies back then, he wouldn't have needed to stand against Gu Yao at all.
Sigh! Look at Gu Yao and Liao Nanxing, one is blessed with natural intelligence, and the other is incredibly lucky with the help of benefactors. In contrast, I am neither as talented as Gu Yao nor as lucky as Liao Nanxing. It's truly infuriating to compare myself to others.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhehan sighed deeply and left.
Liao Nanxing was left sitting there alone, not leaving for a long time.
It was only after Xu Xiuzhen came looking for him that Liao Nanxing came to his senses.
As he left, Uncle Hat reminded him not to abandon Su Mu at the hospital. If Su Mu woke up and wanted to sue him, they would come looking for him again.
Liao Nanxing took his words to heart and told Xu Xiuzhen to go home first. He hailed a taxi, saying he had other things to do.
Xu Xiuzhen thought Liao Nanxing was going to find Su Mu, so she blocked him from getting on the car, and made noises to express her dissatisfaction with Su Mu.
Liao Nanxing didn't dare to push her hard, so he patiently explained, "Mom! You have no idea what my situation is like right now! I really have something to do. You go home first, and I'll explain to you when I get back."
After saying that, he put the old lady in the car, then scanned a hundred yuan and gave it to the taxi driver, asking him to take her to Yunxijian.
Xu Xiuzhen wanted to get out of the car to argue with Liao Nanxing, but how could the taxi driver let the 100 yuan slip away?
I immediately pressed the child lock and almost stepped on the gas pedal.
Afterwards, Liao Nanxing took a taxi directly to No. 397 Xueshi Road.
On the way, he also ordered flowers and fruit baskets.
He knew that Shao Jiefu liked tea, but he himself didn't like tea, so he didn't have the habit of collecting tea.
Furthermore, he spent all his money on trending topics, leaving him with very little. He couldn't even afford to buy tea that Shao Jiefu would approve of.
That's why I chose economical yet presentable flowers and fruit baskets.
Not long after I got off the bus, the delivery guy brought the food to me.
Holding flowers and carrying a fruit basket, she rang the doorbell.
The door opened quickly.
"Madam, these are flowers for you. Is the teacher home?"
Xu Lanxin was taken aback at first, but after regaining her senses, she glanced at the fragrant lilies in her arms and smiled, "Come in."
When Liao Nanxing entered the room, Xu Lanxin did not lead him directly to the study, but instead led him to the living room.
"Old Shao is taking a nap. Wait here for a bit, I'll go check if he's awake yet."
"Thank you, Madam." Liao Nanxing stood up respectfully.
Xu Lanxin went upstairs to the second floor, not to the bedroom, but to the study.
Because Shao Jiefu doesn't have the habit of taking a midday nap, at this time, he's either writing or fiddling with the asparagus ferns in his study.
The reason she didn't bring Liao Nanxing directly was because she wasn't sure if Shao Jiefu still wanted to see Liao Nanxing.
He knocked on the door before pushing it open and entering. Shao Jiefu was writing.
"Old Shao, Little Liao is here. Do you want to see him?"
Shao Jiefu snorted coldly, picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and continued writing with a cold face.
Xu Lanxin immediately understood, turned around and left, closing the door behind her.
Upon entering the living room, she smiled gently as always.
"Xiao Liao, I'm so sorry. He had some insomnia a few days ago, and the doctor prescribed him sleeping pills. He just took the pills and fell asleep, but I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while. Why don't you come again next time?"
Liao Nanxing looked flustered, his hands gripping the hem of his clothes clenched into fists.
With a thud, he knelt down on the ground.
“Teacher’s wife, I know that I have caused you trouble because of what happened to me. I am here today to admit my mistake. You have worried about me for so many years, but I have not been grateful.”
These past few days, I've been reflecting on it carefully, and I realize I was like a child who hadn't been weaned, not understanding the teacher's predicament, and even throwing a tantrum and arguing with the teacher. I really am..."
As he spoke, Liao Nanxing slapped himself across the face: "I really don't know what's good for me!"
"Xiao Liao, don't be like this, get up, get up and talk."
"No! Madam, if the teacher doesn't want to see me, then I'll kowtow to him here and admit my mistake." After saying that, Liao Nanxing started banging his head on the ground repeatedly.
Xu Lanxin said she didn't want to do that, but she didn't actually go forward to help her up.
Of all of Shao Jiefu's prized students, Liao Nanxing was the one she looked down on the most.
Lacking both intelligence and emotional intelligence, she's even trying to cheat on her husband like other young people these days!
Moreover, why was Liao Nanxing able to dedicate so much time to work and research back then?
It's all because his wife, Zhou Chunhua, single-handedly shouldered the burden of the entire family.
And what was the result?
When things were tough, Xiao Zhou felt sorry for him; when things got better, he kicked Xiao Zhou aside and made his mistress his official wife!
What she hates most is a man who can't even control his own weight!
