Michelle's sudden appearance not only surprised Yi Wei, but also surprised some people who recognized her. They first observed carefully and uncertainly, and then someone stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mrs. Miller?"
Michelle nodded slightly to the man, then looked at Yi Wei and said, "Let's go to your room."
"Okay." Yi Wei walked around behind his adoptive mother's wheelchair and said to Anna, "Let me do it."
Yi Wei pushed Michelle's wheelchair, ready to take them back to their room. Art couldn't come because he had work, so his assistant came with Michelle, followed by bodyguards.
People around began to speculate and talk about it.
"Although I haven't seen her for several years, her appearance hasn't changed much. It must be Mrs. Miller."
"But why is she in a wheelchair?"
"I heard that she and her husband had an accident a few years ago. Her husband died in the accident. She is in a wheelchair, probably because of the accident."
"So is this also the reason why she hasn't shown up in a few years?"
"Isn't Ivy, who just got the first place, the student recommended by Mrs. Miller? So it must be Mrs. Miller."
"Mrs. Miller is here. Should I go over and say hello?"
"I heard Mrs. Miller is here? Where is she? Where is she?!"
"Don't get excited. It may not be Mrs. Miller. Maybe someone has made a mistake."
Yi Wei was pushing his wheelchair, but before he even reached the check-in area, he was blocked by people who had heard the news and rushed over to watch. After knowing that Michelle Yim had arrived, the people from the association all rushed over to see if she had really come. After all, there had been no news of Michelle Yim for several years, and she suddenly appeared, and no one knew whether it was true or not.
"Mrs. Miller, it turns out you are here." The president of the association approached and said, "Why didn't you notify us in advance? We can welcome you."
"I came to watch the game, but I didn't expect that I would be recognized so quickly after disappearing for such a long time," said Michelle.
"Mrs. Miller's achievements are recorded in the history of psychology. How could they be forgotten just because she hasn't appeared for a few years?" The president said respectfully, "I have arranged a VIP room for you. Shall I take you there?"
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, President." Michelle said.
The president immediately asked the security guards to disperse the crowd, and then he personally led the way, taking Michelle and the others to the VIP accommodation area, with other members of the association following behind.
"It's really a Miller. I finally see Mrs. Miller in person!"
"It's just seeing your back, there's no need to get so excited, right?"
"That's the back of Mrs. Miller herself!"
"Mrs. Miller is here. Will she be a judge?"
"Mrs. Miller may not be willing to be a judge in a competition of this level."
After entering the room, looking at the spacious, bright, comfortable and luxurious living room, Yi Wei thought to himself that this living room really deserves the word VIP. The living room is as big as a conference room. Yi Wei turned his head to look at the other people who followed in, and felt that it really seemed like they were here for a meeting.
"President Andre." Michelle called.
"Mrs. Miller, please go ahead," Andre said.
"I'm not feeling well right now. I came here just to watch the game. I don't have any other plans or preparations. Please leave, everyone in your association. I need to rest." Michelle said with a smile.
"Okay." Andri turned to look at the others and said, "You all heard it, go and do your work."
Those in the association who wanted to ask some questions could only turn around and leave with regret.
After everyone else left, Andre said to Michelle, "Mrs. Miller, there is something I want to apologize to you for. When Ivy first came to our association, the competition area was changed. It was my son who did it. I didn't expect him to do such a thing. I have punished him and expelled him from the association and will not allow him to work in psychology in the future."
Yi Wei made some black tea and brought it to Michelle, thinking that this punishment was really severe. Since that man was Yi Xuan's senior brother, he must have made many years of hard work to engage in psychology work. Now he was not allowed to work in psychology, which meant that all his previous efforts were in vain.
"I've heard about this." Michelle picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "It was Jefferson's genius student, Allen Chien, who asked your son to do it, right?"
"Yes... yes." Andre said in a pleading tone: "Mrs. Miller, could you please tell Mr. Art for me not to pursue this matter any further?"
"I understand. I'll talk to him for you," Michelle said.
"Thank you very much." Andri bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and then said, "If you need anything, please let me know. I won't disturb your rest."
After Andri left, Yi Wei said to Michelle, "You are willing to destroy your son's future to protect Qi Ran's reputation. I don't understand why you are doing this."
"It's nothing strange. The most capable and prestigious person in this association is Jefferson, and among Jefferson's students, Qi Ran is the most talented. Andri's son is not very talented, and he can become Jefferson's student because of Andri's favor. If he doesn't work in psychology, he can do other jobs. Now people who study psychology have begun to enter various industries, such as advertising, sales, negotiation experts, etc." Michelle said: "Qi Ran has a reputation as a genius. Jefferson is training him very hard and wants him to surpass my students, so it is more important to protect Qi Ran's reputation."
"I see." Yi Wei understood this time, and then asked: "What if mom doesn't agree to his request?"
"Since I've come here in person, it's okay to do him a favor and save his face. Even if it's for your future, I won't completely break up with them over this matter. After all, this is their territory."
Yi Wei nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that my mother would come to watch my game. Why didn't she tell me in advance?"
"I'm here to put pressure on you." Michelle said, "For a competition like this, I have no concerns about your ability. I'm here in person, so you must win beautifully and not embarrass me. You will be under more pressure in the future, so you should start practicing how to perform normally and exceptionally under pressure now."
"I understand." Yi Wei nodded seriously.
The doorbell rang, and Anna walked to the door, then turned and said, "It's Jefferson."
"Let him in," said Michelle.
After Anna opened the door, she turned sideways and said, "Come in."
After Jefferson walked in, he squinted at Michelle and said, "It's really you. It's been a long time, Michelle Miller."
"Long time no see, Jefferson." Michelle smiled and said, "You always said that you would surpass me, but in the past few years when I was away, you didn't seem to have achieved anything that could surpass me. In my heart, I feel sorry for you."
"Don't worry, I will do it one day," Jefferson said.
“Yeah, there’s no rush. Life is but just a few short decades. When the day comes when you close your eyes and can never open them again, everything will be left for future generations to comment on. It will have nothing to do with people like us anymore.” What Michelle meant was that you should just hold on to this thought to comfort yourself, even until the day your life ends, and you use death to escape reality. Future generations will have their own judgments and comments.
"It's been many years since we last met, and you haven't changed at all." Jefferson looked at Yi Wei with a cold face, and then said to Michelle, "But it's no use for you to provoke me now. I have figured it out a long time ago. To prove that I am better than you, I don't have to rely on myself. I just need to make my students better than your students."
"Congratulations on finding a way to escape reality, but..." Michelle smiled and said, "How could I possibly let you do what you want?"
"Then we'll just have to wait and see!" Jefferson turned and left.
Michelle and Jefferson have been at odds since they were young because Michelle always pointed out Jefferson's mistakes, which made Jefferson feel offended, so he also started to find fault with Michelle, but in the end Michelle was proved to be right. Michelle is not targeting Jefferson. She will also point out other people's mistakes and welcome others to question her. She believes that if everyone communicates with each other, psychology can be further advanced, which will help more people and contribute to the entire society.
Most people are able to accept humbly when Michelle points out their mistakes. Even if they disagree, they are able to seek common ground while reserving differences and continue to use different ways to verify whether they are right or wrong. Jefferson, who already hated Michelle, became even more jealous as he saw her increasing success, so he began to target Michelle everywhere and used some despicable means to destroy Michelle's reputation.
At first, Michelle didn't care about him, but he became more and more excessive and touched Michelle's bottom line. Michelle could no longer bear it and started to fight back. After being severely punished by Michelle several times, Jefferson, who was almost ruined, finally behaved a little more honestly. But he did not give up the idea of dealing with Michelle. All the unconventional methods were useless. All he could do was to confront her head-on and prove that he was more capable than Michelle. However, he had not succeeded in all these years and could only place his hopes on the students he taught. But his students were not as good as Michelle's students, so some people said that he was inferior to Michelle in every way, and even his vision in selecting students was not as good as Michelle's. He could not swallow this humiliation.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Qi Ran asked after entering the room.
Jefferson turned around, looked at Qi Ran seriously and said, "You should know how important tomorrow's final is to you."
Qi Ran also answered seriously: "I know."
"As long as you can win this time, it will be three consecutive wins. Three consecutive wins are very important. It will allow you to join the association before the age of 30. More importantly..." Jefferson looked at Qi Ran and said, "He is Michelle's student. If you lose to him now, it will be even more difficult to beat him in the future. As long as you can prevent him from surpassing you in the next few years, it will prove that your talent is better than his."
Qi Ran was stunned for a moment. He knew his teacher's obsession with defeating Michelle. Although he lost to Yi Wei by ten points in today's competition, tomorrow's competition would be what he was best at.
"I will never let the teacher down." Qi Ran said with a firm look in his eyes.
