Chapter 98 The ex-husband is very dissatisfied with his ex-wife
“You don’t need to call Xiang Jingheng. I really don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.”
Yu Yan said calmly, "It is indeed a big deal for children to go to school. If Xiang Chu wants to attend the affiliated primary school, you can use my connections."
"That's great!"
Mei Nan said happily, "Thank you, Yu Yan."
"Thank me?"
Yu Yan looked at Mei Nan and said, "It's strange that you're thanking me for this. Mei Nan, you're using these things to make a deal with me just so Xiang Chu can get into the affiliated primary school?"
Mei Nan met Yu Yan's dark eyes and secretly clenched her hands.
She knew that Yu Yan was smart and had an exceptionally high IQ, unlike Gan Xiaoxing, who was full of cunning but not very bright.
When talking to Yu Yan, she can be indirect, but she wouldn't dare to actually play any tricks.
Because Yu Yan could see right through her, she could only gain her trust by being "sincere".
"I just wanted to share Mr. Xiang's burdens."
Mei Nan pursed her lips and said, "He's very troubled by the child's situation. You should know that the Xiang family has been kind to our family. My mother worked as a maid for the Xiang family and also as Xiang Chu's nanny. My father passed away early, and I was raised by my mother. If this were the old society, the Xiang family would be our employer. I would be considered a servant born into the Xiang family."
She gave a slight smile. "Fortunately, this is a new era, and there is an opportunity to go to school. My mother works hard to support my education, but that's all she can do for me. President Xiang has been very kind to me. He is my mentor. Without him, I wouldn't be a manager now, running a laboratory, and even able to sit on equal footing with you and eat at the same table."
Mei Nan humbled herself and presented her most vulnerable side to Yu Yan.
"Yu Yan, I have nothing else to give you but my most valuable possession."
Mei Nan glanced at the file folder. "I know that what I'm doing is disloyal and will definitely offend Gan Xiaoxing. If she finds out I'm working against her behind her back, she'll probably try to destroy me. But I don't care. As long as I can help President Xiang and get Xiao Chu's schooling sorted out, I'll feel it's worth it."
Yu Yan stared straight at Mei Nan and clenched her fist.
Mei Nan likes Xiang Jingheng.
No, it's love.
She revered Xiang Jingheng like a god, but her feelings for him were different from Gan Xiaoxing's.
However, Yu Yan didn't say anything. She had no right to say anything to Mei Nan right now. Mei Nan liking Xiang Jingheng was her business, and it had nothing to do with her.
Even if someone minds, the person who minds will be Gan Xiaoxing, not her.

After parting ways at the restaurant, Yu Yan escorted Shao Yun to school.
The two people were holding hands.
"Auntie," Shao Yun asked Yu Yan, "is Xiang Chu also coming to the affiliated primary school?"
Yu Yan looked down at him and said, "Mm."
Shao Yun responded with an "Oh".
Yu Yan said, "He won't come to live with us, and he won't affect you, so don't worry."
"I'm not afraid of him influencing me."
Shao Yun turned to Yu Yan and said, "I was wondering if it would be possible to arrange for Xiang Chu to be in the same class as me."
Yu Yan paused in her steps.
She looked surprised. "You want to be in the same class as Xiang Chu?"
"right."
Shao Yun nodded firmly, "I'll keep an eye on him for you."
The child called him "brother" that day, and he felt he could take charge of things.
We can't let him continue treating his aunt like this. We need to keep Xiang Chu under our watchful eye and discipline him as needed. If he misbehaves again, we'll teach him a lesson.
Back in the orphanage, Shao Yun was a man of few words, but he was the leader of the children.
Whether they are older or younger than him, they all listen to him.
Because he is smart, he can understand everything.
Because although he didn't talk much, every word he said was effective.

Mei Nan returned to the company to report to Xiang Jingheng.
"Yu Yan agreed?"
Xiang Jingheng sat behind his desk, his face filled with disbelief upon hearing this.
He was mentally prepared for Mei Nan to reject him, and for him to bite the bullet and try to win Yu Yan's heart. If all else failed, he could just keep trying at Shangzhou University.
Anyway, he's already become so shameless through his cultivation.
Mei Nan didn't give him that chance; she took action and resolved the issue immediately.
"That's good." Xiang Jingheng was quite happy, as it saved him a lot of trouble. "If Xiao Chu goes to the affiliated primary school, he'll be closer to his mother, and I'll have more opportunities to spend time with Yu Yan."
He had a brilliant plan: since Xiao Chu was attending the affiliated primary school, he could send his son to Yu Yan's place.
Without interference from family members, the three of them were able to live together peacefully.
Mei Nan's smile faded almost imperceptibly, and she looked at Jing Heng with a troubled expression, saying, "This... I'm afraid that won't work."
"Hmm?" Xiang Jingheng looked up in confusion.
Mei Nan whispered, "Yu Yan said that Xiao Chu can go to the affiliated primary school, but that's all she can help with. She can't help with pick-up and drop-off, and she won't let the child stay at her place."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Jingheng's face darkened.
"What does this mean? Are they planning to sever ties with us and never see us again?"
Mei Nan quickly stepped forward, "President Xiang, please don't be angry. Yu Yan definitely didn't mean that... The main thing is that the young master of the Shao family is currently living with Yu Yan and attending the affiliated primary school."
Xiang Jingheng suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"The young master of the Shao family? You mean the nephew of Third Master Shao?"
Mei Nan nodded, "Yes."
Xiang Jingheng clenched his fists, his face darkening even more than before. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, really. She'd rather raise someone else's nephew than live with her own child. No wonder Xiao Chu isn't close to her! Why has her relationship with her child deteriorated to this point? All these years have passed, hasn't she ever reflected on her words and actions?"
Getting angrier as he talked, Xiang Jingheng slammed his pen on the table with a "bang".
Mei Nan's eyes flickered.
She went to the coffee machine, made a cup of coffee, and brought it to Xiang Jingheng, pleading and saying nice things for Yu Yan. "Yu Yan is just a bit cold-hearted, but she's a good person. No matter what, she still took care of this matter. As for the parent-child relationship, you can't force it. Not all mothers will love their children. Some people are born with weak family ties. I think Yu Yan and Xiao Chu are just a little out of sync."
"What do you mean by 'weak family ties'? You don't need to speak up for her."
Xiang Jingheng waved his hand, his face darkening, and said, "She gave birth to the child; she's the child's mother, so she has the responsibility and obligation to raise him. Whether she wants to or not, she has to!"
Mei Nan glanced at Xiang Jingheng, lowered her eyes slightly, and said nothing more.
The phone rang, and Mei Nan glanced at the caller ID and said to Xiang Jingheng, "It's President Gan."
Xiang Jingheng frowned, "Gan Xiaoxing is no longer your boss. You don't need to be at her beck and call. The research lab has nothing to do with her, and you don't need to pay attention to her asking for project bonuses."
"Yes," Mei Nan replied, but her face was still full of fear. "But... President Gan doesn't listen to me."
"Have Gan Xiaoxing come to me."
Xiang Jingheng said in a deep voice, "You'll stay by my side for the next few days, work with me, and remotely command the research lab. You're one of my people, and Gan Xiaoxing can't do anything to you."
Mei Nan felt like fireworks were igniting in her heart, but she tried her best to appear calm on the surface.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang. I will do my job well."
