No matter how much Zhu Xiaoqin dotes on her daughter, she couldn't possibly lose her mind and become completely irrational.
She said with a mix of helplessness and heartache, "Yan Yan, it's their freedom to go wherever they want. What right do I have to kick them out?"
Zhao Yanyan cried even louder: "I just can't stand her clinging to Brother Gu! I wish I could take a knife and slash her face!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaoqin was so frightened that she pressed Zhao Yanyan down into a chair and sternly warned, "Yanyan, you're out of your mind! How could you say such a thing! Your father is the university president, and I am the hospital director. You are a person of status and education, how can you be so quick to threaten violence!"
Zhao Yanyan's fierce expression softened somewhat, but her crying had not stopped.
"Mom, with that Shen Jingyan around, Brother Gu will never even glance at me. What should I do..."
Seeing her daughter almost completely lost in a trance, Zhu Xiaoqin felt even more helpless.
But she didn't dare say anything like asking Zhao Yanyan to give up, for fear of provoking her daughter to do something foolish.
He could only pat her shoulder and comfort her, saying, "No matter how pretty or likable Shen Jingyan is, she's just a country girl. Is it so easy for her to move to the city? Xiao Gu is so outstanding. It's a sure thing that he'll get into university and return to the city this year. Once he comes back, won't Shen Jingyan automatically break up with him? It's not so easy for someone with a rural household registration to settle down in the capital. The two of them will definitely break up then."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanyan's tear-streaked face finally showed a slight smile.
"Yes, Mom, you were right. Shen Jingyan has a rural household registration. It's not that easy for her to settle down in the capital!"
Once Gu Zhiyun gets into university and returns to the city, the two will be hundreds of kilometers apart and won't see each other for a long time, so wouldn't that automatically end the relationship?
How could Shen Jingyan compare to her? She's a resident of the capital; getting close to Gu Zhiyun will be a piece of cake for her.
But her joy was short-lived, as another worry soon arose.
"But Mom, what if Brother Gu is bewitched by Shen Jingyan and takes the household registration book to get a marriage certificate with Shen Jingyan in the countryside?"
Zhu Xiaoqin waved her hand and said easily, "That's absolutely impossible! There's a national policy that if an educated youth marries a local, it's considered that they automatically give up their urban household registration. Gu Zhiyun's parents only have him as their son, and they will never allow him to give up his urban household registration!"
Zhao Yanyan was completely relieved.
With only three months left until the college entrance examination in December, what's another three months if it's so that I can be with Gu Zhiyun forever?
She has waited for more than ten years; this deep affection will eventually move Gu Zhiyun!

Seeing that her daughter's emotions had finally stabilized, Zhu Xiaoqin said, "Yanyan, go and review your lessons! I went to great lengths to ask someone to help me get you some study materials, so you must cherish them! If you get into a university in the capital, your dad will be proud!"
Zhao Yanyan absentmindedly fiddled with the gold ring on her hand and said, "High school knowledge is so simple, I can understand it at a glance! I'm sure I can get into Beijing University, you and Dad can just wait for my acceptance letter!"
Zhu Xiaoqin doesn't dare to have too much confidence in her daughter's studies.
Although Zhao Yanyan's grades were quite good in high school, that was because she and Zhao Guangsheng had status and influence, and could hire tutors to give Zhao Yanyan private lessons.
But now there are no teachers to tutor Zhao Yanyan individually, and Zhao Yanyan hasn't held a textbook for two or three years. She's afraid she's forgotten all the knowledge she had in high school.
Last time, she gave Zhao Yanyan a high school math test and a Chinese test, which Zhao Yanyan did terribly.
He even got the simplest differentiation formula wrong, and he completely forgot "Li Sao," a text that was required to be memorized in high school.
Zhao Yanyan made excuses for herself, saying that she did it casually and didn't pay much attention to it. She believed that if she had done it seriously, she would have gotten it right.
Zhu Xiaoqin earnestly advised, "Go and read some books. The exam is in three months, and you haven't touched your textbooks for several weeks."
Zhao Yanyan complained impatiently, "Ugh, Mom, aren't you annoying? Such a beautiful day, and you want me to waste my time on textbooks?"

With that, she got up, grabbed her bag, and headed out.
Zhu Xiaoqin asked, "You just had lunch, where are you going?"
Zhao Yanyan didn't even turn her head: "The supply and marketing cooperative has started selling autumn clothes again. I've made plans to go shopping with my classmates. I haven't bought any clothes in ages!"
Zhu Xiaoqin watched her daughter's retreating figure and sighed softly.
Zhao Yanyan didn't take the college entrance exam seriously at all. When she saw her peers studying desperately and making the most of every minute, she would laugh at them for being stupid.
Anyway, her father is the president of Beijing University. Even if she doesn't take the college entrance examination, as long as she wants to go to Beijing University, her father will get her in.
From a young age, she had an inescapable arrogance, looking down on others. That innate sense of superiority always made her inexplicably confident.
As soon as she pushed open the door and stepped out of the courtyard, she heard Gu Zhiyun's voice coming from the neighboring courtyard.
Under the osmanthus tree in the Gu family courtyard, Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan sat side by side. In front of them was a small table with several test papers and draft papers spread out on it. Shen Jingyan rested her chin on her hands, listening attentively as Gu Zhiyun explained the math problems.
As the autumn wind blows, golden osmanthus blossoms fall softly, covering the shoulders of the two people. Anyone who sees this would sigh at the tranquility of life.
