After delivering the dumplings, Xu Yiyi deliberately asked Zhao Hanqiao, "Are the dumplings delicious?"
"It's alright, we've finished eating."
Xu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart. She had made more than twenty dumplings for Zhao Hanqiao, and he shouldn't be able to finish them all. It seemed that Zhao Hanqiao really liked her dumplings.
It wasn't for nothing that she spent the whole afternoon rolling out dumpling wrappers, or that her fingers ached from making so few dumplings. It wasn't for nothing that she rode her bike to deliver dumplings to Zhao Hanqiao, making sure not a single one was left unfinished so they wouldn't stick together.
As long as Zhao Hanqiao eats her dumplings and affirms her, she feels that everything is worthwhile.
Xu Yiyi hugged Zhao Hanqiao and said, "Hanqiao, I inquired again and found out that there is a house for sale near my school. It's not as good as the house in Huachu Future that I saw a few days ago, but it's still nice. Why don't we settle on the house and get our marriage certificate? Let's get things done as soon as possible. I'm getting old, and my mother has been urging me several times. She's afraid that our relationship will change. Please understand her feelings."
Zhao Hanqiao knew that he was in the wrong in this matter.
It wouldn't make sense for me to have been dating and living with Xu Yiyi for so many years without getting a marriage certificate.
But he didn't want to upset Sun Xiaoya. If she knew he had bought a house, she would definitely cry again. Last time, Sun Xiaoya had a sharp pain in her heart, and she would definitely do it again this time. He didn't want Sun Xiaoya to cry.
“I understand what you’re saying. I didn’t say I wouldn’t buy a house. I’m just a bit busy these days. How about we postpone it for a few days? It’s not urgent, it’s not like we’re in a rush.”
After Zhao Hanqiao finished speaking, he went to the bathroom to wash up.
Xu Yiyi was a little disappointed. If a man is determined, he can accomplish anything. If he doesn't do something, it's simply because he doesn't want to. She and Zhao Hanqiao have been together for so many years. Why doesn't Zhao Hanqiao think about how much she has sacrificed?
Xu Yiyi showed her disappointment on her face.
Zhao Hanqiao felt a little guilty and could only comfort himself that he hadn't actually cheated. How could emotional infidelity be considered cheating? He and Sun Xiaoya hadn't done anything substantial; they hadn't kissed, held hands, or slept together. He hadn't cheated.
He didn't do anything wrong to Xu Yiyi; he was just daydreaming and wanted to open the window for some fresh air.
He did not intend to jump off the train and end the journey.
Zhao Hanqiao didn't think he was wrong; on the contrary, he felt that he had upheld his principles and was a very good man.
He had been quite good to Xu Yiyi. Most men in this situation would have cheated long ago, but he remained steadfast. He and Sun Xiaoya liked each other, but they adhered to their principles. They loved each other but could not be together, and their lives were very difficult.
Xu Yiyi had no idea that Zhao Hanqiao was thinking this way. Over the years, all the money Xu Yiyi had earned had been spent on Zhao Hanqiao. She not only supported Zhao Hanqiao but also his family. She took care of Zhao Hanqiao's sisters. When Zhao Hanqiao's sister's child had surgery, she even took out 500 yuan.
Xu Yiyi was incredibly kind to Zhao Hanqiao.
So much so that Zhao Hanqiao felt that this kindness was deserved.
Xu Yiyi was a little unwilling. She had put so much effort into Zhao Hanqiao, and just when Zhao Hanqiao's career was finally thriving and it was time to reap the rewards, someone else wanted to steal the limelight.
Xu Yiyi was unwilling to let go!
She decided to talk to Sun Xiaoya.
But how do I bring this up? If Sun Xiaoya's family knew she was involved in someone else's relationship, if her family intervened, wouldn't it be easier to handle?
Fortunately, Xu Yiyi quickly learned about Sun Xiaoya's family information from the enrollment form she filled out. It turned out that Sun Xiaoya's father held a high position, which explained his arrogance. His family was also well-off. In fact, Xu Yiyi knew this person.
Last year, when Xu Yiyi went to a meeting, Sun Xiaoya's father gave a speech on stage. Sun Xiaoya's father was quite refined and stood out among the group of older men. In addition, his name sounded nice, so Xu Yiyi remembered him.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Xu Yiyi's father.
He doesn't seem like the type to have a daughter like that.
Xu Yiyi curled her lips. In a family like this, the requirements for their daughter must be very strict. If Sun's father knew that his daughter was like this, he would definitely beat Sun Xiaoya. At that time, Sun Xiaoya would not dare to interfere in their relationship due to the pressure.
Xu Yiyi decided to talk to Sun Xiaoya's father.
But to her utter surprise, before she could even go to see Sun Xiaoya's father, her activities of running a school and recruiting students under the name of Tsinghua University were reported.
These days, many people use the name of prestigious schools to recruit students. Usually, schools won't interfere unless it's too outrageous. But Xu Yiyi went too far. Putting it in the admission brochure is already considered false advertising.
Someone has now reported her for falsifying her admission brochure.
Xu Yiyi was just an administrative teacher, but she lied and claimed to be a famous teacher and English professor at Tsinghua University.
This is a problem with the teacher's ethics.
Xu Yiyi was called in for a talk by the school leaders. The leaders also felt a headache when they saw her. This kind of thing was reported by the public, which damaged Tsinghua University's reputation, and the leaders had no other choice.
"Teacher Xu, you admit to this, right?"
Xu Yiyi nervously rubbed her hands. She didn't deny it, but she didn't want to be punished by the school. "Director, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to correct it. I just wanted to recruit more students. Actually, our school is very good. Many people didn't enroll because of my fabricated identity. They came for our courses."
"Then you should get rid of your fake identity. You shouldn't use a fake identity to deceive people. You know that parents all hope their children will succeed. If you say you're from Tsinghua University and have unique learning experiences, parents will definitely believe you. If that's not deception, what is it?"
Xu Yiyi lowered her head and remained silent.
The leader sighed: "I promised to give the higher-ups an explanation. You'll be suspended from your duties for now and will be investigated. Once I've investigated, I'll decide how to handle this matter. Xiao Xu, you can't be too greedy. What else could you possibly want? Why are you using the school's name to swindle and deceive people outside? This violates the school's rules."
