Xie Huaiye looked down at Yan Ning, a faint smile curving his lips:
"It's okay. I understand your family situation. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You've already tried your best."
Yan Ning smiled upon hearing this.
With a hint of defiance in her smile, she looked directly at Xie Huaiye and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."
"If anyone dares to mess with me, I will definitely retaliate tenfold and show them what I'm capable of."
Xie Huaiye's gaze fell on her face. "Yes, I know you can do it. You can definitely do it."
Yan Ning shifted her gaze somewhat awkwardly and glanced at her wristwatch.
“Ah,” she exclaimed softly, “it’s getting late, I should go back.”
Xie Huaiye paused noticeably.
"Okay, you can go back now."
He opened his mouth, then added, "Well, see you next time we record."
"Yeah."
Yan Ning nodded, a smile spreading across her face. "See you at the next recording."
After saying that, she turned and left, her figure disappearing into the night.
Xie Huaiye stood still.
His gaze followed Yan Ning's retreating figure until she was completely out of sight, before he turned and went back into the villa.
He had just stepped into the living room.
I saw Ren Xuelan sitting in the living room, her face not looking too good, her brows slightly furrowed.
The air felt a bit heavy.
When Ren Xuelan saw her son come in, she sighed heavily, "Sigh..."
“Your dad called me earlier.”
Her tone carried a hint of something else, "Goodness, she praised Yan Ning a full eight hundred times! I'm sick of hearing it."
She picked up her teacup, then put it down, seemingly not in the mood to drink.
"I came back specifically because he praised her so much. I want to see what kind of amazing person this girl is that can bewitch you two like this?"
She looked at Xie Huaiye, her eyes scrutinizing him.
“Huaiye, Mom didn’t mean to say anything bad about her, it’s just…”
She paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully, "There must be quite a few girls like her out there, good-looking and with a little talent, right?"
"What special skills does she have that make your dad praise her so much and make you so concerned about her?"
Xie Huaiye frowned slightly.
He could hear the criticism and disapproval in his mother's words.
"mom."
His voice was not loud, but very clear, "Yan Ning is fine, not as bad as you think."
He took two steps forward and looked directly into his mother's eyes.
His tone was serious, even tinged with helplessness: "You're being so picky here, thinking that other people aren't good enough for our family, not good enough for me..."
He paused for a moment, then said calmly, "But do you know? Even Yan Ning might not be interested in your son, me."
"you!"
Ren Xuelan took a deep breath, her eyes widening in surprise.
She was speechless for a moment after hearing that.
His face showed a mixture of shock and annoyance at being contradicted.
She pointed at Xie Huaiye, and after a long while, she managed to utter a sentence, filled with a deep sense of powerlessness:
"Fine! Fine! I really can't be bothered with you two anymore!"
She stood up, grabbed her handbag, and stormed toward the door.
As she reached the door, she couldn't help but turn back and leave with a single sentence:
"You two, father and son, are so stubborn! Once you've made up your mind, you'll never turn back. You're practically cut from the same cloth! Exactly alike!"
After saying that, the door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Xie Huaiye was left standing alone in the living room, his expression somewhat complicated.
the next day.
Yan Ning went to school as usual, and as soon as she entered the classroom, she was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of her classmates.
"Yan Ning, this is for you!"
"Try mine, it's super delicious!"
"And mine too!"
Her desk drawer was crammed full of all sorts of snacks and small gifts.
Potato chips, chocolate, imported candies... they're practically overflowing.
Yan Ning looked at this pile of sweet burdens and felt a little amused and exasperated.
Everyone was so enthusiastic; she couldn't possibly finish it all by herself.
All of this is because of her outstanding performance on variety shows.
The students now look at her with eyes full of admiration.
The atmosphere was completely different in another corner of the classroom.
Su Muyao sat in her seat with a cold face.
The people who used to fawn over her are now all flocking to Yan Ning.
Apart from her two or three little followers, almost no one took the initiative to talk to her.
Seeing Yan Ning being fawned over by everyone, and then looking at the desolate scene on their side.
The fire in Su Muyao's heart was burning fiercely, so angry that her nails were almost digging into her palms.
The morning was relatively calm, but a mock test came in the afternoon.
When the exam results came out, the contrast became even more stark.
Yan Ning's name topped the list, with an impressive score.
Su Muyao's test paper was also handed out, and she almost failed!
She crumpled the test paper into a ball, stuffed it under the table, and her face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Then, Teacher Qiao came in.
"Students."
Teacher Qiao smiled and said, "Based on your performance during this period, especially your learning attitude and overall qualities."
"I've decided that Yan Ning will be our new class monitor! What do you all think?"
"OK!"
"agree!"
"Yan Ning is the best!"
The classroom immediately erupted in applause and cheers of approval.
Yan Ning stood up a little embarrassed and bowed slightly to everyone to express her gratitude.
Su Muyao sat below, her face turning even darker.
Teacher Qiao waved her hand to quiet everyone down: "Okay, the class monitor position is settled. There's one more thing: the school's annual sports meet is about to begin!"
