Chapter 70 Chapter 70 The Grudges Are Over
After coming out of Dean Guo’s office, Fan Shuling realized that Dean Guo and her daughter had a good relationship.
It’s no wonder that Dean Guo took drastic measures after rumors spread about Qingmei, because he knew her too well.
"Oh, that's right." Dean Guo walked to the door and called Fan Shuling: "Your class hasn't ended yet, right?"
Fan Shuling stopped, turned around and said, "There are still six classes left."
Dean Guo said, "Why don't you let your daughter go in through the back door and listen!"
Fan Shuling laughed and said, "Is that okay?"
Dean Guo waved his hand and said, "I approve it."
Really, how can you be the dean if you can’t even take care of your own people?
Qingmei was buried in her homework, her mother diligently studying. Fan Shuling came over to wait for her to eat, and watching her write without even looking up, it was as if she were a child. It felt like I'd missed it, but it also felt like I hadn't.
A classmate nearby reminded Qingmei, and she finally looked up. Seeing her mother coming, she quickly packed her schoolbag.
"Professor Shen is very close to you." Ever since learning about Qingmei's advanced deeds, everyone has been very polite and respectful to her.
Qingmei directly said: "That's my mother, of course we are close."
After she finished speaking, she didn't care about the other people's expressions and ran over to Fan Shuling: "Did you tell Guo Laolu?"
Fan Shuling tucked her hair behind her ears and said with a smile, "You're already a mother, why are you still acting like a child? You have to call me Dean, and then you can do that at home."
Qingmei pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay."
This personality, she really takes after her mother!
Fan Shuling took Qingmei to the staff canteen to get some food. After eating, they went to the faculty dormitory to pack their things.
They agreed that Fan Shuling would move to the small courtyard house so that it would be convenient for her to go out for meetings, and the family could take care of each other living together.
The mother and daughter entered the faculty dormitory, talking and laughing.
Fan Shuling looked at Qingmei with eyes full of love. Every time she looked at Qingmei, she felt that God still favored her.
Qingmei is already familiar with this place. Last time, she wanted "Professor Chen" to help her get a place in the small class. Now she doesn't have to ask for anything, the back door is open.
"Why is she here again?" Fan Shuling frowned when she saw Zhong Anhua standing downstairs holding a child.
Qingmei didn't know that Zhong Anhua was trying to impersonate her, but she knew that it was always right to think the worst of Zhong Anhua.
"Mom!" Zhong Anhua rushed up impatiently with the child in his arms, but when he was blocked by Qingmei, he bumped into Qingmei's arms.
Qingmei said angrily: "Don't shout, or I'll catch you!"
If she hadn't been holding the child, Qingmei would have pushed her away. Even so, after Zhong Anhua started picking up trash, the pungent smell on her body was hard to mask even in winter.
Qingmei saw that her single eye was black and there was a bloodstain at the corner of her lip.
Fan Shuling said to Zhong Anhua expressionlessly, "You are not my daughter. I told you last time not to come here again. Otherwise, I will call the police and sue you for fraud."
Zhong Anhua looked not in a good mental state. She pointed at Qingmei and reached out to grab Qingmei's hair, but Qingmei knocked her hand away.
Qingmei said disgustedly, "You've been occupying my mother's nest for years, and you still want to snatch her away? Hao Fan is already your father, so don't bother my mother anymore."
Zhong Anhua looked at Qingmei, who was dressed brightly and fashionably from head to toe. Even before the New Year, Qingmei was already wearing red leather shoes.
Comparing her feet with the slippers that still showed her toes in the middle of winter, she felt extremely sad.
Fan Shuling was her only chance to escape from that home. She knelt down in front of Fan Shuling and told them, "I wasn't the one who lied to Hao Fan. It was Qian Ying who tricked Hao Fan into being pregnant with his child. She even said I was his child. I was too young back then and didn't know anything. I just wanted to have a full meal. Qian Ying was afraid he would find out the child looked like someone else, so she secretly had an abortion. The dead baby she used to trick you was actually hers."
After Fan Shuling found her childhood sweetheart, she had long since let go of all the grudges. She didn't want to go back to the past, nor did she want to dwell on the pain of losing her child. She would never forgive the man and woman who deceived her and destroyed her family.
"It's all in the past for me, and your family doesn't want to see it again." Fan Shuling looked down at the baby girl in her arms. Her hair was yellow, and she didn't cry or make a fuss in her arms, as if she had gotten used to the noisy environment.
Zhong Anhua cried, "Please don't stand by and watch me die." Then she turned to look at Qingmei, kowtowed and said, "I wish you success, good health and a long life! I beg you, please help me!"
Qingmei looked at Zhong Anhua and now she knew how to pretend to be pitiful.
"What on earth are you doing here?"
Zhong Anhua stammered, "Please save me, lend me some money so I can leave here—"
"Mr. Zhong, I knew you would come here." Jia Xianping came back from the shipyard and didn't see Zhong Anhua, so he dragged Hao Fan over to find him.
He cursed all the way, causing the security guard to follow him.
When Zhong Anhua saw Jia Xianping coming, his first reaction was not to hug the child tightly, but to put the child on the ground and hold his head.
Jia Xianping rushed over, grabbed her hair, and slapped her several times, cursing, "You're as despicable as your mother! You both want to take someone else's place. How many more people do you want to kill?"
Hao Fan was hunched over in a mess, looking even older than the last time he saw him.
When he saw Fan Shuling and Qingmei standing together, he knew that they had recognized each other as relatives and could no longer hide it.
He ignored Zhong Anhua who was being beaten and walked up to Fan Shuling with a trembling voice: "I, I was also deceived. Her mother is such a scumbag. She let my daughter live out there. I feel so sorry for this ungrateful person."
Fan Shuling took out her wallet from her pocket, pulled out a photo of Gu Zhaozhao, handed it to Hao Fan, and said, "Look, he looks exactly like Qingmei when she was a child."
Hao Fan wanted to reach out and take Gu Zhaozhao's photo. He knew that Qingmei had given birth to a son, but he didn't expect that he would be such a handsome and blessed boy.
Fan Shuling only let him take a glance before taking the photo back. She said calmly, "You deserve to be raising someone else's daughter for being so suspicious. Zhong Anhua is not young anymore. According to this calculation, you and Qian Ying should have been hooking up before I got pregnant, right? You refused to listen to my explanation and flatly denied that Qingmei was your daughter. You just wanted to make your dirty deeds seem more natural. Now that you are married, did you ever imagine that your life would be so wonderful?"
Hao Fan was speechless.
If he and Qingmei hadn't fallen out, Qingmei would be his daughter and Gu Qingzhou would be his son-in-law. He would also have a commander-in-law and a professor-in-law...
Hao Fan's throat suddenly felt blocked.
After being slapped a few times, Zhong Anhua became unusually quiet and wanted to lift up her clothes to feed the child while holding him.
"Hello, friends." Jia Xianping, cigarette in hand, looked at Qingmei and Fan Shuling and smiled, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Who is your friend?" Qingmei was too lazy to deal with such a person and pulled Fan Shuling upstairs.
When Zhong Anhua saw them about to leave, she hurriedly shouted, "Save me!"
Jia Xianping also wanted to stop them and quickly chased after them, but suddenly there was a force from behind and he fell heavily to the ground!
Qingmei felt a gust of wind coming, and then Gu Qingzhou's tall figure suddenly appeared. The difficult guy who was pressing on Hao Fan and Zhong Anhua's family was easily pinned to the ground by Gu Qingzhou.
"Ouch, stop hitting me, I'm going to get out of here right now."
Qingmei saw Gu Qingzhou said nothing, while Jia Xianping, who was lying on the ground, got up suddenly. Without even bothering to brush off the dust on his body, he pushed Zhong Anhua away with a fearful look on his face.
"Why are you here?" Qingmei looked at Gu Qingzhou with a smile, and took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe his hands.
Gu Qingzhou pointed to the jeep not far away and said, "Aren't you going to move some things?"
Xiao Jin parked the car and ran over and said, "Where's the stuff? I'll move it."
Finally, everyone worked together to load Fan Shuling's belongings into the car. Xiao Jin drove back, and Gu Qingzhou accompanied Qingmei and her mother-in-law on their way home from Zayuan Street.
Hao Fan watched them leave, finally sighed heavily, and went home.
Qian Ying was seriously ill in bed at the moment. Long-term malnutrition had left her with no resistance. A minor cold left her bedridden and she developed pneumonia.
No one was looking after her at home, and she was so thirsty she couldn't speak. Knowing that Zhong Anhua wanted to go to Fan Shuling, she cursed Zhong Anhua over and over in her mind.
There was a sound at the door, followed by the sound of beating.
Qian Ying closed her eyes and pretended to have fainted from illness, not caring at all about Zhong Anhua's life or death.
She thought she couldn't sleep, but ended up sleeping for a whole day and night.
When she woke up, Zhong Anhua had already gone out to pick up trash, and the baby girl was crying loudly with hunger beside her.
The door was pushed open, and she shuddered. Seeing Hao Fan coming back, she said in a hoarse voice, "Give me something to eat! I'm starving."
Hao Fan was the only one in the family with a formal job. He first took out a multi-grain steamed bun from his teaching bag, broke it in two, gave one half to Qian Ying, and soaked the other half in warm water from the thermos to make steamed bun porridge. He stirred it with a spoon and fed the baby while holding his baby.
Qian Ying wolfed down half a steamed bun and stared at her granddaughter's bowl. Hao Fan sighed and handed her the enamel cup for her to drink.
Qian Ying gulped down a jar of water, and only then did he feel alive again.
She didn't care why Hao Fan came back so late, she cursed, "Is there some shameless person out there seducing you? You two are both trying to get rid of me and run away! If I hadn't told my son-in-law, your daughter would have been clinging to that woman!"
Hao Fan silently took out an envelope from his bag, held it in his hand and asked Qian Ying, "Will you divorce me?"
Qian Ying was stunned for a moment, then cursed, "I've been with you for over twenty years, and now life is almost unbearable and you still want to divorce me? No! I won't divorce you even if I die! Don't even think about getting rid of me and living a good life!"
If she weren't so old, she would have been the first to want a divorce and run away. Unfortunately, things were different now, and she had no choice. She was standing in the abyss, and she wanted to drag everyone else into it as well.
If she had to choose her biggest regret, it would be that she didn't expose Jia Xianping's fraudulent behavior in time, even though her teacher had told her. This led to her family being entangled in Jia Xianping's scourge, seemingly to the point of a relentless pursuit.
"You're not the first one who doesn't want to divorce me." Hao Fan said with a wry smile, "Maybe I shouldn't get divorced in this life."
He handed the envelope to Qian Ying and said, "This is a secondment letter. I've applied to go to Liangshan District to teach at a Hope Primary School. I'll be settling down in the countryside and never coming back. Whether you divorce or not, I don't care."
Qian Ying looked at the secondment letter, which had the seals of the school and the district education bureau on it. She wanted to tear it up, but Hao Fan snatched it away.
Qian Ying collapsed on the bed, watching Hao Fan pack his belongings. He had very few things, and was about to leave the house with just a bag.
Qian Ying rushed out of the room with a high fever, grabbed Hao Fan and said, "How am I going to live? How am I going to live if you leave?!"
Hao Fan shook off her hand and said coldly, "Live the same way Fan Shuling lived twenty years ago."
