Ji Ling nodded.

Zhu Heping looked at Miao's father again, "Did you hear what I just asked?"

While Ji Ling and Zhu Heping were talking, Miao's father kept looking at them. From their clothes and behavior, he could tell that they came from a well-off family. Thinking back to what his daughter had said, he had some guesses in his mind.

"What is your relationship with classmate Ji?"

"Is the relationship important?" Zhu Heping raised his chin, "Just call me a righteous person."

Ji Ling: Miao's father also looked unhappy because of the other party's retort. He is a leader in the factory. Everyone who sees him speaks to him will bow and nod. So what if the boy in front of him is from the capital? His attitude is arrogant and he has no manners at all.

Thinking of this, he said, "Uneducated."

"Who are you calling an uneducated person?" Zhu Heping sneered. "When a daughter like you causes trouble, and a father comes to help, but still finds an easy target to bully, you are truly uneducated, right? By the way, your daughter wouldn't lie to you, right? Judging from your behavior, you seem to be a well-known person, and you don't seem like someone who would do such a thing to bully others."

Zhu Heping was not flattering the other party. His sarcasm was obvious. "Your daughter said she was dating someone else, but now the boy has denied it. If you really want to stand up for her, you should find that boy, right?"

Miao's father's face changed slightly, but he defended his daughter, "My Miao Man took the matter on herself in order to help classmate Ji. I came to see classmate Ji today to ask her to persuade Miao Man, and I didn't mean to bully her."

Zhu Heping curled his lips, obviously not believing what he said.

Father Miao pursed his lips and looked at Ji Ling, "Student Ji, Miao Man has been making a fuss at home and refused to see anyone. Her mother and I are afraid that something might happen to her. After repeated consideration, I came to find you, hoping that you can come to my house to persuade her. I know that it is very rash of me to do this, but Miao Man always mentions you to us when she comes home during the holidays. It can be seen that she trusts you very much. As parents, we are very worried when we see her in this situation."

"If you put it that way, it sounds good." Seeing that the other party had lowered her attitude, Zhu Heping did not make things difficult for her. He turned around and looked at Ji Ling, "Sister-in-law, are you going?"

Ji Ling nodded, "Let's go and take a look."

After answering Zhu Heping, Ji Ling looked at Miao's father, "This matter has developed to this point, no matter what, it is all because of me. Uncle Miao found me, I can go over, but I can't guarantee whether I can persuade Miao Man."

"Don't worry, classmate Ji, as long as you go and persuade her, if she still doesn't want to go back to school in the end, we won't blame you."

The two sides agreed that Ji Ling had no classes in the afternoon, and Zhu Heping said he would go with her, so the three of them left the school and took the bus to Miao's house.

On the way, Miao's father's attitude became much friendlier.

He chatted with Ji Ling as an elder, and learned indirectly that Zhu Heping was Ji Ling's brother-in-law. When he wanted to ask what Ji Ling's husband's family did, Ji Ling changed the subject.

Father Miao smiled and didn't chase him any further.

Miao's family lived not close to the school, so they had to change buses twice before they finally got there.

It can be said that we live in a suburban area.

Seeing how well Miao Man usually dressed, Ji Ling was surprised that her family lived here.

"Because I work here, the houses in the staff quarters are also allocated here." When they entered the house, Miao's father explained to the two with a smile.

The Miao family lives in a bungalow.

It is a courtyard with three families living in it.

It was working time in the afternoon, and only the old man from the neighbor's house was sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air. When he saw Miao's father coming back, he greeted him with a smile and called him "Director Miao".

At this time, a woman came out of the house, saw Miao's father, and said with a smile, "You're back."

Father Miao smiled and nodded, then introduced Ji Ling and Zhu Heping.

Miao's mother thanked them apologetically and welcomed the two into the house.

She went directly to the east room, and when Miao's mother pushed the door open, she shouted, "Xiaoman, your classmates are here to see you."

"Mom and Dad, please go out." Miao Man pouted.

Father Miao smiled and said yes, then called his wife and they went out.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer like this. I told them I was fine." Miao Man asked the two men to step down cautiously, and she sat down on the edge of the bed, picking at her fingers without looking up.

Ji Ling glanced at Zhu Heping.

"I'm going out for a walk." Zhu Heping got up and left.

There was no one in the room, so Ji Ling asked, "Miao Man, when are you going to go back to school?"

"In a few days."

"I'm sorry that my affairs have involved you."

"Ji Ling, please don't say that. I should be the one to apologize. If I hadn't said that, I wouldn't be so embarrassed now. It's all my own fault." Miao Man raised her head. "Actually, you all know that I like Jiang Yihang, and I had selfish motives at the time. I would only say that under those circumstances. I always thought that even if Senior Jiang knew, he wouldn't say anything to save my face."

In this way, she became involved with Senior Jiang and gained the upper hand.

It was her greed that led to today's situation.

Ji Ling said, "Everyone knows that people love beauty. There are many people in school who admire Jiang Yihang. What's so shameful about this? You stood up to protect me, and no one would laugh at you. It's because you feel guilty that you feel that people are talking about you."

Miao Man was stunned for a moment, "It seems to be true."

"So the more confident you are, the more it proves that you are trying to help me, and not out of selfish motives."

"Ji Ling, don't you blame me?" Miao Man looked guilty, "I helped you in the name of helping you, but I had my own selfish motives. You should hate me."

"Everyone makes mistakes. You were selfish, but you didn't hurt me. I didn't want to come here or get involved in this matter. Like I said just now, no matter what, you stood up at the time, and I should thank you."

Miao Man felt even more ashamed, "Thank you for being so generous and forgiving me."

"Okay, since there's nothing else to do, take a rest today and go back to school tomorrow. Don't let your parents worry."

Miao Man nodded obediently.

Seeing that she had come to terms with it, Ji Ling also stood up and said goodbye.

Zhu Heping was waiting outside. When he saw Ji Ling come out, he stood up and followed her.

Miao Man sent the people away, and Miao's father and mother also came out of the house.

"Sent your classmates away?"

"Yeah." Miao Man said, "Dad, I always thought I was very smart and others were not as smart as me. In fact, those who think they are smart are the least smart."

"Good boy, you have figured this out through this incident, which is a great achievement." Miao's father narrowed his eyes, "I see your classmate married into an unusual family, I wonder what they do?"

Miao Man shook her head, "Ji Ling didn't say anything, but how did Dad know that?"

"The watch and pen that her brother-in-law wears are not something that can be bought with money." Miao's father smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's be nice to each other in the future."
