On the other side, the Kyoto University affiliated school.
"Dong, dong, dong!" A teacher was hitting a gong rhythmically with a hammer.
The school bell rang, and the students rushed out of the school, bringing with them a day of laughter and noise.
Qin Yanyan, carrying her schoolbag, walked out of the school gate with Yueyue, Anan and Ningning, smiling.
"Yanyan!" Zhao Wen ran over to Qin Yanyan when he saw her coming out. "Yanyan, Daddy's here to pick you up from school."
Qin Yanyan looked up at him, feeling very reluctant. She shook her head decisively and said, "No, I want to go home by myself."
The smile on Zhao Wen's face disappeared instantly. He forced a smile and asked, "Dad's house is also your home."
Qin Yanyan shook her head and said, "Didn't I make it very clear last time? I won't go."
At this time, Qin Zhichu, who came to pick someone up, just arrived.
Ever since Zhao Wen went to the courtyard to find Yanyan last time, Qin Zhichu has been feeling uneasy.
Originally, there would have been no problem for the four children to go home together, but Qin Zhichu was worried, so he simply picked up and dropped off the children himself every day.
Qin Zhichu didn't give Zhao Wen a good look and started to ridicule him.
"How long do you want to keep causing this? Can you please stay away from Yanyan?"
Zhao Wen said, "Is it wrong for me to want to be close to my daughter?"
Qin Zhichu said, "You should know that Qin Yanyan has grown up and needs her own space and right to make decisions. You should respect her choice."
"You are also a cultured person, so save some face for yourself."
The two quarreled at the school gate, and more and more people gathered to watch.
Zhao Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Everyone, let's be fair. Although we're divorced, Yanyan is still my flesh and blood. Isn't it unreasonable for her to stop me from getting close to the child?"
He wanted to use public opinion to make Qin Zhichu understand that his relationship with Yanyan could not be severed.
The onlookers, upon hearing Zhao Wen's words, speculated that the two were fighting over the child. It was simply wrong not to allow the child to see the other party after the divorce.
A young teacher came over. He looked at Zhao Wen and Qin Zhichu and advised, "I think the bond between a father and his daughter is very precious. Why don't you try to get them to interact?"
"Don't involve children in adult matters. After all, it's not good for children if neither parent loves them."
When Zhao Wen heard this, a look of pride appeared on his face. He felt that what the young man said made sense.
He turned to look at Qin Zhichu and said, "You're right. I should respect Yanyan's choice. However, she is still young and easily influenced by you. As a father, I naturally can't just ignore her."
When Qin Zhichu heard what Zhao Wen said, he cursed inwardly, saying that this man was so shameless!
"Zhao Wen, do you still need me to tell you what you have done?"
Zhao Wen said, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. If you make up stories, it will also affect the child's reputation. When you slander me, think about what the classmates will think of her."
Qin Zhichu felt as if a raging fire was burning in his chest, and he wished he could kick Zhao Wen to death.
In fact, she did so. She raised her foot and kicked Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen was caught off guard and was kicked flat on his back.
“Puff!”
Someone laughed out loud. This posture was really ridiculous.
The young teacher's eyes were full of disapproval: "Yanyan's mother, how can you handle things like this!"
Yanyan said: "My mother is right! Teacher, you don't know."
"When I was six, this man wanted to marry someone else because he wanted to marry someone richer than him. He thought my mother and I were blocking his way."
"The Zhao family tied us up in the bedroom and tried to starve me to death."
"My uncle and aunt found us and rushed us to the hospital for emergency treatment, which saved our lives. That's how my mother and I left the Zhao family. When we divorced, this man signed an agreement to give up on me."
"What's the point of coming here to claim your daughter now?"
"Everyone thinks I'm too young to remember what happened back then. But how could I have forgotten?"
"My mom didn't tell me because she was afraid that my classmates would think I had a murderer father and look down on me."
"But I'm not afraid!"
"I just need to protect my mother. This man and I have no father-daughter relationship."
After saying this, Yanyan was already in tears. Qin Zhichu pulled his daughter into his arms distressedly.
Ning Ning said loudly: "Yes, everyone in our village can prove it. My aunt and my cousin were rescued and brought back to the village by my parents."
"This man named Zhao Wen is so shameless!"
The onlookers finally connected the cause and effect and began to spit on Zhao Wen!
"Oh my god, I've really learned something new today! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so beasts are worse than that!"
"He's still making excuses. His face is thicker than a city wall."
"Fortunately, we didn't speak up for him just now, otherwise it would have been really bullying for the mother and daughter."
The young teacher looked embarrassed and walked over to Qin Zhichu and Yanyan. "I'm sorry, I didn't understand the situation clearly before I spoke nonsense."
Qin Zhichu shook his head: "I don't blame you, you don't know what's going on here."
The young teacher scratched his head. As a young man, he really didn't know how to comfort others.
They could only help condemn Zhao Wen: "You are a man with a very deep mind. You want to use us to force Yanyan's mother. This is too immoral."
Zhao Wen had already gotten up. He had really lost all his face and dignity today.
Somewhat annoyed, he said, "No matter what, this child has my blood in him! We will always be related."
The onlookers expressed disdain and ridicule at his behavior.
"I've seen self-righteous people, but I've never seen anyone this self-righteous."
"Hey, girls, don't have kids right after you get married. You have to understand a good man's character. If you meet someone like that, you'll be entangled even after you get divorced."
Zhao Wen gritted his teeth, anger burning in his heart.
He hadn't expected Yanyan to remember everything that happened back then. This was too alienating. But he only had this one bloodline, so he had to find a way to coax the child back.
He looked deeply at the crying Yanyan, then turned and left the crowd.
The protagonists of the quarrel left and the crowd slowly dispersed. Qin Zhichu then took Yanyan home.
The young teacher stood there, watching them leave. When they were out of sight, a car stopped beside him.
"You must be impatient, get in the car quickly."
The middle-aged man who was speaking had a distinct jawline and a chiseled face, giving him a masculine air.
He was well-dressed, with a neatly collared shirt and a well-tailored suit, exuding a mature and steady beauty. He exuded a confident, elegant, and abstinent aura that attracted people involuntarily.
The young teacher said, "Brother, I made a mistake today..."
