In a small city in China on the other side of the ocean.
Chen Shumei, who was wearing reading glasses and listening to the news on the radio, was knitting a sweater and reading the news reports.
[It is said that the results of the provincial champion in the previous year were very unsatisfactory, and some test papers were almost blank. The reporter asked her why. She said that something important happened at that time, so she didn't have a good rest, and she also got sick and had a fever, and her performance was abnormal... …]
[Provincial champion Mu Qingli would like to say to the majority of university students, no matter what happens, don’t give up studying and fight for your life! Only then can you be worthy of the people who love and protect you]
When Chen Shumei heard this, she laughed and cursed: "This little girl can talk like a child."
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
The landline phone on the table made a harsh and loud sound. Chen Shumei put down her sweater, straightened herself a little, and while chanting "Come on, it's here, here it is," she got up and went to the table to pick up the phone.
"Hey, who is this?"
"Oh? Yixuan! Why did you remember to call back? Aren't you busy?"
Chen Shumei was cheerful and loving, as if she was chatting with her son who was working outside.
Asking questions here and there.
Lin Yixuan, who was holding the mobile phone, pinched his eyebrows anxiously and had to interrupt Chen Shumei, "Dean, I have something to ask you."
"Oh, what's going on?" Chen Shumei was about to pull up a stool and sit down, chatting slowly.
In the past, every time Xiaolizi called, she would have to talk to her for a long time.
"I..." Lin Yixuan was a little embarrassed to say it, but thinking about his career, he still spoke, "Something happened to me recently, and I would like to ask the dean to help me prove that there is no male-female relationship between me and Mu Qingli."
"ah?"
Chen Shumei stopped pulling the stool, "Didn't you and Xiaolizi have been dating for three years?"
When Mu Qingli was seventeen and still in high school, Lin Yixuan was discovered by a talent scout.
At that time, he was reluctant to let go and took the initiative to confess his love. She didn't agree with it at first, so she almost didn't beat Mu Qingli for it.
But I couldn't help but the little girl was in love and had very personal ideas.
Chen Shumei finally bowed her head.
After Lin Yixuan left, Mu Qingli continued to go to school locally for nine years of compulsory education.
She got very good grades.
I can get the first scholarship in the school every year.
According to this trend, he could become the local top pick and get admitted to a very good university.
As a result, at this important turning point in life, Mu Qingli's family came to find her.
Chen Shumei couldn't know the details. The Mu family's reputation was extremely strict, so they brought a paternity test to show her. Because of this, Chen Shumei couldn't keep anyone.
After Mu Qingli was taken away, it was difficult for Chen Shumei to know her movements.
Until two years ago, Mu Qingli came back with a truckload of food, clothing, and books, and sweetly said that she and Lin Yixuan donated it to the orphanage.
Chen Shumei felt relieved when she saw that she was doing well.
I just didn't expect that Lin Yixuan would now ask her to come forward to deny the relationship between the two of them?
"Lin Yixuan, are you out of your mind? Why did you do this?"
Although Chen Shumei is a bit old, she is not stupid. She often listens to the news and knows that Lin Yixuan and Mu Qingli have become big stars.
Now that he is asking himself to testify, where should he put the little pear?
And if such nonsense happens in their circle, will Xiaolizi still be a human being?
Those fans shouldn't poke their spines and scold her?
Lin Yixuan was a little surprised that Chen Shumei would say this. He dared to call because of course Chen Shumei took special care of him when he was in the orphanage.
So much so that Lin Yixuan had deep feelings for her and privately regarded her as his own mother.
Chen Shumei is extremely strict with girls like Mu Qingli.
Because of his confession back then, Chen Shumei didn't do anything to him, but she scolded Mu Qingli so hard that she almost didn't give her food.
It was clear that Mu Qingli had overshadowed her.
Why, now?
If Chen Shumei knew what Lin Yixuan was thinking, she would probably be furious.
The reason for being harsh on girls is that the social environment is unfair to them, let alone children from orphanages.
Chen Shumei hopes that they can study hard and go out of this small city to farther and wider places in the future.
Rather than being held back by some people or things.
Especially Mu Qingli, she has been good at studying since she was a child and is a very smart child.
There will be great potential in the future.
As a result, he was seduced by Lin Yixuan at the age of seventeen.
Chen Shumei was really angry at the time, but unfortunately she couldn't go against the child's wishes even if she was angry again.
She retracted her thoughts, with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.
"What happened between you and her to make you want to kill her like this?"
The four words "kill all" are too unpleasant to hear. Lin Yixuan frowned and said displeasedly: "The dean thinks I am killing all. Why don't you think she is chasing me and beating me to death?"
As he spoke, he told Chen Shumei the news that Mu Qingli had exposed their relationship, said they were breaking up, and spread rumors that he was cheating on someone else.
There is no current hot gossip on the radio that Chen Shumei listens to.
So I don't know what happened.
The more she listened, the tighter her brows furrowed, "You and her are already dating, why can't you tell us?"
"And the breakup. You said she spread rumors that you were cheating on someone else. Who is that other person?"
Lin Yixuan blushed when asked, "Dean, you don't believe me either?"
Chen Shumei chuckled: "It's not that I don't believe you, but have you discovered it yourself? The way you call Mu Qingli is completely different from the way you call that person."
"I can hear your obvious intention to protect you."
"I can also hear your boredom with Mu Qingli."
Lin Yixuan moved his lips, wanting to refute, but didn't know how to say it.
Chen Shumei is no one else.
Growing up, he only saw care and affection in her.
Lin Yixuan has feelings for her.
Just like an elder's wise education, he felt guilty and could not refute.
Chen Shumei held the phone and sat down tremblingly, "Yixuan, I don't know what happened between you and Qingli, but don't forget that back then, it was you who confessed your love first and said you would take care of her for the rest of your life."
"Do you remember what you said in front of me?"
Lin Yixuan was startled and couldn't help but think back to that year when Chen Shumei was very angry about her confession to Mu Qingli.
Not only did he lock Mu Qingli tightly, he almost hit her.
He was the one who stopped her, and knelt down in front of Chen Shumei and swore that he would protect Mu Qingli well and never let her down in his life.
He also said that he was discovered by a talent scout now and would not let her suffer in the future.
Mu Qingli looked at her and knelt down with him. She didn't like to talk, and she accompanied him silently and firmly.
At that time, the two of them were like a pair of desperate mandarin ducks, desperately trying to get a chance for their own happiness.
It's a pity that things are unpredictable. At that time, Lin Yixuan didn't know that he was the illegitimate son of the Lin family.
He didn't even know that the Lin family would find him back, but they had no regard for Mu Qingli, the daughter of the Mu family.
He has been trying hard to make Mu Qingli and the Mu family get along well.
It's just that she doesn't want to at all.
Every time she offends Mu Youwan, the Mu family hates her even more.
Lin Yixuan pursed her lips, "I worked hard for our love, but she gave up on me."
"Dean, she had an affair with her boss, and then she broke up with me. I didn't know about it at first and kept trying to keep her, but she bribed reporters to take photos of us having sex, and then she said we had broken up."
"Dean, she was the first to be unkind."
Chen Shumei frowned. She didn't know if what Lin Yixuan said was true. It was even the first time for her to hear some professional vocabulary.
"I can't control your affairs. I didn't control it back then, and it's the same now."
"You said she was sorry for you, so you wanted to fight back. I agree."
"But she didn't feel sorry for me. You are all children raised by me. I can't favor one against another. I won't help with this matter."
Lin Yixuan was shocked, "Dean..."
Chen Shumei didn't give him a chance to continue talking and hung up the phone.
Lin Yixuan was stunned.
He never expected that the dean would choose Mu Qingli between him and Mu Qingli.
Is she not grateful at all for her donations and returns to the orphanage over the years?
…
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shumei suddenly looked much older.
After burying herself in her arms for a long time, she slowly stood up, walked back to her chair, and continued to listen to the broadcast she had listened to countless times.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Little pear..."
