On Wednesday afternoon, Xiang Nan, Fangyuan, Lei'er, and Tong Wenjie participated in the school's activity - getting to know families.
Before the event officially started, hundreds of students and their parents gathered in the indoor gymnasium. It was crowded and noisy.
"That's Fang Yifan?! Is he the one who rejected Harvard University's invitation?"
"His cousin is also a top student?! The feng shui of this family is also very good."
"Oh, how do these parents raise their children? They are so promising!"
"Don't he have two heads? Why is he so popular?"
"Who is the girl he likes? She must be so good-looking that he made such a big sacrifice."
When Xiang Nan, Lei'er, Fangyuan, and Tong Wenjie's family of four entered the gymnasium, the parents started pointing and talking.
There is no way, Xiang Nan's light has indeed been too strong in recent days.
First, he was forced to drop out of school because of his love affair, which made his parents feel sorry for him and thought that the child's life was ruined.
But within a few days, Harvard University invited him to enroll, which surprised these parents. What they didn't expect was that Xiang Nan actually refused the invitation. This is even more remarkable!
…
The Fang family has long been used to being discussed.
Before, when Xiang Nan took a break from school, people in the community talked a lot about it.
However, at the beginning, most people expressed regret, ridicule, and gossip, but now, most people express envy and jealousy.
But no matter what, Fangyuan and Tong Wenjie have been able to control their emotions, and they can turn a blind eye or not hear when they see other people gossiping about their family.
The indoor gymnasium was not big, and soon the Fang family and the Qiao family met.
Fangyuan and Qiao Weidong greeted warmly.
"Hey, why are you here too?"
"I'm a parent too, why can't I come?"
Song Qian and Tong Wenjie looked at each other, neither of them willing to speak to the other first.
This state of mutual respect made the surrounding air drop several degrees instantly.
Xiang Nan and Yingzi looked at each other and took the opportunity to express their affection.
Song Qian noticed it quickly, grabbed her daughter's arm and pulled her away forcefully.
Seeing this, Qiao Weidong had no choice but to say goodbye to Fangyuan and quickly chased after him.
"What, my son is so powerful and you still look down on him?" Tong Wenjie said angrily, "I want to open my eyes wide and see what kind of good son-in-law you can choose in the future!"
"Well, you women are really interesting. You are usually as good as real sisters, but you fall out over the smallest things. No wonder we call you 'plastic sisters'." Fang Yuan teased with a smile.
"Don't gloat about someone else's misfortune." Tong Wenjie rolled his eyes at him, "I'm very sad to lose such a best friend. But if she doesn't accept Fanfan, I won't reconcile with her.
We ordinary people are so amazing. We can easily go to Harvard and Oxford. How many people in China can do that? We didn't pick Yingzi, but she still dislikes us. It's simply unreasonable! "
"Mom, we can just settle the matter between Yingzi and I ourselves." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "You and Aunt Song have been friends for more than ten years. It's a shame to break up like this. Let's find an opportunity to turn our hostility into friendship. .”
"Look, we Fanfan are so sensible." Tong Wenjie rubbed his son's head and praised, "Why wouldn't Song Qian look down on such a considerate child?"
"Mom, why did you come back again?" Xiang Nan was speechless.
…
After Professor Sun Yi took the stage, he explained the meaning and rules of the "Understanding Family" activity and gave some suggestions.
The main thing is to hope that parents and children can communicate sincerely, communicate frankly, listen to each other, and give each other a chance to vent.
After the explanation, the event was officially held.
Xiang Nan, Lei'er, Fangyuan, Tong Wenjie and others came to the corridor outside the classroom to wait.
"Son, what do you want to say later?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile.
"To be honest, there's not much to say." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Our family is usually very democratic, and I talk to you about everything. There is nothing that needs to be discussed now."
"That's right." Fang Yuan smiled and nodded.
After a while, it was their turn.
"Come on, Lei'er, let's go together." Tong Wenjie pulled Lei'er and said.
"Auntie, you and your uncle should go first and let your cousin talk about what's on his mind." Lei'er waved his hand, "I'd better wait outside."
"No, let's go in together." Fang Yuan also said politely.
"Dad, Mom, let Lei'er wait outside." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "He also has something to say, but he's too embarrassed to say it in front of us."
Upon hearing this, Tong Wenjie nodded.
Lei'er only has a blood relationship with her and Fanfan, and can only be regarded as an outsider to Fangyuan. It is indeed inconvenient to tell him some of my inner thoughts.
…
The three of them then entered the classroom and sat down, back to back, facing the mirror.
"Son, you can tell me what's on your mind." Fang Yuan said with a smile.
"Dad, what's on my mind?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "In the past six months, I haven't hidden anything from you. I even admitted my puppy love. What other big secrets can I have? Do you two have anything to say to me?"
"..." Fangyuan and Tong Wenjie were silent for a moment.
"Okay, then I'll say it." Fangyuan coughed lightly, "Son, actually I resigned from the company a month ago."
"Resign?!" Xiang Nan was stunned and blinked. Is this historical inertia so strong?
"The boss of the new company asked me to be responsible for layoffs. I couldn't bear to do it to my siblings, so I resigned myself." Fang Yuan explained, "Son, I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your expectations."
"It's okay, Dad, I know you don't like doing business." Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, our family is rich now, so you can just resign. However, I suggest you find a job for yourself. Do something, otherwise people will easily become useless once they are idle.”
"I think so too." Fang Yuan nodded and said, "In the past month, I was afraid that you would find out that I had been visiting the bird market, but I ended up getting tired of it. So you are right, I really have to find something for myself. Done."
"Okay, dad, as long as you know what's going on." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
"Okay, it's my turn." Tong Wenjie took a breath and said, "Son, Xiao Jin is back again, and he replaced Jenny and became my boss."
"When did it happen?" Xiang Nan asked quickly after hearing this.
"It just happened in the past two days." Tong Wenjie explained, "I also found that she seemed to have a close relationship with Raymond."
"It's not surprising." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Raymond is the son-in-law of a wealthy family. Life must be difficult. Cheating is normal. Xiao Jin is young and beautiful, and he is determined to climb up. The two of them When we coo together, it’s completely normal.”
