The next morning, Wan Yunting, who had slept on the living room sofa, opened his eyes to see that it was already six-thirty.
He was supposed to report to Xingyao Elementary School at eight o'clock sharp, so Wan Yunting had to rush back to change clothes before heading there.
He opened the room door and saw Niu Qiuling lying on the bed in her bathrobe, sleeping comfortably and very openly. Wan Yunting did not go in to disturb her sweet dream. He quietly closed the door, picked up his phone and car keys from the living room table, and left directly.
As he went downstairs and out of the hotel entrance, it was early morning. The bar next door was still open, and cleaning ladies were constantly dragging out garbage and empty bottles from inside...
Wan Yunting lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then drove directly back to his second brother's house.
Arriving at the entrance of his second brother's villa, it was already seven o'clock in the morning. Wan Yunting opened the door and went in, finding Wang Chulin tending to the flowers and plants in the yard. "Third brother, why are you back so early?"
"Good morning, second sister-in-law."
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "I have to report to school later, so I came back to change clothes."
"What time?"
"I have to be at school by eight..."
"Then I'll quickly make breakfast..."
"No need, second sister-in-law. I'll grab something to eat on the way. You don't need to rush so early..."
With that, Wan Yunting entered the villa, went up to the second floor, returned to his room, grabbed some clothes, and went to take a shower...
By seven-thirty, seeing that his niece Wan'er was still asleep, Wan Yunting quietly went in to check on her, then came out and went downstairs. Wang Chulin was already busy in the kitchen, and breakfast was almost ready.
However, Wan Yunting no longer had time. He said goodbye and left directly, driving away from the villa complex...
Xingyao Elementary School is located at No. 438 Xingdong Road, in a prosperous area. Early in the morning, a group of elementary school students had gathered at the school entrance. Luxurious cars and vans of all kinds were parked on both sides of the main road, indicating that these students were from wealthy families.
Xingyao Elementary School is a key aristocratic school in Huadu City. Families who can send their children here to study are generally well-off, as the tuition fee for just one semester is as high as fifty to sixty thousand yuan, which is not affordable for ordinary families.
"Mom, I'm going in now."
A little girl with a ladylike hairstyle, wearing a red bow and a school uniform skirt, named Song Moyi, appeared to be only eight years old and was a third-grader. She looked very gentle, especially with her pale little face, unlike other children whose faces were rosy and full of color. It was clear that this little girl was very weak.
"Remember to listen to your teacher. If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, you must tell the teacher promptly so she can give you medicine, okay?"
A woman dressed in a professional suit, named Ruan Xingwen, is the chairman of Song Group. She looks only in her thirties, with a tall figure and a fitted OL outfit, highlighting her mature young woman's temperament and the capable aura of a seasoned businesswoman. She is clearly a strong woman.
"Okay, I understand, Mom."
Her daughter, Song Moyi, was well-behaved and quiet. Ruan Xingwen watched her walk into the school with concern in her eyes. Because her daughter had suffered from heart disease since birth, she had always been extremely careful with her. However, her daughter had to go to school, so Ruan Xingwen never forgot to instruct her carefully every day when she sent her to school.
Song Moyi, who enrolled in the third grade this year, was assigned to Class 3. She, along with a few of her little friends, happily walked towards their classroom...
Meanwhile, in the faculty building of Xingyao Elementary School, on the third floor, there was a Traditional Chinese Medicine teacher's office, specifically designated for teachers responsible for teaching TCM.
In the office at this moment, Gu Yuanbai, who served as the leader of the TCM teachers, was chatting with the principal of Xingyao Elementary School.
Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao had also arrived early with their grandfather. At the same time, Song Sinan, Zhang Xiaoyu, Wei Renxin, and a few other teachers had also arrived early. However, some others had not yet arrived, including Ye Zhaohui...
"Doctor Wan, you're here..."
Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao were chatting with Song Sinan and the others when Wan Yunting walked in, waving and smiling at everyone. "Hello, teachers..."
"Hehe, we have to call you teachers now," Qi Miaomiao said with a sweet laugh.
Gu Luotang nodded with a smile, her eyes never leaving Wan Yunting as he approached.
"Everyone, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wei Renxin, and I'm from Jiang City..."
Wei Renxin, who was slightly overweight and looked honest and sincere, took the initiative to introduce himself to everyone.
"My name is Zhang Xiaoyu, I'm from Qing City. You can just call me Xiaoyu from now on..." Zhang Xiaoyu was a lively girl who waved and introduced herself with a smile.
"My name is Song Sinan."
Song Sinan, next to her, was not as lively. She glanced at Wan Yunting and said calmly and concisely, "I'm from Yuan City!"
The others also introduced themselves one after another so that everyone could get to know each other, as they would be colleagues from now on.
Finally, it was Wan Yunting's turn. He smiled warmly at everyone and said, "My name is Wan Yunting, and I'm from Huadu City. I hope everyone will take care of me."
"We've heard of you. The news said you were wrongly imprisoned!" Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly pointed at him and said.
Gu Luotang was startled, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She didn't expect Zhang Xiaoyu to mention the man being in jail in front of everyone!
"Yes."
However, Wan Yunting admitted it generously and indifferently, smiling. "I spent seven years in prison. I was released at the end of last month."
"Oh my goodness, seven years, what was that like?"
Zhang Xiaoyu was like a curious girl. She wasn't trying to embarrass Wan Yunting by bringing this up; she was simply impressed by his imprisonment and was asking out of curiosity.
"What else could it feel like? I was very panicked at first, but after I got used to life inside, it was much better," Wan Yunting said with a natural smile. This was the first time he had spoken to outsiders about his daily life in prison.
Zhang Xiaoyu was about to ask something else, but then a few figures walked in from outside, it was Ye Zhaohui and the others. Seeing Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, Song Sinan, and the others, Ye Zhaohui looked arrogant, with a slight smile on his lips as he greeted them, "You all came quite early."
Seeing Ye Zhaohui from the Ye family in Zhong City, Song Sinan, Zhang Xiaoyu, and Wei Renxin remained silent...
Only Wan Yunting nodded to him politely as a greeting.
But this Ye Zhaohui was so arrogant that he completely ignored Wan Yunting. He walked directly towards Gu Luotang and said, "Teacher Luotang, let's add each other on WeChat."
Gu Luotang's pretty face was stunned. Her first reaction was to look at Wan Yunting beside her, as if a girlfriend was asking her boyfriend's opinion on whether to let someone add her WeChat.
This made Wan Yunting smile awkwardly. Gu Luotang's gaze was too easy to misunderstand...
