Chapter 1067: 276: Upon learning the truth, filled with immense regret (twenty-fifth update)_3

Upon hearing this, Zuo Ling’s eyes lit up.

Three years of feelings for Shangguan Xi, maybe she really would forgive him?

The mother and son hurried back to the spot they had been at, and luckily, Shangguan Xi and Ni Yang were still there.

"Xiaoxi, my good child, why are you here?" Zuo’s mother approached and tapped on the car window, looking urgently at Shangguan Xi.

Zuo Ling said, "Xiaoxi, I was wrong. Please forgive me! Can we start over, please? Give me a chance, and from now on, I’ll do anything you say..."

Shangguan Xi gave them a cold glance, "Get lost!"

Then she floored the gas pedal, and the car took off, leaving the Zuo family mother and son in a cloud of dust.

Realizing there was no chance of reconciliation, the mother and son sat down on the ground and broke into loud sobs.

Ni Yang gave a thumbs-up to Shangguan Xi, "Sister Xiaoxi, that was impressive, your driving is getting better and better."

Shangguan Xi said a bit sheepishly, "I don’t know what came over me just now; suddenly, I drove so well."

Ni Yang continued, "By the way, was that old lady we saw earlier Zuo Ling’s mother?"

Shangguan Xi nodded.

Ni Yang went on, "From her looks, that old lady is no easy customer. Don’t get fooled by them again."

Shangguan Xi said without words, "Yangyang, do I look like a fool to you?"

She wasn’t stupid enough to be tricked by Zuo Ling again!

Besides, it seemed like she was starting to like someone else now.

Thinking of that person, a smile touched Shangguan Xi’s brows.

Seeing this, Ni Yang felt relieved.

Wu Yanyun had been coming home very late these days, which deeply worried Wu Jinshu, so he decided to wait for her at the Community entrance.

He wouldn’t have known how bad it was if he hadn’t waited; he was shocked!

Wu Yanyun wasn’t coming back with a female classmate but was being dropped off by a young man on a motorbike.

Seeing this, Wu Jinshu was furious, and he reached out to stop the motorbike, "Yanyun! Get off now!"

Wu Yanyun, who was in the back seat, was startled, "Dad..."

"Come here!"

Wu Yanyun hesitated, then walked behind Wu Jinshu.

Wu Jinshu pointed at Wei Haoguang, the motorbike rider, and said, "Young man! Our Yanyun is a good girl, she needs to study hard. Please don’t come looking for her again! Otherwise, I’ll hit you every time I see you!"

Wei Haoguang was also scared, and he took off on his motorbike, making a U-turn to flee!

Wu Yanyun frowned and said, "Dad! What were you just saying? Wei Haoguang is just a friend! How am I supposed to face my friends after what you just did?"

"Yanyun!" Wu Jinshu said, "You are still a student! As a student, you should behave like one. What does it look like, hanging out with these kinds of dubious people all the time? I forbid you to associate with them from now on!"

"And another thing, tell me the truth. Have you not been going to your classmates’ houses to study recently? Have you been hanging out with these people all this time?"

"It’s none of your business! You have no right to interfere with who I am friends with!" Wu Yanyun turned and stormed off.

Wu Jinshu sighed and followed behind her.

Once home, Yan Erju noticed the father and daughter both looked upset, so she asked what was wrong.

Wu Jinshu looked at Wu Yanyun, "You ask her!"

Wu Yanyun snorted and walked to her room, backpack slung over her shoulder.

Didn’t she even have the right to choose her friends now?

Wu Jinshu didn’t understand Wei Haoguang at all. What right did he have to think so badly of him?

Just because she wasn’t their biological child, did that mean they could treat her like this?

"What exactly happened?" Since Yan Erju dared not upset Wu Yanyun, she had to keep asking Wu Jinshu.

Wu Jinshu repeated what he had just witnessed.

Yan Erju’s mouth hung open in surprise after hearing this.

Wu Jinshu continued, "This child is really too confused! How can she hang out with that kind of person? She’s a girl, after all. What if she gets taken advantage of? And when I tell her, she actually gets unhappy! She’s really become uncontrollable!"

Yan Erju sighed.

Just then, the phone in the house started to ring.

Yan Erju walked over to answer it.

After recognizing the voice on the other end of the line, Yan Erju said with a smile, "Oh, it’s Teacher Zhou. You were saying..."

The call lasted for over half an hour.

After hanging up, the smile on Yan Erju’s face disappeared completely, leaving her face clouded with worry.

Teacher Zhou was Wu Yanyun’s homeroom teacher.

She said that Wu Yanyun’s grades had recently plummeted severely, falling from second in the class all the way down to near the bottom.

What did being near the bottom mean?

It meant that Wu Yanyun might not even get into a community college.

After calming down, the couple earnestly implored Wu Yanyun throughout the evening, but she still came home very late the next day.

"Did you go riding motorcycles with that disreputable youth again?" Wu Jinshu asked.

Wu Yanyun glared at Wu Jinshu, "I’ll say it again, Wei Haoguang is my friend, and he is not disreputable!"

Yan Erju tried to mediate from inside, "Xiaoyun, your dad didn’t mean that. He just feels that your current task is to focus on your studies. Once you get into a good university, you can hang out with whoever you want. We won’t be interfering then..."

Yan Erju hadn’t finished her sentence when Wu Yanyun interrupted her, "I don’t need you to intervene even now!"

The next day Wu Yanyun simply skipped classes.

Wu Jinshu, beside himself with anger, abandoned his work and went out to find Wu Yanyun. After searching the entire afternoon, he finally located her.

When he arrived at the scene, Wu Jinshu almost went mad with fury!

Drinking!

Wu Yanyun was actually drinking!

Wu Jinshu grabbed a glass of alcohol and splashed it harshly on Wu Yanyun’s face, "Come back home with me!"

"I won’t go back!" Wu Yanyun glared back at Wu Jinshu, "I’m already of age! You have no right to control my life!"

"Come back with me!" Wu Jinshu grabbed Wu Yanyun’s wrist in one movement.

After much difficulty, they managed to bring Wu Yanyun back home, where she sat crying and making a commotion.

Why couldn’t she drink?

Even Ni Yang had drunk when he graduated from high school last year, so why couldn’t she?

Everything she did was wrong!

She felt like she shouldn’t exist in this world at all.

Yan Erju tried to reason with Wu Yanyun in a gentle, persuasive manner, but Wu Yanyun simply wouldn’t listen.

The next day, Wu Yanyun stubbornly refused to go to school.

She would agree to go to school on one condition!

Her parents couldn’t intervene in her choice of friends!

She wanted to be with Wei Haoguang.

Having no other option, Wu Jinshu had no choice but to find Ni Yang, "Yangyang, I know I shouldn’t be coming to you at this time, but I’m really at my wit’s end. Xiaoyun is just too stubborn. Please, help me persuade her."
