"Apology"

The incident had blown up so big that even the school authorities were alerted, and now Liu Yue was being forced to apologize.

Thus, Liu Yue eventually had to kneel down and reluctantly apologize to Yang Xuehua under everyone’s demands, filled with hatred but helpless.

Luo Mingzhe’s face bore an apologetic look, but his heart was also very displeased, feeling furious about Liu Yue’s behavior.

Afterward, Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua went back home. It was not until Yang Xuehua got home that she suddenly laughed out loud, "I finally feel avenged."

Yes, she had been broken off an engagement, and although she no longer cared about Luo Mingzhe, seeing him happily paired up while she suffered due to her status, it was a lie to say Xuehua didn’t mind it.

She minded, but she never thought about revenge; she simply didn’t want anything to do with that couple, yet first Luo Mingzhe and then Liu Yue came looking for her.

Luo Mingzhe was at least pragmatic. Ever since he learned that Yang Xuehua was married, and to a military man at that, he would occasionally stare at Yang Xuehua but didn’t seek her out anymore.

Moreover, Luo Mingzhe was dedicated to the literary club and was even planning to run for student council president, so he no longer paid much attention to Yang Xuehua.

But unexpectedly, a lapse allowed Liu Yue to irrationally make a scene.

Xia Xiao also laughed along, "Luo Mingzhe must be fuming now. He was the top candidate for the student council president, but after today, it’s hard to say."

Yang Xuehua nodded, "Judging by his efforts recently, publishing articles nearly every day, I can see how much he values the position of student council president. After today, it’s all gone to waste."

"But some might sympathize with him," Xia Xiao said.

"Who cares, now that Liu Yue has kneeled down today, that little bit of concern I had hidden in my heart has also dissipated like smoke," Yang Xuehua said, looking at the clear sky with a radiant smile.

Xia Xiao smiled and said no more.

And as they had thought, Luo Mingzhe was near to exploding with anger. He took Liu Yue back home, which resulted in an intense argument between the couple. Their child cried out, frightened, and it even alarmed both sets of parents.

The Luo family was discontented with Liu Yue upon hearing of the situation. Their son was running for student council president, yet their daughter-in-law was unsupportive, even hindering him, which displeased them.

On the Liu family’s side, although they also felt that Liu Yue had indeed gone too far, the fact that Luo Mingzhe had made Liu Yue apologize to Yang Xuehua also upset them.

Both the Luo family and the Liu family were unhappy, especially the Luo family, who over the years had considered it their greatest fortune that Luo Mingzhe had broken off the engagement with Yang Xuehua.

But now, seeing Yang Xuehua doing well on her own, marrying well, they felt some sourness in their hearts.

Luo Mingzhe’s mother and Yang Xuehua’s mother used to be close friends, so at this point, she remarked, "Xuehua has married well, and we’re relieved."

When this was said, the Liu family had already left, but Liu Yue was there. Upon hearing her mother-in-law’s words, Liu Yue felt angry inside, but she also knew she was at fault this time, so she endured it.

Before, Luo Mingzhe’s mother had been as close to Liu Yue as a mother to her daughter, but ever since Liu Yue and Luo Mingzhe moved back to the Capital, living together had caused more conflicts.

Mrs. Luo really couldn’t stand Liu Yue. However, for the sake of her grandson, she tolerated it, but after today, Mrs. Luo’s dislike for Liu Yue had grown even stronger.

Following this event, Luo Mingzhe’s influence in the school indeed decreased. Whereas many had esteemed him before, that admiration now waned considerably.

Although some sympathized with Luo Mingzhe, there were those who felt he had brought it upon himself. However, in the end, in the final round for the student council president election, Luo Mingzhe lost to his opponent by just two votes.

It showed just how much support Luo Mingzhe had previously had. If not for Liu Yue’s drama, he would have securely been the student council president.

But even though Luo Mingzhe didn’t win the student council president, he still had the title of literary club president, yet that was no longer of any concern to Yang Xuehua and Xia Xiao.

After the summer vacation, Xia Xiao, Gao Jiaxing, Gao Guoqiang, and Zheng Xianghong took their children to City S, mainly because Gao Jiazhi and Weilin were there, so the whole family went together.

Meanwhile, Yang Xuehua was picked up by Yu Shijie and taken to their newly purchased house, where they began living a cozy life as a couple.

Since Yang Xuehua was pregnant, Yu Shijie took great care of her, even doing the laundry and cooking.

Yang Xuehua wasn’t delicate and occasionally helped Yu Shijie; the couple was living happily.

Whenever Yu Shijie had to return to the military academy, he would send Yang Xuehua to their rented home. Although Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao weren’t there, the landlord was, and with someone to look after her, Yu Shijie felt somewhat relieved.

Yu Shijie did think about sending Yang Xuehua back to the Yu family to rest, but he didn’t feel at ease since she wouldn’t be under his watchful eye, and Yang Xuehua also didn’t want to stay at the Yu family for her confinement; she remembered Yu Zhen wasn’t fond of her.

In the rented house, she felt more comfortable.

Back in City S, Xia Xiao’s arrival stirred up excitement. Weilin was now studying there, and Mr. Xue would pick her up daily.

Mr. Xue was getting on in years, and his health wasn’t great, his spirits not always high, but since Gao Jiazhi and Weilin had come, he’d perked up, his mood delightfully uplifted every day.

Weilin was already capable of taking care of others. Whenever Gao Jiazhi was at school, Weilin would cook and do laundry, looking after Mr. Xue and being incredibly well-behaved.

One day, while Weilin was cooking, she heard someone knocking at the door. Upon opening, she saw Gao Guoqiang, Zheng Xianghong, Xia Xiao, and Gao Jiaxing; her eyes went red with excitement, and she hurriedly greeted, "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Auntie, Feiyang, Feiyue, Feiyi, Feiteng, Spirit."

Then she hurled herself into Zheng Xianghong’s arms, "I’ve missed you so much."

"Oh, Weilin, you’ve grown taller," Zheng Xianghong exclaimed cheerily.

Xia Xiao had come with her family to her grandmother’s home. After putting away the luggage and greeting her grandparents, she then took her family to see Weilin.

"Come here, let Auntie hold you," Xia Xiao said as she transferred Spirit into Gao Jiaxing’s arms and embraced Weilin.

Gao Jiaxing held a child in each arm; although Feiyi and Feiteng were seven or eight months old and not yet walking, holding both was no trouble for him.

"You’ve come," Mr. Xue said as he came out from inside, hearing the voices, "What are you doing at the door? Please, come in." He then added, "Jiazhi just stepped out; he’ll be back soon."
