Chapter 26 Parting on bad terms
What Tian Yulan cares about is the quota, while what Nan Li cares about is Nan Jianlong's attitude.

Normally, Nan Li has always been too disdainful to lower herself to compete with Tian Yulan.

She has her own pride and confidence, and she knows that she is different from Tian Yulan and has a blood relationship with her. No matter when and where, her father will definitely be on her side.

But at this moment, the originally firm belief began to waver.

But in Tian Yulan's eyes, she felt that Nan Jianlong and Nan Li were just acting.

She had no intention of continuing to perform with them.

"Uncle Nan, since you didn't give District Chief Huanhuan a spot, how did they know Huanhuan's name? Can you explain it yourself?"

Tian Yulan's tone was full of questioning and dissatisfaction.

Nan Jianlong showed an embarrassed look on his face. He hesitated, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't say anything.

He himself didn't understand why things turned out like this.

He did not mention Xia Huanhuan, and he also found this very strange.

Tian Yulan's heart was filled with rage. Did they really treat her, Tian Yulan, as a fool?

Without saying a word, she held Yan Ziyu tightly, turned around and left, not wanting to stay here any longer.

“Lanlan, Lanlan,” Cai Juying saw Tian Yulan was about to leave, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, with a hint of pleading in her voice, “Your Uncle Nan really wants to help you, Lanlan…”

Her daughter is dissatisfied and resentful towards her husband, and she feels very uncomfortable being caught in the middle. She also doesn't want any rift to arise between the two of them.

However, what responded to her was.

Tian Yulan walked away quickly without looking back, her steps firm and resolute.

After Tian Yulan left, the air around them seemed to freeze, and the silence was depressing.

Nan Li stood there quietly, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. After a moment, she asked:

"Dad, you gave the only spot to Ziyou, and Huanhuan was able to enter the intensive class only because of a mistake over there?"

Nan Jianlong frowned and nodded with a worried look on his face, his movements seeming a little heavy.

"After all, there is only one spot available."

"So there is only one spot and you gave it to Ziyou?" Nan Li spoke slowly, her voice was very cold, exuding a hint of chill.

"They said Ziyou was anxious, and Huanhuan could go or not..."

Nan Jianlong's voice was low and slow, with a hint of helplessness and guilt, and he did not dare to look Nan Li directly in the eye.

Cai Juying also nodded in agreement.

"Why can Huanhuan choose to go to school or not?" Nan Li's anger was instantly ignited, and her voice rose several decibels: "Because she didn't get into the selection, she was laughed at by other students at school, and she is treated differently by you when she returns home."

Thinking of the injustices Huanhuan suffered at school, she really could not accept her father's contempt for Huanhuan.

Seeing the tense atmosphere that was almost frozen, Cai Juying panicked and said anxiously, "Lili, calm down and sit down first. We are all family. I will go prepare dinner first and we can talk while we eat."

"What are you eating!" Nan Li roared, and the sound was like a thunder exploding in the house.

Her face was livid and her eyes were burning with anger.

Then, she held Xia Huanhuan tightly with her left hand and Xia Chaochao with her right hand, and shouted, "Go home."

Xia Huanhuan and Xia Chaochao were frightened by Nan Li's momentum and followed their mother obediently, not daring to resist at all.

Seeing this, Xia Junshan immediately walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand and gently pulled Nan Li's arm, and persuaded her: "Li Li, Dad does not have anything else to say? Let's listen to Dad finish his words."

"Go ahead and I'm listening." Nan Li stopped, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and stared at Nan Jianlong closely: "I'll give you another chance. Who should I give this spot to? Tell me."

"I...she...this..." Nan Jianlong opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. It was a difficult problem of choosing between two options. No matter who was chosen, one of them would be hurt.

He was also very painful and conflicted inside.

"He's really my dear father and grandpa." Nan Li sneered, and her voice was full of sarcasm and disappointment.

I don’t know whether I was laughing at my own naivety or at my father’s favoritism.

She took the hands of Huanhuan and Chaochao, the two siblings, and turned around and left resolutely.

"Let's go home and eat."

Xia Junshan also sighed and chased after him.

It was supposed to be a warm family gathering, but it ended up in a quarrel.

Nan Jianlong sat there quietly, his back slightly hunched, as if he had suddenly aged a lot.

Cai Juying's face was also full of worry. She rubbed her hands nervously, her eyes full of heartache and helplessness. She looked at Nan Jianlong, wanting to say something to comfort him, but didn't know where to start.

……

Tian Yulan's home.

Yan Peng has already learned that Yan Ziyu failed to enter the gold medal class.

However, he didn't think there was anything wrong. On the contrary, he felt very happy. This meant that Ziyou could have more time to relax and rest every week.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Ziyou is a good student. We don't need to worry about him."

"If you can't even get into the gold medal class, how can you strive for Hanlin? One point difference means thousands of troops and forces, and you just don't take it seriously." Seeing Yan Peng's lack of interest in the child's studies, Tian Yulan rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.

Yan Peng said helplessly: "Dad only has one spot, and he has already given it to Xia Huanhuan. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, she is our biological child."

It’s amazing that Tian Yulan calls Nan Jianlong "Uncle Nan", but Yan Peng simply calls him "Dad".

Speaking of this, Tian Yulan was full of resentment: "Ziyou has been called grandpa for so many years, but it's really in vain. Can't he tell which one is more valuable, the gold medal class or the intensive class?"

Yan Peng coughed twice, then whispered, "What are you saying in front of the child?"

"He dares to do it, is he afraid of what I say?"

…………

Nan Li's home.

Nan Li had just coaxed Xia Huanhuan, who was crying bitterly, to sleep.

There were still traces of tears on Huanhuan's little face, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly. Nan Li gently stroked Huanhuan's hair, her eyes full of pity.

After Xia Huanhuan came back, she kept asking if grandpa no longer liked me because of my poor grades.

This made Nan Li feel particularly distressed.

Xia Junshan looked at this scene with a deep sorrow in his heart. He walked to Nan Li and comforted her softly, "You are the one who makes you feel miserable. Dad is in a difficult situation too. Besides, the spot will eventually go to Huanhuan."

Nan Li cried, her voice full of grievance and unwillingness: "The palm is the palm, and the back of the hand is the back of the hand. Can't he tell the difference? If he hadn't mixed it up, we would have been kept in the dark by him forever."

Xia Junshan advised: "Think about it, Aunt Cai is with Dad every day, he might know the news first, and he can't refuse."

"If he wants to refuse, there are plenty of ways." Nan Li pursed her lips tightly, feeling aggrieved: "I just can't swallow this. Why should Huanhuan be sacrificed in his eyes?"
