Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 55 Nan Li's Suspicion

Tian Yulan frowned and complained softly.

Nan Li was already holding a grudge, and when she heard Tian Yulan's complaints, she gradually felt uncomfortable.

But then she thought about how Tian Yulan had been busy with Xia Junshan's affairs not long ago and had indeed made a lot of efforts. She took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound calmer:
"Last time, when it came to choosing numbers, I just wanted to express my doubts. I didn't mean to maliciously speculate on the reason why Zhong Yi refused to accept Ziyou."

"But isn't that what you meant?" Tian Yulan's voice was soft, but it carried a subtle hint of grievance.

Nan Li was not to be outdone. She looked directly into Tian Yulan's eyes and asked, "Do you dare to pat your chest and guarantee that Zhong Yi has no such intention?"

After these words were spoken, Tian Yulan was also silenced.

She opened her cherry-like lips, wanting to retort, but couldn't find the right words to say.

Nan Li raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this and asked, "When did your relationship with Zhong Yi become so good?"

With a woman's keen intuition, Nan Li could clearly feel that the relationship between Tian Yulan and Zhong Yi was somewhat unusual, and there seemed to be no sense of distance between the two.

Considering Lin Yuan's lukewarm attitude towards Tian Yulan at the beginning, and the subtle change in Lin Yuan's attitude towards Tian Yulan now, plus Tian Yulan's inexplicable humming last morning, she felt that she seemed to have caught the tail of the truth.

Tian Yulan's eyes were a little evasive, and she said half-truthfully, "What's good or bad? I'm doing this for Ziyou. Teacher Zhong's teaching ability is so outstanding, where can I find someone to replace him?"

As he spoke, he smoothed his hair, trying to hide his guilty conscience.

"Yes, Zhong Yi's teaching ability is indeed beyond reproach." Nan Li raised the corners of her mouth slightly, pulling out a faint smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She said in a seemingly casual tone: "I forgot to ask you last time. After you went to Zhong Yi's house, you must have arrived home very late at night, right?"

"Fortunately, I went home after twelve o'clock." An unnatural look flashed across Tian Yulan's face, and her fingers twisted together unconsciously.

Nan Li tilted her head slightly, a barely perceptible cunning flashed in her eyes, and the corner of her mouth still had that faint smile, and she continued to test: "It's really hard for you. You have to toss and turn for so long at night, and you still have to go to work early in the morning."

"We are sisters, so we help each other. You see, Zhong Yi and I both made great efforts for Xia Junshan's matter last time, so just consider it as helping me this time."

Tian Yulan took Nan Li's hand, shook it gently, and smiled in agreement, hoping that Nan Li would continue with her topic.

Nan Li frowned slightly, and was not affected by Tian Yulan's words. Her expression became serious, and she said seriously: "But you didn't go home that night, and you didn't go to work the next morning."

"What do you mean? You investigated me!" Tian Yulan stood up suddenly like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She stood up angrily, her eyes wide open and full of indignation.

"I just want to remind you not to do anything out of line."

Nan Li looked at Tian Yulan seriously, with a complex expression of concern and warning in her eyes.

Tian Yulan's face turned blue and purple, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of shame and anger.

I am Tian Yulan, pure as ice and as innocent as jade!
There was no way she could accept this "slander" without evidence.

Just like last time in a couple hotel.

"You know our family. We only have two beds. One for You and one for Huan. Yan Peng still sleeps on the sofa. It was so late that day. Where could I sleep?"

Tian Yulan frowned, with a hint of helplessness and grievance in her eyes, and her voice unconsciously rose a few notes:
"I slept in the hotel downstairs from Zhong Yi's house for one night. Otherwise, why do you think I was able to get here so quickly in Zhong Yi's car at noon the next day?

And I told you I went to work because I didn't want you to feel guilty! I was busy with your affairs all night and didn't sleep well. What about you? Who do you think I am?"

Tian Yulan's explanation was well-reasoned; her expression, actions and words were perfectly combined together, making her like a child who had been wronged and was eager to defend herself.

Nan Li frowned. She always felt that things were not that simple, but she did not have any substantial evidence. Seeing Tian Yulan's overreaction, she sighed helplessly, "I am doing this for your own good."

Tian Yulan pursed her lips tightly, and her lips turned slightly pale. She snorted impatiently, and her tone was a little stiff: "Okay, just tell me if you are willing to make a statement."

"Zhong Yi wants to resign on his own initiative. What does it have to do with whether I issue a statement or not?" Nan Li complained in her heart, wondering if Tian Yulan has been possessed by a demon.

From the beginning to the end, no one forced Lin Yuan to leave. It was his own decision to resign.

Tian Yulan did not try to persuade Lin Yuan to stay, but instead asked herself to step forward. What was her intention?
If I release a clarification video as Tian Yulan requested at this time, does it mean that I think the cyberbullying I have suffered is not severe enough?
"Zhong Yi is still young and can't withstand so much online violence. As long as you come forward and say a word, all problems will be solved." There was a hint of urgency and coercion in Tian Yulan's eyes, as if Nan Li would be a heinous criminal if she didn't agree.

"What am I saying? Just because I say it, people will believe it." Nan Li retorted unhappily. She was in a very difficult situation and had been criticized by everyone. How could she have the energy to save Lin Yuan?

If Lin Yuan was really going to be fired because of some of her actions, then she might plead for Lin Yuan out of guilt.

But now Lin Yuan himself wants to resign, so why should she beg him to stay?

"Nan Li, you disappoint me so much." Tian Yulan gritted her teeth and said angrily. Then she picked up her bag angrily and walked towards the door with big strides.

She originally thought that with her efforts last time, she could easily get Nan Li's help.

Now that Nan Li was unwilling to help, there was no need for her to stay.

"Hey, why don't you stay for dinner?" Nan Li shouted from behind. Although she knew Tian Yulan would not stay, she still said it subconsciously.

"I'm full of anger."

Tian Yulan threw down these three words without even turning her head. All that could be heard was the sound of her high heels stomping rapidly on the ground, making a "thump thump thump" sound. Every step seemed to be venting her dissatisfaction to the people around her.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

At noon the next day, Nan Li made an appointment with Lin Yuan and Tian Yulan to meet at a place.

The reason for this has to start from the morning.

Early in the morning, Mi Tao's mother hurried over. She held Nan Li's hand and told her sincerely how important Lin Yuan was to Mi Tao.

Under Lin Yuan's guidance, Mi Tao's grades have improved significantly and she has become more confident and cheerful.

If Lin Yuan left, Mi Tao might fall into study difficulties again.

Mi Tao's mother had contacted Lin Yuan before, but Lin Yuan's attitude was very firm. He said that unless Nan Li released a clarification video, he would not continue to work at Zeshu.

Mi Tao's mother had no choice but to find Nan Li.

For Mi Tao's family, if Lin Yuan left Zeshu, Mi Tao would not only lose the resource of a good teacher, but even the discount for the two new courses she signed up for last time might be cancelled.

Naturally, Mi Tao's mother didn't want to see this happen.

Although Nan Li was reluctant to release a clarification video from the bottom of her heart, but thinking of Yan Ziyu and Mi Tao, she also wanted to persuade Lin Yuan to stay.

……

Nan Li walked slowly towards the box with her graceful figure in her high-heeled shoes, making crisp and rhythmic sounds.

The last time she wore this pair of shoes, her ankles were rubbed so hard that she felt unbearable pain. She still feels the excruciating pain, so she deliberately wore flesh-colored stockings this time.

The thin flesh-colored stockings not only cleverly covered up the minor scars left on her ankles, but also added a subtle sexiness to her.

When she gently pushed open the door of the box and walked in, she found that Lin Yuan and Tian Yulan had already arrived.
