Lan Yazhen couldn't stay at Tenglann High School to continue her studies. Life at home was challenging, with her parents showing different faces and relatives whispering criticisms behind her back.
She vowed to get into a good school and prove them wrong.
However, it was all in vain, and she barely scraped into a mediocre local school. Her family members were upset, feeling that Lan Yazhen had embarrassed them.
Brother Gu's verbal concern was gradually wearing on her nerves. He kept showing up unexpectedly and even taking her out for milk tea, which she no longer enjoyed.
Gu Jingkui was like a sticky candy; she couldn't quite shake him off, so she just tried to avoid him.
Things were more relaxed on Qiann Yan's side. The company was thriving and no longer as busy, allowing her spare time to jog in the morning and practice some boxing exercises. During one of these sessions, she met Lin Shanghuai, who started inviting her for morning runs.
