Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out
Chapter 108 Crisis
If the Yan family furniture cannot survive this crisis, even if it does not collapse, it will probably suffer a severe blow.
When Zhang Yu was busy writing a feasibility study report on potential risks in the future and was almost exhausted from dealing with it, Nan Jianlong's invitation came, inviting him to a family dinner for the Dragon Boat Festival, to taste fragrant tea and enjoy green rice dumplings.
Zhang Yu, who had no intention of going to the appointment, accepted the invitation out of consideration for Yan Ziyu and attended the holiday dinner with Tian Yulan.
During this period, Yan Ziyou studied harder, as if to please Tian Yulan with excellent grades and make her give up the idea of divorce. Seeing such a sensible son, Zhang Yu was deeply relieved but also felt sorry. He often used football to relieve the pressure of his child, and the whole family shared weekends together, gradually fading the shadow of the impending divorce.
Faced with all this, although Tian Yulan cooperated with Zhang Yu's action plan, whenever the two were alone, she always had a cold face and spoke very little.
In fact, Zhang Yu knew that their relationship could not be reversed, and the only remaining force came from Yan Ziyou, who kept him going. Recently, he often slept on the sofa in the living room, and although he was physically strong, he seemed to be struggling.
As for the "mission that cannot be abandoned", Zhang Yu had already lost hope and could only accept the result. Especially when it came to helping Cai Juying find herself, he had already begun to think about giving up.
Fortunately, the failure to complete the mission did not bring any substantial consequences, at least there was no need to worry about it. The Dragon Boat Festival holiday soon arrived, and Zhang Yu was busy preparing in the morning. At the same time, Tian Yulan took the trouble to bring some gifts to Nan Jianlong's house.
He drove his Mercedes-Benz directly to the outside of Nan Jianlong's residential area, ignoring Tian Yulan's desire to keep a low profile (actually it was mainly because she opposed it), and stopped the car and waited. Xia Junshan's car arrived later, but unfortunately the parking space was full, so he had to park the car in the open space next to it and challenged Yan Peng, that is, Zhang Yu, through the car window.
Xia Junshan exclaimed: "Yan Peng, your Mercedes-Benz S-Class must have cost a million, rich people are different." Zhang Yu responded with a smile: "My father asked me to use this car temporarily."
Hearing this, Xia Junshan showed some envy and sighed, "They are indeed a wealthy family." Nan Li, who was listening on the side, looked a little dissatisfied and looked at the luxury car driven by Zhang Yu with a little disdain.
Tian Yulan's mood improved slightly, and her previous anger at Zhang Yu's insistence on driving a luxury car dissipated a lot. In fact, Xia Junshan was more envious than jealous. Then he left to look for a parking space.
Zhang Yu carried a gift and walked into Nan Jianlong's home holding the child's hand. Nan Jianlong had been waiting outside the door, and when he saw the group of people, he smiled but his enthusiasm dropped significantly.
"Ziyou, your grandma must be waiting anxiously!" Nan Jianlong patted Yan Ziyou affectionately, and then invited Zhang Yu's family to come in.
After Tian Yulan opened the door, Nan Li's family immediately stepped forward, and Nan Jianlong ran to greet Xiao Xia Chaochao and picked him up. Zhang Yu patted Tian Yulan to comfort her, hoping that she would relax.
However, Tian Yulan was reluctant to let Zhang Yu touch her, so she moved aside awkwardly. Zhang Yu knew that he should not make trouble for himself, so he led his son into the house.
Cai Juying came from the kitchen upon hearing the noise, and enthusiastically prepared slippers for them with a smile on her face. Yan Ziyou ran straight to her and called out "Grandma", with a look of anticipation on his face.
Seeing this scene, Cai Juying's face wrinkled deeper and she looked particularly happy. She carried Yan Ziyou into the house and prepared some snacks for him. After Nan Li's family entered the house, Cai Juying put Yan Ziyou down and went to take care of everyone.
Seeing her mother lowering her head to change Nan Li's shoes, Tian Yulan's expression changed instantly. At this time, the children in the room were laughing, but the adults were relatively silent. They didn't have much to talk about when they sat on the sofa.
Zhang Yu sat aside, took out his cell phone, and had no time to chat with anyone.
At the same time, Nan Jianlong was enjoying making tea with the children in the outer courtyard and interacting with them enthusiastically.
Nan Li and Tian Yulan, who were sitting opposite each other, were sipping tea from their cups. The taste was dull and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle. Xia Junshan, who wanted to liven up the atmosphere, frowned slightly when he saw that Zhang Yu was not going to talk to him.
When Cai Juying held the fruit plate and greeted Nan Li with a flattering expression, Nan Li did not respond. This scene made Tian Yulan unable to help herself.
"How did Xiao Huanxi do in this quiz? Our Ziyou still ranks first." Tian Yulan said meaningfully to Xia Junshan while sipping tea.
Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows and put away his phone. He knew that Tian Yulan's words would definitely anger Nan Li. After all, after the test, Huan Huan not only did not improve, but her score was the last, which made Nan Li and Xia Junshan speechless.
Tian Yulan was simply exposing someone's most sore spot. "Ziyou's performance this time was really good, really smart." Xia Junshan didn't want to see his wife arguing with her best friend, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Our Ziyou has been studying well recently. Not only has he achieved good results in the school exams, he is also among the top students in the gifted class. This time he was admitted to the gold medal special training class and has the hope of becoming a top student." Tian Yulan was afraid that the two of them didn't understand the situation, so she hurriedly explained, "The gold medal class only accepts top students."
Hearing this, Nan Li clenched her five fingers on her right hand, already on the verge of anger. "Junshan, if you need information about the cram school or arrange classes for Huanhuan, I'll send it to you." Tian Yulan took out her cell phone and pretended to search.
However, Nan Li fought back firmly: "Huanhuan doesn't need to go to extra classes outside of school, we will teach her ourselves." Every word of this was squeezed out through clenched teeth.
Looking at this scene, Xia Junshan sighed, knowing that his pain had been touched: since the baseline test, he had personally taught Huanhuan and asked Zhang Yu for a lot of information. Who knew that after the tutoring, Huanhuan got worse, and the third from the bottom became the last.
Tian Yulan continued with a sour tone: "Junshan, you know, most of the students in the class have gone to the gifted classes, so the students who didn't meet the standards last time have now significantly improved their grades."
"Cough——" Zhang Yu pretended to cough to stop Tian Yulan's provocation, fearing that she would push too hard and cause Nan Li to lose her composure.
Xia Junshan said in a deep voice: "Nan Li and I don't expect Huanhuan to get first place in the class. She is doing well now." A hint of anger could be felt in his words.
Zhang Yu stepped in to mediate: "Huanhuan sings so beautifully, the couple can train her more, maybe in the future she will become a well-known star."
Hearing this, Xia Junshan said proudly: "Huanhuan's singing is average, it's purely out of interest. I don't expect her to become a star."
Tian Yulan said sarcastically, "The road to acting is not easy. Everyone knows that the entertainment industry is a dye vat. Innocent and simple children will be affected." Nan Li could no longer control herself and stood up and shouted, "Tian Yulan, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Yu quickly stopped Tian Yulan from speaking and said to Nan Li, "She didn't mean any harm, she just blurted it out." Then he pulled her away from the table and said, "Mom asked you to help, go."
Tian Yulan felt regretful. Although she was dissatisfied with her, she was not angry with the child. What she said just now was indeed harsh and almost slandered the child. Fortunately, Xia Junshan stopped her, otherwise Nan Li would have been angry long ago.
Finally, Cai Juying walked to the restaurant and personally took Tian Yulan into the kitchen to stop further verbal abuse. Nan Li sat down angrily and took a deep breath, while Xia Junshan whispered to comfort her.
The children in the courtyard were also frightened by the fight, especially Ziyou, who was the most sad and even shed tears. Ziyou said worriedly: "Mom and Dad, are you going to get a divorce again?"
This question made the atmosphere in the room even more subtle. Nan Li had no time to be angry, and even Xia Junshan looked at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu suddenly felt a headache, and even Cai Juying in the kitchen heard Yan Ziyou's words. "Yan Peng, you want to divorce Yu Lan." Nan Jianlong walked into the room with confusion, but his expression was quite calm, unlike the plot in the TV series, where he even had a heart attack when he heard that his daughter Nan Li wanted to divorce. There is indeed a difference between an adopted daughter and a biological blood. "No, Yu Lan and I had some quarrels, but it hasn't reached the point of divorce." Zhang Yu hurriedly explained, and hugged Yan Ziyou into his arms. "Quarrel?" Nan Jianlong asked in confusion: "What are you quarreling about?" Zhang Yu explained: "It's mainly about the child's school education. I hope to let Ziyou go to an international school in two years, and then send him abroad for further studies. However, Yu Lan disagrees and hopes that he will go to Hanlin Middle School and then pass the college entrance examination to enter university." Nan Jianlong complained: "Such a small matter also needs to be quarreled!" Xia Junzishan also echoed: "That's right! Isn't it just about which school to go to? National school or Hanlin, there is not much difference!"
"The pressure of studying in a national school is relatively small, you can live in the dormitory, and Ziyou can go to fewer cram schools." Zhang Yu added, "But Hanlin School is highly competitive and has a heavy curriculum. My original intention was to reduce Ziyou's burden."
Nan Li said coldly: "What's there to argue about?"
Tian Yulan in the kitchen couldn't help but burst out after hearing this: "You should take care of your own child first. Huanhuan ranked last in the grade this time. What good school do you want to go to?"
Zhang Yu knew he was going to face a storm: "Yu Lan, what right do you have to say such sharp words? If you want a divorce, it will be useless no matter how good the child's academic performance is."
The two had a huge quarrel in front of the whole family, and no matter how Zhang Yu and Xia Junzishan tried to dissuade them, it was in vain.
The three children were crying loudly, and the house immediately became chaotic.
Because Xia Huanhuan and Xia Chaoyue cried so loudly, Nanli and Xia Junzishan had no choice but to take the children home first.
This family dinner arranged by Nan Jianlong once again ended in a farce. He was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
Originally, Nan Jianlong wanted Zhang Yu and Tian Yulan to take Yan Ziyu and leave, but it was rare to hear Cai Juying speak at this moment, and she didn't want to let her daughter leave no matter what.
As a stepfather, Nan Jianlong was not overly concerned about Tian Yulan's marriage, but as her biological mother, Cai Juying certainly could not sit idly by.
Cai Juying dragged Tian Yulan into the study, closed the door behind her, and asked directly, "What went wrong between you? Are you really planning to divorce?"
Tian Yulan sat on the chair, feeling a little irritated. "Little girl, are you going to tell me or not? You really want to make your mother anxious to death!" Cai Juying held Tian Yulan's hand, sweating on her forehead.
"Yes, I want a divorce." Tian Yulan said in an indifferent tone.
Cai Juying asked anxiously, "Did he file for divorce?" Tian Yulan nodded. "It was indeed me who filed for divorce," she replied.
Cai Juying sat down helplessly, looked at her daughter and asked, "Did Yan Peng make a mistake outside and have another woman?" Tian Yulan looked surprised: "That's not the case, Mom, Yan Peng has never done anything to let you down, why do you think so?"
Hearing this, Cai Juying breathed a sigh of relief, but she began to scold her daughter: "Yan Peng is gone, and you still want to file for divorce?"
Tian Yulan lowered her head: "The feelings have worn out. If we can't live together anymore, let's break up!"
Cai Juying slapped her shoulder angrily and said sternly: "Unless Yan Peng makes a big mistake, I will never agree to your divorce." Tian Yulan touched the place where she was hit just now and said sadly: "This is my life. It's not up to me to decide whether to divorce or not."
This made Cai Juying very angry. She slapped Tian Yulan's other shoulder heavily and said, "How can you be so stubborn, girl? You are just as stubborn as your father!"
Tian Yulan stood up and shouted, "Mom, why do you keep mentioning my dad?" Cai Juying sobbed, "Did I do something wrong to give birth to a heartless thing like you? Can marriage be a joke? You said divorce, so divorce!"
