She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

He was the first person to discover that Tang Ping'an really enjoyed reading medical books. While other children went to play on the playground during breaks, she would quietly read books by herself.

Children this age don't know many words, yet they will ask their teachers questions about obscure and difficult words in books.

Tang Ping'an is a very introverted girl with little courage. She is afraid when she sees teachers and even more afraid when she sees strangers.

If the Tang family, or even Old Lady Xia and Chen Xiangbei, hadn't come to pick her up that day, or even if a kind neighbor had gone to pick her up, Tang Ping'an wouldn't have left.

This introverted and timid child would ask the teachers in the office for help because she couldn't understand the words in the medical book, and she couldn't even wait to go home and ask her mother. This shows that the child has some talent.

Teacher Wang told Tang Jiao about this discovery, and Tang Jiao was very surprised. Although Ping An would come to her to ask how to pronounce a word and what it meant, she always thought it was because the child was interested in recognizing words, but she didn't realize that every time Ping An came to ask, she was holding either her or her father's book.

Later, on his ninth birthday, the child wished for a life-size replica of a skeleton, which greatly troubled Tang's father, as such items were not easy to obtain. Although the hospital had them, they were hospital-issued, and it would be difficult for Tang's father to buy them himself.

Tang Ping'an was always very shrewd in these matters. Seeing how worried her grandfather was, she decided to settle for second best and suggested that he go to the hospital for a check-up more often.

Thus, Tang Ping'an spent her childhood in her father's office. Her favorite thing to do was to learn about the structure of the human body little by little by following the instructions in the book, or to take the book to the doctors in various departments and ask them all sorts of questions.

Teacher Wang and Tang Jiao got to know each other through these interactions. When Tang Ping'an was in the third grade, Teacher Wang directly expressed her feelings to Tang Jiao.

Tang Jiao's eyes widened, and she hesitated. Her feelings were complicated. She had some affection for Teacher Wang, but she was afraid that if she were with him, Tang Ping'an would be upset. Besides, Teacher Wang probably wanted his own child too. Tang Jiao didn't want to have another child; she just wanted to give all her love to Tang Ping'an.

But Teacher Wang didn't mind. His original plan was to dedicate his life to teaching and nurturing students, and he hadn't considered personal matters. So, unlike some people, he didn't value children as much.

He felt that having Tang Ping'an as a child was enough, and he could devote all his resources to her. He even thought of a classmate from his school days who seemed to be teaching this at a university.

Teacher Wang took a roundabout approach, starting with Tang Ping'an.

Despite his age, Mr. Wang remains very serious about relationships. He can distinguish between true love and settling for someone who is just doing something suitable. He understands that Tang Jiao does have feelings for him, and he knows that he genuinely admires and loves Tang Jiao—the kind of love that makes him want to spend his life with her.

After more than a year of effort, Tang Jiao and Teacher Wang officially became partners.

This teacher, who was not young, broke down in tears at the wedding, loudly swearing to her relatives and friends that she would treat Tang Jiao and Ping An well for the rest of her life.

Although Tang Jiao was very touched, she was no longer the naive girl she once was. She liked Teacher Wang, but she also knew that while marriage required careful management, she couldn't smooth out all her edges. She had to maintain her independence and not just listen to what the man said, but observe whether his actions would change in the future.

If feelings change, you must have the courage to cut ties cleanly.

After hearing that Tang Jiao was getting married, Chen Xiangnan sat there for a whole night, and finally smiled bitterly and wished her and Tang Ping'an a happy and healthy future.

He's a rotten person, unworthy of Tang Jiao. Tang Jiao deserves a very, very good person to spend the rest of her life with.
