Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while until nine o'clock in the evening, when the children started to get sleepy, and then the two families said goodbye and left.

Unlike the lively and happy atmosphere at Zhou Min's house, Gong Yu and her family of three didn't say a word on their way back.

After arriving home, seeing Gong Yu's nonchalant demeanor, Gong's mother hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help asking, "She called you Teacher Gong?"

When the two families first met, Gong's mother didn't think much of it, and she didn't even pay much attention to the way Zhou Min addressed Gong Yu when she first heard it.

But when she saw Zhou Min's four-year-old brother, Gong's mother began to confirm her earlier suspicions. But by then it was too late.

Upon hearing this, Gong's father also frowned and looked at Gong Yu.

"Yes," Gong Yu replied readily.

"Is she your student?" Mr. Gong asked again, uncertainly.

Gong Yu only told them about having a girlfriend and the fact that their families were going to meet this morning.

Because of the tight schedule, Mr. and Mrs. Gong only had time to learn about Zhou Min's general situation.

From Gong Yu, they learned that Zhou Min was a student from a small county in Jiangsu Province who was admitted to the capital university.

My parents run a small business, and I also have a younger brother.

While still in school, Zhou Min led her classmates to found the company Huachuang Future.

Mr. and Mrs. Gong knew about Huachuang Future.

This company has been a hot topic in the capital for a long time.

In their impression, this company had been established for a long time and was doing very well.

The two, who were not particularly concerned about social status to begin with, were overjoyed to hear that their usually abstinent and single son had a girlfriend who came from a respectable family and was so outstanding.

After booking the hotel, the two began preparing their outfits for the evening.

Because of the urgency of the situation and their unwavering trust in their son, they didn't bother to verify Zhou Min's actual circumstances, and they never imagined that a teacher-student relationship would happen to their otherwise upright and honorable son.

"Yes, but not anymore."

Mr. and Mrs. Gong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although teacher-student relationships were common in their time, they are still easily criticized in this day and age. The two did not want their son to be caught in a whirlwind of public opinion.

When did you two start dating?

Gong's mother continued to press for answers, but this time Gong Yu did not respond immediately.

Seeing Gong Yu's hesitant expression, Gong's mother immediately felt a pang of anxiety.

She had heard during dinner that Zhou Min was only 22 years old! Could it be that the two of them had already been dating?

Thinking about this, Gong's mother's expression gradually changed as she looked at her son.

Having prepared her answer, Gong Yu looked up and saw her mother's disapproving and condemning gaze.

Gong Yu coughed lightly and simply didn't answer.

Forget it, let her misunderstand.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Gong asked quietly, "Does anyone else know?"

Seeing Gong Yu shake her head, Gong's father continued, "So, what are your plans for this wedding?"

Mr. Gong had originally planned a grand celebration, inviting all of Gong Yu's colleagues and friends from school, but given the current situation...

"Let me ask Zhou Min!"

As Gong Yu spoke, she took out her phone, preparing to go to the balcony to make a call.

The moment Gong Yu saw Zhou Min's text message, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Gong exchanged a glance and then both sighed softly.

By the time Gong Yu finished her call and returned, both of them had calmed down.

After Gong Yu sat down, he said with a faint smile, "Zhou Min said that we can just get a marriage certificate first and don't plan to have a wedding for the time being."

Zhou Min's original words were: I just want to appease my family, and then I can just drag it out. I don't need to worry about it.

Gong Yu thoughtfully refurbished her words.

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Gong exchanged another glance.

In the past, they definitely wouldn't have agreed to this idea, after all, Gong Yu is their only son.

While other families have grandchildren, Gong Yu is over 30 and still doesn't have a girlfriend.

Now that they finally have a chance to show off, how could they possibly let it go?

But now?

The two kept their relationship a secret from everyone.

Should they inform their classmates, friends, colleagues, subordinates, and superiors about this sudden marriage?

The notification has been sent. What should be said?

If you don't inform them, how can you keep such a big-budget wedding a secret?

Who is this wedding for?!

Seeing that his parents were silent, Gong Yu casually comforted them for a couple of minutes before going straight back to his room. He hadn't slept well last night and needed to catch up on sleep tonight.

Gong Yu left with a smile on his lips, leaving only his parents looking at each other in bewilderment.

Because she hadn't slept well the night before, Zhou Min went to bed early that night.

When I woke up, it was already 10 a.m.

Zhou Min leisurely washed up, ate breakfast, and then went to the hall to meet her relatives.

They usually do the same thing: after getting ready, they go downstairs to the restaurant in groups of three or five to have breakfast. After breakfast, they wander around the hotel or wait in the lobby for me to get up.

Of course, Zhou Min usually didn't have the chance to sleep this late. Her mother would usually knock on the door to wake her up no later than 8 o'clock.

I finally got a good night's sleep today, which is rare for me.

Zhou Min, who thought everyone was too tired last night to wake her up today, realized something was wrong as soon as she entered the hall.

The hotel lobby was deserted today; apart from the hotel receptionist, there was no one there.

Without thinking twice, Zhou Min took out her phone and dialed her mother's number.

As soon as the call connected, Zhou's mother's cheerful voice came through.

Where are you?

Zhou Min was a little curious. What could have made her mother so happy so early in the morning?

"We're at the Temple of Heaven, and Xiao Gong is here too. Come over here now!"

After finishing her sentence, Zhou's mother hung up the phone without waiting for Zhou Min's reaction.

Zhou Min pursed her lips, then went downstairs, got in her car, and drove off.

This car was the same one I drove back in the night before last after dropping off Teacher Gong.

Zhou Min planned to drive the car to the Summer Palace Hotel yesterday to return it to Teacher Gong.

Who knew he drove it yesterday too, so the car wasn't returned and was driven back again.

Knowing that Teacher Gong would be there today, Zhou Min didn't think much of it and continued driving over.

When Zhou Min arrived, everyone had almost finished playing and was taking pictures in small groups.

Zhou Min walked over to Teacher Gong and exclaimed incredulously, "I never expected you to be so popular with us!"

Zhou's mother and her family are all native rural people. Zhou's father and mother have seen some of the world because of doing business over the years, so they are a little better off. The other relatives, however, are actually somewhat inferior at heart.

They knew they weren't very cultured and were aware of their own crudeness, so when they saw city people, they didn't dare to approach them.

For this reason, even though their arrival in the capital was sudden and they often spoke and acted without restraint, Zhou Min tolerated it as much as possible.

It's simply because Zhou Min understands their sensitive psychology.
