Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

After buying milk tea, Ji Yuan and the others sat down around a table.

The group took out their homework and started chatting while doing it.

Li Jianjian directly told Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu about today's parent-teacher meeting.

Inevitably, I complained again about the parent-teacher conference happening only a few days into the new school year.

After finishing their milk tea and homework, the group was ready to go home.

Even if Qi Mingyue didn't want to go home, she had to.

He was sighing a bit when he got home.

Seeing this, Li Jianjian couldn't help but sigh, "Mingyue looks so pitiful. Luckily, my dad has low expectations of me."

"Li's father just has too low expectations of you."

Ji Yuan smiled and said.

"Hmph, it's because Dad dotes on me~"

Li Jianjian was not ashamed, but rather proud.

The group chatted for a while before heading home.

……

202.

After they returned, they put their things down and soon had dinner.

The food today was still very good, and we even had a hot pot.

Several people sat around room 202, eating their meal. Li Haichao said, "Some people, it's okay if their grades are bad, but I'm afraid they're not ashamed of it."

"Dad, please stop mentioning 'certain people' and just call me out."

Li Jianjian chuckled as she spoke.

Looking at the grinning Li Jianjian, Li Haichao felt somewhat helpless: "You, I'm really afraid of you."

I'm really afraid you won't get into a good university, won't find a good job, and will starve to death on the streets.

"It's okay, I've already thought it through. For the first half of my life, I'll rely on you, Dad, to support me."

"My brother will be my support for the rest of my life."

"You have such a shameless nature."

Li Haichao said with a smile.

Ding ding ding.

As the two were talking, Ling Heping's phone rang.

Li Haichao casually asked, "Is something wrong at the institute?"

Ling Heping took out his phone and saw: "It's Ling Xiao's maternal grandmother calling..."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the family members immediately fell.

He Mei was somewhat confused.

"Dad Ling, just pretend you didn't hear that."

Ji Yuan spoke up.

"No way, I listened to you before and didn't answer her calls, but she still came to our door."

Ling Heping shook his head and immediately got up to go to He Ziqiu's room next door to answer the phone.

Ling Heping preferred to deal with the old lady over the phone rather than have her come to his house again.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao said, "Dad Li, Aunt He Mei, you two eat first. I'm full, I'll go upstairs now."

After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he immediately got up and left.

He knew his grandmother too well; since she had called, he was definitely going to let her answer the phone.

He really didn't want to answer his grandmother's call.

Ling Xiao's maternal grandmother was an even more annoying person than Chen Ting.

With a sharp and mean nature, after Ling Heping and Chen Ting divorced, Chen Ting, being selfish, cut off all ties with the Ling family and stopped caring about her son.

But this old lady, although she has the same personality as Chen Ting, has lived a long time and knows that Ling Xiao cannot be abandoned like this. Perhaps Chen Ting will need Ling Xiao to support her in her old age.

So they would call and harass Ling Heping and Ling Xiao from time to time.

Especially in the last two years, knowing that Ling Xiao has become more and more outstanding, I have been calling him more and more frequently.

If the old lady only expressed concern for Ling Xiao every time she called, that would be fine.

But this old lady came with a purpose.

Every time she called, she would bring up Chen Ting with Ling Xiao. Of course, she knew that Ling Xiao didn't want to hear about Chen Ting, but she didn't care.

She just couldn't let Ling Xiao forget Chen Ting. When she called, she would tell Ling Xiao how hard Chen Ting had worked, what Chen Ting was like, and that he was his mother's biological son and should remember her kindness.

He Mei asked, looking completely bewildered, "What's going on?"

“It’s always like this. Whenever my older brother receives a call from his maternal grandmother, he can’t even eat.”

Li Jianjian complained.

"That family is like a persistent ghost. Even though Ling Xiao's mother is divorced from Ling's father, she still comes over all the time to seek attention."

He Ziqiu also made a sarcastic remark.

"To be old and not die is to be a thief."

Ji Yuan echoed this sentiment.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. You guys bring some things up to Lingxiao later."

Li Haichao interrupted the three of them.

He Mei was still a little confused, so He Ziqiu immediately looked at her and said, "Mom, I'll explain after we finish eating."

"Row."

He Mei nodded.

As he spoke, Ling Heping came out with the phone: "Okay, I'll let Ling Xiao answer the phone..."

To be honest, Ling Heping noticed that Ling Xiao was no longer there, so he could only say, "Grandma, Ling Xiao has something to attend to right now."

After exchanging a few more words, Ling Heping hung up the phone.

He threw his phone on the table, somewhat angry.

"What's wrong with this old lady now?"

Li Haichao looked at Ling Heping and asked.

Ling Heping paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, what could be wrong? I just miss Ling Xiao."

Ji Yuan glanced at Ling Heping.

He knew that the old lady wanted to see Ling Heping for something.

……

A short while later, Ji Yuan and the other two finished their meal and took some food upstairs.

The three of them went upstairs in the short time.

Downstairs, Li Haichao looked at Ling Heping and said, "Tell me, is there something wrong with that old lady again?"

Ling Heping nodded: "Is everything alright? She told me that Chen Ting's husband is coming here to work for six months, and Chen Ting is coming along to take care of him, and she's bringing their daughter with her."

So they asked me to find a school for their daughter and arrange for her to attend temporarily.

"They really don't come to your temple unless they have something to ask. You should listen to Xiao Ji. You've been divorced for so many years, just ignore their family."

Li Haichao glared angrily at Ling Heping.

Ling Heping said helplessly, "No matter what, that old lady is Ling Xiao's maternal grandmother, and we are related by blood. It's really difficult for me to handle this."

"Anyway, let me tell you, I've wanted to say this for a long time: Ling Xiao is not only your son, but also my son."

"If it's difficult for you, that's fine with me, but I can't put Ling Xiao in the middle and make him suffer."

Li Haichao continued.

"Yes, yes, that's why I didn't mention it in front of them, just to avoid causing Ling Xiao any trouble."

Ling Heping said with a smile.

He Mei listened to their conversation and felt a bit conflicted.

……

Not long after, Ji Yuan, Li Jianjian, and He Ziqiu came downstairs. He Ziqiu then went upstairs with He Mei to explain the Ling Xiao family's situation to her.

Li Jianjian went back to her room.

Ji Yuan called Ling's father to room 201.

"Xiao Ji, what do you want?"

Ling Heping asked.

"Dad Ling, did the old lady call you because she needed something?"

Ji Yuan spoke up.

Ling Heping smiled and said, "You're a smart kid... If something's wrong, don't worry about it."

"No, I won't let you go back unless you tell me."

Ji Yuan laughed and started acting like a rogue.

"You brat... I can tell you, but don't tell Ling Xiao and the others."

Ling Heping thought for a moment and then said.
