Although the school and major he was accepted into weren’t ideal, Yao Nian was famous in the factory as one of the first batch of accepted students after the college entrance examination was resumed.
Although Li Xin and Yu Hai didn’t have a good impression of Yao Nian, because of Yu Yan, they would pay attention to Yao Nian’s situation occasionally. After knowing that he had been admitted, their opinions of him changed a little.
The couple even found Yao Nian and asked him about his job after graduation. The two of them originally wanted to keep Yu Yan by their side, but if Yao Nian wanted to return to his hometown because of his studies and work, Yu Yan would most likely follow him.
This was the first time Yao Nian had seen Yu Yan’s parents since he came to Linshui City. He knew that they were all leaders in the agency, so he was a little nervous. “Hello, Uncle and Auntie.”
Li Xin had a faint smile on her face, but she didn’t say anything. Yu Hai smiled and greeted, “Hello, Yao Nian. This is the second time we’ve met.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Yu Hai cut to the chase. “We still don’t know where your hometown is. Have your parents retired yet?”
When Yao Nian heard this, he knew that Yu Yan’s parents had agreed to him and Yu Yan. being together. He revealed his usual gentle facade and briefly explained his family’s situation.
This time, because he was already a university student now, Yao Nian didn’t try to impress Yu Hai with the lie that his father was a small supervisor in the factory. He was worried that Yu Hai would think that his family was well-off and increase the betrothal money as a result.
At this moment, Yu Hai and Li Xin were stunned when they heard that Yao Nian’s home and the home of Yu Yan’s biological family were actually in the same neighborhood.
Yao Nian felt that Yu Yan’s parents’ reaction was a little strange and looked at them in confusion.
Yu Hai saw the panic in Li Xin’s eyes and touched his wife gently. Then, he smiled as he asked Yao Nian, “What are your parents’ names?”
Yu Hai’s question was a little obtrusive, but he was anxious to know more. Yao Nian found it strange, but he told him his parents’ names honestly.
Li Xin’s breathing instantly quickened as she looked at Yu Hai. Yu Hai was afraid that Yao Nian would notice something amiss, so he took a step forward to block Yao Nian’s probing gaze and continued to ask, “Then did you apply to Hang
City’s school because you want to stay and work in Hang City after graduation?”
Yao Nian revealed a strange expression. “Uncle, wasn’t it you who suggested that I enter Hang City? I originally wanted to choose a school in Linshui City, and with my work experience here, it would be easier for the school to assign me a job there after graduation. However, Yu Yan told me that the schools in Hang City are easier to get into. She even said that she would study there with me and that after graduation, you can think of a way to transfer us over, so I filled in my three choices with schools in that place.”
Yao Nian had considered this problem when he filled in the school’s registration form. His parents were ordinary workers, and his family couldn’t give him any help, so it was better to stay in Linshui City. Yu Yan’s family was well-off, and she could help him find employment. In the future, when they had a child, they could leave the child with his in-laws. He could also save some money when raising the child.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, a girl who married into her in-laws’ family had to integrate into a new environment. It was definitely not as good as staying by her parents’ side and living in an environment she was familiar with since she was young.
Because of this, Yao Nian even specifically wrote to Yu Yan and said that he was willing to stay in Linshui City for her sake. He exaggerated his concessions and sacrifices in hopes of leaving a better impression on Yu Yan and her family.
However, Yao Nian didn’t expect Yu Yan to let him return to Hang City. However, considering that it was Yu Yan’s parents who suggested it and that the school there was indeed easier to get into, he agreed. Where Yao Nian studied wasn’t important. What was important was his future job.
When Yu Hai heard Yao Nian’s words, he no longer had the urge to continue chatting. He found an excuse and brought his wife home first.

Li Xin looked at Yu Hai worriedly. “Hubby, how could it be such a coincidence?! The person Yu Yan found happened to be from the same family as the middleman who introduced us to her back then. Do you think perhaps Yu Yan discovered something?’
Yu Hai pondered for a moment. From Yao Nian’s words, it could be seen that Yu Yan wanted to go to Hang City. In the past two months, the couple had been using their connections to find examination materials to send to He Mountain Village, so they communicated very frequently. However, in the letter, Yu Yan didn’t reveal any intention of not wanting to stay in Linshui City.
Yu Hai looked at his wife and said, “Yu Yan probably already knows that we’re not her biological parents and that her biological family lives in Hang City. I even suspect that she’s already been there..”
