been too smooth for him lately, hence why all sorts of awkward incidents came knockingChen Ling Shan's beautiful eyes occasionally swept over Su Can's dejected look, causing a sense of satisfaction to...Chapter 79: Gift

Did Hun Wu go to the playground after school Clearly, she did not. Yang Yang and these few girls obviously overestimated their abilities; they foolishly blocked Tang Wu in the hallway, but this couldn't be kept secret for long and soon spread.

When it reached Yang Yang's ears, naturally, she felt that it was quite satisfying for them to have stopped Tang Wu and vented their frustrations. Saying out what they truly envied about Tang Wu must have been very thrilling.

Anyone would have enemies; this is true, even in No. 27 High School, although not as cruel as the real world. However, it already shows initial signs of such cruelty. While there are people who admire and secretly like her, there are naturally also many who envy and dislike Tang Wu. This is simply human nature. Even in adult society, it's common for people to judge someone based on a single incident and decide whether they like or hate them; ironically, everyone believes they handle such situations well.

Through various small channels, this news reached Wang Weiwei’s ears, who then took advantage of the opportunity to tell Su Can. "Girls from Mingzhi Building intercepted Tang Wu halfway, threatening her and almost coming to blows. They also told Tang Wu to go to the playground. Zhang Feifei knows about this too and seems like she intends to do something. What's your take on it"

Before, they had their own way of dealing with things, but now they're asking Su Can because he doesn't understand their methods and is worried that this incident might cause further trouble for Tang Wu.

"Tell them I'm grateful," said Su Can coolly. Being threatened means retaliating; of course, he didn’t want others to defile Tang Wu in any way either.

Wang Weiwei immediately understood his meaning.

The girls who had threatened Tang Wu were later cornered on the rooftop by Zhang Feifei and a dozen other girls from her clique.

Hence, Yang Yang's actions in blocking Tang Wu at the hallway entrance only allowed this incident to spread. Perhaps they gained some temporary admiration or satisfaction but it proved that such self-gratification is ultimately unhelpful in conflicts.

Zhang Feifei clearly had more experience with conflict; she cornered Yang Yang and those girls into a corner of the rooftop, so whatever happened there only heaven knows.

The sky was overcast, and autumn winds blew coldly as the weather front approached.

After being on the roof, each girl had red eyes and swollen faces. Zhang Feifei came down the stairs later, rubbing her hands. "She really has thick skin; my hand hurts from slapping her."

This incident once caused a huge stir, to the extent that Sun Man stepped forward and was ready to confront Zhang Feifei. As the school radio host and queen of the broadcasting club, she naturally wasn't afraid of Zhang Feifei's financial power. Just as it seemed like this major confrontation would erupt, Sun Man was stopped by her circle, which included male and female backbone members from the four student organizations.

Meanwhile, Zhang Feifei, known for her fiery temper, was also calmed down by people like Zhang Xian, Zhu Yi, and Wang Weiwei.

The two potentially explosive groups narrowly avoided a collision.

Twenty-seventh Middle School returned to its usual peace and quiet. However, the discussions behind closed doors became even more heated.

Under these circumstances, it was only at the start of the second semester that senior three students could enjoy their weekends again.

Su Can stood in front of the mirror, patting his face. His youthful and handsome appearance had a mysterious allure due to his deep eyes, reminiscent of a beautiful porcelain doll with an eerie soul behind it.

Tang Wu's birthday party was scheduled for Sunday at the Fourth City Garden Restaurant. Su Can felt uneasy about this.

A trap

Su Can smiled in the mirror. If Mu Ji really set up such a trap to target him, she overestimated herself.

Perhaps her performance in front of Mu Ji had made her feel threatened. If left unchecked, Su Can and Tang Wu's relationship might cause her cold daughter to change, potentially developing into an illicit romance.

Su Can understood this. As a mother at this stage, she would undoubtedly do everything possible to prevent such a situation from happening in front of her eyes, especially if she held power.

This didn't mean she would use her power directly but that it allowed her to maintain control over situations within her acceptable range and avoid triggering her sensitive points.

Mu Ji, as Tang Wu's mother, had the ability to mitigate potential risks to a certain extent. Of course, she wouldn't completely suppress them either.

Better to guide than to block.

This was Su Can's summary of what Tang Mu might be thinking. In Xiahai, she had tried to block once. Although the methods she used were unconventional forms of motivation, perhaps it was because she noticed Su Can’s unique qualities that if he hadn’t been so firm in his conversation with her back then, she might have left silently without saying anything, taking Tang Wu with her. Or maybe they discussed some topics irrelevant to a child's nutrition.

The reason why Tang Mu spoke harshly to him could be interpreted as her appreciation for what Su Can said on that occasion. So she didn't mind leaving an impression of being a bad person and playing the role of someone strong. If just one sentence can motivate a person, why wouldn’t she take this opportunity to do so

No matter if later in Su Can's memory he resented her or believed she was the culprit behind his separation from Tang Wu, it didn't concern her. Who cares anyway

Perhaps what Mu Bian hadn't anticipated was that Su Can could obtain recognition from the second-tier high school with a top 3% performance in a provincial-level city's best middle school, deviating from his predetermined path and arriving at the province’s most prestigious high school to meet Tang Wu.

Lately, he had even been seen strolling near their family compound less than twenty meters away, directly colliding with her.

The shock she felt back then wasn’t just surface-level "daze" alone.

Mu Bian’s statement of “not bad” was also worth pondering. This affirmed her own excellence and made her aware that if she were to intervene forcefully again, the backlash might be beyond her control and expectations.

A smart woman should know there are things in this world that cannot be absolutely suppressed or controlled. In modern society, interfering with and stopping the next generation’s love affairs may only lead to dramatic conflicts like those seen in movies and TV shows, without solving anything.

Tang Mu is undoubtedly not foolish. Considering her attitude towards suppressing herself, it seemed she wasn't going down that path either.

This gathering could be likened more to a key placed before Su Can rather than a banquet of hostility. It was about opening the door; whether he can enter through this door and climb onto the right steps would depend on his achievements.

Just as some people first think of conquering when they see magnificent starry skies, others feel awe.

For Su Can, it's closer to feeling awe first and then contemplating how to push forward.

Therefore, Mrs. Tang prepared to adopt an approach of mediation, hoping that she and Tang Wu could develop normally, which was a wise move. Perhaps her covert obstruction might unexpectedly become a catalyst for the two of them.

Hence, after saying "And today also slightly disappointed me," Mrs. Tang invited him to participate in Tang Wu's birthday party. She lowered herself by using this method as an apology for what she said about him at Xia Hai, and with a composed attitude, hoped for more open development between him and Tang Wu.

Who knows It might be a trap after all. Even the most outstanding person can lose their cool sometimes; no one can guarantee they are flawless. Perhaps Mu Ban really intends to stage an opposition scene.

Through his telescope, Su Cen observed Mu Ban in the living room across from him. This reconnaissance sensation gave him a sense of superiority since he was in the dark while others were visible.

Mu Huan was warmly welcoming guests at Tang Wu's house; several middle-aged women came over, all elegantly dressed. They sat on the sofas in Mu Ban's small lounge chatting and discussing something. Over there, Mu Ban appeared cheerful, displaying a commanding presence. One could imagine her balancing assertiveness with gentleness in reality.

Upon waking up on Saturday morning, Su Cen pondered what gift to buy for Tang Wu to celebrate their first shared birthday.

Guo Xiaozhong arrived early, having been shut out many times at Su Cen's place. This time, Gou Xiaozhong was smarter; he called first and made sure Su Cen didn't leave home before rushing over. With nothing else to do, Su Cen dragged him shopping around several malls. By the end, Guo Xiaozhong was exhausted from all the walking, but Su Cen hadn't really planned on buying a specific gift for Tang Wu.

Expensive bracelets, watches, or pendants seemed too conventional to Su Cen.

The man followed Su Cen around various large mall counters with his heart in his mouth. He had seen Su Cen casually order a VIP card for the shattered coffee shop and knew that Su Cen's father was now an executive vice president at the construction company, while his mother ran a chain of Shushan brand stationery stores. Thus, he always had plenty of pocket money but didn't know how deep Su Cen's pockets were.

Wouldn't it be possible that Su Cen might buy these items worth several thousand to tens of thousands in the next moment

"This kind of gift is definitely a good idea! If I were Tang Wu, I'd surely be moved to tears!" Guo Xiaozhong nodded vigorously and swallowed hard, imagining how dazzling those crystal or agate bracelets would look on Tang Wu's white wrists.

When Su Cen was selecting among several bracelets in his hand, he suddenly put them back into the box and walked away, leaving a stunned Guo Xiaozhong and a speechless salesgirl.

Suddenly, he knew what gift to give; it would be far more meaningful than these jewelry pieces.your factory has been contracted out everything is fine! Your factory will eventually close down! Understand The government's Yang Secretary has already designated this area for residential developmen...
