Gu Zi and Yang Zhen locked eyes, recognizing each other instantly. Gu Zi studied the face before her that looked so similar to Aunt Yang’s but much younger, and said, “Miss Yang, so you are Aunt Yang’s daughter. No wonder I found you familiar when I first saw you. It’s quite a coincidence.”

Those around them, including Aunt Yang, were taken aback. Aunt Yang’s voice trembled with excitement as she asked, “Miss Yang? Zhen, are you teaching now?”

Yang Zhen nodded, smiling as she replied, “Yes, mother. I’ve been transferred to the same school where Su Bing and Su Li are studying, the First Bilingual Primary School. I’m a second-grade language teacher there, teaching Su Li’s class. As Gu Zi said, it’s quite a coincidence. I didn’t expect it either…”

As Yang Zhen spoke, the expressions of those around them changed. There was envy, disbelief, and even a hint of jealousy.

Yang Zhen, they thought, had made something of herself. Not only was she a teacher now, but she was also teaching at the best foreign language primary school in the city. It was a prestigious job. Could Aunt Yang really be so fortunate?

If it weren’t for the fact that Yang Zhen was indeed Su Li’s language teacher, with Gu Zi and others as witnesses, some would have accused Yang Zhen of bragging. After all, the First Bilingual Primary School was not an ordinary school. How could someone as young as Yang Zhen, with no significant background, secure a teaching position there?

Everyone knew Aunt Yang’s family was impoverished. After the death of her second husband, who was also Yang Zhen’s father, their circumstances had worsened.

Yang Zhen had almost been forced to drop out of school and marry. Many had eagerly awaited the spectacle. But somehow, Yang Zhen didn’t marry and left the village, denying the spectators their entertainment.

Now, six or seven years later, Yang Zhen had returned. She was a respected teacher, a symbol of resilience and success. Of course, there was jealousy.

But no one dared to voice their resentment. Everyone knew that Aunt Yang and Gu Zi’s mother, An Yun, were close friends. Offending Aunt Yang would mean offending An Yun, and by extension, Gu Zi and the Su family. Even if they wanted to gossip, they wouldn’t dare do it openly.

Gu Zi paid no mind to the reactions of the irrelevant people. She was genuinely happy for Aunt Yang.

Now that Aunt Yang’s daughter had returned, Aunt Yang had a true relative who cared for her by her side. She wouldn’t feel so alone and helpless. What was even more surprising was that Aunt Yang’s daughter was Su Shen’s new Mandarin language teacher.

Gu Zi remembered the day they received the exam results. The homeroom teacher, Miss Zhou, had been particularly biased against them. Gu Zi worried that Su Li would be targeted in the future. So, taking advantage of Yang Zhen’s gratitude toward her and her mother, An Yun, Gu Zi pulled Yang Zhen aside and said, “Sister Yang Zhen, I have a favor to ask. If you truly wish to thank us, I would like you to help me.”

Yang Zhen replied, “Gu Zi, now that we have this relationship, feel free to ask for any help. I’ll do my best to assist you. I’m truly grateful for how you’ve taken care of my mother.”

Gu Zi said, “The day we went to collect the results, I noticed that Su Li’s homeroom teacher, Miss Zhou, had a particular grudge against me and my children. I couldn’t hold back my anger that day and probably offended Miss Zhou. But considering she’s Su Li’s homeroom teacher, I’m worried. I hope you can keep an eye on Su Li at school.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen knew exactly which Miss Zhou Gu Zi was referring to. In fact, she didn’t have a good impression of this colleague either. On her first day at school, Miss Zhou had tried to intimidate her.

What was worse, Miss Zhou had been spreading rumors that Yang Zhen had secured her teaching position through unscrupulous means.

Yang Zhen agreed, “Gu Zi, I would never refuse a request from you. Besides, Miss Zhou has been spreading rumors about me. I promise you, once the school starts, I’ll keep an eye on her and pay more attention to Su Li’s situation.”

Gu Zi and Yang Zhen had a smooth conversation. When they returned to the banquet, it was just about to start. Gu Zi had two seats rearranged so that Yang Zhen and Aunt Yang could sit at her table, allowing them to celebrate their reunion together.

During the banquet, Aunt Yang and An Yun raised their glasses. An Yun said, “No matter what, I must drink a toast with you, Aunt Yang. Yang Zhen, you too. Let’s celebrate your reunion. Of course, let’s also congratulate the newlyweds, wishing them a lifetime of love and companionship. May we all be safe, healthy, and happy!”
