Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Fortunately, Jiang Nuo, his wife and Yu Rong came at the scene a few minutes afterwards, saving everyone from the awkwardness that had taken over. No one had spoken a word since then. There was a turmoil in everyone's heart. Mei Qingyang decided to clear everything to Feng Yue first. Then she would need to talk to Yu Tian to not pull something like this again. She had more headaches to take care of now. She grimaced at the thought of confronting both the guys. She also needed to make sure that Fan Ruyi did not misunderstand. Otherwise her prediction would come true way sooner than her expectations.

"Why are you guys all quiet? Su Lang, I thought you would come and talk to uncle. This uncle is hurt.", Jiang Nuo turned around when he sensed something wasn't right. He was not aware of the fact that a lot of people still did not know about his relationship with Su family.

Yu Rong heard him calling himself Su Lang's uncle. She stared at Wang Hao for such a fundamental mistake in his intel. Were they blood related? Sure, Su Lang's mom's side was a mystery but this? Dang, this was a big hole in information.

"Uncle, I… I wanted to greet you properly but with all the pomp and show today, you were so busy, hehe.", Su Lang looked at Yu Rong casually. Jiang Nuo had come to basically observe the anniversary of his son's death. It had been so many years. Yu Rong was really being childish making him do speeches and all this show.

By the terms they had agreed on, it was just four people. Including Mei Qingyang, it should have been five. Could she not let the family unite and just enjoy a day? Furthermore, she had to drag the whole campus, just to show everyone how much she was doing for Mr. Jiang. Such a show-off.

If this whole trip was done quietly, he could have easily got to spend more than half a day with his favorite uncle. Plus, it would have been so easy to get some information from him. This Yu Rong only thought about herself. When was the last time he got together with his family like this? Now she was acting like she had come to some dumpster, covering her nose with a handkerchief and making faces. Su Lang was cursing Yu Rong really heavily in his heart.

They arrived at the dingy room in the bas.e.m.e.nt where all previous superintendents and Mei Qingyang had lived. Jiang Nuo hardened his heart before entering the place. When Jiang Bo had taken his own life, he did not even get to see him here. He was directly taken to the hospital where he confirmed the identity of the body. He was not in the position of power then, so he was not even allowed to enter the school campus. Now he was finally going to see the place where his son suffered so much, that he….

It had really been too many years. Now he was the Minister of Education of the country. He had adopted a beautiful smart daughter who was filial enough to have come here to take revenge for their family. She did not really need to do that, but no one could deter her from entering the school.

Life had come a half circle already and now, there were people who were going to make it a full circle. He strengthened his determination to help Mei Qingyang as much as he could. He was going to take down the Yu family. No, not just take down, he was going to destroy them. He clenched his fists making a promise to himself.

Mrs. Jiang could not stop her tears from flowing. It was so surreal, to be visiting this cursed place. How tormented her son would have felt, what emotions he was going through, every moment must have been such a big torture for him.

She could not help but reminisce how her son was such a happy-go-lucky person, always joking with her and his friends. They were such a great company to her, who always regretted not giving a sibling to him. Her husband had always been busy and the boys kept her occupied the whole time. She was also happily passing her days of motherhood when her son was appointed to be the superintendent in this school. Who would have thought that he would never come back after entering this place?

Mrs. Jiang sobbed quietly, covering her mouth with her white handkerchief. Mei Qingyang's heart broke seeing her parents in such a state. Yu Rong had already opened the door for the room but both her parents were hesitating to enter. Mei Qingyang could not bear it anymore and stepped forward to hug her mother's arm and comforted her silently.

Yu Rong was about to yell when Wang Hao stopped her. It would really be a harm to her reputation if her behavior here came out in public. She would not be able to bear the consequences of public shaming. It seemed that Yu Tian's friends had started taking an opposite stance to her thanks to Mei Qingyang and if they wished, they could leak it all to the media. There was nothing wrong in the physical interaction as long as no words were exchanged.

Mei Qingyang also sensed Yu Rong's intention and glared at her furiously. What was wrong with this woman? Seeing her daughter coming forward, Jiang Nuo also put an arm around his wife's shoulder and they stepped inside the room.

The room had been completely cleared of any belongings of Mei Qingyang. Jiang Nuo looked around. He had seen the photographs from that time but it still felt unreal. So, this was the place. He finally got to visit it, finally got to see where his son experienced his last moments. And, also the place where his daughter was spending time in.

This room was definitely not an ideal place for any human being. Low levels of natural light and a kind of dampness, it was a place where one would feel depressed for no reason. He touched the bed, the table. He could imagine how his son would lie down in the bed or study at his desk seriously. A smile appeared on his face.

Mrs. Jiang still could not hold herself, so Mei Qingyang was supporting her. The mother was crying while the daughter was trying her best to just be there for her. She had never met her brother, so she only had impression of him from what she had heard from her family.

Li Hanyu and his friend were standing in their military stance of paying respect to their brother. He had lost his life for a good cause after all. They both were very clear about the happenings and policies of this school.

Yu Tian was also visiting her room for the first time. He should have visited earlier so that he could introduce her to their secret base sooner. This place stunk. Their base was much airier place although it was still a bas.e.m.e.nt. She could even shift her majority of belongings there. Or he could just shift her to his room. His suite was the one with the best view in whole of school. They could also spend more time together that way. No wait, more time together? What was he thinking?

"I have looked enough, let's go from here.", Jiang Nuo suddenly closed his eyes and exclaimed. No matter what, he wouldn't be able to come to terms with Bo's death until he finished his revenge.
