Chapter 9: Submitting an Application to Continue Her Studies
Han Binglan was kidnapped by human traffickers when she was two years old. She was even beaten up a few times in between, but she was still lucky. She wasn’t beaten up to beg for food, her organs weren’t dug out and she didn’t die. In the end, when she was six years old, she even met her adoptive parents, Han Baozhu and Liu Sujuan from Pear Tree Village.
Coincidentally, her adoptive father’s surname was also Han.
The two-year-old girl only vaguely remembered her mother calling her Lan Lan gently. Later, when she was sold around, everyone called her that too. Therefore, her adoptive father gave her this name.
Pear Tree Village was more than 150 kilometers away from Xiling City. It was a rather poor village.
Han Baozhu and his wife were farmers who worked in the fields. When they were free, they would go to the city to work. Their family conditions were very ordinary. Moreover, they already had a ten-year-old son at that time, but they were especially good to this little girl whom they had picked up and had always provided for her to go to school.
Han Binglan was a very smart girl and knew how to be grateful. She was usually very obedient and hardworking too. Not only was she good at studying, but she was also multi-talented. She especially liked to dance and could learn well from television. Her adoptive parents did not want to bury her talent. They even brought her to the county city to find a teacher from the Youth Palace to teach her how to dance.
A few thousand yuan a year for dance lessons was not a small sum for the Han family in the countryside. However, the Han family had never stopped paying for her until she returned to the city.
Originally, Han Binglan’s wish was to enter a dance academy, but when she was sixteen years old, during a national anti-kidnapping campaign, she was found by her biological parents after a DNA test. The year she returned home, she got to know Nangong Jue and fell for him. Originally, she felt inferior and only dared to admire him in secret.
She had heard that Nangong Jue was a talented student in the finance department of Xiling Jiao Tong University, so she applied to Xiling Jiao Tong University as well. Not only did she give up on dancing, but she also studied finance, which she had no interest in at all.
Although she didn’t like it, Han Binglan was smart. If nothing went wrong, she would be a straight-A student. She might even be a hit in the financial world.
However, when she found out that the person she was engaged to was the same man she had a crush on, she fell in love and was in no mood to study at all. She used all kinds of tricks to seduce Nangong Jue.
Therefore, the original top student slowly became a bad student. Especially after entering university, she was always at the bottom in every examination. Occasionally, she even had to retake some subjects. It was simply tragic.
This also made Han Binglan fear studying.
Fortunately, she took a break from school and got married in her second year.
However, she did not get any so-called love during the year she took leave from school. Other than courting death, she did nothing else.
Now that she, Le Yao, was here, she decided that she should obtain her diploma from Xiling Jiao Tong University. Therefore, she came to submit her application for continuing her studies and asked about the possibility of changing her major. She had no interest in finance and even had the cheek to bring out some cupcakes she had made. She knew that the old man liked it.
“What are you doing?” Ma Lin glared at her. “Do you think I’ll transfer you just like this? You’ll have to at least pa.s.s the statistics examination.” If not for Nangong Jue, he wouldn’t have bothered with this ignorant and incompetent woman.
“Headmaster Ma, it’s a misunderstanding. I made these myself. This is just me showing respect to my dear teacher. It’s not considered a bribe.” Le Yao chuckled. “I used xylitol. It’s good for your health.” Then, she turned and left.
