After a brief moment of surprise, Wen Ying herself wanted to laugh.

She was still too innocent. She had overlooked the fact that Wen Dongrong was often deceptive. His words did not always reflect his true thoughts. With many relatives in attendance, it was only natural for him to want to appear progressive in terms of his children's education. Despite Wen Dongrong's immediate dishonesty, Wen Ying almost fell for it!

Alas, she had been fooled so many times. Yet, she still placed her faith in her father. How fool she was!

Wen Ying sensed that she had only been reborn for a few days, yet her mindset was already inclining towards that of a teenage girl. The realization struck her with fear, causing cold sweat to trickle down her forehead.

After dinner, the relatives helped to clean up the house before leaving. Only Wen Ying and her family remained in the living room alongside Chen Li. The quartet gathered and conversed about Wen Ying's summer English tutoring.

Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong were convinced that Wen Ying had not performed well on the high school entrance exam. Rather than waiting for the official results, they decided to send her to Rongcheng City for further English language enhancement.

In the hearts of Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong, their daughter who failed in the high school entrance exam was not qualified to be relaxed.

Other people can relax on summer vacation because they did well on their exams. Wen Ying didn't do well on her exam, so she shouldn't have fun on her summer vacation.

Chen Li frowned. "English tutoring classes usually start in July. It's June now. It's too early to talk about that. Besides, the exam results haven't come out yet, and you are already assuming Ying's poor performance. It is rather hasty to make such judgments..."

That could hurt the self-esteem of Wen Ying.

Chen Li still believed more in Wen Ying's own statement than in Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru's self-righteous judgments.

Her niece never talked big.

Chen Li was just about to defend Wen Ying when Wen Ying hurriedly said, "Auntie, I think it's best to attend the English tutoring as soon as possible regardless of the exam results. If I do well in the exam, I have to review my high school knowledge in advance so that I don't fall behind the teaching progress of the top high school in Rongcheng City in the future. After all, there are too many outstanding students, and I come from a small city with backward educational resources!"

Wen Ying didn't care about tutoring. She was only thinking about her uncle, Deng Shangwei. If she didn't go to Rongcheng City soon, she wouldn't be able to find a chance to stay with Deng Shangwei and supervise him.

Having fought against her parents for a long time, Wen Ying knew them well. The words she chose were specifically aimed at resonating with Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong. Both of them showed a look of appreciation and relief.

This was the first time the couple noticed that Wen Ying had displayed obedience since the high school entrance exam.

Chen Li was speechless.

She turned her head to look at Wen Ying and received a signal from her to cooperate.

Chen Li knew Wen Ying's meaning.

Anyway, she was going to take Ying to Rongcheng City to spend the summer vacation. It would be better if she could go early. Chen Li immediately changed her words.

"The English tutoring class hasn't started yet. Let's find a teacher in Rongcheng City to teach Wen Ying alone. I'll call Mr. Deng later. He knows a lot of friends. It's not difficult to find a high school English teacher to teach Wen Ying."

The effectiveness of one-on-one tutoring was undoubtedly superior to that of larger classes with numerous students.

Both Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru were very satisfied. Chen Ru took out an envelope from her room and gave it to Chen Li, "In that case, I kindly request you and Shang Wei to locate a renowned high school teacher who can tutor Wen Ying. Dongrong and I entrust Wen Ying's well-being to your hands."

Chen Li didn't count how much money was in the envelope and stuffed it directly into her handbag.

If she declined the payment, her sister, Chen Ru, would surely object. Chen Li couldn't be bothered to argue with her sister over such a trivial matter. Besides, if she brought Wen Ying along to Rongcheng City for the summer break, Chen Li would shoulder all of Wen Ying's expenses, including the tuition fee.

Chen Li only had spent a lot of money on Wen Ying.

What Chen Ru meant was that they would set off tomorrow. Wen Ying said impatiently, "It's only eight o'clock now and, aunt, you have a car. Why don't we go back to Rongcheng City tonight by your car and get ready early so that I can devote myself to my studies."

Her words hit Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong's sore spot again.

Wen Dongrong was happy in his heart, but still put on a serious face to scold Wen Ying for not being considerate of Chen Li's hard work driving at night.

Chen Li didn't care about his words and said, "Sure, we can go back tonight. Wen Ying can bring some clothes and we can set off."

Chen Li went back to her hometown for a week, very mindful of the two sons in Rongcheng City. She also wanted to go back to see her sons one night earlier.

Without saying a word, Wen Ying went back to her room and put two pieces of clothes in her schoolbag. Then she followed Chen Li downstairs. Chen Ru told her to behave herself in Rongcheng City and not to cause trouble for Chen Li and Deng Shangwei. Wen Ying agreed.

After leaving Wen Ying's house, Chen Li chuckled, "Why do I sense that you're reluctant to spend a day at home? Are you that afraid of enduring your parents nagging?"

"I miss Deng Jie and Deng Hao, and I want to see them as soon as possible. Uncle also promised to take me out for fun."

Although Wen Ying said so, in her heart, she was thinking that her aunt was really sensitive. She really didn't want to stay at home for a day. In the eyes of others, she had only stayed in the hospital for a few days and had not been in the same room with her parents for several nights. In the eyes of Wen Ying, she had not returned home for two years before her rebirth. She was very resistant to being alone with her parents.

However, her aunt was sensitive enough to sense her mood, so how could she fail to detect anything out of the ordinary about her uncle, Deng Shangwei?

Was it because she trusted her uncle too much, or was it because she had already noticed it but was pretending not to know?

Regardless of the situation, Wen Ying sympathized with Chen Li.

She couldn't help but think about what her boyfriend, He Zhen, had said... In her previous life, after her uncle's extramarital affair was exposed, her aunt had hastily ended the marriage.

If Wen Ying encountered the same thing, she would never choose to forgive him. She had always felt that her aunt's choice of divorce was very decisive and straightforward. However, the divorce had greatly hurt Chen Li. She struggled for countless years to recover from its lingering effects. Despite her aunt successfully acquiring the majority of the assets during the divorce proceedings, monetary gains did not equate to her aunt's happiness.

Deng Shangwei was not leading a satisfactory life either. During Wen Ying's college years, he frequently contacted her and invited her for meals. However, Wen Ying harbored such a strong resentment towards Deng Shangwei that she refused to meet him under any circumstances. Despite his age, Deng Shangwei even shed tears over the phone conversation.

At that moment, Wen Ying had a tendency to be either extremely supportive or completely dismissive. Upon hearing Deng Shangwei's cries, she held the belief that he deserved his misery.

Upon reflecting on the matter, she realized that her actions had been excessively harsh.

Even if Deng Shangwei and Chen Li were no longer couple, and Deng Shangwei was not his uncle anymore. Deng Shangwei was still an elder who had doted on Wen Ying for more than ten years.

Deng Shangwei was always very occupied with his business affairs, to the point that even when Deng Jie and Deng Hao fell ill, he couldn't possibly stay up all night keeping an eye on them. However, when Wen Ying was admitted to the hospital, Deng Shangwei diligently supervised her infusion and didn't rest for a single moment throughout the night.

Maybe it was worth giving Deng Shangwei a chance after all.

Before Chen Li discovered any leads, she managed to convince Deng Shangwei to handle the matter in a proper manner. If Deng Shangwei was unable to handle it effectively, she was prepared to assist him.

As Wen Ying thought about this matter along the way, she slowly sorted out the clues.

When Chen Li drove back to Rongcheng City, she happened to catch sight of the familiar old Santana in the community. Wen Ying's face even lit up with a smile.

"It's uncle's car!"

Chen Li also saw it.

Chen Li rolled down the car window and was about to say hello to Deng Shangwei when the old Santana turned around and drove out of the community.

Chen Li was stunned, "Your uncle should get his eyes checked. How can he miss seeing my car at such a short distance?"

Wen Ying had mixed feelings in her heat.

Could it be that he couldn't see clearly in the dark?

But what mattered was that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and her uncle was still driving out. Where was he going!
