Chapter 106: An unwanted visitor (2)



After Housekeeper Zhang had brought him tea, she asked him directly, “What do you want?”

She was pretty blunt. Her arbitrariness contrasted greatly to his cautiousness.

Even though Meng Yan had already prepared himself prior to coming over, this ex-wife, who was sitting in front of him with nothing but distance and coldness in her eyes, was still difficult to get used to.

He wasn’t the only one who felt that way. Housekeeper Zhang shared his feelings as well. She exited the living room quickly and left the ex-couple there by themselves.

Meng Yan nodded and said, “About what we have talked about before…”

Before he even finished with his sentence, Lin Yiyi interrupted him, “You mean to try to get a child that I don’t even know into school? I am not able to help you with that. You need to try other channels.”

Lin Yiyi figured out why Meng Yan had asked for her help after the call.

Other than the fact that Meng Yuran was already studying in the International School, a more important point was that Lin Yiyi has the connections!

Ms. Lin Ping had planned for her grandson and granddaughter way ahead of time – where to go for kindergarten; which grade school to attend. When Meng Yuran was still just a child, Ms. Lin Ping had already reserved this mansion that was still under development at the time solely for her two grandchildren’s benefit. The mansion was near the International School for Meng Yuran and also close to the kindergarten that has a lovely environment and good facilities for Meng Shanshan.

The International School has a grade school and junior high school departments. Their tuition ran close to $30,000 a year.

Granted, they got what they paid for. Never mind the quality of the teachers there, the school also regularly updated their facilities. For example, they have soundproof practice rooms for singing classes, dance studios for dance students, and very professional instructors that they hired from overseas to teach foreign languages…

Many public schools didn’t come remotely close to their standard, which was why many families who could afford it would want their kids to attend this school.

Ms. Lin Ping has her own social circle in City Nan.

She was also an acquaintance with the principal of the International School.

If she would just help put in a good word, getting a child into the school was not an issue at all…

That was, if she felt like lending the olive branch.

One way or another, Lin Yiyi had no intention to hook him up.

Not to mention, she didn’t think Ms. Lin Ping would necessarily agree to it just because she asked.

She’d be crazy to think that!

Meng Yan wasn’t surprised by Lin Yiyi’s rejection. It wasn’t even the main purpose of his visit today.

“About that, I have already reached out to some other friends for help. I came today because…”

Meng Yan saw Little Yuran holding Shanshan’s hand in his. They were standing on the staircase.. The light casted in front of them and all he could see was the shadow behind them. It was as though a distance laid between them, giving him a feeling of discomfort.

Lin Yiyi also followed his sight and turned and looked behind her.

She recalled that she has not yet told the kids that Meng Yan wanted them to go stay over at his place for a few days.

“I haven’t seen Little Yuran and Shanshan for a while now. They have grown up so much that I almost don’t recognize them anymore.”

Hearing Meng Yan’s words, Lin Yiyi turned her head back towards him.

She had thought a lot during this time.

The kind of unseen damages done to the children during a divorce were irreparable.

The two kids had never expressed how they felt over this issue. She recalled the very first time that she saw them. The older one looked very distant, like he barely wanted to say a word. The younger one, on the other hand, was very timid, like she was always gauging how her mother felt before she talked.

Truth be told, her heart would still ache when she thought about that.
