Following that, Pu Sangzhi accompanied Ye Qingcao to a dental clinic in Rui’an, where she went to see the dentist for a braces adjustnt.
Having never worn braces herself, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t very clear on the details of wearing them; she watched as Ye Qingcao nervously asked the dentist many questions and felt rather guilty.
Pu Sangzhi also feared that Ye Qingcao would stand up for her and might slap that bitch, potentially causing so unintended consequences...
Fortunately, after examining Ye Qingcao’s orthodontic progress, the dentist simply said, "It’s alright."
Only then did Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao let out a sigh of relief...
The dentist fitted Ye Qingcao with new brackets and adjusted the tightness of the wires, remarking on her orthodontic progress, "The alignnt progress has been a bit slow recently. If you can adapt to the current force, I’ll tighten it a bit more next ti. Otherwise, with this level of force, the correction could be delayed by another six months."
"Ah..."
Ye Qingcao was clearly startled by the dentist’s words, "Then let’s tighten it a bit next ti! I think I can tolerate this force! A bit tighter is fine!"
The dentist nodded and said, "Too tight isn’t good either, we can’t rush the movent of teeth or it could damage the gums. Next ti, I’ll tighten it a little for you to adapt to. Also, your lower left wisdom tooth has co in, it’s best to remove it, otherwise, it will affect the correction."
"Ah..."
Ye Qingcao looked even more distressed, her eyebrows furrowing tighter, "I’ve already had four teeth removed, do I have to have another one out?"
The dentist seriously explained, "Wisdom teeth that are growing in an unfavorable direction need to be extracted anyway; not removing them could harm the good teeth. Plus, since you are undergoing orthodontic treatnt, wisdom teeth can affect the process. If it’s convenient for you, I can extract it for you right now."
"Ah..."
Ye Qingcao couldn’t help but open her mouth wide, covering the left side of her face, "Does it really need to be removed?"
The dentist nodded, "My advice is to have it extracted, especially if you don’t want your treatnt to be delayed. Think it over for yourself; if you’re not nstruating lately, you can have it done right away."
"Ah~"
Ye Qingcao sadly drew out the sound, then turned and clung to Pu Sangzhi who was behind her, "Sangzhi, I can’t believe I have to get another tooth pulled! I’ve already had four extracted."
Pu Sangzhi patted Ye Qingcao’s shoulder, trying to comfort her, "I’ve heard that crooked wisdom teeth need to be removed because if not, they’re totally disadvantageous and without any benefit. Since you’ve already had four taken out, what’s one more, right?"
"But you have no idea how painful tooth extraction is~"
Ye Qingcao was very distressed, "The anesthesia injection is painful, and it will be uncomfortable for a long ti afterwards, I’ll have to swallow blood the whole night! And the key point is, I’ll have to rest for several days~ We won’t be able to look for part-ti work!"
Pu Sangzhi comforted Ye Qingcao, "We don’t have to rush for a part-ti job in just a few days. Since you’re already here today, let’s get it over with, I’ll be with you. If we postpone it, will you have soone to accompany you?"
"Hmm..."
Ye Qingcao gave it so thought; it seed like there would be no one to accompany her...
She had been coming alone for every follow-up visit, as her brother wasn’t ho, and her mother was busy with work.
So, having Sangzhi with her today was indeed rare!
"Okay, let’s do it today then!"
Ye Qingcao imdiately made a decision, turned to the dentist, and declared, "Doctor, I’ll go ahead with the extraction!"
The dentist agreed, "It does need to be extracted. Sooner or later, it must be done, but there is an additional charge for extracting wisdom teeth. First, go get an X-ray, then pay the fee, and co back here for the anesthetic."
Ye Qingcao: "Oh..."
Luckily, Ye Qingcao always carried her mother’s credit card with her for expenses like these that could be claid back.
The only problem was... tooth extractions are so scary!
Later, with Pu Sangzhi’s accompanint, Ye Qingcao had her wisdom tooth extracted.
Pu Sangzhi took Ye Qingcao ho, cooked her porridge, and as Ye Qingcao was weak from excessive blood loss, she fell asleep on the sofa in a daze.
Pu Sangzhi tucked her in with a blanket before finally leaving to go ho.
On the first day of the sumr break, Pu Sangzhi realized she had managed to accomplish everything, despite the hassle.
On the sa first day of the sumr break, Ye Qingcao woke up in the evening to find that her face had swollen up after the extraction...
Thus, Ye Qingcao took a photo of her swollen face and posted it on social dia, with the caption: "The sequelae of being slapped by a little bitch—bracket knocked off, face swollen! Great, quite impactful! Impressive!"
This post was also discovered on her social dia by Yan Siyuan’s secondary account lurking in Ye Qingcao’s network...
That night, Yan Siyuan logged onto Weibo and hired a team of paid comnters to stir up more drama on the post Huo Feng had made using Chen Ruonan’s Weibo account, the one saying, ’A noble person like only socializes with the offspring of officials.’ This effectively reignited interest just when the post’s popularity was about to decline, once again stirring up public attention.
Consequently, that night, the Chen Ruonan’s household was in utter chaos!
Chen Ruonan was subjected to a harsh beating by her father, crying her eyes out with tears and snot running down her face...
Her father too was busily apologizing on one phone call after another to various leaders, blaming his lack of instruction, and assuring them that he would fully take the bla!
Although her father knew it was Huo Feng who made the Weibo post, that knowledge was useless, because the netizens were ignorant.
Now, even if a clarifying Weibo post was made, or one expressing sincere regret, it wouldn’t earn the forgiveness of the people online...
On the contrary, netizens scolded their family for desperately wanting to beco famous! Making up this drama for no reason, just to beco popular...
Chen Ruonan could be said to be full of grievances with nowhere to voice them, and thoroughly tripped up by Huo Feng!
...
That night, in another part of the city, Huo Feng was also berated by Huo Mingshan and Huo Hai for causing such a stir.
Huo Hai even personally visited Huo Mingshan’s ho, and together, they gave Huo Feng a beating!
Fortunately, Huo Feng was agile and quick on his feet, expertly dodging and running, carrying out an hour-long chase with those two greasy middle-aged n and not letting them have their way!
Later, it was to cool their tempers that Huo Feng voluntarily handed over a feather duster, allowing Huo Hai to hit him.
After that...
Well...
In any case, Huo Feng was still alive.
And Huo Feng would never have imagined that the reason this matter blew up so much was because Yan Siyuan was fanning the flas behind the scenes!
By the ti he would find out in the future, the incident had already beco old news.
But when the future Huo Feng would think back, he would feel that Yan Siyuan was truly too scheming!
Being undercover was his number one tactic!
And the second one was using Huo Feng as a pawn, making him face all the hardships while Yan Siyuan controlled everything from behind!
Of course, this would all be sothing he would find out after going to college in the future...
...
That sa night, the only relatively peaceful household was the family of Pu Sangzhi.
At Pu Sangzhi’s ho, things were as quiet as ever.
At 8 p.m., after dealing with all her tasks, Pu Sangzhi sat next to Chen Huifen, keeping her company at work and chatting, while exchanging texts back and forth with Ye Qingcao.
Pu Sangzhi had a knot in her heart that was not easily untied.
That very night, she spoke of it to her mother...
She said, "Mom, did I ever tell you that Huo Feng’s family is actually quite well-off?"
Chen Huifen naturally responded, "Without you saying, mom can tell. Xiaofeng’s character and deanor clearly aren’t those of a child raised in a poor family."
After considering her words, Pu Sangzhi added, "Mom, did I ever tell you that Huo Feng’s maternal grandfather is a village official, his paternal grandfather is the secretary of Tangxia Town, and both his parents are teachers. He cos from a family of officials and scholars..."
Chen Huifen thought for a mont, "You might have ntioned it to ..."
Afterward, Chen Huifen couldn’t help but give Pu Sangzhi another look, "Why suddenly care about these things? Are your classmates attacking you?"
Chen Huifen really understood Pu Sangzhi, as soon as she started the conversation, she guessed what was on Pu Sangzhi’s mind.
Once in Shanghai, when their family had fallen on hard tis, Pu Sangzhi had also been attacked and ridiculed by her classmates.
Nowadays, students are very competitive, and the school is a microcosm of society, so such comnts are not surprising. After all, their family’s situation truly was dire...
"Mom..."
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, "We are all students now, so it doesn’t really matter. You said, what about in the future... after college, or when we graduate from college, will these issues beco an obstacle between and Huo Feng?"
Chen Huifen was slightly taken aback, "You’re thinking that far ahead?"
Pu Sangzhi: "Ah?"
Chen Huifen chuckled, "I an, you and Xiaofeng, you’re thinking that far ahead? Even considering matters of marriage?"
"No..."
Pu Sangzhi quickly shook her head, denying it in a hurry, "I don’t an that, it’s just... I am wondering, do I have a chance of ending up with him? Will these real-life issues, if not faced now, still have to be faced later? Mom, what do you think?"
Although she denied it in haste, from the series of questions that followed, Chen Huifen still heard the implication that she wanted to go a long way with Huo Feng...
Chen Huifen didn’t puncture her bubble, just smiled and said, "Let’s cross that bridge when we get there! So issues may beco non-issues as ti goes by. Who knows, maybe in the future, our family will be doing well, right?"
Pu Sangzhi, seeing Chen Huifen so open-minded for once, couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, why do you say that? Did you get any news from dad?"
Chen Huifen shook her head, "No. I just feel that no news from him might be for the best. Sooner or later, we’ll pay off our debts. Plus, with you working so hard, there’s definitely hope for us yet."
Pu Sangzhi slowly nodded, "Oh..."
Just as they reached this point in their conversation, Pu Sangzhi received a WeChat ssage and quickly opened it to check...
The ssage was from soone wanting to add her as a friend...
And it was none other than Chen Chaonan!
