Episode 28 recap: Shen Yao's birthday gift to his father turned out to be a score of three hundred out of a possible one hundred.
Cheng Yu Shan's stepfather came to the classroom of Class 11. With only three days left until the third mock exam, after entering the classroom, he saw Cheng Yu Shan and immediately called Li Ran out of the classroom. Cheng Yu Shan had a bad feeling in her heart and quickly went out to ask Li Ran. However, Li Ran said there wasn't anything significant happening.
But Li Ran didn't tell Cheng Yu Shan that her stepfather had come to return the wallet that she dropped when she stole the phone that day. He also mentioned that Li Ran should have her medical expenses reimbursed, or else he would report this incident to the school. Cheng Yu Shan's stepfather even messaged her, telling her to behave during this period, or else he would ruin her reputation.
After school, Li Ran even wanted to physically confront Cheng Yu Shan's stepfather, but Cheng Yu Shan stopped him. After all, they were in a crucial stage of their lives, and they couldn't afford to commit a crime due to a mistake. Li Ran didn't say anything and left.
Shen Yao's mother took her younger brother and Shen Yao to the shopping mall. Then, they went to the ice skating rink. In fact, Shen Yao's mother used to dream of becoming a figure skater and was the captain of the provincial team. However, she gave up her dream after meeting Shen Yao's father.
This time, Shen Yao unexpectedly encouraged her mother to stand on the ice rink again, which used to be her most familiar place. With the encouragement of her two children, her mother didn't forget her previous moves and regained her own feeling. The three of them, mother and children, went to buy a birthday gift for Shen Yao's father. Originally, the mother was interested in a watch, but the salesperson suddenly said it had just been sold. When the mother went to see, it turned out to be an acquaintance named Lao Jin. Lao Jin was actually Shen Yao's father's driver, but a stylish woman suddenly appeared beside him. Lao Jin rudely explained that she was his cousin. Shen Yao and his mother immediately recognized her as his father's mistress. To help her mother relieve the awkwardness, Shen Yao even said that the secondary card at home couldn't be given to others, and they left together.
After returning home, when the father saw the watch that Shen Yao's mother had given him, he was naturally very happy. However, today he also learned about the encounter between the two. The mother directly mentioned that she knew about his affair and that he could fool around outside, but the only bottom line was not to have children. The father, on the other hand, said he wanted a daughter, and if it was a son, she should have an abortion. In a year, their family would have both a son and a daughter.
The mother no longer has any love for him, and the father even looks down on her, thinking that she hasn't done anything in all these years. Shen Yao silently watched all of this from upstairs, unknowingly clenching her fists.
When the third mock exam results were released, the school didn't publicly announce the scores. Lei Ming initially frowned, and everyone thought the exam results were very poor. However, Lei Ming suddenly burst into laughter and told everyone that everyone had performed exceptionally well.
Li Ran also performed very well in this exam, but Shen Yao's exam results were still unknown. Today was Shen Yao's father's birthday party, and at this moment, the father was still bragging to everyone about his son's excellent exam results and his admission to the "Wings Plan." Then the father asked Shen Yao if the results of the third mock exam had been released. Shen Yao, sitting beside him, took a sip of water and then handed over his score. However, unexpectedly, this time his score was only a little over 300. At first, Shen Yao's father thought it must have been a mistake, but Shen Yao deliberately emphasized that he only scored a little over 300. The father held the test paper and couldn't even speak.
Shen Yao purposely told everyone that his father celebrates his birthday three times a year: once at home, once with everyone present, and once with his current girlfriend. Shen Yao even knew which aunts had been his father's mistresses, and there were quite a few of them at the scene. Shen Yao completely disregarded his father's face, and when the father raised his hand to hit him, Shen Yao stopped him.
Shen Yao also claimed to have severe depression and even bullied classmates at school. The school had given him disciplinary probation. Just at that moment, Shen Yao's lover walked over and poured red wine on him. When she learned that Shen Yao would decide whether to have an abortion based on whether the child was a son or a daughter, she became very angry and said that no one was allowed to touch her child.
Cheng Yu Shan finally told Sang Xia and Lei Ming about her stepfather's continuous threats and harassment. Now they needed to find evidence of her stepfather secretly filming Cheng Yu Shan. However, because he almost always stayed at the mahjong parlor, he had very little time outside.
Lei Ming purposely called the stepfather out, and Cheng Yu Shan, pretending to be a repairman, came to the house with Li Ran. Lei Ming directly gave the money Li Ran owed to the stepfather and demanded that he promise not to harass his students until the college entrance examination.
Li Ran didn't find anything suspicious in his mind. Just at that moment, Cheng Yu Shan's younger brother came upstairs and said he knew what they were looking for. He then found the DVD of Cheng Yu Shan being secretly filmed in a large stack of discs. Li Ran also received a message from Lei Ming telling him to leave quickly. When they checked the DVD, they found that there was nothing on it.
In the evening, the stepfather intentionally spoke ill of Cheng Yu Shan. In fact, he wanted her to move out, and he even asked the mother to secretly take the stolen money from Cheng Yu Shan's bag in her room. The mother went over in the evening and indeed found a white envelope in the bag.
Li Ran is indeed not only childish but also impulsive and inclined towards violence. This child, it's not that I don't pity him. There are many people in the world who have a hard time, but since he has already experienced hardship, it would be better if he could learn from it, stay calm, and not match up with the mature Cheng Yushan.
Look at Jiang Qing Lang and then look at Shen Yao, especially Shen Yao. They both faced difficulties, but in the end, they used reason, methods, and courage to break free from their own haze. Character is important. Excellence is excellence; it's not just about having good grades.
