Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

"You two are still fighting for it. Do you really think I want to praise you?"

Mark said sarcastically to the two people.

Wang Xiaomi and Ma Li have only known each other for a short time, but they are so in cahoots with each other that they are even trying to fool Mark. This is definitely not going to work.

"Dad, it was really me who asked my sister to bring me here to find you."

Ma Li said weakly. She was also good at acting pitiful in front of her old father.

"Teacher Ma, it was me who told Lily that her mother was coming, so she asked me to come along. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Wang Xiaomi also said with a pitiful look.

"You two should behave yourself from now on. If you can just drive that person away, you'll be happy, right?"

If he really had to share the blame between the two, Mark would definitely give Wang Xiaomi more.

The starting point of the matter was that Wang Xiaomi told Ma Li that Tian Ye came to the gym.

Even if Wang Xiaomi has no ulterior motives, she did not do this out of active calculation.

But his subconscious mind chose to do this, because he wanted to disrupt the conversation between Mark and Tian Ye from the bottom of his heart.

"Very happy."

Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi replied at the same time.

“…” Mark: “Have you two ever considered whether I’m happy or not?”

"Dad, you must be very happy, right? We can be considered to have vented your anger for you."

Seeing Mark's unhappy face, Mary came over and hugged Mark's arm and started acting coquettishly. She had been holding Mark firmly with one hand for fifteen years.

"I've already gotten over this anger myself, so why would I need your help?"

After beating Zhao Ling, Mark had already let the matter go.

"I'm just trying to help you vent your anger."

Wang Xiaomi followed up.

"You are just making things more complicated. Mary is a child. Are you also a child?"

It's understandable that Mary helped Mark vent his anger, but Wang Xiaomi is just kidding.

It was obviously a declaration of sovereignty in front of Tian Ye. Although the two had not yet confirmed their relationship, Wang Xiaomi had already prevented Mark and Tian Ye from having any contact in advance.

"Teacher Ma, are you angry?"

"Do I need to be angry with a little girl like you?"

Wang Xiaomi was still too enthusiastic, and the pace was faster than Mark had imagined.

In order to catch the fish in the field, it is better for Mark and Wang Xiaomi to develop a little slowly.

"So where are we going next?" Ma Xiaomi was obviously still thinking about having fun.

"You have to go to work and school tomorrow, and you have to get up early. Where else do you want to go?"

Mark asked back to Wang Xiaomi.

There must be some reason why this girl is late for work every morning.

Wang Xiaomi sticks to the routine of the younger generation who don’t go to bed before midnight.

"Let's go have a meal together. I'll treat you." After getting to know Mark, Wang Xiaomi actually likes treating others.

"Just write it down and eat it another day. Lily should go home and do her test paper. It's almost the end of the semester."

There are many benefits to taking Mary with you every day.

It can also be used as an excuse to go home early and maintain Mark's healthy routine.

It also saves two people from being together, as the progress is too fast.

If Mark was alone with Wang Xiaomi, he really wouldn't be able to resist.

"Dad, my mom is really angry today."

While Mark was cooking, Mary went back to the house to do her homework.

While waiting for the meal to be cooked, Mary had also finished half of it.

The homework these days is obviously more than before.

This time, it was Mark who finished cooking and called Mary out of the room.

"You also know that your mother is really angry. Isn't it all because of you?"

Mark knew what Mary wanted to say, so he put the blame on Mary first.

"Why is it because of me? She's obviously angry because you have a girlfriend."

What Ma Li actually wanted to say was that Tian Ye still cared about Mark, and she wanted to persuade the two to reconcile.

No matter how Ma Li causes trouble, her core purpose has never changed.

"Do you know why your mom came to the gym?"

"Because of what?"

"She wants to reconcile with you and wants you to live with her for two days a week."

"real or fake?"

Ma Li was angry with Tian Ye. In addition to Tian Ye filing for divorce, he also did not fight for the custody of Ma Li.

Ma Li is not a child and would not think that Tian Ye doesn’t want her.

But it is inevitable to feel a little awkward and uncomfortable.

"I didn't lie to you. She wanted to make peace with you. How could she not be angry when you stabbed her in the back?"

If Mark and Tian Ye switched places, Mark would be even angrier than Tian Ye.

So Ma Li should bear at least half the blame for Tian Ye's anger.

"Even if it's because of me, then isn't it because of you that my mother is so angry?"

"Why should I do that? Aren't all these things done by you?"

Mark felt a little guilty when he said this.

At least for now, Mark and Wang Xiaomi have nothing to do with each other.

"Oh."

Ma Li fell silent and fell into reflection. She also felt a little sorry for Tian Ye.

Over the next few days, Mark and Wang Xiaomi only met at the gym.

There wasn't much communication, and Mary was there most of the time.

When Ma Li was around, Wang Xiaomi couldn't be so unbridled and say whatever she wanted.

Before telling Ma Li her real name, Wang Xiaomi always felt guilty about Ma Li.

I didn't dare show that I was thinking about Mark in front of Mary.

"Old Ma, I'm back!"

"You're finally back. How's your wife? Is she discharged from the hospital? I thought I wouldn't see you again until next semester."

Mark was still a little uncomfortable with not having seen Lao Sun for several days.

"I've taken him home. There's no major problem. He just needs to rest."

Old Sun seems to be in a good mood.

It must be because his wife was discharged from the hospital smoothly, but Mark boldly guessed that it must also be related to the fact that Lao Sun didn't have to stay with his wife all the time.

"As long as everything goes well."

"Leave me your time after get off work today. I'll treat you to a meal."

"Why, sister-in-law is tired of you going home and making a fuss, so she wants to rest and not let you go home?"

"What are you talking about? How could she not want me to go home? Isn't it to thank you for the medical examination card you gave me when I invited you to dinner?"

"There's no need for that. My card sent my sister-in-law to the hospital, and it's the reason you haven't been to work for such a long time."

Mark didn't really want to go for this kind of thing.

"How can you say that? If you don't detect the hidden dangers early, we won't know what problems will arise when they occur. You are giving us health."

"As long as you two are healthy, I won't eat this meal."

"Your sister-in-law ordered you to come with me after get off work."

Old Sun's invitation this time was quite sincere, and this kind of invitation doesn't happen often. "You've spent a lot of money, Old Sun. This is not like you."

After get off work, Lao Sun took Mark to find a western restaurant.

Let’s not talk about how it tastes, just looking at the restaurant environment you will know that the cost is definitely much more expensive than ordinary Chinese food.

"Why isn't that like me? You think I'm stingy, don't you? I'm telling you about this place. I come here often."

At this time, Lao Sun undoubtedly felt that he was a very generous man.

"Yes, you are an English teacher after all. You should come to places like this more often. After studying English for so many years, you should find some foreigners to talk to."

By communicating more with foreigners, Lao Ma can also change his plastic accent.

When it comes to listening to English, it is still necessary to speak it more standardly for exams.

"It's not just me who should come more often, Old Ma, you should come more often too."

Mark just gave Lao Sun a favor to give him face, and Lao Sun wanted to recommend the product to Mark.

"I don't have a foreign stomach like you. I can't get used to these. Why am I here?"

"Lao Ma, you are single now, did you know that?"

"You don't need to emphasize this, I know it myself."

"You're only forty, not that old. You can't be single for the rest of your life. If you want to find another one, you'll have to go out with the girl in a nice restaurant like this. If you want to take someone to eat noodles with soybean paste, will the girl be happy?"

"You haven't been to school for such a long time, and you're just thinking about this? Can you think about something more serious? The exam is coming up soon. Think about your students' grades and your performance. Isn't it time to pay more attention?"

The more he listened to Old Sun's words, the more wrong they seemed, so Mark quickly interrupted.

"Lao Ma, as your friend, I am worried about you. I know a single woman here. If you are willing, I can introduce her to you."

Not surprisingly, Lao Sun just wanted to help Mark find a partner.

Considering Lao Sun’s social circle, Mark even suspected that a teacher in the school was thinking about him and asked Lao Sun to come over.

"Old Sun, when did you start liking to be a matchmaker? How come I didn't know you had this hobby?"

"Lao Ma, I am doing this for your own good. I am willing to do this for you. Otherwise, a grown man like me would never do such a thing."

Compared to friendship, Mark would rather believe that Lao Sun just likes this kind of thing.

"Lao Sun, for your own good, I have to talk to my sister-in-law about your acquaintance with a single woman. I can't just watch you make a mistake. You are so familiar with the restaurant, you must have brought ladies here often before, right?"

Mark imitated Lao Sun's tone and replied to him.

"It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but why are you telling this to your sister-in-law? Don't you know what kind of person she is?"

Old Sun said angrily that his daughter-in-law still had a great deterrent effect on him.

Under Mark's hidden threat, Lao Sun did not continue to talk about introducing a partner.

This meal confirmed one thing for Mark: Lao Sun’s food was not that delicious, and he should never let Lao Sun treat him in the future.

When there is no purpose, Lao Sun will never be willing to spend money.

"Teacher Ma, why didn't you come to the gym today?"

Before finishing the meal, Wang Xiaomi sent a message to Mark. This girl is quite clingy.

"Ma Li is going to take an exam. I have to help Ma Li with the logistics for the next period of time, so I won't go to the gym for the time being."

In the last bit of time, all physical education classes were suspended, Mary's boxing training was about to come to an end for the time being, and Mark also stopped his part-time job.

I originally wanted to inform Wang Xiaomi after we met at the gym, but Lao Sun invited Mark out for dinner, so now I can only notify her by phone.

"Do you need my help?"

"As for the normal final exams, I can handle it on my own."

In fact, there is not much Mark can do, just take care of the children's morning and evening meals.

Even without Mark, Mary can solve it herself, so it’s not a big problem.

But Mark was there to provide moral support.

"Okay, I'll see you when you're done with this part."

"Okay, I've greeted the yoga teacher for you. Just look at the schedule and go to class when you have time."

Although Mark thought Wang Xiaomi might not go, he still made arrangements for her.

During this period at the end of the semester, even Ma Li feels a little nervous.

Without so much time to do things, I could focus on studying and no longer thought about Tian Ye and Mark all day long.

Mark then had a little more free time, except for invigilating during the exams.

The rest of the time, Mark was happily slacking off at work.

"Lily, the final exams are over. Have you decided where you want to go?"

"Didn't you say you would take me to Europe?"

"Like I said before, whether or not you go to Europe depends on your grades?"

"Don't worry about my results. I will definitely not let you down."

"Then see what country you want to visit. We always have to have a focus when we go out to play."

Since Mary has this confidence, Mark also believes that Mary's grades will not be too bad.

At least she is not worse than before. Even after experiencing the breakdown of her family, her grades have not declined, so it can be said that Ma Li has made progress.

"I want to go to Paris, and I also want to go to Milan..."

There are still many places that Mali wants to go.

This age group is actually curious about the world, looking forward to new things and willing to go out and play.

"Bang bang bang!"

"I'll go open the door." Mary turned around and said when she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it? How come someone came to our house?"

Mark asked Mary at the door.

"Grandma, why are you here? I was just thinking I'd have time to go see you."

Then Mark heard Mary's greeting at the door.

"Where's your dad?"

The response was Ling Mingyu's shout.

"Mom, why are you here?" Mark was still quite surprised by Ling Mingyu's arrival.

The two of them haven't seen each other for nearly a month, and they are actually in a cold war.

Mark didn't have any attitude of admitting his mistake, and Ling Mingyu wouldn't come to his house.

"Mark, am I still your mother?"

When Ling Mingyu saw Mark, he started to scold him.

"Why, is there any doubt about this?"

Although Mark told Ling Mingyu that Ling Mingyu would be Tian Ye's biological mother from now on.

Whether or not to recognize Mark depends on Ling Mingyu herself, but such words should certainly not be taken seriously.

If it wasn't certain that the two were mother and son, Mark would have had this question as well.

"You and Tian Ye are divorced. Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?" Ling Mingyu questioned Mark.

"You know it." Mark replied calmly.

Hearing that Ling Mingyu was angry because of this, Mark didn't continue to be confused.

Mark had anticipated this kind of thing, and he had to go through it.

The fact that the old lady still came to him angrily showed that she had endured the incident, and Mark was quite happy to see it.

"Grandma, don't be angry. My parents' divorce is not my dad's fault."

After understanding, Ma Li quickly persuaded Ling Mingyu.

"Lily, you also know that if I had known your parents were divorced, it would have been fine if your dad hadn't told me, but you also kept it secret from me?"

Ma Li helped to say this, and Ling Mingyu's anger was directed at Ma Li.

In Ling Mingyu's eyes, Ma Li couldn't compare with Tian Ye in status, which might be due to Mark's influence. (End of this chapter)
