Chapter 1423 The Person on Television was My Classmate 2
Luckily, her mother and father had never been to the capital. They were unaware of her situation in the capital or what she had done in the capital.
Otherwise, after barely surviving the four painstaking years in Peking University, she might have to face a similar situation when she returned to her hometown.
“Yan Yan, why do I feel that the female diplomat looks very familiar?” Father Lü had presbyopia and astigmatism. He had to squint when he wanted to take a closer look at the images on the television. He squinted at the television and creases formed on his forehead.
“Familiar? How is it possible that you have seen such an outstanding girl before?” Mother Lü smiled. Her husband must be indulging in fantasy. It was impossible for the Lü family to be associated with people who would appear on television.
“I am serious. I have really seen her before. You’ve seen her before as well. Wait a minute.” Father Lü put down the wine bowl, and he took out his daughter’s university graduation album. It was not easy for people from the countryside to provide for a child to go to college, particularly when it was Peking University. Although it was just a very small graduation album, Father Lü cherished it very much and he kept it carefully, treating it as his treasure. He did not allow Lü Yan to leave it around the house. “Look, does this person look the same as the person on the television?”
“It seems… so.” Mother Lü widened her eyes. “Lü Yan, is the girl on the television your college classmate?” The more Mother Lü looked at it, the more she felt that they were the same person. “Yan Yan, you really are the most outstanding person in our village. Why didn’t you mention to us that you have such a capable classmate? Wow, the female diplomat on television is Yan Yan’s classmate. Why do I feel like I am dreaming?” Although she did not give birth to a son, since her daughter was classmates with such an outstanding young lady, it proved that her daughter was just as capable. She would not change her daughter for ten sons.
Mother Lü did not wait for Lü Yan’s reply. She smiled widely as she ran out with the graduation album to brag to other people, particularly her difficult mother-in-law who kept complaining that she did not give birth to a boy for the Lü family. “Mom, did you watch the news on the state-owned television channel? The female diplomat on the news used to be classmates with Yan Yan…”
Mother Lü shouted loudly. Not only had Father Lü’s elder brother heard the commotions but the neighboring families in the village also heard her and came out to take a look…
“Xiao Xiao, why did you change the channel? Don’t you like to watch the news on this channel?” Father Yu noticed that his daughter switched to other channels and he gave her a gentle reminder, lest she switch to the wrong channel.
Yu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. “I watch the news on this channel every single day. I am tired of it. I feel like watching some other channel today. Dad, what do you and Mom like to watch? I will switch to that channel.”
The parents were glad that their daughter was being filial to them. “Haha, we have no preferences. We can watch any channels that you like.”
“Well, let’s look at this channel then.” Yu Xiaoxiao managed to switch the channel. But she kept quiet about seeing Qiao Nan on the television. She did not bring it up to her parents that she used to be classmates with the young lady on the television. They had the same age and they used to be from the same social class.
She was her classmate and her roommate. Like Senior Xu, she could have settled down in the capital and become part of the working force with Qiao Nan’s help. She could have her own house in the capital and she could bring her parents to stay with her.
If she had known…
Why was she so stupid and innocent in her first year of college to believe in Tang Jiayun who was only good with words but no actions? Why was she fooled by her to think that she was the most capable person in the dormitory and that she would be able to help her? If not for this, she would not have such a bad relationship with Qiao Nan. She could only go back to her hometown in defeat after graduation, coming up with the excuse that she had graduated and she wanted to contribute to her hometown and helped her hometown develop and prosper. She could only use some high-sounding excuses to make it look good for herself.
Yu Xiaoxiao did not wish to dwell on the foolish acts that she did in the past.
Nothing could be changed. Since that was the case, she would simply not think about it so that she would not be upset and she would not aggrieve those near her and gladden the enemy.
Yu Xiaoxiao switched the channel, hoping that she would feel slightly better. Her parents had looked through her graduation album umpteen times. She did not want them to recognize Qiao Nan from the television.
Qiao Nan might not be the official school belle in Peking University, but everyone was saying that if she was not cold and nonchalant and she did not stay away from the school activities, or when she did participate, she did not insist on working backstage, she would have become the school belle. Her ‘Cups’ song back then was the most perfect song that was sung in school.
Although the position of the school belle was given to someone else in the end, everyone knew that there was only one school belle, and it was Qiao Nan. To this end, everyone in Peking University hailed Qiao Nan as the moon goddess. She was the hidden school belle of Peking University.
When they were in school, Qiao Nan had fewer stage appearances than her, but right now, Qiao Nan was so dazzling that she could not open her eyes. Yu Xiaoxiao felt gloomy and upset. “Dad, Mom, I’m sleepy. I won’t watch television anymore. The two of you can watch the shows. I have set the alarm clock in my room. I’ll wake up by myself for work tomorrow. Mom, Dad, you don’t have to worry about me. You can have more sleep.”
With that, Yu Xiaoxiao stood up and went back to the room without another word.
Her parents did not notice that their daughter was behaving strangely. They continued to watch the channel that their daughter had switched to.
Other than Qiao Nan’s college classmates, Qiao Nan’s high school classmates were the ones who were most excited when they knew that Qiao Nan became one of the few female diplomats in the country. Those young ladies who shared the same dormitory with Qiao Nan for three years in high school were particularly exhilarated. “Dad, Mom, look, it’s Nan Nan! It’s Nan Nan!”
“I am not too sure whether it’s Nan Nan, but it does look like her.” They had not seen her for four years. They could not really remember how Qiao Nan looked like, but she looked similar to the young lady on the television.
“Yes, this is definitely Qiao Nan. I shared the same room with her for three years. I can recognize her even if she turns into ashes. Wow! This woman has made it big. What happened to her after she went to college? Female diplomat? My high school classmate is a female diplomat. If this gets out, it will be so cool and awesome!”
Tang Mengran screamed about in her house. She shrieked and jumped like a kangaroo. She seemed to have forgotten how to walk.
Tang Mengran made such a huge commotion that her neighbors could hear the screams as well.
