Chapter 37: Bitterness Turns to Sweetness

The teacher smiled helplessly and said, “Whether what I said is right or wrong, you know it very well in your heart. The impulsive actions of young boys and girls, they will all be responsible for their decisions in the future.”

After the admissions officer finished speaking, he walked away quickly. Su Mengli watched this scene, and a trace of red light appeared in her eyes.

However, Ye Xuan grabbed Su Mengli’s hand and shook his head slightly, saying, “Forget it, there’s no need to argue with him. He will know in the future how ridiculous his words today are!”

The principal and the homeroom teacher were also disappointed. They thought that Su Mengli would choose either Tsinghua University or Peking University, the top two universities in the country. Unexpectedly, she ultimately chose Magic City University.

Although Magic City University also ranked in the top ten, it was still not comparable to those two prestigious universities.

Unfortunately, this decision was made by Su Mengli, and as the principal and teachers, they had no right to object.

In the end, the homeroom teacher said to Su Mengli and Ye Xuan, “Congratulations, you have been admitted to Magic City University in advance.”

Su Mengli politely said, “Thank you, teacher.”

The matter in the conference room ended here.

Ye Xue said, “Let’s go, let’s go celebrate with a meal. Both of you have been accepted to Magic City University, it’s worth celebrating.”

Naturally, everyone agreed and they left the school together, heading to a nearby restaurant.

In a private room, Ye Xue said, “Mengli, you have truly turned bitterness into sweetness. With your talent, your future life will surely be wonderful. Sister toasts to you!”

Su Mengli held a glass of juice, clinked it with Ye Xue’s glass, and drank it all in one go, saying, “Sister, when I turned bitterness into sweetness, it started from the moment I met your family. Now it’s just the icing on the cake.”

Ye Chengzong said, “Mengli, our Ye family has only done you some small favors. With just a few words from you today, Ye Xuan has a completely different life. Uncle should thank you!”

Su Mengli said, “I am helping myself. I feel that with him by my side, I will become stronger.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xue burst into laughter and said, “Alright, stop showing affection. Let’s eat first!”

The family had a joyful meal. After they were full and satisfied, Su Mengli and Ye Xue went to Ye Xue’s house, while Ye Xuan and his parents returned to their villa.

In the car, Ye Chengzong asked Ye Xuan, “Son, are you really going to Magic City University?”

Ye Xuan straightforwardly replied, “Of course, why?”

Ye Chengzong pondered for a moment and said, “Do you think, as the admissions officer mentioned earlier, because of your relationship, Su Mengli will lose to other geniuses and fall behind at the starting line? Will such a thing happen?”

Ye Xuan affirmed, “It won’t.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chengzong said, “Alright, since you say so, Dad believes you. At the same time, Dad will give you a piece of advice. If you ever feel overwhelmed in the future, don’t force yourself. Let go when it’s time to let go. Sometimes, being friends is also good.”

Ye Xuan understood his father’s meaning. Su Mengli, who had reached the top in an instant, was on a completely different level from him. In the future, they would inevitably be people from two different worlds.

And such a huge gap would eventually cause problems. One was an A-class, while the other was S-class or above. The difference was like heaven and earth.

Dragons do not coexist with snakes. Su Mengli still had a good impression of Ye Xuan now and could help him with all her might, but how long would this feeling last?

As the gap between them widened in the future, would this feeling fade away or even disappear? At that time, letting go would be the best choice for Ye Xuan.

After hearing his father’s words, Ye Xuan said, “I understand, but don’t underestimate your son.”

However, on second thought, it seems that something will happen today?

In the previous life, Ye Xuan had little interaction with Su Mengli. As a C-class Awakener, he naturally had no place in Magic City University.

However, with the enhancement of his C-class muscle strengthening ability, he also received an admission notice from an ordinary second-tier university. This was also good news.

The family had a meal together and then returned home. The only difference was that Ye Xue was also in the car that day and did not go home with Su Mengli like she did now.

When they were about to reach their home, the family was stopped by someone. The person was a newly awakened senior middle school student, the same age as Ye Xuan.

That person was named Ye Zhen, and his father, Ye Tao, was related to Ye Chengzong. They could be considered distant relatives.

When Ye Chengzong was young, he found a few friends and wanted to start a business together. Ye Tao was one of the main partners.

Starting a business is never smooth sailing, especially in the early stages. There are many risks involved. After investing 100,000 yuan with Ye Chengzong, Ye Tao was always worried.

Later, when the company encountered a crisis, Ye Tao suddenly regretted it. He found Ye Chengzong and accused him of deceiving him, forcing Ye Chengzong to repay the money. He wanted to withdraw his shares.

Ye Tao’s behavior was very unscrupulous. When the company they co-founded encountered trouble, Ye Tao wanted to withdraw and take back his money, which was like cutting off the branch they were sitting on.

At that time, Ye Chengzong was very angry. However, faced with Ye Tao’s persistent demands, he eventually found a high-interest loan and repaid Ye Tao.

Ye Tao was also kicked out of the founding team of the company. With the 100,000 yuan, he bought a car and lived a carefree life.

However, later on, Ye Chengzong used his wisdom and tenacity to help the company overcome difficulties, and the company’s performance soared.

Among the partners who invested 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, they now receive hundreds of thousands of dividends every year. They can be said to be worry-free and live a comfortable life.

As for Ye Tao? He had nothing. Now in his forties, he had to work hard all year round and couldn’t earn much money.
