After the divorce, the boss tore off my vest with his own hands

"You ask."

Qiao An raised his eyes and looked at Chu Zhixin calmly, as if he had guessed what question Chu Zhixin was about to ask.

"I can see that it's impossible for you and my brother to reconcile. I actually want to know whether it's because of the bad experiences in the past or because of some other reason..."

Chu Zhixin's tone was full of temptation, "For example, is it because of Sheng Tingye?"

"No!"

Qiao An immediately shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with Mr. Sheng. Don't worry too much. Mr. Sheng and I have always been simple friends. We are not even friends. At best, it is a relationship of benefactor and benefactor. Your brother and I can't go on because I can't get over this hurdle."

"Um, can I ask why?"

Although Chu Zhixin already knew Qiao An's answer, he still felt a lot of regrets, so he shamelessly asked again.

"It's still because of... the child."

Joan's eyes were filled with tears again. "I can't reconcile with a man who killed my child. That would be a betrayal to my child."

The woman's big watery eyes, filled with infinite forbearance and pain, questioned Chu Zhixin, "You are also a mother. If someone hurts your child, would you forgive him? Moreover, this child is his own flesh and blood..."

"I really don't have the courage to pretend that nothing has happened and continue to maintain a fake friendship with someone who can even kill his own flesh and blood!"

"I……"

Chu Zhixin was speechless for a moment. At least from a mother's perspective, she felt that she really did not have the confidence to persuade another poor mother who had lost her child.

"So...what are your plans for the future?"

Chu Zhixin looked at Qiao An's slightly melancholy figure and felt extremely distressed. She was also worried about her future path from the bottom of her heart. How could she lead to happiness?

"You don't need to blame yourself, and you don't need to sympathize with me."

Qiao An seemed very calm and smiled self-deprecatingly. "Originally, I had no motivation to live, but I am very grateful to Mr. Sheng for giving me direction and letting me know the joy of being a teacher. Good schools in big cities don't need me, so I can go to more remote places, such as some mountainous areas with a lack of educational resources. I am happy to teach in those places. I think the parents there will not despise my poor level, and there will be less intrigue among colleagues there."

"You want to go teach?"

Chu Zhixin was a little surprised, but also felt it was reasonable.

Today, Joan is like a wounded deer. As long as she lives in a crowded crowd, she will always suffer from a lot of exclusion or prejudice. Perhaps the quiet and remote mountains and the simple and kind villagers will be more able to accept her.

“It can’t really be considered teaching!”

Qiao An's eyes revealed a light of expectation, but also a little self-doubt. "I am a person who crawled out of hell. I don't have a high level of education, and I don't have any particularly impressive teaching experience. I stepped into the field of education entirely because of my passion. If the children in the mountains like me, it is my blessing. They took me in and gave me a place to stay. Or maybe... they don't like me at all, and they think I have a bad experience, or these scars on my body are scary!"

"Will not!"

Chu Zhixin quickly interrupted Qiao An's self-denial, held her shoulders, and encouraged her earnestly, "You don't know how great you are. You are the most popular Chinese teacher in Jinguan Primary School. You also brought out the champion of the essay competition. You have the talent to educate talents, but your experience is rather rough, and you don't have the opportunity to gild your resume."

"Don't worry about that. There are many ways for adults to improve themselves. For example, you can take the self-study exam to get into a university, take a foreign language, or take some technical qualifications. With your talent, these shouldn't be difficult."

Chu Zhihan had mentioned before that Qiao An actually had a strong learning ability. He had always been at the top of the class in elementary school, junior high school, and all the way to high school. He was a student that the teachers had prepared to be admitted to a key university.

Unfortunately, as fate would have it, Joan's family was too bad, with a violent father, a cowardly mother, and a brother who was a gangster. They had been preventing Joan from going to school and hoped to marry her to the son of a grocery store owner in the next village.

The day before the college entrance examination, no one knew what happened, but Chu Cihan, who could no longer bear it, took Qiao An and escaped from that family completely.

It was also that time that Qiao An missed the chance to take the college entrance examination. After that, she followed Chu Zhihan around and made a living at Luoshui Wharf, and never returned to campus again.

In Chu Zhihan's words, Qiao An was a lily blooming in the mud, pure yet decadent. Not going to university was probably her lifelong regret!

"Really? I... I'm this old, can I still go to college?"

Qiao An's eyes became brighter and brighter, and with an incredulous tone, he carefully confirmed with Chu Zhixin.

"Of course you can. Don't say you are only in your twenties. Even if you are in your seventies or eighties, you can take the college entrance examination as long as you want to."

Chu Zhixin said with absolute certainty.

"Well, then what should I do?"

There has always been a regret in Joan's heart, which is that she has never entered a university campus, has never experienced what life is like in an ivory tower, and has not learned a lot of knowledge that she wanted to learn.

If she had the chance now to walk the path she had imagined countless times, she would feel that her life would not be so completely rotten.

Perhaps, new flesh and blood can grow from her rotten soul and produce beautiful flowers.

"Do you really want to go to college?"

Chu Zhixin had just said it casually, but she didn't expect Qiao An to be really interested. The anticipation and desire on her face made her feel very moved.

This feeling is like a drowning person who has lost the will to live, suddenly opens his eyes, grabs the rope, wants to climb up, wants to live, and live well.

"Yes, I really do. I really want to!"

Qiao An nodded heavily, "I want to go to college, sit in a lecture hall, learn a vast amount of knowledge, and make myself worthy of the title of teacher."

"Then take action, buy textbooks, study on your own, sign up, and take the exam."

After Chu Zhixin finished explaining all the procedures smoothly, he patted his chest and said confidently: "If you don't mind, I can be your teacher. To be honest, I was one of the best students in Haicheng University. I can help you take the undergraduate entrance exam, there will be no problem!"
