After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Su Li's hand trembled slightly as she held the transcript. Xingchen wanted to go to A Middle School! A Middle School was the best high school in the city, with countless students admitted to prestigious universities every year, but at the same time, it was also notoriously difficult to get into.

Gu Jinyan also realized the seriousness of the problem. He took the report card and frowned. Although Xingchen's current grades are excellent, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to get into A Middle School.

"Xingchen, have you really decided to apply to A Middle School?" Gu Jinyan asked in a serious tone.

Xingchen's eyes were extremely firm, "Dad, I want to try. I know it's difficult, but I'm willing to work hard."

Su Li hugged Xingchen in her arms with heartache, "Good boy, mom and dad believe in you, we will fully support you."

In order to help Xingchen, Su Li and Gu Jinyan began to ask around for admission information of A Middle School, consulted education experts, and invited an experienced tutor for Xingchen. Xingchen also became more self-disciplined, getting up early and going to bed late every day, and devoting himself to study.

However, the pressure of further study was like an invisible boulder, which made Xingchen breathless. He became taciturn and his mood became more and more unstable. Su Li saw it and felt pain in her heart. She turned down some work and spent more time with Xingchen to help him relieve stress.

One night, after Su Li finished tutoring Xingchen with his homework, she found him still sitting at the desk, staring out the window with a dull look.

"Xingchen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Su Li asked with concern.

Xingchen came back to her senses and forced a smile, "No, Mom, I'm just thinking about something."

Su Li walked up to Xingchen and stroked his hair gently. "Are you troubled by your studies? Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Let's take it slow, okay?"

Xingchen shook his head, hesitating to speak. He was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, but he didn't know how to express it to his parents.

At this moment, Gu Jinyan's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Hello, I'm Gu Jinyan..."

"What?!" Gu Jinyan's tone was full of surprise and disbelief.

He hung up the phone, turned around and said to Su Li: "The company called and said..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door. After the knock, the nanny Aunt Zhang hurried in, looking anxious, "Sir, Madam, something bad has happened, the young master..."

Gu Jinyan's heart sank suddenly, "What happened to Xingchen?"

"The young master locked himself in the room and refused to open the door no matter how we called him..." Aunt Zhang's voice was tinged with tears.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, and saw worry and anxiety in each other's eyes. Gu Jinyan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately rushed to the door of Xingchen's room and knocked hard, "Xingchen, open the door, it's Dad, tell Dad, what happened?"

The room was silent, with no response. Su Li also rushed over and knocked on the door gently, "Xingchen, baby, can you talk to your mother? Your mother is always by your side."

However, no matter how they persuaded him, Xingchen refused to make a sound. As time passed, Su Li and Gu Jinyan became more and more worried. They were afraid that Xingchen would do something stupid.

"No, we can't wait any longer!" Gu Jinyan made a prompt decision and turned to Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, go get the toolbox!"

After a while, Aunt Zhang brought the toolbox. Gu Jinyan took the toolbox and quickly pried open the door. The moment the door opened, Su Li and Gu Jinyan were stunned by the scene before them...

I saw Xingchen curled up in the corner of the room, hugging his knees with his hands, burying his head deeply between his arms, his thin shoulders trembling slightly, and his suppressed crying was heartbreaking.

Su Li's heart seemed to be pierced by a needle. She hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Xingchen tightly in her arms, "Xingchen, my baby, what's wrong? Tell mom, what happened?"

Xingchen felt his mother's embrace and finally couldn't help but burst into tears. His emotions completely collapsed, and the pressure and grievances accumulated in his heart poured out like a flood.

Gu Jinyan looked at his son distressedly. He squatted down and gently stroked Xingchen's hair. "Xingchen, Dad knows you've had a hard time during this period, but you have to believe in yourself. You've been great."

Xingchen raised her head and looked at her father with tears in her eyes, "Dad, I failed the test. The results of the mock test were not ideal..."

After hearing this, Su Li and Gu Jinyan understood. It turned out that Xingchen was feeling depressed and blamed himself because of the failure in the mock exam.

"Silly child, a mock exam doesn't mean anything. You still have time. Let's work hard together, okay?" Su Li comforted gently.

Gu Jinyan also nodded, "Xingchen, you must remember that mom and dad will always love you. No matter what happens, we will always be by your side to support you."

At this moment, Gu Jinyan's phone rang again. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was from the company. He hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the phone.

"Hello……"

"Mr. Gu, the project bidding proposal has passed the preliminary review, and the final defense will be held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning..."

Gu Jinyan's hand holding the phone was trembling slightly. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he could successfully get this project, the company would move to a higher level.

However, looking at his crying son, Gu Jinyan was in a dilemma. On one hand, he had a crucial job, and on the other hand, he had a child who needed comfort and encouragement. How should he choose?

Su Li also heard the content of the call. She gently patted Gu Jinyan's hand and signaled him to go back to work. Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li gratefully. He knew that his wife would take good care of the children.

"Xingchen, Dad has to go to the company tomorrow to deal with a very important matter..." Gu Jinyan was interrupted by Xingchen before he could finish his words.

"Dad, you go. Work is important. I will take good care of myself and mom." Xingchen said sensibly.

Gu Jinyan nodded with satisfaction. He leaned over and kissed Xingchen gently on the forehead. "Good boy, Dad loves you."

The next morning, Gu Jinyan went out early. Su Li watched her husband leave, her heart filled with worry and anxiety. She knew that this project was very important to Gu Jinyan, and Xingchen's entrance examination was imminent, and their family was facing a huge challenge...

At this moment, Su Li's phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from the teacher of Xingchen School...

The shrill ring of the phone broke the tranquility of the early morning. Su Li woke up suddenly. When she saw that the caller ID was from a teacher at Xingchen School, her heart sank and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

"Hello, Ms. Su. I am Xingchen's homeroom teacher. Xingchen suddenly broke down in school this morning and kept crying. Do you think it would be convenient for you and the child's father to come to school?"

Su Li's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and she recalled Xingchen's distressing cry last night. She suppressed her anxiety and asked, "Okay, we'll be there soon. Please help take care of Xingchen first."

After hanging up the phone, Su Li immediately dialed Gu Jinyan's number and told him about Xingchen's situation at school.

"Damn it!" Gu Jinyan cursed, his tone full of self-blame and worry, "I'll go back to the company to make arrangements right away. We'll meet at the school gate in ten minutes."

The two rushed to the school as fast as they could and came to the office under the guidance of the teacher. Xingchen sat on the chair with her head down, her hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, her shoulders trembling slightly, her eyes red and swollen, obviously she had cried a lot.

"Xingchen, what's wrong?" Su Li hugged the child in her arms and asked softly.

Xingchen raised her head, looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, and said with a sob: "Mom, I... I failed the mock exam..."

Su Li gently stroked Xingchen's hair and comforted her softly: "Silly child, a mock exam doesn't mean anything. You have tried very hard, and mom and dad have seen it."

Gu Jinyan, who was standing by, also squatted down, looked at his son, and said firmly: "Xingchen, you have to believe in yourself, you are great, mom and dad will always love you, no matter what happens, we will be by your side to support you."

Feeling the love and encouragement from his parents, Xingchen gradually calmed down. He raised his head and looked at his parents with determination in his eyes. "Mom and Dad, I won't give up. I will continue to work hard and strive to get good grades!"

After calming Xingchen down, Su Li and Gu Jinyan walked out of the office. Gu Jinyan's phone suddenly rang, and he looked at the caller ID and saw that it was the person in charge of the company's project calling.

"Mr. Gu, this is bad. We have received news that our competitors have maliciously spread rumors that are unfavorable to our company. Now the review experts have doubts about our project, and there may be changes in the bid..."

Hearing this news, Gu Jinyan's face suddenly changed, the veins on his hand holding the phone bulged, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He knew that this project was crucial to the company and there must be no mistakes.

Su Li also felt the seriousness of the situation. She gently held Gu Jinyan's hand, giving him silent comfort and support.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, I will go back to the company to deal with it immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li, his eyes full of apology, "Ali, there is an emergency in the company, I have to rush back to deal with it immediately."

Su Li nodded, showing her understanding, "You go ahead, the company's business is more important, Xingchen is here with me."

Gu Jinyan looked deeply at Su Li and Xingchen, then turned around and strode away. His tall figure looked particularly lonely in the setting sun.

Su Li watched Gu Jinyan leave, her heart filled with worry and anxiety. The pressure of her children's further education and the malicious competition faced by the company's projects were like two huge mountains, weighing heavily on their hearts. How will the future develop? Can their family overcome the current difficulties?
