As many parents arrived, the teacher guided them to the classroom. Inside, empty seats for students were placed on the desks, which were also for parents.

Chu Fang searched for a long time and finally found his sister-in-law's seat in the last row near the door.

The class selects seats based on exam scores. Zhong Rou ranked third in the class in the last exam and has the third priority in choosing her seat.

Hmm... ...Sit in the last row?

Very reasonable!

Chu Fang then sat down, next to Wenqing's mother. Wenqing was in the top ten in her class, and it was obvious that her sister-in-law was involved in her getting this seat.

The two were close friends, so they naturally sat together.

He gave an awkward smile: "I'm sorry, I've made Wenqing sit in the last row."

"Nonsense." Wenqing's mother shook her head with a smile. "I should thank Rou Rou. Wenqing's cheerful personality today is largely due to Rou Rou."

That's the truth!

Since becoming friends with Zhong Rou, Wen Qing has become much more cheerful and positive, always wearing a bright smile, and no longer resists going to school as she used to.

Wenqing's mother was truly grateful.

Compared to academic performance, she pays more attention to her daughter's mental health, regards Zhong Rou as a great benefactor, and treats her like a second daughter.

In the classroom, parents chatted idly.

The teacher stepped onto the stage, and everyone fell silent. The homeroom teacher then said, "Thank you all very much for attending this parent-teacher meeting. Thanks to the teachers' guidance, the parents' support, and the students' hard work, we..."

The teacher was speaking up, and Chu Fang was talking down, occasionally taking notes. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. The things the homeroom teacher was saying didn't match up with what his sister-in-law was saying.

Diligent and hardworking?

Quick-witted and eager to learn?

Well-behaved and cute?

A harmonious atmosphere?

... ...

Chu Fang really wanted to ask which of these descriptions matched his sister-in-law.

Teacher, what you're saying is really heartless.

The parent-teacher meeting lasted for more than an hour before it ended.

"Zhong Rou's brother-in-law..."

Chu Fang and Wen Qing's mother left the classroom. They heard a voice behind them and turned around to see Lu Rixing's father calling out to them.

Wenqing's mother smiled and said, "I'll go first."

Lu Rixing's father hurried over, looking somewhat hesitant and embarrassed, but said sincerely, "Thank you for your help earlier."

"Hey, it's nothing." Chu Fang waved his hand. "Your son and my sister-in-law are classmates, so it's natural for them to help each other."

He knew what Lu Rixing's father was thinking.

Just now, Lu Rixing's father borrowed his car to show off and display his power, but Chu Fang did not expose him, thus preserving the father's dignity and saving face for Lu Rixing at school.

"Thank you." Lu Rixing's father thanked him again. "I will tell my son to take good care of Zhong Rou at school and not let her suffer any grievances."

Chu Fang remained silent: "...No need."

Brother, have you asked your son what he thinks about saying this?

Lu Rixing took care of Zhong Rou?

This is such an unfamiliar behavior.

From Chu Fang's perspective, Lu Rixing suffered a lot of bullying from his sister-in-law.

What you're saying is utterly contrary to the natural order.

Lu Rixing's father thought Chu Fang was embarrassed, so he continued, "Don't be embarrassed. My son is naughty, but he has two close friends who can help Zhong Rou at school."

Chu Fang: "..."

He was indeed embarrassed, but not because of that!

Reluctantly, Chu Fang nodded, and the two chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways.

As they walked out of the school building, Lu Rixing's father said to Lu Rixing, "Rising, you must take good care of Zhong Rou at school and make sure she isn't bullied."

Lu Rixing's eyes widened, and his voice rose eight octaves: "Dad, what are you saying?!"

Upon hearing Lu Rixing's loud voice, Chu Fang twitched the corners of his mouth, his face turning red.

I'm really sorry.

Just as he was about to leave, his homeroom teacher called out to him, "Brother-in-law Zhong Rou, please wait a moment."

"Is there anything else?" Chu Fang asked.

"I'd like to talk to you about Zhong Rou's studies," the homeroom teacher said. "After much supervision, Zhong Rou has finally started doing her homework, which is something to celebrate."

"What's so great about doing homework? It's a student's responsibility and obligation," the homeroom teacher thought to himself.

But the person doing the homework is Zhong Rou, which is indeed a good thing.

A contestant who never did homework before.

“Zhong Rou is a student with a high aptitude for learning. She is intelligent, quick-witted, and good at applying what she has learned to new situations. She will surely become a pillar of society in the future.”

The homeroom teacher said softly, "I hope you can supervise Zhong Rou and make her put more energy and effort into her studies, instead of... playing."

Chu Fang thought for a moment: "Zhong Rou is most afraid of her mother. If you tell her mother, her mother will urge her to study."

Only Zhong Tingyue and Gao Ruoyun in the world can control Zhong Rou. Chu Fang can't control her, and even Zhong Ping can't control her.

The homeroom teacher then realized, "No wonder when I casually mentioned to Zhong Rou Niang on the phone that I hadn't done my homework, she immediately started doing it."

"Hehe... Zhong Rou, I've finally caught you red-handed," the homeroom teacher thought to himself.

Chu Fang looked at the homeroom teacher's enigmatic smile: "... ..., that teacher should be careful using this trick, and you have to keep it a secret for me."

If her sister-in-law found out that Chu Fang had exposed her weakness, she would definitely kill him.

The homeroom teacher made an 'ok' gesture.

Chu Fang didn't know if the homeroom teacher was okay or not; but he did know that his sister-in-law wouldn't be okay next.

As he walked out of the teaching building, Zhong Rou was sitting by the flower bed. When she saw him, she rushed over and asked, "Brother-in-law, did the teacher say anything bad about me?"

Chu Fang replied, "No, do you still care if the teacher talks badly about you?"

"No, I was just asking." The sister-in-law shook her head.

"By the way, we mustn't tell anyone about what happened to Lu Rixing's father."

"OK."

"They're gone."

After saying that, Chu Fang left the school directly.

As Zhong Rou watched her brother-in-law leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu Rixing walking by. The latter immediately sensed the murderous aura, shrank back, and ran away.

Lu Rixing wished he had two more legs, but Zhong Rou quickly stopped him, grabbing Lu Rixing's school uniform and saying, "Do you know why I arrested you?"

Lu Rixing: "I know."

"Then tell me what it is?"

"Ah... I don't know."

How could he know why Zhong Rou was causing him trouble?

This female demon is always coming up with unpredictable ideas.

Zhong Rou's eyes were clear: "You dared to show off in front of me with your father's car just now. You stole my thunder. I'm furious. Tell me how you're going to compensate me?"

Lu Rixing asked timidly, "Will you repay me with your body?"

“It’s settled then!” Zhong Rou released the other person. “From now on, you will continue to work with me at the stall, using your body to exchange for my forgiveness. As a classmate, I can pay you a salary.”

Lu Rixing's eyes lit up: "Really?"

After doing so much 'work', I've finally seen the money.

"Hmm~~~" Zhong Rou hummed softly, "Call me Big Brother."

"don't want."

"Why should I? I'm paying you a salary."

“I’ve accepted the salary, which is equivalent to me lending you money, and in return, I’m returning those two words to you.” Lu Rixing said earnestly, “This is called repaying a debt.”

Zhong Rou: "... ..."

God the hell, they always pay back what they borrow.
