Chapter 41: Pei Yuli Attends a Parent-Teacher Conference for Wu Qingqing

Xu Yihuan didn't think much of it and replied, "3:30 pm."

Fearing he couldn't do it, Xu's father didn't tell Xu Yihuan his plans, only saying, "I'll go and talk to Wang Ma later."

Xu Yihuan nodded in agreement.

Actually, this parent-teacher conference wasn't anything special for her, since she doesn't really care whether she goes to school or not these days.

But you still have to put on an act.

Otherwise, how can you enjoy yourself afterwards?

While eating, Xu's father outwardly agreed, but inwardly he was still thinking of informing Pei Yuli to attend a parent-teacher conference for Xu Yihuan.

This might even strengthen their relationship.

After all, Huanhuan is about to go to university in Beijing, while he is far away in Yuncheng. It won't be so easy for him to protect Huanhuan.

Furthermore, the Pei family holds a high position in the capital. If Huanhuan could get their support, her path would be easier.

Mr. Xu pondered.

Next door, Zhou Yanzhe's family was also discussing this matter.

Zhou's mother, Chen Yanxin, sat at the dining table and gently wiped her mouth with a tissue from the side.

"Aze, I just saw in your class group that there's a parent-teacher conference tomorrow afternoon?"

Zhou Yanzhe nodded: "Yes, tomorrow at 3:30 pm."

"Okay, I'll open it for you tomorrow." His tone was undeniably assertive.

Zhou Yanzhe did not refuse, and with a smile on his face, he obediently agreed.

Zhou's mother then asked, "Will Xu Yihuan's father still be going this year?"

Zhou Yanzhe paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, and the food in his mouth tasted like wax.

"I don't know, but I guess so."

In previous years, Xu Yihuan's father had always attended her parent-teacher conferences.

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother gave Zhou Yanze a disdainful look.

"You don't know any of these things? What do you usually do at school?"

"All they do is study by rote and have no idea how to be flexible."

Before Zhou Yanzhe could react, his mother sighed again.

"Never mind, I should have known I couldn't count on you."

After saying that, Zhou's mother swayed her hips and went upstairs.

Zhou Yanzhe tightened his grip on the chopsticks in his hand, a fleeting look of disappointment flashing across his eyes.

Then he put down his chopsticks.

He went upstairs without saying anything.

Wu Qingqing was left sitting alone in the chair.

Their discussion completely ignored her and didn't care about what to do about her parent-teacher conference.

A rare look of bewilderment flashed across Wu Qingqing's eyes.

Sending the family maid would be too embarrassing.

How could Wu Qingqing's parent representative be a maid?!

But who else could she turn to besides the maids...?

Wu Qingqing was conflicted when her eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, and Pei Yuli too.

Pei Yuli had previously stated that he returned for his college entrance examination.

Surely we can't refuse to help with such a small favor?

But before that... Wu Qingqing was a little worried.

Back in her room, Wu Qingqing took out her phone and dialed that familiar number.

The call was answered quickly.

A magnetic, cool voice came from the other side.

"Hey Qingqing, what's wrong?"

Wu Qingqing bit her lip, unsure of how to begin.

Inside the dimly lit KTV room.

Pei Yuli sat alone in the corner of the sofa, leaning lazily against the leather sofa.

His well-defined knuckles dangled on the leather armrest, a scarlet cigarette between his fingertips, while his other hand held a phone to his ear.

"Hey Qingqing, what's wrong?"

"Parents' meeting? Tomorrow?" Pei Yuli lightly flicked the ash from his cigarette.

A crimson dot lit up, then dimmed again.

For some reason, Pei Yuli chuckled softly.

"Tsk, I didn't reject you, so why are you crying?"

"Okay, I understand. Just send me the detailed time and address later."

"Don't cry, sweetie."

Pei Yuli hung up the phone.

He took a drag of the remaining half cigarette in his hand, then stubbed it out in the ashtray.

"Brother Pei, what are you doing? Come and play! Aren't you going back to the capital soon? Who knows when you'll be able to come back again?"

Pei Yuli smiled and walked over.

The table was in disarray, with colorful lights clashing with the clinking of wine and alcohol, creating an ambiguous and extravagant atmosphere.

"Brother Pei, have you finished your business in Yuncheng? Why are you in such a hurry to go back to the capital?"

Lu Zicheng looked at Pei Yuli with great curiosity.

Pei Yuli usually only returns to Yuncheng when he has business to attend to.

But he's only been back for a short while and he's already saying he wants to go back to the capital...

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuli seemed to remember something.

He casually picked up the dice on the table and shook them.

"No, but it will be soon."

After Lu Zicheng said that, Pei Yuli remembered another important reason why he came to the capital.

Perfect timing! I'm going to Qingqing's parent-teacher conference tomorrow, so I'll take the opportunity to see her homeroom teacher.

Pei Yuli thought for a moment and casually opened the lid of the dice.

Open the lid, three fours and two ones.

"Wow, Brother Pei's skills are as good as ever."

"Who remembers that when our Brother Pei was in high school, he didn't play this game at all?"

Lu Zicheng sincerely admired him.

If he had Pei Yuli's skills, he would have been making a name for himself in bars long ago.

Pei Yuli's smile, which had been slightly upturned, straightened when he heard Lu Zicheng's next sentence.

Those nearby noticed Pei Yuli's reaction and quickly nudged Lu Zicheng.

Everyone knows that Pei Yuli's high school days are a taboo subject that no one is allowed to mention.

Lu Zicheng had obviously remembered something as well.

She hurriedly said, "No, Brother Pei, that's not what I meant."

Lu Zicheng wanted to explain something else.

Pei Yuli's phone rang at that moment.

Pei Yuli raised his hand to stop Lu Zicheng from speaking.

I took out my phone and glanced at the caller ID.

Xu Rongyu, father of Xu.

Pei Yuli walked to the side to answer the phone.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

A serious voice came from the other side.

"If you have nothing to do tomorrow, go and attend your sister's parent-teacher conference."

Pei Yuli was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled and asked, "Why don't you go yourself?"

This little old man has never been absent from any aspect of Xu Yihuan's life.

Xu's father said fiercely, "What do you know! If I had time, I would have gone myself. Are you going or not?"

Hearing the old man's reaction, Pei Yuli couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't go."

Before Pei Yuli could even explain further, the other end of the phone had already hung up.

Pei Yuli looked at his phone, which was now stuck in a busy signal.

He raised an eyebrow.

"Brother Pei, who is it? Don't answer the phone, come over and play with us!"

Pei Yuli responded, casually put away his phone, and went back into the crowd.

the next day.

Parents' meeting for senior students at Yuncheng No.1 High School.

Today, there are only two weeks left until the college entrance examination, and one of those weeks is a study break.

In other words, senior high school students only have one week left to actually spend at school.

The entire campus was gripped by a strange sense of tension.

This atmosphere even made the first and second year high school students next door nervous.

Time flew by and it was already 3 p.m.
