Leng Fei and his wife didn't arrive until the afternoon. By then, the homeroom teacher's anger had reached its peak. As soon as Leng Fei and his wife appeared in the office, the homeroom teacher began to interrogate them.

"Mom and Dad, I'm not trying to be mean, but do you parents even care about your child anymore?"

"I called you around 9 a.m., look at the time of day!"

"I don't mean to criticize you, but could you please take this child's education seriously? If you continue like this, even a perfectly good child will become a useless person!"

Leng Fei kept smiling apologetically at the homeroom teacher, "Teacher... Teacher, please calm down. We've been just too busy, we really haven't been able to get away. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please calm down."

The original owner's mother, Wang Jing, chimed in, "That's right, teacher. We came right away as soon as we finished our work here. We're really sorry. Did our Leng Yue do something to offend you? Don't worry, I'll give her a good talking to later!"

The homeroom teacher's expression softened after Leng Fei and his wife coaxed her for a while. Looking at Leng Yue, who had been standing silently to the side, she said, "Go, go, go tell your parents yourself what you did wrong."

Leng Yue was watching intently when she suddenly heard her name called. She glanced at her homeroom teacher, then at Leng Fei and his wife, and briefly explained her homework with her head down.

Leng Fei didn't say anything, but told the homeroom teacher, "Teacher, don't worry, I will make Leng Yue rewrite it when I get back, and I will discipline her properly from now on."

The homeroom teacher's anger subsided considerably. "It's not that I want to interfere in your family's affairs, but Leng Yue is actually a good child. You shouldn't spoil her younger brother too much just because he's a girl. Look at what's been done to her homework!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jing instantly became agitated. She strode over to Leng Yue and shoved her hard, saying, "You brat, you think you're so tough now? You even dare to ask someone to do your homework for you? Just you wait, I'll settle the score with you when we get home."

Wang Jing knew, of course, that Leng Yue didn't have a younger brother. They hadn't been home for a while, so Leng Yue should be alone at home. Judging from the teacher's words, it meant someone else had entered the house.

In Wang Jing's mind, it was acceptable for her daughter to be poor at studying or not to do her homework, but bringing people home was a serious matter. After hearing the homeroom teacher's words, Wang Jing originally wanted to lash out on the spot, but she held back because there were outsiders present.

Leng Fei's eyes darted around a few times, and he looked at the homeroom teacher, chuckling awkwardly, "Teacher, since there's no one else, we'll head back now?"

The homeroom teacher nodded. "Alright, since it's Friday and you don't have to attend evening self-study, you can go home now. Mr. Leng, you must keep a close eye on Leng Yue. She's a promising talent, and we can't let such a promising student go to waste."

Leng Fei hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay, I know, then please wait a moment, teacher."

On the way back, Leng Fei drove, Wang Jing sat in the passenger seat, and Leng Yue sat in the back. The journey wasn't far to begin with, and it only took a few minutes to drive home.

After leaving the parking lot, none of the three spoke until they got home and closed the door. Only then did Leng Yue sense the murderous aura emanating from Wang Jing.

She threw her designer handbag to the ground and rushed into Leng Yue's bedroom. She ransacked the room, making a complete mess, and didn't emerge for quite some time.

Wang Jing pointed a trembling finger at Leng Yue, "Tell me, who did you bring back while we were away? You're so young, if you dare to misbehave, I'll break your legs!"

“I didn’t bring anyone with me, it was just me.” Leng Yue looked directly into her eyes, without flinching. “You know you’re not home? I really doubt if you even remember you have a daughter at home while you’re out!”

"Don't change the subject!" Wang Jing shouted, her neatly styled hair becoming disheveled from the force. "If you didn't bring anyone, what about the homework?"

"I didn't write the homework, and I don't know who drew it either," Leng Yue refused to say.

"You don't know? How could you not know? You actually told your teacher that it was your brother who drew it. I ask you, where is your brother?" Wang Jing trembled with anger, gritting her teeth, wishing she could step forward and slap her twice.

"Where have you been all this time?" Leng Yue retorted. "Who do you think I'll bring back? And who do you think will draw on the homework like this?"

"You...you're just being unreasonable!" Wang Jing slumped onto the sofa in anger, glaring at Leng Fei. "Control your daughter! If you don't, she'll get out of control! Let me tell you, if you do anything shameful, I'll kick you out of the house right now. Don't think I won't!"

Leng Yue scoffed, "Of course you dare. What else wouldn't you dare to do?" Leng Yue looked at Wang Jing sarcastically, thinking to herself, "Didn't you already do that in your past life?"

Seeing the mother and daughter arguing fiercely, Leng Fei couldn't help but rub his temples. Originally, he didn't want to get involved; the company had been having financial problems lately, and he was already troubled. But since his wife had singled him out, he couldn't just ignore it.

“Leng Yue, don’t make your mother angry. She’s only doing this for your own good.” Leng Fei first talked to Leng Yue, then comforted his wife, “Alright, don’t get so angry. Getting angry is bad for your health. Leng Yue isn’t a child anymore. Let’s talk things out.”

Seeing this, Leng Yue sat down on the other end of the sofa without any politeness. "She suspects that I bring people home. Does she really not trust me? She keeps saying she's afraid I'll embarrass her. If that's the case, why do you always leave me alone at home? Aren't you afraid something will happen to me?"

Leng Fei quickly said, "No, no, that's not what your mother meant..."

"That's exactly what I mean. If you dare to embarrass me, I definitely won't have you as my daughter!" Wang Jing interrupted Leng Fei before he could finish speaking.

Leng Fei tried to salvage the situation again, saying, "Oh dear, your mother's angry, don't take it seriously..."

"Is this how you educate your child? I seriously doubt if I'm your biological child. How can you be so heartless?" Leng Yue retorted.

Leng Fei said, "You should also say less..."

"I really wish I hadn't given birth to you. I raised you with so much care and hardship, and now you're still making me angry. I should have just strangled you!" Wang Jing said, her eyes reddening.

Leng Yue turned her head away, "Just strangle me now! I don't want to live anyway!"

“You…you’ve gone against the grain…” Wang Jing jumped up.

"Anyway, you don't care, so come on!" Leng Yue said stubbornly.

Seeing that a fight between the two was about to break out, Leng Fei shouted, "Shut up, both of you!"

Leng Yue and Wang Jing both looked at Leng Fei, who looked as if he had lost his parents. "Stop messing around, my goodness! I'm already annoyed enough. Can you two just be quiet for a bit?"

Leng Yue glanced at Leng Fei and his wife, grabbed her schoolbag, turned around, and went into the room.
