Chapter 42: Talking about Grandpa Zhixu
There were five minutes left before the students finished class.
Within five minutes, everyone had almost lost interest in listening to the lesson and was instead whispering among themselves while looking at the grade sheets posted on the table.
"Is your mom or your dad coming this afternoon?"
“I’d rather it was my mom than my dad. My grades have slipped again, and I’m sure I’ll get another scolding.”
"Me too."
Duan Qing's deskmate is a boy, but she doesn't like to chat with boys.
So he poked Xu Yihuan in the back.
"Huanhuan, you... Oh right, I asked you last time, and you said your dad was coming."
After Duan Qing finished poking, she remembered something else.
Then he turned to Wu Qingqing.
"Qingqing, who's coming to your parent-teacher conference?"
When this was mentioned, Wu Qingqing pursed her lips and gave a shy smile.
"I think it was my brother who came."
Duan Qing nodded.
It's understandable that my older brother and sister would come.
After listening, Duan Qing slumped onto the table, looking listless.
“I’m my mom. I’m sure I’ll get a scolding when I get back after withdrawing from so many places.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingqing managed a weak smile.
Unconsciously, his hand tightened its grip on the pen.
That's really unfair.
Why is it that this young lady can get a score of 550 without doing anything, while she can only get 530 even after trying her best?
It's all thanks to the family's nurturing!
If she had access to such good resources, she would definitely have scored higher than all of them!
Wu Qingqing's breathing became rapid, and a hint of crimson appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Fortunately, she was lucky.
The score conversion system will take effect after the college entrance examination ends.
She's the one who can get high scores and stand out.
As Wu Qingqing thought about it, a smile appeared on her lips.
When I got emotional, I casually offered a couple of comforting words.
"It's okay, you've already tried your best, haven't you? The college entrance exam is coming up soon, I'm sure Auntie won't scold you."
Duan Qing immediately wailed.
"If only I were as bad at studying as you, my mom wouldn't be so strict with me. I'm stuck with these mediocre grades."
Upon hearing Duan Qing's words, Wu Qingqing could barely maintain her smile.
He almost revealed a ferocious expression, his fists clenched tightly.
What a Duan Qing!
Once the college entrance exam results come out, she'll show her what's really going on!
Who exactly is the one who can't study?!
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan's lips curled into a smile, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The people chatting were completely unaware that behind them, across an aisle, lay a small group of people.
A girl was listening intently to their conversation.
Upon hearing Duan Qing's words, Liu Ziyi smiled.
It looked somewhat frightening.
Just then, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
Everyone immediately began packing their things.
Some went to pick up their parents, while others went home.
In short, the speed is one to one faster.
Xu Yihuan was also preparing to go downstairs to pick up Wang Ma.
Although I sent her the time and location yesterday, I'm still worried she might not be able to find the place by herself.
After all, Yuncheng No.1 Middle School is quite large.
Xu Yihuan went downstairs and took two steps toward the front door.
Instead of seeing Wang Ma, I saw many familiar faces pass by.
Everyone was dressed in a suit and tie.
Most of them were his father's business partners.
Xu Yihuan greeted everyone one by one.
Just then.
A hoarse, weathered voice sounded behind him.
"Hi classmate, do you know which way to go for Class 1, Science Stream, Senior 3?"
Xu Yihuan turned around in the direction of the voice.
An elderly man in a Zhongshan suit stood behind him, looking very energetic and smiling at him.
Xu Yihuan was stunned for a moment.
The old man had a high nose bridge and prominent brow bones, and one could vaguely see that he was handsome in his youth.
Xu Yihuan felt that there was something familiar about the old man's features.
But I can't quite place where I've seen it before.
Xu Yihuan snapped out of her daze and began giving directions to the old man.
"The science class building is behind Mingde Building. Go up the stairs from here, then walk straight ahead, and it's the third building in front of you."
"The science class is on the sixth floor. There is no elevator, so you can only walk up and to the end, where class 1 is."
Xu Yihuan spoke softly, leaning slightly forward, her eyes following the direction she was pointing.
The weather was already quite hot in late May, and Xu Yihuan soon had a thin layer of sweat on her head under the sun.
But there wasn't a trace of impatience on Xu Yihuan's face.
The old man nodded approvingly.
"Did I make myself clear?"
Xu Yihuan realized after speaking that she didn't know if the old man had understood.
Xu Yihuan looked at the old man in front of her and saw him frowning, looking annoyed.
"Excuse me, young man, I'm getting old, and I don't quite understand what you're saying. Could you take me there?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan fell silent.
She came here to find Wang Ma, so she couldn't just leave before she even found her.
The old man seemed to understand something.
He sighed.
"Forget it, I'll go by myself. This school isn't that big, I shouldn't have trouble finding my way around."
"Poor old man, at his age he still has to search everywhere under the sun. If he goes to the wrong floor, he'll have climbed six floors for nothing."
The old man made himself sound pitiful.
Xu Yihuan's heart immediately became conflicted again.
"Why don't you ask your grandchildren to come down and pick them up?"
The old man seemed to disdain his grandson, and snorted coldly upon hearing this: "He won't come down! Besides, I don't want that brat to pick me up!"
Xu Yihuan's lips twitched as she listened to the old man's tone. He really was old in years but young at heart.
Why don't we ask him if we can wait until we find Wang Ma before bringing the person up with us?
Xu Yihuan was thinking and was about to speak.
The phone rang.
The caller ID shows Wang Ma.
Xu Yihuan answered the phone.
"Hello."
"You've already gone up, right? Okay, okay. I'll be right there."
The old man had already taken two steps in the direction Xu Yihuan had indicated.
When he heard Xu Yihuan making a phone call, he slowed down again.
Just then, the old man's cell phone rang.
I glanced at the contact person for the visitor—Tan Zhixu.
The old man heard footsteps getting closer and closer.
He hung up the phone without hesitation.
Fifteen seconds later, a clear female voice rang out.
"Grandpa, let me take you upstairs. I need to go there too."
The old man immediately turned around and smiled, his eyes crinkling.
"That would be too much trouble for you!"
"No trouble at all, I'm going up anyway."
Xu Yihuan led Grandpa Tan toward Class 1 of the Science Department.
Before I even went upstairs, I ran into an acquaintance at the stairwell.
"Hey Huanhuan, what are you doing here?"
Xu Yihuan turned around, and when she saw who it was, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She then greeted them politely.
"Hello, Aunt Chen."
Shen Yanxin smiled and nodded.
His gaze fell on the person next to Xu Yihuan.
The old man next to him was wearing a Zhongshan suit and looked very dignified, like a Taoist priest with an ethereal air.
"Who is this...?"
Shen Yanxin was wearing a cheongsam, her figure was beautiful, and her eyes showed doubt.
Could the people Xu Yihuan brought here be from some powerful or influential family?
At this age...
Shen Yanxin looked Grandpa Tan up and down a few times, a burning light flashing in her eyes.
