Chapter 43: The Young Master is Here for Your Parent-Teacher Conference Too
This made Grandpa Tan take a step back.
Has he been out for too long...? What's wrong with the women outside these days...?
He's so scared, sob sob ≥﹏≤
I shouldn't have hung up on that brat.
Xu Yihuan also noticed Grandpa Tan's subtle actions.
He chuckled twice and explained, "This is a grandfather I met on the road. He's also going to the science class, and I was going the same way, so I gave him a ride."
Upon hearing this, the light that had flashed in Shen Yanxin's eyes immediately dimmed, replaced by disdain.
Shen Yanxin stroked her meticulously combed long hair and said slowly, "Oh, I see. Okay then, I'll be going now."
Since they're not from any wealthy or prestigious family, there's no need to waste her time.
After saying that, Shen Yanxin took the lead and walked up.
Xu Yihuan shrugged.
Zhou's mother has always been this kind of person—opportunistic, fawning on the powerful and belittling the weak; she's long been used to it.
In her previous life, as the daughter of the Xu family, she received a lot of preferential treatment from Zhou's mother, while Wu Qingqing was despised by Zhou's mother at that time.
This situation continued until the college entrance examination results were released.
He scored zero on the test, while Wu Qingqing scored 680.
Zhou's mother's attitude changed immediately.
It's as easy for them to speak coldly to her as it is to eat or drink.
After her results came out in her previous life, the first thing she did was go to find Zhou Yanzhe.
However, Zhou's mother stopped him outside, preventing him from seeing Zhou Yanzhe.
It wasn't until later, when Kyoto University started its semester, that things changed.
Zhou Yanzhe and Wu Qingqing both went to Peking University.
Only then did Zhou's mother take pity on her and tell her about it.
She should thank Zhou's mother; if it weren't for her...
I might remain completely in the dark...
"Little girl, little girl, what are you thinking about?"
Grandpa Tan's voice pulled Xu Yihuan back to reality.
Xu Yihuan paused for two seconds, then smiled and led the way for Grandpa Tan.
"It's alright, Grandpa, let's go."
I wonder who this grandfather's grandson is. It's really reassuring to let such an old man go up alone.
Xu Yihuan clicked her tongue in amazement.
The stairs weren't long, and we reached the sixth floor quickly.
But that didn't stop Xu Yihuan from being exhausted.
He leaned on the handrail, panting heavily.
"Grandpa, the science class is at the end. You can go there by yourself. I'll rest for a while."
She gets tired every time she goes upstairs, but this is the first time she's ever been this tired.
Grandpa Tan sighed. "This young man's health is really poor."
Are you alright?
A cool, indifferent voice rang in her ear. How cool? Xu Yihuan felt that she wasn't hot anymore.
The voice sounded strangely familiar.
Xu Yihuan looked up.
The bright red mole came into view, followed by his deep and unrestrained eyebrows and eyes.
Tan Zhixu handed a piece of paper to Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan snapped out of her daze: "Oh, it's nothing, it'll be fine after a rest."
Tan Zhixu nodded, said nothing more, and turned to look at the old man.
Unlike Xu Yihuan, who was panting from exhaustion, the old man's eyes darted around nervously, looking somewhat guilty.
Tan Zhixu chuckled: "You're in good health, climbing six floors without even breaking a sweat. How come you're hard of hearing?"
Grandpa Tan was unconvinced by what was said.
He glared angrily at Tan Zhixu: "You brat, you're the one who's hard of hearing."
"Not hard of hearing? Then does your phone have an automatic call rejection function for familiar numbers?"
"I called you so many times, and you hung up on me every single time?"
When Grandpa Tan was exposed, he became even more self-righteous.
"Mind your own business! Let me tell you, if it weren't for this little girl who brought me up here, you don't know where you'd find me!"
Tan Zhixu chuckled, but ultimately said nothing more.
Xu Yihuan looked at the interaction between the two with a completely bewildered expression.
"You two know each other?"
Xu Yihuan asked about the order of conversation.
Tan Zhixu closed his eyes, looking as if he didn't want to admit it.
"This is my grandfather."
"Grandpa, this is Xu Yihuan, my classmate."
Grandpa Tan smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face deepened, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay!"
Looking at Grandpa Tan's appearance, Xu Yihuan felt an inexplicable awkwardness.
It's like a young bride visiting her parents for the first time.
"Well...you guys chat, I need to go check if the aunt who's going to hold my parent-teacher conference has arrived yet."
"Okay, go ahead." Grandpa Tan smiled kindly.
Only after Xu Yihuan left did Tan Zhixu helplessly press his temples.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
He wouldn't answer the phone, but he insisted on bringing Xu Yihuan up with him.
Grandpa Tan ignored Tan Zhixu and walked forward with a smile.
"Isn't your mom urging you to find a wife? I think that young girl from earlier was quite nice."
Tan Zhixu looked at his grandfather's back, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
Xu Yihuan returned to her class.
At the door, Wang Ma, dressed in her most presentable clothes, stood outside, looking completely lost.
Xu Yihuan quickly ran a few steps.
"Wang Ma, you've arrived very early."
Wang Ma unconsciously wiped her hands on her clothes and gave Xu Yihuan a kind smile.
"I... I was afraid of being late, so I came first."
Xu Yihuan noticed Wang Ma's predicament, and kindly took Wang Ma's arm, leading her into the classroom.
"Come on, let me take you to my seat."
As soon as I entered, I glanced at my seat.
But then I saw a tall and slender figure already sitting down in the seat.
Pei Yuli, who was sitting down, seemed to sense that someone was watching him.
He looked up and gazed towards the doorway.
Their eyes met.
Xu Yihuan's smile vanished.
Wang Ma had obviously noticed Pei Yuli as well.
He gently tugged at Xu Yihuan's sleeve.
"Miss, it seems the young master is here for your parent-teacher conference too."
Xu Yihuan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned.
Just like in my previous life.
Pei Yuli's presence here is likely for Wu Qingqing's parent-teacher conference.
Then why is he sitting in his own seat again?
Each person had their grade sheet pasted on the corner of their desk.
She put it there herself, so it's absolutely impossible that she mistook it for something else.
At this moment, Pei Yuli had already peeled off the grade sheet that was pasted on the table.
Her sharp, angular hands held a long report card, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered.
He was looking at Xu Yihuan's grades intently.
Although Xu Yihuan didn't know why, she didn't think he had come to find her.
He gently patted Wang Ma's hand.
"Please come with me."
Xu Yihuan led Wang Ma to Pei Yuli.
Before he could even speak, he heard Pei Yuli's voice.
"Why has my sister regressed so much this time?"
Pei Yuli held Xu Yihuan's grade sheet between his fingers and showed it to her, his voice casual, as if he were just asking a question.
Xu Yihuan was too lazy to pay attention to him.
He just casually said, "None of your business."
Pei Yuli raised his head, his gentle and refined face showing a hint of reproach.
"Tsk, why is a girl speaking so fiercely?"
"Isn't your brother just concerned about you?"
Xu Yihuan's brow twitched, and an unbelievable thought flashed through her mind: "Don't tell me you're here to hold a parent-teacher conference for me?"
Pei Yuli paused in his hand holding Xu Yihuan's report card and said, "Oh, no, that's not it."
