Chapter 44: The Conflict Shifts to Wu Qingqing
Xu Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then please move aside, this seat is mine, my dear brother."
Pei Yuli, perhaps pleased by Xu Yihuan's last words, actually stood up obediently.
He put down Xu Yihuan's report card.
She readily agreed, "Alright, fine, I won't sit then. Why are you so possessive of a seat?"
After muttering to himself, Pei Yuli turned and walked out the door to the restroom.
Xu Yihuan remembered what she originally wanted to tell Pei Yuli.
After settling Wang Ma in, I took a step to follow her out.
As soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into someone.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Liu Ziyi.
Liu Ziyi had always wanted to follow her around.
But she didn't know why, she always felt that she and Liu Ziyi couldn't get along.
Therefore, I didn't pay much attention to her.
When Liu Ziyi saw Xu Yihuan, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately grabbed Xu Yihuan's arm tightly.
Her eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Huanhuan! Has your dad come?"
"Where is Uncle?!"
Liu Ziyi was followed by a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who was carrying a briefcase. He looked like he was there to discuss business rather than attend a parent-teacher meeting.
When the man heard Liu Ziyi's question, his eyes were also fixed on Xu Yihuan.
It was easy to see the excitement in his eyes.
Xu Yihuan felt a little confused.
"What? My father didn't come today."
Liu Ziyi was completely dumbfounded: "Hey, not you, didn't Duan Qing say today that you were your dad who came to the parent-teacher conference?"
As she spoke, Xu Yihuan broke free from Liu Ziyi's grasp: "My dad is busy today."
"My housekeeper is here for my parent-teacher conference. Do you need anything?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ziyi was so anxious she almost jumped up.
"How could Uncle not have time? Is there anything more important than your business?!"
Liu Ziyi wanted to grab Xu Yihuan's hand.
Xu Yihuan took a step back, causing her to miss her target.
Their gazes fell directly on the man behind Liu Ziyi. The way these two acted made it easy to see what they were up to.
She frowned uncomfortably: "What exactly do you want? Can't you just say so? I have other things to do."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ziyi's voice suddenly rose: "What could possibly be wrong with us? Huanhuan, can't you just call your father? It's not a big deal!"
Seeing Liu Ziyi's persistent attitude, Xu Yihuan's face also turned cold.
He looked directly past Liu Ziyi and at the man behind her.
"I already said I'm busy. If you want to see my dad, why don't you make an appointment with his secretary?"
Perhaps it was because Xu Yihuan's gaze was too direct, the man's face turned pale and then red after Xu Yihuan spoke to him.
If they could make an appointment, they wouldn't be bothering Xu Yihuan here.
Having finally gotten such a great opportunity, how could they possibly give it up so easily?
The man gently kicked Liu Ziyi's calf with his toe.
Liu Ziyi immediately seemed to receive some signal and sprang to her senses.
He grabbed Xu Yihuan's arm tightly.
"Since Uncle can't come, could you do me a favor and help us arrange a time to meet?"
The man behind Liu Ziyi smiled upon hearing this.
"Yes, Yihuan, you and our Ziyi are classmates, so helping your uncle with this small favor shouldn't be too much trouble for you."
Most of the parents who came today are business owners.
Upon hearing this, they all began to have their own ideas.
"That's right, you won't even help with this small favor. We've been classmates for two or three years."
“Yi Huan, look, you are your father’s biological daughter, and we all want to see your father, so the minority should obey the majority.”
"Yeah, it's not a difficult thing for you anyway."
"Mr. Xu only has one daughter, so how could he not listen to you, right?"
Don't blame them; blame Xu Rongyu for never giving them a chance in business.
It would be incredibly foolish of them not to seize the opportunity.
When the man heard someone in his class speak up for him, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
Xu Yihuan impatiently shook off Liu Ziyi's hand.
"Are you guys out of your minds? I already said I'm busy. If you want to see me, why don't you make an appointment? Are you out of your mind?"
"If you are a person with disabilities, I might consider helping you."
"Look at yourselves in the mirror, you're a bunch of old fogies!"
Those who spoke at the event were all leaders in the business world.
Being spoken to like that by a junior, he began to lose his composure.
"How dare you talk like that? I think you're just saying that on purpose because you can't do it!"
"Exactly! I bet you and President Xu have a really bad relationship! No wonder you don't even want to come to parent-teacher conferences!"
"I think so too. He didn't even want to talk to you for the last two weeks of senior year. I guess he's no longer useful."
The words spoken by a well-dressed person are as disgusting as if they had eaten excrement.
As Xu Yihuan listened to these words, anger surged within her.
If this group of people can earn another penny from her family, then it's all because Xu Yihuan is useless!
A small number of the girls' parents couldn't stand it anymore, after all, they also had children and couldn't bear to see their children being treated so badly.
"You guys are really something. If you want to see them, just make an appointment yourself. Why are you making things difficult for their child?"
"They were all dressed impeccably, but the things they said were worse than animals. It was truly disgusting."
"Kid, go out quickly and ignore these people. They're out of their minds and deserve to have bad business."
...
Hearing these words of support, Xu Yihuan felt a warm current flow through her heart.
After carefully observing the women who were speaking and memorizing their faces, I turned to leave.
I hadn't walked two steps when I ran into someone I knew.
Wu Qingqing appeared out of nowhere, and it was unclear how long she had been watching. She walked towards Xu Yihuan while saying...
“Huanhuan, Mr. Xu is your father. It’s not difficult to arrange a time. If you help him out, you’ll be making a good connection.”
Xu Yihuan raised her eyelids and gave Wu Qingqing a cold look.
"Yeah, it's not that difficult. You can do it too."
"Qingqing, you have such a good personality that even my own brother came to your parent-teacher conference. It wouldn't be difficult to make an appointment with my dad."
"By the way, Huanhuan, my dad told me yesterday not to forget to come over for dinner tonight."
After saying that, Xu Yihuan turned and left, leaving Wu Qingqing stunned.
How did you end up having dinner together?
Before Wu Qingqing could react, a warm hand climbed onto her arm.
Wu Qingqing looked in that direction and saw Liu Ziyi.
"Qingqing, please help us."
On the other side, as soon as Xu Yihuan stepped out the door, she saw Pei Yuli already standing at the door.
I don't know how long I've been watching from outside.
"My sister is really amazing. She shifted the blame onto Qingqing with just a few words."
The moment Pei Yuli saw Xu Yihuan, his eyes crinkled into a smile, shining brightly as if it were a genuine expression of admiration.
