Chapter 28 Who Do You Say I Am? The rear window rolled down, and Fu Xuefan leaned out...
The backseat window rolled down, and Fu Xuefan poked his head out to look at her, his face filled with displeasure: "What are you standing there for? Get in the car. I've been waiting for you for over ten minutes."
Lin Xicai raised her eyes and glanced around, then was silent for a moment and got into the car.
Lin Xicai and Fu Xuefan sat in the back row. The carriage was spacious, and with each sitting on their own side, they didn't get in each other's way. Fu Xuefan seemed in a good mood, occasionally chatting with Fu Yanxiu, somewhat flattered by her brother's arrival.
Lin Xicai sat in her seat, quiet and well-behaved, not saying a word, as if she was deliberately trying to reduce her presence.
Fu Yanxiu's gaze fell on her slightly dazed eyes through the rearview mirror, and his brows slightly frowned.
Fu Yanxiu could see that she didn't want to get too close to them, and was even deliberately avoiding them.
He later heard about Li Ci's affairs. Fu Yanxiu recalled the last time she suddenly went to and from school with Fu Xuefan again, and guessed that she was avoiding Li Ci at that time. So what about this time? What was the reason this time?
Fu Yanxiu intuitively felt that this person might have encountered some trouble again, but he couldn't guess what the trouble was.
"By the way, brother, we have a parents' meeting this Thursday. Will you or dad come?"
This was the first time that Fu Xuefan looked forward to a parent-teacher meeting. Firstly, she had made a lot of progress and did well in the exams. Secondly, things were different now. The mountain that once weighed on her head collapsed overnight, and now the people were even worse than her. She felt like a liberated serf singing with pride.
Fu Yanxiu was driving the car. Hearing this, he replied calmly, "It depends on Dad's schedule. Whoever is free can go."
"Where's Zhong Fei?" Fu Xuefan glanced to the side. "Will Aunt Ping go to your parent-teacher conference? Hey, Aunt Ping used to go to parent-teacher conferences just to show her face, but now..."
Fu Xuefan intended to mock her, but this was exactly what Lin Xicai was worried about.
In the past, the original owner's mother always attended parent-teacher meetings as the mother of the top student in the grade, but now, she has to face a test paper that ranks last in the grade. Not to mention whether she herself will feel disappointed, Lin Xicai finds it a bit cruel just thinking about it.
Lin Xicai turned her head to look at Fu Xuefan, suddenly picked up her cell phone, tapped the screen twice with her fingertips, and signaled Fu Xuefan to look at the phone.
Seeing this, Fu Xuefan immediately took out his phone and said with a smile: "Sorry, I forgot you are mute now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the car suddenly jolted. Fu Yanxiu looked over through the rearview mirror and asked, "What do you mean by mute?"
"Don't you know, brother? We have a new mute character," Fu Xuefan said jokingly, with a hint of sarcasm, "First he became a fool, now he's mute. Who knows if he'll become deaf next time."
Lin Xicai was too lazy to refute - of course, she couldn't say anything even if she wanted to refute. She just sat there quietly, with her head down, letting her hair fall on both sides of her cheeks. Her slender white fingers tapped on the screen of her mobile phone and typed a line of words.
Lin Xicai: [I don't want Mom to know about the parent-teacher conference. Can you help me keep it a secret?] Fu Xuefan stared at the words and was about to type a response when she realized she could speak. She said directly, "You want me to help you keep the school's parent-teacher conference a secret?"
Lin Xicai looked at her and nodded seriously, her big eyes watery and clear.
Fu Xuefan was puzzled. "Why should I help you tell such a lie?"
Lin Xicai lowered her head and typed a few more words: [What you just said is very right. You don’t want to make her sad, do you?]
Fu Xuefan pursed her lips, her eyes flickered with hesitation, but she still muttered softly, "You are the one who made her sad, what does it have to do with me..."
"What's wrong with your throat?" Fu Yanxiu asked suddenly, his voice low and cold.
Lin Xicai looked up, and the two looked at each other through the rearview mirror.
Lin Xicai was stunned for a moment, a distant arc appeared at the corner of her lips, and she shook her head slightly.
How embarrassing, Lin Xicai thought, if she had known earlier, she should have left some room for maneuver when she spoke in the living room that time, now...oh.
Fortunately, Fu Yanxiu's question was probably just a polite gesture, so he immediately withdrew his gaze coldly and ignored her.
Lin Xicai didn't take it to heart and continued to try to win over Fu Xuefan. Fu Xuefan seemed to be in a good mood because she rarely came to ask her for something. She seemed to be about to agree, but also seemed to be teasing her, neither giving in nor giving a definite answer.
"Even if I agree, do you think you can keep it a secret?"
【Your brother is not a talkative person.】
"Of course my brother isn't a talkative person, so he wouldn't bother to expose you. But don't forget, my dad will definitely find out. Would he keep it a secret when he goes to the parent-teacher conference? Aunt Ping will definitely find out by then."
"That's why I'm asking for your help, Uncle Fu's beloved daughter. Uncle Fu is so kind, if you just come forward and tell him about it, he'll definitely keep it quiet, and my mother won't know about it."
Fu Xuefan stared at the string of words and frowned. "You even asked me to ask my dad for a vaccination. You really know how to order people around."
Along the way, perhaps because Lin Xicai's emotional value was quite satisfactory to the young lady, when the car was about to drive into the villa, Fu Xuefan finally said reluctantly, "I'll talk to Dad. Whether Dad is willing to do this for you is none of my business."
Lin Xicai's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she smiled and nodded.
Fu Xuefan looked at her, and suddenly moved his face closer, examining her from a very close distance. Lin Xicai was puzzled by her stare. After a long while, Fu Xuefan said hesitantly: "Why do I feel that after becoming mute, you are more pleasing to the eye than before..."
Fu Yanxiu looked at Fu Xuefan's indecent behavior through the rearview mirror and frowned, "Fu Xuefan, sit back!"
Fu Xuefan snorted and sat back upright.
......
The parent-teacher meeting was scheduled for 2 p.m. on Thursday, and parents began to arrive one after another before 1 p.m.
Lin Xicai hadn't told Zhong Ping, and since she wouldn't be coming, this parent-teacher meeting had nothing to do with her. Lin Xicai helped Xiang Ling point out seats to some parents at the door, then sauntered off with her schoolbag in hand.
——In fact, according to the arrangement, parents sat in the students' seats, and students had to stand at the blackboard at the back of the classroom to listen. There seemed to be some sensational segments arranged later. Lin Xicai was too lazy to join in the fun, so she might as well go to a coffee shop in a nearby shopping mall to do her homework.
Almost immediately after Lin Xicai left, there was a sudden commotion in the corridor on the fifth floor.
Men and women were joking and playing in the corridor when a handsome young man came over. The young man looked two or three years older than them. His every move was dignified and solemn, and he stood out from the crowd.
In addition, he was wearing casual clothes. The clothes were not branded but had a very special texture. They contrasted sharply with the gray uniforms of others. He was particularly dazzling standing there. The people who were originally gathered together to chat in the corridor could not help but glance at him and talk about him in whispers.
The brave girls noticed that he seemed to be looking for someone, so they took the initiative to step forward and ask. He gave a name. The girls were slightly surprised, and then with blushing faces, they led him to a fancy seat.
Fu Yanxiu couldn't help but frown as he stared at the Christmas tree-like thing covered with posters and various stickers, and even a cactus on it.
The head teacher had walked in and stood at the podium. Fu Yanxiu hesitated for a moment, then sat down in that seat with a look of disgust on his face.
Two days ago, Fu Xuefan told Fu Changmin about Zhong Fei's concerns and plans at the dinner table. Fu Changmin laughed and agreed readily. It happened that Fu Yanxiu was about to leave after dinner. Fu Changmin thought of something and stopped him, saying, "Yanxiu, you have nothing to do tomorrow, come over and take a trip."
Fu Yanxiu naturally refused, but Fu Changmin seemed not to hear him. He gave him a few instructions and left without caring whether he was happy or not.
As soon as Fu Changmin left, Fu Xuefan exploded and blocked her brother's way: "Why? You haven't even held a parent-teacher meeting for me! Do you really want to go?"
Fu Yanxiu looked indifferent, silent for a moment, and frowned: "I'm not that free." Fu Xuefan stopped talking after hearing this, and his expression eased a little.
Fu Yanxiu sat down on the fancy and somewhat stupid seat, staring at the pair of rabbit-shaped water cups next to the cactus, feeling confused and angry with himself.
He did not lie to Fu Xuefan, he really had no intention of coming.
As for why he came again, maybe...
Maybe he wants to find more flaws about this person.
He shouldn't be curious about what this person is doing and what she wants to do, but recently his attention can't help but be focused on such boring things.
The monthly exam papers were placed on the desk. When the parents were looking through their children's papers, Fu Yanxiu also lowered her head and picked up hers.
Fu Yanxiu flipped through the test papers page by page, and his frown deepened the more he read.
The scores on the test papers are unbearable to look at, but every test paper is filled up, with marks and strokes on it, showing obvious traces of doing the test.
Putting aside the accuracy rate, the seriousness of the person doing the test is revealed everywhere.
So she didn't get this score on purpose, but she took the test seriously... and ended up being the last in the class.
Fu Yanxiu took the test papers with a cold face and flipped through them over and over again. The scores on the test papers were glaring, and the expression on his face was even more uglier than that of some of the parents present.
At that moment, a shadow suddenly fell from the side, cutting the test papers into light and dark sides.
Fu Yanxiu raised his eyes and met a strange face. The man looked at him with his eyes lowered. His appearance was deep and bright, but his temperament was at the other extreme. He was gloomy, cold and dead.
He seemed to have an innate hostility towards him. His tone was light, but with a sense of oppression that was inconsistent with his age: "Who told you to sit here?"
Fu Yanxiu looked at the man, ignored his question, and asked, "Who are you?"
Xie Shi's gaze fell quietly on his hand that was casually playing with Lin Xicai's hairband. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "This is my position. Who do you say I am?"
