The words had barely left her mouth when Lu Ti was shocked.
Zhen Lei was even more shocked than she was.
Yang Tian, who was standing to the side, was completely petrified.
Before everyone could react, three men and one woman walked in through the door.
"Eh..."
"Dad Ji? Mom Liu?"
"Why is it you?"
"I knew Ji Yuzhi was a jerk, how could he possibly be having a relationship behind our backs?"
"Aunt Lu? Uncle?"
The four parents and two children were surprised yet understood.
...
Liu Ye and Ji Quanzhou came to the school at the invitation of Ji Yuzhi's teacher. For them, the fact that their son, who was always reliable and an excellent student, was being called in for a parent-teacher meeting was somewhat exciting. They even put aside their research and rushed back, dressing up a little more carefully, just like the Zhen couple, before coming.
Upon arriving at the senior year teachers' office, the teachers, perhaps out of curiosity about the parents of top students, kept glancing at Ji Yuzhi's parents.
Unlike Yang Tian, Ji Yuzhi's homeroom teacher was much more forceful and angry. He wanted to catch Ji Yuzhi in a relationship and tell his parents directly. Therefore, he did not ask Ji Yuzhi to listen in when he received Ji Yuzhi's parents.
"Please have a seat, gentlemen. Would you like some tea?"
"No need to be so polite." Ji Quanzhou looked up and stopped the homeroom teacher's movement.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. It seems that our classmate Ji's excellence is hereditary..." The homeroom teacher praised Ji Yuzhi.
Ji's parents showed no emotion whatsoever; it was as if the homeroom teacher was praising a complete stranger.
The homeroom teacher then subtly inquired about the two students' professions.
After learning that Ji Yuzhi came from an intellectual family, the homeroom teacher was even more confident that he and his parents could control Ji Yuzhi's early romantic relationship.
After the praise ended, the homeroom teacher got down to business.
"You two know that Ji went to participate in the independent enrollment a few days ago, right?"
"...maybe?" Liu Ye and her husband exchanged a glance. "I've heard you mention it."
The homeroom teacher was speechless for a moment.
Ji Quanzhou stepped in to smooth things over: "Yuzhi has always been a thoughtful child, and we rarely interfere with his decisions."
"I see." The homeroom teacher nodded in understanding and got straight to the point: "I called you two here mainly because I have something to tell you two parents. It seems that Ji Yuzhi is in a relationship. As you know, this is the most important time for the college entrance examination. Ji is often not at school now. If it were like before when he was competing, that would be fine, but now he often disappears without a trace."
"I learned from his classmates that he has become very close to a girl. The girl is in a lower grade, so it's fine if her studies aren't urgent. But our classmate Ji can't let a girl interfere with his studies."
"It just so happens that I discussed it with the girl's homeroom teacher and we invited both sets of parents to meet and have a good talk. I'm genuinely worried about our children's grades. Last time, because that girl, Ji Yuzhi, skipped the exam, she lost first place and a guaranteed admission spot. The college entrance exam is just around the corner, and their studies can't fall behind."
The homeroom teacher was still lecturing the two of them.
His gaze lingered on the faces of the two parents, and seeing their obvious worry, he felt relieved.
Well known.
On the way to another office with the homeroom teacher.
Liu Ye asked, "How could Yu Zhi possibly be in a relationship so early? What about our Tian Tian? This brat is still flirting with girls outside!"
"Don't panic, let's see how things go. If it's true, I'll break his legs when I get back," Ji Quanzhou reassured his wife.
"My poor Tian Tian. Who gave birth to this brat?"
“It’s okay. If he makes Tian Tian sad, we’ll just get rid of this son.”
"I think it's a good idea."
The homeroom teacher stopped: "We've arrived. Before you go in, please don't get excited. Communicate with your child properly."
At this point, he started acting all high and mighty again.
"Mom and Dad?" Ji Yuzhi walked over. "What happened?"
Nobody paid him any attention.
What puzzled him even more was that his usually good-tempered mother suddenly glared at him fiercely.
He touched the tip of his nose.
The homeroom teacher reached out and opened the door to Yang Tian's office, first inviting the Ji couple inside.
Ji Quanzhou had just taken a step.
Then I heard it.
"Hello, in-laws."
He suddenly stopped, thinking to himself, "This girl's family has some tricks up their sleeves."
Liu Ye didn't think that much about it, but the moment she heard it, a feeling of annoyance welled up inside her. However, in an instant, she realized that the voice was very familiar to her.
When the two of them finally appeared in the office, Zhen Lei, who was regretting his thoughtless words, was stunned.
The group looked at each other.
"Eh?" Lu Ti exclaimed in surprise with a short, abrupt question.
"Dad Ji, Mom Liu?" Zhen Tian was pleasantly surprised to see the two of them: "You're back!"
"Why is it you guys?" Ji Quanzhou asked with a faint smile.
"I knew Ji Yuzhi, that scoundrel, wouldn't be secretly dating behind our backs." Liu Ye nodded knowingly: "Isn't this just making a fool of ourselves?"
"Aunt Lu, Uncle?"
Ji Yuzhi didn't know why everyone was gathered here, but he naturally reached out towards Zhen Tian.
Zhen Tian threw away her crutches and hopped on one leg toward him, leaning against him. Ji Yuzhi naturally pulled her into his arms.
The six people clearly knew each other and were very familiar with each other.
This time, not only Yang Tian was stunned, but Ji Yuzhi's homeroom teacher was even more dumbfounded.
It sounds like they misunderstood the relationship between the two children.
However, the two children's behavior was misleading no matter how you looked at it.
Could they be relatives?
You can't call them Mom and Dad, can you?
The two teachers have very rich inner monologues.
"It seems the teacher thinks these two kids are dating." Ji Quanzhou immediately understood.
"It seems so."
The four parents looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I had a feeling I should call them in-laws," Zhen Lei said, rubbing his palm and grinning foolishly. "It's not exactly a mistake, is it?"
"Of course, of course, isn't that an unspoken fact between us?" Ji Quanzhou and Zhen Lei got along very well, exchanging pleasantries like brothers. "I didn't expect my son to act so quickly! It's like finding a needle in a haystack right next door—great in-laws!"
"Oh dear, I almost misunderstood. I was thinking that Xiaoyu is with Tiantian every day, so how could Tiantian have the opportunity to meet boys outside?"
Liu Ye laughed along, "When we came here, I told my husband that if Ji Yuzhi really flirted with girls at school, we'd break his legs. I'm relieved to see it's Tian Tian. But it's good for Tian Tian to get to know some boys outside. Even though I'm Ji Yuzhi's mother, I think it's too easy for him to get Tian Tian."
"What are you saying? Xiaoyu is such a good person. Where can you find a boy this reliable these days?"
