Chapter 92: Foot-biting Devil

Attending a parent-teacher conference?

Looking back on Zhou Nuan's life of more than 20 years, she never thought that one day attending a parent-teacher conference would be related to her. After all, her parents were too busy to even attend her parent-teacher conference. She had forgotten how much she longed to see those two familiar figures when other parents attended the conference.

Now seeing Su Hang's hesitant yet expectant eyes, she seemed to see herself many years ago.

She suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and she realized that no matter how mature Su Hang acted, he was just an eight-year-old boy, and he also wanted someone to attend his parents' meeting.

Perhaps it was her silence that made Su Hang misunderstand. The light in Su Hang's eyes dimmed, and the disappointment on his little face was hidden again.

"If my aunt is busy, then forget it. There's nothing good to attend. The teacher is very nice to me and likes me very much." He just wanted someone to hear the teacher praising him.

He pretended to be relaxed. Zhou Nuan felt a lump in her throat and reached out to rub his head.

"Who said that Auntie doesn't have time? Our Suhang Parents' Meeting will definitely bring honor to Auntie. Even if Auntie doesn't have time, she will make time to attend."

Su Hang couldn't believe it and was afraid that he had heard it wrongly, "Really? Auntie is not lying to me?"

"I'm not going to lie to you, when is the parent-teacher conference?"

"..tomorrow."

Tomorrow? Usually, teachers would notify parents a few days in advance of the parent-teacher conference so that parents could take time out to attend. He must have hesitated for several days, knowing that his uncle was busy and she was busy too, but he couldn't resist the desire in his heart, so he asked without hope.

Zhou Nuan smiled at him gently, "Okay, Auntie knows, I will definitely go on time tomorrow."

After Gu Xiyue came back in the evening, Zhou Nuan told him about Su Hang.

The man paused in unbuttoning his shirt, "I remember Mom wrote to you before saying that you didn't like going to parent-teacher conferences."

His eyes were inquiring, and his brows were slightly furrowed as if he remembered something unpleasant.

Hmm? There is such a thing?

Zhou Nuan really didn't know anything, but she wasn't at all embarrassed. "The past was the past, and the present is the present. Xiaohang's parents are gone. Although I'm just an aunt, I'm almost like a mother. There's someone else at home, so why don't you even go to the parent-teacher meeting for your child?"

Then she glanced at him, "Are you free tomorrow?"

She actually mentioned going with Gu Xiyue, but was rejected by Su Hang. The little boy was very sensible and said that his uncle was busy and his aunt could come.

If Qin Yuezhi wasn't the type who didn't know the way and would get lost if she went out, he might not have told her at all.

But Zhou Nuan still wanted to ask, after all, he was his closest relative.

"Tomorrow, I have something to do tomorrow."

This guy is a workaholic, no wonder he will achieve great success in the future.

"..Okay, I'll go there by myself tomorrow."

She lowered her head to tease Gu Xiaowu again, "Dad is a very busy man. If he doesn't come to our Xiaodong and Xiaoxi's parent-teacher conferences in the future, we will ignore him!"

Gu Xiaoxi, who was holding Gu Xiaodong's feet and biting them madly, heard the sound, looked up and made two puffs, then lowered her head and continued biting them attentively.

Gu Xiaodong's whole round face was wrinkled from being bitten. He stretched out his hand and screamed "Ahhh" at Zhou Nuan.

Zhou Nuan found it funny and reached out to stop him, "Gu Xixi, don't bite your brother's feet. You have feet too, bite your own."

She held Gu Xiaodong in her arms and kept him away from the devil's mouth.

Gu Xixi lost her target, her mouth drooped, and she was about to cry out of grievance when she noticed her mother's shiny feet, and her eyes suddenly became fierce.

Zhou Nuan sensed something was wrong, but before she could react, the little electric motor Gu Xixi had already quickly crawled over and lowered his head to bite his mother's feet.

"Gu Xixi!!"

Suddenly, a pair of big hands picked up Gu Xixi, the foot-biting maniac. Gu Xixi was stunned. She looked down and found that she was already very far away from her goal. She cried out of grievance.

After crying for a few times, a hard biscuit was stuffed into her mouth. She immediately forgot her grievances and started biting it with concentration.

Gu Xiyue touched his daughter's chubby face and said in a deep voice, "Don't bite mom's feet, they belong to dad."

Zhou Nuan:?

Did she hear it wrong?

**

The next day, Zhou Nuan got up very early on purpose, but Gu Xiyue got up even earlier than her and was nowhere to be seen.

These days, she had gotten used to him going out early and coming back late, so she had to dress up carefully before going out to attend the parents' meeting in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and she had to support him.

Just as I walked downstairs, I happened to meet Zhang Xi who was also about to go out.

Zhang Xi also saw her, and after a moment of stunned silence, he smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Nuan, are you going to the parents' meeting too? That's great, let's go together."

Zhou Nuan didn't comment.

The two took a taxi. Nowadays, driving a taxi is a very respectable job with high income, which has led to some taxi drivers being arrogant and self-satisfied.

The taxi driver was sitting there lazily. When he heard the door open, he didn't even turn around and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Baohu Primary School."

The voice was clear and pleasant. When the taxi driver turned around, he saw a pretty face. The way she was dressed and the temperament she exuded made it obvious that she was not an ordinary person.

Whose lady is this?

He quickly straightened his expression and said, "Okay, please sit down."

It was a quiet journey. Zhou Nuan looked at the street view outside the car and pondered. It seemed that there were a few more high-rise buildings here than when she first arrived. It was really worthy of the Haicheng speed.

As they were driving, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes and the two were caught off guard and almost collided.

The taxi driver rolled down the window and yelled, "You are blind and you just rammed into it, are you trying to kill yourself?!"

Zhou Nuan looked out and saw a fat figure running past in a panic. The figure looked familiar.

The taxi driver was still frightened. He said "Puh" before starting the car again, explaining as he drove, "I'm sorry, you are not hurt."

After receiving the reply, he muttered to himself, "The inspections are strict these days. Those without residence permits will be arrested and sent back. These people are panicking."

Sure enough, Zhou Nuan saw two public security officers in work clothes checking along the street. It seemed that the man was in a panic just to avoid them.

Zhang Xi asked, "Xiao Nuan, have you got your certificate?"

Seeing Zhou Nuan nod, he felt relieved, "That's good."

The taxi sped past, and the fat man escaped the inspection. After wiping off a cold sweat, he sneaked into a narrow alley.

He quickly hid in one of the small shabby houses, and the sound of the door closing caused dust to fall from the eaves.

"Zhou Chang, you're back!" He Rongsheng, who was hiding in the house, stood up in surprise, "How is it? Any news about the second brother?"

The fat man was Zhou Chang. He shook his head with frustration in his eyes. "No, Mom, are you sure Zhou Nuan is really here?"

"I heard about it too..." He Rongsheng was unsure, "Let's look for her again. Where could she have gone?"

Zhou Chang suddenly remembered the figure in the taxi that he had just accidentally glimpsed. That figure looked a bit like that dead girl from Lao Er, but...

Thinking of the clothes that were obviously unaffordable for ordinary people, I drove that ridiculous thought out of my mind.

There's no way that damn girl Zhou Nuan could live that well!
