She looked dissatisfied and wanted to get closer to Jing Yan. Just after taking a few steps, she heard a woman's voice coming from the computer.
"Honey, I can't attend the video conference tomorrow."
Jing Yan, who had been silent all this time, opened his thin lips and asked gently, "Hmm? What are you going to do?"
Xie Shizhu whispered, "I'm going to a parent-teacher meeting for Jing Yu. Don't tell anyone else."
Jing Yan was slightly stunned, a little surprised that Jing Yu had such a close relationship with his wife. He couldn't describe the feeling, and Jing Yan felt a little sour in his heart.
But then he thought, why should he be jealous of a high school student?
Besides, Jing Yu is also his younger brother.
"Okay," Jing Yan nodded, paused for a moment, and then a smile flashed across his eyes, "I won't tell anyone."
Other executives in the video conference: “…” You two, do you treat us like dead people?
After a moment, the meeting continued. Jing Yan glanced at the woman standing next to him from the corner of his eye, then retracted his gaze indifferently, put the earphones into his ears, and automatically blocked out everything.
Qiao Yi was making herself look awkward. She frowned and looked at Jing Yan for a long time, but still didn't give her a glance.
Even her usual assistant ignored her at this moment.
Qiao Yi has her own dignity. She has never been treated like this. With red eyes, she turned away feeling aggrieved.
As soon as she left, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
The assistant prayed that time would pass quickly so that the operation could be performed quickly.
Jing Yan ended the video conference and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was considering something.
After a few seconds, he opened his eyelids, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as deep as the abyss.

On the day when Jing Yu attended the parent-teacher meeting, Xie Shizhu deliberately gave Jing Yu enough face and appeared at the school gate in his sports car.
The school Jing Yu attends is also an aristocratic high school in Haicheng, and the cars parked at the door are more luxurious than each other.
Of course, Xie Shizhu is more eye-catching.
People in Haicheng had basically heard of the eldest daughter of the Xie family. She got out of the car, wearing a black professional suit and had an extremely strong aura. She was at least 1.8 meters tall in high heels.
Other people attending the parent-teacher meeting looked at him sideways.
Xie Shizhu calmly walked towards the school carrying her bag.
Arriving at the door of Jing Yu's class, Xie Shizhu glanced inside. Every table of students was accompanied by their parents, except Jing Yu, who was sitting in the last row, crawling alone on the table, staring at the scenery outside the window.
Xie Shizhu found that all the other seats in the last row were empty except Jing Yu. She frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
Jing Yu seemed to feel the gaze, and he suddenly raised his head from the crook of his arms. When he saw Xie Shizhu, his eyes lit up.
Xie Shizhu is tall and wears a white shirt that outlines her slender waist. The A-line skirt above the knees sets off her long and straight legs. Her black hair is naturally slightly curled and draped lazily on her shoulders.
The scorching sunlight from the corridor window poured onto her back, dyeing some of her hair golden.
Jing Yu is in his second year of middle school. When he saw Xie Shizhu, a description popped up in his mind: Xie Shizhu is an angel.
But Xie Shizhu could never have predicted what was in Jing Yu's mind. Under the gaze of everyone in the classroom, she walked up to Jing Yu in high heels.
Jing Yu immediately jumped up from his seat, pulled out the chair for him like a gentleman, and said with a slightly red cheek, "Sister, I didn't expect you to really come."
Xie Shizhu smiled, sat down, and whispered, "I will definitely fulfill my promise to you."
"Yeah, thank you, sister." Jing Yu sat down excitedly, and even sorted out the books that had piled on the table.
After a while, Jingyu's head teacher came to the classroom and saw someone holding a parent-teacher meeting for Jingyu. His eyes flashed with surprise.
After all, it was the first time in two years that someone had held a parent-teacher meeting for Jingyu.
The head teacher coughed lightly and began to discuss children's issues with other parents.
Finally, the head teacher walked to the last row.
Xie Shizhu stood up from her chair with a faint smile on her face: "Hello, I am Jing Yu's sister. Thank you for your guidance over the past two years."
The head teacher was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, I know Jingyu's parents are very busy, but no matter how busy they are, they still have to care about their child's physical and mental development. His grades are not ideal now, and although his family will arrange his future, if he doesn't learn anything in school, he will definitely suffer in society."
Jing Yu sat on the chair, holding the pen with his slender fingers, poking at the notebook constantly, with an uneasy expression.
"Okay, I'll find a tutor to help him keep up with his studies," Xie Shizhu nodded, and glanced at Jingcheng out of the corner of his eye. He saw that he was tense all over and stared at the pen in his hand in a daze.
He seemed afraid that Xie Shizhu would have a bad impression of him.
Xie Shizhu retracted his gaze, smiled at the head teacher, and said the most pointed words in the most gentle tone: "But, letting Jingyu sit alone in the back row is actually a bit of a blow to the child's self-confidence. They also have dignity."
Jing Yu suddenly loosened the pen that was gripped by his fingertips, and looked at Xie Shizhu's profile in a daze.
The head teacher frowned slightly and thought for a long time, "Okay, I will rearrange Jing Yu's seat."
Xie Shizhu smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, teacher. I will educate him on his brother's behalf when he returns."
Seeing Xie Shizhu's gentle attitude, the head teacher didn't want to say what he had prepared, so he nodded and started talking to other students' parents.
The parent-teacher meeting lasted for three hours. Jing Yu sat on the chair and stared at Xie Shizhu blankly for three hours.
After it was over, Xie Shizhu turned around and smiled at him, raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Is there something on my face?"
Jing Yu was caught peeking, and quickly looked away, leaving Xie Shizhu with the back of his head, and said stiffly: "I wasn't looking at you."
"Oh," Xie Shizhu stood up and picked up his bag, saying casually, "I'm going back to the company."
"Hmm..." Jing Yu pretended to be calm, "Okay."
When Xie Shizhu stood up and left, Jing Yu turned his head to look at Xie Shizhu's back. The next second, Xie Shizhu turned around and stared at Jing Yu.
Jing Yu's mind suddenly went blank and his cheeks inevitably turned red.
Xie Shizhu said calmly, "Study hard. If you move up ten places next time, I'll hold another parent-teacher conference for you next semester."
“…” Jing Yu froze, pursed his lips and said nothing.
After Xie Shizhu left the classroom completely, Jing Yu hurriedly took out the book stuffed in the desk pocket. Because it had not been read for a long time, a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the cover.

Just as Xie Shizhu got back into the car, Jing Yan called, as if he had predicted the end time of the parent-teacher meeting in advance.
She answered the phone while fastening her seatbelt. "What a coincidence! I just got out of school and you called."
Jing Yan chuckled softly, and the numb laughter reached Xie Shizhu's ears through the receiver, as if it was right next to her ear.
This made Xie Shizhu feel like his whole body was electrocuted.
