"You're really something, bringing your parents here. I wish I could bring my parents to live with us sometime. You have no idea how much I miss them lately."
Zhou Meiling felt very disappointed; she was useless, only good for going to school. Unlike Qiao Xiaoni, who not only excelled in her studies but also made money through business. Although she didn't know exactly how much money Qiao Xiaoni had earned, she guessed it must have been a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have brought her parents over to enjoy a comfortable life.
Qiao Xiaoni saw that Jia Yue was about to enter the classroom and quickly said to her, "Don't mention pulling the teacher in. Let's talk after class."
Zhou Meiling nodded and didn't say anything more. Instead, she looked up at the podium and waited for class to begin.
Jia Yue saw Qiao Xiaoni, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, come to class. She felt no joy whatsoever. Because Qiao Xiaoni hadn't participated in the last exam, her class came in last place overall, and she had been severely reprimanded by the principal.
Thinking of this, Jia Yue stormed over angrily and asked directly:
"Qiao Xiaoni, aren't you going to explain what you've been doing all this time? Even if a loved one passed away, it wouldn't take this long. If all the students acted like you, how am I supposed to manage them?"
Qiao Xiaoni stood up: "Teacher, I've already asked the principal for leave. I've explained the reasons to him. Are you dissatisfied with me now, or with the principal's decision?"
She slammed the book in her hand onto the table; Jia Yue was truly furious.
"How dare you talk back to me like that? Have you forgotten that I'm your teacher?"
"Teacher, of course you are my teacher, otherwise why would I explain so much to you! I have said everything. If you think I did something wrong, you can ask the principal to punish me." Qiao Xiaoni thought to herself that Teacher Jia might have been provoked by Tang Jiajia again.
Thinking about this, I noticed her seat was still empty. I wondered if Tang Jiajia had attended school during my absence. Why was she making things difficult for me? I still couldn't figure it out. Logically speaking, they didn't have any interaction, nor had they had any conflicts.
This is too unbelievable. We need to find a way to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, with someone like this constantly stabbing us in the back, who knows what they might do?
Jia Yue nearly broke her own fingernails. She picked up the book on the table and stormed back to the podium to start the lesson.
This little incident made the lesson a bit unsettling.
Qiao Xiaoni was asked the question four times, and she answered all of them correctly in front of her classmates. She successfully saw Jia Yue's face turn ashen with anger.
The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
Jia Yue took her books and slunk away from the classroom.
The students sitting in the classroom gathered around in twos and threes, asking what Qiao Xiaoni had been doing at home all this time and why it had taken her so long to come to school.
Qiao Xiaoni offered a few perfunctory explanations and then stopped. Everyone, finding it uninteresting, returned to their seats.
Sun Jie walked in from outside, his clothes clearly changed. There were scratch marks on his face. His classmates pointed and whispered among themselves, mostly talking about what had happened that morning. The school was so big; if one person knew, another would soon find out too.
Zhou Meiling was stunned; she found it so unbelievable!
