Monday marked the biannual parent-teacher meeting in Xiushui, and among the many luxury cars, an ordinary black sedan stood out.
The car wasn't parked outside the school like the other parents' cars; instead, it was driven directly into the school with the security guard's permission, leaving all the parents stunned.
After getting out of the car, Mr. Lu followed his assistant to the classroom of Class 10.
Having not climbed stairs in a long time, Mr. Lu was a little out of breath after climbing such a height, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Mr. Ding walked to Class 10's classroom with familiarity and saw the middle-aged man beside him, dressed in a suit and tie, looking so tired from climbing the stairs. He shook his head helplessly.
Nowadays, rich people sit in chairs so much that they can't even climb stairs!
Mr. Lu noticed Mr. Ding's gaze and blushed, but he was too embarrassed to say anything. He could only smile awkwardly and continue walking until he entered the classroom of Class 10.
Mr. Ding was surprised to find that the man who couldn't climb the stairs was actually the parent of one of the children in Class 10. He was a little surprised but didn't say anything. He followed him into the classroom of Class 10.
Lu Ziyin was called out by Zhao Qian for something and is not in the classroom at the moment, so Ding Kemeng is the only one sitting in their seats.
Mr. Lu only knew that his son was in Class 10, but he didn't know where his son sat.
When Mr. Ding came in, he saw Mr. Lu again. The big man was standing in the middle of the road, looking a bit silly. Mr. Ding ignored him and went straight to his daughter, "Mengmeng, Daddy's here!"
Mr. Ding had attended two parent-teacher meetings before, and many parents remembered him. When they saw him, they all greeted him with smiles.
"Hello, Mr. Ding!" "Mr. Ding has arrived too!"
"Hello, hello!" Mr. Ding greeted the parents familiarly as he walked, and sat down next to Ding Kemeng.
When Mr. Lu heard the voice, he looked up and saw that the man's surname was Ding.
Isn't that his son's girlfriend's surname?
At this moment, many parents who recognized Mr. Lu saw him. They were surprised to see Mr. Lu, the president of the Lu Group, and quickly went up to greet him.
Mr. Lu and several of the parents in the group were business partners. When they came to greet him, he couldn't very well not say anything, so he could only smile and return their greetings.
Ding Kemeng and her father were chatting and didn't notice the noise at the front of the classroom until Lu Ziyin returned.
Lu Ziyin was nagged by Zhao Qian for a long time before she was finally able to return. On the way, she stopped at a convenience store and bought a bag of cheese sticks, which she put in her pocket before returning to the classroom.
Because Lu's father was surrounded by several parents talking, Lu Ziyin didn't see him and went straight past the group of parents to her seat.
Upon seeing Mr. Ding arrive, Lu Ziyin dared not be too presumptuous and obediently sat down in the chair, saying, "Hello, Uncle Ding."
"Little Lu is here! Uncle Ding was just asking where you went!" Father Ding saw Lu Ziyin and had a very good impression of him, so he said with a smile.
Lu Ziyin took out a cheese stick and handed it to Ding Kemeng, saying, "I went to the convenience store and bought some food. I was hungry, so I also brought some for Mengbao."
When Mr. Ding saw that Lu Ziyin had bought the snacks that his Mengmeng loved the most, his smile widened: "You two kids have such a good relationship!"
"Yes, Lu Ziyin and I are very close." Ding Kemeng said softly, looking at the snacks in front of her.
At this time, Mr. Lu had finished his business deal and saw his son. He was right. The man surnamed Ding was indeed his son's future father-in-law!
Seeing Lu Ziyin chatting and laughing with Ding's father, Lu's father was surprised. He didn't expect his son to be so good at pleasing his future father-in-law.
"Ziyin, are your parents not coming again this time?" If Mr. Ding wasn't mistaken, there wasn't a chair arranged next to Lu Ziyin's seat again!
When the topic of parents came up, Lu Ziyin's smile froze; he seemed to have forgotten!
"Ziyin, what are you two chatting about that makes you so happy?" Mr. Lu walked over and asked casually.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lu Ziyin suddenly looked up, opened her mouth, and after a long while, finally spoke: "Dad."
“Dad…” Ding Kemeng murmured, looking at the middle-aged man in front of her who bore a resemblance to Lu Ziyin. Was this Lu Ziyin’s father?
Mr. Ding was also shocked. He never expected that the middle-aged man he had previously looked down on was actually Lu Ziyin's father.
Mr. Lu knew what Mr. Ding was surprised about, but he didn't mind. He smiled and said, "You must be Ding Kemeng's parents. You really have a smart daughter. If it weren't for your daughter, my son wouldn't have been able to get such a good score. I'm so grateful to you!"
"Ah...hahaha, it's alright, it's alright, they're classmates, it's only right for them to help each other!" After a moment of stunned silence, Mr. Ding also laughed.
Ding Kemeng noticed Lu's father's gaze and quickly looked up, smiling sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Lu."
Mr. Lu looked at the little girl in front of him. She was indeed beautiful, both pretty and smart! Then he looked at his own son. Hmm... he was still the same as before, with a fierce look on his face!
Lu Ziyin now understands why his father suddenly said he wanted to attend the parent-teacher conference—it wasn't for his grades, but for his future daughter-in-law!
The more Mr. Lu looked at Ding Kemeng, the more satisfied he became. Apart from her family background being a bit lacking, this girl was really good in every way!
Mr. Ding could also see that Mr. Lu liked his daughter, but he didn't think much of it, assuming that Mr. Lu just wanted to have a daughter after seeing a girl. He even joked with Mr. Lu, telling him to go back and have another girl.
Ding Kemeng and Lu Ziyin listened to their parents' conversation, feeling extremely awkward, but they couldn't interrupt, so they could only listen quietly.
Fortunately, Zhao Qian arrived, and after discussing a bunch of things, the two parents didn't have much left to talk about.
At first, there was no chair for Mr. Lu, but I don't know where he found a stool. He just sat down next to Lu Ziyin. It was quite interesting that the dignified CEO of the Lu Group would just move a stool and sit next to his son to listen to the parent-teacher meeting.
Mr. Ding's impression of Mr. Lu's rigidity improved a bit. The boss of a large corporation wasn't actually that serious; he was quite easy to talk to...
After the parent-teacher meeting ended, Mr. Lu and Mr. Ding were about to leave, and Ding Kemeng and her companion saw them off.
Looking at Ding Kemeng with her kind and amiable expression, Mr. Lu said, "Little Mengmeng, come to Uncle's house to play more often. You always tutor Ziyin for free, and Uncle hasn't even thanked you yet."
"Dad, you should go back!" Lu Ziyin couldn't stand her dad anymore. Why did he never talk so much usually!
Ding Kemeng didn't know what to say, so she just smiled at Lu's father.
After chatting for a while, Lu Ziyin finally managed to get his father to leave.
He sighed, turned to Ding Kemeng, and said, "Mengbao, don't be angry, my dad just..."
“I know, Uncle meant well.” Ding Kemeng smiled and shook her head, pulling Lu Ziyin’s hand and walking towards the classroom. “Let’s go, class is about to start.”
