Xia Yixin's composure only infuriated her mother, who, without even asking what happened, yelled at her, "What kind of attitude is this? Didn't your parents teach you that you should be studying hard and not flirting with men all day?!"
Tiger Mom herself divorced her husband because he had an affair. She raised her son for more than ten years and treated him like her husband. When she saw Xia Yixin, she saw the image of that "other woman" from back then, and she hated him even more.
Upon hearing his mother's words, the junior felt so ashamed and indignant that he wanted to disappear into the ground. "Mom, it's not like that! Don't blame Senior Xia, it's not her fault, it's mine!"
"You did absolutely nothing wrong!" Tiger Mom rudely interrupted her son, pulling him behind her and pointing at Xia Yixin through gritted teeth. "I'm warning you, you brat, don't even think about messing with my son! He's aiming for Tsinghua or Peking University! I'll forgive you if he drops even one point!"
"Mom!" The junior student hated his mother to death.
"Shut up!" Tiger Mom rudely stopped her son again.
Xia Yixin was also angered by the other party at this moment. Why should she suffer such a great injustice for no reason? She said coldly, "Madam, please respect the objective facts. First, your son sent a love letter himself and was rejected and even tried to jump off a building. I was just cooperating with the teacher's investigation. Second, I'm sorry, your son is very outstanding in your eyes, but I don't think so."
The female teacher standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "Alright, alright, this isn't a big deal. Madam, why don't you take your son home and talk to him and give him some advice?"
The tiger mom, used to being the boss at home, couldn't tolerate anyone disobeying her. She instantly exploded, "What's with the advice! I don't care, I want to see the principal. If this isn't resolved today, I'm going to the education bureau to file a complaint. My son is going to Tsinghua or Peking University!"
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the female teacher quickly came up to calm her down, and the other teachers whispered to Xia Yixin to let her go first.
Xia Yixin understood that the school didn't want things to escalate, so she nodded and prepared to leave.
But Tiger Mom was in a fit of anger and wouldn't allow Xia Yixin to leave.
She took a few steps forward and was about to grab Xia Yixin's ponytail, cursing, "You little bitch!"
Tiger Mom's wrist was grabbed by a strong hand halfway there, and with a little force, she was pushed down.
"Oh my god!" Tiger Mom exclaimed.
Lu Yan had already shielded Xia Yixin behind him. He took off his sunglasses, wiped his hands on his clothes in disgust, and then looked up and asked slowly, "I heard that someone sent her love letters and even tried to jump off a building. Does your school want to keep a student like that in the newspapers?"
Tiger Mom got up from the ground and was startled when she saw the man opposite her. He looked familiar and had an imposing aura.
The junior student immediately recognized the person who frequently appeared in the newspapers: "Ninth Master Lu!?"
The teachers in the entire office were dumbfounded.
It wasn't until the principal, who had rushed over after hearing the news, chased away the mother and son with a dark face and expelled the junior student who had some mental problems that they began to realize what had happened.
Lu Yan is actually Xia Yixin's maternal uncle?!
Although this matter was kept extremely secret among the students, a little word still leaked out. So, that evening, when Xia Yixin was on her way home from school, she kept looking at Lu Yan with a scrutinizing gaze, making Lu Yan's heart pound.
He wondered if he had done something to upset his daughter during this time.
Or perhaps she felt she had gone too far in dealing with that mother and child before?
Master Lu was filled with anxiety until he got home and saw Xia Yixin take a pink letter out of her schoolbag.
"Sigh, I don't know what those girls are thinking. You're over thirty and they still like you. Aren't young, energetic boys good enough? Here, a love letter." Xia Yixin said, handing over a love letter that a junior from elementary school had asked her to deliver that afternoon, and then went to do her homework.
Holding the love letter, Master Lu seemed to be saying, "Meow meow meow?"
But he quickly realized that someone had written him a love letter and asked his girlfriend to bring it over, but the important thing was... what did it mean to be in your thirties? What did it mean to be a young and energetic teenager?
Is she saying he's too old?!
That evening, after taking a shower, Lu Yan, for the first time ever, began to look at himself in the mirror.
The man in the mirror had a perfect physique, and his handsome face with its sharp features had long blurred his age. Instead, he exuded a mature and reserved temperament. Lu Yan had never cared much about his appearance, but he felt a little heartbroken to be disliked by his little girl.
And more importantly, how did she see that he was no longer youthful and energetic?
Lu, three years old, was determined to show off his energy when he came out, just as Xia Yixin finished her studies and looked over, yawning.
A moment of silence.
Xia Yixin looked at his outfit and complained, "Aren't you cold in the middle of winter?"
Although there is heating at home, it is still a bit cold in the apartment, and it is indeed inappropriate to go shirtless.
For the first time ever, Lu Yan felt guilty. "Ahem, I forgot to bring my clothes. You go to sleep first." He turned around, opened the wardrobe, took out a bathrobe, and put it on.
Xia Yixin, however, had fully sobered up after this ordeal. She realized that his behavior just now was clearly off, and recalling the expression on her face when she gave him the letter, her phoenix eyes slowly widened. "Lu Yan, you wouldn't be...?"
Lu Yan immediately denied it, saying, "I didn't, I didn't, go to sleep."
"Hey, how did you know without me saying anything?" Xia Yixin smiled slyly, as if she had caught him by the tail. When she saw his eyes turn dangerous, she ran into the bathroom and left behind a sentence: "Don't retaliate. I have to go to school tomorrow."
Lu Yan silently rubbed his forehead, sighing and laughing. He really was completely under her thumb.
February.
The first semester's final exams arrived, and her total score exceeded 600 points, finally allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief. With this score, getting into the school she wanted was no longer a problem.
The final exams are followed by the Spring Festival. This February is destined to be anything but peaceful.
First, someone posted Xia Yixin's grades online, which attracted many likes. Some praised her academic ability, while others questioned whether she had faked them, since they were so different from her previous grades. But none of this was as exciting as another piece of news.
#Xia Yixin becomes the 'Guardian' Project Ambassador#
The so-called "protection project" is actually an anti-trafficking campaign. Because of the previous case in Yongning Village, the safety of women and children has received special attention from all sectors of society.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huaguo Charity, the largest public welfare organization in China, announced the establishment of a brand-new "Guardian Project".
In other words, it promotes self-protection for women and children, and provides charitable assistance to some victimized girls to help them overcome their psychological trauma.
This "protection project" attracted investment from numerous large corporations across China and even globally.
The Qin family was the first, followed by the Zhao family and the Shao Group. In one fell swoop, these three major groups invested funds, accumulating hundreds of billions of US dollars overnight.
