Time flies, and soon it will be the parent-teacher conference at Gin-Gao High School.
He Yuan returned to the He family home wearing what he considered to be his best clothes.
He Sui, who had just found out about the parent-teacher meeting, was speechless.
He Ning: "..."
He Zhou: "Ha!"
That damn woman doesn't take them seriously at all. She didn't even let anyone know about such a big event as the parent-teacher meeting. Does she think anyone cares?
He Jing looked completely innocent as she faced the pairs of eyes that were filled with disappointment or anger.
He Sui shouted, "He Jing, explain yourself!"
All I did was send her to University A, and wow, He Yuan even held her parent-teacher conference, and I had no idea!
He Jing readily admitted in a cute tone, "Fourth Brother, I'll tell you when we get back, or it'll be too late if we don't leave now."
He Yuan frowned and scolded He Sui: "Talk to your sister properly. We'll talk about it when you get back."
Come back...what else is there to say after you come back!
He Sui felt extremely wronged.
He should have been allowed to attend this parent-teacher conference.
He Jing kept it from him just like that.
He Ning's furrowed brows gradually relaxed. It was just a parent-teacher meeting; whether he went or not didn't matter. Anyway, He Jing had already shown him enough concern in the past few days, and he couldn't be so greedy.
He Zhou glanced at the two figures standing together, and snorted, thinking: It seems she won't get those little leather shoes.
...
The parent-teacher meeting went very smoothly. He Jing ranked first in the class in the final exam and deservedly received praise from the teacher. All the parents in the class cast strange glances at He Yuan, who felt honored.
There was an empty seat next to him. Looking at the report cards, He Jing's deskmate's surname was Yan, and his grades were just as excellent as He Jing's, but he didn't know why his parents hadn't come.
After the parent-teacher meeting ended, He Yuan stepped out of the classroom and saw He Jing leaning against the railing, looking utterly bored. He turned around as soon as he heard footsteps.
Her smile was bright and radiant, striking straight into He Yuan's heart.
Just as He Yuan was about to speak to her, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "He Jing's parent, wait a moment."
It was the homeroom teacher who chased after them.
The other parents had already left; some were beaming, while others looked gloomy. It seemed that some students could enjoy their summer vacation in peace, while others were going to suffer some physical pain.
He Yuan looked at the homeroom teacher and greeted her gently and politely, "Teacher."
The homeroom teacher walked up to He Yuan, took out an envelope from her bag, and said without avoiding He Jing's gaze, "This is the end-of-term scholarship issued by the school. It should have been given to He Jing, but since you are here, please accept it on her behalf."
He Yuan slightly opened his eyes, somewhat puzzled.
Although he rarely went home, he knew that He Jing had received a scholarship this semester.
Moreover, he had never heard of any school offering end-of-term scholarships.
The homeroom teacher praised He Jing, saying, "Given He Jing's exceptional talent, the school leadership values her highly and has awarded her an additional scholarship this semester. We hope she will continue her efforts next semester."
He Yuan then understood what was really going on and accepted the money.
He Jing smiled and said, "Thank you for the guidance from the school and teachers. I will continue to work hard."
The homeroom teacher nodded, exchanged some more pleasantries with He Yuan, and then left in her high heels.
He Yuan held the envelope, feeling its heavy weight, and turned to say seriously, "He Jing, you are truly amazing."
He had never seen a student receive two scholarships from the school, so the school was really going to great lengths to prevent her from being snatched away...
He Jing tilted her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, and looked youthful and playful: "Right? But I think I'm not even a tenth as good as my older brother."
