94 Call to school
The following morning, An Qinyan still couldn’t talk to An Xiulan as the latter had to leave for school and she didn’t want to spoil her daughter’s mood if the conversation didn’t end well. She was thinking of picking up An Xiulan from school and then taking her out to play so they could have a good atmosphere to talk with each other.
She was so worried about Lu Xuan that she didn’t notice how her daughter didn’t seem like her usual chatty self. An Xiulan quietly had breakfast with her mother and went to the kitchen to ask the chef to add a particular dish in her tiffin box. She knew that Han Zixin liked to eat braised pork and rice. It was a simple dish but he liked to eat it with great gusto.
As she reached school, she ran towards her class but only to find the crowd of people withered near the notice board. How could she forget that today the result of the second monthly test would be revealed?
On the other hand, Lu Xuan entered the school with Gu Shangyan. The two of them were living together and Young Master Lu was of the opinion that they should race to school on their bicycles. Again, the loser would buy the winner a ticket to the gamer’s cafe. Lu Xuan won and he might or might not have cheated.
“What’s up with these people?” Lu Xuan asked when he saw a crowd.
“Did you forget it’s result day?” Gu Shangyan blankly asked.
Lu Xuan muttered a curse, earning a nudge to his aching bones.
“If we waited here to see the results, we will miss the first class and I don’t want my class teacher to scream at me,” Lu Xuan said in a dirty tone.
“And your teacher will get a chance to call your father to complain about the good for nothing son that be wanted to replace,” Gu Shangyan kindly added and Lu Xuan glared at him. “What I’m just telling the truth!”
‘Too bad the class teacher will call An Qinyan now, ‘Lu Xuan said in his heart. He looked at Gu Shangyan and asked, “Do you have answers for the monthly test papers?”
“Yup,” Gu Shangyan pulled out the sheet of paper from his school bag and narrowed his eyes at the teenager whose eyes were shining with mischief.
“Genius Gu is showing his answer key! Who wants it?” Lu Xuan shouted and ran from the scene, leaving Gu Shangyan standing there almost to be a victim of a stampede. When the entire crowd moved to see Gu Shangyan’s answer key, he went to the notice board to see his result. He started from the last name on the result sheet and let out a scoff when he saw whose name it was.
My mother’s daughter got last place in the school? ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
How did it feel to snatch my place, my dear mother’s daughter?
Above her was Han Zixin, the bastard he hated the most. What right did this piece of shit have to get a place higher than his mother’s daughter?
Never mind, he had to find his name or did it mean he failed?
His name was not in the last hundred students. What did it mean? Did it mean he failed?
Lu Xuan groaned. If it was before, he would be proud of failing and infuriating his father but now?
He didn’t want to be embarrassed by his mother and her daughter.
With slumped shoulders, he walked out of the vicinity only to find his class teacher Liu standing there with a fierce look in his eyes.
“Come with me to the office!” The teacher ordered him and Lu Xuan followed him but not with a lowered head but in his arrogant gait. He already failed? What’s the worst they could do to him? Expel him? Oh, they are welcome to expel him. He never wanted to study in this high school. He always wanted to go to the No. 1 high school because of their football team and that school was best for sports students but his father put him in this school where students didn’t know anything other than studies and he felt suffocated here.
The teacher lectured Lu Xuan for almost ten minutes before telling him that they had called his mother. He couldn’t understand one thing. Why was his teacher scolding him? The teacher didn’t mention him failing the exam but was scolding him about cheating?
“There are some students who actually study to score good marks and there are some who had the audacity to cheat in the reputable exam. What are you going to do in the future? I feel terrible for your father who started from scratch and made a name for himself but what about you? You couldn’t even pass an exam on your own. I’m ashamed to be your teacher, “Teacher Liu said in a disgusted tone. “Children like you are born only to destroy the great legacies of your father and forefather.”
“I would have to trouble Teacher Liu to explain to me how my son is going to destroy his father’s legacy?” A strong feminine voice was heard before a woman dressed in a black pantsuit entered the office.
She was towering over the boy and his teacher with her heels. She was surprised to receive a call from the school saying that her son had cheated on the exam. She knew one thing if Lu Xuan didn’t know the answers, he wouldn’t bother to cheat because it would be too much hassle for him. He would rather fail the exam than using his energy on cheating. And why would he cheat when he had no fear of failure?
“Mrs Lu?” Teacher Liu assumed the identity but only to be proven wrong. He didn’t know why but the woman’s aura was a bit stifling.
“It will be Miss An for you,” An Qinyan smiled as she took a seat and gestured to Lu Xuan to stand beside her.
