Chapter 54 – Parent-Teacher Conferences
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After class, Liu Meifeng knocked on the table to get everyone to look over.
Then she said, “It’s Friday tomorrow. There will be a parent-teacher conference.”
All the students shouted in excitement.
At their age, they did not need to worry about their teachers telling their parents bad things about them. All they thought about was the fact that they wouldn’t have to go to classes in the afternoon.
Liu Meifeng gestured for them to be quiet and said, “We’ll begin at 1 p.m. tomorrow. It’ll end at 5 p.m. and we need both your father and mother to come at the same time. If they truly can’t come, there must at least be someone present. In short, everyone’s parents must be present for this parent-teacher conference.”
She glanced at Xiao Ying and said in a mocking tone, “As for certain people’s special circumstances, you’ll need to report to me in advance.”
Xiao Ying glanced at her but said nothing.
After failing to receive the reaction she wanted, Liu Meifeng glared at her before leaving the classroom.
Xiao Ying wasn’t particularly stressed. In her previous lifetime, no one had ever attended a parent-teacher conference for her, so she was already used to it.
After class, everyone gathered around Xiao Ruoxuan. Xiao Ruoxuan was feeling smug in her heart, but on the surface, she greeted them all warmly.
She even took the time to cast a glance at Xiao Ying as if she was flaunting her dominance.
Xiao Ying could not be bothered with her and turned her head away.
Xiao Ruoxuan pushed away the classmates beside her and walked over to Xiao Ying’s side. “Sister, don’t be so insensible. Daddy and Mommy aren’t really angry at you.”
“Just mind your own business,” Xiao Ying said coldly.
Standing by Xiao Ying’s side, Xiao Ruoxuan’s eyes filled with tears but she refused to leave.
The students by the side could not stand it anymore and began criticizing Xiao Ying.
“Xiao Ying, you’re going too far. Ruoxuan just wants the best for you. How could you speak to her like that?”
“This older sister isn’t even as sensible as the younger sister.”
“If only I had a cute and sensible sister like Ruoxuan. I definitely wouldn’t be as mean as Xiao Ying.”
Shen Meijia stood in front of Xiao Ying and said, “You guys are going overboard. You don’t even know what happened, so what gives you any right to say such things?”
When she said that, everyone fell silent.
Xiao Ruoxuan bit her lip, unwilling to let Xiao Ying win. “Don’t say things like that about my sister. She’s very pitiful too. After being chased out of the Xiao family, she’s had to stay with a man—ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t say anything.”
As Xiao Ruoxuan shook her head, her tears began falling.
The way the students looked at Xiao Ying changed, and they all moved away from her.
Children nowadays matured early on, so they naturally understood what Xiao Ruoxuan meant.
Out of the entire class, only Shen Meijia was still standing firmly in front of Xiao Ying.
Seeing that everyone had distanced themselves from Xiao Ying, Shen Meijia turned her head to look at Xiao Ying and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re not that kind of person.”
Xiao Ying looked at Shen Meijia’s serious expression and suddenly smiled.
Xiao Ying rarely smiled. This was the case ever since she was young. Even if she did smile, it would be a faint smile. This kind of radiant smile was something they had never seen before.
Everyone was stunned, feeling as if they had seen an angel.
The people who had thought Xiao Ruoxuan was cute before suddenly felt that Xiao Ying was cuter.
Xiao Ruoxuan’s smug expression froze as she looked at Xiao Ying with jealousy.
Seeing that everyone’s gazes were attracted to Xiao Ying, she could only cry and say, “Sister, as long as you admit your mistake and don’t do that kind of thing again in the future, we will still play with you. Daddy and Mommy will also let you return to the Xiao family.”
The looks in the students’ eyes changed again. So what if she was pretty? It was still embarrassing to have done something like that.
Xiao Ruoxuan was very satisfied with this outcome. She stood in the crowd and looked smugly at Xiao Ying.
While using a handkerchief to wipe her tears, she also used it to block the gazes of the others and looked at Xiao Ying with slow mockery.
Shen Meijia, who was standing beside Xiao Ying, frowned as she looked at Xiao Ruoxuan and said, “Xiao Ruoxuan, aren’t you making everyone misunderstand Xiao Ying even more?”
