Uncle Lu was too busy at work, especially after the divorce. He devoted all his time to his work. Every time the school needed a parent to come forward, the assistant would replace him. Out of the ten parent-teacher conferences, Uncle Lu would only come at most once, and it would be the kind attendance where he would leave after saying a few words to the teacher.
Uncle Lu said that Lu Beiâs grades were good, so he did not need to worry too much. However, what Uncle Lu did not know was that what Brother Bei needed the most at that time was his fatherâs attention. That was why he did not study hard and fought with others. He became a problematic student in the eyes of the teachers. Even so, Uncle Lu did not attend his parent-teacher conference. Every time the teachers called to complain, Uncle Lu would settle it with a few sentences.
The words âparent-teacher conferenceâ were about to become Lu Beiâs forbidden words.
Wei Zihang secretly pinched his thigh for speaking too much! He grimaced in pain and quickly changed the topic. An Yu, who was at the side, also changed the topic.
The few of them chatted with Lu Bei for a while. Seeing that Lu Bei was getting more and more tired, they were going to get up and leave, with An Yu at the back. She felt sorry for Lu Bei who looked tired. Wei Zihangâs words just now made him feel bad.
She wanted to do something for Lu Bei to make him happy.
Thus, while the others were chatting and laughing as they walked out, An Yu turned around and walked upstairs.
âKnock knock knock.â
âAunty, are you inside?â
The door opened, revealing An Yuâs exquisite and beautiful face. Xiang Xiaoyuan was surprised. âWhatâs wrong?â
Why did the school belle suddenly come to look for her? Did something happen to Lu Bei?
âAunty, I have something to ask for your help.â An Yu said in a low voice, âAfter this final exam, the school will arrange a parent-teacher conference. Aunty, the parent-teacher conference only counts if the parents come.â
Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned. âParents are required to attend?â
An Yu quickly nodded. âYes. Of course, parents are required to attend the parent-teacher conference. Otherwise, it wouldnât be called a parent-teacher conference.â
Xiang Xiaoyuan looked surprised. âBut Lu Beiâs father hasnât returned from his overseas business trip. I heard that Lu Beiâs mother is temporarily out of the country...â Could it be that An Yu wanted her to attend Lu Beiâs parent-teacher conference? It wasnât appropriate, right?
âItâs alright. As long as you help, Aunty, itâll definitely work.â
An Yu nervously tugged at her clothes and tried her best to persuade her. âI canât think of anyone other than you, Aunty.â
Didnât everyone say that Uncle Lu liked his new wife very much? If Aunty personally asked Uncle Lu to come back to attend Lu Beiâs parent-teacher conference, it would definitely be successful, right?
Xiang Xiaoyuan didnât know that she had misunderstood An Yuâs thoughts. She just felt that this female side character was quite bold, asking her the stepmother to attend Lu Beiâs parent-teacher conference.
However, Xiang Xiaoyuan had no interest in the parent-teacher conference. Moreover, she also thought that Lu Bei would not be very happy to see her on the day of the parent-teacher conference. He would even think that she had an ulterior motive. She would not do such a thankless task.
After sending An Yu off with a few vague answers, Xiang Xiaoyuan put the matter to the back of her mind.
She didnât expect to receive a call from Lu Wangguiâs assistant the next day.
As Lu Wangguiâs assistant, Gao Yuan was also very busy. Lu Wanggui was on a business trip, and there were many things in the company that required him to communicate back and forth. He was even busier than some of the senior leaders of the company. However, even though he was busy, he still kept an eye on Lu Beiâs movements. After knowing that he was sick and had a fever, he quickly dialed Xiang Xiaoyuanâs phone number.
âYes, everything is fine now. Heâll be able to go back to school in two days,â Xiang Xiaoyuan reported.
She finally understood that Assistant Gao Yuan was like a spy. He would keep an eye on her at all times and then report back to Lu Wanggui. However, she didnât care about Gao Yuanâs snitching behaviour. If she were Lu Wanggui, she would also be worried that her son was with a strange woman.
Gao Yuan could hear the coldness in Xiang Xiaoyuanâs words, and his heart tightened.
Ever since the mistake of accidentally snitching last time, when he reported about his wife to Lu Wanggui, he would make a rough draft to make sure there were no inappropriate words before dialing Lu Wangguiâs number.
Now, not only did he have Lu Wanggui as his boss, he also had a lady boss. As a worker, he had to reconcile the relationship between the two.
Gao Yuan thought that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility. After knowing that Lu Beiâs illness was not a big problem, he thought of something, âOh right, Madam, there will be a parent-teacher meeting at the school in a few days. In the past, Young Masterâs parent-teacher meetings were all attended by me, but Iâm going on a business trip. Thereâs a problem with a factory under the company. I need to go on a field trip... Can I trouble Madam to attend the parent-teacher meeting?â
Xiang Xiaoyuanâs first reaction was to refuse.
What a joke! How could she possibly attend a parent-teacher conference for Lu Bei!
It was fine for An Yu to make this request. She was young and insensible, but what was wrong with this Assistant Gao? He was already so old, couldnât he tell whatâs wrong and whatâs right?
