54 Support You
Fourth High School was the best high school in the capital.
Pei Youâan was just an ordinary student in school. Other than the principal who knew Pei Youâanâs identity and background, the form teacher and the other teachers did not know about Pei Youâanâs powerful background.
Li Xiwu entered the office. There were two or three teachers sitting inside. They looked to be in their fifties and were very experienced.
Pei Youâanâs form teacher was in her fifties. She sized Li Xiwu up and asked, âWho are you to Pei Youâan?â Her voice was strong and authoritative.
Li Xiwu answered truthfully, âIâm Pei Youâanâs sister-in-law.â
The form teacher nodded. âSince ancient times, the eldest sister-in-law has always been like a mother. I have nothing to say. Since you represent Pei Youâanâs parents, you have to take on the responsibility as their parent.â
Li Xiwu said, âGo ahead.â
As they conversed, the bias in the form teacherâs tone was obvious. âPei Youâanâs grades are bad, and heâs at the bottom of every exam. Not only is he not focused on studying, but heâs also focused on dating. Is this what he should do at his age? Chi Xiaâs grades are so good, and her future is bright. Pei Youâan is ruining Chi Xiaâs future.â
After hearing this, Li Xiwu only said, âCan I meet Chi Xia? Our Youâan did something wrong. I want Youâan to apologize to her seriously.â
When the form teacher heard this, she felt that Pei Youâanâs eldest sister-in-law indeed had the demeanor of a parent. She didnât pester hrt like other parents and say that she was wrong or criticize her as she protected her child. Instead, she sincerely said that she wanted to apologize.
In the past, there were parents of male students who slandered female students in all sorts of ways the moment they arrived. Their words were very unpleasant. Just based on Pei Youâanâs parentsâ attitude, the form teacher was very satisfied.
The form teacher stood up. âWait a moment. Iâll call Chi Xia over.â
Li Xiwu nodded. âOkay, sorry to trouble you.â
The form teacher waved her off and left the office. When she went out and saw Pei Youâan standing there obediently, she did not forget to reprimand him before leaving.
Pei Youâanâs expression was not good. When he looked up and saw Li Xiwu coming out, Pei Youâan perked up and asked, âSister-in-law, how did your discussion with the Mediterranean go?â
Li Xiwu took a step forward and looked at Pei Youâan, who was a head taller than her. She said slowly, âApologize to Chi Xia later.â
Pei Youâan exploded when he heard this. âWhy should I apologize to her? She was the one who framed me. Sheâs sick. I think she should go to a doctor.â
There was also grievance in his voice. He did feel quite aggrieved. How could he have expected that casually accepting a love letter would cause him so much trouble that he would call his parents?
The Pei familyâs upbringing was not strict, but Father Pei was relatively strict. Even if this matter was not Pei Youâanâs fault, he was still afraid that it would alarm the family and cause even more trouble. That was why he asked Li Xiwu to come over and just go through the motions.
Unexpectedly, she actually wanted him to apologize to that lunatic! So frustrating!
Li Xiwu looked at Pei Youâanâs angry expression and could not help but want to laugh. But it was indeed unkind to laugh like that. After all, it was such a serious matter. She took a deep breath. âIâve already told your form teacher just now that you have to apologize and admit your mistake this time. If you donât apologize, my trip here today wonât be of much use. In the end, theyâll probably still report it to your parents.â
Pei Youâan said aggrievedly, âSister-in-law, I thought you were here to support me.â He was almost 1.8 meters tall and looked like a child when he was aggrieved.
Li Xiwu suppressed the corners of her lips and said calmly to him, âAlthough youâre still a year away from adulthood, youâre half a man, right? Think about it. If I really scold that girl called Chi Xia in front of you, do you think this is support?â
Pei Youâan thought for a moment. âNo.â However, he would be really unhappy if he apologized like this.
Li Xiwu could understand his unhappiness. She looked up at Pei Youâan and reminded him, âWhen you apologize, you have to say that you have realized that you have caused a lot of trouble for the other party. Every word has to express your apology after deep reflection.â
Pei Youâan: â?â
Forget about the apology, why did he have to sound so sincere? Pei Youâan felt extremely aggrieved. âSister-in-law, are you really my biological sister-in-law!â
Li Xiwu said, âCouldnât be any more fake.â
Pei Youâan: â..â
Buzz. Her phone was vibrating. Pei Youâan said, âSister-in-law, your phone is ringing.â
Li Xiwu took out her phone and looked at it. It was a WeChat message from Han Qianye: [Are you back?]
Li Xiwu typed a reply: [About half an hour.]
Han Qianye did not reply. Li Xiwu put away her phone.
Pei Youâan asked, âIs it my mother?â
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. âYou saw?â
Pei Youâan said, âSister-in-law, Iâm really afraid that you wonât be my sister-in-law after you come back from the variety show.â He knew that his mother did not like his sister-in-law. This time, his mother probably had ill intentions when she dragged his sister-in-law to the variety show.
Just as he was thinking this, the Mediterranean form teacher brought Chi Xia over.
Li Xiwu looked past the form teacher and at the girl behind her. She had a ponytail and was wearing the school uniform of Fourth High School. She was of medium height and looked very delicate.
Li Xiwu sighed.
Pei Youâan immediately said, âSister-in-law, Iâm sorry. This has been hard on you. I apologize.â Pei Youâan thought that Li Xiwu sighed because he was disobedient and unwilling to apologize, making her feel troubled.
But in fact, Li Xiwu sighed because she was sure. This Chi Xia was Chi Xuâs biological sister, Chi Xia. There was no mistake. Because she had seen Chi Xia on the day Xie Wen gave birth.
At that time, she waited in the ward until Zheng Yuehua and Chi Xia arrived. When Zheng Yuehua found out that Xie Wen had given birth to a daughter, she was not in the mood to come to the hospital at all. After Chi Xia came, she called her sister-in-law. Chi Xia took the initiative to do what Zheng Yuehua was unwilling to do.
At that time, Li Xiwu had a good impression of this little girl.
At this moment, the Mediterranean form teacher brought Chi Xia over and said with a long face, âPei Youâan, hurry up and apologize to Chi Xia!â
Chi Xia looked at Pei Youâan and smiled smugly. After her gaze landed on Li Xiwu, her smile immediately disappeared.
Li Xiwu saw the change in Chi Xiaâs expression when she saw her. She took half a step forward. âPei Youâan said that your name is Chi Xia, right?â
Chi Xiaâs gaze drifted and she did not dare to look Li Xiwu in the eye. âYes.â
Li Xiwu introduced herself. âIâm Pei Youâanâs sister-in-law.â
Chi Xia nodded, still not daring to look directly at Li Xiwu.
Li Xiwu said, âIâve already understood the situation from your form teacher. Itâs an important moment to prepare for next yearâs college entrance examination. Pei Youâanâs actions have severely affected your preparation for the college entrance examination. Iâve already reprimanded Pei Youâan just now. He also deeply realized his mistake, so he wants to apologize to you.â
Hearing this, Chi Xia then looked up at Li Xiwu. After a moment of looking at each other, Chi Xia saw a kind smile on Li Xiwuâs face.
Did she⦠not recognize her?
