40: But She Had Never Thought That She Would Have to Take Care of Children!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The headmaster said with a straight face, âThere are four other students participating in the International Computer Science Competition, but their skills are limited, and they canât compare to you.
I plan to have you lead them as the team leader.â âHeadmaster, you want me to lead them?â Nan Yan confirmed again.
âYes, because I believe your skills are stronger than our schoolâs computer science teachers, and you are of the same age, so communication should be easier,â the headmaster explained, wearing an expression that said, âI have high hopes for you,â making Nan Yan feel like she had fallen into a trap.
She had intended to participate in the competition to earn an opportunity to change her name at school.
However, she had never thought that she would have to take care of children as well!
The headmaster continued with emphasis, âNan Yan, this is a great opportunity to prove yourself, isnât it?
As the team leader, winning awards in the competition will make you stand out even more.
So, you must work hard, show your abilities, and let them see that you are not worthless.
This way, you wonât be ignored or excluded by your family.â âFine,â Nan Yan responded.
She did want to prove herself, but not for the sake of the An family.
It was for her grandfather, who had been the only person who had treated her well in the original hostâs memories.
# With suppressed anger and resentment, Lu Lehua returned to the car with An Mulin, venting her frustrations: âWhy canât she understand me a little?
Why is she so disappointing?â âIf she were as outstanding as Yaoyao, I could at least find some solace.
But look at what has she done since joining the An family?
Aside from embarrassing and humiliating us, I worry that being seen with her will invite ridicule from others.
âJust look at what she has become.
Iâm her mother, and even if I misunderstood this time, hasnât she made mistakes before?
Every time, I had to handle them for herâ¦â ââ¦â ââ¦â An Mulin frowned as he listened, feeling increasingly agitated.
âMom, letâs not talk about it anymore,â he said.
âAll right, letâs stop talking about her.
The more I talk, the angrier I get,â Lu Lehua replied, finally easing her expression.
After a short silence, An Muyao called.
âMom, have you been to school?
What happened with Yan Yan?â An Muyao couldnât wait and immediately called to find out if Nan Yan was further despised.
Given that she was considered the person who cared most about Nan Yan in the An family, her eagerness was understandable.
Lu Lehuaâs face darkened again upon hearing An Muyaoâs voice.
However, since it was An Muyao on the other end of the phone, her tone softened a bit, and she patiently replied, âDonât worry, it wasnât her fault this time.
Those boys have apologized to her.â âOh, really?
Thatâs goodâ¦â An Muyaoâs smug expression disappeared instantly.
She clenched her fingers around the phone.
âMom, are you going back now?â âYes, weâre already in the car.â âThen tell the driver to take it slow on the way.
I have to go to class soon, so I wonât talk much for now.
Weâll chat when I get home.â âOkay, Yaoyao, focus on your studies and donât worry about anything else, especially Nan Yan.â âMom, no matter what, Yanyan is my sister.
How can I not care?
Okay, Mom, Iâll talk to you when I get home.â An Muyao hung up the phone, gritting her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.
This time, it turned out that it wasnât her fault!
However, the news that had spread stated that she not only fought with the boys in Class 4 but also bullied the girls in the class, making them wipe the desk for her.
How could such despicable actions not be her fault?
âDamn it!
It seems like next time, I need to find out more about Nan Yan,â An Muyao thought to herself angrily.
Her phone rang, and An Muyao glanced at the caller ID.
She bit her lip, trying to calm her emotions, and quickly answered the call.
âTeacher.â The gentle and elegant voice of Huai Youyi, full of concern, asked, âYaoyao, is your arm still hurting?â An Muyaoâs eyes darkened, but she obediently replied, âTeacher, it doesnât hurt much if I take painkillers.â She didnât dare to tell Huai Youyi that not only did her arm hurt, but it also felt numb now.
Playing the violin in such a state would definitely affect her performance.
However, she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
If she missed it, who knew how long she would have to wait for another chance.
She absolutely couldnât give up!
âSigh, why is your arm hurting?
Yaoyao, if you canât bear it, you must tell me.
This performance is crucial, and we canât afford any mistakes!â An Muyao paused for a moment and said softly, âI understand, teacher.
Tonight, I will try acupuncture.
I heard that itâs very effective for relieving nerve pain.
Iâll have a few sessions of acupuncture and take some painkillers before going on stage.
There wonât be any problems.â âWell, if anything happens, make sure to inform me in advance.
Otherwise, if we make adjustments on the day of the performance, it will be too late.â âOkay, teacher.â Huai Youyi reminded her a few more times before ending the call.
An Muyao bit her lip and subconsciously touched her left shoulder with her left hand.
Because she had taken painkillers, she didnât feel much pain now, but there was a numbness, as if her arm didnât belong to her.
Painkillers had certain harmful effects on the body, and she couldnât take too many, as it would affect her memory and brain sensitivity.
What exactly was wrong with her arm?
Was it really caused by Nan Yan, that despicable person?
Although she always felt that this matter was somehow related to Nan Yan, she didnât know how Nan Yan could have the ability to cause nerve damage.
After school, An Muyao was feeling restless, so she asked the driver to come a little later to pick her up.
She wanted to wander outside for a while.
After walking for some time, An Muyao suddenly sensed movement behind her.
When she turned around, a sack was immediately thrown over her head.
She didnât even have a chance to scream before she was knocked unconscious and carried awayâ¦
# In the evening, it was almost dinner time, but An Muyao still hadnât returned.
Lu Lehua tried calling An Muyao but couldnât get through.
In her anxiety, she hurriedly walked outside and ran into An Mulin, who had just come back.
âMulin, do you know where your sister went?â Lu Lehua asked with a worried expression.
An Mulin frowned.
âYaoyao is missing?â Lu Lehua looked extremely uneasy.
âWhen school was over today, Yaoyao called the driver and asked him to come later.
She said she wanted to wander around on her own.
But she hasnât come back yet, and we canât reach her on the phone.
Iâm worried that something might have happenedâ¦â âDonât worry, let me try contacting her.â An Mulin quickly took out his phone and called An Muyao.
However, like Lu Lehua, he couldnât get through.
Seeing that An Mulin also couldnât reach her, Lu Lehua became even more anxious and panicked.
âMulin, what should we do?
Should we call the police and ask them to help find her?â An Mulin comforted her, âMaybe she got carried away playing and forgot about the time.
Perhaps her phone ran out of battery.
Iâll go out and look for her.
If we canât find her, we can always call the police later.â âAlrightâ¦â
