Xiang Xiaoyuan had tried her best to dress up as mature as possible, but compared to other mothers, she was still a lot younger.

In the meeting room, when Xiang Xiaoyuan entered, many parents looked at her as if they could see that she was new. Someone politely asked, “May I know who you are?”

This question really stumped Xiang Xiaoyuan. She held her handbag and tactfully said, “I’m here to hold a parent-teacher conference for Lu Bei.”

Everyone present was shrewd. They instantly realized that this beautiful woman was Lu Wanggui’s newly married wife. The meeting room was extremely quiet for a moment. Xiang Xiaoyuan did not feel embarrassed. She smiled and found a seat for herself. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

The parents were here to hold a parent-teacher meeting, not to gossip. So they quickly retracted their gazes and discussed the previous topic. Xiang Xiaoyuan sat in her seat and listened silently. She did not interrupt or express her position.

Not long after, the class teacher walked in and handed out the final exam results to every parent. Xiang Xiaoyuan knew that Lu Bei’s results were not very good, but she was still very curious as to how bad it was, so she picked up the report card and read it carefully from top to bottom.

The other parents were also discussing the report card enthusiastically:

“Mother Xu, your Xu Xiyao is number one again this time. If my son is half as good as your Xu Xiyao, I’ll be thankful,” a parent said with a face full of worry. “Look at my child’s results. The results of six subjects combined is less than that of one subject of Xu Xiyao.”

Mother Xu’s face was flushed. “That’s not true. Your son is just a little playful. If he really calmed down and studied, he would not be worse than Xiyao.”

These words hit the bottom of the hearts of all the parents. Although they complained that their children weren’t up to par and that their grades weren’t good, they didn’t seem to really like hearing others say that their children weren’t good. Mother Xu was really good with people.

Xiang Xiaoyuan inadvertently raised her eyes to look in the direction of Mother Xu. This woman looked elegant. She was estimated to be in her early forties, but she looked like she was in her thirties. The corners of her mouth were always smiling, making people feel good about her, but they didn’t dare to offend her.

From this, it could be seen that the woman sitting here was not someone to be trifled with.

Xiang Xiaoyuan retracted her gaze and continued to look at the report card in her hand. She had also seen Xu Xiyao, who was being discussed by his mother. His results in every subject were so high that it was shocking. Perhaps he was the legendary genius scholar. Ordinary people could only admire him.

She found Lu Bei’s name at the bottom of the report card and nodded to Xiang Xiaoyuan. Well, he was not in last place. It was better than she had expected.

According to the plot of the novel, he would study hard under the intense pressure of the female protagonist, so Xiang Xiao Yuan wasn’t worried about Lu Bei’s grades. The only thing she had to consider was when would the female protagonist appear?

Judging from the time, it should be soon, right?

The parent-teacher conferences in ordinary schools were mostly about students’ grades, their future development, and how the teachers and parents would cooperate in their education. However, in noble schools, they held parent-teacher conferences purely to supervise the school, they also dealt with the matter of the parent representatives.

Some parents put down their report cards, and brought the topic back on track: “As you all know, our main purpose of coming here this time is to elect a parent representative and supervise all matters in the school. My husband and I are both busy. We travel abroad twenty-five days a month. We really don’t have the spare energy to take care of children.”

“Didn’t we spend so much money to send our children here to save us that trouble? No matter if it’s the food or the equipment used, they are all top-notch. The school’s teachers are also very good. However, no matter how meticulous a school is, there will be times when they will be careless. Just like the time when the food in the canteen wasn’t fresh and caused many children to get food poisoning, or when the sports equipment wasn’t up to standard and caused many students to be injured...”

Other parents voiced their agreement. “That’s right. That time, my child also happened to be affected. It scared me half to death. I even wanted to transfer my child to another school. However, I’m glad that the injury wasn’t serious in the end. The school’s apology was pretty good. Otherwise, I would have already transferred my child to another school.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan listened to them berating the school for not doing a good job. She tried her best to stand aside and not interrupt. She had to maintain her attitude and not appear too eager. It was not the time for her to speak. If she volunteered at this time, it would make the parents distrust her.

She had to wait for the parents to express their views before she could reluctantly stand up and accept the heavy responsibility.

“Yes, this noble school talked so much before we enrolled our children. After they entered the school, their attitude changed. They charged such a high tuition fee, but they did nothing!”

“If it weren’t for the fact that my child is about to enter the third year of high school, I would have transferred him to another school. But at this juncture... I really can’t transfer him to another school.”

The parents began to complain about the school’s poor performance here and there.. Xiang Xiaoyuan listened in a daze. Isn’t this good?! This school is much better than when she was in high school, okay?!
