Chapter 474: Chapter 31: The Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want to Die

A meaningful smile flashed across his face.

As the piano music progressed, the school leaders began their speeches.

At this time, all the parents of outstanding students were already waiting backstage, ready to step on stage as soon as the curtain gently rose. It was timed perfectly with the school leaders standing up to present the medals one-on-one.

Jiang Zhen Sheng rubbed his hands, listening to the commotion outside.

"Now, let’s welcome the parents of this year’s outstanding second-year students to come up and receive their awards!"

Ten from each of the liberal arts and science classes, and two each from the art and sports classes were perfectly lined up on stage. As the curtain rose, the applause from the audience was thunderous, coming from all directions.

Jiang Zhen Sheng started looking for Jiang Lai from the audience, and once on stage, he finally saw Jiang Lai sitting in the back row, and he waved and smiled at her.

Jiang Lai naturally saw Jiang Zhen Sheng too.

This whole scene was perfectly captured in Qiao Chuweng’s eyes, making her fingers more agile and relaxed.

Isn’t this selfish man only fond of other people’s children and not his own?

Today, he’ll regret, making a fool of himself in front of the entire school faculty and students.

Then she’ll see if those parents who exchanged business cards with him before would want to cooperate with someone who makes such a folly. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After all, what do rich people care about the most?

Their own face, and their child’s face.

Soon, he’ll lose both - his and his child’s. Qiao Chuweng was very curious if Jiang Zhen Sheng would still feel for Jiang Lai as he did before the parents’ meeting?

At this moment, the piano music transformed into an impassioned and powerful rhythm. The school leaders turned around, took the flowers handed over by staff, and stepped forward one by one in front of the named parents.

"A total of twenty-two outstanding parents, from liberal arts Class 1: Wang Xinyuan, Liang Zhi...

Science Class 1: Fu Ming, please come forward to receive the award.

Next, Science Class 1: Qiao Chuweng."

Hearing her name, Qiao Chuweng’s mother stepped forward, took the flowers handed over by the vice principal with a smile, nodded at Qiao Chuweng on stage, and bowed to all the parents in the audience.

The applause from the audience was exceptionally loud.

The awards continued.

"Science Class 1: Liang Pei.

Please come forward to receive the award, Liang Pei’s parent.

Science Class 1: Zhao Mingyu.

Please come forward to receive the award, Zhao Mingyu’s parent.

Science Class 1..."

People around were all holding flowers.

Jiang Zhen Sheng was ready to step forward any time now, after all, it was now down to the last name, surely it must be Jiang Lai.

But in the very next second.

"Science Class 1: Zhang Han.

Please come forward to receive the award, Zhang Han’s parent!"

Jiang Zhen Sheng made a step forward, but his movement froze, and he looked up in surprise and confusion at the leaders ahead.

The remaining four parents who hadn’t received awards were from the art and sports classes, how did an extra parent show up?

The awarding leader seemed puzzled too, as the director beside him quickly stepped forward to inquire.

This interrupted award ceremony was witnessed by everyone, and whispers arose from the audience.

"What’s going on? Can’t even figure out if their own child won awards?"

"Too excited and got it all wrong."

"Haha, how embarrassing, if it were me, I’d never come a second time in my life."

"Why doesn’t he quickly step down, whose parent is this? Does anyone know him?"

At that moment, a sharp voice arose from the audience.

"Isn’t that Jiang Lai’s father! Jiang Lai, did your dad get it wrong? Quickly bring your dad down!"

Hu Yi, always Hu Yi.

Guo Li, hearing this voice, became infuriated, jumped up, and pointed at him angrily shouting.

"Are you the only one allowed to speak?! What’s a kicked-out Class 1 person even doing shouting here?"

Hu Yi was unfazed.

"At least I’m not like some people, parents who don’t even know their own daughter’s caliber but dare to go up and embarrass themselves!"

Seeing that the situation was under control, Qiao Chuweng picked up the nearby microphone to maintain order.

"There might be an issue in some link, Jiang Lai’s father, please step down for now, we’ll explain to you later."

This announcement of "Jiang Lai’s father" over the speaker allowed those students and parents who hadn’t heard Hu Yi’s voice to hear clearly.

"Oh, Jiang Lai, the famous one, the one who stole the show at the school art festival before."

"The one who transferred out of the art class afterward? Wow, truly a family of look-at-me’s."

"What nonsense are you all saying? Didn’t you hear it was an accident? Who would embarrass themselves on purpose?"

In the audience, at the center of attention, Jiang Lai silently cast her gaze towards not far-off Jiang Ci.

Her eyes were indifferent, tinged with an unfathomable chill, making Jiang Ci’s heart jolt, subconsciously flustered.

Did Jiang Lai misunderstand?

Did she think it was him who orchestrated this?

His gaze struggled; in the end, he didn’t know what to say, so he resisted the urge and remained silent.

Because he knew that it wouldn’t succeed no matter who was behind this.

Because Jiang Zhen Sheng wouldn’t lose face, and neither would Jiang Lai.

With that thought, he looked up towards Qiao Chuweng on the second floor.

She was standing there, chin raised to Jiang Ci, with a flamboyant smirk in her eyes.

But soon, the smile in her eyes was subdued by Jiang Ci’s frosty expression.

The remaining eye, obscured by bangs, was filled with coldness, devoid of joy.

This expression baffled Qiao Chuweng.

Isn’t he supposed to be the happiest at this moment?

Met with a cold reception, Qiao Chuweng too got a little temperamental; she tried to help him kindly, yet he looked at her with such eyes.

In any case, seeing Jiang Zhen Sheng and Jiang Lai’s embarrassment, Qiao Chuweng’s objective was achieved.

It’s time for Jiang Lai to understand the reality, to see what kind of people are qualified to be on the podium.

Everyone was watching and waiting for Jiang Zhen Sheng to awkwardly come down, while Qiao Chuweng planned to step out in good time to defuse the situation.

"But come to think of it, Jiang Lai is quite outstanding too, why not use this opportunity to give her an impromptu award, as an encouragement for other students like Jiang Lai, what do you think, leader?"

At this moment, the director had been whispering to the principal, and just as Qiao Chuweng finished speaking, Jiang Zhen Sheng, who was ready to step down in embarrassment, was suddenly called upon by the director behind him.

"Jiang Lai’s father, Jiang Lai’s father, don’t worry, haha, it’s totally okay for you to come up now, let’s have the other parents step down first - we’ll take this chance to directly award the outstanding student representative with their parent’s award!"

This statement caused a stir in the crowd.

Hundreds of gazes simultaneously turned to the nervous Jiang Zhen Sheng on stage, even he was dumbfounded.

What kind of twist is this?

What does student representative mean?

Is it the student representative they understand?

At this point, the principal had already stood up, picked up the distinct golden award for the student representative, and walked towards Jiang Zhen Sheng.

"On behalf of our school, I thank you for nurturing such an outstanding child."
