Chapter 23 Parents' Meeting, the Adult World As they were chatting, Qian Sanyi, who was pretending to be reading a book, came over and sat down on the other side of Deng Xiaoqi, pretending to be relaxed. "Haozi, what are you talking about? You're so excited." Jiang Tianhao, who was originally excited, immediately cooled down and didn't even want to look at Qian Sanyi. "Nothing to talk about, it has nothing to do with you" "Really? I think I heard you guys talking about Wu Xianyu. What? Are his parents very powerful?" When Deng Xiaoqi heard Qian Sanyi mention Wu Xianyu, her heart couldn't help but tighten. You know, that man was not far away from them, only two or three people away. He was said to be asleep, but with a book covering his face, who knew if he was really asleep? If Qian Sanyi said something and he heard it, would something happen that was beyond their control? Thinking of this, Deng Xiaoqi cleverly changed the subject. "Nothing, it's just that Wu Xianyu's family seems to be in the military. In fact, I'm very curious about what your family does, Qian Sanyi. You are so smart, your parents must be extraordinary." Hearing Deng Xiaoqi mentioning him in front of Jiang Tianhao, and Jiang Tianhao looking unhappy, Qian Sandi suddenly felt happy and spoke calmly. "Nothing much. My mom used to be a pianist, but she became a full-time mom after I was born. My dad is a businessman, but the person I admire most is my grandfather. He used to do research in Beijing, and he retired a few years ago because he was too old." "Tsk, isn't your father Qian Yukun? Do you think I don't know?"
Jiang Tianhao called out Qian Sanyi's father's name in displeasure, but no one noticed that Lin Miaomiao could no longer get a word in. She came from an ordinary family and really couldn't join in the conversation. At this time, the phone in Lin Miaomiao's hand rang. She clicked on it out of habit to check. When the chat page expanded, she remembered that it was not her phone. Just as she was about to return to the page, she was attracted by the chat content. A middle-aged man with a big fish in his hand, named Toulang, sent a video. Lin Miaomiao lowered the volume and clicked on the video. "Little brother, let me tell you, there aren't that many wild fishing spots in Jiangzhou. I found this one with great difficulty, and I'm only telling you. I'm going to take my family out for a trip during the National Day holiday, so I'll leave this place to you. Don't tell anyone else." Lin Miaomiao looked at the weed-covered riverside scene in the video and became interested. She remembered something and got up from the playground. She said to the three people who were chatting enthusiastically: "You guys chat, I have something to ask Xianyu" After saying that, he walked towards Wu Xianyu. On the way, Lin Miaomiao swiped the screen, exited the chat page, saw Deng Xiaoqi's online name, and looked at the distance from Wu Xianyu which was less than three steps. Lin Miaomiao stopped halfway, looked at Deng Xiaoqi's online name, not knowing what she was thinking. After hesitating for a while, she still clicked on the chat interface. The content inside made her feel relieved and a little sad. She didn't know why she felt relieved, but she knew why she was sad. She originally thought that Deng Xiaoqi was just a girl who was blinded by love and had more tricks. But she didn't expect that she would use herself as a condition. She stood there in a daze for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking. "Why are you standing there like an idiot?" A voice woke Lin Miaomiao up. She shifted her gaze away from the phone and looked at Wu Xianyu, who was lying on the ground with his eyes squinting. Somehow, she felt a lot more at ease. Seeing Lin Miaomiao's expression, Wu Xianyu reacted for a while, sat up and waved at her. "come here" Lin Miaomiao sat obediently beside Wu Xianyu and returned the phone to Wu Xianyu with both hands. "I didn't mean to peek at your chat history. It was mainly because your fishing friend sent you a wild fishing spot and I was a little curious." "Hmm? A wild fishing spot?" Wu Xianyu's attention was not on Lin Miaomiao reading his chat history. Anyway, there was nothing to keep secret, so he just watched it. After clicking on the video and watching it once, Wu Xianyu showed a look of surprise on his face and sent a voice message back. "Okay, thank you, brother. When you come back, I will send you the fish I caught." After replying the message, Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao who was nervously tugging at the corner of her clothes. "Just watch it, there's nothing private about it. As for the matter with Deng Xiaoqi, just keep it in mind and just be her best friend. Don't confide in her. I didn't ask you to break up with her directly because I was afraid that you would rebel and get entangled with her. Now you know what kind of person she is, so just keep it in mind in the future." Seeing that Wu Xianyu had no intention of blaming her, Lin Miaomiao rolled her eyes and asked Wu Xianyu with a smile: "Can you take me with you when you go fishing? I've never been to a place like this before."
"What? You want to take me to a wild fishing spot? No way, I won't go, no matter what I say, I won't take you there." Wu Xianyu refused outright and used his mobile phone to save the address sent by the fishing brother. Lin Miaomiao was not in a hurry to be rejected, but grabbed Wu Xianyu's arm and said seriously "Do you remember what you said to me over the weekend? You took me out for a day to make amends, and I wanted to go fishing with you for a day. The chat records are all there, or are you going to break your promise?" After hearing what Lin Miaomiao said, Wu Xianyu quickly called up the chat page with Lin Miaomiao and long-pressed the message he had sent, preparing to destroy the evidence, but was stopped by Lin Miaomiao's quick eyes and hands. The phone was snatched away by Lin Miaomiao again. Wu Xianyu felt unlucky and turned his head away, not wanting to see Lin Miaomiao. But maybe because she had been with Wu Xianyu for a long time, Lin Miaomiao had become more shameless. She came over happily and returned the phone to Wu Xianyu, which had already been turned off. "It's not up to you whether I go or not. Your fishing spot has been sent to my account." "Damn, I miscalculated." Wu Xianyu felt his heart bleeding. Wouldn't it be bad for his mentality to take a novice to such a good wild fishing spot? After thinking about it, Wu Xianyu came up with a solution. "How about this, I can take you with me, but we are both minors, and it is still unsafe to go to such a deserted place. You can ask your uncle to go with us, he should have his vacation time too." When Lin Miaomiao heard that she was going to take her old father with her, she hesitated and started to speak. "Uh, can we go without my dad?" Hearing Lin Miaomiao's refusal, Wu Xianyu's eyes immediately became alert, his hands covering his chest, looking Lin Miaomiao up and down "What's the matter? You don't have any improper thoughts about me, do you? I'm telling you, stop daydreaming. A prodigal like me is not something you can control." "Who cares about you? Narcissist. I'll discuss this with my dad when I get home. Just decide when to go fishing." After kicking Wu Xianyu who was sitting, Lin Miaomiao returned to Deng Xiaoqi angrily and found that Jiang Tianhao had moved her position closer to him. Lin Miaomiao was so angry that she didn't give him any face and said to Jiang Tianhao: "Get up, get up" Wu Xianyu covered his waist and grimaced. Lin Miaomiao was very ruthless in her attack. After playing with my phone for a while, the school broadcast sounded a notification "The parent-teacher conference has ended. Please return to your respective classes and repeat the same thing." Hearing the notice, Wu Xianyu stood up, patted the dust off his butt, stamped his feet, and looked at the four people. "Let's go back to the classroom" "Let's go, go back early and go home for the holiday." Jiang Tianhao was the first to respond. He hadn't gained any advantage from Qian Sanyi during this period of time, and he was already fed up with seeing him chatting happily with Deng Xiaoqi. Putting his arm around Wu Xianyu's shoulder, Jiang Tianhao asked casually: "Xianyu, your parents are in the army, right? I think your uncle is a military man." "My uncle?" Wu Xianyu was a little confused. He should be alone now. Where did his uncle come from? When he heard Jiang Tianhao say that the man's surname was Liu, Wu Xianyu immediately reacted. "Oh, Uncle Liu, my parents' comrade-in-arms, you came to the parent-teacher conference without telling me." "Tsk tsk, this is comradeship, so nice"
Jiang Tianhao was a little envious of this relationship. A group of people came to the classroom, Wu Xianyu walked to Uncle Liu and smiled "Uncle Liu, thank you." "Hey, don't say thank you, we are all family" As he spoke, Uncle Liu turned on his phone and looked at Wu Xianyu. "I took a few photos of your test paper and plan to show them to those kids when I get home. They just play around all day and their grades are terrible. You should also find time to go back and take a look and set an example for them." Wu Xianyu was a little amused and said "Yes, I will definitely go back during the holidays, but don't put too much pressure on them. This is a fun grade, so it's normal for their grades to fluctuate." "They are not ups and downs, they are straight down to the bottom. I don't want to think about it. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. They are like this in elementary school, and I don't know what they will be like in high school." Uncle Liu thought about his two sons and became more and more angry. Looking at Wu Xianyu's grades, he did not hide his envy at all, and completely forgot the fear he had when Uncle Liu used Wu Xianyu's parents to educate him when he was young. "Hello, are you Wu Xianyu's parent? I am Lin Miaomiao's parent." At this time, Wang Shengnan, Lin Miaomiao's mother, turned around and looked at Uncle Liu, stretched out her hand, and looked very happy. "It's like this, my daughter ranked fifth in this exam, which is 20 places higher than the weekly exam. This is all because of the extra lessons Xiaoyu helped my daughter with. Thank you so much." Uncle Liu stood up hurriedly and wanted to salute reflexively, but he put his hand down halfway and shook the hand that Wang Shengnan extended. He was a little flattered. He had never been the parent of an outstanding student before, so he was a little speechless for a moment. "Well, actually Xiaoyu is the child of my comrade-in-arms. They are busy recently, so I came to help attend the parent-teacher meeting. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Xiaoyu directly." When talking about Wu Xianyu's parents being busy, Uncle Liu felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly turned the topic to Wu Xianyu. Wang Shengnan looked at Wu Xianyu as if she had seen a lucky star, and she couldn't stop smiling. "Oh, Xiaoyu, thank you so much. The head teacher also mentioned you at the parent-teacher meeting. It was you who motivated Miaomiao to improve by 20 places. I don't know how to thank you. You must come to our house during the holidays. Auntie will cook for you personally." "Great! I couldn't ask for more. Every day I hear Lin Miaomiao say how delicious Auntie's cooking is. Now I can finally enjoy this treat." Wu Xianyu did not refuse, but agreed directly. Wang Shengnan was very happy to hear Wu Xianyu's agreement, and she started asking Wu Xianyu what he liked to eat. When she heard that Wu Xianyu liked to eat egg and celery pork dumplings, she immediately wrote it down. Seeing that Wu Xianyu and his uncle still had something to say, Wang Shengnan did not continue to disturb them and took Lin Miaomiao to go home. Before leaving, Lin Miaomiao gave Wu Xianyu a thumbs up. She remembered that she didn't seem to tell Wu Xianyu how the food cooked by Wang Shengnan was, but this person made up a lie that was very consistent with reality. While praising Wang Shengnan, he also praised himself by the way, which made her feel very comfortable. Uncle Liu couldn't help but pinch Wu Xianyu's shoulders, smiling. "That's great, the advanced ones help the newcomers, that's great" "Oh, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning, let's go home, otherwise there will be a traffic jam at the school gate soon." "Okay, let's go then." After communicating with Lao Zhao for a few sentences and receiving some compliments, Wu Xianyu got into Uncle Liu's car with his bag on his back. He did not go directly to Uncle Liu's house, but went directly back to his own home. Uncle Liu also understood that after a month of classes, he needed to rest for a few days. Anyway, there was a week's vacation and he had plenty of time. After waving goodbye to Uncle Liu, Wu Xianyu turned around and went back to his home on the second floor. After Wu Xianyu and Uncle Liu left, the parents who were still in the classroom felt much more relaxed. Jiang Tianhao's father Jiang Qilong asked his son quietly: "Wu Xianyu's family is not simple. His uncle is definitely an official, there is no doubt about that. Remember to build a good relationship with Wu Xianyu." Jiang Tianhao didn't find it strange that his father, as a businessman, had such feelings, but he felt a little annoyed. Originally, he and Wu Xianyu only played together because they got along well, but now after hearing what his father said, he felt like he had other intentions. Pei Yin looked at the empty space where his arm was and looked at his son Qian Sanyi. "It means that Wu Xianyu has surpassed you, right?" Qian Sanyi didn't say anything, but just nodded silently. Pei Yin looked at him gently and helped him tidy up his clothes. "Then do well in the next exam and get the first place back. I know you weren't in good shape those few days. You should feel much better after taking the medicine during this period." Thinking of how he poured out the medicine, Qian Sanyi didn't dare to look into his mother's eyes and nodded silently. Pei Yin just thought that her son was unwilling and didn't want to talk. I was about to get up and go home when a voice came
"Hello, I am Deng Xiaoqi's parent. Thank you for your child's help with Xiaoqi's homework. She has improved a few places this time. Thank you very much." Pei Yin and Deng Xinhua shook hands and smiled formally. "It's what I should do. There's nothing to thank for." She knew that this woman was not a good person and didn't want to get entangled with her too much. She said a few words and left with Qian Sanyi. Watching Qian Sanyi's footsteps pause for a moment when he left, Deng Xiaoqi's eyes flickered slightly and the corners of her mouth curved up. Seeing that his mother was handing out his business card among the parents, Deng Xiaoqi acted as if he didn't see it and stood at his seat like a puppet. On the way home, Deng Xinhua looked at his daughter in the rearview mirror, with a tone of pity. "Why aren't you familiar with Wu Xianyu? His family has some special connections. It would be great if we could get to know each other." "Forget it" Deng Xiaoqi looked at the scenery outside the car window, her tone was emotionless. “He is not the same as us.” "Yes, I am not as clear as you are. My daughter has grown up." Deng Xinhua sighed with emotion. (End of this chapter)
