Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 348: Chapter 330: Parent-Teacher Meeting

”I don’t need anything else, just teach me how to find such a demon.” The monitor joined in the teasing, pointing at Luo Qianqian with a smile on his face.

Tianyi nodded seriously for a moment before seeing a group of boys leaning in, his eyes gleaming with amusement as he said, ”You’ve got to be handsome to catch the eye.”

”Haha...” Luo Qianqian nodded and then laughed so hard she collapsed onto the table, ”You’re right, you indeed have to be good-looking.”

”That’s not very fair of you. Even if we’re not shocking the heavens and terrifying the ghosts, we could be considered delicate, right?” The monitor touched his face and took out a small mirror from his pencil case, ”My skin is also fair, tender, and glossy, how am I not handsome?”

”Pfft.” Luo Qianqian scoffed. Tianyi in junior high was even paler and more tender, okay? It wasn’t just a bit morbid-looking, now he looked so much healthier, and even had abs...

”This demon is one of a kind, caught by Scholar God himself, not for sale,” Luo Qianqian said seriously. ”You want Scholar God’s protection? It’s possible, just pay nine dollars and eighty cents, take a photo of Scholar God home, an apple a day doesn’t hurt, no deception guaranteed, it assures you entrance into a top university.”

”You talk nonsense...” The monitor said angrily, ”Is there anyone in this class who can’t make it?”

Luo Qianqian blinked, ”How would I know? Just buying some peace of mind.” Saying this, she took out her wallet, pulled out a photo of Tianyi, but the next second she realized the expressions of the people around her weren’t quite right, and in another second, seeing Tianyi’s smiling eyes, she quickly stuffed the photo back, placing it behind the photo of herself and her brother, her face calm, ”This one’s not for sale, pre-order only.”

Tianyi leaned in with his long arms and grabbed Luo Qianqian’s wallet, looking at the photos inside, his smile deepening, his pleasant voice reaching Luo Qianqian’s ears, ”Are you willing to part with it?”

Luo Qianqian turned bright red, amusing the crowd. Soon, everyone returned to their seats, filled with various shades of envy and jealousy towards Luo Qianqian. But hate? That didn’t really apply here. In this class wasn’t everyone exceptionally talented?

”Give it to me.” Luo Qianqian, her ears still red, demanded her wallet back from Tianyi.

Tianyi stuffed the wallet back into his backpack, then asked seriously, ”So, who is coming for the parent-teacher meeting?”

Luo Qianqian was troubled again...

”How about letting Grandpa and Grandma come? I think Grandpa is quite eager to come...” Luo Qianqian wrinkled her nose as she drew circles on the paper, ”but I’m a bit afraid Grandpa might think I’m stupid...”

Tianyi nodded, signaling Luo Qianqian to continue, indicating he was listening.

”If Great Aunt and Second Aunt came together, that would be fair, but then Grandma and Uncle would be unhappy,” Luo Qianqian continued. ”What if it’s Grandma and Uncle... Has Uncle ever attended a parent-teacher meeting? Why am I so worried about it?”

When she got home, Luo Qianqian realized she was overthinking it because both Uncle and Great Uncle had been called back to the military, and both Great Aunt and Second Aunt had excused themselves for being busy, suggesting Grandma should go. Luo Qianqian blinked, ”But we are two people, we can go with two people, right?”

Just as Ye Qianying was about to speak, Jia Ning held her back, ”Let Dad go, we’ve got a bit of a situation here.” She did not want to mention that she saw Old Master Luo secretly calling someone to have his son called back.

Old Master Luo looked at Yue Tingyu’s expression, then said seriously, ”Since you all are busy, just the two of us old folks will go.” He was clearly reluctant.

Jia Ning nodded in agreement, ”Thanks, Dad. It just so happens we’re all tied up.”

Guohui was even more pleased with his daughter-in-law, nodding his head with a smile, then he picked up his jacket and went out to find someone to play chess with.

When everyone had left, Yue Tingyu sighed, ”People get childish when they get older. Don’t blame your dad.” Facing her daughters-in-law, Yue Tingyu was also helpless, her face faintly flushing, Jia Ning, having overheard the phone call, had just seen it upon her return, but she did not expose it.

Jia Ning smiled and nodded, ”There’ll still be opportunities, there are many more parent-teacher meetings next term.”

Luo Qianqian pouted, ”Why do I feel like going to school is just about waiting for the parent-teacher meeting?” No one asks about the grades, would someone be happy to go even if I ranked last?

Luo Qianqian had no idea that her family already knew her grades before she did and were very satisfied with them.

Xu Tianyi smiled, ”That’s why you need to work hard. If your grades drop and the teacher scolds you, let’s see who still loves to attend your parent-teacher meetings.”

Luo Qianqian’s face fell in an instant, despite effort, she had to work even harder to not be caught up by those who were also working very hard.

That evening, she just happened to call Shufan and mentioned this matter, and all Shufan said was to keep working hard and then dropped the subject.

On the day of the parent-teacher meeting.

For the parent-teacher meeting at one o’clock, by twelve-thirty, Old Master Luo and Yue Tingyu had their second son drive them to the school. Dressed in bright red Tang suits, their hair neatly combed, and eyes shining bright like a hungry wolf at the sight of food, they stood tall, their vitality indeed noticeable.

Though Yue Tingyu wasn’t as exaggerated as Old Master Luo, she also wore a cashmere modified qipao, and her hairstyle was still the one she did in the morning when Old Master Luo accompanied her to the barbershop, showing she also enormously valued this parent-teacher meeting.

After receiving the message, Luo Qianqian and Xu Tianyi came out to meet the elders and couldn’t help but laugh and cry, was it necessary to be this formal? Would Luo Zhen be scared by this? Such an appearance as if meeting a VIP?

”Grandpa, Grandma, why are you here so early?” Luo Qianqian did not say it out loud, seeing how seriously her grandparents had prepared, she couldn’t bring herself to dampen their enthusiasm and greeted Yue Tingyu with a smile, holding her hand.

”Your grandpa was afraid of being late due to traffic. How about this outfit?” Yue Tingyu, looking into Luo Qianqian’s bright eyes, felt somewhat embarrassed.

”Grandma looks the most beautiful. If I don’t say it, my classmates might think Grandma is my mom,” said Luo Qianqian with a grin, then turned to the proud Old Master Luo as if discovering a new continent, ”Wow, grandpa looks so energetic. What kind of miraculous elixir did you eat, are you planning to rejuvenate?”

Hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, Old Master Luo’s face showed a hint of a smile, yet he still maintained a stern expression, ”If the teacher scolds you later, see how I deal with you when we get home.”

Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue and said nothing, cheerfully pulling the two along as Xu Tianyi pushed her towards the classroom. Several parents had already arrived in the classroom.

Luo Qianqian cheerfully guided the elders to their seats, ”Grandpa, Grandma, sit here. This is my seat, and this one is Tianyi’s.”

Then watched as Old Master Luo firmly took a different seat, sitting in his granddaughter’s spot, while Yue Tingyu smiled helplessly, looking at Xu Tianyi somewhat embarrassedly, ”He means no harm, don’t overthink it.”

Xu Tianyi nodded, smiling, ”Grandma, you don’t have to worry, having you at the parent-teacher meeting is not embarrassing,” he said, winking.

Luo Qianqian also nodded repeatedly, ”Exactly, Grandpa, please don’t compare me with Tianyi later, I’ll be really sad.”

The old couple knew about Xu Tianyi’s grades, and nodded with a smile.

”We’re heading out now,” Luo Qianqian squinted her eyes cheerfully, pulling out a notebook and a pen, ”If there’s anything you need to write down, you can use this notebook. We’re going to a lecture hall for the meeting.”

Old Master Luo nodded, his complexion rosy.

Luo Qianqian and Xu Tianyi exchanged smiles, then Tianyi led her away.
