Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The news of Lu Wanggui’s return to attend the parent-teacher conference spread within a small area of the school. When the news reached Wei Zihang’s ears, he quickly took out his phone and reported to Lu Bei:

[ Good news, Brother Bei, Uncle Lu is here to hold the parent-teacher conference for you! ]

As if afraid that Lu Bei would not believe what he said, Wei Zihang purposely found a photo taken by another student and sent it over. There was only one figure in the photo, and it was still blurry, but Lu Bei recognized it at a glance. It was his father!

Lu Bei stood up abruptly and was about to walk out in a hurry. When he passed by the classroom door, he accidentally saw the exam results hanging at the corner of the blackboard. He stopped in his tracks.

Lu Bei was already a star in the class. In addition to the commotion he made when he stood up in a hurry, at this moment, the eyes of the class were all focused on him. Seeing that he was standing motionlessly at the door, some of the students were whispering behind him. But for some reason, the voice of exchange between students was getting smaller and smaller until there was complete silence.

They did not know what had happened, only that the pressure around Lu Bei’s body was getting lower and lower. They did not dare to make a sound.

An Yu sat in her seat. Wei Zihang had just sent her a message on her phone. She also knew that Uncle Lu had come to hold a parent-teacher conference for Lu Bei.

When she heard that Lu Bei’s stepmother was going to the parent-teacher conference for Lu Bei, she was disappointed. She knew very well how much Lu Bei wanted Uncle Lu to attend a parent-teacher conference for him. However, even though she was disappointed, she also knew that Uncle Lu was busy, so it was normal for him not to attend. At the same time, she was secretly happy. Look, others said that Uncle Lu liked his new wife, but his new wife was still unable to make him put down his work and attend a parent-teacher conference for his son.

So how sincere was his love? It was still worth testing.

But now, Uncle Lu came...

An Yu looked at Lu Bei’s stiff back and couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

How strange. Xiang Xiaoyuan had obviously persuaded Uncle Lu to come and fulfill Lu Bei’s wish of Uncle Lu attending the parent-teacher conference, but she felt even more sorry for Lu Bei. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Why? Could it be that in Uncle Lu’s heart, this newly married wife was more important than his own son? An Yu couldn’t help but wonder if she had done something wrong. Should she not have secretly gone to Xiang Xiaoyuan and asked her to persuade Uncle Lu to come?

Perhaps what the elders said was right. With a stepmother, there would be a stepfather. Even a rational person like Uncle Lu was no exception.

...

The parents were busy with their work and did not have much time to waste on unnecessary things.

The main purpose of the parent-teacher conference had been achieved. The representative of the parent-teacher conference had also been selected and everyone felt that they had a suitable candidate. Some parents had already stood up and were ready to leave.

With someone taking the lead, it did not take long for others to follow suit. Before long, there were only a few parents left in the meeting room.

One of the parents saw that Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Wanggui hadn’t moved, so he thought that the couple hadn’t seen each other for a long time and had something private to talk about. He quickly called out to the rest of the parents, “If there’s nothing else, let’s leave first.” He paused for a moment and took out a business card from his pocket. “Oh right, our company is holding an annual party in a few days. If you have time, you can come and take a look. If Mrs. Lu is interested, you can come along too. There are a lot of interesting events at the annual party.”

Faced with such a situation, Xiang Xiaoyuan only maintained a smile. She did not agree or respond, leaving all the decision in Lu Wanggui’s hands.

Lu Wanggui took the business card from the person and put it away. He politely replied, “I’m not sure if I have time to attend the party. Let me check the schedule with my assistant. If I can’t make it, please forgive me.”

The man quickly waved his hand. “It’s okay, it’s okay. CEO Lu, you’re too polite.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan rested her chin on one hand as she watched this scene.

Lu Wanggui was polite, gentle and refined. Why wasn’t there a detailed description of this perfect man in the novel? She frantically recalled the plot related to Lu Wanggui in her mind, but the author didn’t seem to understand Lu Wanggui’s character. A lot of things related to Lu Wanggui were brushed aside.

The appearance of this character seemed to be just to give context to the character of the male protagonist. He was a tool to serve the male protagonist. But now, Xiang Xiaoyuan had entered the book. She had never been so clear about the fact that the person in front of her was a living person, not a paper person who only existed in the novel.

When Xiang Xiaoyuan was thinking about something, her mind would be completely empty. By the time she realized what was going on, she and Lu Wanggui were the only ones left in the meeting room.

She immediately became alert. She thought that Lu Wanggui was going to punish her, but he only glanced at her and said, “Let’s go.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan felt as if she had been pardoned. She quickly picked up her bag and stood up.. The two of them walked out of the meeting room one after the other.
