Chapter 65: Your Sister, Ning Li, Is Really Great
“I believe every parent here has received news about the results of the recent monthly test. The objective of this parent-teacher eting is for everyone to know about your child and how they are doing in their studies a little better.”
Geng Haifan was behind the rostrum with the class results in his hand.
“There are less than 8 months away from the entrance exam and this period is key. The students cannot afford to slack off anymore.”
The parents in the classroom nodded in agreent.
While Ning Li heard the speech from her own seat, she reacted calmly. She had experienced the entrance exam in her past life, therefore it granted her a different perspective of the exam compared to the other students.
Geng Haifan further explained the school’s upcoming arrangents for the students, and he analyzed the monthly test results in detail for the parents.
“To all the third-year students, having a stable mindset is very important in this critical period. Ning Li, who has just transferred to Second High a month ago, did exceptionally well when it ca to this particular point.”
Geng Haifan switched his attention to Ning Li and flashed her a smile full of praise.
“She was able to adapt to Second High’s environnt and got first place in the recent monthly test.”
All the parents turned to Ning Li when they heard the astonishing news.
Pei Song had always been the first, but he now lost to a girl who had just transferred to the school a month ago. Everyone was deeply impressed by Ning Li’s achievent
“That’s Ning Li? The girl who got 737 in the monthly test? Impressive! I heard there were only four students in all of the third-year who got 700 marks and above.”
“But…why aren’t her parents here with her? She did so well in the test, but her parents can’t even spare a day to attend the eting?”
“I heard she cos from a complicated background…”
The parents were talking about Ning Li softly as they looked at her with a complicated gaze.
Nevertheless, Ning Li simply turned a blind eye to their prying gazes.
Geng Haifan said, “Ning Li, can you—”
Rat-a-tat.
Knocks ca from the door before it was opened.
A towering figure appeared at the entrance. It was a stylish young man.
His suave-looking black shirt made his shoulders look wide and his waist slim while his black slim-cut pants fit his long legs well. He also had a black coat hanging from his hand. It seed like he just ca from so formal event.
His eyes were deep and clear, and regality seed to overflow from his head to his toes.
“Excuse .”
His voice sounded rich and charming.
“Is this the first class of the third year?”
The spacious classroom was silenced by his question.
First of all, the man arrived unannounced. Secondly, his gentlemanly bearing was breathtaking at first glance.
Surprised, Geng Haifan nodded. “Yes, this is the first class. And you are…”
Although he had not t the young man before, he could tell based on his looks that the young man was sothing else.
“I’m Lu Huaiyu.” Lu Huaiyu then looked at the lonely figure sitting in the corner of the classroom. “I am here for the parent-teacher eting in Ning Li’s place. I got held up by so business halfway. Sorry, I’m late.”
Geng Haifan was stunned for a mont before he realized who the young man was.
Lu Huaiyu was the person who had applied for leave on Ning Li’s behalf the other day. He seed to be her second brother. He smiled and said, “It’s totally okay. We were just talking about Ning Li. Please co in, Mr. Lu.”
Geng Haifan had called Su Yuan earlier, but no matter how much he tried to persuade her, Su Yuan refused to attend the eting.
He was slightly angry because of it. Of course, he knew how the mother treated both her daughters differently.
The Ye family had both a big business and a large family. The mother could have simply called soone to accompany Ye Ci to the hospital for a quick check-up.
The parent-teacher eting was important to Ning Li, and as the girl’s parent, Su Yuan should be there for her, at least this one ti, but…
No one from the Ye family ca for Ning Li, but there was Lu Huaiyu.
Lu Huaiyu nodded and thanked Geng Haifan before he walked over to Ning Li.
So of the parents knew Lu Huaiyu or had at least heard of his na. Therefore, when they saw the young man in the classroom and learned that he was there for Ning Li, they were astonished as their jaws fell to the ground.
Lu Huaiyu did not seem to notice the unusual reaction. His long legs seed to saunter to Ning Li’s side.
Ning Li had yet to recover from the astonishnt. Why would Lu Huaiyu co for the parent-teacher eting on her behalf?
Ning Li did not have anyone sitting beside her, hence the empty seat. Then, Lu Huaiyu pulled the chair out and sat down. His cold and refreshing scent contained a hint of alcohol, and it filled Ning Li’s nose, enveloping her whole.
Did Lu Huaiyu just drink?
Ning Li looked at him carefully.
The man rarely wore such formal wear. Maybe he just ca back from a drink. His black hair was slightly disheveled and there were sweat beads at the tip of his nose. He seed to have co over in a hurry.
He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his first button, showing off his distinctive collarbones.
Ning Li could clearly feel the heat from the man since she was just sitting beside him.
anwhile, Geng Haifan continued talking about the results.
She could not help but ask the man softly, “Second Brother, why are you here?”
Lu Huaiyu leaned back. He was extrely tall, and the tiny seat seed absurd for him. Any slight movent and his legs would hit the desk. He said with a bright smile, “I just told your teacher why I’m here.”
Ning Li was speechless.
Other than the few tis when her grandmother had attended the parent-teacher eting, Ning Li had attended all the etings herself.
Therefore, when Lu Huaiyu said he was there for her, an unfamiliar feeling welled up within her. She wanted to talk about it but could not find the right words.
“Ning Li’s result…” Geng Haifan ntioned her na.
Instantly, Lu Huaiyu looked at the rostrum with a serious expression.
Ning Li’s heart was racing, as though sothing inside her was expanding. It was an extrely strange feeling, but she did not hate it. She even felt…
She lowered her head unconsciously and pinched the edge of the paper on her table.
…
The eting went on for a full 40 minutes.
After that, the parents surrounded Geng Haifan as they tried to find out more about their children.
The quiet classroom beca lively again.
Ning Li then looked at Lu Huaiyu.
As though he saw through her mind, he seized the mont and said, “I was having a al around the area, and Zhou Fei told that you are having a parent-teacher eting, so I decided to drop by.”
Ning Li already had a hunch that Zhou Fei had sold her out. Little did she know, Zhou Fei had simply complained to Lu Huaiyu about how heartless the Ye family was.
Who would have thought that Lu Huaiyu would co over himself?
“Then…did I interrupt any of your business?”
While Lu Huaiyu was away in Yunzhou to treat his condition, he had rejected a lot of his work and etings.
For as long as she could rember, Ning Li had only seen him in formal wear during Old Master Cheng’s birthday dinner. There must have been sothing important today for him to wear a formal suit.
When Lu Huaiyu heard her question, he looked at her and smiled. “No.”
“Are you Ning Li’s brother?” one of the parents ca over and asked.
The parent was a woman in her mid-40s with a slightly bloated physique and a forgettable face. She did not seem to know who Lu Huaiyu was.
Lu Huaiyu thought for a mont before he answered, “Yes, I am.”
The woman looked envious. She attentively asked, “Your sister, Ning Li, is really great! I heard that she achieved a score of 737 on the monthly test! What’s her education like at ho? Can you share so tips with ?”
