Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 191 - 187 Parent-Teacher Meeting: Uncle is also a parent

Busy?

What could be more important than their precious daughter’s parent-teacher meeting?

Especially since Little Tiangao was so enthusiastic about the college entrance exams now.

They just had to attend.

Yuzheng was about to grab his car keys. "Dad has indeed been neglecting due to the bidding project recently. Wait for me, I won’t go to the office today, I’ll accompany you to the parent-teacher meeting."

Xu He held him back. "I can go; you can keep busy with your work."

Their beloved daughter was about to graduate. How could he pass up this last chance to attend her parent-teacher meet?

Xia Ye scratched the little hairs on his face and casually made up an excuse. "They are also having a parent-teacher meeting today at No.3 Middle School... Maybe you could let my sister..."

Xu He waved her hand. "Didn’t your aunt come back from abroad? Since she’s here, she can handle your sister, and I only need to worry about you..."

She turned to go back into the room to get ready, but suddenly, something stopped her in her tracks.

What did Little Tiangao say before?

"I saw that both of you were pretty busy recently, so I let another parent go instead..."

Another parent?

Yuzheng seemed to catch on too and asked, "Yeye, did you ask your second brother to accompany you to the parent-teacher meeting? But Dad saw that he wasn’t in his room early this morning, right?"

Xia Ye was munching on a little steamed bun, and his tone was unusually obedient. "Not him..."

"Hm?"

Xu He and Yuzheng looked at each other.

She has another parent?

Their other sons aren’t even in the country, right?

As they puzzled over this, the doorbell rang, and Madam Wu hurried to open the door.

Jiang Xuan came into view.

The Xia couple was stunned on the spot.

Seeing him arrive, Xia Ye straightened her backpack on her shoulder, stepped up beside him, and whispered softly. "Didn’t I tell you to wait outside? Why did you come in?"

Jiang Xuan looked relaxed, his eyes gentle. "I saw the time was about right and was worried you hadn’t woken up yet."

As the big bad wolf was about to whisk their Little Red Riding Hood away, Xu He found her voice and blurted out, "Little Tiangao, the other parent you mentioned... is Mr. Jiang?"

Xia Ye pressed her lips together, seemingly contemplating. "This title ’uncle’... counts as a parent, right?"

After all, it was Yuzheng who said Jiang Xuan was an elder and had her call him Uncle.

Jiang Xuan bowed slightly to them. "Don’t worry, once the parent-teacher meeting is over, I’ll bring her back."

The Xia couple choked up. "Then... thank you..."

**

Half an hour earlier, in the old mansion.

This morning, Yourong woke up feeling really better, quite clear-headed as well.

She was well enough to attend classes as usual.

Just as Xia Ye had described.

She had said it would take a week to recover, and indeed, exactly seven days later, she woke up cured.

Not even a half day more.

Everyone in the mansion was astonished.

Xu Qing and Qiao Yufen were worrying outside Yourong’s room.

Today was the parent-teacher meeting at No.3 Middle School... Should they go or not?

If they were to go... who would go?

Under normal circumstances, both would be eager to go to the parent-teacher meeting for Yourong.

Because it would be prestigious.

But now...

When Xu Qing had previously called to request leave for her daughter, because her daughter had a rare illness, it wasn’t easy to write a leave request for illness. To avoid the hassle, she directly called No. 3 Middle School’s principal.

Thinking that the principal of No. 3 Middle School had a relationship with the Xia Family, surely he would be easy to talk to.

But who knew that Principal Zou, upon hearing she was requesting leave for Xia Yourong, spoke in an especially cold tone, completely different from before, and didn’t approve the request, only telling her to go to Xia Yourong’s homeroom teacher to explain the situation.

Xu He felt it was inexplicable and even boldly asked Principal Zou why he suddenly acted this way.

Principal Zou authoritatively replied, "Stealing someone else’s work, believing in rumors, suspected of bribing the principal—these combined, I’m not punishing her already out of respect for Brother Xia. With only one week left for the college entrance exam sprint, I hope you can manage her well and prevent any further incidents."

Although Xu Qing didn’t specifically ask what exactly had happened, she knew that Xia Yourong’s reputation with Principal Zou had completely collapsed.

With only a week left until the college entrance exam, transferring schools wasn’t possible, so she could only tough it out at No. 3 Middle School for this last week.

Xu Qing also didn’t know what attitude the homeroom teacher and the other teachers had towards her daughter, but she felt it wouldn’t be much better, considering this parent-teacher meeting...

Qiao Yufen glanced toward the back room, "Ah, I just remembered I still have something to take care of this morning, I can’t make it. You’re her birth mother, you should go with her."

Xu Qing saw her walk away right after speaking, without a chance for any discussion. She opened her mouth but was unable to say anything.

After a silent moment, she squeezed her hand and simply decided to call her daughter’s homeroom teacher to request another day off.

It had already been a week of absence, and today wasn’t a regular class session but merely a parent-teacher meeting, so it wasn’t necessary to insist on going.

Having sorted all of this, she pressed her temples and headed back to her daughter’s room.

Xia Yourong was half-sitting on the bed, unable to recall what exactly had happened over the week, with a blank expression as if she were about to die.

Upon seeing her like this, Xu Qing became anxious and paced back and forth in the room, "Yourong, what exactly happened that day? School leaves, slipping grades, and then Mrs. Jiang, who hardly ever visits, came and you still..."

Xia Yourong herself didn’t know what had happened, but upon hearing ’Mrs. Jiang’ again, she suddenly woke up, "Mrs. Jiang? The very prestigious one my grandmother mentioned before? Did I hear Granny say... I made her faint? She came to Capital City?"

Xu Qing saw her like this and truly thought she was cursed, "You called Mrs. Jiang an ’old vixen’ straight to her face, you even said to wait until she’d be abandoned and become the laughingstock of the whole town, how could she not faint from anger??"

A ’buzzing’ sound rang in Xia Yourong’s ears, and her mind went blank.

She was stunned for a good while before she vaguely remembered some details...

But she clearly saw Xia Ye before her eyes at that time?!

Xia Yourong gritted her teeth and asked, "What about my guaranteed admission spot? Did you ask Principal Zou for my guaranteed admission spot?"

As soon as Xu Qing mentioned that, she sighed even heavier, "I couldn’t even get Principal Zou to talk to us about a leave, let alone a guaranteed admission spot. Silly girl, I went and asked thoroughly, and they said there wasn’t any guaranteed admission spot at all, it was all just rumors. Now you only have yourself to rely on for the exam, you better pick yourself up and start studying hard, you’ve been confused for a week, and now there’s only one last week left until the exam!"

In that moment, Xia Yourong felt as if all her blood had been drained, her lips colorless, with only her despairing eyes appearing like dark holes.

All hopes dashed...

Jiang Xuan circled the school parking lot twice before he finally found an empty spot.

Today was a parent-teacher meeting, and the parking lot was filled with cars.

Jiang Xuan was dressed extremely formally today, his stature tall and slender, his appearance strikingly handsome. Just the moment he stepped out of the driver’s seat to open the door for Xia Ye, he attracted quite a bit of attention from those around.

There was even a girl who exaggeratedly exclaimed in a low voice, "Wow... so handsome! Who’s parent is he?"

"He looks so familiar, doesn’t he?"

"Isn’t he the one from the psychology seminar last time..."

Several girls almost said in unison: "The sponsor!!!"

"Who’s parent-teacher meeting is he attending?"

"Class 1’s Jiang Yunzhou’s, right?"

"Oh yes, they’re uncle and nephew, aren’t they..."

The girls chattered endlessly, and just then, they saw another car parking across, from where Jiang Yunzhou casually slung his backpack and got out of the car.

From the driver’s seat, his father Jiang He followed him out.

Both men walked forward, just as they noticed Jiang Xuan nearby—
