Chapter 41 Parents' Meeting

The parents' meeting for Class Three at Fourth High.

The female homeroom teacher's mood was incredibly delicate during the parents' meeting.

Her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Xia Xinyu's seat.

Because she knew that Xia Xinyu's parents had passed away.

And her aunt was Teacher Xia Fang.

So...

Who was this person?

She was genuinely curious.

The school leaders had instructed her to show extra care for Xia Xinyu.

Of course, it wasn't just because of her family situation.

The New Year's Eve gala incident that had occurred during the New Year's holiday had also made the school teachers quite nervous. After all, it was a case of young love, skipping class, and cross-school romance.

But how should she talk to this 'relative' of Xia Xinyu?

Thinking this, she looked at the grade report.

Xia Xinyu, 649 points.

Five points higher than last time.

And on such a difficult exam, a student in her score range, especially one whose math foundation wasn't very solid, would normally drop 12 to 15 points.

Yet she'd actually gone against the trend and improved.

Worth praising…

Then she would praise her and see how this 'parent' reacted.

"This exam was more difficult, specifically targeting the students in Class Three who are at the level to get into Hai Dong University, the second-highest score bracket. However, even in this situation, there are still some students who are particularly diligent and focused who have made significant progress."

As the teacher spoke, the parents in the class began to look expectant.

To be precise, it was the parents whose children had improved their scores who were waiting to be praised.

And there weren't many of them.

Because Class Three's average score had dropped by 11, there were very few students who had improved.

"Xia Xinyu."

When this name was mentioned, everyone realized it wasn't them and started looking around.

It wasn't until a capable and gentle-looking woman smiled and nodded that they understood that she was the lucky parent.

This parent was quite pretty.

The female student named Xia Xinyu must be very beautiful too.

"This time, Xia Xinyu has risen from 313th in the entire school to 253rd, surpassing the Hai Dong University cut-off line by a significant margin."

The teacher, speaking about a girl who was flawless except for being overly flamboyant about her young love, automatically ignored her bad habit of young love, and said, "Xia Xinyu's ranking wasn't very high when she first entered the school, placing her in the middle to lower ranks of Fourth High. But after entering school, she has been exceptionally steady and meticulous in every exam, minimizing the loss of points on the foundational questions she is capable of answering. And for the more difficult 'mathematical challenge problems,' which are slightly harder for girls, she doesn't avoid them. Most of the students in our class are at a similar level to her, but they lack the spirit of challenge and don't delve into the last big problem."

Hearing this, everyone felt called out.

Looking down,

Their scores in math had indeed dropped a lot.

Those who could originally score 140 points could now only score around 120, and those who scored 130 had even dropped to 110. This was the experimental class of Fourth High, how could such scores be allowed to happen?

"Xia Xinyu didn't even score 140 last time. But after a month of hard work, she actually managed to get 140 in math under such difficult conditions."

After the teacher finished speaking, the parents in the class showed surprised expressions.

Because even the geniuses in Class One might not all be able to score 140 on this exam.

And Class Three was at least two levels weaker than Class One, far inferior.

Putting Class Three aside, Class Two was only close to Class One in terms of class sequence, but the strength was very different.

Xia Xinyu's 140 points could put her in the top five in the class.

But according to the teacher's description, under normal circumstances, someone with her ordinary math level should have dropped to less than 120.

This wasn't ordinary progress.

Excluding the absolutely impossible possibility of cheating, this progress was amazing.

There was something mysterious going on!

Yang Junlian, who was being praised, had an undisguised, dignified smile on her face.

Since Chen Yuan was born, she had never attended a parents' meeting where she had been so proud as a parent.

Xinyu had really made her feel great.

Thus, the parents' meeting ended with various topics.

Then, after class, a middle-aged man walked up to Yang Junlian and asked slyly, "Xinyu's mother, how did your Xinyu improve so much? Did she attend any tutoring sessions?"

The man had heard his daughter say that there was a student in the class named Xia Xinyu, whose aunt was a teacher at the school.

Under what circumstances could someone improve their math from pretty good to top-notch in a month?

She must have hired a tutor.

And who could that tutor be?

Senior teacher Xia Fang!

Could there be better resources than that?

But now it was strictly forbidden for teachers to tutor privately.

She definitely wouldn't say it, so he had to establish a relationship with her and get Teacher Xia Fang to tutor his daughter.

He would pay any price per class!

If it could have this kind of effect in a month, it meant that the teacher could really help students fly with their grades if they were serious.

His daughter had done well on everything else this time, except for math, which had dropped below 120.

If she could improve to 140 under these difficult conditions, she would only be seven or eight points away from the ideal score!

"Ah? She didn't attend any tutoring sessions," Yang Junlian replied with a smile.

But no one believed her.

So, a woman quickly whispered, "I heard that Xinyu's aunt is a math teacher at Fourth High..."

As soon as this sentence came out, the man closed his eyes and smacked his lips.

Annoying.

He wanted to slap this woman to death.

How low was her emotional intelligence? Publicly revealing her identity at this time, when things were being watched so closely, who would dare to tell you anything?

You troublemaker, get lost!

"..." Hearing what the woman said, Yang Junlian became vigilant, afraid of harming Xia Fang, and quickly waved her hand, "That's not true, it's just that the child is willing to study hard, it has nothing to do with tutoring."

"The price is negotiable..."

"Cough, cough." Seeing that his pig teammate was about to ruin things, the man quickly laughed and interjected, taking out his phone, "Then, can I add Xinyu's mother on WeChat?"

At this moment, Xia Xinyu walked in, just like the other students, to find her parent.

"Au..."

Just as she was about to speak, Yang Junlian interrupted her, "Xinyu."

Then, everyone looked over and discovered such an extremely beautiful and slightly thin girl.

One of the female parents immediately complimented, "This is Xinyu, I've heard my Duo'er say that she's very pretty. Looking at her now, she's indeed a great beauty."

"Hello, Auntie," Xia Xinyu squeezed out a smile and greeted her.

At this moment, the woman with low emotional intelligence asked again, "Did Xinyu learn from her aunt, that's why her math has improved so much this time?"

"No, that's not true."

Xia Xinyu was afraid of affecting her aunt and spreading rumors of 'illegal tutoring', so she quickly denied it.

"Chen Yuan taught me." At this moment, Qian Duo'er walked over and revealed the secret on the spot.

"Chen Yuan? Which teacher is that..." The woman looked puzzled.

The man also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Chen Yuan is the first place in the Hai Dong Province math competition preliminary round," Qian Duo'er began to show off for Xia Xinyu.

"Oh, is this Chen Yuan in the class?" the woman asked.

"Chen Yuan is my son," Yang Junlian replied awkwardly.

"Son?" The woman was stunned and looked at Xia Xinyu, "Then Xinyu is..."

"Chen Yuan is my brother."

After Xia Xinyu finished speaking, she quickly hugged Yang Junlian's arm and took her away from this place of trouble, "Then, Mom, let's go."

This 'Mom' made Yang Junlian burst with joy.

She hadn't paid a single penny for her to change her address, and she had just changed it like that?

It was quite subtle.

And everyone else was stunned.

Xia Xinyu's brother... Chen Yuan.

Then what was Xia Xinyu's father's surname?

Or was it a cousin?

Then it did seem okay for her aunt to come to the parents' meeting for her…

Just like that, after Xia Xinyu brought Yang Junlian out, she said a little embarrassed, "Auntie, the teacher wants to talk to us about something..."

"Okay, let's go," Yang Junlian said, not worried at all, with a very calm expression.

"But it's possible that it's..."

Xia Xinyu lowered her head and said embarrassedly, "Related to young love."

"..." As soon as this word came out, Yang Junlian, who had always been enthusiastic and outgoing, suddenly wilted.

The problem of young love was two-way, not because of just one person.

In other words, Chen Yuan was responsible, and Xia Xinyu was also responsible.

Then she was representing Xia Xinyu as Chen Yuan's mother at this parents' meeting…

If she was going to be scolded, wouldn't she be scolded twice?

It would be okay to be scolded once, but she couldn't handle being scolded twice...

"It's okay, it's okay," Xia Xinyu comforted her.

"Silly child, I should be the one saying that. It's okay, it's okay."

Just like that, the two people, both nervous and stiff, went to the homeroom teacher's office.

Seeing the two of them, the homeroom teacher smiled and shook hands with Yang Junlian.

Then, she asked the very difficult question, "What is your relationship with Xia Xinyu?"

This question stunned both of them.

"Is it inconvenient to say, or..."

"It's not very convenient, but I can say it," Yang Junlian said to the teacher after hesitating for a while, "My Chen Yuan and Xinyu have a very good relationship, so I thought I would attend this parents' meeting for Xinyu."

"Oh..." The homeroom teacher was suddenly enlightened, but also looked foolish, "I see."

"Teacher, do you know Chen Yuan?"

"Yes, of course I know," the homeroom teacher replied with a polite smile.

No teacher at Fourth High didn't know the name of Chen Yuan.

Many knew him because of the New Year's Eve gala, but more knew him because as teachers, they were a little curious about his growth and how terrifying it could be.

And today, before the parents' meeting, she had also glanced at the overall ranking of the city.

Then, she saw that boy.

She was stunned.

No one in the entire Class Three could compare to Chen Yuan.

Looking at Fourth High, only a few of the top students in Class One were slightly stronger than him.

This time, Xia Xinyu was able to be so strong in math, she had actually guessed the reason.

So, in terms of learning, she no longer had to worry about Xia Xinyu.

As a homeroom teacher, as a teacher, she still needed to take the initiative to care about some other aspects.

After letting Xia Xinyu go out first, the teacher talked to Yang Junlian for a long time, talking about the psychological problems of this poor orphan for more than ten minutes, with a very sincere attitude.

Finally, she even said with some emotion, "Please give Xia Xinyu more love."

"I promise you that we may not be able to take care of her all the time, but we will do our best."

Yang Junlian held the teacher's hand and promised, "And Chen Yuan will give her enough love too."

"Ah?"

The teacher was dumbfounded.

Yang Junlian was also dumbfounded.

Then her face turned red, and she quickly changed her words, "Care, it's care."

"Ah, ah, good, care is okay, care is okay," the teacher said with a smile and nodded.

A vigorous young male student didn't need to give so much love to a female student of the same age...

………

After Xia Fang finished attending her son's parents' meeting, she quickly took her son Zheng Minghao to Fourth High to meet Chen Yuan's parents.

She had promised to treat them to dinner today.

Thinking of this, she felt a little nervous…

But nervous as she was, she hadn't done her job yet.

Because she was busy with the parents' meeting, she hadn't had time to carefully understand the situation of the students in her own class.

So, she opened the math scores document.

After reading all the students' scores, she pursed her lips and felt uncomfortable.

If she hadn't had to attend the parents' meeting for her son, she would have scolded these other people's sons with her co-teacher today.

Although the average score had dropped by 9 points, this was still good data for a regular class, at least in the middle range.

But some of those guys who usually looked so smug, always feeling like they were amazing, easily getting 130 or 140, were really bad this time.

Terrible.

The top students were okay, some even managed to stabilize their scores.

Speaking, she also clicked on the math scores for the entire grade to see how the top students at Fourth High were doing and to take another look at Xinyu's math score.

However, Xinyu's score had to be searched for in the table because there were so many students in the school.

This time, there were really much fewer students who scored above 140, not even a quarter of what there used to be.

Because the average score had dropped by 7 to 11 points, it was difficult for anyone except those who consistently scored above 147 to maintain a high score.

Ah, these 140s counted up to here are…

Seeing this, Xia Fang suddenly paused.

Because she saw Xia Xinyu's name.

Wait, didn't this require a search to find?

With this kind of exam, could Xia Xinyu's level score 140?!

Xia Fang was completely dumbfounded.

Not many people in Class Three could get this kind of score!

Did that mean…

In Class Three, in the field of mathematics, she was already a top student?

This was too unexpected for Xia Fang.

And she remembered that day when Xinyu told her that she had done well on the math exam and that it was all because Chen Yuan had taught her well.

At that time, she thought that even if she did well, she would only get 130 points at most.

Because 130 points was already good on this exam.

But she didn't expect that it would be in this high score range.

If her math had improved so much this time, then wouldn't her overall ranking improve even more?

"Mom, what's wrong?" Zheng Minghao asked with a puzzled look.

Then, Xia Fang patted his head and sternly reprimanded him, "I'm a math teacher, how can your math be your weakness? Are you looking down on me?"

"It's not a weakness, it's just not as outstanding as Chinese and English…"

"With you like this, you wouldn't want to choose liberal arts in high school, would you?"

"..." Zheng Minghao was silent.

"I'm a math teacher, and your dad is a physics teacher, and you're saying you want to choose liberal arts?"

Xia Fang was almost angered to death by this rebellious son's reaction and was on the verge of 'getting anxious'.

"...Mom, elder sister is out!"

Zheng Minghao suddenly pointed at Xia Xinyu in the distance and reminded her with a smile.

"You wait for me when we get back."

After Xia Fang warned her son like this, she took the initiative to greet the woman next to Xia Xinyu, Chen Yuan's mother.

"Sister Yang, hello, thank you for your hard work," Xia Fang said with a warm smile.

"Teacher Xia, you're too kind, it's my duty," Yang Junlian returned with equal enthusiasm.

The two of them greeted each other like this, afraid that any friendly feelings hadn't been conveyed.

"Where's Brother Chen?" Xia Fang asked.

"Oh, he'll be here soon, he's driving over from Eleventh High."

As Yang Junlian spoke, she took out her phone and opened WeChat, ready to send a message. However, she paused for a moment as she opened it, "Oh, Yuan's report card."

Hearing this, Xia Fang naturally shifted her gaze over.

Then, her eyes suddenly widened, and she wrote the expression of extreme shock all over her face.
