Ai Xiaxia has a special family. The relationship between her parents has always been bad. After the divorce, she was ordered to live with her father. The father was away on business all year round and did not have much affection for her daughter.
Ai Xiaxia had excellent academic performance since childhood and had a gentle and kind personality. Until later, when the economic situation of her father's company deteriorated and a large sum of money was needed, she had no choice but to sell her house to raise funds.
She also fell from a high position in school and was bruised and swollen. Her friends around her also left her one after another.
But the only comfort during that time was that her father could be with her.
Even if this kind of companionship has always been just people who live under the same roof but don't talk much.
As time went by, her father's company improved significantly. In order to stay with her father, she followed him from one city to another to study.
At first she wanted to make friends, but she was afraid that others were just interested in her family background, just like when a boy in the class laughed at him for buying shoes on the first day of school.
What the boy didn't know was that her grandfather was a brand shoe boss in China, and his business had spread to many countries.
But her grandparents' love for her was almost non-existent. Her mother finally gave birth to her with great difficulty. She was just a girl and could not get the love of her grandparents.
Therefore, she has always protected herself very well and is afraid of the loneliness when she is lonely. Instead of getting it and losing it, she would rather never get it.
As time passed, she no longer needed friends. Anyway, she didn't know when the person she was close to would leave.
She became friends with Cao Aiqian not because she reminded her of her shoelaces, but after so many days of observation, she found that she was as lonely as herself.
But Cao Aiqian finally had more courage in her body, a courage that did not belong to her 16-year-old age group, and a courage that Xia Aiai felt she also needed.
There is still a trace of delusion, maybe walking into her, Xia Aiai feels that it may give her a different kind of warmth.
-------
A few days later, the school cultural test ended. Cao Aiqian did not expect to get the first place, but took the third place and received 6,000 yuan.
What worries her right now is the parent summary meeting at the end of the semester.
Her brother Cao Kouwen used to hold class meetings for her, although every time after a class meeting, she would be scolded when she returned home.
Fortunately this time, Cao Kouwen didn't even respond to her moving out, so he probably didn't want to care about her.
Another headache for her is that the tuition fees of this aristocratic school are so expensive that they are frighteningly expensive. What will she do with her tuition fees for the next semester?
If she suddenly dropped out of school and went to another ordinary school, the whole school would inevitably be suspicious of her. It didn't matter if she was suspicious of her, but when she thought of Cao Kouwen's face...
Forget it……
"What are you thinking about?" Ai Xiaxia patted Cao Aiqian on the shoulder and asked.
Cao Aiqian suddenly woke up: "Huh? Oh...nothing! I was thinking about the class meeting."
Ai Xiaxia looked at Cao Aiqian suspiciously: "You are so good, why are you afraid of holding a parent-teacher meeting?"
Cao Aiqian laughed awkwardly.
"It's me, dad is so busy that he never attends my class meetings." Ai Xiaxia lowered her eyes, her tone was slightly disappointed.
Hearing Ai Xiaxia's words, Cao Aiqian felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and thought to himself: It's really a drought that kills people, and a flood that causes waterlogging!
Cao Kowen would never miss any opportunity to scold her before.
"Wait... you... said your dad never holds parent-teacher conferences, then how did you tell the teacher before?" Cao Aiqian suddenly asked.
Ai Xiaxia was stunned for a moment, looking at her as if she was an idiot: "Call...phone..."
Cao Aiqian slapped her thigh: "That's right, just find someone to call!"
"You two had a great time chatting in your self-study class!" For some reason, Teacher Yan's sinister voice suddenly sounded.
Cao Aiqian and Ai Xiaxia stopped talking at the same time, turned to look in the direction of the door, and saw Teacher Yan with his hands on his hips and a textbook in one hand.
Teacher Yan walked straight to Cao Aiqian, looked at her and said sternly: "Come out!"
Ai Xiaxia stood up obediently, and Cao Aiqian quickly stood up when she saw this.
Teacher Yan glanced at Ai Xiaxia and said, "Sit down!"
this…
At the back door of the classroom, Teacher Yan put down the book and turned to stare at Cao Aiqian: "Cao Aiqian, in order to avoid the class meeting, who are you going to ask to replace you..."
"Ah..." Cao Aiqian whispered.
"Ah what! Although you have made progress this semester, if you don't check your attendance, you are either absent from class or asking for leave..."
"You think the school is your vegetable garden. You can enter when you want to and leave when you want..."
"..."
Teacher Yan gave a series of angry reprimands, revealing all the previous evil deeds of the original owner.
Cao Aiqian's head was buzzing. Teacher Yan usually liked to chatter.
Only this time...
"Call your brother now!" Teacher Yan glanced coldly at the stunned Cao Aiqian.
Seeing that Cao Aiqian had no reaction, Teacher Yan took out his mobile phone: "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't fight, I will fight for you!"
Teacher Yan dialed Cao Kouwen's number. Not long after, a busy signal came from the phone. Several calls were made in a row, all busy signals...
"Your brother doesn't want you anymore?" Teacher Yan looked confused. He has been unable to get through Cao Kouwen's phone recently.
This is not something Cao Kouwen can do!
“…”
Teacher Yan put away her phone and glanced at Cao Aiqian. At this time, she took a long breath, feeling as comfortable as after a disaster.
"Find your own way. You must see your brother in the class meeting, otherwise you won't have to attend class next semester..."
After saying that, Teacher Yan left the classroom, leaving behind a dumbfounded Cao Aiqian.
It seems that I can only bite the bullet and go for it! It is impossible for Cao Aiqian to invite Cao Kouwen!
On the day of the class meeting, the atmosphere in the entire class was depressing and depressing. Everyone was silently mourning their tragic fate...
Teacher Yan glared at Cao Aiqian angrily and said, "Where is your brother..."
A stiff smile appeared at the corner of Cao Aiqian's mouth, and he replied weakly: "Old...teacher, I told you that my brother was in a car accident, do you believe it or not?"
Teacher Yan's expression suddenly changed: "I was interviewed on the news this morning. Tell me..."
"Stand outside in the corridor!"
Cao Aiqian walked out of the classroom obediently and stood in the corridor. A gust of cold wind came and ruffled the tips of her black hair.
She felt very proud in her heart: Just stand outside! You can’t let me invite him!
Parents arrived one after another. Chen Luoxing came a little late with Chen Zhimin on his arm. When he saw Cao Aiqian standing in the corridor, he laughed and said, "Oh~ who do I think you are?"
"..." Cao Ai gave her a blank look.
"Ha~" Chen Luoxing snorted coldly.
Chen Zhimin frowned and looked at his daughter: "Why are you talking!"
"Dad, I didn't..." Chen Luoxing immediately explained aggrievedly, but when she saw her father's reproachful gaze, she shut up.
Chen Zhimin was about to say something to Cao Aiqian when Teacher Yan came out with a smile: "Dr. Chen, you are here. Come in quickly and the whole class is waiting for you!"
Chen Zhimin nodded and followed Teacher Yan in.
Cao Aiqian sighed inwardly, as expected, Chen Zhimin doted on his daughter, and Teacher Yan was naturally polite and courteous to her, unlike her...
Her brother used to only ask Teacher Yan to beat him if he disobeyed!
"Hey! Why don't you come in yet!" Chen Luoxing whispered to Cao Aiqian outside, full of sarcasm.
"None of your business." Cao Ai gave her a blank look and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
The class meeting has been going on. In fact, except for Cao Aiqian's parents, Ai Xiaxia's parents also didn't come.
"Ai Qian...Ai Qian..." Ai Xiaxia walked out quietly from the back door of the classroom.
"You...how did you come out?"
"Hehe..." Ai Xiaxia squatted and grinned: "It's okay! During the parent-teacher conference, our students all stood at the back, and the seats were all taken by parents. The teacher couldn't pay attention..."
"That won't work, I'm forced to stand..." Cao Aiqian was about to cry but had no tears.
"It's not because I talked to you last time that made you...I'm sorry, Ai Qian!"
"Forget it, it's okay..."
Cao Aiqian shook her head and said that she didn't mind. Ai Xiaxia had been apologizing to her for this matter in the past few days.
"Go back to the classroom quickly..."
"Okay!" After saying that, Ai Xiaxia crouched and prepared to sneak into the classroom through the back door!
