Zhang Bin just finished surgery and was lying on the hospital bed in excruciating pain, trying to be patient: "It’s not really bad, Zuzi’s performance this time was quite unexpected, it shocked me. As teachers, we really can’t view people with outdated perspectives!"
He had learned a profound lesson; he once looked down on and bet against Zuzi, and ended up almost losing his life as a result, still feeling lingering fears.
Fang Yumei snorted disdainfully: "I don’t care about other subjects, but she got zero in English! She dragged down the entire grade’s average in English, affecting my performance as an outstanding teacher at the year-end. How can I possibly show a kind face to such an idiot?"
Zhang Bin seemed to see himself in the past, having lost his rationality for a second child and performance bonuses.
He couldn’t help but give advice as someone who’s been through it: "Ahem, Teacher Fang, I advise you to understand the situation thoroughly first before deciding whether to criticize the student. I’ll be on sick leave for more than a month due to surgery. The principal said before the college entrance exam, you’ll act as the headteacher of East Sea Class for me, and the kids are in your hands. Please take good care of them..."
Fang Yumei screamed: "What? I’m supposed to handle this pile of garbage? I refuse!"
She slammed the phone down in anger after speaking.
Outside the door, Xi Ruzhu, who was waiting to report homework, overheard Fang Yumei’s call and saw the empty seat of Zuzi in the class, which gave her an understanding.
She hurriedly helped Fang Yumei pick up the phone, seemingly inadvertently saying: "Teacher Fang, the principal just signed the new discipline regulations last week. Senior students skipping class will face a major demerit and have to make a public apology in front of the whole school..."
Fang Yumei didn’t remember any of this but her eyes lit up hearing it: "Quick, bring me the new regulations. If that piece of trash Zuzi dares to skip my English class, I’ll strip her to the bone!"
Xi Ruzhu was just about to take action when she almost bumped into Wu Minghao, who had just returned.
Then she saw the plain white figure wafting gracefully behind Wu Minghao, looking at her with a faint smile: "Remembering school rules so well? I wonder if you also remember last night you were crying and begging, saying you would spend 24 hours at your father’s bedside showing filial piety? And it’s just been a few hours?"
Xi Ruzhu’s face stiffened, not expecting her tattling would be caught on the spot. She concealed her embarrassment, saying: "Zuzi, you’re back already? Hurry up and apologize to Teacher Fang for your mistake."
Zuzi glanced at her briefly, although the look was faint, it inexplicably burned Xi Ruzhu, causing her to dodge slightly.
Wu Minghao, in a bad mood, said to Xi Ruzhu: "Since when did someone from Nanshan Class get the right to comment on something about our East Sea Class?"
Not speaking up for a fellow student was one thing, but openly sucking up to a teacher was the most detestable kind of person.
Such a bitchy attitude!
Xi Ruzhu’s face became even more awkward.
She was usually the goddess in the minds of senior boys, when had a boy ever spoken so harshly to her?
Feeling wronged, tears welled up in her eyes: "I’m sorry, Mr. Wu, you misunderstood me..."
Fang Yumei, however, stood by her: "You two skipping class trash, still have the nerve to argue with my class representative here? Go write a 5000-word review! Await the major demerit!"
Five thousand words? He had a hard enough time writing a five-hundred-word essay, might as well burn this piece of trash if they call him so.
Zuzi didn’t hear a thing, playing with her smartwatch, saw a string of surprised messages from Gu Qiusha: "Zuzi Zuzi, God bless me, I actually found a deposit slip for 13 million cash at the bottom of my dowry chest, I don’t even remember when I deposited it, do you think this is heaven’s favor for me?"
Zuzi couldn’t help but smile slightly, replied with two words: "Mm-hmm."
It was your ancestor who just deposited it, go crazy spending it, Xiao Sha.
Seeing Zuzi being punished but still able to laugh, Fang Yumei felt her severe punishment on trash wasn’t enough and shrieked—
