nThe next day was the parent-teacher conference.

nQin Sheng sat in her seat. There were already many parents of students around her. They were standing beside their children.

nAfter the teacher informed them about the parent-teacher conference at H City High School, they all had to attend, unless they really had something to do.

nThe parents of Class 4 had already arrived. Only Qin Sheng and Huang Xiaoyan’s parents were not present.

n“Lin Feng, can’t you study hard? You’re embarrassing me. I really regret having a son like you. I might as well adopt one. With you around, I can live ten years less.”

n.

nLin Feng’s father was a nouveau riche. At this moment, he was wearing a luxurious gold necklace and had a beer belly. He was pinching Lin Feng’s ear as he spoke viciously.

n“Daddy, it hurts, it hurts, let go of me quickly.” Lin Feng’s entire face was twisted together.

nIt didn’t matter if it hurt. Lin Feng was mainly afraid of losing face. Pinching his ear in front of so many classmates, wasn’t it damaging to his face as the boss?

n

n

n“You still know how to feel pain?” Lin Feng’s father shouted rudely into Lin Feng’s ear, “If your grades were good, I would treat you as my ancestor. Unfortunately, every time I do it, I lose all my face.”

nWith this shout, the eyes of the entire class and the parents all fell on Lin Feng.

nLin Feng’s face flushed red.

nIt wasn’t pain, it was embarrassment.

nIt was too embarrassing, too embarrassing. He really wanted to find a hole to hide in.

nIt would be fine if his mother came, but if his father came, nothing good would happen.

nWhen Father Lin saw that everyone was looking over, he hurriedly let go of Lin Feng and said in embarrassment, “This son of mine is too bad. I was just teaching him. Sorry for disturbing you guys. You guys can continue.”

nLin Feng, who had been freed, ran out of the classroom and disappeared.

nHuang Xiaoyan was reading a book with her head lowered. She loved to watch the show, but she did not look up at the commotion.

nQin Sheng noticed Huang Xiaoyan’s strange behavior and said softly, “Xiaoyan, is there something going on at home?”

nHuang Xiaoyan could not control herself anymore after being asked by Qin Sheng. She looked up with red eyes and tears in her eyes. “Sheng Sheng, my dad won’t be attending the parent-teacher conference, and my aunt won’t care about me either. My dad believes in her and has never believed in me.”

nQin Sheng was silent for a moment before saying, “Xiaoyan, take care of yourself. You don’t need to care too much about other people’s opinions. Your fate is in your own hands.”

n“Sheng Sheng, you’re right, but I… I can’t ignore his opinions.” Huang Xiaoyan choked up as tears dripped down her cheeks.

nQin Sheng was silent. She didn’t say anything else and took out a tissue for Huang Xiaoyan.

nAlthough she had never experienced the so-called kinship, she still cared about Lin Shuya and Qin Hai in her previous life. She was also in pain when she saw how they despised her.

nIt took her a lifetime to get out of this. Now, she did not care about Lin Shuya and Qin Hai at all.

nHuang Xiaoyan was crying, and Qin Sheng was accompanying her.

n

n

nSome of the students and parents around noticed and came to ask. Qin Sheng answered for Huang Xiaoyan that she was not in a good mood.

nPerhaps it was because she had cried before, but Huang Xiaoyan’s mood was soon adjusted again.

nShe was also a big-hearted person. It would be fine as long as she was sad for a while.

nHuang Xiaoyan asked Qin Sheng, “Sheng Sheng, where are your parents? Why didn’t they come over?”

nQin Sheng smiled and said in a light tone, “They don’t treat me as their daughter, and they also think that my grades are bad. They think that coming to the parent-teacher conference would be a disgrace to them.”

nHuang Xiaoyan’s eyes suddenly turned red again. “Sheng Sheng, so you are worse off than me.”

nHer eyes were red, like a little rabbit.

nQin Sheng could not help but rub Huang Xiaoyan’s head. “Are you feeling better?”

n“Yes.” Huang Xiaoyan nodded wildly.

nQin Sheng’s family was not better than hers. Sheng Sheng was in a good mood, so she had to be like her.
