Chapter 64 – What Was Meng Yan Thinking? (1)
Unlike the others, Lin Yiyi was really looking forward to this teacher-parent meeting.
This was her first time during this lifetime…. No, including her previous lifetime, this was her first time attending a parent-teacher meeting as a parent…
How could she not be excited?
Besides, Meng Yuran was a child with very good self-discipline and has always had very good grades. Never mind the original owner, even Lin Yiyi didn’t need to look over his shoulder or nag him to work hard.
Today was also the first time that his teacher got to meet Meng Yuran’s parents.
All the parent-teacher meetings in the previous years were attended by the babysitter. After a while, the teacher had learned that this child’s parents were very busy individuals who never paid the child much attention, which gave the teacher certain preconception about his parents.
“I have never seen a student as outstanding as Meng Yuran all these years that I have been a teacher. His grades are outstanding and he’s very mature. He never acted up like the other students. He’s always the top of his class on every examination and also top of the entire grade ….”
All in all, in the eyes of his teacher, he was an outstanding student that every teacher liked!
The more outstanding the pupil was, the more she thought his parents were ridiculous.
But the other parents didn’t know that.
When they heard how the teacher raved about this child, they were green with envy.
They’d look at the child, then at their own children….
They wish they could someone rebirth them and do it all over again!
Then, they looked at his mother. She had taken such good care of her skin. Her son was how old now? And she still looked like she had just walked out of the college. It was obvious that she had lived a good life, one that she had nothing to worry about.
There was nothing crueler than comparison.
Lin Yiyi nodded at the teacher’s words.
“You are right. We haven’t been the best parents and didn’t spend that much time with our kids. The reason this kid could be so outstanding had a lot to do with his teachers and his self-awareness…”
Exactly. That was exactly how wonderful her instant son was. However, she hadn’t forgotten to defend herself a little, “We have two kids, sometimes it was just difficult to pay both a lot of attention. Their dad had worked long hours and was rarely home. Well, now that we are divorced, I can finally focus all my energy on my two kids.”
The teacher was stunned a little.
The teacher was not a psychic. She had no way of knowing the family background of her pupil.
Now that she found out, she couldn’t help but feel a little compassion for both the mother and Meng Yuran.
“Luckily, he’s such a wonderful child. I never needed to worry about him.”
All the way until the end of the parent-teacher meeting and Lin Yiyi walked out of the classroom, the young man waited in the hallway. Seeing her coming out, he walked up next to her.
Lin Yiyi looked at him tenderly.
The teacher, too, felt both sorry and pleased for him.
The looks from the other parents were much more complicated: there were compassion, sympathy, envy, etc,…
Meng Yuran, “……”
Exactly what had happened inside?
Shortly after the parent-teacher meeting, all the 6th graders entered into the examination-preparation stage.
The days passed by, neither long nor short. In the blink of an eye, Meng Yuran had graduated grade school.
The two children at home started their summer vacation one after the other.
They didn’t have a lot planned at the start of the summer vacation, but Lin Yiyi planned to take them on a trip. A long vacation didn’t come by easily, they should go and enjoy themselves.
Meng Yuran reminded her, “You sure you can get away from your restaurant?”
The restaurant had started to get on track, but Lin Yiyi’s house dishes were still customers’ favorites.
She had gradually rolled off her work to her two executive chefs so she could take more time off…
If she couldn’t even be away from her restaurant for a day, then she’d be tied to the restaurant and would never be able to have her own life.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll make arrangements when the time comes.”
