Chapter 253: Chapter 253 What’s Wrong with My Daughter-in-law?
How could this happen....
Is this true or false?
The phone number looks right, and the voice of that young secretary is also correct. But what did he say?
He said Mrs. Gu passed on the message?
Who is Sheng Tang, how could she be entitled to have Mrs. Gu repeatedly stand up for her?
Last time, Mrs. Gu asked the principal to notify her, giving her face; this time, it’s directly the secretary of the school’s board stepping in, then next time...
There won’t be a next time.
That young secretary, so cold in manner, already informed her: Mess with Sheng Tang again, and you’ll be out.
She threatened Sheng Tang, saying she’d make sure she couldn’t continue her studies, but that was her tough talk; and Sheng Tang...
Sheng Tang’s threat turned out to be real.
The homeroom teacher’s knuckles were stiff, unable to unclench her fingers for a long time.
Song Chen hung up the phone and reported truthfully to Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu happened to be at home today.
A snowstorm in S City made travel by plane difficult, and her matters were delayed, so she decided to stay home for the day.
She casually asked Song Chen, "How has Ting been doing lately?"
"The young master is doing well."
"And my daughter-in-law, is she enjoying her time at school? Did Ting send out his gift for her birthday last time?" Mrs. Gu asked again.
Song Chen smiled.
He said the birthday party young master prepared yesterday was very successful, and Sheng Tang was very pleased.
However....
Song Chen explained to Mrs. Gu about Gu Jiahui sending flowers, and Sheng Tang being called away by the homeroom teacher, then messaging him afterwards.
Mrs. Gu frowned upon hearing this: "Just because Tangtang has no power, that teacher shows such obvious favoritism. Get Chairman Li here, I need to use his phone to make a call to that teacher.
She doesn’t know her place, angered my daughter-in-law, and affected her studies; I’ll settle accounts with her, Tangtang is about to enter junior year. Teachers are supposed to educate, she truly isn’t fit."
Song Chen felt this was too high-profile.
Tangtang surely wouldn’t want such a scene.
"...When the young master enrolled, the master asked me to get an honorary title on the board. I didn’t go through our family but directly sought help from friends in the education bureau. To be fair, that teacher has my number saved, I’ll make the call." Song Chen said.
Mrs. Gu nodded, "Keep your tone stern."
Song Chen complied.
The phone call hung up for quite a while before the homeroom teacher trembled, walked out of the office.
The cold wind hit her face, snapping her awake.
Ignoring the thick snow on the ground, she hurried back to the classroom.
Students were ready for class, the teacher wasn’t there yet, it was the most chaotic time.
Because of the snowfall, and the presence of roses, many girls were outside taking pictures.
Sheng Tang was sitting at her seat doing homework.
The homeroom teacher walked over, the classroom fell silent for a moment.
She walked to Sheng Tang’s side, softly said, "Sheng Tang, come out for a moment."
Gone was the previous aloofness, her sycophantic face now had a bit of a smile.
Sheng Tang stood up, following her to the hallway.
The homeroom teacher’s voice was especially kind, Sheng Tang seemed to hear her speak like this for the first time, like a neighborly aunt rather than the stern, suit-wearing, efficient homeroom teacher.
She smiled, "I spoke a few words to you earlier, why are you so temperamental? The teacher was wrong, I shouldn’t have doubted my student, I apologize to you."
They were standing in the hallway, and just then Feng Yijin came back, walking by from behind.
The homeroom teacher didn’t see her, but Feng Yijin overheard what the teacher said.
Feng Yijin was completely stunned.
She thought the homeroom teacher was the best at treating people based on their status, and a student like Sheng Tang with such a family background, had always been her target for suppression. Even if not suppressing, she would never be this humble.
What the hell?
Feng Yijin looked at Sheng Tang in bewilderment.
"Well, I thank the teacher as well, it’s good that you can admit your error." Sheng Tang said indifferently.
This attitude seemed very well received by the homeroom teacher.
Then, the homeroom teacher advised Sheng Tang, "Study hard, don’t let others disturb your mind. You have always been steady, your grades have improved quickly, the teacher values you the most, you should know."
Sheng Tang sneered inwardly.
If she didn’t know Gu Shiting, she couldn’t imagine how badly the teacher would have trampled her at this moment.
The cruelty of society, one could glimpse in the Ivory Tower of a school.
Sheng Tang also climbed her way up slowly before, having endured a lot of hardships as a young girl. But as she matured, solidifying her connections and status, people gradually began to consider her feelings, making her life a bit easier.
Starting from scratch again, she no longer had that youthful patience.
She nodded to the homeroom teacher without speaking, turned and went back to the classroom.
The homeroom teacher dared not show a bad face, tucked her tail and left.
