Translator: Tuiwen  Editor: Tuiwen

The parent of the top-performing student was expected to share their child’s limelight in today’s event.

It would have been an excellent opportunity to establish connections, so Yao Yuanwas particularly sorry to hear thatYao Ranhad only ranked third in the exams.

He glanced around the crowd of people before him and frowned with impatience. If he had known about this earlier, he wouldn’t have bothered to come.

His gaze drifted off to the area marked for the last cla.s.s, and his eyes widened when he spotted a familiar figure. “Is that Yao Tang?”

Yao Ran looked in the same direction and quietly answered in the affirmative.

“She didn’t cause any trouble, did she?” Yao Yuansneered.

“No, I don’t think so. Didn’t Dad tell me to stay away from Sister? I followed your advice and didn’t pay much attention to her, but I heard that someone came to the school a few days ago to challenge her into a fight.”

The man almost choked on his own saliva. He was incensed at the prospect of Yao Tang getting into public brawls and tarnis.h.i.+ng their family name in the process. “A fight?”

He took a deep breath and was about to say something more when the man beside Yao Tang suddenly turned, revealing his face.

Yao Yuan’s eyes widened even more.

‘Is that… Is that the Cheng family’s crown prince??’

He knew Cheng Yan’s face all too well. Additionally, he was also with the director of the No. 1 High School, and the most notable personage in the entire City A. These were the people that Yao Yuan had tried every means to get close to, yet he got rejected at every turn.

But why were they around Yao Tang?

“Ranran, why are Meng Yang and his mother standing next to Yao Tang?” he asked in a low voice, his eyes still fixed in the distance.

Yao Ran a.s.sumed that the woman among Yao Tang’s group was Meng Yan$ mother, but she had no idea who Cheng Yan was.

Belatedly, she realized Meng Yangs ident.i.ty on the campus.

His father was one of the city’s head councilors, which was why Yao Yuan had asked her to try and cultivate a good relations.h.i.+p with Meng Yang. If her father found out about the relations.h.i.+p between that boy and Yao Tang now…

Yao Rang’s eyes flashed with new determination.

She spoke in a brisk and direct tone. “When Sister was admitted to Cla.s.s 12, she liked to pick fights with anyone and eventually became friends with Meng Yang. He’s a notorious school bully, you know. His mother must be having a chat with Sister’s guardian.”

Yao Yuan still had some doubts, but he somehow managed a sigh of relief. Only to realize something else shortly after.

‘No, wait. How is Yao Tang acquainted with a powerful figure like Cheng Yan?’

They must have just run into each other in this crowded affair, nothing more. Even so, he was quite displeased about the fact that Yao Tang had never mentioned anything about the parent-teacher conference.

He should have enrolled Yao Ran into Cla.s.s 12 instead.

With the help of both Meng Yang and Cheng Yan, his career would have flourished without a hitch.

It was quite a pity that things turned out differently.

“Ranran, ” Yao Yuan said in a coaxing voice. ‘You know Meng Yang, too, don’t you? You know about his family background. Since you are both in the same school, you must make good use of your circ.u.mstances. ”

After all, he had taken this girl in because he used to not have a daughter. Now…

Yao Ran stared at Meng Yang. He was very good-looking, and hailed from a very influential family, to boot. No one in their school had ever dared to provoke or question him, not even the teachers. It would be exciting, indeed, to take a dip into the power he wielded.

A faint blush rose in her cheeks at the thought. “I understand, Dad.”

At ten minutes before nine o’clock, almost every parent was in attendance. The music rose into a crescendo through the speakers, followed by the organizer’s instructions.

The parents and students lined up on either side of the quadrangle square, waiting to enter the main venue.

Finally, the start of the mobilization ceremony was announced, and the princ.i.p.al took to the air to address everyone.

“Parents, teachers, students, good morning. I thank you all for attending the first parent-teacher conference for our third-year students. At the same time, we will be holding the mobilization ceremony to senior high school. The past twelve years of their scholarly toil, as well as their future successes or failures, will be determined by the decisions they make after today. We look forward to our efforts and hard work to bear the most abundant fruits as our dear students set out into the world.”

The princ.i.p.al was up on the stage, his voice impa.s.sioned by his ardent hopes.

Unbeknownst to all, Ruan Qing secretly dashed backstage. A few people were there, but they were either occupied with their phones or engaged in conversation with each other.

When the director’s a.s.sistant noticed her, he rushed over in alarm. “What are you doing here, Qing Qing? The ceremony is about to start. ”

Ruan Qing gave him an embarra.s.sed smile. “I think I left my gla.s.ses somewhere around here.”

“Then hurry and look for them,” the a.s.sistant director said as he walked away. “Be sure to get back to your position once you find them.”

Ruan Qing nodded obediently. She checked on the other people present one last time before heading over to the computer.

She proceeded to remove the USB drive that was attached to it and quickly replaced the device with her own.

She then deleted the PowerPoint presentation that was meant for the mobilization ceremony and put the file she had created on the computer desktop.

Her eyes glinted with malice.

After making sure that nothing looked amiss, Ruan Qing whirled stepped away from the computer and looked back at the others. They were still busy minding their own business. Only then did her tense body start to relax.

She slipped her gla.s.ses out of her pocket and held them up in her hand. “Teacher, I’ve found my gla.s.ses. I’ll be leaving now.”

Then, she dashed away before the a.s.sistant director could even say anything. He sighed as he watched her go. “She keeps leaving them everywhere. “.
