Chapter 61: A Parent-Teacher Conference Filled With Regret

Everyone was filled with regret. They thought bitterly that Shen Dazhuang must have received word beforehand. Otherwise, why would Shen Dazhuang dare to go against the Xiao family alone?

But no matter what, this time, Shen Dazhuang was definitely going to make a fortune.

After the news gets released and it becomes known that Shen Dazhuang’s company would not be able to take on this project alone, many first-rate families would beg to cooperate with him.

After Xiao Ying and Shen Meijia returned, they were slightly puzzled.

Xiao Ying guessed that Cheng Yang must have done something again.

Facing Xiao Ying’s questioning gaze, Cheng Yang did not explain.

Liu Meifeng walked up to the podium nervously, not daring to look in Xiao Ying’s direction.

Right after the class meeting ended, Liu Meifeng received the news that the principal had dismissed her from her position.

Cheng Yang took Xiao Ying’s hand and walked out.

Usually, the parents would leave right after the meetings ended, but this time, there was not a single one who did.

They all hoped that they could get the chance to make connections with Cheng Yang. It would be even better if they could get his favor like Shen Dazhuang.

However, under these circumstances, nobody would dare to provoke Xiao Ying now. As a result, they didn’t have the opportunity to stand forth like Shen Dazhuang did.

Everyone subconsciously turned to look at the Xiao family.

The corners of Xiao Lingbo’s mouth twitched. He was not stupid, why would he voluntarily stand out and be their stepping stone?

He already regretted letting Shen Dazhuang take the limelight. After all, their Xiao family also had a real estate business.

He looked at Xiao Ying with an even more displeased expression. They raised this little ingrate for so many years, and she didn’t even know to share the good things with her own family?

Wherever Cheng Yang went, the crowd automatically parted to make way for him.

Right when he walked out the door, Xiao Ruoxuan called, “Brother Cheng Yang.”

Cheng Yang’s footsteps did not even stop.

Xiao Ruoxuan’s expression was a little ugly.

Xiao Lingbo’s eyes lit up, following Cheng Yang outside. “Mr. Cheng, I have something to tell you.”

Cheng Yang frowned as he looked at the person in his way, indicating with his eyes that he should speak quickly.

Xiao Lingbo pushed Xiao Ruoxuan forward and said, “Ying’er and Ruoxuan have always had a good relationship. With Ying’er living at your place, she’ll definitely feel lonely by herself. How about you let Ruoxuan accompany her?”

Although Xiao Ruoxuan was unhappy that she was going to accompany Xiao Ying, as long as she entered Brother Cheng Yang’s house, he would definitely realize that she was better than Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ruoxuan smiled widely again.

Cheng Yang pondered for a moment and looked down at Xiao Ying.

Seeing that Cheng Yang did not reject her immediately, Xiao Ying said rather coldly, “It has nothing to do with me.”

Cheng Yang just wanted to ask if Xiao Ying felt lonely, but he hadn’t expected the little girl to reply so coldly before he even had the opportunity to ask.

“And what if I let her move in?” he asked deliberately.

Xiao Ying’s expression changed. She looked down at her toes and said indifferently, “Up to you.”

After pausing for a second, Xiao Ying squeezed Cheng Yang’s hand and said gloomily, “If you take her home, I’ll leave.”

Cheng Yang smiled and stroked her head. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

When Cheng Yang faced the Xiao family again, there was no smile on his face. “Did you hear that? My little girl doesn’t welcome you.”

With that, he walked past them and left.

Now, the way the parents in the classroom looked at the Xiao couple had changed. Xiao Lingbo must be blind to throw away a money-making daughter while treating a useless daughter like treasure.

Xiao Lingbo turned around and left with a dark expression.

Madam Xiao and Xiao Ruoxuan were left behind. Xiao Ruoxuan’s eyes were filled with hatred.

It was all because of Xiao Ying. If it hadn’t been for her, Brother Cheng Yang would have taken her home.

She must be jealous and afraid that Brother Cheng Yang would like her.

Madam Xiao also felt ashamed. All other ladies present looked at her mockingly.

Unable to stand that type of look, Madam Xiao quickly led Xiao Ruoxuan to chase after Xiao Lingbo.

Xiao Ying was still unhappy by the time they walked out of the school gate.
