“Mianmian, your homeroom teacher called me today,” she tried to say calmly, “Your school’s really unhappy that you did not turn up today.”

“I had things to do,” Lu Mian replied plainly as she took a bite of her burger.

Fu Man felt her blood boil when she saw her daughter’s nonchalant manner.

“What things could you possibly have to do? Do you know how much effort I put in to get you into Kun Peng High School? I had to ask your uncle to use his connections, going as far as the Education Ministry for them to admit you as a first year because you were a victim. This is Wu City’s best high school! Don’t you know to cherish it!”

“And Doctor Ye Jinwen. He’s a famous psychologist. I had to queue for so long to get you an appointment, and yet you…”

At this thought, Fu Man felt that the dishes before her were hard to swallow.

“Mom, don’t be mad. Sister just returned, she’s still adjusting. Give her a little more time. Yell at me if you’d like, don’t scold sister…”

“You silly child, why would I scold you? She’s not even setting a good example as a sister, and she’s pushing you out as her scapegoat!”

Her two daughters were worlds apart.

As Lu Xinnuan comforted her mother, she changed the topic of conversation.

“Mom, don’t be mad. Think happy thoughts. Did you forget? Tomorrow’s Saturday. Su Jue invited me over to his place for dinner. He said that Grandpa Su is back!”

Fu Man’s expression changed for the better at the mention of this matter.

Like the Lu Family, the Su family was a well known family in Wu City. Old Mr. Su, in particular, had ties in Capital Jin, so everyone in the city wanted to befriend him.
