1847 The Truth is Revealed Part Twelve (2/2)

”Yeah!” Beibei nodded and he boasted loudly, ”This parent-teacher conference is only for the top ten students in class.”

Ming Anyu's eyes flickered happily as he walked to Beibei. He caressed his face and praised him. ”Beibei is really awesome. I'm proud of you.”

His eyes swept past Su Yue and he said to Beibei, ”Your mommy just got back. She should rest. If your daddy isn't free, I can go on his behalf.”

Su Yue blurted before he could even form a sentence. ”It's fine. I don't need to rest. I can attend the parent-teacher conference. We don't want to trouble you,” said Su Yue as she smiled at Ming Anyu.

She pulled Beibei closer to her quietly, with no one noticing.

Her eyes gleamed with hostility as she looked at Ming Anyu.

A streak of surprise flashed across Ming Anyu's eyes when he heard Su Yue. He peered at her and smiled. ”Su Yue, I am Beibei's…”

Before he could finish his introduction, Su Yue interjected, ”I know. You're Beibei's uncle.”

She pressed her lips and smiled brightly.

Ming Anyu was startled but he nodded. ”Yeah, his uncle.”

He looked away to hide his awkwardness.

”It's alright. I was thinking of visiting Beibei's school as well. I should familiarize myself with the directions, as I need to fetch him in the future,” Su Yue put her arm around Beibei, as though a deep bond between them had been forged.

Ming Anyu smiled at her. ”Sure.”

There was a subtle trace of disappointment in his tone.

Su Yue flashed a fleeting smile and steered Beibei towards the couch.

Xiaojiao was finally awake. Wang Yuexiang presented a tray of snacks to win her favor.

She knew Xiaojiao well since all types of snacks were her favorites.
