The meaning in Teacher Zhao’s eyes couldn’t have been more obvious.
Xie Tingyuan was beginning to feel a hint of anger.
“Teacher Zhao, the student is someone you chose to take on yourself. If you can’t take good care of her, you can pack your things and leave.”
This Teacher Zhao was a new teacher who had just joined this year. There had been other excellent candidates in the same batch.
But in the end, only she had been hired.
He had delegated the entire matter of hiring teachers to the Dean of Studies.
It was true that he was approaching retirement age.
But approaching retirement didn’t mean this school was now under the Dean of Studies’ control.
So when Lu Xiong had called him two days ago, asking to enroll his child as a transfer student,
he had agreed without a second thought.
But when he passed the information and documents to the Dean of Studies, he hadn’t mentioned that Lu Yinghan was a member of the Lu family. He had only written some very ordinary basic information.
If you want to lure the fish to the hook, you still need to set up all the traps in advance…
But this child…
If his recruitment of the Lu family’s child was for his own plan,
then there was also the child’s own bearing—surely no one would dare look down on her.
But seeing Lu Yinghan herself today, and the way she interacted with Lu Jiansen,
his brows furrowed slightly.
Had the Lu family run out of money?
Couldn’t they even afford to raise one child?
While he was lost in thought,
Teacher Zhao had already led Lu Yinghan toward the classroom.
She strode forward with big steps, her high heels making loud clacking sounds.
Lu Yinghan could only trot along behind her.
Teacher Zhao occasionally turned back to glance at the backpack on Lu Yinghan’s back.
A wave of contempt rose in her heart.
Tch.
Trying to put up a front.
She couldn’t even afford the latest style of clothes, yet she’d bought the newest model of this backpack.
This backpack must have been meant to last her six years.
What a regret!
There were so many people surnamed Lu in the capital—how could she possibly be so lucky as to be one of the Lu family children?!
She’d been so proactive yesterday, even having the Dean of Studies pull some strings behind the scenes for her.
And tonight after work, she’d have to go to the hotel with him…
She clicked her tongue in disgust.
Every time after being intimate with the Dean of Studies, she had to wash herself several times when she got home, and vomit several times too.
So greasy and disgusting, and his body odor was strong.
If it weren’t for building some connections with the students’ families,
who would want to have an affair with a stinking man like him?
But this restless anger was making her extremely irritated!
She turned her head and looked impatiently at Lu Yinghan, who was trotting to keep up.
She transferred all her frustration onto this young girl.
“Hurry up! It’s such a short distance and you’re still this slow. Go tell your parents to buy you better shoes when you get home. How can you walk fast in such worn-out shoes? How poor is your family? Don’t your parents even know their own place?”
Lu Yinghan looked up in shock at this teacher who was personally attacking a student.
She was practically spouting nonsense.
Was there no surveillance camera here? How could she be this brazen?
Indeed, there were no surveillance cameras.
In this aristocratic school, to give the children their own private space, surveillance—that thing that invaded privacy—was not installed anywhere on campus.
Not even in the school’s small convenience store.
The students all queued up and paid on their own.
Precisely because there were no cameras, Teacher Zhao could be as arrogant as she pleased right now.
If those words had been said to an ordinary child, they would indeed have gotten a bit angry.
But Teacher Zhao had said them to the wrong person.
Lu Yinghan, who in this life wanted to sever ties with the Lu family, chose to ignore Teacher Zhao’s mockery of her parents.
She even found it a little amusing.
Lu Xiong and He Shu truly didn’t pay attention to her or care about her, but the Lu family was indeed the number one family in the capital.
If the Lu family was poor,
then this capital—or even the entire Z country—had no wealthy families at all.
Lu Yinghan accepted the mockery with a blank expression, which pleased Teacher Zhao greatly.
That’s how it should be—students should never talk back to their teachers.
Her mood improved slightly, and she let out a cold snort.
She continued leading Lu Yinghan forward.
A luxurious classroom building came into Lu Yinghan’s view.
Besides the regular classrooms, there were also baking rooms, culinary classrooms, foreign language classrooms, dedicated music rooms, recording studio classrooms, and painting classrooms…
Walking down a corridor, she turned her head to look outside—there was even an equestrian field!
The upperclassmen were currently having their horseback riding lesson!
Lu Yinghan’s eyes widened!
This was an environment she could never have been exposed to in her previous life!
Born into a prestigious family, yet she had lived so humbly.
Perhaps it was the butterfly effect in this life—Lu Xiong and Lu Jiansen had thought to send her to school.
But the tuition was still too expensive.
Over six hundred thousand a year…
Lu Yinghan immediately pushed the thought out of her mind.
She silently noted it in her heart instead—once she earned money in the future, she would slowly save up bit by bit and pay them back.
They soon arrived at Teacher Zhao’s classroom.
The Teacher Zhao who had been furious just moments ago immediately adjusted her demeanor.
She turned to Lu Yinghan with a fake, syrupy smile.
“We’re here, Yinghan~”
She pulled open the heavy mahogany door.
The noise in the classroom exploded against Lu Yinghan’s ears like a bomb.
Some were shouting, some were making a racket, and some had even formed little cliques!
The girls were mostly gathered around a long-haired little girl.
Before Lu Yinghan could get a clear look, that little girl had already run to the back row and sat down quietly.
When the homeroom teacher appeared, the kids in the class did give her enough face to sit back down.
But they still turned around to chat with the people in front, behind, and beside them.
They completely ignored Teacher Zhao.
Yet even so, this Teacher Zhao still plastered a smile on her face and faced these kids.
“Everyone, today our class has a new transfer student. Let’s all welcome her~”
This news made them stop chatting and turn curious gazes toward the door.
“A transfer student?? At this time of year?”
“No way? My dad said it’s super hard to get a spot at this school. Even us first-years had to reserve our spots a whole year in advance.”
“Who is it? Someone that impressive to transfer in now?”
These were all children or grandchildren of influential families across the capital, big and small.
At such a young age, they had already been shaped by their family environments.
Arrogant, proud, and insufferable.
But that was only one part of the class. The other part was the complete opposite.
Most of them came from strict households, forced to learn many things since kindergarten. They had good upbringing, and they genuinely despised those classmates who looked down on others.
So when Lu Yinghan appeared in the classroom.
The scene was awkward and hilarious at the same time.
Half of them burst out laughing, mocking Lu Yinghan, while the other half clapped their hands earnestly.
Welcoming Lu Yinghan’s arrival.
It was Lu Yinghan’s first day joining this class.
And her heart was already starting to feel a little tired.
Not only was the homeroom teacher bizarre, but the class atmosphere was like fire and ice—two extremes!
This is the prestigious school?!
