From Sidekick to Bigshot

The next morning, the three members of the Jian family arrived at Shenghua High School ahead of time.

Wen Nuan headed towards Jian Yunnao’s teaching block. On the other hand, Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng headed towards Jian Yiling’s teaching block.

The last two days had been incredibly difficult for Mo Huiqin. She didn’t tell Mo Shiyun about what had happened. She didn’t want her daughter to worry. She wanted her daughter to focus on studying.

However, she couldn’t hide He Jianjun from her. Nowadays, he visited their home practically every day. Although he didn’t make a fuss, his presence alone was enough to make them feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Mo Huiqin would have rathered He Jianjun to do something. If he did something, she could prepare more evidence for the divorce lawsuit.

However, he did nothing. His presence merely disgusted Mo Huiqin and Mo Shiyun.

Today was her daughter’s first parent-teacher conference for her final year of senior high. Mo Huiqin couldn’t afford to be absent and embarrass her daughter.

And thus, no matter how difficult things had been lately, Mo Huiqin still dressed up. She put on her best clothes and showed up at Mo Shiyun’s classroom.

Every parent-teacher conference was a time when Mo Huiqin felt most proud of herself.

The teachers would often praise her daughter. This caused other parents to look at her in envy.

She had lived her entire life at the bottom of the social ladder. There was nothing that she had to show off with. However, this was the one thing that she was proud of. Everyone looked up to her for it.

It didn’t matter whether they were elites or business owners. This time, they had to look up at her with envious eyes. They all envied that she had a brilliant daughter.

However today, Mo Huiqin couldn’t truly be happy.

She knew that Jian Yunnao’s parents would also be here.

She was incredibly afraid that Jian Yuncheng would turn up. She didn’t want to see that man.

Her heart eased a little when she saw Wen Nuan enter the front door. Wen Nuan was dressed elegantly.

Out of everyone in the Jian family, Wen Nuan had the softest temper.

Her voice was even soft when she spoke.

In the past few years of working in the Jian family, Wen Nuan had always been incredibly good to her. She didn’t really mind if Aunt Mo wanted to take a leave of absence. Even if Aunt Mo made a small mistake, Wen Nuan wouldn’t take it seriously.

However, Mo Huiqin knew that Wen Nuan wouldn’t treat her as well as she had before. However, she was still much better than Jian Yuncheng. Jian Yuncheng was particularly a demon to her at this point.

When Wen Nuan walked close to her, Mo Huiqin immediately lowered her head. She didn’t dare to look into Wen Nuan’s eyes.

In the midst of her nervousness, she saw Wen Nuan walk past her to sit down in the seat with Jian Yunnao’s name on it.

Upon seeing this, Mo Huiqin let out a sigh of relief.

It appeared as though Wen Nuan didn’t plan to do anything drastic in front of so many people.

The first half of the parent-teachers’ conference went incredibly well.

Halfway through the meeting, the teacher invited the parents of the most outstanding students in the class up to talk on the stage. The teacher wanted the parents to share insight about how they raised their children.

This was an annual event. Most of the parents were already used to this.

Mo Shiyun had always been one of the top students in her class. And thus, every year, Mo Huiqin had a chance to talk in front of the other parents.

This year was no exception. She heard the teacher say: “Now please invite Mo Shiyun’s parents to speak on the stage.” Upon hearing this, Mo Huiqin was excited and nervous at the same time.

Mo Huiqin slowly got up and took a couple of steps forward. However, Wen Nuan suddenly stood up and stopped Mo Huiqin.

“Mo Shiyun’s mother is not qualified to speak on the stage as a parent of an outstanding student. Even if her daughter’s grades are good, she’s not qualified to be up there to speak to everyone. Her behavior and conduct are dishonorable and dishonest.”

Wen Nuan’s interruption made all the parents in the class look at her.
