Chapter 71: A Conspiracy
There were still a few minutes before the parent-teacher conference began, and some of the parents whom they were rather familiar with in the past had already started chatting with each other.
Chen Man looked around casually and noticed that there were many notifications posted on the noticeboard near the door. She stood up and walked over to see what the notifications were.
She walked to the noticeboard and before Chen Man could take a closer look at what was pasted on it, a boy dressed gorgeously suddenly walked in from the entrance of Class Eight. He first stood at the door and looked at Chen Man before walking straight towards the woman.
“Hello, Auntie. Are you Mo Zhu’s mother? Can you help me tell Mo Zhu that I really like the birthday present she gave me last time? This is my return gift to her.”
Just as he finished speaking, the boy lowered his head and handed the thing in his hand to Chen Man. After a pause, Chen Man took it with a smile. “Okay, I’ll pass it to Xiao Zhu when we get home.”
Hearing Chen Man’s gentle reply, the boy was stunned. He looked up at the woman’s smiling face and was obviously a little embarrassed. “Then I’ll have to trouble Auntie…”
After saying this, without waiting for Chen Man’s answer, the boy quickly walked out of Class Eight and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
After turning the corner, the boy looked around for a while. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he entered the storage room by the staircase in a flash.
There was a girl quietly waiting for him inside. The boy quickly walked two steps closer to the girl and said carefully, “It’s been done. I was squatting at the back door for half a day and I only handed the gift to her after I heard the woman admit that she was Mo Zhu’s parent.”
Seeming to be a little hesitant, the boy frowned. “However, she appeared calm and composed when she saw the love shaped gift box I gave her. I heard that Madam Fang’s temper is not very gentle. Could the rumors be wrong?”
Because he had agreed to handle this matter, he still spent a lot of effort to understand Mo Zhu’s background. Mrs. Fang from the Fang family was famous for being difficult to deal with in the circle of noble ladies in Cloud City. He didn’t expect that it would be different from what everyone was saying today.
“Are you sure you didn’t give Mo Zhu’s present to the wrong person? That shouldn’t be the case. I’ve investigated it before. Qin Ya had spent a lot of effort to force Mo Zhu to marry the Huo family’s sick son. Now that she knows that her daughter is involved with another man, she shouldn’t have such a reaction!”
The person who spoke was Du Wei. Although she knew that the Du family had issued a kill order to settle Mo Zhu on the Love Pavilion, she had not received any news from them after so long. She could not wait any longer to lay her hands on Mo Zhu, so she had gathered detailed information about Mo Zhu and designed today’s plot.
The boy carefully recalled the woman’s actions and expression when she handed the gift to Chen Man just now. He nodded again and answered, “It shouldn’t be wrong. That woman even agreed to hand over the gift. She’s quite gentle too. She has the aura of a rich family.”
A glint flashed across her eyes. Du Wei waved at the boy and said, “Alright, since it’s done, I’ll transfer the money to your card later. You can go home first.”
As long as she was sure that she did not give it to the wrong person, with Qin Ya’s personality, Mo Zhu would definitely get scolded by her when she returned home. Maybe Qin Ya was holding in her anger because of her pride and wanted to go home to vent it…
Thinking of this, Du Wei felt even more pleased with herself. This small trick was the first move she had used to deal with Mo Zhu. She would just let Mo Zhu be ready and wait patiently for the rest. Sooner or later, she would let this arrogant girl know that she, Du Wei, was not someone to be trifled with!
Just as Du Wei sent the boy who had given Chen Man a gift away, the desks of Class Eight were almost filled with parents who had come to the meeting.
Li Xiao looked at the parents who were chatting and cleared his throat. He said, “Parents, please take a look at the test papers and result slips of your children which had just been handed out on the tables. In five minutes, our parent-teacher conference will officially start.”
Just as Li Xiao finished speaking, the sharp sound of high heels came from the door. Then, a beautiful woman walked in.
The person who came was Qin Ya. She had found Mo Zhu’s seat from the seating arrangement pasted outside the door. Now that she had entered Class Eight, the woman walked straight towards Chen Man.
“Hello, Madam. Are you in the wrong seat? The seat arrangement states that you are sitting in my daughter’s seat.”
Qin Ya saw that Chen Man was sitting comfortably with an extraordinary aura around her. She reckoned that some rich lady had accidentally taken the wrong seat, so she spoke politely.
When Chen Man heard this, she looked up and met Qin Ya’s eyes. She crossed her arms and placed them on the table. “I didn’t sit in the wrong seat.”
Due to Chen Man’s different makeup today, Qin Ya did not recognize her face immediately.
However, it was different for Chen Man. Previously, when the Fang family took the initiative to propose a marriage with the Huo family, she had already investigated the background of everyone in the Fang family.
She would definitely not be nice to a woman like Qin Ya, who abandoned her own daughter for money and power!
