Of course, Pu Guoqing wouldn’t say the latter part. But he had heard that the Xiao brothers doted on their sister. Now he knew it was true. He just called Xiao Jing, but the latter thought his sister was bullied and wanted to rush to the school. If Xiao Rou was really bullied, he doubted that Xiao Jing would bring down the whole school!
Xiao Jing was relieved to hear that Tang Xi was not bullied and calmed down. He slowly sat down and asked, “Okay, then who did my sister bully?” He sounded proud of his sister!
Pu Guoqing blinked. Why did he feel pride from Xiao Jing’s tone? So he was happy that his sister bullied others?
But in fact, Xiao Jing had a reason to feel this way. As far as he knew, those bullied by his sister were all badasses. Besides, once anyone bullied her, she would definitely fight back. For example, Tao Yan… she bullied Aunt, so she ended up being locked in jail, although she had been so old; Xiao Jinning, tut, her career was ruined and she was thrown into jail; and Lin Jiao, she had run away, but was still caught back by his sister. He wondered who was so emboldened as to mess up with his sister??
Pu Guoqing took a deep breath, and looked at the students who were looking at him, saying, “Well, Xiao Rou wanted to take for a week’s leave, from this Wednesday to the next Wednesday. You know, she is going to take the college entrance exam. Won’t it affect her grades for her to take a week-long leave at this critical time?”
Tang Xi frowned. As she expected, this Pu Guoqing was not easy to deal with! His words sounded reasonable! If Jing said Yes, she would be finished! Tang Xi secretly took out her phone and was about to send a message to Xiao Jing again, when she heard Xiao Jing asked angrily, “So you mean her grades is even more important than her health?”
Tang Xi put the phone back. She had sharp ears and heard clearly what they said on the line. She secretly gave her brother a thumbs-up. Jing was always so reliable!
Xiao Jing, not knowing at all that his sister was giving him a thumbs-up, guessed that it must be because Rourou was too tired that she asked for leave. Since her grades were already good, and she was a genius, a super genius, she didn’t have to go to school. She could just stay at home for rest. Nothing was more important than her health.
Pu Guoqing was speechless hearing Xiao Jing’s words. He said, “Well, Xiao Jing said she was going to Paris next week. I just called to confirm it with you.”
“Yes, I’ll take her there.” Xiao Jing pursed his lips and asked, “Anything else?”
Xiao Jing thought the class master must call him for some reason. Otherwise Rourou wouldn’t ask him to do this! Thinking of this, Xiao Jing took his cellphone, opened WeChat and read the message. Then he frowned, looked at Qiao Liang who had suspended the meeting, and wrote on a piece of paper, ‘Rourou wants to go to Paris. How shall I explain to her teacher?”
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and also wrote on a piece of paper. “Her class master?”
Xiao Jing nodded, and continued to write, ‘He is calling me. I guess he called because Rourou said she was going to Paris.”
Qiao Liang motioned Xiao Jing not to speak, and called Tang Xi.
Tang Xi was nervously listening to Pu Guoqing and Xiao Jing’s conversation. Hearing her cellphone ring, she hurriedly took her phone out and was about to hang it up, when she found this call was from Qiao Liang. At this time, the bell rang and the class was over. She chuckled to Pu Guoqing and explained, “My father called me.”
Pu Guoqing was asking Xiao Jing, “Why do you and your sister go to Paris?”
Tang Xi hurriedly picked up the phone. “Dad, I’m asking the teacher for leave, but he doesn’t believe that I’m going to Paris to see a doctor with Third Brother.”
Qiao Liang hurriedly wrote something on the paper. Seeing what he wrote, Xiao Jing said, “Haven’t my sister told you that?” He sounded angry. “My sister is in poor health, so I’ll take her to Paris for a physical exam. And my sister has good grades. I believe she won’t delay study. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to skip grades, right?”
Tang Xi was relieved to hear what Xiao Jing said on the line. She said, “Okay, Dad, I’ll explain to my teacher. Don’t worry. Yes, yes. My teacher is speaking to Third Brother on the phone. Okay, he will explain to my teacher. Okay, I’ll be home early after school.”
Qiao Liang actually remained silent on the phone. Hearing Tang Xi called him Dad and then hung up the phone, he raised his eyebrows and then burst into laughter.
Pu Guoqing hurriedly stopped the conversation because he didn’t want to hear Xiao Jing boasting of his sister, saying, “In this case, I’ll grant her a leave, but I hope she won’t delay study and can catch up with her classmates. You know, we won’t lecture what we’ve lectured to the students again.”
Xiao Jing said ‘Yes’ and added, “You can rest assured. My sister is even well qualified to be a university professor.”
Tang Xi was stunned by his boasting. Brother! Cut that crap!
Pu Guoqing laughed awkwardly and hung up the phone. He then looked at Tang Xi and said, “Since you brother has confirmed with me, I’ll grant you a week’s leave, but promise me that your grades won’t go down, okay?”
Tang Xi smiled and said sarcastically, “Mr. Pu, I’m glad you trust me. I won’t let you down.”
Pu Guoqing looked a bit embarrassed. He coughed, and waved his hand to beckon the student to take a break. The other students applauded for Tang Xi. She was really awesome! They knew Xiao Rou was mocking Mr. Pu who didn’t trust her and even called her family to make sure she was not lying to him.
Tang Xi smiled at the students and said, “Thank you.” And then she walked towards her seat expressionlessly. Peng Yu, sitting beside her, looked at her with a frown, and said coldly, “I don’t think we can be deskmates. Go find another seat. There are many unoccupied seats in the class. There are several desks available for you in the last row.”
