The Young Matriarch

After the bell rang, Bai Chuwei ignored Teacher Li’s cold glances and calmly took out her phone from the drawer and pressed the answer button. “Hello?”

Just as Teacher Li was leaving with the lesson materials in hand, she saw Bai Chuwei and her expression darkened.

Even though the school forbade Year 3 students from bringing their phones to school, there were too many wealthy students and they could only close their eyes towards their behaviour. However, she had never seen such an arrogant student who answered her phone before the teacher had left the classroom!

Teacher Li snorted before leaving.

A man’s deep voice slowly sounded from the opposite end. “Miss Bai.”

Bai Chuwei never expected to receive a call from Duan Feihan at this time. Her fingers gently tapped on her phone and when she saw Duan Xingye’s surprised gaze, she made a guess. “Why is Mr Duan calling me at this time? Could it be… you’re afraid that I might change my mind?”

After all, the prescription was still in her hands.

Duan Feihan was silent for several seconds before he said slowly, “Miss Bai, I know what happened in school today. Be it in your studies or lifestyle, if you are in need of any assistance, I can help.”

Bai Chuwei was stunned for quite some time before she realized that he was referring to the clash between her and Deng Man.

Bai Chuwei could not help but sigh. “Mr Duan, you are a really kind and helpful person. Thank you for your offer, but I’ve already resolved that issue.”

Duan Xingye, who was seated nearby, thought his ears had failed him.

His fourth uncle was a kind and helpful person?

What the f*ck!

Everyone in the Duan Family knew that Duan Feihan hated trouble the most and his relationship with others was also the weakest.

Duan Xingye pondered for a moment but could not understand Duan Feihan’s actions. He could only assume it to be… the deep love between his uncle and his grandfather.

Duan Feihan sat before his office table and gazed at the cartoonish cup and slightly curled his lips. “I understand. See you after your lessons.”

Bai Chuwei, who had hung up the phone, sighed with myriads of emotions. Before the novel’s ultimate boss turned evil, he was really a kindhearted and nice man. To think that she had a slight prejudice towards villains.

With a cold expression, Teacher Li walked into the office on her high-heels and saw Teacher Huang sitting there.

Teacher Huang currently had a pair of glasses on and was grading the students’ homework.

Teacher Li said impatiently, “Teacher Huang, should we have that Bai Chuwei transfer to another class? Her results are too lackluster and she’s pulling down Class 9 with her!”

Teacher Huang chuckled and took off her glasses. “She has just arrived here. You ought to give her some time to adapt. Come and have a candy that Bai Chuwei gave me and calm down.”

Li Juan’s line of sight fell onto the white porcelain bottle on Teacher Huang’s table. When she reached out and opened the cap, a faint fragrance wafted from the bottle and caused her to swallow her saliva.

The milk-white candy immediately melted and the sweet fragrance flooded into her mouth. Teacher Li’s eyes brightened and she could not help but reach out for a few more candies from the porcelain bottle as she stuffed them all into her mouth.

Li Juan’s eyes curved into crescent moons. “This candy is really yummy, and it somewhat makes my stomach feel more comfortable.”

When she said that, she scoffed at the same time. “She doesn’t study hard and only knows how to give candies to teachers!”

As the bell just rang, the respective teachers returned to the office, one after another.

A young male teacher who had several books in his hand, saw Teacher Li leaning against Teacher Huang’s table and eating candies. His gaze froze and an expression of horror surfaced on his face. “Wait a minute, Teacher Li. The thing you have in your hand…”
