Chapter 1112: Chapter 1113: Such Thick Skin Chapter 1112: Chapter 1113: Such Thick Skin âChiang Xiao, Iâm not trying to criticize you, but we canât be like that as people. Letâs not even mention that the ones who owe a debt of gratitude is not you, but your grandfather. Even if you were the one who had shown kindness to them, do you know what truly outstanding moral character is? To bestow kindness without expecting repayment, thatâs what good morals are.â
Teacher Lin looked at her and said, âI know their family has power and influence, they live in a house youâve never lived in, and the food they eat is definitely better than what we have in the cafeteria. But Chiang Xiao, one canât have too much vanity, it will ruin you. The other party felt too embarrassed to tell you in person, so they called the school instead, requesting that the school force you to board, to prevent you from staying at their home.â
Chiang Xiao truly hadnât expected someone to come up with this method.
She pursed her lips, trying to suppress the rage burning inside her.
However, Teacher Lin mistook her silence for recalcitrance and her face grew stern, her tone heavier.
âOriginally, the real reason behind this decision wasnât going to be told to you, but I donât want you going down the wrong path, so I decided to tell you the truth. Chiang Xiao, as long as youâre clear about it, thatâs enough. Starting today, you must stay in the dormitory every night. I will have the dorm manager check on you every night for attendance. If itâs found that youâre not in the dorm even for one night, I will apply to the school to cancel your place at Elite Middle School and ask you to return to the school ahead of time.â
If that were the case, it could be said that Chiang Xiao was being punished. At Elite Middle School and at Huaming County No. 3 Middle School, her reputation would be tarnished.
People might think she had done something wrong and was expelled by Elite Middle School.
Chiang Xiao kept her lips tightly sealed, saying nothing.
âChiang Xiao, did you hear me?â Teacher Lin slammed the desk.
âTeacher Lin, is this the schoolâs decision, or your own decision?â
âMy decision represents the schoolâs decision! What, youâre actually planning to continue staying at their place? Chiang Xiao, for such a bright-looking child, how can you be so oblivious? Whatâs the point of being so thick-skinned?â
âThatâs my home,â Chiang Xiao said, word by word.
Meng Xinianâs home was her home.
Unless, Meng Xinian was no longer part of that family.
âHah, I really donât know what to say to you. Your surname is Chiang, that familyâs surname is Meng. Youâre from Huaming County, they are natives of the Capital City. You say itâs your home, who would believe that?â
Teacher Lin looked at Chiang Xiao, full of contempt.
âAlright, Iâve said my piece. Just remember it, thatâs all. You can go now. But remember, the day you donât stay at the school, I will send you back.â
Chiang Xiao turned and walked out.
Of course, she wasnât going to explain her connection with the Meng Family to such an irrelevant person, and she wasnât going to drag Meng Xinian into it.
But the person who made that phone call, she would definitely find them!
At noon, she arrived at the art institute and immersed herself in the paintings, not allowing herself to think about other distractions, she even forgot to eat.
Until Liu Guoying came looking for her.
âI guessed you would be here. Have you eaten?â
âNot yet.â
âCome on, have lunch with me. Your masterâs wife brought some food over, weâll eat in a small classroom at the art institute,â Liu Guoying said, gesturing outside.
Chiang Xiao followed him out, unable to suppress a laugh, âTeacher, I must say, youâve really gotten used to this place.â
âWhat do you mean, âgotten used toâ?â Liu Guoying glared at her, âBe careful with your words, donât give me that gangster vibe! Behave like a lady.â
