Chapter 567: This Makes No Sense

Looking at Xiaofeixia’s smile, Zhou Yaling appeared thoughtful.

Although her brother often tricks her, he is always reliable in his actions. Since he specifically asked them to get off here, he must have his reasons.

"Let’s go, we’re getting off." Zhou Yaling gently patted Candy on the shoulder, stopped hesitating, and took the lead to open the car door and get out.

Candy, with empty hands, pouted but followed out of the car.

Before they even reached the kindergarten, Zhou Yaling noticed that they were encountering many parents and children along the way.

The children varied in age.

At that moment, Zhou Yaling felt much more at ease.

It seemed that all classes were having a parent-teacher meeting.

It wasn’t just Candy’s class, so everything was fine.

Holding Candy’s right hand, Zhou Yaling walked into the classroom with a stiff smile.

So many people, why are they all looking at her?

Candy glanced calmly and pulled her sister directly towards her seat.

Meanwhile, at home, Mo Jingchun was munching on a bag of original flavor sunflower seeds he found somewhere.

Tea, sunflower seeds.

Seated on the sofa, Mo Jingchun was focused on watching the scene under surveillance while eating sunflower seeds.

After witnessing Zhou Yaling’s forced smile, Mo Jingchun burst into laughter.

Before nine o’clock, all the children and parents had arrived.

The teacher, seeing everyone was present, began to speak directly.

The show was about to begin!

"Good morning, parents and children."

"With the holiday approaching, for the children’s safety and to let you understand your children’s situation at school, the kindergarten specially organized this parent-teacher meeting."

Mo Jingchun didn’t know how many times he had heard the next words the teacher said.

It was nothing more than emphasizing various safety issues.

Clearly, it was just those few safety points, yet the teacher spent an hour babbling on.

Mo Jingchun’s mouth was dry from eating sunflower seeds, and the teacher hadn’t yet touched on the topics Mo Jingchun wanted to hear.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of a group of parents and children, the teacher took a stack of certificates from the bag with a beaming smile.

Yes, it was a thick stack, at that.

"Next, the children whose names are called will come up to receive their certificates for this term."

"Zhu Kejin, Five-Star Kid."

"Wang Lebin, ..."

...

"Mo Xiaoxue, Five-Star Kid, Outstanding Class Leader, Team Player."

...

Seeing that almost every child had at least one certificate, Mo Jingchun was dumbfounded.

The principal of this kindergarten was truly something, ensuring everyone got at least one certificate, attending to relationships like no other.

He thought it was something major, but it turned out to be just this?

This was not a parent-teacher meeting; it was clearly a disguised award ceremony.

If he had known, Mo Jingchun would have gone himself.

Listening to the teacher’s praise for Candy, even through the screen, Mo Jingchun felt very pleased inside.

After all, the better Candy performed, the more it showed his excellent guidance.

However, come to think of it, this didn’t make sense!

As her brother, wouldn’t he know what his sister is like?

Otherwise, why would he let Zhou Yaling attend the parent-teacher meeting?

Even Candy thought so.

Instantly, Mo Jingchun felt that things weren’t over.

As it turned out, Mo Jingchun’s foresight was accurate.

After the award ceremony, the parents of six children were asked to stay behind.

The list included Candy.

In the second class of the kindergarten, Zhou Yaling’s face was as dark as a pot.

See, things aren’t that simple.

With all the honors, why wouldn’t her brother want to come?

Her brother must have known something in advance.

Thinking this, Zhou Yaling glanced resentfully at the innocent-looking Candy.

Even at this moment, still pretending to be innocent.

Thinking it over, Zhou Yaling figured it was most likely related to that so-called little brother; otherwise, she couldn’t think of what other mischief Candy could have gotten into at kindergarten.

Surely not causing trouble in class?

Zhou Yaling believed, given Candy’s cleverness, she wouldn’t make trouble in class.

For one, Candy always showed respect to elders, and secondly, if she did that, Candy would surely know she’d be in for a beating at home, possibly a combination from her brother and sister.

A few minutes later, only six parents with very complex expressions were left in the classroom, along with six bewildered, clueless children.

The teacher began calling each parent and child one by one to talk privately outside the classroom.

The first one, although Zhou Yaling didn’t hear clearly, she caught two critical words.

"Fighting."

The second, the third...

All were about issues the children had at kindergarten.

At that point, Zhou Yaling’s expression started to sour.

Observant Candy, while Zhou Yaling wasn’t paying attention, had already stepped back several paces away.

Hmm? Glancing back at Candy, Zhou Yaling raised her eyebrows.

"Why are you standing so far away? Afraid your sister will give you a good hug?"

Candy displayed a politely awkward smile.

Unknowingly, the first five parents had all been called away, leaving only Zhou Yaling and Candy.

At that moment, the teacher stopped calling out and instead walked in with a smile.

"Are you Candy’s sister?"

Zhou Yaling nodded, "Yes, teacher."

Hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yaling said under Candy’s astonished gaze, "Teacher, if Candy made any mistakes at kindergarten, just say it. When we get home, I’ll have my brother give her a good beating; don’t worry, I won’t intervene."

Is this her sister? Candy rubbed her eyes, as if seeing her sister’s true nature for the first time.

Li, the teacher, was momentarily stunned, then smiled.

"You misunderstood. Candy performed exceptionally well at kindergarten this year; she even helped the teachers deal with a troublemaker. If it weren’t for Candy, we teachers wouldn’t know how to manage that mischievous little guy."

At this, Li chuckled, "As you know, since it’s an employee’s child, no matter what, we can’t just expel him from the kindergarten."

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yaling asked in surprise:

"Teacher, are you talking about that Wang Haoran?"

"Yes."

Perplexed, Zhou Yaling glanced back at Candy and immediately laughed.

That child looked up with an air of arrogance.

Her face was full of "Praise me, praise me."

At this moment, sitting on the sofa, Mo Jingchun kept muttering the same phrase.

"This is not scientific."

"This is not scientific."

...

Unlike the oppressive atmosphere on the way there, Candy laughed so hard she trembled on the way back.

In her hand, she clutched four certificates, afraid someone might snatch them away.

In the living room, Candy held up a certificate with one hand, e xuberantly reaching out towards her brother.

"Brother, money in one hand, goods in the other!"

Realizing his oversight, Mo Jingchun had the money ready when the teacher handed out the certificate.

Under Mo Jingchun’s reluctant gaze, Candy took four red bills and dashed upstairs.

On the third floor, Candy lay at the door for a moment to ensure her brother and sister hadn’t come up yet before retrieving the Little Golden Pig hidden under the bed.

Slipping the four bills into the Little Golden Pig, Candy carefully put it back where it was hidden.
