Chapter 172: Asking for A Lesson (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Regarding the matter of the lights being turned off maliciously when she went to the toilet last night, Lu Qianling had yet to find the mastermind, and then she was teased again this morning.
What had happened was that they had to hand in their English homework this morning. The class representatives had to collect their homework one by one, and Lu Qianling had clearly handed in her homework. She did not know why it was not received even though she handed it in.
When the English teacher came to look for her, not only did Lu Qianling explain what had happened to the teacher, but she also went to ask the class representative. In the end, the class representative actually said that she did not see her homework.
It was precisely because her account of the situation was different from the class representative’s that the teacher’s expression immediately changed. She felt that she was lying and even asked her to hand in her homework.
Lu Qianling told Meng Chuyuan what had happened. The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. “I’m not lying. I’ve already handed in my homework, and she still wants me to hand it in. Hand it in my ass.”
What made Lu Qianling the most angry was that the teacher was biased towards her class representative. She even felt that Lu Qianling was quibbling without doing her homework.
Because of this, she quarreled with the English teacher in the afternoon. Then, she was called to stand outside as punishment, unable to even attend the class. The teacher even said that she was going to find time to talk to her parents.
“What about your homework?” Meng Chuyuan was a little curious. “Have you found it?”
Lu Qianling was so anxious that she almost roared. “I’m sure and certain that I handed it to her.”
She only found out that she had an English composition to write when she arrived at school in the morning. Just as the morning reading was about to end, she started writing it.
Coincidentally, the class representative rushed to her. In order to meet the word count, Lu Qianling forced herself to write a few more sentences. After she finished writing them, she did not even have time to check her work before handing it over.
Lu Qianling thought that she could find the class representative to prove that she had handed in her homework, but in the end, she was defeated by the other
PdLLY.
After today’s incident, Lu Qianling felt quite upset.
It was one thing for her classmates to treat her like that, but even the teacher didn’t trust her either.
Madam Lu asked, “Could it have been left on the desk of your class representative?”
“Mom, how could you just miss the point of everything I’ve just said? She was the one who rushed me to collect my homework this morning. Yet after meeting the teacher, she said that she didn’t see my homework. She’s the one who’s lying, okay?”
Lu Qianling had really placed her hopes on the class representative for a moment, but who knew that she would be treated like this in the end? Even the teacher felt that she was not telling the truth.
Meng Chuyuan asked, “There are so many students in your class. Is there no one who can testify for you?”
“Yes, I asked my deskmate to help me explain what had happened because both of us saw the class representative come to collect my homework. After my deskmate finished testifying, the class representative changed her words and said that she might have forgotten my work after collecting so many pieces of homework. If she had forgotten, why didn’t she tell me about it when I went to look for her?”
If the class representative had said that she had forgotten from the start, Lu Qianling would not have been so angry.
When Lu Qianling was suspected by the teacher that she had not handed in her homework, she was a little irritable and her attitude was relatively bad. Later on, the class representative changed her words and said that she had forgotten her work, but she did not manage to restore her image.
Madam Lu said, “This isn’t a big deal. Why are you fighting the teacher because of this?”
She said angrily, “I don’t care. As a teacher, she still has the cheek to be so biased. Just because that student was her class representative and the top students, she treats me like this? So what if my results are a little bad? I’m still her student. Why should she only listen to one side of the story?”
In the eyes of others, this might not be a big deal, but to Lu Qianling, it was not as simple as a misunderstanding.
Moreover, Lu Qianling felt that it was really hard for her to accept that her teacher allowed her own emotions to get in the way when she was handling the problem.
Meng Chuyuan said calmly, “Since the homework is not in your hands and your class representative’s account of the situation is very vague, this homework can’t have disappeared into thin air. Therefore, we have to find the homework first before talking to the teacher.”
“If I don’t look for it, she will definitely think that I’m hiding it somewhere.” Through this, Lu Qianling also knew that her teacher didn’t like her, so it definitely didn’t matter where her exercise book was now.
Meng Chuyuan said, “I have nothing to do tomorrow. I’ll accompany you to
SCIIUUI.
“What are you going to do? Are you asking for a lesson too?” Hearing that Meng Chuyuan wanted to go to school with her to find a teacher, Lu Qianling was unhappy. “The teachers in school like to make a mountain out of a molehill. Even I can easily tolerate this level of aggrievement, and yet she wants to talk to my parents about it.”
“But you still did disobey the teacher. We should apologize and see how this matter can be resolved.”
Lu Qianling: “But she doubted my character and didn’t apologize to me either.”
There was only one situation where she did not hand in her homework倔 that was when she did not know what the homework was. She could not hand in her homework when it was completely undone, but she would obediently hand it in later after completing it.
Therefore, she had nothing to lie about.
“As long as your attitude is better tomorrow and you sincerely apologize to the teacher, I’ll get her to apologize to you, okay?”
Meng Chuyuan felt that both sides were at fault.
However, as a student, Lu Qianling was the one who defied the teacher first. This was indeed not right, but the teacher had also caused psychological trauma to the child for not understanding the situation clearly.
If this matter was not resolved, it would be like a thorn that Lu Qianling would remember for the rest of her life.
The next morning, Meng Chuyuan woke Lu Qianling up and asked her to go to school as usual.
Lu Qianling did not seem to have any intention of going to school. She was also unwilling to get up from the bed at this hour.
Meng Chuyuan knocked on her door. “Are you awake? Otherwise, you’ll be late.”
“No.” She happened to have English class today, and she didn’t want to attend it at all.
“After what you did yesterday, the entire class knows what has happened. If you don’t go to class today, it’ll look like you’re not confident in your actions yesterday and it’ll seem like you’re afraid to face the teacher because you’re guilty, you understand?”
Lu Qianling’s body was hidden under the blanket. After hearing Meng Chuyuan’s words, she hesitated slightly.
Some of the students might not know what had happened yesterday, but of course, there were also people who wanted to see her make a fool of herself. She had caused a scene yesterday. If she did not appear today, she would become a joke.
She thought about it carefully and finally got up from the bed. She quickly washed up and changed her clothes before coming out with her bag.
Lu Qianling came out of the bedroom and saw Meng Chuyuan waiting for her in the corridor.
“Who dares say that I don’t have the confidence to back my actions and that I’m feeling guilty? I’ve already done my homework, why would I be afraid of them slandering me?” Lu Qianling carried her school bag and immediately put on a positive look.
Meng Chuyuan nodded in satisfaction at her performance today and smiled. “That’s more like it.”
When she arrived downstairs, Madam Lu was already dressed and eating breakfast in the dining room.
“Mom, why are you up so early?” Lu Qianling was a little surprised when she saw her mother.
Madam Lu took a sip of milk and said helplessly, “I have no choice. I still have to go to the company today.”
Secretary Zheng instructed her to meet an important client today and asked Madam Lu to be there on time. Otherwise, there would be no one to sign the contract with the client later.
If not for Meng Chuyuan accompanying Lu Qianling to school, this glorious mission might not have landed on Madam Lu.
Lu Qianling said bluntly, “We’re in the same boat. I still have to go to school..”
