Chapter 1037: Do You Mind If I Attend The Wedding?

Although Yun Jian was Yun Zhu’s elder sister, she was considered a semi-parent to the boy.

The school had a database where it kept records of the students’ families and Ms. Lu had looked down on little Yun Zhu because she espied that the boy was adopted by Yun Jian’s family. Moreover, Yun Jian was dressed plainly and did not look like how someone from a wealthy family would seem.

It was due to these clues that Ms. Lu did not have much regard for the siblings in the beginning. She had even scoffed at both of them in her mind, ‘What façade are you trying to keep up when you’re poor? What’s there to be proud of?’

Until she found out about Yun Jian’s status, Ms. Lu’s attitude completely flipped around. She had even thought of giving Yun Zhu the excellence award at the end of the semester as an exchange to grovel to Yun Jian.

It was unfortunate that Yun Jian did not even care. What she said just now pointed out Ms. Lu’s hypocrisy as well.

The teacher had encountered parents who rejected her “kind offer” in the past too but not someone like Yun Jian. The girl called her a hypocrite indirectly while she declined the award.

Seeing that Yun Jian was about to leave with her friends, Ms. Lu grew anxious and quickly yelled, “Yun Zhu’s sister, uh, I heard from Yun Zhu that he’s taking a day off from school next Monday, correct?”

Ms. Lu’s holler finally caught Yun Jian’s attention. The latter narrowed her eyes and turned around, leveling her gaze properly at the teacher for the first time, and answered, “Yes.”

Now that Yun Jian’s attention was on her, Ms. Lu quickly added. “Signatures from parents are required for students who applied for days off but since we’ve met today, we can skip this.”

It was Friday today, where little Yun Zhu had gone to Ms. Lu in the morning to verbally inform her that he was taking a day off from school since Qin Yirou’s wedding was on the coming Monday.

It was only near noon now. Ms. Lu had left the school to take a bus to the nearby market for groceries shopping as she had no lessons in the morning, planning to return to school after that and make lunch in her teacher’s accommodation.

She thought that it was fated that she bumped into Yun Jian here!

Another bootlicking statement… Yun Jian chortled sarcastically.

“Thank you, then.” Yun Jian wore a straight face, the blank expression making Ms. Lu’s heart lurch.

“I’ll leave now if there’s nothing urgent. I’m in a rush,” Yun Jian stated blandly and turned away. Diane and the other two followed her naturally like they were her bodyguards.

Ms. Lu was perplexed at the sight but seeing that Yun Jian was really leaving, she stopped her again. “Yun Zhu’s sister, is your mother getting married next Monday?”

Students who applied for a leave from their teachers were required to give their reasons. Otherwise, the teachers would not approve it; some might even berate the students condescendingly that this was their trick to skip school.

Hence, Yun Zhu who applied for the leave from Ms. Lu had gotten the habit of stating his reason immediately after the application lest his teacher misunderstood that he had done it for truancy.

“Yes.” Yun Jian did not turn around this time, tilting herself a little to side-eye Ms. Lu.

“Ah, hah, I see. It’s coincidence that I don’t have class the entire Monday. Would you mind me attending the wedding, Yun Zhu’s sister?” Ms. Lu asked shamelessly.

Her question without shame was laced with the tone of “you shouldn’t be refusing as I’m the teacher”.
