After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

Chapter 66  Parent-Teacher Meeting? Home Visit?

"Is there anything?"

Huo Jinyan interrupted her as she was sizing him up.

Lu Ning looked at him and nodded. "Yes, I wanted to thank you. I heard from my father that you helped me when I fainted.

"Thank you, Teacher Huo.

"And for the school uniform last time, the money for a new school uniform…"

She was interrupted before she could finish.

"It's fine."

Lu Ning dropped the formalities and nodded.

"Is that all?"

Being questioned like this really made her feel like she was being interrogated. No wonder everyone was afraid of him.

"One more thing. Your lectures are too fast, we can't keep up. Can you speak slower next time?"

Lu Ning looked at him sincerely.

Huo Jinyan: "Is this the reason for your grades?"

Lu Ning: "…?"

Why did the conversation become about me?

Huo Jinyan looked at her dumbfounded expression. "If I speak slower, will you be able to understand me?"

Huo Jinyan looked at her grimly. "Is that so?"

Lu Ning: "… Yes?"

Lu Ning: "?"

This question…

"I think so."

Huo Jinyan turned to look at her, his gaze domineering and unnerving.

Lu Ning immediately replied, "Yes!"

Huo Jinyan said, "Your grades had better improve."

He moved and rapped his pen on the stack of papers on his desk.

It was a stack of test papers, and the red marks on them were very eye-catching.

Lu Ning took a look.

"…"

Her name was written at the top of the test paper. Beside her name was a conspicuous '0'.

Although…

But…

She had thought nothing of it before, so why did she feel that she really should not have done this in front of Huo Jinyan?

"Ahem… Teacher Huo, hard work doesn't always pay off."

Huo Jinyan looked at her grimly. "Is that so?"

Lu Ning: "… Yes?"

"When I met you previously, I remember Old Master Lù saying he had brought you overseas. Is your English really that bad, or…"

He did not finish his sentence, but the implications behind it were self-evident.

Lu Ning continued to quibble. "There's a difference between speaking it overseas and doing test questions."

Huo Jinyan said, "Looks like there's also a difference between being a young lady and being a student. I didn't realize you were so… eloquent in the past."

His words were laced with sarcasm. Lu Ning watched him and swallowed her anger.

"I need to see your parents."

Lu Ning was stunned. "Huh?"

Huo Jinyan looked at her. "A home visit is fine too."

Lu Ning: "?"

Huo Jinyan pretended not to notice her expression. "I'm fine with either."

Lu Ning: "… Let's not, Teacher Huo. I'll do my best next time."

"Next time?"

Huo Jinyan's voice rose at the end.

Lu Ning: "Then… this time?"

This person's really hard to please.

However, exams just finished so there won't be any more tests for the time being, right?

Huo Jinyan took out a new test paper and slapped it on the table.

"Alright, just this once."

Lu Ning: ???

She stared at the papers on the table in shock.

Where'd he pull that out from?!

Huo Jinyan calmly found a pen and placed it atop the paper.

"…"

How conniving.

"There's a chair in the back."

Lu Ning pursed her lips, turned around, took the chair, and sat beside Huo Jinyan.

The speechlessness in her heart reflected on her face.

Huo Jinyan glanced at his wrist.

"You have nine minutes."

"…"

Lu Ning picked up her pen in silence and started on the questions.

You're really something, Teacher Huo.

It was almost time for class, and the teachers returned to the office one after another. When they saw Lu Ning, they were puzzled.

The teacher sitting opposite Huo Jinyan caught Lu Ning's gaze and checked the time.

"Teacher Huo, there's only two minutes left before class starts. Let the student go back to class."

After saying that, she looked at Lu Ning. "Lu Ning, go to class."

Lu Ning instantly stood up. "Yes, Teacher."

She quickly put the chair back and turned to leave.
