Chapter 400: Chapter 400 What are you freaking out about?

"Lu Siyuan, what’s gotten into you?"

A voice suddenly came through, and Lu Siyuan was startled. He turned around and saw Shen Mianmian and Chen Jie running over from the corridor below.

"Why have you only just arrived now?" Lu Siyuan was both happy and angry as he roared at Shen Mianmian.

Knowing he was really anxious, Shen Mianmian didn’t take offense. She explained casually, "My mom locked me up, and I had to break the door to get out."

Since the principal and Chen Jie both knew He Nan, she didn’t mention He Nan’s name for fear that they might misunderstand.

The principal felt a silent relief when he saw Shen Mianmian arrive, but his brow furrowed when he heard she had been locked up at home.

If Shen Mianmian didn’t take this exam, he would lose face the next time he saw other schools’ principals.

Besides, Shen Mianmian was a student who had caught the attention of the Education Bureau.

He had never mentioned this because he feared it might pressure her or make her arrogant.

Luckily, Shen Mianmian had always been impressive, and her academic performance was stable.

However, Shen Mianmian’s parents were quite foolish.

"I’ve always said that old witch is no good." Hearing that Shen Mianmian had been locked up, Lu Siyuan flew into a rage. Zhou Lanfang wasn’t even Mianmian’s real mother, and she was excessively harsh toward her, so he felt no need to show her respect.

If Zhou Lanfang were here, he probably wouldn’t be able to control himself from hitting her.

"Lu Siyuan, watch your behavior," the principal warned seriously, yet his tone carried no real blame.

Indeed, Zhou Lanfang had gone too far.

Lu Siyuan huffed in defiance but didn’t continue to make a racket. After all, it was good enough that Shen Mianmian had shown up.

"You go in and take the exam first. We can discuss these matters after you’re done," Chen Jie advised as he checked the time. There were only a few minutes left before the exam started, and fortunately, Shen Mianmian had appeared just in time.

"Mhm."

Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan nodded simultaneously, then went to find their seats and prepared for the exam.

Chen Jie glanced at the two of them and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Principal, I feel that Shen Mianmian’s parents have a serious problem with their mindset, possibly a severe preference for boys over girls. Even if Mianmian scores well, they might not let her attend high school. Should we visit their home after the middle school exams are over?"

Although Chen Jie was young, he knew that some things were not his place to intervene, he could only offer suggestions and ideas. In the end, the principal had to make the final decision.

"Mhm," the principal nodded, agreeing with Chen Jie’s suggestion and pleased with his tactful approach, "If Shen Mianmian’s performance is stable and she manages to score first in three subjects, we must talk to her parents."

Such academic excellence shouldn’t be wasted by not continuing her studies.

Over the years, there haven’t been many students who could consistently score first in three subjects.

Especially in English, where Shen Mianmian’s scores were higher than those of the English teacher, even some vocabulary had the teacher asking her for clarification.

How could the school allow such a promising student they had nurtured to be nipped in the bud?

And he wouldn’t have an explanation for the Education Bureau either!

Seeing his agreement, Chen Jie beamed, "Her studies have been very stable recently, scoring first in three subjects shouldn’t be a problem."

With this assurance, the principal nodded in satisfaction.

He was proud of this student, who had always done well in smaller exams. If she failed to perform in a major exam, he would lose all his credibility.
