Chapter 682: Chapter 682: Events of the Past (7)_1

In the evening, Shu Jiao came to pick them up again with Ruan Jianguo.

Like yesterday, it was Hu Lanzhi and Little Fatty who saw them out, along with Ruan Feng and Lu Zishu.

Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao walk out by herself today, without being carried, Ruan Jianguo was very proud. He caught hold of her and praised her profusely; however, Jiaojiao had already grown accustomed to his awkward praise, and instead of becoming impatient, she waited for him to finish and then even gave him an additional smile.

Meanwhile, Shu Jiao was holding four bags in her hand, handing them to the teacher and three boys. The boys accepted them without any hesitation and sweetly thanked her.

When it was Hu Lanzhi’s turn to receive a bag, she immediately waved her hands, wanting to refuse, but before she could even speak, she heard Shu Jiao say, "On the way back, I casually bought some fruit. Teacher, please try them and see. If they’re good, we’ll plant some in our family’s farm next year. Next time, I hope Teacher Hu can give us some feedback."

With those words, Hu Lanzhi couldn’t possibly refuse and could only accept the gift with tremendous gratitude.

On this point, Hu Lanzhi had immense respect for Shu Jiao. Reflecting on her own attitude when Ruan Jiaojiao had come to report for the first time yesterday, she realized that it had not been good, yet Shu Jiao had not shown a hint of displeasure.

And today, she was even given fruit, without any hard feelings. As a parent, and as a teacher, Hu was truly ashamed.

Thinking of the events that had unfolded during the day, she felt it necessary to say something, so she briefly mentioned it.

When Shu Jiao heard the name "Qi Lian," her eyes turned cold.

On the way back, Ruan Jianguo noticed Shu Jiao’s silence and felt puzzled. He was just about to ask what had happened when he saw Shu Jiao turn back to look at Xiu Xi and ask, "Xiaoxi, what happened at school today? Tell Auntie in detail."

Xiu Xi nodded and recounted the events once again.

"Qi Weixin’s father, named Qi Lian, right? Your school’s vice-principal," Shu Jiao finally asked.

"Vice-principal? When we last visited, why didn’t we meet this vice-principal? Qi Lian..." Ruan Jianguo muttered, feeling that the name sounded familiar.

"Have I heard this name somewhere before, wife?" He turned to look at Shu Jiao.

Shu Jiao’s expression darkened as she let out a cold laugh.

Of course, she had heard it before.

Back when she was teaching at a primary school, the school had a few slots for teachers to be promoted to junior high teaching positions.

The salary for junior high was higher than that of primary school, so many were eager for the opportunity, but not everyone could be promoted. She earned her slot through an assessment.

At that time, Qi Lian’s wife, Huang Li, also underwent the assessment with her but did not pass. Yet with Qi Lian’s far-reaching influence, he took advantage of Shu Jiao’s maternity leave for the birth of Ruan Jie to push his wife into the position meant for Shu Jiao.

At that time, Shu Jiao was in a sensitive situation, an easy target for anyone who wanted to step on her, so she had no choice but to accept her fate in such matters.

She just never expected that after all these years, they would still cross paths.

And this Qi Lian, he was still as unscrupulous as ever.

Seeing Shu Jiao looking so troubled, Ruan Jianguo finally remembered who this person was. His expression was one of deep guilt, as back then, he was just a man tilling the fields, helpless in these matters, only able to watch as she was bullied. It was excruciating and frustrating; he even came close to taking a wrong turn by contemplating killing Qi Lian.
