Chapter 224: "I wagered on you." (1)

Another chime came in at this moment.

Gu Shao, too, had finally received the parents communication from the class teacher of Class #7 in the parents chat group.

[Class teacher: Hi fellow parents. The parent-teacher conference for this month was set for 2 PM next Monday. Please be there on time. Please contact me privately if you will not be able to make it. And, I want to ask you to not send over grandparents or older siblings in your place.]

The class teacher had just sent over the message when a string of [Parents of Xiao Xi got it] appeared on the bottom of it.

Gu Shao was just about to post the same when he saw a private message from the class teacher.

The class teacher was very polite in the private message. [Pardon me, Professor Gu, for contacting you so late in time. Have you had a chance to look at the message that I had just sent out?]

[Gu Shao: Yes, I have.]

[Class teacher: Oh good. Can you please let me know whether you will be able to make it on the day of then?]

Naturally, the class teacher wished for Gu Shao to be there. That being said, she was aware that Professor Gu was a very busy individual and just might not be able to make it.

Gu Shao replied without hesitation. [Yes, I have time. That wont be a problem.]

[Class teacher: Oh good.]

The class teacher sent over another message: [Gu Xi did very well during the monthly examinations this time!]

The class teachers excitement even came through her words.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

A hint of smile crossed Gu Shaos eyes when he read that.

He replied politely. [Thank you for all your help, Teacher.]

Gu Shao looked back at the two men in front of him after he had put down his cellphone. He had wanted to ask them So how did your kids do in the examinations? but finally decided against it.

[I, I, I]

This time, the wagers for both Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Xi were comparable as were their payouts.

As such, the topic had quickly turned into which one of them would win in the end.

Gu Xi looked at it for a little while and went on to something else.

She refused to admit that she, too, as a little bit nervous.

***

That night, as much as Old Mr. Gu had tried to have them stayed, Gu Shao still took Gu Xi home with him.

They really didnt think he knew that Gu Yanlin and others brought her back milk tea in the middle of the night the last time that Gu Xi had stayed over?

Gu Shao decided to take Gu Xi home with him to keep her away from junk food.

Gu Shao returned to his study after they had gotten home, and Gu Xi returned to her own room.

Even though the two were not together, the father and daughter were doing more or less the exact same thing.

Inside her room, Gu Xi pulled out her rainy day fund notebook and carefully made an entry for the money that she had deposited today.

She had received the capital of 50,000 yuan from Gu Shao for their Youth Innovation Competition topic plus some pocket money.

She received 2,000 yuan prize money from the schools Joint Science Competition.

She received 151 yuan from red envelopes from Grandpa, minus the process fee of 52.2 yuan.

Gu Xi jotted them all down, confirmed twice that everything looked good before she closed up her accounting book and placed it back inside the drawer.
