Chapter 218: Chapter 211: She Must Attend Remedial Classes
So when Tang Zhinian was about to leave, even after countless reminders and instructions, he still couldn’t help but feel anxious. However, phone calls were made daily, in which he, like a nagging mother, would inquire about the exact time her daughter woke up today, what she had for breakfast and lunch.
Several days later, perhaps realizing that his daughter was very capable and took good care of herself, he began to focus on his work and no longer worrying about Tang Yuxin.
The day before the summer vacation ended, Zhang Xiangcao finally returned. She wore a very stylish long-sleeved dress, and her hair was styled into slight curls, looking fashionable and attractive. Even Sisi’s hair was cut into a cute bobbed style, but Tang Yuxin was saddened by it.
Such beautiful long hair was all cut off.
Sisi shook her short hair, “Sister, it looks good.”
“Yes, it looks good,” Tang Yuxin stroked her sister’s head, “You are going to be graded up once you start school, you are growing up.”
Sisi hugged her mother’s leg shyly, as if she was quite afraid of growing up.
Upon Zhang Xiangcao’s return, she naturally took care of the children, allowing Tang Zhinian to genuinely reassure. After all, leaving Tang Yuxin alone at home, he could never be at ease.
When Tang Yuxin entered the ninth grade, her studies suddenly become strenuous, with more class hours and heavier coursework. Fortunately, they had previewed the ninth-grade course during the summer vacation. Therefore, while getting used to the new courses, they did well since they had a certain foundation. Thus, they could still keep up even though the workload was heavier. Of course, it was relatively easier.
During the assessment exams, their grades were consistently good, while Wei Jiani had unfortunately fallen far behind. She had slipped from initial fifth place to eleventh and now was ranked in the twenties among all the students.
The teachers had consulted with her several times, but by this point, the girl was starting to struggle. If it wasn’t for Tang Yuxin, Xu Miaomiao, and Chen Lidong who had previewed the courses during the summer, they too would have been in a similar situation. In the ninth grade, it seemed that everyone began to have difficulty keeping up.
Especially in the second half of the semester, they started having daily assignments copying exercises. It was almost one large blackboard full of exercises, jumping from math to chemistry, and then to physics.
The blackboard in the back originally was used for bulletin boards, but now it was filled with various questions, which were so numerous that people even got headaches copying them.
“You need anything?” Tang Yuxin asked again. She had to review her homework in the classroom in a while and had no time to engage in a staring contest with Sang Zhilan.
“Tang Yuxin, how did your father teach you? Is this how you talk to your mother?”
“I don’t have a mother,” The two words Tang Yuxin disliked the most were “mother”. And because of these two words, in her last life, she lived an incredibly hard life, a hardship that ultimately implicated her father.
If such a self-serving mother, who cared little for her situation, was telling her to do something, what did this woman want?
“Tang Yuxin, I am your mother,” Sang Zhilan nearly burst into tears of rage. She also wanted to rush forward and scratch Tang Yuxin’s face. She wished she had strangled the girl when she was first born since she was indifferent to everything, and always seemed to know how to exasperate her.
Tang Yuxin pursed her lips tightly, unwilling to argue about this matter with her, because it was useless and unnecessary.
Yes, Sang Zhilan was her biological mother, she admitted that.
However, she was not obliged to acknowledge this mother.
Whoever Sang Zhilan claimed to be the mother of didn’t matter, as long as she was clear in her heart. Some people who couldn’t be reckoned with, no one could do anything about it. Nobody could manipulate her life in this life, ruin her life, or take advantage of her life.
Sang Zhilan seemed to be so angry she couldn’t speak. At this time, the cold and hard attitude of Tang Yuxin made her feel that she was such a failure in life that she couldn’t even educate her own daughter properly.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. Hadn’t she forgotten what she had come here for? She didn’t come to argue with Tang Yuxin, nor to let Tang Yuxin infuriate her.
“Nini’s studies have not been going well recently. Aren’t you tutoring others? I want you to tutor Nini. She is your sister.”
At this moment, Tang Yuxin felt it was somewhat ridiculous.
When she needed her, she asked her to tutor her own illegitimate daughter.
When she didn’t need her, they stayed away from each other and had nothing to do with each other forever.
