Once the call was picked up, Li Xiao straightened his expression and asked seriously, “Is this Mo Zhu’s mother?”
Chen Man cleared her throat and frowned slightly. “Mr. Li, isn’t it the weekend today? Why did you call suddenly? Did something happen to Mo Zhu?”
Upon hearing that Chen Man had misunderstood his intentions, Li Xiao immediately explained anxiously, “No, no. Mo Zhu has always performed quite well in school. I took the liberty to call you this time because of something else.”
“As you know, your child is facing the college entrance examination now and she is under much pressure from her studies. In recent days, Country H has specially organized a Mathematics Olympiad for the graduating students. Not only are there bonuses set for the competition, but the winners also
stand a chance of getting a recommendation spot from Beijing University.”
After a pause, seeing that Chen Man did not speak, Li Xiao continued, “Although Mo Zhu came to Class Eight as a transfer student, her grades are very good in all aspects. She had also signed up for the Mathematics competition this time. I think that since your child doesn’t stay in school to study and has
been studying at home, if it’s convenient for you, please supervise her studies at home.”
‘When Chen Man heard this, she acutely captured the deep meaning behind Li Xiao’s words. She raised her eyebrows and asked in disbelief, “Mr. Li, is the student with outstanding grades our Mo Zhu?”
After saying this, without waiting for a reply from the other end of the phone, Chen Man continued asking, “Teacher Li, it’s not that I don’t believe in our Mo Zhu, but with her personality, she really isn’t a child who would take the initiative to sign up for such competitions. Do you think there’s a mistake
on your end?”
When he heard Chen Man question Mo Zhu’s results, Li Xiao was unhappy. He put on a cold tone and replied with slight displeasure, “Mo Zhu’s mother, although the competition is strict this time and students winning the award in the Mathematics competition is not high, you can’t distrust your child’s
ability like this. Mo Zhu’s grades have really improved a lot in school recently. I believe that as long as she revises diligently, it will not be difficult for her to enter the finals!”
Chen Man’s phone speaker had been playing out loudly. Now that her friends sitting around had roughly heard their conversation, she smiled awkwardly and echoed softly, “Alright, Mr. Li. Since you’ve said so, as Mo Zhu’s parent, I will definitely supervise the child’s revision seriously.”
Although she did not know why Mr. Li said that, since the teacher had personally asked, it was enough to prove that Mo Zhu’s results had really improved very quickly. Chen Man was really happy for the child.
Seeing that Chen Man agreed, Li Xiao told her about the after class teaching session worriedly.
After receiving a definite answer, he hung up with a satisfied expression.
The people who were invited to the Huo family’s house by Chen Man today were all Madams of rich families who were familiar with her. Now that she had hung up, they all went up to her and asked with concern, “Did the teacher call you? Is it about your daughter-in-law who is still in high school?”
As they had a good relationship with Chen Man, everyone had watched Huo Xuan grow up. Everyone knew that Huo Xuan had long graduated and taken over the Huo family’s business. During this period of time, they had naturally heard a lot about Mo Zhu. Therefore, when they heard the woman address
the person on the phone as Mr. Li, they instantly thought about this matter.
‘When Chen Man heard this, she nodded and replied, “That’s right. She’s my daughter-in-law’s form teacher.”

After saying this, Chen Man knew that everyone wanted to know what it was about. She did not hide it and immediately explained in detail, “Mr. Li said that my daughter-in-law had signed up for a national Mathematics competition and asked me to supervise her revision when I’m free at home.”
After a pause, Chen Man recalled the report card she had seen when she went to participate in the parent-teacher meeting for Mo Zhu. She frowned again and said with a worried expression, “But my daughter-in-law’s results are really not very good. I really don’t know how the teacher took a liking to her
results. She had just passed her Mathematics examination last time. Can she participate in the national competition with her standard?”
She actually didn’t have much expectations for Mo Zhu. Ever since she brought the girl to the Huo family, Chen Man only hoped that she could live happily every day. She even thought that if Mo Zhu didn’t get into a good university after graduating from high school, the Huo family would find a private
school with a good reputation overseas for the girl to study in. At most, she would have to spend more money but that wouldn’t be a problem for the Huo family.
“Xiao Man, don’t worry too much. Since her teacher has already said so, he definitely has some confidence.. If you’re worried, why don’t you find a few more good teachers in Beijing and bring them to Cloud City to tutor the child well? Isn’t it said that sharpening the spear at the last minute brings out the
light?”
