Would you like some?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Que took the bag from Jiang Cheng’s hand and brought her slippers to swap her high heels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she took off her high heels, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but let out a little groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, these high heels... they look nice, but wearing them is so exhausting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Que massaged Jiang Cheng’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does our President Jiang really need high heels to outshine others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t understand, the high feeling is different, and they do look good, make my legs look extra long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Que massaged Jiang Cheng’s calves, and after a while, went to get hot water for her to soak her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng lounged lazily on the sofa, her fingers touching Shen Que’s hair: \"That’s my carefully chosen husband for you, so good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Carefully chosen, you say? Who else did you choose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Que asked dangerously, and Jiang Cheng immediately showed a silly smile, feigning ignorance: \"Of course, it’s you.

Since they didn’t call her out by name, she pretended not to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at Jiang Cheng, the teacher thought: No wonder the child is like that, with parents like these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher finished the parents’ meeting with words full of implications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some parents quickly avoided the teacher, while others approached to chat, some with genuine concern, others with false promises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng had no intention of engaging, but she was called over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Parents of Shen Yue, please wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impatience flashed in Jiang Cheng’s eyes, considering transferring Shen Yue to another class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Shen Que worked hard outside, not for their child to be bullied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Que also approached, exchanging a glance with Jiang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two decided simultaneously to first listen to what this teacher had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang, the headteacher, after sending most parents away, directly approached Jiang Cheng and Shen Que, looking at them standing so close together, a hint of displeasure passed through her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many people, not paying attention to their influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Parents of Shen Yue, did you hear what I said earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Yang, you said a lot, not sure which sentence you’re referring to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng enquired, and Yang, sounding impatient, said: \"I mean the part about girls not focusing on their studies, always dressing up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng’s face instantly turned several degrees colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Yang, you’re fixating on a girl’s appearance, which is not something a teacher should do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you paid a bit more attention, you’d know my Shen Yue simply doesn’t have the knack for studying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng’s words made the parents who hadn’t left yet laugh uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After laughing, there was a deep sense of agreement because her son didn’t have the knack for studying either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng wasn’t finished yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Yang, it’s not that Shen Yue doesn’t work hard. She once wrestled with a simple linear equation for three hours and still didn’t solve it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And with reciting texts, every time she spends three or four times the normal time, but she always forgets the previous sentence when she remembers the next. I can’t even help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Yue really has tried, but she simply doesn’t have the talent for studying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, we don’t force her to excel academically. We just want her to be a happy, healthy, pretty, and independent girl. Is that wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng questioned, Teacher Yang’s face looking unpleasant as the other parents found solace in a newfound ally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She completely understood!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Parents of Shen Yue, is this how you parent? If your child isn’t doing well, you should help her improve, not ignore it, lack ambition, and dress her so–\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng abruptly interrupted, harsh and severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Yang, I advise you to watch your words!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-06-03T05:46:21.788Z",1,"novelbin.me","1bca02389aca9a7ef44f097144970bf48c7b8ddb3b38d35412bfd526077c0c2c","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-335","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-333",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-cover.jpg"]
