Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 440 - 381: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 21_2

"Madam..." This time, it was Su Zhiruan’s turn to be surprised.

She never intended to have Xie Family’s Madam pretend to be her parent and sign for her.

In fact, when she sent Xie Yanshang a message seeking his help with this matter, she did so with a try-it-and-see attitude, not actually believing Xie Yanshang would come to her parents’ meeting on her behalf.

He didn’t have that obligation after all, they had only met once.

Su Zhiruan just wanted to make an impression in front of him and perhaps gain some good impression points, but she hadn’t anticipated the unexpected turn of events: the Xie Family’s Madam actually offered to accompany her to school for the signature, which shocked Su Zhiruan immensely.

"You want to go to her parents’ meeting?" Xie Yanshang asked in disbelief. However, he didn’t show much reaction, just lightly nodded and said, "Alright, if you want to go, that’s fine."

Xie Family’s Madam was enthusiastic, her heart also filled with a bit of excitement.

"Don’t be afraid, Auntie is a good person, and in a moment, I’ll have Yanshang send you his WeChat contact."

Xie Family’s Madam had her own considerations.

Although her own son claimed the girl across the street was just a kid still in school, over the years, the Xie Family’s Madam knew her son best. If it were really just a kid or relatives from the Xie Family’s extended family, she had never seen him add any of them as contacts, but now, for a stranger who was a high school student, he had uncharacteristically added her contact, which was enough proof that he had some thoughts about the young lady, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so out of the ordinary.

While the age gap was somewhat significant — after all, Xie Yanshang had already graduated with a master’s degree a year ago, and the young lady was still in senior high —

Madam Xie didn’t want to let go of any opportunity, so after hanging up the phone, she asked Yanshang to open his WeChat and push the girl’s contact to her through a card share.

Su Zhiruan lay on her bed, looking at the new friend request that popped up on her phone, feeling a bit helpless.

She had never imagined that by simply looking for someone to sign for her, she would end up connecting with Xie Yanshang’s mother.

And his mother was too familiar, unexpectedly agreeing to replace her parents at school, despite the fact that they had no relation and even belonged to different, insurmountable social classes. Still, Madam Xie took the initiative to add her contact.

[Don’t be scared, Yanshang, that kid, he has always spoken in such a cold manner since he was young, he’s just been that way ever since, not too close to people.]

Madam Xie chatted with Su Zhiruan in a very familiar manner.

[Usually, I haven’t seen him show any special feelings towards anyone. I guess if he ever has feelings, he would hide them deep inside and not show them outright.]

Seeing this, Su Zhiruan replied.

[Auntie, you misunderstand, I am Dr. Xie’s patient, and this time I couldn’t find my parents, so I turned to Dr. Xie. I didn’t expect that you would be willing to go to the school for me, I really appreciate your trouble.]

[I’ve always wanted a lovely daughter since I’ve never had one myself. Since I’ve got nothing better to do at home, I’ll take care of it for you if you need me to.]

...

Thus, Madam Xie and Su Zhiruan chatted back and forth for quite some time.

Su Zhiruan was very polite, while Madam Xie was rather outgoing, and they hit it off quite well in their conversation.

Since she now had someone available, Su Zhiruan didn’t bother to continue looking for other potential stand-ins to sign for her.

The two agreed that Madam Xie would be present on time for the signature on Friday evening. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The next day was Friday, and that afternoon, the class teacher had arranged for Su Zhiruan to bring a parent to sign an acceptance contract in front of the officials.

Both the parent and the student were required to sign, two copies for each party, to be kept on record. Afterward, Su Zhiruan would be able to enroll without taking the college entrance exam.

Of course, she could still take part in the exam if she wished, as it wouldn’t be included in the record.

After classes that afternoon, Su Zhiruan stood up to wait for Madam Xie.

After class, the school gate was crowded with people. Those who used to bully Su Zhiruan now glanced at her; she was standing at the gate, and fellow students automatically steered clear, leaving a two-meter radius around her empty.

People whispered quietly, but no one dared to say those nasty words out loud in front of her.

Of course, there were those who intentionally spoke their mean words loudly as if by accident.

"What’s she doing here? Just standing like that, maybe she’s waiting for a sugar daddy to pick her up!"
