Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 247 - Chapter 247 Chapter 247 Im Not Afraid _1

Chapter 247: Chapter 247 I’m Not Afraid _1 Chapter 247: Chapter 247 I’m Not Afraid _1 Leng Rui also showed a thoughtful expression, shortly followed by raised eyebrows in surprise. His niece didn’t say anything until now, which sparked some suspicions. It did seem a bit odd.

As a businessman, he was skilled at observing people. However, he had just spoken to that person, and no significant impression was made.

Just an ordinary person.

An ordinary person standing in a crowd who no one would take a second glance at, let alone remember.

But, upon a second thought, that face doesn’t seem to be ordinary, does it!

“Did you notice it too?” He Sha Sha asked excitedly.

Unfortunately, Leng Rui shook his head, “Perhaps we’re just overthinking it. She’s just an ordinary student.” He looked down from the building, the kid had already left from the stairs on the first floor.

A slender figure strolled on the school road, smiled, and greeted passing teachers and students. Many teachers initiated the greeting, suggesting she must be popular amongst them.

This observation made him ignore the initial speculation.

It seemed like he had overcomplicated things; there wasn’t any deliberate steering away or pretense of mediocrity.

“Let’s go! We’re wasting time, and I have a business deal to negotiate this afternoon.” Leng Rui urged and even took the lead in carrying He Sha Sha’s backpack.

The two descended the building and passed by the big bulletin board at the entrance. He Sha Sha exclaimed, “Eh! That blonde girl, she has such great grades.”

She was a poor student; her academic performance had always been dismal! After her mother passed away, nobody looked after her. She turned into a troublemaker, often landing in fights and skipping school.

Naturally, her grades were terrible.

However, that didn’t prevent her from admiring those who do well academically.

Leng Rui glanced at the bulletin board. There was a notice and a photo. It was the student they saw earlier, Jiang Zhuanzhuan, and also listed her exam scores.

First in the county middle school test.

No wonder she was so liked by the teachers.

When the uncle and niece reached Grade 12, Class 1, there was a lively commotion. Boys were playing around while the girls clustered together, whispering and chatting.

Many who hadn’t seen each other all summer, now greeted each other with enthusiasm.

Those who had attended summer parties were also gathered together talking as the teacher wasn’t there yet.

“Eh? Where’s our class monitor?” Someone noticed that Huo Jinlan’s seat was still empty and asked in confusion.

“No idea.”

“Haven’t heard anything.”

“Could something have happened?”

Someone said casually: “She’s the school principal’s daughter, what could happen? Even if there were a problem, she wouldn’t need to ask for leave, just tell the principal.”

Wu Shanshan leaning over her desk, let out a cold laugh on hearing this. She lived in town and had heard that Huo Jinlan was not the principal’s biological daughter but was adopted.

Pretending to be the principal’s daughter, so fake.

However, she wouldn’t say anything. After all, she had heard that Huo Jinlan’s biological parents were even wealthier and more influential than the family of the school principal. Many townsfolk had seen the car that came to pick her up.

In the future, Huo Jinlan would be even more formidable.

Just then, a loud voice interrupted the conversation, “She’s not the daughter of the principal, she was adopted, not biological.”

Everyone glanced with abhorrence at the speaker.

“Lu Zhishen, stop spreading nonsense.”

“Indeed! You better watch out. The monitor will get you when she comes back.”

Lu Qingtian smirked, “I’m not afraid!”
