Dragon King's Son-In-Law Chapter 101 The Issue of Puppy Love

A little diary with a silver lock caught Hao Ren’s eyes.

“This girl is so bored in class that she writes in a diary?”

With the diary in hand, Hao Ren hesitated if he should open and read it. The little decorative lock was nothing in his eyes.

“Did she bad-mouth me in her diary?” Hao Ren was curious.

“Or does this girl have a crush on someone?” Hao Ren had a bad feeling about it.

The diary must contain Zhao Yanzi’s little secrets such as people and things she hated and liked. It would be interesting to know about them.

On second thought, Hao Ren put the diary aside. After all, it was despicable to peep at Zhao Yanzi’s diary.

“If it is not locked, I will surely read it.” Hao Ren lowered his head and continued to explore the drawer.

He dug out two palm-size comic books, one pocket-size romance novel, an entertainment magazine, and a guide to horoscope and love.

“She reads these stuff in class… No wonder this girl has poor grades.”

Hao Ren flipped through the romance novel and quickly lost interest after finding out that it was a cliché story about a handsome guy and a beautiful girl. He opened the guide to horoscope and love and found some content marked with a ball-point pen.

“Girls like her do believe in such things,” he thought.

Since he discovered so many little secrets of hers, Hao Ren reached his hand into the corner of the drawer, trying to find more.

Snap! Suddenly, something bit on Hao Ren’s finger.

“Auch!” he yelled at the excruciating pain.

His shout interrupted Luo Ying’s speech, and her face turned livid. However, she controlled her urge to kick Hao Ren out. After all, he was there representing Zhao Yanzi’s parents, and the Class Advisor had to keep her composure.

Hao Ren withdrew his shaking hand from the drawer of the desk, and a big mouse trap was firmly attached to the fingers of his right hand; his fingers had begun to swell a little.

With his left hand, Hao Ren pried open the trap and found a slip of paper stuck on it.

“Stinky Uncle! You are dead if you dare to touch my stuff!”

Hao Ren gritted his teeth and pushed the mouse trap and the other stuff back into the drawer; he knew he had fallen into Zhao Yanzi’s trap.

He had not expected that she would be daring enough to hide a super powerful mouse trap in there.

While shaking and rubbing his red and swollen fingers, Hao Ren was so resentful that he had the urge to open and read her diary. However, he thought about her traps and decided against it.

On the teaching platform, Luo Ying was burning with rage since she noticed Hao Ren’s change of expressions and weird behaviors. Zhao Yanzi was troublesome enough for her, and now even Zhao Yanzi’s cousin who came to the Parent-Teacher Meeting was bothering her!

In her mind, Hao Ren was only a student in the 12th Grade; she didn’t know that the so-called cousin of Zhao Yanzi was a student at East Ocean University, the best university in East Ocean City.

“The main point of my speech is to urge you to pay more attention to your children’s studies and not to neglect them when you are focused on work.” With Hao Ren squirming under her eyes, Luo Ying was not in the mood to give a long speech.

“Now I’ll announce the midterm examination scores. I will read out the names of the top 20 students in our class and hand out the report card of the remaining 23 students.”

Hearing that the meeting had entered its main topic, Hao Ren gathered his thoughts and looked toward Luo Ying.

“Judging by Zhao Yanzi’s reaction, she must be one of the students who would get a report card,” Hao Ren thought.

The other parents looked a little nervous; they would feel proud and honored if their children’s scores were read out loud in class, and they would be ashamed if they got a report card since everyone would know that their children weren’t that good at their studies.

“Xu Jiani; she is ranked No.1 in our class and No.2 in the entire Eighth Grade. Her total score is 798; Math 92, Chinese 87, English 96, Chemistry 86, Physics 88, History 84, Geography 87, Biology 88, Politics 90,” Luo Ying announced the scores of all the tests.

All the parents were envious of these scores. Undoubtedly, the woman with a joyous expression sitting in the third row was Xu Jiani’s mother.

“Cheng Ming; he is ranked No.2 in our Class and No.6 in the entire Eighth Grade. His total score is 776; Math 90, Chinese 85……”

Hearing this name and the scores, the middle-aged man with strands of grey hair sitting in the second last row looked pleased.

More and more parents heaved sighs of relief as Luo Ying continued to announce the scores of the top 20 students. When she announced the 15th student, the man sitting next to Hao Ren was so excited that he mumbled a “Yes!” and waved his fist to show his relief.

Then, he nodded at Hao Ren as an apology for his outburst of excitement.

Luo Ying ignored the reaction of the parents and continued to read, “Xi Huan; he is ranked No.16 in our class and No.42 in the entire Eighth Grade. This student is good at the important subjects, but the minor subjects pulled down his total score. That’s why you as parents must not focus only on the major subjects. Math 90…”

Hao Ren had given up all hope and was prepared to receive Zhao Yanzi’s report card when Luo Ying read, “Zhao Yanzi.”

“She is ranked No.17 in our class and No. 43 in the entire Eighth Grade. Her total score is 725; Math 89, Chinese 91, English 80, Chemistry 81, Physics 82, History 77…” Luo Ying read the scores expressionlessly, but Hao Ren was so excited that he couldn’t believe his ears.

“Did they confuse her scores with another student’s?” Hao Ren thought.

After reading out Zhao Yanzi’s scores, Luo Ying added, “Zhao Yanzi achieved the greatest progress this time. She jumped up from the third last spot to No.17 in our class, and her rank in the entire grade jumped from No.306 to No.43.”

Hao Ren was dumbfounded. Now, he was sure that he had heard it right, and Luo Ying was indeed announcing Zhao Yanzi’s midterm examination scores!

Even though he knew she cheated a bit, the big jump from No.306 to No.43 was beyond his wildest expectation.

Ignoring the vivid expression on Hao Ren’s face, Luo Ying said to him tonelessly, “I hope Zhao Yanzi will continue with her good performance, and I hope you can tell her parents that I hope they will continue their good efforts with Zhao Yanzi.”

Feeling ignored by the Class Advisor, Hao Ren retorted in his mind, “Hey! It was mainly due to my efforts that Zhao Yanzi achieved such great progress!”

Of course, Luo Ying couldn’t read his mind. To her, Hao Ren was just someone sent by Zhao Yanzi’s parents to get the scores.

She continued to read the scores.

The parents whose children’s scores were not announced looked ashamed when the Class Advisor handed out the report cards to them.

Just when Hao Ren thought the meeting was over, Luo Ying returned to the platform and announced, “I’ve said enough about the importance and urgency of paying more attention to the students’ studies, and I have announced the scores. The last part of the meeting is about the issue of puppy love.”

Like Hao Ren, all the other parents who had been packing their stuff raised their heads at her words.
