This kind of thing made An Youyu feel uneasy. In her opinion, this kind of competition was obviously bullying.

Lin Shu pinched the girl's soft cheek. "What's wrong with it? If you're so capable, give me a reasonable explanation."

An Youyu thought about it quite seriously, "Auntie, if Lin Mo and I compete in doing test papers, he can win at most once out of a hundred times, and that's only if I underperform. Otherwise, he..."

At this point, she stole a glance at Lin Mo, her already soft voice softening even further, "If I don't underperform, he can't beat me even once. In Youyu's opinion, there's no need to do something that's guaranteed to be won."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu's gaze drifted to her silent son, and she teased him softly, "Xiao Mo, shouldn't you say something when Yu'er says such things?"

Lin Mo slowly raised his head, met his mother's gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Talking nonsense is useless, let's have the competition. Today I will definitely let this girl know what it means to be arrogant and defeated."

"well said."

Lin Shu's expression showed relief as she clapped and encouraged him, saying, "Keep it up! Yu'er doesn't believe in you, but Mom believes in you!"

As she spoke, her gaze fell on An Youyu. "Yu'er, your reasoning is insufficient. Xiao Mo is my son, and I believe he can win. Is there a problem?"

"This... is no problem."

Faced with Lin Shu's words, An Youyu couldn't think of any words to refuse.

She said what she needed to say.

Since Lin Mo and Lin Shu insisted on continuing the competition, she had no choice but to respectfully comply.

"That's it."

A smile rose in the depths of Lin Shu's eyes. She patted her son's shoulder earnestly and whispered, "Don't worry about the competition. No matter how much money you lose to Yu'er, Mom will reimburse you."

"Need not."

Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly without being noticed. "I have money."

At least, that's enough to feed this girl.

After the two went to their room to study, Lin Shu sat down on the sofa alone, took out her phone, found Yan Shiming's number, and dialed it.

The call connected, and Yan Shiming's voice came through.

"Ms. Lin, is there something you need?"

"Teacher Yan, Xiao Mo and Yu'er are taking leave this week and will return to school next Monday."

"..."

In the No. 2 High School office, Yan Shiming's face was stiff, his hand gripping the corner of the table, his voice extremely bitter, "Ms. Lin, this is a crucial stage for senior high school students to prepare for the final exams. Frequent absences... aren't they inappropriate?"

His words revealed his extreme caution.

"Nothing wrong."

Lin Shu chuckled and countered, "Teacher Yan, with Yu'er's current grades, it seems that going to school or not won't make much of a difference, don't you think?"

"What about Lin Mo?"

"I will be monitoring Xiao Mo's revision progress these next few days, so you can rest assured."

"This one……"

Lin Shu frowned, sensing a hint of hesitation in Yan Shiming's tone, and asked frankly, "Teacher Yan, if you have something to say, please just say it."

Yan Shiming took a deep breath, got up and closed the office door, and finally voiced his concerns, "Ms. Lin, a transfer student named Jiang Xiao came to our class recently."

"I know about this, so what?"

“This Jiang Xiao has a lot of influence, and I'm finding it a bit difficult to control him. Moreover, this kid seems to pay special attention to An Youyu. After learning yesterday that An Youyu had taken leave, he also wanted to take leave…”

Before Yan Shiming could finish speaking, Lin Shu interrupted, "What a joke! You'd approve his leave request just because he wants to? Professor Yan, you need to have your own stance!"

Yan Shiming: "..."

Seeing silence on the other end of the phone, Lin Shu coughed lightly, "Teacher Yan, that kid named Jiang Xiao does indeed have a lot of connections, but you don't need to worry too much. Just do as I say, and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

"Ms. Lin, is this really true?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiming immediately perked up.

He had personally witnessed Lin Shu's power; even Xiao Ding, the head of the Xiao family, had to kneel down and apologize on the spot. If he had to describe it in one word, it would be terrifying!

With someone like that backing him up, he really didn't need to be afraid of Jiang Xiao, his student.

"really."

Lin Shu smiled gently, "Teacher Yan, all you need to do is keep Jiang Xiao studying hard at school."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Shiming glanced at the time, picked up the test papers on the table, and headed towards the teaching building.

As he arrived at the classroom door, he bumped into Jiang Xiao by sheer coincidence.

Jiang Xiao carried her schoolbag, clearly looking like she was about to leave.

Seeing this, Yan Shiming's eyes flashed, and he asked expressionlessly, "Jiang Xiao, class is about to start, what are you doing?"

Having not seen An Youyu for several days, Jiang Xiao's face showed obvious impatience. "Teacher Yan, where is An Youyu?"

"asked for leave."

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Xiao frowned. "I also need to ask for leave today."

"What's the reason for your leave?"

"I'm not feeling well."

"No approval."

Jiang Xiao looked up in surprise, unable to believe what she had just heard. "Teacher Yan, what did you just say?"

Yan Shiming remained expressionless and repeated his words, "Fake, not approved."

"Ah--"

Jiang Xiao sneered and slowly slung her backpack over her shoulder. "Even if you don't approve my leave today, I'm leaving anyway."

"can."

Yan Shiming chuckled, "If you leave, I will record your absence. Three days of absence will result in expulsion. In other words, you will have two opportunities to act recklessly in the next month or so. How you allocate those opportunities is up to you."

"Skipping class?"

Jiang Xiao laughed, her smile full of disdain. "Teacher Yan is really quite arrogant. Others can ask for leave, but when I ask for leave, it's considered skipping class?"

Yan Shiming sighed helplessly, "When other students ask for leave, their parents do it for them. If you ask your parents to help you ask for leave, the teacher will approve it immediately without saying a word. Teachers should not approve students' leave without their parents' knowledge. This is a school rule."

"Parents are asking for leave?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao unconsciously clenched her hands, which had been hanging limply at her sides. The old man at home had no interest in such matters.

Thinking this through, his expression gradually returned to calm. "Teacher Yan, rules are rigid, but people are flexible; how can a living person be bound by rules?"

"I think you'd be better off being more accommodating. After all, there's still a large pool of teachers available. Who knows if you'll lose your job tomorrow? What do you think?"

Yan Shiming leaned against the railing in the corridor, looking Jiang Xiao up and down for a moment. "Are you threatening me?"

"What do you think?"

Jiang Xiao met his gaze, his superior attitude becoming even more pronounced.

Yan Shiming shook his head with a smile, "Then consider it a threat. But... I'm really sorry, but I'm not afraid of threats at all. If you have the guts, then make me lose my job. If you don't, then you'd better obediently follow my rules!"

"it is good."

Jiang Xiao waved without turning her head, "Goodbye, Teacher Yan, oh no, never again."

Chapter 149 A Visit

Yan Shiming stood in the corridor for a long time, until Jiang Xiao disappeared at the end of the corridor, before he withdrew his gaze, sighed with a complicated expression, "Ms. Lin, please don't trick me!"

"jingle--"

The school bell rang, and Yan Shiming suppressed his thoughts and strode into the classroom.

"test!"

……

In the principal's office.

Jiang Xiao crossed his arms and calmly sipped his tea. "It's just changing the homeroom teacher. Does Principal Gu really need to think about it for so long?"

He put down his teacup, slowly stood up, and said, "Or is it that Principal Gu doesn't want to give me this face?"

Gu Hai looked troubled. Before Jiang Xiao arrived, he had just received a call from Lin Shu and really dared not agree to Jiang Xiao's excessive request. After much hesitation, he finally expressed his opinion.

"Jiang Xiao, I will not agree to this, and it is impossible for me to agree to it."

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiao, after all, came from a prominent family, and immediately thought of many possibilities.

Gu Hai alone would never dare to refuse him. Even without using family connections, he could get rid of Gu Hai based solely on his own personal relationships.

But Gu Hai did just that, which clearly means someone was involved behind the scenes.

"Alright, then I won't bother Principal Gu any longer."

After saying this, Jiang Xiao turned and left.

Gu Hai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately took out his phone and dialed Lin Shu's number.

"Ms. Lin..."

…………

At the school gate, a black car drove towards Jiang Xiao.

"Second son."

Yan Tianzong got out of the car and walked to Jiang Xiao's side, a hint of doubt on his face. "Aren't we having class today?"

"An Youyu has taken leave again."

Jiang Xiao waved his hand in frustration, "Master Yan, have you found out anything about the address I asked you to check for An Youyu?"

"Baiyu Residential Area, Building 3..."
