The intent in Teacher Zhao’s eyes was as clear as day.
Xie Tingyuan began to feel a surge of anger.
“Teacher Zhao, you were the one who asked to take this student. If you’re not going to take proper care of her, you can pack up and leave.”
This Teacher Zhao was a new hire who had joined just this year. There had clearly been far better candidates in her batch, yet she was the only one who had ended up getting hired.
He had entrusted the teacher recruitment process entirely to the dean of students.
It was true that he was approaching retirement age, but approaching retirement did not mean the dean of students could run the school as if he owned the place.
So two days ago, when Lu Xiong called him asking to transfer his child in, he had agreed without a second thought.
However, when he passed the student’s profile to the dean of students, he hadn't specified that Lu Yinghan was a member of the Lu family; he had merely provided basic, ordinary information.
To catch a fish, one had to set the trap in advance...
However, this child...
Admitting a child of the Lu family had served his own plans. Moreover, given the typical stature of the Lu family's children, no one would dare to look down on them.
Yet seeing Lu Yinghan today, along with how she and Lu Jiansen interacted with each other...
His brows furrowed slightly.
Was the Lu family out of money?
Could they not even afford to raise a single child?
While he was lost in thought, Teacher Zhao had already led Lu Yinghan out toward the classroom.
She walked forward with long strides, her high heels clicking loudly against the floor.
Lu Yinghan could only jog behind to keep up.
Teacher Zhao glanced back from time to time at the backpack on Lu Yinghan's back, filled with disdain.
Tch.
Putting on airs.
She couldn't even afford the latest clothing, yet her backpack was the newest model. This backpack would probably have to last her for all six years.
How she regretted it!
There were so many people surnamed Lu in the capital; how could she be lucky enough to get a child from the Lu family?
To think she had been so eager yesterday, even having the dean of students pull strings under the table for her.
She even had to go to a hotel with him after work today...
She clicked her tongue in disgust.
Every time she rolled around in the sheets with the dean of students, she had to shower multiple times and throw up repeatedly after getting home.
He was so greasy, disgusting, and had terrible body odor.
If not for building connections with the students' wealthy families, who would ever sleep with a foul man like him?
This surge of irritable anger left her thoroughly frustrated!
Turning around, she glared impatiently at Lu Yinghan, who was jogging to keep up, taking all her frustration out on the little girl.
“Walk faster! Why are you moving so slowly for such a short distance? Tell your parents to buy you better shoes when you get home. How can you walk fast wearing such shabby shoes? How poor is your family anyway? Do your parents not even know their own place?”
Lu Yinghan looked up at the teacher in shock. Attacking a student personally like this—she was truly spouting wild nonsense.
Were there no security cameras here? How could she be so brazen?
Indeed, there were no cameras.
To give the children independent space, the elite school hadn't installed security cameras anywhere on campus, viewing them as an invasion of privacy.
There weren't even any in the school's convenience store.
The students naturally queued up to pay on their own.
Precisely because there were no cameras, Teacher Zhao was as arrogant as could be.
If spoken to an ordinary child, those words would certainly make them upset.
However, Teacher Zhao had targeted the wrong person.
Having decided to sever ties with the Lu family in this life, Lu Yinghan chose to ignore Teacher Zhao’s mockery of her parents.
In fact, she even found it a little laughable.
Lu Xiong and He Shu indeed paid no attention or care to her, but the Lu family was undeniably the top family in the capital.
If the Lu family were considered poor, then no one in the capital—or the entirety of Country Z—could be considered rich.
Lu Yinghan's expressionless acceptance of the mockery suited Teacher Zhao well.
That’s how it should be. Students shouldn't talk back to teachers.
Her mood improved slightly, and with a cold snort, she continued leading Lu Yinghan forward.
Lavish classrooms came into Lu Yinghan’s view.
Besides regular classrooms, there were baking rooms, cooking rooms, foreign language rooms, dedicated music rooms, recording studios, and art studios...
Walking down a corridor, she turned her head to look outside and saw an equestrian field!
Upperclassmen were currently taking horseback riding lessons!
Lu Yinghan’s eyes widened!
This was an environment she could never have experienced in her past life.
Even though she had been born into a wealthy family, she had lived a humble and lowly life.
In this life, perhaps due to a butterfly effect, Lu Xiong and Lu Jiansen had thought to send her to school.
Still, the tuition was exorbitantly expensive.
Over six hundred thousand a year...
Lu Yinghan promptly pushed the thought out of her head.
She would keep it in mind for now, and once she earned her own money in the future, she would slowly save up and pay them back bit by bit.
They soon arrived at Teacher Zhao's classroom.
The previously furious Teacher Zhao immediately adjusted her composure.
She turned to Lu Yinghan with a fake smile.
“Here we are, Yinghan~”
Sliding open the heavy mahogany door, the deafening noise inside the classroom blasted into Lu Yinghan’s ears.
Some were yelling, others were causing a ruckus, and some had even formed little cliques!
Most of the girls were gathered around a little girl with long hair.
Before Lu Yinghan could catch a clear look at her, the little girl ran to the back row and sat down quietly.
Seeing their homeroom teacher appear, the children in the class granted her enough courtesy to sit back down.
However, they continued chatting with those around them, paying Teacher Zhao no mind at all.
Even so, Teacher Zhao maintained a broad, subservient smile as she faced the children.
“Everyone, we have a new transfer student joining our class today. Let’s all welcome her~”
This news put a stop to their chatter, as curious gazes shifted toward the doorway.
“A transfer student?? A transfer student at this time?”
“That can't be right? My dad said spots at this school are really hard to get. The spots for us first-graders had to be reserved a year in advance.”
“Who is that? How are they so incredible that they can transfer in now?”
These children were the sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters of various influential families in the capital, big and small.
Even at such a young age, they had already been shaped by their upbringing.
Arrogant and full of themselves.
Yet this was only one portion of the class; another portion was the exact opposite.
Most of them came from strict households, forced to learn many things back in kindergarten, and possessed excellent manners. They genuinely detested the classmates who looked down on others.
So when Lu Yinghan stepped into the classroom, the scene became awkwardly comical.
Half of the class burst out laughing, mocking Lu Yinghan, while the other half clapped attentively, welcoming her arrival.
On her very first day joining this class, Lu Yinghan already felt exhausted.
Not only was the homeroom teacher bizarre, but the atmosphere in this class was practically night and day!
This was an elite school?!
