Chapter 13: Calling the Class Teacher

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Her sigh fell into the ears of the family doctor. He thought that she was worried about Lu Bei’s health, so he took the initiative to comfort her, “Don’t worry, Madam. Lu Bei’s body is very strong. He will be fine soon.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “...”

This damn misunderstanding.

She did not explain. In any case, it would be a mistake regardless. If the family doctor was going to misunderstand, then so be it.

From a certain point of view, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s personality was very Buddhist, and she was also somewhat content with the situation. After she found out that she had transmigrated to become someone else’s stepmother, she did not think about divorcing and getting rid of her identity as a stepmother. She had once inquired about the original owner’s situation. Both her parents were dead, and she only had some relatives who were unrelated to her. The original owner had no car, no house, no relatives, and no job. Although she had some savings, those savings could not really do much.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was a very flexible person. If Lu Bei and Lu Wanggui were easy to get along with, she did not mind being someone’s stepmother and wife. After all, it was easy to get things done with someone to back you up, just like when she wanted to open a shop. If she did not have the identity of Lu Wanggui’s wife, would it be so smooth?

Of course, now it seemed that Lu Bei was quite easy to get along with. He did not have the bad intentions of deliberately tormenting his stepmother as shown in most TV series. The only thing that worried Xiang Xiaoyuan was Lu Wanggui. If Lu Wanggui was like Lu Bei and could get along with her peacefully, she would not mind continuing the marriage.

However, if Lu Wanggui had some bad habits that she could not accept, she would try to see if the original owner and Lu Wanggui had signed any unfair agreements when they married. If they did not, then they would break up and have a divorce! If they had signed an agreement, then she would probably have to make other plans.

She had not thought of going head-to-head with Lu Wanggui. She had saved her life with great difficulty, but she did not want to lose it for no reason.

She threw the complicated emotions to the back of her mind and cheered up in the little garden. Being a monk meant that one had to hit the bell. She was still Mrs. Lu and Lu Bei’s stepmother, so she had to do her job well.

At this time, the butler respectfully came over and asked, “Madam, about Young Master’s school, would you like to make a call to inform them?”

If it was in the past, the butler would have made the call himself. After what happened yesterday, the butler felt that the madam was different from before, so he could not overstep his authority.

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded and was a little troubled. “But I don’t seem to have the number of Lu Bei’s class teacher.”

The butler replied very professionally, “Don’t worry, Madam, I have it here.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan realized that ever since she transmigrated, she had done many things that she had never done in her previous life. Previously, she was called a parent by the school. Now, she was calling the class teacher to ask for a leave of absence. This role of a stepmother that she was playing seemed to be getting better and better out of necessity.

In her impression, class teachers were usually stern and extremely fierce. Therefore, her hand trembled when she pressed the dial button. A soft and sweet “hello” came from the other end.

Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lu Bei’s class teacher was a sweet woman. She gave a rough description of Lu Bei’s situation. The class teacher expressed her understanding, but she still reminded her, “Lu Bei’s mother...”

When she addressed her like this, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s eyes opened wide. She quickly corrected, “Wait, Teacher Zhou, I’m not Lu Bei’s... Just treat me as his aunt.”

She did not dare to accept the title of “mother”. Lu Bei’s biological mother was still around, so the title of “mother” was not hers. Moreover, Lu Bei had never called her “mother”. If she were to accept it, wouldn’t that destroy the current peaceful relationship.

Fortunately, Teacher Zhou reacted quickly and changed the way she addressed her. “Alright, Lu Bei’s aunt.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “...”

“Although his health is important, he shouldn’t fall behind in his studies. It’s going to be the final exam soon. I hope that after Lu Bei’s health improves, he will still come to school for class.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t dare to casually guarantee this, so she answered tactfully, “Teacher Zhou, don’t worry. I will definitely let him know.”

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Xiaoyuan realized that a phone call had actually caused her to sweat. Of course, this sweat was purely caused by the way Teacher Zhou addressed her.

At noon, she sat at the dining table and thought about something. She was holding a plate of fever medicine in her hand. The kitchen water was boiling. Her mind was on the shop that had not opened yet.

She was too focused, so she did not see Lu Bei coming out of the room. He was standing by the handrail of the stairs and looking at her.

Lu Bei’s eyesight was very good, so he saw the cold medicine in her hand at a glance.

It was probably the cold medicine prescribed by the family doctor.

The expression on his face did not change, but his gaze fell on Xiang Xiaoyuan for a few more seconds than usual before he averted his gaze.
