143 Don’t Even Think About Running Away
Every exam was followed by a parent-teacher meeting, and this time was no exception.
The parent-teacher meeting was set for next Monday at 3 o’clock. The class teacher, Phoebe, told everyone to remember to inform their parents. If anyone dared to hide anything from their parents, she would personally pay them a visit!
Below the podium, those who did well would answer loudly and clearly, while those who don’t, would not make a sound.
After the parent-teacher meeting, they would either have to worry about their pocket money or be rewarded with mixed martial arts by their parents.
For them, the parent-teacher meeting on Monday would start this weekend. They had to immerse themselves in this sad atmosphere. The closer the time was, the sadder it would be.
Leon didn’t have such a problem at all. He thought that his ranking would make Vivian envious at the parent-teacher meeting and that she would be able to attend it tomorrow.
After school in the afternoon, Leon, Frank, and Simon packed their bags and walked toward the school gate.
Frank asked Leon curiously, “Leon, Aunt Vivian is so busy. Does she have time to come to your parent-teacher meeting?”
Leon was stunned for a moment. He was really not sure. “I don’t know. What about you? What if your parents don’t come?”
Frank said self-deprecatingly, “There’s no ‘if’. They definitely won’t come. My parents will arrange for someone to impersonate them. I don’t have to worry about this.”
As they spoke, they arrived at the gate. Vivian was standing in the middle of a group of parents with a big belly.
When Leon saw this from afar, he jogged forward with a smile.
Frank looked at the gentle smile on Vivian’s face, his eyes full of envy.
Leon followed Vivian into the car. Remembering that the parent-teacher meeting was on a working day, he asked cautiously, “Mom, our mid-term exam results are out. The teacher said that there will be a parent-teacher meeting next Monday. Can you come?”
Vivian saw the anticipation in Leon’s eyes. She smiled and said, “I have to go even if I can’t. How can I not attend my son’s parent-teacher conference?”
A smile appeared on Leon’s face, and he asked, “I hope I didn’t interrupt your important work?”
Vivian gently pinched Leon’s face and told him with certainty, “Nothing is more important than you.”
Leon revealed a satisfied smile.
Because of Leon’s recent rapid growth, some of his original clothes and pants could no longer be worn. Even his shoes had started to become small. Vivian took advantage of the weekend to bring Leon to the mall.
When Leon saw that Vivian was picking clothes according to his current height, he thought that if he grew taller next month, the clothes this time would not last long and would be wasted again. “Mom, buy me a size bigger. Otherwise, it’s such a waste of money.”
Although the clothes could be worn if they were bigger, they did not fit him. It will not look fresh, like a child wearing adult clothes.
Vivian was not short of money now, so she naturally wanted to give the best to Leon.
Seeing that Leon was still habitually thrifty, Vivian’s heart twitched slightly in pain. “It’s okay. If you can’t wear these clothes, we can donate them to people who need them. It’s not comfortable for you to wear a size bigger, especially shoes. It’s better if they fit your feet better.”
Seeing that Vivian had already made the arrangements, Leon did not say anything more.
Neither of them noticed that a pair of sinister eyes were watching them from a distance.
Daisy and Lilian, who were following behind Vivian, noticed that something was wrong. They quickly turned around to investigate, but they found nothing. Too many people were in the mall, and Daisy and Lilian couldn’t find anyone suspicious.
After a while, when there were no more strange feelings, the two of them relaxed, thinking that others were looking at others through them.
After spending the night shopping, Daisy and Lilian each carried more than ten shopping bags.
When they left the mall, David was driving to the entrance. They got into the car and sped away.
At this moment, a man wearing sunglasses ran out of the gate behind him. He looked at the license plate number of the car that Leon got into and left, and his eyes were filled with anger.
“Leon, don’t even think about running away this time!”
This man was Simon. He had been in S City for almost half a month. He had just wooed a rich young lady that he had recently found.
Today, Simon had come to buy a cheap necklace and was prepared to use it to trick the other party into giving him more money. He didn’t expect to meet Leon.
Looking at the woman beside Leon, Simon felt that she looked familiar. However, before he could look closer, he was discovered by the female bodyguard beside her. Therefore, he didn’t dare to act rashly.
