Ah Lan was almost in tears. Was he rejecting her? She had thought this would be a good parent-teacher meeting, but instead, she realized that his patience with her was wearing thin.
As a result, she didn't hear a word the homeroom teacher said next.
When it was nearly over, the parents were all leaving, except Xiao Lijin was asked to stay by the homeroom teacher.
The homeroom teacher said with some difficulty, "Ah Lan, please step out for a moment, I have something to discuss with Mr. Xiao."
Ah Lan stared at her intently, as if saying, "If you dare speak anything out of line, don't blame me for being rude to you."
After issuing the warning, Ah Lan left.
How could Xiao Lijin not see her look? So as soon as she was out, Xiao Lijin said, "Go ahead and say whatever you need to, don't worry about her."
Since Xiao Lijin said so, the homeroom teacher naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
