C15 The Incident at the Parentteacher Conference(1)

Su Rann stepped out of her car and made her way toward the school. She was surrounded by affluent women driving their luxury cars, who cast disdainful glances at her unbranded clothes and the tote bag that resembled a market basket in her hand.

"Mrs. Guo, what a coincidence to see you today. Is that bag you're carrying the limited edition from Chanel this year? I've been thinking of getting one myself," inquired a girl clad in a short skirt and a deep V-neck dress.

Beside her stood a woman with wavy hair, teetering on sky-high heels, her hand adorned with a sparkling diamond ring and a striking gemstone necklace around her neck, exuding an air of arrogance.

"My husband just picked it up for me in Paris last week; they're quite hard to come by!" she boasted.

Su Rann walked past them without sparing them a glance.

"How can someone like her enter Chongming Middle School? Isn't this supposed to be an elite institution?" the short-haired woman scoffed with contempt.

Her eyes lingered on Su Rann for merely a second before moving on.

"She can't even afford a single decent outfit and has the audacity to come here? With that sly look on her face, she's clearly here to snag a man. I've seen too many of her type!" they sneered, their gazes slicing through her and trampling her beneath their feet.

Parent meetings at prestigious schools were often a stage for these affluent parents to mingle and subtly belittle those less fortunate, all while elevating their own status.

"Security, aren't you going to come over and check? Can just anyone walk into this school now?" one of the women called out.

The security guard, after a brief glance at the two lavishly dressed women, approached Su Rann directly.

"Hello, may I ask which student's parent you are?" he inquired, maintaining a polite tone.

"I'm not anyone's parent," Su Rann replied icily, her expression unchanging.

"I knew it! This woman is definitely here to find a man. I was right all along. Security, don't delay in escorting her out!" the short-haired woman said, her face twisted with scorn.

"If you're not a parent, then leave immediately! This is a prestigious school, not a place for just anyone!" the security guard's voice hardened.

But Su Rann paid him no heed and continued on her way.

"I've truly never encountered a woman as brazen as this one!" the long-haired woman sneered. "To think she came here looking for a man!"

The security guard quickly followed after her.

"Stop right there! You do not belong here!" he commanded.

Seeing that Su Rann didn't stop, he extended his hand to block her path.

Su Rann quickly crouched down, causing the security guard to tumble to the ground because of his own momentum.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Su Rann pulled out some of Lu Zihann's documents from her bag, her eyes as cold and unfathomable as a deep, icy pool.

The persistent buzzing of mosquitoes was truly irritating!

The security guard picked himself up and took a quick look at the documents in his hand. Upon seeing Lu Zihann's student ID, he didn't attempt to stop her further.

Mrs. Guo and the short-haired woman caught up, exclaiming, "Why did you let that seductive woman through?"

Their voices were tinged with reproach.

"Ladies, I've just realized that the woman is Lu Zihann's parent from the sophomore class two!"

The security guard knew how to play it smart; offending any parent at this elite school was out of the question.

He spoke to them with a tone of utmost gentleness.

His position as a security guard was his bread and butter. Displeasing them could mean losing his job at any moment!

At that moment, his demeanor was nothing short of obsequious.
