Chapter 22 Home Visit, the Exposure Begins (Part 1)

In an old building, Liu Chaoguo had not walked down such dim stairs for a long time.

Climbing up to the sixth floor, he held on to the wall and panted.

Living in such a dilapidated community with almost no neighbors, I really didn’t expect that Bai Qi’s family situation was so bad?

Could it be...that she applies to drop out of school every month to save tuition?

I climbed up with my brain in mind, and the surroundings were quiet and unusually deserted. He held the piece of paper with the address in his hand, checked the house number, and knocked lightly on the door.

An old voice came from inside: "Who is it?" There was a slow step and the door opened with a creak.

Liu Chaoguo saw the emaciated Ning Hui and said kindly, "Are you Bai Qi's grandmother?"

Ning Hui nodded in surprise: "I am! Are you?"

"I am Liu Chaoguo, Bai Qi's class teacher. I came here for a home visit this afternoon. I want to talk to you about Bai Qi's situation at school."

"It turns out it's Teacher Liu!" Upon hearing this, Ning Hui hurriedly greeted him into the room: "Please come in quickly! The room is a bit messy and I haven't had time to clean it up! The same goes for Xiaobai. If you want to come over, she won't come in advance. Tell me."

Liu Chaoguo said: "It doesn't matter, I came unexpectedly."

Entering the house, the small living room is not large, but the furnishings are all available. Ning Hui invited Liu Chaoguo to sit on the sofa and make tea herself: "There is no good tea at home. This is tea brought by Xiaobai's friend from his hometown. Teacher Liu, don't dislike it."

"Where is it!" Liu Chaoguo took it humbly, and a faint scent of tea overflowed from the cup, distracting him.

Looking down, the green tea leaves stand upright in the boiling water. The edges of the tea leaves are slightly red, and the reflected tea soup is as beautiful as sunset falling into the lawn.

Liu Chaoguo was shocked! Could this be the morning green and red clouds?

Liu Chaoguo's father-in-law was an experienced tea drinker and loved to collect and taste tea from various places and seasons. One time, my father-in-law accidentally saved a wealthy businessman. The man knew his father-in-law's preferences and sent him a small package of morning green and red clouds, saying that it was a treasure obtained from an auction. There were only three taels in total, and he took pictures of them all! The three of them drank together, and the father-in-law was full of praises. Even he, who didn't know much about tea, felt that he still had more to say!

I wanted to buy some tea to pay tribute, but I found out the price in private: one million and one tael! This is still priceless!

He was so speechless! I gave up the idea since then.

And now, Bai Qijia actually has this kind of tea?

Liu Chaoguo said doubtfully: "This tea is quite beautiful."

Ning Hui smiled honestly and said: "It's quite pretty, and it also has a pretty name. What's it called... What's the morning, what's Hongxia... Hey, it's not a precious tea, but it's also the wish of Xiaobai's friend. Don’t hesitate!”

Dislike tea worth one million and one tael?

Liu Chaoguo took a sip of tea mechanically and felt that the taste was much sweeter than the last time he drank it. Maybe it tasted so good that he almost didn't feel hot and drank a whole cup quickly.

Ning Hui saw this: "Teacher Liu has been climbing the stairs for so long. He must be thirsty!" After saying that, she went to get the hot water and took out a large bag from the drawer. "If you like this tea, Teacher Liu can bring some back." Bar?"

Teacher Liu looked at the extremely expensive tea leaves wrapped in paper so casually.

What was he thinking before? Bai Qi's family is poor?

I really want to wake myself up...

"No... no need." After finally finding his voice, Liu Chaoguo felt that his eyes were about to pop out.

If this big bag were real tea... it would cost five to six million, right?

Ning Hui just thought Liu Chaoguo was being polite and pushed him over enthusiastically: "It's rare for Mr. Liu to come to our house. It's just a little tea, so take it! My friend Xiaobai brings two or three pounds here every year, and I don't like tea, so let's take it." It’s also moldy!”

Two or three pounds? ?

Let it grow moldy? ? ?

Liu Chaoguo felt that his world view was about to collapse. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He shook his head firmly and said, "No, I really can't do it! I am a people's teacher. It is my duty to visit homes. I cannot accept gifts from parents." He said quickly. Change the topic to Bai Qi to avoid crying if you continue listening.

When Ning Hui heard Bai Qi's name, she sat up unconsciously: "Teacher Liu, what's wrong with my little Bai... is she not performing well in school? The school... the school wants to expel her?"

Liu Chaoguo shook his head, not knowing how to speak.

After all, he has never understood Bai Qi in the past two years! When Principal Zhou placed this student in his class, he only said that he was a good prospect and asked him to pay more attention to him. There are many students in Xingchen No. 1 Middle School who use the back door, but this is the first time that Principal Zhou can speak. He is a teacher who educates people, so he naturally has to cultivate the good seedlings that Principal Zhou calls good.

Unfortunately, Bai Qi didn't come to school in her first year of high school, and she skipped classes from time to time in her second year of high school. It's just that I can't see anyone, but when it comes to the final exam, I always get zero marks, as if I did it on purpose! Not only that, her behavior has become more and more playful, and she looks like she won't give up until she drops out of school.

Such a naughty ancestor has great respect for every teacher! Every time Liu Chaoguo called her to talk in the office, the seriousness on Bai Qi's face was definitely not fake.

When school started this year, he relied on this to make clear arrangements for Bai Qi. He finally made an agreement to go to class every day, but she suddenly had to go filming?

Liu Chaoguo wanted to find out what made Bai Qi so tired of studying? So he first gave a reassurance: "Don't worry, the school has no intention of expelling Bai Qi."

Ning Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's good! This child... this child..."

Liu Chaoguo said carefully: "I came to visit the family today to understand a situation. I have seen Bai Qi's high school entrance examination results that year, and I want to ask... why did she miss the last day of the exam?"

Ning Hui's face turned three points pale, and her hands trembled unconsciously.

Liu Chaoguo asked hurriedly: "Are you not feeling well?"

Ning Hui shook her head reluctantly: "No... I..."

She didn't know how to start...Xiao Bai came here after Wan Wan's accident. The grandparents and grandchildren moved from City A to City C where no one knew them. Although Xiao Bai temporarily borrowed Wan Wan's identity, everyone here only knew Bai Qi, not Ning Wan Wan.

Now asking about this past event is about Wan Wan... Ning Hui thought for a moment, and slowly spoke, her voice a little older: "She missed the last day of the exam because someone pushed her off the rooftop the night before!"

"What?" Liu Chaoguo was shocked and almost stood up.

Ning Hui sighed deeply, afraid of accidentally letting Wan Wan out, so she stopped calling her by her name and kept using "she" instead: "She used to have very good grades and a lively personality. She was the teacher's favorite top student. I... hoped so much for her... No one expected that something like this would happen. She was pushed off the rooftop. Fortunately, a big tree cushioned her for a while, but she was still seriously injured. That summer, I took her to seek medical treatment everywhere. Later, it was not easy to..."

When Ning Hui mentioned what happened back then, every word was still heartbreaking.

Ning Wan Wan, the granddaughter who could laugh, jump, and pull her to act coquettishly, fell in a pool of blood without any warning!
