Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Thinking of this, Zhou Min glanced up at Zhou's mother, who was chasing after her child in the amusement park across the street.

Although Zhou's mother never admitted it, she was actually somewhat sexist.

Previously, because she only had one daughter and had no choice, and because Zhou's mother was always very strong-willed, she had been holding back her anger and raised Zhou Min by comparing her to other people's sons.

Although Zhou Min was never mistreated materially, she was unable to feel a sense of belonging.

After so many years of marriage, in Zhou's mother's eyes, her family is still the most reliable.

Even though her family was large and each member had their own thoughts and schemes, Zhou's mother still devoted herself to her family without complaint.

Zhou Min used to think that her mother's behavior of emptying her own family's coffers and subsidizing her own family without any limits was foolish.

She felt that Zhou Min was completely blind to the mistreatment and exploitation she was being treated by others. Zhou Min had argued with her mother about this time and time again, but all her arguments ended in failure.

Zhou Min originally thought this was a problem with her mother's personality, and that she could never change it in her lifetime.

But ever since her younger brother was born, Zhou's mother suddenly changed. She was no longer the person who would sacrifice everything to support her parents and brothers.

She also started to only do superficial things, helping when she could, and would no longer force herself to do so.

This change felt abrupt to Zhou Min, but her family and friends seemed to accept it as a matter of course, including her maternal grandparents.

It was at this moment that Zhou Min truly realized what her daughter and son meant to her mother.

And why did she keep urging herself to have a second child in her past life?

From then on, Zhou Min never took a single penny from her family again.

However, Zhou Min would not let these relatives know about these things, because if they knew that all the expenses for this trip were paid by Zhou Min.

They might start to think Zhou Min is promising and place high hopes on her.

Zhou Min was truly afraid of bearing such expectations.

Upon hearing Zhou Min's words, Uncle Zheng immediately turned his eyes and ran to Zhou's father's side.

Before they went over, I don't know what Aunt Zheng and Uncle Zheng talked about, but after they finished talking, Aunt Zheng stopped shopping and went to the other side to help Zhou's mother take care of the children. Zhou's mother and Aunt Zheng finally had time to come over and shop.

The group spent the morning shopping at the mall. After lunch, Zhou Min, at her mother's request, took them to the largest beauty salon in the capital.

After arranging their skincare and styling, Zhou Min prepared to go back to sleep.

Zhou Min had a good plan, but as soon as she lifted her foot, her mother grabbed her.

Upon learning that Zhou Min was preparing to go back to sleep, Zhou's mother immediately scolded her with exasperation, "First impressions are very important! If you don't dress well for the first meeting, and she gets a bad impression, you'll suffer later, and you'll have nowhere to complain..."

Seeing her mother's excited expression, Zhou Min quickly stopped her, saying, "Alright, I understand. It's just that Teacher Gong's parents are quite busy and might not be available today."

Zhou Min hadn't thought much of it before, but now, seeing the serious expressions on her mother's and relatives' faces, she felt it was better to explain things to them clearly to avoid wasting an entire afternoon of anxiety.

"What do you mean by 'quite busy'? Can't you even spare the time it takes to eat a meal?"

Hearing Zhou Min's words, Zhou's mother was furious.

If you don't want to see each other, you should have made it clear beforehand. We've all been preparing for a day, and you're still saying this? What does that mean?

When the relatives saw that Zhou's mother was angry, they all immediately came over to try to calm her down.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Third Aunt, don't be angry. Let's talk things out slowly."

......

Zhou's mother repeated Zhou Min's words to everyone in an annoyed tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small deal. To put it bluntly, it means that the man has no intention of getting married and doesn't want to meet at all.

Of course, it's also possible that they look down on their poor relatives and don't want to talk to them.

On a smaller scale, it could also be that the couple didn't communicate well and had a disagreement.

Because they didn't know the specifics, no one dared to speak up. They could only keep comforting Zhou's mother and telling her not to overthink it.

Uncle Zheng, who was standing to the side, did not believe that Gong Yu would be that kind of person.

While everyone was trying to comfort Zhou's mother, Zheng's uncle immediately took out his phone and called Gong Yu.

The moment the call connected, Uncle Zheng made a shushing gesture to everyone before asking directly into the phone, "Hey, Xiao Gong, where are you meeting tonight? Should we head over early?"

Uncle Zheng's phone was on speakerphone, and when Zhou Min heard Teacher Gong's "Hello," she had a bad feeling. She was about to stop him when her mother pulled her back, and she could only watch helplessly as Uncle Zheng continued his shocking phone call.

Sure enough, Uncle Zheng didn't disappoint her at all, and came straight to the point with this question.

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment after being asked by Aunt Zheng's question, before asking in return, "Is Zhou Min next to you?"

"Yes, do you want to talk to her? Oh, it's the same thing, my phone is on speakerphone, so Minmin can hear you. Right, Minmin?"

As Uncle Zheng finished speaking, he called out "Zhou Min" to show that what he said was true.

Zhou Min glanced coldly at Zheng Xiao's husband, who had taken it upon himself to do so, and did not respond.

Seeing Zhou Min's expression, Uncle Zheng didn't pay any attention.

Anyway, Zhou Min's temper has always been bad, from childhood to adulthood.

It's normal to be a little emotional after arguing with your boyfriend.

"Oh, as long as she can hear me, that's fine. I've booked the Yihe Hotel for the meeting. I'll arrange a car to pick you up around five o'clock."

"No need, no need, we have our own car," Uncle Zheng repeatedly refused.

"It's alright, the hotel here arranged the shuttle service, and it also gives your driver a chance to rest."
