Lin Dayuan thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I think Dad is right. They're not short of money, so we just need to express our feelings. Besides, if we measure it by money, Teacher Yang might get hurt."

Lin Xi nodded. "That's right. Knowing Teacher Yang as I do, if we give her an expensive gift in return, she'll definitely be angry."

"Let's settle on that. By the way, who's going to my parent-teacher conference tomorrow?"

Lin Guiying stood up abruptly. "Of course it's me. Didn't we agree on this before the New Year? The first time will be me, then your grandfather, and then your father."

The father and son nodded reluctantly.

The next day, Lin Guiying stepped into the campus in high spirits. It must be said that Su Youcai and Su Youcheng were indeed brothers, their meeting procedures were exactly the same.

Lin Guiying showed no embarrassment whatsoever despite the scrutiny of numerous parents.

Yes, my granddaughter is that amazing, you can all be envious!

After the meeting, Lin Guiying was immediately surrounded by people. She thought it would be a praise session, but instead, they all came to ask for books.

"Grandma Lin Xi, Xiao Xi's composition book is so popular, we can't get a copy! Could you ask Xiao Xi to save a few for us?"

"Yes, ma'am, I go to the bookstore every day, my legs are about to give out..."

"Grandma Lin Xi, I'll give you double the price, please talk to Xiao Xi about it..."

"Yes, money is not a problem, as long as we can buy it!"

……

This question left Lin Guiying completely bewildered. "Why didn't you just have your child ask my Xiaoxi directly?"

They're classmates, we see each other every day, why would you ask her to relay a message?

"Ahem, Grandma Lin Xi, my child is timid and doesn't dare to ask."

"Yeah, haha, my daughter said the same thing."

Lin Guiying frowned, puzzled. "Our Xiaoxi is easy to get along with and never bullies anyone."

"Oh dear, to be honest, my son said that Lin Xi studies diligently every day, and her teacher has also told us not to disturb her."

"Plus, she's so famous now, my kids idolize her and say they're too shy to talk to her."

"Yes, my son is the same. He keeps mentioning Lin Xi's name all the time, but he can't open his mouth when she's around."

Lin Guiying suddenly realized, but at the same time felt a little sorry for her granddaughter. Being too precocious was not a good thing. Her classmates didn't talk to her, and she was so lonely.

At this moment, he lost all interest in showing off and said in a deep voice, "My granddaughter is waiting for me at the school gate. Come with me and ask her!"

When she reached the door, Lin Guiying felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears. Everyone else was playing and laughing, but her child was squatting there reading, all alone and out of place with the others.

I should have known better than to let my child skip a grade; now he doesn't even have any friends.

Seeing this, the parents didn't dare to disturb her any longer. "Grandma Lin Xi, we'll be going now. Please remember to ask her for us!"

Lin Xi was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even notice her grandmother standing right in front of her.

Lin Guiying composed herself and said, "Xiao Xi, let's go home!"

Lin Xi looked up and saw that her grandmother's eyes were red and her voice was muffled. She asked anxiously, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

She did really well on the test. She just received a system notification that she got a perfect score and ranked first. Why isn't Grandma happy?

"It's alright, Grandma is happy. My granddaughter is so proud of me."

Lin Xi couldn't think of any other reason, figuring that her grandmother was probably just too excited, so she didn't ask any more questions.

On the way, Lin Guiying told Lin Xi about the book.

Not only can her classmate not buy it, she doesn't even know what the book looks like now.

Logically, Zhou Chao should have mailed her a copy, but he was too busy and forgot.

After arriving home, Lin Guiying went to help out at the shop, and Lin Xi called Zhou Chao to tell him about the matter.

Zhou Chao felt a little embarrassed, realizing it was her fault, and immediately agreed to mail her one hundred copies, letting her give them to whomever she wanted.

Lin Xi did not refuse; it was her book, and she should enjoy this kind of convenience.

Next up was the most exciting moment: the lucky draw.

As usual, first wash your hands thoroughly, then close your eyes and open your palms.

[Ding! A laptop computer: No network cable needed, no charging required, enjoy ultra-high-speed internet anytime, anywhere, plus a free hacker gift pack.]

Lin Xi had expected a tracksuit, but instead it was a computer. She jumped up excitedly, "Wow! Xiao Yi, I love you! This is my absolute favorite gift!"

Xiao Yi: "Hehe, it's because the host is lucky."

I've been pushing my host too hard before, so I'll give her some extra motivation.

A black laptop appeared on the desktop; it was very thin and light, booted up in a second, and had a super clear screen.

"My God! Xiao Yi, this...this is even better than those from later generations!"

Xiao Yi: "Of course, anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of high quality. There's nothing bad here."

Lin Xi was so happy she was practically beside herself. Heaven knows how much she missed the days when she had a computer; she would never have to write novels by hand again.

The key point is that there's also a hacker gift pack!

In my previous life, I admired those patriotic hackers. In this life, will I also have the opportunity to plant the national flag on foreign websites?

Xiao Yi: "Of course, no problem."

Lin Xi clenched her fists, looking determined to win. "I will definitely study hard!"

She was so happy she felt like she could fly, while Lin Guiying was sullen when she got to the shop.

They were all family members who spent every day together. Seeing that the old lady was listless and didn't brag about the parent-teacher conference, they immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Mom, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Lin Guiying immediately rolled her eyes, "Who dares to bully me?!"

"Sigh, I was just thinking about our poor little Xi. Today, those parents were saying..."

She described what she had seen and heard, and her eyes welled up with tears as she spoke. "You didn't see it, everyone was playing together, having a great time, but she was all alone, squatting in a corner studying. Just thinking about it makes me..."

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, the strong-willed Lin Guiying's tears streamed down her face.

Lin Dayuan is also a doting father to his daughter; otherwise, he wouldn't have bought a TV just so he could watch the news about her. He was sniffling as he said, "Yeah, I should have known better than to agree to let her skip a grade."

Lin Guojun felt even more sorry for her, wiping away his tears, "Don't even mention that she has no friends, now even we family members don't care about her anymore. She's busy all day long, and she can hardly talk to the children."

These words made the atmosphere even more somber.

In a fit of anger, Lin Dayuan rushed out and said, "Those in line, go back first. We're closing up shop."

Seeing the shop owner's red eyes, the customers assumed something terrible had happened at home and left without asking any further questions.

The customers who were eating also quickened their pace, urging the restaurant owner to hurry up and eat. Something terrible must have happened; the owner was even crying with worry.

When Tian Lei and Liu Erli overheard the Lin family's conversation, they pictured the little girl being ostracized and left with only books to keep her company, looking depressed and unhappy. Their hearts ached for her.

No wonder the shop owner was in a hurry to hire someone; if this goes on for too long, the child will develop psychological problems.

Lin Xi: You all misunderstand me so much!!

The Lin family rushed home. When Lin Xi heard the commotion and came out, she saw that everyone was looking at her with red eyes, as if they had suffered a great injustice.

He was instantly enraged and frowned, asking, "What's wrong? Is someone causing trouble? Who is it?"
