Chapter 12 If Dad Isn’t Strict with Me, I’ll Become a Completely Useless Person
Lan Xiao sat up slowly, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and lifted the quilt to get out of bed.
She picked a white dress and put it on. She had fallen in love with it the moment she’d seen it and bought it, but Lou Yucheng didn’t like it. So, all this time, the dress had been kept in her wardrobe without ever being worn.
When she just finished changing her clothes, someone knocked on the door.
“Sister, are you up? Mom is asking if you want to go to school today. If you don’t feel well, you can just rest at home. I’ll help you ask for leave.” Lan Muya’s voice came from outside.
Lan Xiao ignored her. She sneered and went to freshen up, letting the pretentious Lan Muya continue her act.
“Sister? Sister…” Lan Muya called Lan Xiao more than ten times, but she didn’t get any response from the room. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she secretly cursed in her heart, ‘Idiot!’
She impatiently yelled a few more times, but Lan Xiao still didn’t respond.
With a slight frown, she finally turned around and went downstairs.
Liu Shan asked in a hurry, “How is she? What did she say?”
Lan Muya pouted with reddened eyes. She sat next to Lan Shanhua and sniffed with a sad expression. “Dad, I called Sister several times, but there was no response from her. Was she ignoring me on purpose?”
Lan Shanhua didn’t say anything. Liu Shan glared at Lan Muya and said, “What are you talking about? Maybe your sister went to bed late last night and hasn’t gotten up yet.”
Then she looked at Lan Shanhua and said with a gentle smile, “Shanhua, since Xiao Xiao hasn’t gotten up, why not ask Muya to ask for leave for her? She must have been scared last night. I’ll go upstairs to see her later… Or I can send for a psychologist…”
Lan Shanhua frowned. “Why should she ask for leave? She often takes leave, and she is lagging behind her classmates. She has to take the college entrance examination in a few months. With her grades…”
Words failed Lan Shanhua.
Lan Xiao’s grades had always bothered him.
If she couldn’t get into a key university after the college entrance examination, he would have to find another way to tuck her into a key university, even if he had to spend a lot of money.
“But Xiao Xiao probably hasn’t gotten up. She… Although I love her, her grades are not as good as Muya’s…” Liu Shan murmured and sighed.
Lan Shanhua’s face darkened again.
The three of them were sitting in the dining room on the first floor and discussing whether Lan Xiao was still sleeping or not.
The more they discussed, the angrier Lan Shanhua became. It made him angry that his daughter didn’t live up to his expectations.
She was a dull girl with bad grades and a rude personality. She even frequently caused trouble and fought.
To put it simply, the 18-year-old Lan Xiao was really a problem student.
She played fast and loose with her studies.
And she just skipped school whenever she wished. It was as if she treated the school as a hotel.
“How about we find a tutor for Xiao Xiao? Otherwise, she even won’t be able to get into an ordinary university.” Noticing that Lan Shanhua was about to lose his temper, Liu Shan continued to add fuel to the fire.
Suddenly, Lan Shanhua slammed his bowl and chopsticks down on the table. With a livid face, he looked at the servant standing next to him and shouted, “What are you waiting for? Ask Xiao Xiao to come downstairs for breakfast and go to school. From now on, she is not allowed to be absent or late for school!”
Liu Shan said with a worried face, “Shanhua, don’t be so strict with Xiao Xiao. You will scare her…”
“If Dad isn’t strict with me, I’ll become a completely useless person…” Holding the handrail, Lan Xiao raised her eyebrows and smiled at Liu Shan.
