Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 11 : Daughter and Mother talk

“Hello! Teacher Wang, how is my daughter Xiaowan doing in school recently? Has she been bullied, or is there any unusual behavior?”

“Xiaowan’s mom, Lin Xiaowan is doing well in school. She has good grades and gets along well with her classmates. By the way, I was just about to call and thank you.”

Wang Xiaoqian frowned slightly, unsure of Wang Yi’s intention with these words. However, she didn’t speak out, sensing that this matter was related to Lin Xiaowan’s concerns.

“Speaking of which, Lin Xiaowan is indeed a good child. You and Director Lin have set a great example.”

“Here, on behalf of student Xiao Shiyu, I want to thank you for your generous donation of 220,000 yuan for her father’s medical treatment.The school wants to use this incident as an exemplary model. Do you have time to visit the school?”

“220,000 yuan?” Wang Xiaoqian repeated, wide-eyed. When did she donate so much money?

“Yeah, Xiaowan’s mom, you may not be aware. Xiaoshiyu’s father is suffering from renal failure and needs a kidney transplant. They didn’t even have the guarantee deposit for the matching test before…”

After Wang Yi rambled on, Wang Xiaoqian finally understood what had happened. Lin Xiaowan mentioned this donation when she came home yesterday. However, they only gave a thousand yuan, and the remaining 219,000 yuan—what was going on?

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaoqian felt more and more uneasy. She went to Lin Guoqiang’s study and explained the situation in detail.

“Old Lin, do you think our child is taking money from people?”

Lin Guoqiang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, “We know our daughter. She would never randomly accept money. Although she’s only seventeen, she understands things early on. Have you ever seen her accepting anything from others since she was a child?”

“Moreover, to avoid this, we haven’t skimped on her pocket money from childhood, just to prevent our daughter from being deceived so this is impossible.”

“But Teacher Wang repeatedly said that our daughter donated 220,000 yuan. This is not a small amount of money.”

Lin Guoqiang frowned, “I took Xiaowan to school this morning. When passing by the bank, she did indeed withdraw some money, but it was only around 20,000 yuan. About the remaining 200,000 yuan…”

“No, I need to find out.” Wang Xiaoqian stood up.

“You can ask, but be gentle. Don’t go accusing her as soon as you approach her,” Lin Guoqiang reminded.

Wang Xiaoqian nodded, “I understand this. Our daughter is grown up, and her temper has come up. I know better than you on how to speak to her.”

“Hehe~!”

Wang Xiaoqian returned to Lin Xiaowan’s room. At this moment, Lin Xiaowan was chatting with Su Lin.

Su Lin had stayed after school for some reason, and Lin Xiaowan, not knowing what she was thinking, sent a message to Su Lin.

“Su Lin, have you arrived home?”

“Not yet, I was just about to go home. What’s up, Xiaowan?”

“Oh~! It’s like this. The monthly exams are coming up soon. How’s your review going?”

Sitting in a taxi, Su Lin saw the message and found it amusing, “Even if my review is going excellent, I still won’t be able to surpass you. You are the top student in our whole school.”

“Hehe, you can make some effort. You and my total score is only twenty or thirty points apart. With some effort, you might surpass me.”

“Hehe, surpassing you is not my current concern. Let’s think about how I can surpass Xia Shiyu first.”

“Hehe, I believe you can do it.”

“Oh really? So confident in me?”

“Of course, you only lag behind a bit in English. Seriously memorize vocabulary, listen to tapes occasionally, and your grades will improve.”

“Easy for you to say. If it were that simple, there wouldn’t be anyone with poor English scores in the class. Everyone would have full marks.”

Wang Xiaoqian saw Lin Xiaowan’s face brimming with a youthful and cheerful smile, and her heart became vigilant again. This kind of smile isn’t just from falling in love, she, as an experienced person, knows it too well. When she secretly dated Lin Guoqiang, it was the same.

“Who is my daughter chatting with, so happily?”

“Oops!” Lin Xiaowan quickly closed the chat interface on her phone, then turned around and complained, “Mom, can’t you knock on the door when coming in?”

“Daughter, you’re blaming me wrongly. The door was open, so why would I knock?”

“Uh… well, forget it. Remember to knock next time.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll remember next time.” Lin Xiaowan sweetly smiled as she pulled a chair and sat beside Lin Xiaowan. “Xiaowan, Teacher Wang just called me.”

“Uh…”

Lin Xiaowan became nervous instantly, staring at Wang Xiaoqian cautiously. “Mom, what did Teacher Wang say on the phone?”

“Don’t be so nervous. He called to thank us,” Wang Xiaoqian patted Lin Xiaowan’s shoulder. “Xiaowan, you should explain the donation to me. It’s 200,000 yuan which is not a small amount.”

Lin Xiaowan made a troubled face. “Mom, can we not discuss this?”

“Why? Is there something wrong with it?” Wang Xiaoqian asked seriously, “Xiaowan, you know about our family situation. When it comes to money with unclear sources, even if it’s just a hundred yuan, we need to verify it. Not to mention 200,000 yuan. You should understand the seriousness of the matter.”

“I… I don’t know how to explain.” Her mind was in turmoil.

Wang Xiaoqian sensed her daughter’s dilemma and said, “Daughter, did you make some agreement with someone, and that’s why you find it difficult to talk about?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded. “I promised not to disclose it to others. Revealing it would have a bad impact.”

“Why? Are you worried that I will talk about it everywhere?”

“It’s not what you think.”

“You may not say it out loud, but you’re thinking like that in your heart.”

Wang Xiaoqian held Lin Xiaowan’s hand and said, “You may have agreed not to talk about it with your classmates, but you didn’t make such an agreement with your parents. You should tell us about this money. If you don’t, I’ll go to the school tomorrow and investigate.”

“Ah, Mom, don’t force me.” Xiaowan hesitated for a moment before finally giving in. “Alright, Alright!”

Lin Xiaowan also realized that hiding and evading wouldn’t work at this point. With Wang Xiaoqian’s personality, if she said it, she would definitely go through with it. If tomorrow she really went to the school to make a fuss, it would truly ruin someone.

“Okay, rest assured. As long as where the money came from is not shady, your dad and I won’t tell anyone after knowing. If you don’t want to say anything, then I’ll go to the school tomorrow and find out.”

“Oh, Mom, please don’t pressure me.”

“I’m telling you this for your own good.” Wang Xiaoqian comforted Lin Xiaowan and said, “Daughter, we understand your character. You wouldn’t randomly accept money. Although you’re only seventeen, you understand things that others may not at this age.”

“From a young age, we’ve given you pocket money, all to prevent you from being deceived. So accepting money like this is impossible.”

Lin Xiaowan sorted out her words and began to explain the origin of the 200,000 yuan.
