Mingzhi Middle School's school opening and parent-teacher conference are on the same day.
This is a tradition at Mingzhi Middle School, to have the parent-teacher conference at the time of school opening.
Now that the Shen Family has two high school students at Mingzhi Middle School, Sang Menglan and Shen Xingyan made the same choice when discussing who should attend the parent-teacher conferences for whom.
After learning that Xu Chuning, Xu Yiming's biological daughter, was in the same class as Shen Sinian, Sang Menglan proposed to attend the conference for Shen Sinian, as she wanted to see Xu Chuning in person. Shen Xingyan also wanted to meet Xu Chuning, but not because she was Xu Yiming's daughter. He was curious because he knew that Xu Chuning would be his future daughter-in-law.
The two argued incessantly, even letting Shen Yubai choose who would attend his conference and who would attend Shen Sinian's.
