Mou Xue walked into the classroom, and Xu Chuning turned to say to You Shuzhen, "Mom, I'll talk to you after the parent-teacher meeting is over."
You Shuzhen hesitantly nodded, "Okay."
This mother-daughter interaction was fully witnessed by Sang Menglan, who was a bit surprised at the relationship between Xu Chuning and her mother; they didn't seem like mother and daughter, but rather like peers who negotiated on equal terms.
Moreover, You Shuzhen seemed to actually listen to what Xu Chuning said.
Perceiving this, Sang Menglan's eyes held a touch of appreciation and admiration when she looked at Xu Chuning. She admired independent girls, and although she wasn't very independent herself, some people just catch your eye at first glance.
It wasn't because Xu Chuning resembled Ye Qionfang that Sang Menglan found her comfortable to be around, unlike Xu Zhiyan, who was so confrontational and sharp-tongued.
