"Wisdom, I went home last night and asked my mother, she didn't participate in the activities of the alumni association in the United States back then, she was very active, what about your father? My mother said that there were several Mr. Tao back then. ”

Before class the next day, a classmate suddenly asked.

Tao Zhizhi shook his head: "It's really unfortunate, my father went on a business trip." ”

"Your dad seems to be very busy, I've never seen him come to school to pick you up."

A classmate asked.

"That's because my wise father came back from studying in the United States, and my mother is also studying in the United States, so she is indeed more pragmatic and attaches great importance to cultivating her children's independent spirit."

Another female classmate said.

"Really? Wisdom, your father studied in the United States. It's amazing. ”

"Yes, yes, I used to think that Tao Zhizhi was a free student."

This sound almost made Tao Zhizhi jump in fright.

Because she's really a free student. The Second Girls' High School is a homeschool, and the board of trustees has always been tight-lipped about free students, because the school's philosophy is to treat all students as kind, regardless of family background.

Therefore, now the students don't know the secret of Tao Zhizhi, and the classmates are just stumbling into them by mistake. She breathed a sigh of relief when the class bell rang and the teacher walked into the classroom with a book in his hand.

Tao Zhizhi's heart gradually settled down, I am really grateful that the class bell rang at this time, otherwise those students would have to hold on to themselves, and they would ask a lot.

She regretted a little that she had to say that her father was a student in the United States, but she met Lin Yan, whose mother was also a student in the United States, what if Lin Yan always came to ask her father about things? How long can you avoid such an excuse as a business trip?

It's a day, maybe Lin Yan will forget about it right away.

Thinking like this, Tao Zhizhi couldn't help but secretly glanced back at Lin Yan, this Miss Lin's father is from Fujian, from a big family, and I heard that he is from the same family as Lin Xu, one of the six gentlemen of Wuxu. With such a background, my mother still came back from studying in the United States, and what a great family can send her daughter out to study in this era, it's really ...... Why didn't I have such a good life?

Maybe her eyes were full of envy unintentionally, Lin Yan smiled at her, and Tao Zhizhi hurriedly grinned the corners of her mouth and smiled.

The movements of the two of them all fell in the eyes of the teacher on the podium, it happened that Tao Zhizhi's last exam was not very ideal, and the teacher had a thorn in his heart, and as soon as he was in class, he saw her and Lin Yan secretly smiling at each other's eyes, and he didn't know what small actions he was doing in private. He immediately shouted: "Tao Zhizhi, you come to answer this question." ”

Tao Zhizhi stood up a little dazed, her table mate found that she was a little absent-minded, and whispered the teacher's question just now, Tao Zhizhi hurriedly answered.

She answered perfectly, and the teacher looked at her deeply: "Tao Zhizhi, you have to remember that you are different from others. ”

It's a tactful reminder.

Tao Zhizhi's identity as a free student is to be kept secret, not every teacher knows it, this teacher is still the director of teaching, she knows this matter very well, she has to take care of the student's face, and she can't say it too explicitly. She also likes this hard-working girl, knowing that it is not easy for her to be able to study in the second daughter's middle school from a poor background, she doesn't want Tao Zhizhi to mix with those rich ladies, and gradually wear out her fighting spirit, after all, she is from a poor background, and the road she has to take is much more difficult than most of her classmates. Tao Zhizhi sat down, in a very bad mood, and when the teacher turned around to write on the blackboard, he squinted and glared at the teacher: Is this a threat to me? What do you say I'm different from others? Does it mean that I will disclose my identity as a free student if I don't listen well to the class?

Tao Zhizhi was thinking nonsense in this class, as soon as the bell rang after class, the teacher went out with the textbook, and when she left, she deliberately glanced at Tao Zhizhi, which made her even more depressed.

"Tao Zhizhi, what do you mean by the teacher's words? What does it mean that you are different from others, and what is the difference between you and us? ”

A classmate asked.

For the whole class, Tao Zhizhi was thinking about this question, and sure enough, these female classmates were extremely smart and sensitive, so they immediately asked questions. It's really because it's been more than a year since the start of school, and everyone hasn't seen Tao Zhizhi's parents come to school, even if they invite parents to talk, her parents haven't appeared.

"Because I've always been number one."

She tilted her head back and had a confident smile on her lips. Everyone was speechless, yes, Tao Zhizhi has always been the first in the grade, and the teacher is right to say that she is different from others. How can a student who is always the first in the name of the card be the same as everyone else?

Lin Yan smiled: "Is it convenient to tell me your father's name?" I went home and asked my mom if she knew her. ”

"My family has a very strict upbringing, and I really can't call my father by his name in front of others, I'm embarrassed."

Tao Zhizhi's expression was not arrogant, his face was calm, and he looked noble and calm.

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's really a big family, there are so many rules." ”

"Hey, isn't your dad a beauty? Americans don't pay attention to these things, and some of my father's friends who have studied in the United States have heard them say that the United States is very open, and people there can call their parents by their names. A classmate said suddenly. Lin Yan nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, my mother also said it." ”

"I'm sorry, but everyone's education and family rules are different."

All the students saw Tao Zhizhi's head raised slightly, his chin was also raised, and his eyes were full of confidence, which was a kind of slanting look at everyone, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

This female classmate is really arrogant to the extreme.

Lin Yan stopped talking, and silently looked at a few dead friends, and everyone knew it.

When school was over, Tao Zhizhi walked out of the school gate by himself.

Lin Yan and the others deliberately slowed down, they didn't want to walk with her.

Tao Zhizhi didn't look back, and left when he got to the door.

"Look at her virtue, as if she were the best in the class."

A girl shook Lin Yan's arm: "Look at her strength, her waist is so straight, her chest is high, and she is not ashamed." ”

"That's right, it's like she's the only one in the class, she's so tall, when she's the girl of the month."

The girls were chattering, and they were all dissatisfied with Tao Zhizhi.

"When I went home and asked my mother, I couldn't believe who her father was."

Lin Yan said.

"It's actually very simple, do you know the private detective? Something that can be found out for a few small bucks. ”

Another girl surnamed Li said.

"Wow, what a good idea, Li Nan, you are so smart to think of this method."

"This is not gentlemanly behavior." Lin Yan hesitated.

"What a gentleman, we are women, little women." The girls giggled and laughed, and at the moment they didn't realize that they were opening a Pandora's box, and no one could control what happened in the future.
