The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649: Chapter 645: Not Indulging in the Slightest

Hu Xiuqiao smiled gently and spoke politely.

A smile and tone like that were certainly hard to refuse.

Gu Jiaojiao glanced at the stack of exams but didn’t reach for them. "I remember, these are from the exam given in first period this morning. A whole day has passed, and Teacher Hu still hasn’t graded them. It seems your professional skills are a bit lacking!"

"I remember we’ve always had ten teachers for ten classes, and everyone managed to get by. So how is it that Teacher Hu can’t seem to finish grading exams and homework these days? Is your workload too heavy? If that’s really the case, I can speak to the principal about adjusting your duties."

Hu Xiuqiao’s face went pale at Gu Jiaojiao’s words.

If she were to go to the principal over this, such a stern man would surely start to question her teaching ability.

Hu Xiuqiao quickly made an excuse.

"Teacher Gu, I was just asking for a favor. If you don’t want to, just say so. There’s no need to be so aggressive!"

"Besides, I just don’t feel well."

"Everyone feels unwell from time to time!"

As she spoke, Hu Xiuqiao took the exams back. Gu Jiaojiao’s words had made her realize that the other woman only looked delicate and soft; her personality was anything but.

Gu Jiaojiao scoffed. "In that case, Teacher Hu, you’ve been feeling unwell for an awfully long time. It’s been a month, hasn’t it?"

"If you’re really so unwell, you can ask for a few days off to rest. After all, if your sickness gets serious, falling behind on grading homework and exams is one thing, but it would be a real problem if it starts to affect the children’s learning."

When Gu Jiaojiao decided to confront someone, she showed no mercy. Her words left Hu Xiuqiao speechless.

However, since it was just the two of them in the room, the situation wasn’t too embarrassing for Hu Xiuqiao.

She bit her lip, her face a mask of grievance, looking as though she had been bullied.
