Chapter 192: Mommy Will Reward You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi was somewhat surprised. Her husband always managed to surprise her. He had connections at the Children’s Palace, the Public Security Bureau, and even the city’s largest department store—what a network!

These parents were quite adorable, weren’t they? Now they were all brave enough to speak the truth. Money truly had a persuasive power.

It was the first time she found it quite cute how the fence-sitters were being swayed by the wind—was this the difference between those in power and those below?

Chen Fu’s mother’s arrogant face turned unpleasant, looking as if she had swallowed a fly.

Despite feeling irritated and envious inside, the thought of losing her job as a salesperson made her feel powerless.

She pulled her son forward to apologize to Gu Zi.

However, Gu Zi replied, “It’s not me who deserves an apology. You should apologize to my two sons.”

Chen Fu’s mother approached Su Bing and Su Li to apologize, yet at this moment, Chen Fu, who had cried before, became resistant. Why was his mother making him apologize again?

“I don’t want to! I did nothing wrong. Mom, you taught me that if I don’t have it, just grab it, and if I can’t get it, destroy it. I’m just a kid, so as long as I deny it, nobody can do anything to me!”

The onlookers shuddered. In this day and age, such an unscientific approach to education?

This kind of mother was doing serious harm. One could easily imagine what kind of person this boy would grow up to be—a lifelong troublemaker.

At this moment, Chen Fu’s mother, already annoyed and envious, vented all her anger onto her child.

She pulled down Chen Fu’s pants and taught him a lesson on the spot. She gave him a few slaps on his butt. The protective look she had just now was completely gone.

“Apologize or not? I’ll make you apologize! Why are you talking so much nonsense?”

Under the forceful coercion, Chen Fu repeatedly apologized to Su Bing and Su Li, even kneeling down out of fear.

The onlookers shook their heads sympathetically; in truth, this troublesome kid was quite pitiable given the kind of mother he had!

Gu Zi observed quietly without saying much. She discreetly thanked Teacher Cai. Without his intervention, this matter might have dragged on. After all, Chen Fu’s mother was simply unreasonable.

After making Chen Fu apologize, Chen Fu’s mother took him away and did not plan to participate in the afternoon activities.

Su Li stood beside the ping-pong table, appearing somewhat unhappy.

Approaching him, Gu Zi inquired gently. He explained, “Mom, my brother and I aren’t conniving kids. We’re not petty, and we’re not selfish. Please don’t dislike us.”

Gu Zi knew that many people, due to not learning to share, eventually turned into selfish individuals. But more than that, she feared her children becoming unable to refuse, endlessly pleasing others while neglecting their own needs.

Someone who continually satisfies others’ demands will eventually make a mess of their own life.

If education had to lean towards an extreme, she’d prefer her children to be a bit selfish.

Su Bing, listening to Gu Zit s words, fell into contemplation. Their mother was truly different, notably progressive in her views. Was it solely because she was smart?

During lunchtime, Gu Zi took the two brothers to a nearby state-operated restaurant near the school, as a reward for them.

As she was letting the two boys order their meals, Gu Zi lifted her gaze and noticed a somewhat familiar figure. It was MO Li, a classmate of Lin Miao.

Simultaneously, MO Li also noticed Gu Zi. She hesitated for a moment, then without greeting, swiftly exited the restaurant, her eyes holding emotions that were hard to interpret.

Gu Zi felt puzzled. Why did it seem like the other person was avoiding her? A sense of unease began to well up within her.

“Mom, the beef meatballs are here!” Su Li called out, bringing Gu Zi back to the present.

Su Bing also asked with concern, “Mom, is everything okay?”

Gu Zi refocused her gaze and smiled, “Nothing, I was just thinking about something. Let’s eat, and after that, I’ll take you guys to the shop next door to play some video games.”

Su Li waved excitedly, “Mom, that’s awesome! We get to play video games too!”

Outside the restaurant, MO Li tried to calm herself, placing a hand over her chest.

In recent days, she had made efforts to understand what happened after Lin Miao and her classmates severed ties, and she was genuinely surprised by what she found out..
