Mr. Zhao looked straight at Gu Qingcheng.

“I just said that Ji Sisi is a good girl.”

Gu Qingcheng frowned.

“Mr. Zhao, you don’t have to be so cautious.”

Mr. Zhao’s white-gloved hand gently spread out.

“All I mentioned was that Ji Sisi is very suitable for Young Master. I didn’t say anything else.”

Gu Qingcheng took a deep breath. She really disliked Mr. Zhao’s charades.

She just wanted a definite answer—an answer that was enough to convince herself.

“I’ll start with Ji Sisi, right?”

Mr. Zhao looked at Gu Qingcheng for a while and nodded.

Gu Qingcheng let out a long sigh of relief when she heard the answer. She turned around and walked into the dining room.

After breakfast, Gu Qingcheng sent Huo Xuan to school.

Through the rearview mirror, she saw her son, who was sitting in the backseat. His expression and body were tensed, as if he was about to face a great deal of pain and torture in school.

She stopped the car across the road from the school and glanced at the parents who had come to send their children to school.

“Kid, I’ve sent you to school. You can go in by yourself.”

Huo Xuan thought that his mother would send him to the school gate, but she only sent him across the road and told him to enter the gates by himself.

His eyes were filled with disappointment for a moment, but he obediently opened the car door and got out.

“Mom, I’m going to school.”

Gu Qingcheng saw the disappointment in Huo Xuan’s eyes, but she still didn’t send him to the school gate. “Alright,” was all she said.

Huo Xuan stood on the spot with her lips pursed tightly and her hands clenched into fists, revealing her inner nervousness. Finally, she walked onto the zebra crossing to go to school.

Gu Qingcheng didn’t drive away immediately. She opened the car door and got out.

The children saw Huo Xuan and laughed. “The scary little white hair is here,” they mocked.

“Little monster, little monster. You bastard, you’re digging in the water. You’re digging in the mud. Hahaha…”

“Huo Xuan is so ugly. I’ll have nightmares whenever I see him.”

When one of the parents saw Huo Xuan, her eyes could not help but be filled with disgust and mockery. “Has the principal of this school never seen money before? All kinds of demons and ghouls attend his school. Even I was scared when I saw this ugly child, let alone ours.”

“That’s right, that’s right. My child comes back every day and says that he’s afraid of going to school. Now, he doesn’t even want to go.”

“I really don’t know what the principal and teachers think. Such a sick and scary child should be kicked out as soon as possible so as not to ruin the school’s image.”

The people around them mocked Huo Xuan as a chubby little boy walked up to Huo Xuan. He was tall and fierce. “Little bastard, where’s my protection fee? Give me the money.”

Huo Xuan pursed her lips and ignored him. She turned around and was about to enter the school gate.

The little fatty raised his hand and was about to hit Huo Xuan. “You ugly freak, how dare you ignore me.”

A pair of slender hands grabbed the chubby boy’s hand that was slapping Huo Xuan’s face.

“Who are you?” The little fatty turned his head and saw a beautiful auntie staring at him fiercely. He was not afraid at all. “What are you doing? Let go.”

Gu Qingcheng gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the chubby boy’s wrist. “You’re the one who bullies my son every day, aren’t you, fatso?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Ah… Mom, someone hit me!!!” The little fatty immediately let out a miserable squeal, like a pig being slaughtered. “Someone is hitting a child. An adult is hitting a child. Help…”

At this moment, a chubby woman was chatting with the parents of other children. When she saw her son being beaten, she rushed forward angrily.

“Damn it! How dare you hit my son?” She rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit Gu Qingcheng. “I’ll show you what I’m capable of. I’ll punch you into the concrete until you can’t dig yourself out.”

When Huo Xuan saw his mother, he was shocked and happy that his mother had come and even protected him.

“Mom, be careful.” When he saw that Fatty’s mother was about to hit her, he was frightened and rushed forward to protect his mother. “You’re not allowed to hurt my mom!”

Gu Qingcheng was tall and thin, but her body was filled with the strength of high- intensity training.

Not to mention, she had never lost when she was bored and became a boxer.

Her eyes turned cold, and her eyes were filled with killing intent. She quickly threw an uppercut, and the tall and chubby woman instantly fell heavily to the ground, bleeding from her mouth and nose.

“Did you see me hit your son with that dog eye of yours? I’m just holding his wrist. “Flames of anger burned in her eyes, but she smiled mockingly. “It’s so early in the morning, and I haven’t brought any dog food, so stop barking!”

Huo Xuan widened her eyes in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that her mother had knocked out the chubby woman with one punch.

“Mom, you…” He looked at Gu Qingcheng in shock. “That’s amazing…”

“I’m going to beat up your dad! What does this chubby woman think she is?” Gu Qingcheng looked at her son, Huo Xuan, and lectured him sternly. “When the little fatso asks you for money, you have to be brave enough to say no instead of using silence to resolve things.”

She added, “People will constantly push your limits. When Little Fatty pushed you for the first time, you should have pushed him back. If you compromise blindly, you’ll only make him push his luck, understand?”

“But… But hitting people is wrong.” Huo Xuan felt wronged. “Teacher taught

me…”

“It’s definitely not a good thing to beat someone up. However, since the fist didn’t land on your teacher, your teacher naturally wouldn’t feel any pain.” Gu Qingcheng said in a low voice, “Who doesn’t know how to use words? It’s just that it doesn’t hurt to stand!”

“Really?” Huo Xuan asked weakly.”

“I’ve seen a lot. Remember that,” Gu Qingcheng said firmly. “If you get hit, you have to hit back. Otherwise, you’ll get hit even more in the future if you just bear with it.”

“Mom told you that when I was in school, a girl from the class next door was beaten up. She told the teacher that the teacher only wanted to criticize and educate her. However, the girl’s mother asked her to call back, but she was too timid to call. After this matter ended, everyone dared to hit her because everyone knew that they hit her, but she didn’t dare to hit back. In the end, she was bullied and dropped out of school.”

“This is to tell you. When there was no way to bring justice to the victims, private revenge was necessary. Especially a group of children like you. You’re so good at bullying though you’re only in grade school.”

Huo Xuan’s courage surged after hearing her mother’s words.

“Mom is right. I should be braver. I shouldn’t have given in to Little Fatty, which is why he keeps bullying me.”

“That’s right. You should be brave.” Gu Qingcheng was glad to see Huo Xuan’s enlightenment. “A person shouldn’t be pitied. He should be loved and admired. Respected, do you understand?”

Huo Xuan nodded solemnly. “I understand, Mom.”

“Mommy, save me, save me…” The little fatty wailed, “Murderer! This damned woman wants to kill me…”

The chubby woman wiped the blood from her nose. She looked at Gu Qingcheng, who looked like she was going to tear her apart at any moment, and cowered in fear.

“Let go of my son. My son didn’t do anything.”

“Your son hit my son!” Gu Qingcheng’s gaze was as sharp as a knife as it landed on the chubby woman.” He has to apologize to my son.”

“So what if you hit him? He’s just a child. Why are you, an adult, fussing over a child?” The chubby woman was angry but did not dare to step forward.” You’re too petty.”

“If I kill your mother and tell you, I just killed your mother! Why are you making such a big fuss! You’re too petty,” Gu Qingcheng retorted with a grin. “It’s fine to say that, right? It’s just your mother’s death.. Why make such a big deal out of it?”
