Chapter 801: A Good Start

What an idiot. The parents walking near the cla.s.s leader shouted.

Youre a pig, a dumb and fat pig.

When Xiao Qin and I walked back through the school gates, we saw the cla.s.s leader and an adult woman walk out of the school building. She had dyed brown hair, she dressed kind of like a punk, she took large strides, and she seemed angry.

It just so happened that Liu HuaiShui lost control of the ball when he tried his new technique and the basketball flew straight towards the female parent. She didnt even dodge, but raised one of her legs and kicked the basketball over the wall.

What terrifying leg strength. Liu HuaiShui felt some discontent, but was dominated by her imposing manner and could only run outside the school to look for the basketball.

I looked towards the punk parent with fright.

No, no way. Dont tell me thats the cla.s.s leaders mother. What exactly happened in Shanghai for her to become that?

I was still a bit too far and couldnt see her face clearly, but it felt like she was worlds apart than her picture.

Wheres her elegance? Wheres her out of this world beauty? Its like one minute youre watching the ballet Swan Lake, then it suddenly turns into one of Guo DeGangs comedy acts.

Although I like Guo DeGangs comedy acts more than ballet, I cant accept the sudden change! I said I wanted to take a look at the cla.s.s leaders mother, but what I really wanted was to see what the cla.s.s leader will look like in the future. Cla.s.s leader, will you turn out like this in the future too? Your mother looks like she was broken by pressure from work, so will you also get broken when you become a police officer?

After I got closer, I realized the female parent didnt really look similar to the cla.s.s leader, but she still looked familiar.

I cant believe you got the time for the parent-meeting wrong. You cant even tell the difference between 12pm and 2pm. Our daughter is kind of dumb because she inherited it from you.

The female parent cursed while walking down the steps of the school building. The cla.s.s leader seemed to be trying to say something to her, then the door of the school building was opened again and a clean-cut man with hair shaved close to his scalp came out.

It looks like the two of them came together, they might even be a married couple.

The female parent glared back at the man and snorted:

I was really blind back then, why did I marry you? I would have gotten a divorce a long time ago if it wasnt for Yue Yue.

The man said: Lets see you get a divorce!

Do you think Im afraid of getting divorced? Ill get a divorce from you once Yue Yue goes to university.

Save it, do you think our child can even get into a university with her grades?

Im going to get a divorce even if she doesnt get into a university. Ill go straight to a civil affairs bureau once Yue Yue graduates from high school, so you better not chicken out when the time comes.

Whos scared? The one whos scared of getting a divorce when the time comes is a son of a b.i.t.c.h.

Ill take the house and our daughter, you get nothing.

d.a.m.n, youre heartless. How did I even fall for you

The couple kept arguing as they walked towards the school entrance. The cla.s.s leader tried to mediate and didnt really get any results, but I had a guess to whose parents they were.

They must be Xiong YaoYues parents and I can call them papa bear and mama bear. Xiong YaoYue doesnt like to stay at home because her parents always fights, so she would rather go play basketball or stay overnight at an internet cafe.

Based on the situation, it looks like papa bear and mama bear were blaming each other for getting the times wrong. Now both of them are trying to leave, so the cla.s.s leader was trying to persuade them to stay.

Can the parents please stop fighting.

I was now at a distance where I could hear what the cla.s.s leader was saying.

Winnie no, Yue Yues grades are a bit low, but its not like its the end for her. If she gets more points in PE cla.s.ses, she can still have a selection of high schools to choose from

The cla.s.s leader carefully chose her words. I knew Winnies grades were awful, so it was more practical for her to become Ai Mis bodyguard than to keep studying.

Papa bear and mama bear stopped in their tracks when they saw the cla.s.s leaders sincerity, but they didnt stop arguing.

I, on the other hand, noticed both papa bear and mama bear had light skin. It looks like Winnies brown skin was caused by the sun.

Right now its already 12pm, so I wont stop the two of you if youre only going to leave for lunch and come back at 2pm. The cla.s.s leader said cautiously, If you guys are mad at each other and neither of you come, then it might give Yue Yue a negative influence and its not a good start for her third year.

Mama bear said: Shes always so inconsiderate, so why would it be a negative influence? She once broke her arm but still stayed overnight at an internet cafe, and made her parents look all over the place for her.

Papa bear looked up at the sky and said: It looks like our daughter takes after you more, thoughtless and heartless

What did you say, you b.i.t.c.h.

Anyway, I have plans for the afternoon, you stay for the parent-teacher meeting. Ill leave first, since it wasnt necessary for both of us to come.

Why should I listen to you? I also have plans for the the afternoon, so you stay for the parent-teacher meeting.

Papa bear and mama bear fought over who could leave first while the cla.s.s leader wasnt able to remedy the situation at all. At this point, the three of them were about to meet me and Xiao Qin.

I hesitated a bit and thought about what I could say to make at least one of them stay behind.

Everyone was busy with work since the parent-teacher meeting was held on Monday. Not all of the parents could make it, so they let us know in advance and will read what our teacher wrote in the qq group chat afterward.

Winnies situation was different. Since her parents already came, it would look bad if they had a huge fight and left.

Middle school students actually cared a lot about what others think of us. Since we arent very mature, we actually care more about what others think than adults.

The reason Winnie became a tomboy was one, genetics, but it could also because she grew up in a family where her parents fought and said they wanted a divorce every day. If she didnt become extremely pessimistic, then she would be the opposite and become extremely optimistic. Its as if Winnie tanned her skin and let herself become the type who is more active and doesnt think much in order to escape the stress caused by her family.

I kind of felt a bit sorry for Winnie. Even though she talks about her parents always being at odds, but its nothing serious. I vaguely felt that if papa bear and mama bear got along, then Winnies growth might have been slightly different. Its not unimaginable that she wouldnt have gotten a tan and maybe even turned into a (at least in appearance) girly girl.

But even the cla.s.s leader was unable to convince them, so I dont know what I could do. While I was hesitating, the girl next to me, Xiao Qin, took the initiative to step forward.

Uncle Xiong, Auntie Xiong, can I say something?

Xiao Qin had a quiet and docile appearance, and stood timidly before the two of them. Her fear of men only manifests in front of males her own age; Uncle Xiong was clearly in her uncles age range, so having a conversation shouldnt be a problem.

Auntie Xiong probably didnt have the surname Xiong, but she went silent seeing a well-behaved girl wearing a 28 Middle uniform stand pitifully adorable in front of her. She temporarily ceased arguing with her husband and waited to hear what Xiao Qin had to say.

Since his wife stopped arguing, papa bear also quieted down and looked at Xiao Qin.

My, my parents are divorced

Xiao Qin said her opening remarks.

Papa bear and mama bears expression changed. They recalled what they were arguing about earlier and looked ashamed.

Im good friends with your daughter, Yue Yue, so seeing her parents arguing, I feel responsibility to say a few words. If I say something wrong, please dont be angry

Xiao Qins completely submissive att.i.tude made papa bear and mama bear unable to be angry.

I used to be a very cheerful child, but since my parents divorced when I was in elementary school, Ive become very introverted. I dont want Yue Yue to have the same experience

Hey, didnt Auntie Ren and Huo ZhenBang get divorced when you werent even in kindergarten? Are you lying to make your words more convincing? But I guess its a white lie

Xiao Qin even started to wipe her tears as she talked.

Uncle Xiong and Auntie Xiong, could you stay for Yue Yue? Even if you do get divorced in the future, at least let Yue Yue have some good memories. The chance of both my parents attending a parent-teacher meeting for me is impossible even in my dreams

Her crying had an effect. The cla.s.s leader had been presenting facts and trying to reason with them in the background, but papa bear and mama bear werent be rational in the first place. However, papa bear and mama bear couldnt resist against Xiao Qins tear attack.

Hey, dont cry. It seems you really are Yue Yues good friend. It should be enough for me to stay? If her dad wants to leave, let him go.

Whos leaving? Youre the one who should leave. I care about our daughter more than you do.

Care my a.s.s, you dont even know your daughters birthday.

Isnt it May 5th? How could I forget such an easy date? We just celebrated it a few months ago

Under Xiao Qins tearful narration, papa bear and mama bear returned to the cla.s.sroom. It seemed they had eaten lunch in advance.

The cla.s.s leader gratefully nodded at Xiao Qin and accompanied the two parents back to the cla.s.sroom.

I couldnt hear what papa bear and mama bear said as they walked back.

If it were me, I would have at least ask for Xiao Qins name. The forgetfulness and carelessness of Winnies family must be inherent. Its not only inherited through blood, but also contagious between husband and wife.

To be honest, I admire Xiao Qin for being able to cry in public. Im a man who doesnt easily shed tears, especially in front of others, so persuading Winnies parents to turn back was something only Xiao Qin can do well, no one else could replace her.

) Hehe After wiping the tears from her face with a tissue, Xiao Qin put on a happy expression again and reached out her hand to me.

Ye Lin cla.s.smate, Ive done my first good deed. I should get a star, right? Not only can I get a star, but I also helped Winnie. I feel so happy now.
