Before she could give any other reaction, the man was already walking towards her, holding Xiao Beibei’s small hand.
Song Song’s heart tightened abruptly, her mind a flurry of blankness.
How could Xiao Beibei be his son?
Wouldn’t that make her an accidental stepmother...
Moreover, this son didn’t like her at all.
As they came closer, Xiao Beibei raised his little arm and began to accuse in a low voice, "Dad, it’s this woman, she bullies me at school all day, makes me write this and that."
"Mr. Xiao, hello!"
Song Song was a bit bewildered at this moment, speaking in a dry and unnatural manner.
She was so nervous now that she didn’t even have the strength to pick up a cup. Who would have thought that Xiao Jinghuai actually had a son, coincidentally also her student.
Xiao Jinghuai always had an exceptional memory, so naturally, he remembered the woman the old man arranged for him. Besides, her shocked expression after seeing him could only confirm that she was that Song Song.
Very good, excellent.
The man’s long eyebrows slightly raised, looking casually at this "wife", with deep black pupils seemingly hiding a torrent.
The girl was wearing a light yellow down jacket, her skin was fair and translucent, with a pair of expressive eyes, not large but very spirited, completely bare-faced, small stature, limbs slender and long, but her face was chubby.
She wasn’t particularly beautiful, more of a girl-next-door type, timid in a way that reminded him of... a little rabbit.
He had no interest in such a woman.
Song Song had no idea what to do now, the man’s sharp gaze invisibly pressured her to lower her head. Nervously, she gathered her long hair draped over her shoulders, "Um, Mr. Xiao, your child has not been performing well at school. In fact... we should have spoken to you earlier but never had the chance... he fought with a classmate today, and refused to apologize afterwards. I think as a parent, you should pay attention to this situation."
"So you want me to scold him or beat him?" Xiao Jinghuai replied indifferently, his voice low and pleasant.
"No, no, no!" Song Song anxiously raised her head, but instinctively dodged his gaze when their eyes met, "I didn’t mean that, I just hope you spend more time on your child. Actually, Bao Bei is very smart, really very smart..."
"Teacher Song, don’t you think that’s something the child’s mother should handle?" The man interrupted directly.
"Huh?" Song Song was a bit confused, her small face flushing red from nervousness. She had a very bad habit of blushing completely whenever she got nervous.
Did he mean her with what he said just now?
Legally, she should be Xiao Beibei’s mother now!
So, was he blaming her for not properly disciplining Bao Bei?
But before this, she hadn’t even known of Bao Bei’s existence!
"Daddy, I don’t want a stepmother, stepmothers are all bad, they abuse children and won’t feed me, I don’t want a stepmother, no!"
Xiao Beibei suddenly threw a tantrum, continually wiping his little face with his small hands. At this point, Song Song noticed he wasn’t really crying but was pretending to.
It turned out, he didn’t know his dad had already remarried over a month ago, and he already had a nominal stepmother. What could she do? He didn’t like her in the first place, and if he knew she was the stepmother, wouldn’t that make him dislike her even more?
Song Song awkwardly waved her hands, "Bao Bei, not all stepmothers are like that. Actually... there are good ones, who will really like you and be willing to play with you, be your friend!"
After saying this, Song Song glanced at the man’s expression on his face, seeing him looking at her meaningfully, inexplicably her heart skipped a beat!
