About half an hour before the afternoon class, Gu’s father and Mrs. Zhen finally met at the guidance office of Qi City No.1 High School after more than a month.
The moment they saw each other, sparks and lightning flashed in their eyes! They glared at each other with mutual disgust!
Director Luan didn’t care about that! Pointing at Gu’s father’s nose, he began to scold!
"Are you the father of student Gu Qing?! How did you educate your child! Adult matters should be resolved by adults, how can you bring it in front of children?! Even letting her bring private matters into the school! Do you know how badly this has affected the school?! Such behavior is absolutely not allowed in our school! Since she dared to do this, she should be prepared to face the consequences!"
Gu Qing stood by her father, her face swollen like a pig’s head, covered tightly with a mask.
Hearing about the punishment, she immediately started crying! "Why am I the only one being punished?! I was beaten up! Is it right for Zhen Yu to hit people at school?!"
Director Luan thought to himself — you totally deserve it!
But outwardly, he still had to keep his composure and said, "Of course it’s not right! We’ll talk about you two fighting at school in a moment! Right now, what I want to talk about is how you barged into the broadcast room to make announcements and stir up trouble at school! Father of Gu Qing, what do you think should be done about this?!"
"Me? How, how would I know!" Gu’s father dodged the question.
"You don’t know?! Your daughter spread rumors about me at school, you don’t know but you still have to solve it for me! Otherwise, I’ll spread rumors too! I’ll say you abuse your family! Say your entire family acts like mad dogs, biting everyone they see!"
"You! You," Gu’s father’s fingers trembled with anger!
Director Luan quickly pulled a face and admonished, "Ms. Zhen! Please mind your language in front of the children!"
"...Oh!" Mrs. Zhen reluctantly closed her mouth, but then suddenly added a sentence!
"Tell him to hurry up and clear up the matter about the reputation!"
Internally, Director Luan complained, "Such rude words! What do I owe you..."
But in reality, he still said to Gu’s father, "Since you don’t know, then let me suggest a solution!"
The moment he said that, Gu’s father’s heart sank! Mrs. Zhen, however, looked at him hopefully.
"The two of you, come with me to the school broadcast room later! During the break of the next class, please have Gu Qing’s father make a formal apology on behalf of your daughter for slandering others! And Ms. Zhen, please as a mother correct your own name, correct the name of your children! And don’t forget to declare that using school resources for personal matters is only this once! Not to be repeated! Both of you need to apologize to the entire school for the severe impact of this incident! Did you hear me clearly?!"
Gu’s father nodded reluctantly.
Mrs. Zhen wasn’t happy either! But for the sake of her and her children’s reputation, she nodded much quicker than Gu’s father.
"And you two! Go back to the classroom and attend class! And tonight each of you write a self-reflection of three thousand words! Tomorrow during the major break, present it in front of the entire school! Did you hear that!"
"We heard it! Goodbye, Director Luan!" Zhen Yu quickly agreed and turned to leave!
But Gu Qing dawdled, unwilling to go, "I’m not going back! I want to take leave! Can the self-reflection wait until my injuries heal?!"
"No! Even if you take leave! You must come to school tomorrow morning to present your reflection!" Director Luan said unyieldingly!
"Then... can I wear a mask while I do it?" Gu Qing, with tearful eyes, asked.
Director Luan looked at her sternly and nodded in consent.
Because Mrs. Zhen was back, Zhen Yu had dinner with her brother and mother in a private room at a restaurant outside the school.
After they sat down and ordered, Zhen Yan began to apologize to his sister.
"I’m sorry, little sister! I kept it from you because I didn’t want you to worry about the family’s issues every day! I really didn’t expect Gu Qing to,"
Seeing the sincere remorse on Zhen Yan’s face, Zhen Yu spoke indifferently.
"That’s enough! I understand."
"Little sister..." Zhen Yan was a bit worried that his sister was truly angry with him.
But Zhen Yu looked at him gently and said, "I understand! You don’t need to say anymore."
Zhen Yan’s intentions were crystal clear to her!
His heart was ultimately too pure and kind, still unable to be harsh to his own biological mother. The source of this content ɪs novᴇlfire.net
But he never forced Zhen Yu to be soft-hearted like him, so he couldn’t be blamed entirely for today’s matters!
It’s just that Gu Qing hated Zhen Yu unreasonably, hated her, just her alone!
The siblings then fell silent all of a sudden.
Although Mrs. Zhen felt the term ’family’s issues’ was not pleasant to hear, she looked from one to the other and finally spoke. "Xiao Yu! Mom has truly made up her mind to get a divorce this time!"
After a while, Zhen Yu responded, "... Okay."
Love it or not... Anyway, I don’t care anymore.
Seeing her daughter’s reaction, dissatisfaction arose in Mrs. Zhen’s heart! But her son was right in front of her eyes, so she couldn’t show it. Although Zhen Yu was not engaging, Mrs. Zhen continued to talk on her own. "Xiao Yu! Mom has really seen the light! I absolutely won’t remarry! From now on, ah, I will just live a good life with you three kids!"
"Three?!" Zhen Yu didn’t look at her mother but directly turned to Zhen Yan.
A look of shame immediately appeared on Zhen Yan’s face. "Little sister, Mom said she wants that child..."
"Do you remember what you originally told me?!" Zhen Yu’s tone was still indifferent.
Mrs. Zhen felt annoyed when she heard this! Before her elder son could speak, she interrupted.
"What did your brother tell you?!"
Zhen Yan quickly volunteered an answer: "I said that the child with the surname Gu should be raised by the Gu family..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhen’s expression changed several times, but she finally forced a smile and said, "Hey! Mom has already decided! Once the divorce is finalized, I’ll immediately have his surname changed! He’ll take my surname! And use the nickname I gave him as his official name! Call him Cheng Ci! This name, ah! Mom specifically picked it based on your names..."
Zhen Yu did not make any sound but scoffed silently in her mind.
Isn’t Mom really believing that by changing his name, he will no longer be of the Gu family’s blood?!
Zhen Yan, however, seemed quite happy and even inquired further, "Mom! Are you serious?!"
"Of course, I’m serious! Mom can’t wait for him to have nothing to do with the Gu family anymore!"
"That’s easy! I’ve already inquired about it for you! Gu must have caught you at last, he will definitely urge you to go through the divorce proceedings with him! Just say this then..."
