Chapter 187: Are You Satisfied With Me Tonight?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingcheng was absent from the Peach Lotus Cup as a teacher, and she couldn’t participate in the tournament in her current condition.
Therefore, she asked Li Jing to bring Ziyu away. She had to prepare to deal with Ziyu’s mother.
She was about to contact someone on her phone when Ziyu’s words stunned her.
“Is it worth it?”
Ziyu nodded. “Yes, am I worth it for you to treat me so well, Principal?”
Gu Qingcheng looked straight at Ziyu. “Does it have to be someone else’s decision?” she asked.
Ziyu was stunned. “I don’t need anyone else to decide.”
“Since you don’t need others to decide, why do you still ask? Are you living for others or for yourself?” Gu Qingcheng pointed at Ziyu’s heart. “Remember, everything you do is for yourself, not for me.”
In an instant, it was as if all the power in the world had gathered on Ziyu’s body. All of a sudden, her body was filled with strength, and she revealed a smile that she had not seen in a long time.
“Thank you, Principal. I know what to do.”
Gu Qingcheng hugged Ziyu and said gently, “Life has never been fair. Don’t give up on yourself because of this unfairness. Go on, defend your dreams. As long as you get used to this unfair life, you will discover the beauty of the world.”
Ziyu hugged Gu Qingcheng, smiling from the bottom of her heart as she cried. “Yes, I will work hard. I will defend my dream.”
“Time is tight,” Li Jing said appropriately. “We have to hurry backstage now.”
Gu Qingcheng finally let go of Ziyu. She stood where she was and watched Li Jing leave with Ziyu.
She returned to the car and flipped through her business card. She called Fu Nanjue and told him what she thought.
Because she had to record her statement, she could not leave and could only wait for Ziyu.
She missed her husband, Huo Sicheng, and wanted to call him, but she was worried that she would disturb him at work. In the end, she sent him an emoticon on WeChat.
However, her husband, Huo Sicheng, did not reply to her WeChat message. The competition had started, and she was watching the live broadcast in the car.
Ziyu got the highest score perfectly. After that, she took Ziyu to record her statement.
When everything was done, Ziyu’s mother pulled Gu Qingcheng aside. “Principal Gu, can you not ask Lawyer Fu to sue my husband? He… Although he hit me, he’s still my husband. We’re husband and wife for a day. When he doesn’t hit me, he still loves me very much. He…”
Hearing this, Gu Qingcheng pulled Ziyu’s mother’s hand away from her sleeve and said, “It’s still the same stupid sentence. He’s so good that he hit you? Let me tell you, it’s your own business if you want to continue living with him. However, Ziyu is not only your daughter, but also a student of Royal Dance. As the principal of Royal Dance, I will definitely not sit idly by and watch her being abused.”
“If she falls out with her father, how is she going to go home in the future?” Ziyu’s mother cried. “The neighbors would also laugh at her for telling on her father. How could she get married in the future? If other men knew that she had a strong personality, she would not be able to get married.”
Gu Qingcheng knew very well that she could never wake someone who was pretending to be asleep.
There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. He mourned his misfortune and was angry that he did not fight for it. Her bad temper had already been angered by Ziyu’s mother’s cowardice, but she also knew that there was no point in getting angry.
In the end, she forced herself to calm down and said, “Zi Mama, I think you’ve misunderstood. It’s not your daughter Zi Yu who wants to sue her stepfather. It’s me, the principal! If you feel uncomfortable, you can call the police or find a lawyer to sue me. I have nothing else to discuss with you.”
“I agree with the principal.” Purple Jade suddenly said, “Sue, we have to sue. Mom, I’ve grown up too. You can’t leave stepfather. You can live with him. I’ll move out myself.”
“Purple Jade.” Ziyu’s mother looked at her daughter in shock. “Girls should be gentle and obedient. You… If you fall out with your father like this and he doesn’t give you money, what will you do in the future? You know that Mom doesn’t have a job. I…”
“Don’t worry about that.” Ziyu told her mother, “The principal has already arranged a place for me to live. He has also exempted all my tuition fees and even gave me living expenses. Now, I don’t have to rely on you and Dad at all. Besides, I usually work part-time as a waiter in a restaurant. The hard work is enough for my expenses.”
Gu Qingcheng saw the determination in Ziyu’s eyes. She said gently to Ziyu, “A girl has to have a life of her own. Although you’re working hard now, your life has just begun when you develop an independent mind and can live independently.”
After saying that, she glanced at Ziyu’s mother and said, “Girls shouldn’t think about being a full-time housewife. The first condition to be a full-time housewife is to have a strong family backing you up. Life was full of surprises. No one could guarantee that the people around you would support you for the rest of your life. Without a good family, your in-laws would not take it seriously. When you were bullied, you could only swallow your anger.”
“The scariest thing is that it’s easy for a full-time wife to be out of touch with society. It’ll be even harder for her to enter society after a few years. Nowadays, there were so many men who cheated and got divorced. If they met again, they would have nothing.”
Ziyu’s mother’s face darkened at Gu Qingcheng’s words.
“Purple Jade, have you really decided?”
“Yes.” Ziyu nodded solemnly. “Mom, don’t worry about me. On your side, I’ve already told you what I should have told you before. The house arranged by the principal is also for us to live in. You can move in with me whenever you’ve thought it through.”
Gu Qingcheng didn’t want to get involved in Ziyu’s family affairs. As the principal, she had already resolved her own issue of protecting her son. Seeing that Ziyu was so confident now, she definitely wouldn’t commit suicide. It was a good way to end one of her regrets.
“You and your daughter can talk.” As she spoke, she left and walked to Li Jing’s side. “Thank you, Master. Later, I’ll personally bring Ziyu back to her new residence. Moreover, I’ve already told you, send someone to keep an eye on Ziyu. Don’t let her scumbag father find a chance to see her. That kind of scumbag will definitely speak very harshly. I don’t want Ziyu to be disturbed.”
Li Jing had already heard what had happened from Gu Qingcheng. She glared at Ziyu’s stepfather angrily, then turned to Gu Qingcheng and said, “Don’t worry about this. I’ll handle it well. It’s very late. Go home early in case President Huo is looking for you everywhere.”
Gu Qingcheng chuckled. “Don’t worry, Master. My husband is very understanding. If I come home late, he’ll know that I’m busy with my own things and will wait for me at home.”
“I don’t know what’s going on between you and President Huo. You’re clearly enemies, but you’re suddenly so loving.” Li Jing replied with a faint smile. “No matter what, if you could praise a man, it means that he’s your beloved.” It’s not easy. After so many years, someone finally subdued my disciple.”
Gu Qingcheng winked at her master, Li Jing. “It’s not easy for Huo Sicheng and me to get to where we are today. Alright, I’ll be leaving first.”
“Go ahead,” Li Jing smiled.
Gu Qingcheng walked up to Fu Nanjue and smiled sweetly. “I asked you to appoint a lawyer for me. I didn’t expect you to come personally for such a small matter.”
“It’s better if I do Miss Gu’s orders myself. May I ask if Miss Gu is satisfied with me today?” Fu Nanjue asked with a gentle expression.
This sudden, inexplicable remark, with a hint of unexplainable meaning in it, made Gu Qingcheng freeze.
“Satisfied?” she asked Fu Nanjue.. Satisfied with what?”
