The skinny child’s parent noticed Gu Qingcheng asking her a question and immediately shot her a look.
“Shh, lower your voice,” she hurriedly whispered, “If you speak up for me, I promise not to forget about your money.”
Money was the last thing Gu Qingcheng needed, yet she was being humiliated by the man in front of her.
NO!
To be more precise, she had been humiliated by this woman in front of her son!
The bodyguard protecting her wanted to push her away, but she signaled him to back off with a look.
“Baby, who do you think pushed whom first?” she asked Huo Xuan gently.
Huo Xuan didn’t expect his mother to ask him to answer this question. He was stunned for a moment, seeing the gentleness and seriousness in his mother’s eyes.
He knew that his mother would protect him, and she had taught him to be brave and upright.
“Your son pushed someone else first,” Huo Xuan replied.
Hearing Huo Xuan’s words, Gu Qingcheng threw the money in her hand at the parents’ faces.
“Bribe me? I don’t lack money!”
The parent who had wanted Gu Qingcheng and her son to lie for her looked extremely embarrassed.
“Did you hear that? You pushed my son first,” the fat child’s parent scolded the thin child’s mother, “You’re really immoral. You didn’t even apologize when you hit my son’s head. You even pulled someone else to lie for you. You’re a person with bad morals!”
“You… You…” The person who was scolded was so ashamed that they couldn’t speak.
“Apologize to my son!” the fat child’s family shouted angrily.
“I’m sorry.”
“Baby, you did the right thing,” Gu Qingcheng watched as the whole thing ended. She kissed Huo Xuan’s cheek and said, “You have to admit when you’ve done something wrong. You can’t lie.”
“This is because your mother taught you well,” Huo Xuan said obediently.
“You and your son shouldn’t care about such a trivial matter,” a parent nearby added, “It’s unnecessary. You’re meddling in other people’s business. All of us saw that skinny child pushing someone. Actually, it’s fine if someone gets pushed at the amusement park. It’s not a big deal as long as the child isn’t seriously hurt.”
Gu Qingcheng wasn’t happy to hear that. She snapped, “Mind your own business? My son was pushed down, and I haven’t even settled the score with that person. How can I be a busybody if I explain the whole thing clearly? Does it really have to wait until a child is seriously hurt before holding someone accountable? Tell me!”
Huo Xuan saw that his mother was angry and quickly comforted her. “Mom, there’s no need to pay attention to such people.”
“No,” Gu Qingcheng glared angrily at the person who had criticized her. “Speak!”
“I mean no harm,” the man mocked Gu Qingcheng. “Why are you being so fierce? I’m just saying that you don’t have to care about these small things. Just take your child and leave. Why are you standing out?”
“Standing out? A person must have at least three principles and morals,” Gu Qingcheng raised her voice and became even angrier. “You said you saw the whole fight, and instead of standing up for me, you’re blaming me for being nosy?”
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. “The world doesn’t lack good-for-nothings like you! When you encounter something unfair, you can choose to hide in a corner and remain silent, but don’t mock or slander me, who is braver than you, because the sunlight we fight for will shine on you!” The parent dragged the child away after Gu Qingcheng’s retort.
“Mom, don’t be angry,” Huo Xuan comforted his mother gently. “It’s not worth getting angry over an outsider.”
If Gu Qingcheng hadn’t brought her son to play today, she wouldn’t have let go of the person who had just insulted her.
She looked at Huo Xuan’s worried expression angrily and quickly took a few deep breaths to calm herself down so that she wouldn’t scare her son. “Mom, don’t be angry. This is a small matter.”
Huo Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his mother had calmed down.
“Mom, I’m hungry. Let’s go have dinner,” he changed the topic. “I saw that the children’s meal here looks delicious. Can we have dinner here tonight?”
“Of course,” Gu Qingcheng replied.
In the dining room, Gu Qingcheng booked a private room for the convenience of eating.
Huo Xuan looked at the cute-looking children’s meal and happily ordered it.
Gu Qingcheng checked the time and contacted Huo Sicheng.
Since it was already six o’clock, she and her son wouldn’t be returning to Wanmei Villa for dinner. She had to inform Huo Sicheng in advance.
Her call was picked up instantly. She said gently, “Hubby, what are you doing?” Huo Sicheng’s eyes were filled with gentleness. “I’m still busy with the company.”
Gu Qingcheng listened to Huo Sicheng’s deep, magnetic voice and smiled happily. “I thought you were on your way back to the villa at this time.” “You and your son aren’t home,” Huo Sicheng said softly. “I’ll be back later.”
“I’m not happy.” Gu Qingcheng’s face turned sour when she heard Huo
Sicheng’s words. “I told you not to investigate me, and you still did this.”
“I didn’t check on you,” Huo Sicheng immediately explained. “I called back to the villa to ask if you and Huo Xuan were home. The maid said that you weren’t home, so I knew you weren’t there.”
Gu Qingcheng was stunned. No one was protecting Huo Xuan during school?
However, Huo Sicheng had told her that Huo Xuan was protected. “What exactly are you trying to say, Mr. Zhao?” she asked, her frown deepening..
