Chapter 196: Gossip about Qin Xiaobai
“President… President Gu…”
The woman became less aggressive than before at once. Or rather, she was immediately dispirited.
“You and your husband are both eloquent. I remember that branch of the Fang Group called Minimalist is an animation company. Working in such a small company is such a waste of your talents.”
Gu Zijin said that in a flat tone.
The woman held her son tightly, feeling that something bad was going to happen.
“Tell your husband that you two should quit working in Minimalist from today. The crosstalk clubs suit you two better.”
Qin Muxuan was startled. No wonder they called Gu Zijin a decisive and cruel animal. He would never leave his enemy a way out.
There was a hopeless look appearing on that woman’s shocked face, “President Gu, it’s all my fault. I haven’t taught my child well. Please give us another chance. I promise you that I won’t talk nonsense anymore!”
Qin Xiaobai dragged the hem of Gu Zijin’s clothes.
Gu Zijin looked at Qin Xiaobai with no expression on his face, “Xiaobai, what do you want to do?”
Qin Xiaobai walked to the other kid tamely, “What you said about my mother today really irritated me. When I explained to you that my dad and mother are not jerks, you even hit me.”
Everyone in the room stopped breathing while looking at Qin Xiaobai.
The other boy looked at his mother who already freaked out and also felt helpless.
Qin Xiaobai was just like an adult right now when he was trying to talk seriously.
“I am still very annoyed now. However, as our teacher has told us, to err is human. If you can realize your fault and apologize to me, we can still be friends.”
The teacher had been quite terrified when Gu Zijin was talking. However, after she heard what Xiaobai said, she felt relieved right away and also greatly touched.
‘That’s my student! Such a great boy!’ She thought.
Qin Muxuan lowered her head. Since Qin Xiaobai had his own thought, she would like to respect his decision.
“What the hell have you said?! Apologize now!” The woman pushed her son violently.
The boy sobbed with his head lowered, “Sorry, Xiaobai, I shouldn’t have called your dad a jerk, called your mother a bitch and called you a bastard. Actually, I don’t even know what those words mean. My mother always said that, so I just learned from her.”
Everyone was speechless.
The woman almost vomited blood and then she slapped on her son’s face fiercely. The boy’s crying as well as the woman’s abuse mixed together.
Gu Zijin shook his head and tried to take Qin Muxuan away. He didn’t want Qin Muxuan who was still pregnant to be influenced.
However, that woman suddenly rushed to him and dragged his sleeve.
“President Gu, President Gu, please don’t trust a little boy. I’ve never said anything like that. He learned those from Weibo! Please forgive me, I…”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Gu Zijin shook the woman’s arm away with a disdainful look.
“My son is generous enough to forgive you, so I am going to let this go this time, but it doesn’t mean I’ll tolerate you forever. If I hear such dirty words coming out from your mouth again…”
Gu Zijin squinted his eyes and said in a cold voice, “You and your family can no longer live in this city.”
“I see…”
Gu Zijin ignored the woman’s bowing and scraping and left with Qin Muxuan. Qin Xiaobai went back to his class then.
“Let’s go. I’ll drive you.”
“Don’t you need to go to work?” Qin Muxuan asked.
“I was going to, but since I am out already, I should send you back first.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t refuse him because she knew that would be a useless move anyway. She happened to have a lot of things to ask him.
Then she followed him into the car.
“Ask anything you want to.”
“How did you know about this?”
“The teacher called me.” Said Gu Zijin offhandedly.
Then she realized that Gu Zijin had already told the teacher in the kindergarten that he was Qin Xiaobai’s parent, as she expected.
“If Xiaobai hasn’t forgiven them, you really would send the couple to the crosstalk club?”
“Of course.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t know what to say. ‘Shouldn’t he teach Xiaobai to be tolerant?’
“Have you met Yan Yuxiao yet?”
Gu Zijin shook his head and drove on. It was clear to see how impatient he was when hearing the name of Yan Yuxiao.
“No, I heard from the people in the hospital that she hasn’t fully recovered and is still in a comma. Now it’s not the best time to visit her.”
Qin Muxuan nodded.
When she was about to arrive, she said,
“You can put me down here. It’s very close.”
Gu Zijin nodded. After he left Qin Muxuan there, he turned the car. He had already been quite vexed today. As he thought of Yan Yuxiao, he just got more anxious.
He turned the steering wheel and drove to his company.
At night, when Qin Xiaobai came back home, he was obviously in a better mood. Perhaps it was because he had surprisedly got a new friend after what had happened today.
“What happened? You look so happy.”
“Nothing.”
Qin Muxuan poked him and said, “Just tell me what it was. I am so curious.”
“Mom, don’t you know that curiosity kills the cat?”
Qin Xiaobai asked that in a serious tone.
It would be better if he hadn’t said that. Now Qin Muxuan was even a little angry.
‘You naughty little boy!’
“Are you sure you don’t want to tell me?” Qin Muxuan then tried to tempt him with her eyes squinted, “How about the Spiderman Basketball?”
“I want it!”
“Then tell me!”
Qin Xiaobai hesitated for a second and then decided to tell the truth for the figure he dreamed of.
“Wanwan, a girl from my class, said that I am as handsome as daddy. She also said that she loves me most.”
‘Huh, is that a love confession in an indirect way…? Wow, Xiaobai has already been favored by girls at such a young age.’
Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan got excited right away.
“Then this Wanwan in your class…”
“Dabai, I’m still a child now. You shouldn’t expect any gossips about me!”
Qin Muxuan cleared her throat and shook her head, “Ah-hem, I won’t, of course I won’t.”
“What about the figure you have agreed to give me?” Qin Xiaobai looked at Qin Muxuan with an excited look.
Qin Muxuan always kept her promise to Qin Xiaobai. Then she bought that figure online at once, which cost her a lot of money indeed.
“By the way.” Qin Muxuan suddenly remembered something, “Xiaobai, the director of the play said that you need to attend the rehearsal tomorrow afternoon after you finish school.”‘
“OK!”
Hearing that, Qin Xiaobai only got more cheerful.
Next day in the afternoon, Qin Muxuan brought Qin Xiaobai to the large theatre.
It was not far from their home, so it only took them ten minutes to arrive.
The director liked Xiaobai a lot. The moment she saw the boy, she could not stop talking.
“Xiaobai, you’ve become taller, also a bit thinner. Haven’t you rested well lately?”
Qin Xiaobai patted on his chest and said, “Sister Director, don’t worry. I eat and sleep very well!”
Sister… ‘No wonder everyone likes him. My boy is so sweet.”
Qin Muxuan sat in the spectator seats from a short distance. Right now, her baby bump was already noticeable. She watched Qin Xiaobai’s rehearsal over her own belly.
