Chapter 1045: Don’t You Know What Your Own Child Is Like?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Exactly, exactly. Children who grow up in such families won’t turn out well either. They will definitely be profligates who don’t know how to do anything.”
“If the child is so violent from a young age, the parents must be quite the fiends as well.”
“Precisely. In that case, how fierce must his mother be at home to raise such a cruel child? He’s going to get involved in school violence at such a young age.”
These people were really speaking… more and more out of line.
Lin Che drew in a deep breath. She could no longer tolerate it and stood up abruptly in the corner.
“I think you guys have got it wrong.”
They froze. They had not expected someone to be at the side.
As they were occupied with the conversation, they had actually not realized that there was someone still sitting in the corner.
They looked up only when they heard her voice now. As they looked at the person standing in front of them, all of the mothers could not help but scrutinize her. Who was this?
All of them were also dressed very neatly and tidily. Because they were here for a parent-teacher conference, they had specially dressed better than usual and had all done their makeup properly. But in front of Lin Che, they paled in comparison.
The two of them had not really spoken earlier. The person who had spoken the most was Caicai’s mother. Caicai’s mother was a very fashionable mother. She was very good at dressing up and was dressed completely in mink cashmere. She was carrying a bag that was worth more than ten thousand dollars. There were big curls and waves in her hair. She was in high heels and there was a thick layer of powder on her face. But despite this, it was unable to hide the wrinkles that had already appeared on her face. Because this was already her second child, even if she usually wanted to maintain her appearance, looking after her children was an exhausting task. Furthermore, she loved playing mahjong in her free time. Her complexion was particularly terrible from staying up every day. How could she not age quickly?
The other person was alright too, but she was merely a typical housewife. She stayed at home every day, waiting for her husband to bring home money from his business dealings. Although she lived a comfortable life, she no longer liked grooming herself after staying at home for so long.
The moment Lin Che stood up, everyone started looking her up and down.
Whose mother was this? She looked completely different.
Lin Che had merely tidied herself up a little and made her eyes look a little different than usual. She even wore a cap and had taken her shades off. She was also wearing a wig, so although she still looked elegant and beautiful, she looked different from the Lin Che on television.
She looked very similar. However, that’s all that people could think. They would not be sure if she was Lin Che.
Of course, the mothers did not think of Lin Che, either. They merely looked and Lin Che and wonder who this woman was.
“Why? What do you want?” Caicai’s mother asked.
Lin Che looked at this woman who had just been jabbering on and on with complete confidence. “Have you confirmed that what your child said is true? You simply believed what he said and then told other people how horrible the other child was when you’ve never even met him.”
So it was because of this. They looked at this person who had suddenly stepped forth to defend someone else against injustice. Judging by her appearance, they did not think that she was a mother here to attend the parent-teacher conference either. Thus, they said bluntly, “Are you here to poke your nose into other people’s business? What do you know? Of course, a young person like you wouldn’t understand the worries of us mothers.”
Another mother quickly joined in, “Precisely. Don’t you know that a bad apple can spoil the whole barrel? It’s because children like this exist that we’re even more worried that our children will be affected.”
“It’s not your child who is living in an environment with school violence.”
“What if that child bullies our child? We’re just too worried. That’s why we said that.”
Lin Che looked at them. She felt that they had not understood at all.
“Get this straight. I’m only asking you people how you’re so sure that there’s school violence here. How are you so sure that the child whom your children talked about is a bad apple? Have you met that child? Have you seen his family? Without investigating the matter, you babbled nonsense. By spreading false rumors like these, don’t you think that it’s a form of hurting that child?”
Caicai’s mother glared at her and asked, “Are you a teacher here?”
Lin Che replied, “No.”
“Then, why are you poking your nose into our affairs?”
Lin Che looked at them. She crossed her arms over her chest and said, “What did you say just now? What did you say about the child? His family definitely neglects him and no one will come to attend the parent-teacher conference too. Since he’s so violent at such a young age, his family must be harsh, right? Huh. I’ve never felt that our family was harsh. We will definitely attend the parent-teacher conference too. Our attitude towards the child is more conscientious than anyone else. Thus, we absolutely will not allow people to make up things about our child casually!”
Their child…
What this woman meant was that child… was hers?
Just now, they had said unpleasant things about the child in front of his mother…
The atmosphere immediately turned a little awkward. But they really had not expected this woman to be a mother.
Three of them were at a slight loss for words, but Caicai’s mother came forward again after some time.
She first sized Lin Che up maliciously. Then, she scoffed and asked disdainfully, “Why? It was your child we were talking about. Don’t you know what your child did? Bullying other children, is that reasonable? So what if we talked about him? You yourself ought to know what your child did.”
Lin Che gazed at her. “What evidence do you have to say that my child bullied others?”
“What evidence? Most people know how your child is. It’s not as if I’m making up a story. My child clearly told me that your child acts like he’s a king. He often bullies other children and even chased another child out of school. I’m sure you know about this incident, right?”
Of course, Lin Che knew about this. But it was not at all as they had described.
Lin Che said, “Did you understand the situation before spouting nonsense?”
“My child told me that!”
“A child’s words. Did you even verify it?
“Children’s words carry no harm. They’re truthful!”
