Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
âHow do you even teach your child? Not only does he pick up the behavior of those hooligansâfighting and causing trouble, he is also extremely rude to his elders. He has no manners at all! Itâs the parentsâ fault when a child isnât taught well. I really donât understand how you teach him at all!â
Her crude words caused Ms. Yuan to furrow her brows, but she maintained her silence and did not interrupt her ranting to avoid getting herself into trouble.
Suddenly, Youyou let out a cold snort and asked, âAuntie, have you studied before?â
âWhat do you mean?â
In an extremely icy tone, he pressed on. âI just wanna ask if you know the meaning of the phrase âliving under a wellâ?â
Lin Fengâs mother flew into a rage.
âSeeing your expression, it seems that you donât know what it means? Ah, you are truly uncultured!â The boy smiled.
âYou...â She turned to face his father. âWhy arenât you disciplining him?!â
The man pretended not to hear what she had said as he pinched his sonâs cheek gently.
âSon, be good; donât spout the truth.â
â...â
âPfft!â
The lad was thoroughly amused. He said with a look of disdain, âDaddy, our teacher taught us that good children shouldnât lie!â
He paused for a moment before continuing. âAuntie, itâs your precious son who hit me first! As the saying goes, âDonât do unto others what you donât want them to do unto you.â You criticized for being violent and for fighting, but did you consider that itâs your precious son who started it first? Even if you said that itâs school violence, it wasnât caused by me still! What I did is legitimate self-defense in the eyes of the law! Do you understand? I heard that my classmateâs father is a judge. You canât be unfamiliar with the law, I presume? Youâre not present then, yet how can your words decide whatâs right and wrong? You donât have a say on whether I am disciplined or not. Perhaps you should be more aware of your position before speaking so that you can avoid making a fool of yourself!â
âThis is... utterly disgraceful!â The womanâs temper was ready to hit the roof.
The father and son were really trying to make things difficult for them!
âIâve already given my advice earlier! Please donât make things any more difficult! An arrogant son with an equally arrogant fatherâare you not afraid to suffer when you walk out into society?â
She kept criticizing the man as she prattled on like a fishwife shouting abuse on the street. âIâm giving you an ultimatum! Are you going to apologize or not? Either way, itâs useless. I want you to bring your kid along and compensate us at our door personally. If not, I will never let this matter rest!â
âOh?â
The man let out a sneer, his lips curving into an icy, impatient arc. âAre you threatening me with your words?â
The woman smirked coldly. She was someone who could not read othersâ expressions; thus, she could not fish out the terrifying red flags hidden behind his gaze. Thinking that the man was cowed by her threat, she pretended to be gracious as she raised her head in nonchalance. âIf your attitude was polite to begin with, everything would be easy to discuss! I can tell that you are young, thoughâabout 25, perhaps? Looking at how you are dressed, in your suit and all, I believe you wonât be as insensible as your child.â
