Chapter 111 - You Are Disobedient

However, she wanted the Ji family’s wealth. She still fantasized that her son would be able to obtain more wealth for her, allowing her to live a rich and luxurious life.

Fortunately, Ji Mo’s father was a womanizer. He did not even spare a glance at the children at home. Ji Mo, who yearned for love, could only submit himself in front of her, begging for motherly love. His mother controlled him, making him an obedient child.

Wu Tong had long been used to giving a little motherly love to keep Ji Mo around her. At this moment, she revealed a fake loving expression on her face. “Are you angry that mom scolded you last time? Ji Mo, I scolded you for your good.”

She had some ulterior motives, but she wasn’t even willing to put in the effort to perform. This little bit of love and gentleness was all fake. Ji Mo could see the disgust in his mother’s gaze.

Ji Mo observed her pretentious expression, and his knuckles turned slightly pale as he clenched them. After a while, he called out, “Mom.”

In the past, Ji Mo had longed for the warmth his mother’s love gave him, making him immerse in it even if it was fake. He had lied to himself, thinking that his mother loved him. However, after feeling genuine care and love, he realized the woman who called herself his mother had poor acting skills. It was almost impossible for him to deceive himself anymore.

Wu Tong did not notice this at all. She even lifted her chin arrogantly. “You have forgiven mother, right?”

“Of course,” Ji Mo lowered his head. His natural curly hair hung down as well, covering his expression.

“I knew you are a good child,” Wu Tong gave a perfunctory compliment. She could not wait to throw out the bait. “Ji Mo, I heard that you guys have a parent-teacher meeting in a few days, right?” “Next Wednesday at nine in the morning in our classroom,” Ji Mo trembled and asked calmly, “Mom, are you coming?”

She could not be bothered to attend any parent-teacher conference! A look of disdain flashed across Wu Tong’s eyes. Then, she felt proud that she could easily control Ji Mo’s emotions. She pretended to be troubled and frowned. “Ji Mo, I want to attend. But I am facing a little trouble recently.” She paused, and she revealed her greedy intention. “Ji Mo, help mom do something, and I’ll your parent-teacher meeting, okay?”

Ji Mo lowered his head. After a long while, he asked softly, “Do you know what grade and class I’m in?”

“Why don’t you just tell me?” Wu Tong was a little impatient, “don’t you want to help

mom?”

“So, you don’t know, mom,” Ji Mo seemed to be smiling as he muttered softly. There was a hint of self-mockery in his voice. “You don’t even know what grade I am in.”

“Ji Mo!” Wu Tong lost her patience when her son did not answer her question. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you getting disobedient?” She was too used to lecturing her son like training a puppy. She was used to seeing him kneel humbly in front of her. He threw away his self-esteem for the little bit of love she had given him.

Therefore, she was angry when Ji Mo did not answer her question. She lifted her hand with a beautiful manicure and slapped him. “You have grown disobedient, haven’t you? How dare you disobey me!

Unfortunately, her slap did not land on the young man’s face as she had anticipated this time.

Ji Mo took a step back and avoided her slap. He lifted his face and stared at her as he chuckled. “I’m not obedient. What will you do about it, mom? Are you going to do what you did to me when I was young? Will you be satisfied just by locking me in a small dark room and listening to me cry until my voice is hoarse and I can’t make a sound?”

Ji Mo was laughing, but he looked sad, as though tears were about to roll down his cheeks anytime. He looked helpless and pathetic.

“You!” Wu Tong did not care if Ji Mo was sad or not. She just felt that Ji Mo did not listen to her anymore. The feeling of her son being out of her control made her very angry. “Ji Mo, do you think I can’t do anything to you because you have grown up? Don’t forget that I’m your mother!”

“I know you’re my mother,” Ji Mo smiled bitterly and lowered his head again. His voice was calm and without any fluctuations, as though her actions couldn’t affect him. However, a drop of crystal-clear tears dripped onto the ground, wetting the floor.

“Someone will attend my parent-teacher meeting. You don’t have to trouble yourself to attend, mom. It’s fine even if you don’t want to attend. I… have long gotten used to it,” Ji Mo paused and chuckled before continuing, “after all, you haven’t attended any of my parent-teacher meetings before.”
