Chapter 885 (1/2)

Intrigued by the comment, Helian Wei Wei lifted her eyebrows as she gazed toward the source of the voice.

A well-dressed rich lady was standing nearby with a handbag sling over her left shoulder. Meanwhile, with her right hand, she was holding the hand of a boy who was absurdly fat.

That boy was obese, yet he was still licking his popsicle gleefully. Perhaps there was an issue with his upbringing, as the Little Fatty looked at others with a surly gaze. He had somewhat been stained by his mother’s arrogance, riding his high horse as he looked down his nose at everyone.

“Mom, who is this country b.u.mpkin?”

He looked slightly older than Helian Qingchen, and he did not forget to shoot a glance in Helian Wei Wei’s direction as he spoke.

The rich lady gave a low laugh and her meaning was self-evident. “How can you call him a country b.u.mpkin? She was my cla.s.smate before. She’s just a little skint now. You must not look down on them, understand?”

Skint? The little boy chuckled, loath to befriend the fat boy. He looked at Helian Wei Wei. “Pretty Wei Wei, I’ll go in first. Remember what I said, don’t run around.”

Helian Wei Wei always thought the expression on her son’s face resembled His Highness to a certain degree. She immediately nodded without replying.

The rich lady looked at their reaction and burst into laughter. “Wei Wei, I had not seen you for three years. Back then, you were a celebrity in university. Men are certainly the creatures of circ.u.mstances. I thought you became a lawyer. But, from what I see now, that is probably not the case.”

Helian Wei Wei stared at her as her smile grew broader. “That’s right, I didn’t become a lawyer. Why? Is being a lawyer very important?”

“Well, not really.” The rich lady carried an elegant air whenever she spoke. “I only wanted to catch up with you as we hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Hehe. Since you’re not a lawyer, what are you doing now?”

Helian Wei Wei looked at her son’s back as he staggered into the school. There was no need for her to stay at the gate of the kindergarten for any longer. She replied in a nonchalant manner, “I run a garage.”

“Garage?” The rich lady raised her tone, somehow condescendingly, before she chuckled. “Well, that must be tough for you, Wei Wei. My husband has invested some funds in this kindergarten, and he is now the one of the directors on the board. Let me know if you need any help. Sometimes, self-esteem isn’t worth much.”

Helian Wei Wei yawned. “No, thanks.”

Helian Wei Wei continued to wear the unconcerned expression on her face. The rich lady recalled her days in the university, where Helian Wei Wei had always been like this. She often skipped cla.s.ses and appeared to be very mysterious. But, whenever she was present, she would steal everyone’s thunder.

Back then, many students in the university tried to court Helian Wei Wei. Even until today, the rich lady was upset whenever she thought about the large number of admirers Helian Wei Wei had.

If the then-admirers found out that Helian Wei Wei, who was once the top law student, was now running a garage, it would definitely create an interesting scene.

It’s probably a good time for reunion.

The rich lady pa.s.sed her handbag to the butler at her heels before she told the Little Fatty, “Son, you must let mommy know if someone bullies you, understand? You must listen to your teachers, and don’t eat in cla.s.s.”

“Then, you come and pick me up right after the school is dismissed.” The Little Fatty was very clingy. He pouted before he continued, “Why the school that dad invests in will accept a country b.u.mpkin like him? He looks more handsome than me and is going to overshadow me.”

The rich lady snickered. “That’s enough now. After all, both of you are of different backgrounds. Besides, how is he better than our Xiao Hang? You’re taller than him by a head.”

Hearing the compliment, Little Fatty lifted his chin high and puffed his chest out.

The pa.s.sersby giggled as they overheard the conversation. Your son is indeed taller than him, but why don’t you say that your son is also thrice as fat as the other boy?
