Chapter 499 - There were Rules in a Childs World, Too (1/2)

”I don't care.” Song Wan lost her temper when she heard what her son said. ”I just want my granddaughter to be happy so I will be happy, too. Chu Lui, that is also your daughter. I have been taking care of her since the day she stepped foot into our house. As her father, are you that unwilling to do something for your daughter? Chu Lui,”—Song Wan voice turned frosty—”if you don't do this, you don't have to come back home ever again. I won't let Chu Xiang call you 'Daddy', too.”

She slammed the telephone down once she was finished. She was so angry that her chest hurt.

Chu Lui kept the phone in his pocket. He knew his mother had made up her mind this time. He smacked his lips together. Why hadn't they protected him like this when he was young? Did they honestly believe that by sparing the rod, they would be spoiling him? Now, they had treated their granddaughter like a precious gem, not subjecting her to the slightest injustice.

”Mr. Chu, about this…” the director asked Chu Lui cautiously, ”do we still need to amend the results?” He really hoped it wouldn't happen.

”Yes, proceed.” Chu Lui put both his hands into his pockets. His silhouette seemed heartless. Although he had his doubts, he had made his choice in the end. He was still him. As for the others, he would let it be.

He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he found the rays of sunlight coming from above his head, glaring. If one was to ask him if he had exacted his revenge against Gao Yi, would he have said no?

Judging from his mother's character, she would make sure that the first place was taken away from this child and given to Chu Xiang. Her affection for Chu Xiang could be described as outrageous in the eyes of the others. It might be wrong to say such things about his own mother, but that was the truth. With the addition of Chu Xiang in the family, he could feel the family's values crumbling. Whatever he had learned and upheld for so many years was for naught.

The teacher from the smaller class was looking through the results, but she was getting curious. Rainy was clearly the one who had won first place, and even the director himself had made that announcement. Why had it changed to Chu Xiang in the end? There was nothing good about her artwork. She wouldn't be able to squeeze her way into the top ten, not to mention the first place. Besides, there were only fifteen children in the class.

The teacher had sought the director out intentionally to voice her concerns. She thought he had made a mistake. However, he had simply told her there were no mistakes and to make the announcement.

Finally, the teacher understood what had happened.

Everything in their kindergarten could be bought, including their director.

She truly felt like a sinner when she was looking into those innocent eyes. She was telling them a lie and deceiving the pure uncorrupted souls as well as her own conscience.

She gave a gentle cough to hide her embarrassment.

”Children, hello, everyone?” She greeted the children like she always did.

”Hello, Teacher.” The childish voices replied. On each face, there was complete trust and adoration. It was very difficult for one to make a mistake. She couldn't understand why one would choose to deceive such naive, kind, and lovable children.

The teacher searched for a few times before she finally took out the list in her hands and placed it on the table. She smiled so widely that she was squinting.

”Children, we have a conclusion for the drawing competition. This time, the winner for first place comes from our class.”

Fat Boy puffed out his chest.

”Rainy is definitely first place.”
