Free Web NovelChapter 656: Chapter 654: Headstrong Susu
Gu Jiaojiao watched her daughter’s innocent little eyes dart around, so angry she wanted to march right over and slap her.
Her two sons were exceptionally gifted and had been specially admitted to exclusive schools.
But Susu, aside from her innate divine strength, had an IQ only a smidge higher than an average child’s, so she had to start from preschool and follow the standard path.
For the first two years, her two older brothers had protected her, and with her parents’ tireless guidance, Little Susu had never caused any major trouble.
Ever since her two brothers left for a residential training school this semester, she’d been in the same class as Second Brother Gu’s son and Mu Ziquan’s youngest son.
In the past two months, this was the third time Susu had injured someone badly enough to land them in the hospital!
Although the other kids weren’t seriously hurt the first two times, it still broke their families’ hearts!
And Susu was only five! How could she rest easy if this continued!
"Mom~ I know I was wrong. I promise I won’t be so heavy-handed next time, okay?" Little Susu tugged on Gu Jiaojiao’s sleeve, swaying it back and forth.
"Su Shuochi, did you hear what your daughter just said?" Gu Jiaojiao exploded with anger.
Seeing her mom was truly furious, Little Susu guiltily shrank closer to her dad. "Daddy, you have to help me~~"
Su Shuochi shot his daughter a glare. ’This naughty girl really needs a lesson!’
’How dare she ask me for help right in front of my wife? Isn’t she just putting me in a tough spot?’
His wife and his daughter were the two apples of his eye; he couldn’t bear to see either of them upset. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Susu, tell Daddy, why on earth did you get into a fight with your classmate? And why did you hit him so hard he ended up in the hospital?"
Little Susu glanced at her dad, then stole a furtive look at her mom. ’How am I supposed to explain this!’
’Should I tell Mom and Dad that the little fatty was harassing the girls? Would they even believe me?’
After all, the little fatty was only six years old!
Seeing his daughter hang her head in silence, Su Shuochi had no choice but to brace himself and plead for her. "Honey, Susu is still..."
"Su Shuochi, were you about to say she’s still little? Take a look at the outrageous things she’s done.
She’s only five, and she already dares to beat someone into the hospital. Give her a little more time, and she’ll be trying to tear down the heavens!"
After hearing his wife’s worried accusations, Su Shuochi frowned and glared at his daughter.
He had expected his precious daughter to cry and make excuses like before, or to act completely unrepentant, not caring one bit about the fight.
But he never imagined that today, his precious daughter would be so perceptive, keeping her head lowered like a guilty little quail and letting her mom rage on.
It made him feel a bit unsettled for a moment. His daughter rarely ever acted like this.
Even when she caused trouble, she would usually wheedle and act cute to cool her mom’s anger.
Her sudden quiet and obedient demeanor now made him even more worried. "Susu, Daddy believes that if you hit someone, it must be because they did something wrong."
Little Susu’s eyes lit up. Just as she was about to explain to her dad, she heard her mom’s lion-like roar.
"Su Shuochi, I know you dote on your daughter, but you can’t just stand by and watch her become completely lawless, can you?"
Seeing her husband’s indecisive expression, Gu Jiaojiao laughed in fury. She knew all along he wouldn’t have the heart to scold their daughter.
In truth, she didn’t want to blame her daughter either, but how could she let her continue down this path!
"Besides, this incident involves the young son of a foreign investor. What are we going to do if they pull their investment because of this?"
Hearing this, Su Shuochi decisively chose to side with his wife, his stern gaze falling upon his daughter.
His voice turned cold. "Susu, give me a straight answer. Why did you injure him so badly?"
Little Susu’s head snapped up, her big eyes blinking a few times.
’What does Dad mean by that? He switched sides that quickly?’
’If I don’t speak up now, I’m definitely going to get a taste of Mom’s bamboo cane tonight!’
So Little Susu pouted and said, "Lin Xiaopang was acting like a pervert to the girls in our class. I couldn’t stand it, so I beat him up."
"What? The nerve! Acting like a pervert at such a young age! Susu, you did the right thing! Forget just sending him to the hospital.
Even if you’d sent him to the morgue, our Susu would still be innocent! Didn’t the teacher do anything?
Su Shuochi, call Susu’s principal right now. Tell him we’re on our way to the hospital to see her teacher.
I need to get to the bottom of this with the teacher. I’m calling Ji Yan and Lanlan right now." Gu Jiaojiao was furious again.
Little Susu hadn’t expected her mom to believe her without a second thought and even praise her. ’If I’d known this would be the result, I wouldn’t have been so hesitant!’
「An hour later」
Su Shuochi drove his wife and daughter to pick up Second Sister-in-law Gu and Little Gu Wei on their way to the hospital.
Xiao Jiyan was already waiting at the hospital entrance with her youngest son, along with the mothers of two other female classmates from their compound.
Mu Ziquan was usually with the military, so it was normally just Xiao Jiyan at home with their two sons and Mr. Mu.
When Gu Jiaojiao’s group entered Lin Xiaopang’s hospital room, Susu’s teacher was inside, profusely apologizing to the boy’s grandmother.
Susu’s teacher was a woman in her forties. She froze the moment she saw Gu Jiaojiao.
Her surprise was unconcealed. ’Where did this fairy come from!’
"Which one of you is Susu’s mother? Grandma Lin has been waiting for you to come and apologize," the teacher said sternly.
"Teacher, I’m Susu’s mom, Gu Jiaojiao. We’ve come here to get an explanation from you."
"..."
The teacher was still stunned. She hadn’t expected Susu’s mother to be so young and beautiful.
Moreover, she was dressed impeccably. The teacher’s tone involuntarily became much more polite. "Susu’s mom, hello. If you would just apologize nicely..."
"Apologize? We’re not here to apologize. You must be Grandma Lin. Your grandson publicly pulled down his female classmates’ pants at school. Tell me, should my daughter have hit him or not?"
Grandma Lin was a daughter of the Bao Family. Although her husband’s Lin Family had declined, her own family was at the height of its power.
She planted her hands on her hips and demanded arrogantly, "My grandson was just playing around with his classmates. Do you really need to blow this all out of proportion?"
Gu Jiaojiao asked coldly, "Teacher, Lin Xiaopang has harassed his female classmates multiple times. Why haven’t you said anything about that?
My daughter only hit him because he pulled down a girl’s pants first. That kind of behavior is perverted. Teacher, you tell me, did he deserve to be hit or not?"
Listening to Gu Jiaojiao’s aggressive words, the middle-aged teacher felt a piercing pain in her temples.
Grandma Lin was too much. She had been causing a scene since the morning, her voice more grating than static. The teacher’s nerves were shot.
She inwardly blamed Susu. ’Out of all the children in the class, this girl is the biggest troublemaker, always trying to be a hero.’
’That Lin Xiaopang kid is a bit of a menace, but none of the girls whose pants he pulled down complained. Why did Susu have to meddle in other people’s business?’
’Now the class is in turmoil, and I have to endure the demonic screeching of the little fatty’s grandmother.’
’I have the worst luck, always running into unreasonable parents. Look at this aggressive mob of parents, they’re like a bunch of bandits and thugs.’
’Can’t they just make a big problem small and a small problem disappear? Why can’t they be a little more peaceful?’
