Jiang Yao could not react for a few seconds, and she watched as Mrs. Ge reprimand Ge Wenwen loudly. She felt that Mrs. Ge was doing this intentionally for her to witness.
"Mrs. Ge! Mrs. Ge! Stop beating the child." Jiang Yao tried to stop her, and thought deep down that if she wanted to discipline her child, she should do it at home, why would she do it in front of her? If she did not know any better, she would say that such an adult deliberately planned this with a six-year-old child.
Besides, she did not know whether the child was hungry for real or not, but the fact that the things the girl thought about her which was the same as her mother's, that was definitely real.
"Ay, children. The older they get, the more disobedient they are. Don't indulge her too much, just give her some biscuits or candy to send her away. If she takes more than that, it will only make this little lass more spoilt." Mrs. Ge gave her a helpless look as she gave Gu Wenwen a little kick, and turned around to give Jiang Yao an embarrassed smile. "I don't really have much at home to give her to eat, and she may not have eaten fully during lunchtime."
"..." Jiang Yao really did not know what to say.
What did she mean by just giving her some biscuits or candy? Was this not called indulging the child?
Mrs. Ge was definitely the first person that Jiang Yao had met in her entire life that rendered her so speechless.
"Mrs. Ge, it's not that I'm being stingy or anything, but I really don't have anything in the house." Jiang Yao said, " I rushed to board the plane after my class, and I only grabbed my clothes and necessities for the trip. Once I got off the plane, I came straight here. I wouldn't have anything like snacks in the house."
Disregarding the fact that there really was not anything in the house at the moment, even if they did have anything, Jiang Yao was not willing to give it to these kinds of people. Even if it was only a six-year-old child, she would not indulge them!
