Chapter 211: Chapter 211: You Are Not a God

After the city meeting ended, a group of factory directors gathered for a smaller meeting.

Shen Que was asked a series of questions by several factory directors about clothing size, shoe size, and other details.

Initially reluctant, Shen Que became cooperative after hearing someone say Jiang Cheng would definitely like it.

The group of factory directors exchanged knowing smiles, all understanding without words.

Meanwhile, Ms. Jiang Cheng at the conference center was struggling while riding a bicycle.

Jiang Cheng wore thick wool pants, a green leather hat, cotton gloves gripping the handlebars, huffing and puffing while riding an old bike with a large burlap sack attached.

She arrived, puffing billows of white smoke, at the post office.

Jiang Cheng hurried to mail letters and packages.

After mailing them, she planned to first go to Teacher Lü’s home, then to Principal Wang and Manager Guo’s places.

While riding, Jiang Cheng thought: having good relations with people is quite exhausting.

Fortunately, the wind was at her back towards Teacher Lü’s house, saving her quite a bit of energy.

Just as she reached Teacher Lü’s doorstep, Jiang Cheng realized something was happening.

Teacher Lü’s home had its door wide open, and even from outside one could hear Teacher Lü’s angry voice.

Jiang Cheng hastily got off the bike and rushed inside without even parking it properly.

"Mom—how can you be so selfish? What’s wrong with wanting a better life? Do we all have to stay in this poor place like you?"

After a voice filled with questioning and blame, there followed Teacher Lü’s trembling but angry voice.

"Get out!"

Rushing in from the outside, Jiang Cheng saw Teacher Lü sitting on a chair, clutching her chest, with a green face.

"Teacher Lü!"

Jiang Cheng dashed over, supporting Teacher Lü as she rose, stroking her back gently.

"Don’t get angry, you need to care for your health before you can scold them."

Jiang Cheng supported Teacher Lü with one hand, while her other hand found a small medicine bottle in her pocket.

She quickly poured out a few small black pills and brought them to Teacher Lü’s lips.

"Open your mouth and hold it."

"Listen to me, you’ll have more energy to scold later, otherwise you’ll regret not performing well afterwards."

Jiang Cheng’s unique comforting words miraculously stabilized the raging Teacher Lü.

Of course, it might also have been the medicine taking effect.

"Who are you?"

A loftily masculine voice sounded, but Jiang Cheng didn’t turn around, focusing only on Teacher Lü’s condition.

After feeling Teacher Lü’s breathing stabilize slightly, she finally glanced at the standing man and woman.

"It’s you two, huh?"

After Jiang Cheng mockingly spoke, she stood up and gazed at the man and woman who bore some resemblance to Teacher Lü.

"I’ve always seen you two in photos, didn’t expect to see the real deal."

"Who exactly are you? Why are you in my mother’s house?"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the man beside her also piped up: "Exactly, this is our family business, not needing a stranger’s interference."

The man and woman in front were indeed Teacher Lü’s son and daughter.

Teacher Lü had once said they both attended university.

A university from ten years ago.

Faced with questioning, Jiang Cheng remained unhurried and calm, looking at the two people and saying: "Only shameful family matters don’t need outsiders to intervene, seems like you two are lacking confidence here."

Jiang Cheng’s incisive words made the man and woman’s faces instantly look sour.

"You—"

"Don’t bother with her."

The man pulled the sister back, then looking at Teacher Lü said: "Mom, it’s already decided, we’re just here to inform you."

"Chang Hua and I will take the ship leaving in a week, when we reach Country M, I’ll write you a letter."

Originally calm, Teacher Lü’s breath again became rapid.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly helped Teacher Lü stand, comforting her:

"Don’t be angry, it’s not worth it, don’t be angry!"

"And you all, shut up!"

Jiang Cheng glared wrathfully.

Teacher Lü stood holding Jiang Cheng’s hand, looking at the son and daughter before her, questioning word by word with tears of blood: "Why? How has Hua Xia wronged you?"

"How can you abandon your roots, how can you abandon your motherland?"

"Is this how I’ve raised you!"
