Chapter 700: Teacher Zhou Apologizes
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Like many children, Su Li held a fundamental reverence for his teachers. Hence, he felt an innate sense of trepidation towards them.
Now, his homeroom teacher was a woman named Zhou, who seemed to have a particular dislike for him. Her demeanor would shift abruptly, one moment calm, the next stormy, which frightened Su Li. He quickly lowered his head, apologizing, “Teacher Zhou, I’m sorry.”
Gu Zi noticed her son’s fear and felt a pang of concern. She couldn’t understand why the teacher would behave in such a manner. She could ignore the teacher’s nonsensical words, but she couldn’t stand by and watch her son be wronged. She stepped forward to reason with Teacher Zhou.
“Teacher Zhou,” she began, “handing out test papers is a task assigned to you by your superiors. If you don’t want to do it, you can report it to them and refuse the task. You can’t blame the child for this, especially when we were called here instead of picking up the papers ourselves.”
Gu Zi shielded Su Li from Teacher Zhou, who, seeing that Director Du had not yet returned, became even more disdainful. She crossed her arms and looked Gu Zi up and down, sneering, “Don’t try to pin any blame on me. Just because you’re articulate doesn’t mean you’re right. In this society, status and position are what matter most, and you have neither. But some people do.
“Even if your two sons are admitted to this school, whether they can stay is another matter. I can see that you’re the type of woman who likes to take what isn’t yours and force your way into circles where you don’t belong. I predict trouble for you in the future!”
With that, Teacher Zhou turned to leave.
Gu Zi found her attitude extremely problematic. She was certain she had never offended this woman, but it was clear that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes. As for who that might be, she had no clue.
However, she was not about to let this go. She stepped forward to block Teacher Zhou’s path, “Teacher Zhou, you’ve overstepped your bounds with your words. I ask that you apologize to me and my son.”
