Chapter 826: Home Wreckers Never End Well
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Le’s understanding was a mix of clarity and confusion, but she chose not to dwell on it. She nodded vigorously, hoping this would prevent her mother from getting angry. However, she secretly vowed that if her second brother dared to upset their mother again, she would stealthily retaliate.
Gu Zi watched her, her large eyes sparkling with an intelligent light. She wondered what little schemes were brewing in her daughter’s mind. In truth, she could never bear to be angry with Su Le. Seeing her in this defiant state, Gu Zi was more amused than upset. She believed that with Su Le’s fiery spirit, she would never be taken advantage of, especially not by unworthy men. The only downside was that her second child might bear the brunt of his sister’s wrath.
Gu Zi’s gaze fell upon the table where her second child’s award certificate lay. A red ribbon adorned the edge of the certificate. She picked it up and examined it, an idea forming in her mind. She called out, “Su Li, can Mom have the red ribbon on your certificate?”
Su Li and Su Bing were in the backyard, weeding and watering the vegetables. They worked in harmony, their spirits high. Upon hearing their mother’s request, Su Li readily agreed, “Mom, you can take it. It’s just for decoration anyway.”
Gu Zi took the red ribbon and fetched a picture frame from a nearby cabinet. She was contemplating how to embellish the frame when the ribbon caught her eye. It would be perfect.
When Su Bing came in, he saw his mother holding a picture frame he didn’t recognize. She was attaching his brother’s red ribbon to the edge of the frame. Curious, he took a closer look and realized that the picture inside was of him and his mother. More specifically, it was a photo taken during their interview with a journalist, which had been published in the Education Daily the following day.
He didn’t know when his mother had bought the newspaper, let alone when she had thoughtfully cut out their photo to display in a frame. Su Bing was touched. This act must hold great significance for his mother.
Gu Zi knew that Su Bing was watching her. She said, “This year, I’ve recorded all the honors you and your brother have received in this picture frame. When your father comes back, I’ll show him, so he can feel proud too.”
Upon hearing his father mentioned, something flickered in Su Bing’s eyes. Finally, he asked, “Mom, what will you do if dad doesn’t come back? Will you go to the capital to find him?”
Gu Zi was taken aback, not expecting Su Bing to ask such a question. He was indeed the cunning little antagonist from the book, always thinking ahead. Gu Zi put away the picture frame and said, “That depends on why he doesn’t come back. But Su Bing, I trust your father.”
