Alex pats Ben on the shoulder. “You should hit the one who says bad things about your mommy. I support you.”
“What do you mean?” Grace’s nephew asks in surprise.
Alex walks up to the teacher. “I don’t think my son did anything wrong.”
“But, Ben hit people.”
“When I came here, I saw that there were cameras installed in the hallway and the classroom. I think we should investigate the matter.”
“Mr. Alex, I think it’s obvious. Why bother?”
“No, I remember my son is always obedient. He won’t do it for no reason. I suspect that the school pushed him into this.”
Alex doesn’t give in, and the teacher is a little embarrassed.
She approaches Alex and says, “this kid is from Sue Family, the famous Sue Family, you know? You’d better not provoke him.”
Alex thinks it is ridiculous. Is Alex Family afraid of the Sue Family?
“I think...”
Alex wants to say something when Ben suddenly interrupts him.
“Why do you have to pretend to care about me? I told you I’d beat him. He’s a pussy, but he’s too self-righteous. He feels like the whole world is following him. He can do nothing but make trouble.”
Ben takes a contemptuous look at Grace’s nephew.
Grace’s nephew is not clever, but he understands what they mean.
“Uncle, Ben is looking at me like this. You have to teach him a lesson.” Grace’s nephew pouts and looks at Alex.
Ben snorts and takes his student ID card off his neck and throws it on the ground. “I can drop out. So no one can say they were scared away by me.”
Ben shouts and goes straight out, and nobody can stop him.
“Ben.” The children chase out, shouting Ben’s name.
“Uncle, Ben is not obedient. Why don’t you marry my aunt and have an obedient baby with her? I am obedient, too.” Grace’s nephew has been smiling at Alex.
It occurs to Alex just now that IQ is inherited. Grace’s nephew is as stupid as her. They are inexplicably confident.
Alex takes a look at Grace’s nephew and says, “I just like wayward children.” He remembers that he and Miya have discussed having a wayward baby. And now she’s pregnant.
The teacher wants to say something, but Alex leaves. She looks at Alex’s back and thinks that he is an ordinary working man who met a girl from a wealthy family.
This school is an international school. All the students have a particular identity and status, so she thinks their parents earn millions of dollars a year. No one in this school talks about their family so that teachers don’t have too much pressure and can treat them equally.
