Jing Lu gave an unsatisfied look at them, but later glared at Christy intensely while she once again asked coldly, "oh, are you not adopting another child other than him?"
Her words and expressions just now were too ruthless and made Wen a bit furious, were people with poor economic conditions not worthy of raising their child? For her, the poorest people in this world were not someone lacking in material, but those with a poor attitude, such as her!
Christy held Wen's hand tightly trying to stop her from doing unwanted things, then replied to Jing's words: "You're right, President Lu, he is indeed the dear child I adopted. Now, please excuse us, and sorry for disturbing you." Christy held Justin's little hand while speaking softly to him, "let's head home, sweetie."
She had to leave the place as soon as possible after all, or else the tension between them would grow worse.
Although Wen was still mad, she knew Christy very well and did not want to cause her any more trouble. She decided to keep her feelings to herself and left as well.
Not long later, Jing Lu's grandson Juezun Feng told her, "grandma, that little guy and I, we are good friends. You should not talk to his parents like that."
Ah, children's pure souls were enough to touch people's hearts! They saw the beauty in this world, and their minds were always so clear and bright, without any impurities.
Jing Lu didn't expect her grandson to tell her, and it wasn't very pleasant. She did realize her attitude earlier was a bit too much, but it was impossible to admit her immaturity to Christy.
Justin heard the scene and then said politely to Jing, "it's alright. I'm sure Mommy Christy and Mommy Wen won't take things personally, but please do watch your words because they might offend other people." Afterwards, he bid goodbye to his friends.
He was just a little kid, but the way he spoke wisely and rationally sure made Jing Lu feel ashamed!
"Take care, bye-bye!" Jue Zun Feng and Wei Yueyue Feng replied to him together.
Jing Lu thought if a kid could be so considerate and she couldn't, then she would feel humiliated. If she ever met Christy again, this time she would swallow her pride and would treat her nicely.
On the other hand, Wen roughly shook Christy's hand from hers and spoke angrily "that old lady has gone way too far, she has no respect for us whatsoever! What makes her think she is better than anybody else, huh?"
"There, there. Now calm down and let's head home since it's almost late. Next time let's hang out together, okay?" Christy had to comfort Wen to make her feel easier. "It's a problem between us. So, it will be better for us to avoid them from now on." Wen knew it was not Christy's fault after all.
Still, Wen protested "Why are you so stubborn? What if that old lady bullies you at work later? What will you do?" She cared for Christy so much and kept on thinking about what could happen to her friend in the future.
"Mommy Wen is right. It would be best if you looked for another job. I will spend less money, and it doesn't matter if I quit that elite kindergarten. I beg you, Mom." Justin heard this, and he begged Christy wholeheartedly.
Christy felt a bit easier, all thanks to their care and words of encouragement. She smiled and replied "Thank you for always being there for me, even if things are getting rough, what else can I do besides to go on? And one more thing, I'm working with the old analyst. Thus I won't meet President Lu so often. Don't worry."
