Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Zhou Ru Reaps What She Sows

What do you mean?

Zhou Ru quickly realized what the other person meant; she felt they were implying her apology wasn’t loud enough!

She felt as if her face had been thrown to the ground for everyone to trample on recklessly, her cheeks burning with humiliation, her heart bursting with frustration. Yet, she had no choice but to comply, “Yes, I’m, sorry!”

She really didn’t want to say those three words again, so she took the initiative, “This parent, it was my fault just now. I have reflected seriously, and our Liang Qing was indeed wrong. He shouldn’t have yelled at the little friends in the kindergarten. When 1 get home, I will educate him properly with his dad. Can we consider this matter resolved?”

“If you admit you were wrong, shouldn’t you apologize first?” Li Beijue glanced at the withering Liang Qing, then at Chi Jingchen sitting on the sofa.

“You—” Zhou Ru’s face turned color.

She thought it was fine if she was mistreated, but why should her child suffer the same?

However, having just been chastised, she dared not be confrontational. She could only force a laugh, saying, “This parent, it’s normal for children to roughhouse. Let’s not make it so formal. It’s not good for the kids. It’s inevitable for them to have little bumps and bruises. They still have to go to kindergarten together. If we make their relationship too tense, wouldn’t that be uncomfortable for them in the same kindergarten?”

“Who said they will be in the same kindergarten in the future?” Li Beijue’s falcon-like eyes turned colder, giving no quarter.

Zhou Ru didn’t understand what he meant, but her instincts told her not to ask further or she would only make a fool of herself. Reluctantly as it may be, she had to lower her head in the face of the situation.

She squatted in front of Liang Qing, coaxing the little tyrant with sweet words, “Son, will you apologize to Chi Jingchen for me?”

“I won’t!” Liang Qing brushed off her hand without crying now, whimpering instead, “Mom, didn’t you come to scold him for me? Why are you helping him now? Are you even my mother? I want Grandma!”

“Liang Qing, be good!” Zhou Ru was full of indignation, already feeling wronged herself. Liang Qing’s tantrum instantly ignited her anger again.

Who did Liang Qing think he was? He never feared anyone at home, where everyone revolved around him. In his worldview, as long as he cried and made a fuss, there was nothing he couldn’t get his way with. Just like when he was sick and the hateful doctor said he couldn’t have ice cream. When they passed by KFC and he cried for ice cream, in the end, he always got it. So, he believed it would be the same this time; if he had not achieved his goal, it was because he hadn’t thrown a big enough tantrum. He just needed to make a bigger scene and his mother would surely cave in.

He burst into tears immediately, “Wuwu… I won’t apologize! Mom, he hit me! You have to hit him back for me! If not, hold him so I can hit!”

Li Beijue’s expression grew even colder.

“Stop crying!” Zhou Ru was annoyed herself, and hearing him cry again only exacerbated it. After all, wasn’t it because of him that she was humiliated today? Why couldn’t he listen just once?

“Wuwu… I want Grandma… I want Dad… Grandma, save me… Grandma… wuwu…” He cried breathlessly.

Zhou Ru was angry yet heartbroken, with an indescribable sense of irritation. She grabbed Liang Qing’s shoulders with both hands, trying to calm herself down, “Stop crying. Tell me honestly, were you the one who started the name-calling?”

“I want Dad… Dad….”
