Gu Junhao’s smile at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, replaced at this mont by a brief touch of gloom which he quickly suppressed.
Although the gloom did not last long, Jian Yi still felt a slight chill in the air.
Looking up at Gu Junhao’s face, she still saw his usual mischievous appearance. Jian Yi hesitated, wondering if it was her imagination.
"If you didn’t beco a mistress, or at least didn’t give birth to , wouldn’t it be better for my dad to give the Gu Family directly to my brother? He would have a son to support him in his old age, without any troubles."
Gu Junhao’s face revealed an undisguised look of mockery and disbelief, making Jian Yi both angry and incredulous.
Her usually obedient son actually spoke such words to her, with undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.
"My dad’s troubles are his own doing. What does it have to do with ?"
"You...!"
Jian Yi, shaking with anger, raised her hand and slapped Gu Junhao’s face hard.
Gu Junhao’s fair skin bore the red mark of Jian Yi’s slap, with five clear finger marks visible on his face.
After slapping him, Jian Yi stared in disbelief at her own hand, then at her son’s face, tainted with a touch of guilt. "Hao Hao..."
Surprisingly, Gu Junhao was not angry at all. He didn’t even touch his reddened face, but just shrugged nonchalantly, saying,
"Now that I’m here, don’t waste the opportunity. Isn’t it all about seeking fa and fishing for complints? Just go."
Finishing his words, he walked away without regard for the worry on Jian Yi’s face.
"Hao Hao, Hao Hao..."
As her son walked away without turning back, Jian Yi stomped her feet anxiously, regretting that she had slapped her son.
The subjects taught to mountainous area children were relatively simple. It only took one class for Qiaoxu to adapt to their needs.
At this mont, school had just been let out. Unlike city children who had als waiting for them at ho, many children in the mountains had to rush ho to cook.
The engineering project team had temporary housing arranged in the mountains. Although simple, it was manageable.
After class, Qiaoxu went to find Lu Moqing and t Chu Yun, the volunteer teacher with a round and sweet face that still held so youthful energy in her bright eyes.
Qiaoxu quite liked her. Young people who persevered in the solitude and hard conditions to teach in these areas needed a lot of courage and love.
"Teacher Chu."
"Teacher Qiao."
Chu Yun walked over with a sweet smile.
Qiaoxu preferred being called Teacher Qiao to Mrs. Lu.
Hearing Chu Yun’s greeting, her smile deepened.
"Teacher Qiao, are you going back to the temporary accommodation now?"
"Hmm, what about you?"
"I’m going back to cook lunch. Would you like to join ?"
Upon hearing her words, Qiaoxu was reminded of sothing and said, "I heard from the village head that Teacher Chu always cooks alone?"
"Yes, I cook and eat by myself. It’s quite nice to be self-sufficient."
Qiaoxu smiled and invited her, "Why don’t you co with ? We have people specifically in charge of cooking. You can eat with us."
