Nian Suian never expected that she wouldn't be so averse to the idea of becoming a stepmother!
Of course, there was a reason for this. If her "stepson" had been a little brat who couldn't control his poop and pee, or a rebellious, hot-headed teenager, she would have packed her bags and run away in the middle of the night.
But the reality was that her "stepson" appeared to be a handso, clean-cut, and polite young boy. She wouldn't have to change diapers or provide counseling for a rebellious teen. Wasn't this stepson practically a gift from heaven?
"Step-mom sis, could you attend my new student-parent eting at school for ?" Gu Zhijing asked, resting his chin on his hand and blinking his big eyes.
"Huh?" Nian Suian was surprised. How had they jumped straight to attending parent-teacher conferences on her first day as a stepmother? Shouldn't there be more buildup?
Like the son asking when his father would return, the father saying he's busy but sending money, the son missing his parents and feeling heartbroken, the stepmother gently resolving the emotional knot...
How had the Old Gu Family fast-forwarded through all of that?
"You don't want to? You know, I've never t my mom, and my dad's always too busy to attend parent-teacher etings. It's okay if you don't want to, I'm used to it. I understand. I'll just go to the library during the eting. It's no big deal..."
"Wait!" Nian Suian couldn't bear to hear more. This kid was quite the actor at such a young age. Had he taken classes at the Beijing Film Academy? She was a kind-hearted girl who couldn't resist this kind of emotional manipulation.
It's just being a mom, right? It's not like she hadn't done it before. Back in her fangirl days, she'd even been a "mom" to guys in their twenties! Whether you're a fan-mom or a stepmom, it's all motherhood in the end. There's no hierarchy in motherhood!
"It's just a parent-teacher eting, right? When is it? I'll go with you!"
"Hehe, it's next Monday. Thanks, step-mom sis!" Gu Zhijing, having achieved his goal, waved his sleeve and went upstairs, leaving Nian Suian bewildered in the dining room.
Nian Suian ntally gave him the middle finger. Well played, kid!
Beside her, Butler Su watched the young master's performance, trying hard not to burst into laughter. He knew full well that his employer, no matter how busy, would always attend his son's parent-teacher etings... But as a qualified butler, he maintained a perfectly neutral expression.
Butler Su glanced at the ceiling: How wonderful! A caring mother and a filial son, the master will be delighted!
After returning to his room, Gu Zhijing sent a WeChat ssage to his father: [Old Mr. Gu, you don't need to co to the parent-teacher eting. Step-mom sis will go for . Step-mom sis is young and beautiful, it'll be more impressive to bring her. You don't need to rush back from work early. Maybe get so costic treatnts when you have ti! You're not getting any younger, can't let your skin deteriorate too much. Muah, love you, little Gu]
Five minutes later.
[Behave yourself, and don't cause trouble for your Aunt Nian] Old Mr. Gu clearly knew what his son was like.
[How can we call her 'aunt'? That makes her sound like she's your age. She's clearly so young] Gu Zhijing couldn't help but push his luck.
[Call her 'step-mom', it sounds close, like we're family. Call her 'sis', it makes her sound young! In conclusion, call her 'step-mom sis'] Gu Zhijing had originally thought about dropping the 'step' and just calling her 'mom sis', but he was afraid of offending the goddess Mazu, so he added the 'step'.
[Old Mr. Gu has enabled friend verification. You are not his friend yet. Please send a friend request. You can chat after he verifies you.]
Gu Zhijing stared at the red exclamation mark on the screen, thinking that what he'd read online was true: n are sensitive about their age too, especially older n.
Nian Suian had just finished dinner and hadn't even reached her room when she heard a WeChat notification.
[WeChat transfer ￥20000]
[Thank you for attending Zhijing's parent-teacher eting.]
Seeing the ssage, Nian Suian let out a silent scream!
Twenty thousand for attending a parent-teacher eting?
Was this world experiencing hyperinflation? She used to work like a dog for only 5000 a month.
Sorry, let clarify again, Nian Suian was just a shallow person. She hadn't seen any of that trust fund money they'd ntioned before. Earlier, when she saw only 3600 left in her WeChat balance, she'd wondered if rich people didn't use WeChat Pay.
But now! Her WeChat balance was 23600! Who would refuse money that falls into their lap? She wasn't so protagonist who viewed money as dirt. Nian Suian was already planning a big shopping spree on Taobao tonight. She imdiately transferred all the money to her Yu'ebao account. At least it would earn so interest, right?
Then she returned to the chat and reverently typed:
[Thank you, boss!
