Chapter 318 – “Yup, she can have her moment.” (1)
If that was not double standard that she didn’t know what was! She could beat a child but nobody could beat hers. Her child could bully others but others could not resist. The entire world revolves around this mother and son.
She asked a few more questions after that and clearly recorded her answers. She would also interview the bear child occasionally.
All in all, the behaviors of this mother and child were shocking. She could very well submit this to “the mysterious human behaviors”.
The train attendant came over at this point wit their cart and asked if anyone wanted any snacks. Fang JunRong, in light that Fang Tian’s interview had somewhat disturbed the others, purchased all of the snacks for the others around them.
Being reminded, Fang Tian, too, noticed that her early behavior might had been inappropriate. “I apologize for disturbing everyone from their rest earlier. Pardon me. Just pick whatever beverages you like. They are on me.”
Naturally, items on the train would be much more expensive than those in the grocery stores but that was still fairly immaterial to Fang Tian.
The others were not too happy from being disturbed earlier but they had been placated by their attitude. Everybody smiled. It wasn’t so much about the snacks and beverages but it was the sincerity that placated them.
The woman immediately said, “Ah, how nice of you. Give me two bottles of Cokes, three bottles of Sprites……”
She ordered a bunch of drinks and they all piled up on the table in front of her. The others frowned when they witnessed that. It was obvious that she just wanted to take advantage of the situation.
That didn’t bother Fang Tian at all. She had already paid the woman 2,000 yuan. What was some more beverages on top of that?
As for the little girl, she only asked for a bottle of water. It was obvious that she was the kind to did not want to cause troubles to others. She was so mature that it made one’s heart ached. Fang JunRong handed her a bag of chips. “Try this.”
The girl looked up at Fang JunRong, her eyes very defined. Her tips tightened a little and she gave Fang JunRong a smile. “Thank you, big sister.”
Excellent. That was exactly the kind of girl that Fang JunRong liked!
She was very careful when she ate. She first placed a piece of napkin on the table to catch the crumbs that might fall off. One could tell from her outfit that she was not from a well-off family but she was well raised. She seemed very docile sitting there quietly.
Fang JunRong asked her earlier and learned that her name was Chen MingZhu. It was a very common name but one could tell her parents’ love for her just from her name.
“How come you are taking the train by yourself?” asked Fang JunRong. She had learned that this was not the girl’s first leg. She had already transferred once.
And she only looked to be around 14 ~ 15 years old.
“I want to go look for my father in City C. He works there,” said the girl in a soft voice. “I had gotten into the best senior high school in our town and I wanted to let him know. He had always wanted me to get into a good school and be able to get out of our village one day.”
“You can have your dad go and visit you,” said Li XinYun.
Chen MingZhu shook her head. “My dad hasn’t been back for over a year, not even over the New Year.” Her long lashes moistened. “I miss him a lot.”
The woman had good hearing. After she had heard that, she blurted out point blank. “That means he already found another woman out there and had abandoned you.”*
She even had a smile on her when she said that. It was obvious that she was enjoying the drama. Everybody around them frowned. No normal people would say hurtful things like that.
“That’s not true. Dad sends home money to me every month. He even bought me a gift for my birthday. He loves me a lot and would never abandon me.”
“He’s just saying it. Don’t be so naïve. He didn’t even go home for New Year. That means he already has another family out there. You might even have a little brother by now.
“Look on the bright side, he is still willing to send money to you. You should just stay home like a good little girl. Why would you want to go look for him? If things get ugly, you won’t even get money anymore. Not every man is nice like my husband is to me. He hands me all of the money that he makes.”
The woman started bragging about her husband, how happy and lovely her life was, and would occasionally talked down about the girl’s father. Her expression suggested that she experienced great joy as she did that.
