Post-2000s dad raises kid in a wild way, Yang Mi (the child’s mother) Can’t Handle It!
Chapter 16 - Xiaoxiao is truly outstanding, this is a good child!

Chapter 16 Xiaoxiao is truly outstanding, this is a good child!

On the live-streaming bullet screen, people were speculating.

“Wow! The teacher personally called the parents! It must be something bad!”

“Upstairs, you’re really relishing this, aren’t you? How ugly.”

“Could it be that Xiaoxiao bullied another child?”

“Very likely. If you think about it, Gu Xu’s way of teaching is very problematic.”

“You guys never think of anything good, do you?”

“Exactly! Maybe the teacher is specially praising her!”

“Upstairs, dreaming the day away?”

To most netizens, the teacher specifically keeping the child behind must mean that the child did something bad at school. After all, based on past experiences, the truth of the matter was usually clear.

It couldn’t possibly be that the teacher was specially praising her, right? Just thinking about it made it seem impossible.

At that moment in the studio, the education experts were frowning, their faces full of displeasure. If one looked carefully, they could see that there was a faint trace of sarcasm and disdain in their eyes.

“Xiaoxiao is really troublesome.”

“Must’ve caused some trouble at school!”

Another education expert nodded in agreement.

“Don’t you think about it? Gu Xu’s teaching method…”

“Of course, there’s bound to be a problem.”

“Who teaches children to repay evil with evil and an eye for an eye?”

“Maybe Xiaoxiao seems well-behaved on the surface, but she’s actually a violent, rude girl?”

Zhang Taiti also thought they were right. After all, no matter when it happened, if a teacher called the parents in, it was never a good thing. Most of the time, it was to report some bad behavior of the child.

Did the child bully other students, talk in class, or damage the school’s public property?

He had a clearly eager look on his face, as if waiting to see a good show.

“Xiaoxiao looks so well-behaved and cute.”

“But it’s probably just an appearance.”

“After all, under Gu Xu’s way of teaching, Xiaoxiao won’t be the one to suffer…”

Zhang Taiti, being cautious because this was a live broadcast, chose to speak in a more tactful manner. But between the lines, he was fully blaming Xiaoxiao.

Whether the experts or Zhang Taiti, they were all guessing what bad thing Xiaoxiao had done. Listening to their words, Yang Mi, who had originally been relaxed, couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy. She couldn’t stop herself from quietly worrying about Xiaoxiao in her heart.

Could it be?

Did Xiaoxiao really do something terrible?

The camera switched back to Gu Xu’s perspective.

Teacher Zhang smiled as she looked at Gu Xu.

“Sorry, Gu Xu, for keeping you here!”

Seeing how polite the teacher was, Gu Xu became even more unsure. Was this a case of “first show courtesy, then use force”?

Gu Xu quietly glanced at Xiaoxiao. But the little one was busy fiddling with her clay, not paying attention to his silent hint at all.

Gu Xu withdrew his gaze and smiled, saying, “Teacher Zhang, you’re too polite! Just say what you need to!”

He said this out loud, but in his heart, he was still anxious…

Could it be that Xiaoxiao was being naughty at school?

No… no way?

Teacher Zhang could clearly feel that Gu Xu’s expression had become tense. Obviously, he had misunderstood her meaning.

She didn’t answer his question. Instead, she looked at Xiaoxiao with a face full of appreciation.

Gu Xu was more confused than ever!

Teacher, what is going on here? Why does it feel so strange?

While he was deep in thought, Teacher Zhang suddenly let out a soft chuckle.

She whispered, “The little one actually made Kun Kun!”

Noticing Gu Xu’s puzzled gaze, Teacher Zhang quickly composed herself. She moved her eyes away from the little one’s clay and cleared her throat before looking seriously at Gu Xu.

“I do have one question for you.”

Gu Xu instinctively stood up straight, his body tense, his expression serious and focused. He nodded.

“Teacher Zhang, please go ahead.”

Seeing his nervousness, Teacher Zhang smiled faintly.

“I wanted to ask you…”

“How did you manage to educate your child so well?”

Gu Xu froze, his body going rigid as he seemed unable to believe his ears. He had already prepared himself for criticism, but this was completely unexpected!

Noticing he hadn’t spoken, Teacher Zhang then explained.

“Xiaoxiao excels in all areas.”

“Independence, intelligence, comprehension skills, and imagination!”

“She is far ahead of other children in these aspects…”

As she spoke, Teacher Zhang’s eyes held a hint of admiration.

“If only all parents were like you!”

“It would make things much easier for us teachers!”

At these words, the entire live-streaming audience was stunned!

What…?

This was the truth of the matter?

They had all assumed Xiaoxiao had done something bad at school!

It really is the preconceived notions that harm us!

Thankfully, Gu Xu didn’t jump to conclusions and immediately blame Xiaoxiao. The live-stream chat exploded with comments.

“Wow! That gave me quite a scare. I’ve been worried for so long for nothing!”

“Didn’t expect this at all, turns out it’s good news!”

“Who would’ve thought? I feel like I just got slapped in the face!”

“Who am I? Where am I? My head is spinning…”

“Looks like Gu Xu really does educate his child well! The teacher approves!”

“Xiaoxiao is so excellent! Happy happy! Throwing flowers!”

“Gu Xu is amazing! Xiaoxiao is amazing!”

“Family, I’m dying of laughter! Xiaoxiao is so outstanding, it just makes her dad look even more unreliable!!”

“The clueless old dad raised such an outstanding child!”

_____

The live-stream comments were full of praise!

It was a grand celebration!

Not just the viewers, but even Gu Xu himself was stunned! He had been fearing a reprimand from the teacher…

But it turned out to be good news. Immediately, he stood taller, looking proud of himself.

Gu Xu cleared his throat and said, “Xiaoxiao is so outstanding, it’s all because of me!”

“And on top of that, my tireless teaching…”

“Teacher, don’t worry, I will continue to do my best!”

_____

The audience burst out laughing!

“This face! This thickness! No one can compare!”

“How did he manage to say that with a straight face?!”

“Gu Xu, how does he have the nerve to say that?”

“Tsk tsk… as long as the skin is thick enough, it’s my achievement…”

“Gu Xu really deserves a slap! Acting all serious, but more unreliable than anyone…”

The comments mocking Gu Xu flooded the screen!

Meanwhile, in the studio, The education experts, witnessing this situation, felt like their vision was going dark!

Their faces went from pale to green and then from green to a darker shade of despair…

Zhang Taiti’s expression was also very bad. His lips were tightly pressed together, with clear frustration in his eyes.

In contrast, Yang Mi looked extremely pleased.

The smile on her face had risen significantly compared to before. She almost seemed to be glowing!

It turned out, she had been overthinking things! Xiaoxiao was so well-behaved, so sensible.

How could she have done something bad?

Yang Mi casually observed the education experts sitting nearby. Seeing them, each one of them had a look on their face as if they had swallowed a fly!

Yang Mi almost couldn’t hold back her laughter inside!

Fortunately, as an actor, she had enough self-discipline. She didn’t let her curiosity show on her face. The more composed she appeared on the outside, the happier she was on the inside!

After all, the education expert had spoken so confidently earlier. It seemed like they had seen the facts as if they had already known the truth!

But now…

They must have been slapped in the face, right?

Don’t they understand the logic?

Yang Mi muttered to herself in her mind.

Her shoulders uncontrollably twitched with laughter.

She just couldn’t hold back her joy inside. She had to slightly lower her eyelids to hide the amusement in her eyes.

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, because of this twist, the number of viewers surged explosively!

Teacher Zhang’s smile became more sincere. Her gaze towards Xiao Xiao grew even warmer and more affectionate.

“Because Xiao Xiao has strong expressive abilities.”

“I want her to take part in the flag-raising speech tomorrow…”

Xiao Xiao looked up with surprise in her eyes, as if asking, “Really? Really?”

Gu Xu didn’t quite understand the excitement in the little one’s eyes.

Teacher Zhang then explained.

“This is something that usually the older class does.”

“The students who give speeches…”

“Though Xiao Xiao is in the middle class, her abilities are already more than enough!”

“This opportunity is precious.”

“It’s a good chance to give her more practice!”

Teacher Zhang had carefully considered this before making her decision. It was actually to cultivate her potential. Her words were subtle, but the meaning was clear.

Gu Xu understood her unspoken intention.

How could he possibly refuse such good intentions from the teacher?

He immediately puffed out his chest, looking serious as he said, “Okay, no problem!”

“You can tell Xiao Xiao, I fully support it with both hands!”

“I’m an open-minded parent.”

“I totally respect the child’s wishes…”

As he spoke, Gu Xu’s smile grew wider, and he looked rather smug!

However, before he could enjoy his moment of happiness, in the next second, Teacher Zhang’s words made him freeze on the spot!

“Because this event takes place in the morning,”

“Considering that you’re often late when you drop off Xiao Xiao…”

Teacher Zhang paused here deliberately.

Seeing Gu Xu’s expression freeze.

She then continued.

“So, I hope you can bring Xiao Xiao early tomorrow!”

“Such an important event—don’t be late again!”

“You mustn’t forget!”

As Teacher Zhang spoke, she couldn’t help but recall the times Gu Xu had been late dropping off his child.

After thinking for a moment, she added.

“Xiao Xiao’s father, make sure to remember!”

“Try not to be late!”

Looking at the teacher’s concerned reminder, Gu Xu felt like he had been stabbed again and again in the heart!

Each knife was lethal!

It was so painful…

What happened to trust between people?
