Intrigued by the comment, Helian Wei Wei lifted her eyebrows as she gazed toward the source of the voice.
A well-dressed rich lady was standing nearby with a handbag sling over her left shoulder. Meanwhile, with her right hand, she was holding the hand of a boy who was absurdly fat.
That boy was obese, yet he was still licking his popsicle gleefully. Perhaps there was an issue with his upbringing, as the Little Fatty looked at others with a surly gaze. He had somewhat been stained by his mother's arrogance, riding his high horse as he looked down his nose at everyone.
“Mom, who is this country b.u.mpkin?”
He looked slightly older than Helian Qingchen, and he did not forget to shoot a glance in Helian Wei Wei's direction as he spoke.
The rich lady gave a low laugh and her meaning was self-evident. “How can you call him a country b.u.mpkin? She was my cla.s.smate before. She's just a little skint now. You must not look down on them, understand?”
Skint? The little boy chuckled, loath to befriend the fat boy. He looked at Helian Wei Wei. “Pretty Wei Wei, I'll go in first. Remember what I said, don't run around.”
Helian Wei Wei always thought the expression on her son's face resembled His Highness to a certain degree. She immediately nodded without replying.
The rich lady looked at their reaction and burst into laughter. “Wei Wei, I had not seen you for three years. Back then, you were a celebrity in university. Men are certainly the creatures of circ.u.mstances. I thought you became a lawyer. But, from what I see now, that is probably not the case.”
Helian Wei Wei stared at her as her smile grew broader. “That's right, I didn't become a lawyer. Why? Is being a lawyer very important?”
“Well, not really.” The rich lady carried an elegant air whenever she spoke. “I only wanted to catch up with you as we hadn't seen each other for a long time. Hehe. Since you're not a lawyer, what are you doing now?”
Helian Wei Wei looked at her son's back as he staggered into the school. There was no need for her to stay at the gate of the kindergarten for any longer. She replied in a nonchalant manner, “I run a garage.”
“Garage?” The rich lady raised her tone, somehow condescendingly, before she chuckled. “Well, that must be tough for you, Wei Wei. My husband has invested some funds in this kindergarten, and he is now the one of the directors on the board. Let me know if you need any help. Sometimes, self-esteem isn't worth much.”
Helian Wei Wei yawned. “No, thanks.”
Helian Wei Wei continued to wear the unconcerned expression on her face. The rich lady recalled her days in the university, where Helian Wei Wei had always been like this. She often skipped cla.s.ses and appeared to be very mysterious. But, whenever she was present, she would steal everyone's thunder.
Back then, many students in the university tried to court Helian Wei Wei. Even until today, the rich lady was upset whenever she thought about the large number of admirers Helian Wei Wei had.
If the then-admirers found out that Helian Wei Wei, who was once the top law student, was now running a garage, it would definitely create an interesting scene.
It's probably a good time for reunion.
The rich lady pa.s.sed her handbag to the butler at her heels before she told the Little Fatty, “Son, you must let mommy know if someone bullies you, understand? You must listen to your teachers, and don't eat in cla.s.s.”
“Then, you come and pick me up right after the school is dismissed.” The Little Fatty was very clingy. He pouted before he continued, “Why the school that dad invests in will accept a country b.u.mpkin like him? He looks more handsome than me and is going to overshadow me.”
The rich lady snickered. “That's enough now. After all, both of you are of different backgrounds. Besides, how is he better than our Xiao Hang? You're taller than him by a head.”
Hearing the compliment, Little Fatty lifted his chin high and puffed his chest out.
The pa.s.sersby giggled as they overheard the conversation. Your son is indeed taller than him, but why don't you say that your son is also thrice as fat as the other boy?
As for their appearances, anyone with working eyes can see that the fatty is no match for the other boy!
If a child was raised crookedly, he could be even more vicious than the adults.
For instance, Little Fatty Cheng was irritated every time he looked at Helian Qingchen's face. Therefore, he told everyone in the whole cla.s.s purposefully that his family ran a garage.
Helian Qingchen could not be bothered to start a fight with Little Fatty. From afar, there was nothing special about his big, round and black eyes. However, if one was to look closely, they did not look like an ordinary person's eyes. Golden lines extended outward from the pupils. They resembled the eyes of a cat that sparkled. The fringe on his forehead had been trimmed neatly as it fell down to cover his eyes as he lowered his gaze.
“Blackie, come back.” No one heard his order.
Besides the magical dog that was just about to extend its claws to tear the Little Fatty to pieces, no one else saw a thing.
The little one reached out to caress the magical dog's leg, as his tiny body was only as tall as the dog's thigh. “We can't possibly kill someone on my first day of school. Besides, it's quite boring in school. It would be nice to have a toy like this.”
Helian Qingchen smiled as he said that. Meanwhile, his lips curved into an inconspicuous yet wicked grin.
The tiny children were very cute. After the first period of cla.s.s, all of them laid their heads on their small desks to rest.
Helian Qingchen was sleeping as well. His delicate little face seemed extremely adorable.
Before long, a little girl approached him to offer him a candy. She even wanted to stay with him as they waited for the adults to pick them up after school.
Little Fatty Cheng was displeased. The moment cla.s.s was dismissed, he and his buddies surrounded Helian Qingchen. “Country b.u.mpkin, I'm warning you to listen to me and call me Boss, or else you shall pay the price!”
Little Fatty Cheng was the oldest of them all, and he spoke in the tone of an adult.
Helian Qingchen wore a fierce expression on his face as he looked at the lollipop that fell beside his feet. Pretty Wei Wei only allowed him to eat one candy each week in order to prevent carious teeth. This lollipop did not come easy, but it was ruined just like that!
Fine!
Helian Qingchen glared at Little Fatty Cheng before he slowly exposed his canine. He seemed as though an indescribable aura was gathering beneath his eyes.
At this moment, the teacher entered the cla.s.sroom. She clapped her hands and spoke in a cute tone, “Alright, kids. It's almost time for lunch. Hurry up and form a line. Let's go eat lunch.”
In an instant, Helian Qingchen regained his composure. He must not create any trouble in school. Even if he wanted to teach the fat boy a lesson, he had to wait until they had left the school. Otherwise, Pretty Wei Wei would find out about it, and it was not worth the trouble.
After he thought about it, Helian Qingchen dismissed his aura. He held onto his small rice bowl, blowing at the rice as he walked toward the queue.
He was the youngest as well as the shortest. Naturally, he was placed at the front of the queue.
Little Fatty Cheng looked at his appearance, thinking that he had truly frightened the opponent. He was so pleased and ate three big bowls of rice in one go!
Just as Helian Qingchen was eating his meal, a discontinued model pure black Lamborghini heedlessly parked right in front of the gate of the kindergarten…
