Chapter 323: Chapter 323 I am Jin Xiu’s Mother
An Junxi had been tormented by Gu Yikun all night, and he wanted her to go to the company with him the next day.
An Junxi didn’t dare to go to the company with him, what if he wanted to try out the new bed in the lounge?
Gu Yikun reluctantly kissed her goodbye: "Wait for me at home."
An Junxi sent him off to work and stayed home to take care of their children.
She discussed with Jin Xiu, asking him why he preferred one-on-one lessons with a tutor rather than going to school to study with everyone.
Gu Kuangyong and Liang Huiyun had no objections to Jin Xiu’s curriculum. They arranged for the best-qualified tutors, so the learning must be good. But An Junxi did not think so.
In her view, while one-on-one tutoring might be more efficient and higher quality than school, it’s not good for a child to be long-term separated from the school atmosphere and peers.
She asked Jin Xiu: "Do you not want to go to school for classes?"
"Mom wants me to go to school for classes, so I will go to school."
"No, I’m asking about your own wishes. Why don’t you want to go to school?"
Gu Jinxiu said in a low voice: "My classmates seem to be afraid of me on the surface, but I know they talk behind my back, saying I don’t have a mom."
An Junxi didn’t know that Jin Xiu had such concerns. She realized she wasn’t caring enough for the child.
"Then, what about now? If you want to go to school, your dad and I will take you. When we have time, we’ll pick you up after class. I’ll also attend the parent-teacher meetings."
Gu Jinxiu was still a bit reluctant. An Junxi touched his head, "Let me know when you’ve made up your mind."
"Okay, I know."
An Junxi played interactive intelligence-developing games with Ai Xi. This little smart one was afraid her mom and dad would leave for work together, so she woke up early and blocked their bedroom door. Now, playing games, she felt a bit sleepy.
An Junxi said: "Baby, if you’re sleepy, take a nap."
Gu Aixi rubbed her eyes: "Baby’s not sleepy."
Gu Jinxiu, watching from the side, almost burst into laughter, "How can my sister be so cute!"
An Junxi teased Ai Xi, holding up three fingers, "Baby really not sleepy? Then, how many fingers is this?"
Baby Ai Xi grabbed her mom’s fingers, "This is a hand!"
"How many fingers?"
Baby Ai Xi was confused.
Gu Jinxiu reminded his sister, "Three."
Baby Ai Xi was so sleepy she was about to nap, when Gu Jinxiu’s phone watch rang, making her instantly alert, "The phone is ringing! The phone is ringing!"
An Junxi poked her daughter’s forehead, "Little parrot, that’s you!"
Gu Jinxiu answered the call, and Baby Ai Xi leaned in to eavesdrop. An Junxi was also a bit curious, "Who is it?"
Not many people knew Jin Xiu’s phone watch number; it was always close family and friends.
An Junxi was still wondering, when she heard a little girl’s voice on the phone: "Jin Xiu, are you coming to school for the next semester? I skipped to fifth grade! Can you catch up if you come to school?"
An Junxi raised an eyebrow, now there is something interesting!
Young master Gu Jinxiu originally didn’t care, but the little girl’s last sentence made him burst with anger, "I can’t catch up to you? I can skip to middle school!"
The little girl said, "I don’t believe it!"
Baby Ai Xi didn’t understand what her brother was saying, she just found it fun and followed the phone sister, "I don’t believe it!"
The little girl immediately asked, "Who’s next to you?"
Gu Jinxiu then noticed his mom and sister gossiping, he awkwardly turned around, "How can you eavesdrop, mom!"
An Junxi said awkwardly, "Curious, can’t mom listen a bit?"
Gu Jinxiu did not hide anymore, all right, listen if you want.
He said to the little girl, "It’s my mom and sister."
The little girl spoke sweetly, "You have a mom and a sister now. Your sister must be very pretty. When can I see her?"
Gu Jinxiu said, "It’s a long way until my birthday. When Brother Cheng and Auntie get married, I can invite you to my house."
An Junxi wanted to laugh, Auntie doesn’t know when she’ll get married, yet Jin Xiu is thinking about it.
The little girl was very happy, "Okay, is your mom next to you?"
An Junxi spoke up, "Yes, I’m Jin Xiu’s mom."
The little girl introduced herself seriously, "Jin Xiu’s mommy, I’m He Yiqing, Jin Xiu’s desk mate in second grade. He hasn’t come to school for a long time. I’ve recently skipped to fifth grade and wonder if he can catch up. Can you let Jin Xiu come to school for lessons?"
An Junxi also had a headache over this issue, "That depends on whether Jin Xiu wants to go."
Gu Jinxiu originally didn’t want to go to school at all, but hearing He Yiqing’s doubt about his grades stirred up his competitive spirit, "I’ll go to school when the term starts. Just watch. I’ll skip to sixth grade!"
He Yiqing said, "If you skip to sixth grade, we can’t sit together anymore. What if higher grade classmates bully me? You used to say you’d protect me."
An Junxi’s eyes widened like copper bells. Is this the legendary childhood sweethearts?
Jin Xiu is seen as a cool guy outside, but he can say such things?
An Junxi grew more curious, she was very into the plot and followed He Yiqing’s lead, "What if someone bullies her?"
Baby Ai Xi didn’t understand anything, and echoed her mom, "What to do?"
Gu Jinxiu was impatient, "Then I’ll stay in fifth grade, don’t worry, no one dares to bully you."
"Great, I’ll be waiting for you at school!" He Yiqing said, "Will Jin Xiu’s mommy send Jin Xiu to school? I’ll wait for you at school."
Gu Jinxiu said, "My daddy and mommy will send me, even if no adults do, I can still go myself."
The young master is really good at acting cool.
He Yiqing worshiped him, "Jin Xiu is amazing. I’d be scared without my parents sending me!"
Gu Jinxiu said, "You scaredy cat, don’t say you know me."
An Junxi saw through Gu Jinxiu’s thoughts. After they hung up, she said, "Jin Xiu, you can go to school by yourself? Then I’ll let Uncle Cheng send you, and daddy and I won’t go."
Gu Jinxiu’s cool and proud face immediately fell, "Mommy, I want you to send me."
An Junxi held back a smile, "We can send you, but who was that little girl just now?"
"Just my desk mate, you and daddy saw her when you first sent me to school."
In the past, two years ago?
An Junxi vaguely remembered this incident, but she really couldn’t recall what the little girl looked like.
Back then, the kids were just in second grade, they must have changed a lot since then.
She said politely, "It’s great to make friends at school, remember not to let it affect your studies, and don’t bully the girls."
Gu Jinxiu replied with swagger, "Many people at school want to play with me, but I don’t just talk to anyone."
"Young master is quite haughty, but why only play with He Yiqing, is she very pretty?"
An Junxi’s gossiping mind woke up, she wanted to know what kind of girl Gu Jinxiu would like.
Oh, she really worries too much!
