Chapter 122 Scold the Locust While Pointing at the Mulberry
“How dare you talk to me with that attitude?” Wu Tong’s attitude towards Ji Mo became arrogant once again. “Do you think you’re interrogating a criminal? I’m your mother! Watch your tone!”
“Enough! If you want to make a scene, go somewhere else.” Shen Hanxing frowned and interrupted Wu Tong. After the incident at school last time, she did not have any good impression of Wu Tong at all. Now that she saw Wu Tong dressed beautifully dressed and acted rudely towards Ji Mo, she became even more disgusted.
Shen Hanxing crossed her arms and looked at Tong Wei coldly. “How did you get in? What do you want to do in the greenhouse?”.
“Why are you treating me like I’m a thief?” Wu Tong looked down on Shen Hanxing in her heart, her tone was naturally a little dissatisfied. “Why do you so overacted? Do you have to ask this much? It’s just a shady greenhouse. There’s nothing to see here anyway.”
“Ms. Wu.” Ji Yan’s dark eyes were extremely oppressive, he said coldly, “Answer the question. If you don’t explain clearly, don’t blame me for being rude. Also, Hanxing is my wife, the matriarch of the Ji family. You should be more respectful to her.”
Wu Tong trembled violently. Her fear of Ji Yan was carved into her bones. After hearing his reprimand, not only did she not dare to talk back, but she was also even as obedient as a
quail.
“I, I said that I was Ji Mo’s mother, so the guard let me in.” Wu Tong clenched her fingers, she carefully explained, “I haven’t been here for a long time, so I just walked around the place. I really didn’t do it on purpose. After all, other than flowers, there’s nothing else to see in the greenhouse…” She raised her eyes and carefully looked at Ji Yan. She then continued, “I went to the school to look for Ji Mo today and found out that he actually took a leave. He was third year in high school now. It’s the most crucial period for a high school student. What if he could not catch up his studies? I’m Ji Mo’s mother, and I’m worry about him. That’s why I came here without informing you…”
After saying that, Wu Tong even looked meaningfully at Shen Hanxing.
Ji Mo was a little displeased with Wu Tong’s scolding. “My leave of absence has nothing to do with anyone else. I decided to study at home.”
“You’re just a child. What do you know?” Wu Tong secretly glared at him. “You’re still too young. You know nothing about responsibility and what’s good for you. I’m your mother. How can I harm you? You must know that everything I do is for your own good. I know you don’t understand me now. When you grow up, you’ll understand my painstaking efforts.”
Wu Tong put on a sincere expression, she tried to persuade him. “How can studying at home be the same as studying at school? Are you going to give up on college? You can’t really be irresponsible to yourself by following other people’s irresponsible decisions. Be good and listen to your mother. Go back to school and study. You might be happy by not going to school, but what about your future? Who can be responsible for that? The person who took the leave for you? Silly child, she is ruining you!”
“Ji Mo took the leave of absence with my consent.” Ji Yan was also very dissatisfied with Wu Tong’s words. He frowned and said seriously, “Moreover, Ji Mo is not a seven-year-old child. He knows what he wants to do and what he should do.”
“I…” Wu Tong could only smile awkwardly while facing Ji Yan. “I’m just worried about my child’s future. This child is too bold. He doesn’t even know to discuss such a big matter with me.”
Ji Mo could not help but mock, “Discuss with you, Mommy? Do you really care, Mommy?”
“You!” Wu Tong subconsciously wanted to lose her temper, but she quickly realized that she was in Ji family’s residence. She could only force out a twisted smile and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m your mother. I care about you a lot.”
Ji Mo lowered his head and did not say another word.
“Ms. Wu, do you still want to look at the flowers?” Shen Hanxing’s attitude was cold. She crossed her arms and leaned against the door of the greenhouse. “If you have any flowers that you like, just tell me. I’ll get someone to send them to you.”
“Ha, how arrogant. You’re here only because of Ji Yan! A pheasant will always be a pheasant. You will not turn into a phoenix. They’re just pots of worthless flowers. Who would want that!” Wu Tong cursed in her heart
Wu Tong rolled her eyes and waved her hand. “I’m not going to look anymore. I don’t know anything about flowers. I just don’t appreciate them.” After saying that, she looked at Ji Mo. “Let’s go to your room. Mom will talk to you alone.”
Ji Mo was silent for a moment before bringing Wu Tong back to his room. Ji Qian was left fuming like a little puffer fish. “What kind of person is she!? We can see her rolling her eyes on us. She was just a little model. If not because of the old man’s bad taste, she would not have chance to be in Ji Family! She kept saying that she was here to visit her son, but she didn’t even bring anything with her.”
