As the homeroom teacher, Li Enqing had done enough homework on the children's family situation before school started. She remembered clearly that Chi Cheng's household register only showed Chi Ying's name from the beginning to the end.
Single-parent families were not rare in today's society, but the impact on the children could not be ignored. Li Enqing had tried to communicate with Chi Ying about this issue.
"Does Chi Cheng's father usually come to see him?" At that time, she tried to ask in a relaxed tone, for fear of provoking the other party's fragile emotions.
The beautiful woman shook her head. "Chi Cheng doesn't even know that he has a father. He may not appear in Chi Cheng's life."
Her eyes dimmed for a moment, and she continued, "Teacher Li, I know I have neglected my duty. I have to trouble you."
Li Enqing imagined all kinds of possibilities with her many years of experience. Although Chi Ying didn't say it specifically, they all pointed to the same fact — this family was probably a tragedy.
Just like a person drinking water, only the person who drinks it knows the temperature. She couldn't comment on it and just comforted him, "Don't say that, this is my duty. What's more, Chi Cheng is a very sensible child. "He was so sensible that she couldn't tell what had happened to his family.
That communication was a month ago. Unexpectedly, in just a month, this mysterious father not only appeared, but also took the initiative to call the homeroom teacher. It was obvious that he cared about the child. Li Enqing silently crossed out the version of the story that Chi Cheng lost his father when he was young and felt happy for no reason.
After imagining a lot of things in her mind, Li Enqing came back to her senses and stamped her identity as a voice control freak.
The voice on the other side of the phone was really pleasant to the ears. Although it was a little cold and full of deterrence, it was more in line with the image of a domineering president. Li Enqing's heart beat faster. She replied, "Hello, hello." She threw the right to speak to the other party and pricked up her ears to prepare for pregnancy.
But it seemed that the content of the conversation was not pleasant. Lu Jingyan described the situation in a few words and then said, "I hope you can come forward and deal with it."
After hearing that, Li Enqing's heart sank. She didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Tang Rong was tall and strong. She always bullied others and quarreled with the children.
Chi Cheng, on the other hand, was pretty and sweet at a young age. She was always surrounded by girls.
Perhaps jealousy towards the same sex began at this age. Although it had only been a month since the start of school, Tang Rong's gaze towards Chi Cheng was more or less filled with disgust.
It wasn't difficult for her to understand Tang Rong's mentality. If she was guided, there was still a high chance that she would grow into a good child with good values.
But, why did His Excellency want to get involved, and even add fuel to the fire by adding fuel to the fire? Li Enqing was a little angry.
Teacher Cheng Ya was in charge of everything from casting to rehearsal. She was a philistine woman who was used to looking down on others. She usually didn't have a good relationship with Cheng Ya, so it was almost instinctive for her to distance herself from her. It was reasonable to say that this matter had nothing to do with her. From Lu Jingyan's tone, he didn't blame her at all. He just felt that it was more appropriate for her to come forward and deal with it.
After all, Tang Rong was a student in her class. After Cheng Ya finished rehearsing the play, there was nothing for her to do. She couldn't be easily bribed with money to pay attention to the child's physical and mental development.
Li Enqing remembered the promise she had made to Chi Ying: In the garden, she would try her best to avoid the topic of her father and give Chi Cheng a harmonious living environment. A trace of guilt suddenly welled up in her heart. She promised again, "I'll talk to Teacher Cheng. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
However, the other party said, "No need. Teacher Li, just coordinate the children's relationship. I'll take care of the rest."
Li Enqing understood what he meant and hurriedly agreed. For a simple-minded child like Chi Cheng, there was nothing happier than clearing this misunderstanding in front of the teachers and students.
Lu Jingyan thanked her politely and asked, "Who's Tang Rong's father?"
Li Enqing almost blurted out the answer. She froze for a moment and swallowed the words back. She explained, "I'm very sorry. This is their privacy. I can't say."
The other party didn't seem surprised. He thanked her again and hung up.
Chi Cheng and Chi Ying worked for the whole morning. The large dining table was gradually filled with food. The entire dining room was filled with aroma. The sight and smell of the food made one's stomach rumble with hunger.
Work made people happy. Chi Cheng's mood had long been turned upside down. He washed his hands and sat at the table with shining eyes. He was full of anticipation as he salivated at the delicious food.
But, "Why isn't Dad here yet?"
Chi Ying also sat down next to him. She replied absentmindedly, "There's a traffic jam."
Chi Cheng said gloomily, "The traffic jam is terrible. Why doesn't Dad fly a plane?"
Chi Ying made up a story. "Emmm … Maybe it's because there's no place to park."
Chi Cheng felt that Chi Ying was not talking about the matter at all. He suggested, "Mom, let's move the trees on the rooftop to other places."
"…"
Chi Ying's mood was the opposite of his. She was secretly nervous and her palms were sweating. She wanted to increase the progress bar, but it was a little unexpected that she would be able to meet the parents directly. Thinking about the attitude of her family towards "Chi Cheng's father" in the past few years, as the culprit, it was impossible for her not to be nervous.
What's more, she and Lu Jingyan were not prepared for this matter. Unknowingly, they were betrayed by Chi Cheng and Mother Chi.
