Chapter 138 We absolutely must not look for her again! And we absolutely must not go back to a famil
"Huh? Mom...this..."
Zhu Tao was startled by her mother's loud voice, quickly took back her phone, and hid to the side, wondering what was wrong with her mother.
Her mother came over, nudged Zhu Tao, and said anxiously:
"Tsk! Hurry up! Call him back. It's so late, we can't let him go home alone. We have to take him to his doorstep! If anything happens, his family will come and fight us to the death!"
"Oh...oh oh..."
Zhu Tao nodded blankly, then quickly chased after Liao Haomiao in the direction he had left.
Zhu Tao's mother stood there alone, stamping her feet anxiously. Suddenly, she saw the flashlight in her hand and shouted:
"Hey! Grab a flashlight! It's dark! Ugh... Ouch..."
She clicked her tongue, spun around in place a few times, her face full of regret.
She never imagined that the little boy she once looked down on would become so capable...
She thought the person wearing glasses was playing on their phone...
The thought of what she had just said to the top student in her grade made her feel incredibly embarrassed.
It's so embarrassing that my own daughter's grades aren't as good as other girls', and I still said those disrespectful things...
When Zhu Tao caught up, she saw Liao Haomiao get into a taxi and close the door...
"Eh.."
Zhu Tao chased after it, but the taxi had already stepped on the gas and sped away.
By the time she arrived, she could only see the taxi's taillights...
"Ha ha--"
Zhu Tao was panting heavily; running here had taken a toll on her energy, but even so, she hadn't caught up with Liao Haomiao...
She could only turn back and go back to her mother's side.
When her mother saw Zhu Tao return alone, with no one else by her side, she looked worried.
"Is she angry? She's not coming back?"
"No...no, I couldn't catch him...he got in a car and left..."
Zhu Tao shook her head, pointed behind her, and said.
"That's alright... I thought I'd upset him with those two sentences..."
Zhu Tao's mother breathed a sigh of relief, smoothing her heaving chest.
As the two walked home together, Zhu Tao's mother asked:
"You two...are really together? Doesn't he care about...the things from before?"
"Yes, that's true, but whether he cares or not... I don't know, he says he doesn't care..."
Zhu Tao recalled Liao Haomiao's words. Although he said that the past was the past and that he was not wrong, nor were his parents,
But the more he said that, the more Zhu Tao felt she owed him...
"You just said...see you tomorrow? You're going out with him tomorrow?"
"Yeah, we've made plans to go out together tomorrow, along with two other friends..."
As Zhu Tao spoke, she picked up the bag she was carrying, but remembering that it contained swimsuits, she didn't show it to her mother...
"Oh, I see... Then Mom will give you some extra money tomorrow, and you can explain things to him properly... Apologize for Mom... And Mom didn't mean any harm by what I said today..."
"Mom...can you please change this habit of treating everyone differently based on their grades? You should treat everyone the same, regardless of their grades. After all, they're not your children...no matter how bad their grades are, they're still their parents' good children at home..."
Zhu Tao couldn't help but say something to her mother. If she hadn't revealed Liao Haomiao's grades, her mother would probably still look down on him.
She couldn't bear to let Liao Haomiao suffer such injustice again, so she had to make things clear and transparent.
Now I'm the one who's trying to climb the social ladder, but their grades have improved, and they're not the same as before...
"Yes...you're right...Mom just hopes your future partner won't be too bad. Mom only wants what's best for you, but sometimes...it's a bit too much, isn't it..."
Zhu Tao's mother is completely dejected now. She was just thoroughly humiliated by the top student in the grade. That student has such excellent grades and is so low-key, not showing off at all.
If his daughter hadn't told him the truth, he would still be in the dark.
Whether it's academic performance or character, it seems like they've won...
She knew very well the value of being first in her grade in high school; being first in elementary school or junior high school couldn't compare to this.
The thought that this kind of child is my daughter's boyfriend...
The key point is that I had previously gone to their door to cause trouble and insult them...
Now she doesn't know whether to be happy or upset...
Seeing her mother lower her head, Zhu Tao, as a daughter, knew she couldn't say anything. Besides, she understood that her mother meant well and was doing it all for her own good...
It's just that the method was wrong.
She must have learned this valuable lesson: never look down on anyone.
Who knows if today's unknown will one day be famous throughout the world?
Liao Haomiao took a taxi home.
He received a call from his mother while he was downstairs, but since he was already downstairs, he didn't answer and went straight home.
"I'm back..."
After opening the door, Liao Haomiao said something.
A woman came out of the house, holding a cell phone that was dialing. Upon seeing Liao Haomiao, she turned off the phone.
"Why are you only getting back now? Didn't you say you were going to your dad's place tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I went to buy swim trunks with a friend and had dinner out afterwards. Didn't I tell you..."
Liao Haomiao patted the shopping bag in his hand, walked in, and put on his slippers.
His mother sighed, crossed her arms, and asked:
"A few friends? Could it be your girlfriend?"
"Uh..."
At this point, Liao Haomiao looked embarrassed.
He wasn't sure if she counted as his girlfriend; after what had just happened, he figured it should be over...
Seeing his reaction, Liao Haomiao's mother knew she had guessed correctly, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.
"Mom doesn't object to you dating. You're too tired from studying, so it's normal to want to date. But there's one thing you have to remember."
"what?"
"You absolutely cannot go back to that girlfriend you had in junior high! And you absolutely cannot go back to a family like hers!"
Liao Haomiao's eyes widened, his face filled with horror, a reaction of extreme shock.
"Ah...ah?! No...why?"
"Think about it, when you become a parent, can you tolerate other people's parents barging into your house and gossiping about your child? When my son had poor grades, I said it was okay, but who gave her the right to say that? A family like that will only cause more problems in the future, absolutely not."
