He glanced ahead towards the school entrance . Branded cars in a variety of colors streamed in slowly .
Most of the parents had arrived in the past five minutes . Beibei peered at his feet, looking despondent . He stole a quick glance at his watch and the corners of his mouth sank .
Ten more minutes to the parent-teacher conference . Would she be here?
“Ming Beichen, you’re a liar . How could you possibly have a mother?”
The girl interrupted his thoughts again .
Even though most of his classmates’ parents didn’t attend the previous parent-teacher conferences, they would personally at least send their children to school during the first week .
At a prestigious school like this, the children would secretly compete with their friends by comparing their parents . On the first day of school, it was a spectacular scene when all the branded cars convened .
Ming Ansheng’s schedule was usually pretty hectic . Although he came on the first day, he left after going to the office .
He had only attended one parent-teacher conference . He was thrust into the limelight since everyone recognized him . He had appeared on TV and magazines .
And it soon traveled to the entire school that Ming Beichen didn’t have a mother .
Although he feigned nonchalance whenever others gossiped behind his back, he felt inferior and dejected deep down .
He turned his head and glared at the girl . “I’m not lying . I don’t care even if you don’t believe me . ”
He turned around and marched towards the staircase .
His back was straight and stiff as he walked . When he reached the staircase, he rushed into the elevator .
The girl yelled after him, “Liar! You don’t have a mother! How can you lie to us that you have a mother? We have never seen her before!”
Beibei was unhappy when he heard her, and he covered his ears . He turned around and bolted for the toilets .
‘Su Yue is a liar! She is a bad stepmother! She broke her promise!’
He entered a cubicle and locked it after squatting down .
“Ming Beichen, is that really your mother?”
Beibei finally came out of the toilet after a long time . He splashed his face with water and his face was still dripping with droplets when he came out .
As he walked, he wiped the water away with his sleeves . His eyes were red and puffy .
The girl who had labeled him as a liar earlier on ran towards him . She gestured to the upper level as she spoke .
‘His mother?’ Beibei was confounded for a moment that he couldn’t comprehend what she was saying .
The girl eyed the dazed-looking Ming Beichen with suspicion . “That pretty sister said that she is your mommy . Is that true?”
Pretty sister?
Beibei’s eyes literally sparkled at that moment . “Yeah, she is my mommy!”
He strode eagerly towards the third level .
The parent-teacher conference was held on the third level . He gripped the railing as he climbed the stairs .
The girl yelled as she tried to catch her breath . “Ming Beichen! Wait for me! Why are you running so quickly?”
Beibei ran upstairs without stopping at all . He ran to the meeting room and stopped outside the entrance . He saw some of his friends from his class and the rest were from the other classes .
Everyone turned their attention to Ming Beichen and they smiled at him . Someone spoke up . “Ming Beichen, is that really your mother?” A boy pointed to a pretty woman with a long ponytail wearing a red-checkered coat .
Beibei didn’t answer and simply parted the crowd .
He caught a glimpse of Su Yue and exclaimed, “Mommy!”
His voice echoed clearly around the room . He was visibly emotional and excited at the sight of her .
