I'm back in 1990

Chapter 924: Regretful Past Actions

"Our teacher broke her promise. She said the exam would be based on the textbook and would be very easy, but some of the questions were actually beyond the syllabus," the little girl said vehemently.

Huang Xiaochuan patiently asked again, "So what score did you get?"

The little girl replied shyly, "Hehe, I got 76 in math."

"What?" Huang Xiaochuan suddenly had an urge to pick up the feather duster.

The little girl was very good at reading people's expressions. As soon as she saw her father's face change, she quickly ran away, not forgetting to leave behind the words, "I'm going to do my homework."

Watching the little girl run upstairs so quickly, Huang Xiaochuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

Perhaps today is an unlucky day according to the Chinese calendar, Huang Xiaochuan's phone rang again. He took out his phone and glanced at it; it was Gao Song.

"What is it?"

"that"

Huang Xiaochuan asked unhappily, "What's the matter that you're stammering about?"

Gao Song, on the other end of the phone, quickly relayed the information he had received to his boss.

It turned out that Fan Yingrong had gone to the school to meet Maowa without permission in the afternoon, and even wanted to take Maowa out for a meal. This was seen by the bodyguard who was secretly responsible for protecting Maowa. The matter was then reported to Gao Song. Knowing that his boss valued his family very much, Gao Song quickly called to report it.

Huang Xiaochuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand. Let them follow, and don't let them out of their sight."

"Understood!" Gao Song quickly agreed.

Then, Huang Xiaochuan made a phone call to Huang Erhe.

"Second Brother, Fan Yingrong just went to the school to see Maowa and is taking him out for dinner. Did you know that?"

Huang Erhe was taken aback: "I don't know?"

"Then you should go to the school and check it out." Seeing that Huang Erhe was unaware of the matter, Huang Xiaochuan could only urge him to go and check it out himself. He couldn't possibly get involved in this matter himself; Huang Erhe had to handle it.

"I'll go right now." Huang Erhe immediately walked towards the door.

Maowa is now in the second year of junior high school. Since Fan Yingrong and Huang Erhe divorced, according to their agreement, the mother and son can spend one day together each month. After Maowa turns eighteen, he will decide for himself when to spend time with Fan Yingrong.

"Mom, didn't we agree on Sunday? Why are you here so early? Let's skip dinner, I have to go to evening self-study! I don't have time." Maowa was a little confused about his biological mother's arrival and did not agree to her request for dinner.

Hearing her son's words, Fan Yingrong was furious: "Look at you, child! I'm your own mother, and I have the right to come see you anytime."

Seeing that Maowa remained silent, Fan Yingrong tidied her hair that had been blown across her forehead. "I've already asked your teacher for leave for you. After we eat, I'll take you straight home. Let's go!"

After saying that, she reached out to pull Maowa, but Maowa subconsciously pulled his hand back, saying, "Okay, I'll go pack my schoolbag."

Fan Yingrong could naturally sense it. Although she was unhappy about her son's estrangement from her, she still smiled and told Maowa to go back to the classroom to pack his schoolbag.

As Maowa grew older, his relationship with his biological mother, Fan Yingrong, became increasingly distant. The reason was simple: they spent too little time together.

Moreover, since Cheng Jing married Huang Erhe, she has treated Maowa as her own son. Therefore, Maowa does not lack maternal love. Although he has never called Cheng Jing "Mom," through long-term interaction, he has gradually come to regard Cheng Jing as his mother in his heart.

Since her divorce from Huang Erhe, Fan Yingrong has not returned to her hometown and has stayed in Shanghai. This is mainly because her household registration had been transferred to Shanghai along with Huang Erhe's demobilization. After the divorce, she also received a considerable amount of property and two houses, which can be regarded as Huang Erhe's compensation to her. The price was that she gave up custody of Maowa, but was given visitation rights.

With money and a house, she naturally wouldn't leave a big city like Shanghai to return to a small county. She already regretted divorcing Huang Erhe, and if she left Shanghai, wouldn't she regret it even more?

As time went by, she noticed that Huang Erhe was living a more and more comfortable life, and that he had another daughter with that woman. This made Fan Yingrong extremely jealous. For a while, she cursed Huang Erhe and Cheng Jing at home every day, but the result was self-evident, and it was all in vain.

However, Fan Yingrong's life was going downhill. She had spent almost all the money she received in the divorce settlement over the years. Having gotten used to spending money extravagantly, she naturally couldn't stop spending it all at once. If she hadn't divorced Huang Erhe, she would have had plenty of money to squander. She had experienced it firsthand. Every year, the money she received from the trust that Huang Erhe's brother set up was a large sum of money.

But they were already divorced, and their relationship had been completely severed. Huang Erhe had nothing to do with her anymore, so there was no way she could use Huang Erhe's money.

She suddenly came to see Maowa today because she discovered a lucrative business opportunity. As long as she buys a certain number of products, develops a downline, and that downline develops its own downline, once she reaches a certain scale, she can lie at home and count her money.

However, she no longer has that much money, but after attending a few classes, she has been brainwashed and is convinced that she has discovered the secret to wealth and that wealth is about to be within her grasp.

After much thought, she realized that only Huang Erhe had the start-up capital she needed. So today, she used the excuse of taking Maowa out to eat to get Huang Erhe to come to her.

Since their divorce, Huang Erhe has rarely seen her, so it's not easy for her to see him. But she knows that as long as she comes to pick up Maowa, Huang Erhe will definitely appear once he hears the news.

About seven or eight minutes later, Maowa dawdled and reappeared in front of Fan Yingrong carrying his schoolbag.

Fan Yingrong didn't mind at all; if it were before, she would have scolded him long ago.

"Maowa, what do you want to eat? Whatever you want to eat, Mommy will take you there," Fan Yingrong asked her son in her gentlest voice.

"Whatever, I'll eat whatever you take me to eat," Maowa said casually.

"Then how about this, I'll take you to eat barbecue!" Although her tone sounded like she was discussing it with Maowa, Fan Yingrong had actually already made her decision.

Maowa was thirteen years old and knew a thing or two. Besides, he understood his mother very well, so he naturally nodded when she said that.

"OK!"

The mother and son arrived at a commercial complex about two or three kilometers from the school and sat down at a Turkish kebab restaurant on the third floor. There was no need to order here; after sitting down, people would bring over all kinds of kebabs, chicken wings, and vegetables. You could just nod and order whatever you wanted, and you could even ask for more of what you liked.

While Maowa was eating, Fan Yingrong asked him, "Maowa, after your stepmother had your little sister, has she been treating you as badly as before?"

Fan Yingrong is trying to sow discord; she wants to drive a wedge between Maowa and Cheng Jing.

However, Maowa was only focused on eating and didn't respond to her at all. Fan Yingrong glared at her son angrily.

Before long, they arrived at Huang Erhe.

He stood at the dining table with a frown, looking at Fan Yingrong: "Go sit over there for a moment, I want to talk to you about something." Huang Erhe didn't want to argue with Fan Yingrong in front of his son.
