Gu Wen had already been scolded by Gu Jianshe at school. He felt a chill run down his back at Chu Qiao’s words. His head practically shrank into his chest, and he didn’t dare to make a sound.

Gu Jianshe pretended not to hear and dragged his son away. 

Recently, his luck has been terrible, nothing going smoothly. 

He had originally wanted to give Gu Ye a ‘grand gift’, but Gu Ye had effortlessly resolved the matter and even sent his men to do hard labor in the workshop, leaving him humiliated by everyone.

The only thing that comforted him was that Gu Ye hadn’t sold a single machine tool yet. 

If, after two more months, Gu Ye still couldn’t make a sale, he would stir up trouble at the factory and get this incompetent fool removed from his position as Sales Section Chief. 

How could someone who couldn’t even sell machine tools have the nerve to keep the position of sales section chief? 

The father and son walked quickly, perfectly in sync, both unwilling to face Chu Qiao and Dabao.

But Chu Qiao wasn’t about to let them off so easily. 

She took a few steps forward and shouted, “Gu Jianshe, are you deaf? I called you, didn’t you hear me? I’m your aunt, where are your manners? Are you pretending to be deaf or blind?”

Dabao also joined in and said, “Gu Wen, are you deaf? Your uncle’s calling you!”

Father and son clenched their jaws in unison and had no choice but to stop. 

There were so many parents and students at the school gate. Chu Qiao and Dabao might not care about saving face, but they did.

Forcing a smile, Gu Jianshe pretended he had just noticed her, “I didn’t see you just now. Aunt, do you need something?”

Chu Qiao gave a cold laugh and said mockingly, “Deputy Secretary Gu, such a lofty figure! I had to call you several times before your noble feet would stop.”

Gu Jianshe gave an awkward smile but said nothing. 

A real man didn’t argue with women, so he decided to treat her words like nonsense.

Anyway, Chu Qiao didn’t expect him to answer. She just wanted to deliberately humiliate this b*stard. 

So she changed the subject to grades, “How many points did Xiao Wen get? He used to score better than Dabao, so he must’ve improved a lot this time, right? Dabao made a big improvement.”

Gu Wen’s face flushed bright red, his fists clenching in shame and discomfort.

Gu Jianshe’s expression darkened. He had already asked about the results earlier and found out that Zhou Dabao, that little rascal, had scored 99 and 95,  far higher than his own son. 

He now strongly suspected that Teacher He had given Dabao extra help or even leaked the test questions. 

Otherwise, how else could that rascal outperform his son?

But this was only a suspicion, and Gu Jianshe couldn’t say it openly. He would wait for the next exam. 

Hmph… if Dabao scored that well again, he would go straight to the principal and report Teacher He for favoritism and corruption. What kind of teacher cheated like this? Outrageous!

“One good test score doesn’t mean anything. Who knows if those results are even real? My Xiao Wen may have done a bit worse this time, but his grades have always been steady. Unlike some people, who were at the very bottom before but suddenly shoot to the top. Hmph! Just because a sparrow flaps its wings a few times, it thinks it can be an eagle? Dream on!” Gu Jianshe sneered.

Even without naming the names, the meaning was obvious. 

Even Dabao, who was still a child, could understand. 

His face turned red, his little chest puffing with anger. 

His grades were real! He wasn’t a sparrow, it was Gu Wen who was the sparrow!

Chu Qiao gently patted his head and bent down to give him a reassuring look. 

Only then did Dabao calm down, though his little face still looked a bit wronged. But it felt much better knowing his aunt believed in him, that was enough. 

“Gu Jianshe, you’re wrong. Sparrows may be small, but they’re still birds, so they can fly in the sky. As for some people ah… because they are as lowly as ants, no matter how much they daydream, they will always be insects, and will never become birds. They’re not even in the same league.”

Then she looked at Dabao and said, “Dabao, remember this, never treat ants as your opponents. Your opponents are the eagles in the sky, not the ants in the mud. Got it?”
