Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 50.5: The Bitter Heroine (37)
Aliang paused, as if he didn’t expect Shao Yu to make such a direct comment.
“You have a lot of words to say. Why didn’t you say these words to Miss Liu before?” Shao Yu asked.
“Can Miss Liu be the same? She has studied for so many years, of course she is different.” Aliang said without thinking. In his heart, Miss Liu is just a kind and capable sister, so he instinctively feels that he should not compare Miss Liu with his mother.”
“Why are they different? Why do you divide them into different levels?” Shao Yu asked.
“It’s just different. I think it’s normal for Miss Liu to work, but when my mother goes out to work, I think forget it.” Aliang’s feelings are very real.
He really loves the old lady, but he really despises the old lady.
“If I tell your mother what you said…”
A Liang interrupted Shao Yu before he could finish speaking and said hurriedly, “No, you must never tell them.”
“Okay, I won’t tell them, but you have to tell the truth too.”
“What truth?” Aliang was a little flustered.
“Who told you these nonsense that your mother can’t work?” Shao Yu asked.
Aliang’s eyes moved around.
Shao Yu immediately said: “If you don’t tell me, I will go to your mother to complain now.”
This complaint was too painful for Aliang to bear. He could not care about anything else and could only say, “Mother Zhang told me.”
“Why do you believe whatever others say? Don’t you have any judgment of your own?” Shao Yu didn’t blame him. After all, the child was still young, and the current environment was like this, and he was no exception.
“I thought so too. When mom and sister go out to work, the alley is full of rumors. Even though Miss Liu is very capable, isn’t there still a lot of gossip about her? I don’t want them to suffer the same fate.” Aliang’s starting point was good.
Shao Yu reached out and touched his head, and in front of Aliang’s unguarded eyes, he slapped him hard on the top of his head. The unfortunate child’s scalp immediately tightened.
“Dad!” A Liang shouted sadly.
“Just say what others say. You are their family, but don’t you know what kind of people they are?” Shao Yu asked.
“Even if I knew, their reputation would still be ruined…”
“Reputation? They don’t care about it, but you do.” Shao Yu said.
Ah Liang lowered his head and said, “They are so busy every day, maybe they don’t know what is going on in the alley.”
“It doesn’t matter what the rumor is. Instead of helping to dispel it, you come home and show off your power.” Shao Yu said.
Aliang pursed his lips and insisted on his own idea.
Shao Yu added: “They are doing serious things. No matter what people say, we are family members, so of course we should do our best to support them.”
Aliang still refused to accept it.
Shao Yu said again: “Let’s go out now.”
After saying that, Shao Yu directly entrusted his three granddaughters to the care of reliable neighbors.
“Where are we going?” A Liang asked in surprise.
Shao Yu picked him up, didn’t speak, just walked out of the box with him.
Aliang followed him, and seeing Yunxi Road, he immediately knew where he was going, and hurriedly said, “No, don’t go, my mother will scold me to death.”
He thought Shao Yu was going to file a complaint.
Shao Yu turned around and said, “Look carefully later.”
It’s dinner time now. The western restaurant has become famous because of the “One Corner” charity. Many people come here to visit, so the restaurant’s business is very good.
Shao Yu pulled his son in, found a small corner to sit down, and ordered two simple meals.
“Dad, do you want to eat here? I’m not used to Western food, and it’s very expensive.” Aliang was considerate of Shao Yu’s wallet.
But Shao Yu didn’t show any consideration for his son. Instead, he said, “I know you brought money. You can pay the bill later.”
“Dad, I’m still a child.” Aliang tried to resist.
“Children don’t have the same wild thoughts as you do.” Shao Yu’s way of punishing the child was to make him pay the bill.
Aliang had a bitter face as he looked at the food in front of him. He felt that all the money he had worked hard to earn most of the month was spent on this meal today.
Shao Yu did not feel the slightest bit of shame for bullying a child. Instead, he said, “Look at your mother and your sister.”
Aliang looked in the direction Shao Yu pointed.
The first person he saw was his sister.
Shao Yingniang was leaning slightly sideways, listening to the customer in front of her order. She always had a gentle smile on her face. The customer was also smiling, looking very relaxed.
Aliang’s mind flashed with the image of his sister when she was at home. When his sister was at home, although her face was full of smiles every time she saw her brother, there was still a hint of sadness in her eyes sometimes.
And now, under the bright lights of the restaurant, the Shao Yingniang he saw seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light, making her look particularly radiant and charming.
Just by looking at her, you can tell that she must be at peace and content in her heart.
After Shao Yingniang helped the customers take their order, she walked towards the kitchen with her back straight. She no longer looked shy as before and appeared very confident.
Aliang couldn’t help but ask himself in his heart, is it possible that just a job can bring about such a complete change in a person?
“Look at your mother again.” Shao Yu reminded at the right time.
Aliang looked over and saw Liu Cuifen standing next to a table of guests. She was facing an elderly lady.
The old lady was elegantly dressed, obviously coming from a wealthy family, but at this moment she was amused by Liu Cuifen’s witty remarks, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with Liu Cuifen’s service.
Although Liu Cuifen was serving others, she did not seem inferior to others. The smile in her eyes and on her mouth came from the heart.
So radiant, she seems to be several years younger.
