{“Auntie” backed me up 1}
Yu Suyue dashed back to the KTV booth in a flash.
Compared to the slight awkwardness she just experienced, she cared more about the million she had been longing for.
She suddenly looked at the cute, obedient child and fell into thought; why not accept it? For someone like Bian Yuan, spending a million was no different from her spending a hundred.
Just a drop in the bucket.
Why should she act like the heroines in dramas, rejecting money for the sake of her so-called “self-respect”?
Moreover, she didn’t need to prove her noble love through money.
Taking the million didn’t mean she would hoard it all; she could use it to enroll the child in some classes.
That way, it would all make sense.
With that, Yu Suyue snatched the disposable cotton microphone from the little one’s hand and thoughtfully asked, “Xingxing, do you want to learn something new?”
She tried to sound casual, but quickly realized the child was unhappy.
Bian Yixing sensed that neither her future nor past mom had any plans to stop enrolling her in various classes.
To that, Mom was relentless.
Bian Yixing initially didn’t respond, instead revealing a subtle, sorrowful look in her eyes and lowering her head dejectedly.
To Yu Suyue, this might have been a momentary lapse in judgment.
But to others, it appeared “unforgivable.”
Several roommates hurried to “greet” Yu Suyue, with Song Yuren always at the forefront. “What was that about earlier? You stepped out for a bit and came back looking so frustrated and regretful. You didn’t reflect on it, and now you’re putting our Xingxing through this!”
Qimei chimed in, slowly moving from the bright red sofa to Yu Suyue’s side, as if trying to reason with her emotionally, saying, “Yeah, yeah, Xingxing is still young. Isn’t the education bureau promoting stress reduction these days?”
Top student Xiao Yang recalled her own experiences attending various training classes in her youth. Although the outcomes might have been good, she missed out on a significant part of her childhood.
She quickly stepped forward to intervene, “Susu, I know you probably mean well…”
Hearing this made Yu Suyue felt even more guilty, since she didn’t even have “good intentions” in mind when she suggested this.
Wasn’t she just worried about the “opportunity that won’t come again” that the big shot mentioned?
She didn’t have noble thoughts; she just wanted to ask Bian Yuan for money.
With several aunts backing her up, Bian Yixing couldn’t be happier.
In the future, Aunt Yuren would go overseas and out of reach; She only saw the other two aunts she had in her mom’s contacts.
She never experienced to have so many people gathered to speak up for her.
Being the center of attention made her mood soar, like a little cat proudly lifting its tail.
Bian Yixing felt emboldened, and for the first time, she challenged her mom’s “good intentions” about tutoring, saying, “Susu, I believe some of my great qualities can’t be developed in those dull institutions.”
Yu Suyue suddenly realized the child didn’t seem as obedient as usual.
She attributed this to the adults’ “indulgence.”
But now, she felt outnumbered and couldn’t argue with the crowd, so she resolved to persuade Bian Yixing with her words.
“Surely, you don’t want to just laze around with us all day?”
Yu Suyue “deliberately” led the child, “Don’t you want to be part of a group and play with kids your age?”
In her mind, she had already planned eighteen artistic activities for Bian Yixing to join.
Isn’t it expected for the children of the wealthy to be multi-talented?
