Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 121 - 82 Damn Old Accounts Reconciliation

On the cozy little living room sofa, a lazy woman was sitting with two little ones.

Qiao Xi leaned against the sofa back, her feet casually crossed and resting on the chaise longue of the sofa. It looked like her eyes were fixed on the TV, but in fact, she was secretly observing the two little ones beside her, and her ears were automatically blocking out the noise from the TV, listening to the two kids chat.

Keke is quite a sensible child.

At least she didn’t stay too long alone in the room with Qiao Yu; she even knew to pull him to the living room.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to see or hear how two fifteen-year-olds were playing house.

The only thing she’s not too satisfied with is that rascal Qiao Yu.

Every time at moments like this, he just sits there woodenly, without any liveliness. Where has his usual cleverness gone?

This made Qiao Xi a bit anxious, though not because she’s eager for something to happen between them, she just thinks if Qiao Yu really gets married in the future, she hopes it would be with Keke.

Mainly because she’s too lazy to get used to and get to know a new woman.

Qiao Xi has always liked simple life and simple interactions. The only issue is, she neither can nor possibly make any decisions for Qiao Yu in such major life matters. She can only be anxious in her heart.

Keke, this girl, is still a bit too naive. When dealing with her son, such a passive little guy, she needs to use both soft and hard tactics.

...

"Brother, do you remember that Huang Junyi from primary school? You know, that not-so-tall but burly guy in Class Three." Xia Keke said, holding her head.

"I can barely remember my own classmates from our class, how could I remember someone from Class Three?" Qiao Yu said, shaking his head with an unchanged expression.

"Really? Let me remind you, then. It’s that guy who went around his class saying I liked him. You found out, and that day when our class and theirs were observing plants behind the school, as soon as the teacher left, you rushed up and punched him.

At that time, the boys from both classes tried to stop the fight, but one side of his face was swollen from your beating. You even warned him that if he dared to talk trash again, you’d cut his tongue out! That was the only time you got into a fight in primary school, do you really not remember?"

After saying that, Xia Keke turned her head and stared at Qiao Yu, asking.

"This..."

Qiao Yu thought about it, then slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, now that you mention it, I remember. That guy shoveled mud onto my shoes, I said a few words to him, and he dared to talk back. Could I tolerate that? Plus, my grandpa had just passed away at that time, I was in a bad mood, wasn’t it natural to hit him?"

Seeing Keke’s pursed lips, Qiao Xi, who had been eavesdropping, finally couldn’t help it.

"Ahem... speaking of fighting, I remembered. Qiao Yu, that’s not what you said back then."

"Huh?" Xia Keke’s attention was drawn by Qiao Xi’s words, the little girl asked in surprise, "Auntie, how do you know this?"

Qiao Yu turned his head bitterly to glare at his mother beside him.

"Because their whole family came directly to our house!"

"The whole family? How come I didn’t know?"

"Of course, you didn’t know, I told your parents not to tell you. At first, her mom kept @ me in the WeChat group scolding various things, I ignored her. Their teacher suggested we handle it at school, but her mom disagreed and insisted on coming to our house for an explanation. Your head teacher was worried something might happen, so she and their head teacher came to our home together."

"What? It went like that! What happened then?" Xia Keke asked in surprise.

"Then your brother Qiao Yu admitted in front of the teacher, it was Huang Junyi who was spreading bad rumors about his sister, even making up lies that you pursued him and became his girlfriend or something. He even called many classmates, who were willing to testify for your brother on speakerphone.

Probably the teacher also thought these trivial issues among primary students were too much trouble, so they left it at mutual apologies. But Qiao Yu wouldn’t agree! Oh, right, his mom also had a bad attitude, and said she wanted to bring you in as well. If it wasn’t clarified, she would complain to the education bureau.

This ended up angering your head teacher, who said if it really blew up, she would write to the education bureau to complain jointly, at worst, she’d quit her job and have the family transfer their kid out."

Qiao Xi narrated the situation at that time casually.

Xia Keke pursed her lips, then turned and glared at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu looked at the ceiling, silent.

"Auntie, so their family just swallowed their pride?"

"Yes, I compensated five hundred yuan to their family. Oh, by the way, I don’t even know how the two adults in their family suddenly had a disagreement. Right, in the end, Huang Junyi’s mom dragged her husband out by his ear."

At this point, Qiao Xi raised her hand to scratch her head, her expression puzzled, probably never having figured out what happened, why the family suddenly had an internal conflict. Thinking back now, she was still confused.

Qiao Yu withdrew his gaze from the ceiling, turned his head toward Qiao Xi, and said irritably, "It was because after the woman wrote the receipt and asked her husband to sign it, she found out he had been secretly staring at you all along. She slapped him, but he didn’t react, and then she lost it! At that moment, you were talking to Teacher Lin and didn’t notice."

"Huh? Really?" Qiao Xi realized, then gently smiled, and lightly said, "No wonder they never came to make trouble again after that."
