Chapter 119 Don’t Hook Up with My Mom
Minghai Middle School was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and there were loud gongs and drums and firecrackers... but there were no firecrackers, as setting off firecrackers was generally not allowed in urban areas.
Anyway, the first days of school are very lively.
It is now past the reporting time and there are few people at the campus gate. A few teaching buildings away, I can hear the entrance march being played from a certain direction. It is the song that everyone is familiar with at the annual sports meeting.
The taxi braked suddenly in front of the school gate. Before the car stabilized, a beautiful young woman dressed in exquisite and elegant clothes, holding a pretty girl in school uniform with glowing white skin, rushed out and ran to the school for her life.
The driver got out of the car and chased after me: "Money, you didn't pay!"
Xu Ruting took out her wallet from her shoulder bag while running, then raised her hand and a hundred-dollar bill floated in the air and blew into the driver's face with the wind.
The driver took off the money, looked at it, and ran after it again: "Not enough, not enough!!"
Just now, when Xu Ruting and Yu Yi found that they had gone astray, they both panicked. They ran farther and farther, getting more and more anxious. In the end, they simply dumped the Prado on an open space and hailed a taxi to Minghai Middle School. The fare was nearly two hundred yuan, which showed that Xu Ruting had gone astray so far.
“Hurry up…”
While Xu Ruting kept apologizing to Yu Yi, she asked anxiously, "Baby, do you know which class you are in?"
"Class 1." Yu Yi panted heavily, her face flushed, and pointed in the direction of the indoor basketball court. "Auntie, the entrance ceremony is over there. Let's go there first."
"Oh well."
"Auntie, I'll go find the teacher later, don't worry, it's okay."
"Uh-huh!"
The two walked into the basketball court, and Yu Yi found her homeroom teacher, a dignified-looking female teacher who was about fifty years old.
"Are you Yu Yi's mother?" The female teacher smiled and shook hands with Xu Ruting. She took a quick look and saw that this parent had a beautiful face, fair skin, and was well-dressed. Except that she looked a little dishevelled from running earlier, she looked like a lady.
But that’s not a big deal, as most of the students at Minghai Middle School come from well-off families. The only thing the female teacher lamented was that Xu Ruting was really too young.
Is it too early to have a baby?
Xu Ruting realized that she had misunderstood and tried to explain. Her hand, which was held by Yu Yi, suddenly tightened a little, and then she heard the little princess answer crisply, "Teacher, this is my mother."
The female teacher smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the mother to the parents' area, and then come to the class line yourself."
As she spoke, the female teacher pointed to the stands, which were filled with parents who came to attend the entrance ceremony.
"Auntie, I'm sorry."
Yu Yi stuck out her tongue and explained in a low voice: "Others were brought by their parents, but not me. I'm a little sad..."
Xu Ruting had never thought of this. She was just curious why all the beautiful girls her son came into contact with liked to recognize her as their mother. Last time, Nian Gao was the same. He called her mom as soon as they met, which scared Xu Ruting.
She doesn’t even know how to be a mother, how can she be someone else’s mother-in-law?
Yu Yi returned to the class line and stood in line. After waving to Xu Ruting, she began to listen carefully to the speech of the school leader on the stage. The school rules and regulations of New York private high schools are not at all looser than those in China, and are even stricter. Except for the issue of premature love, Yu Yi had no problems with the local environment.
Auntie is silly and very cute.
Standing in the line, Yu Yi's thoughts drifted far away. She heard that after getting married in China, there will be a lot of contact with both sets of parents, and they may even have to live together. It should be very interesting to live with your aunt every day in the future.
Hey, where are the people?
Yu Yi suddenly realized that Xu Ruting on the stage was gone. She looked around anxiously and finally ran to her head teacher with her back bent: "Teacher, my mother is missing!"
The female teacher was indifferent and said sternly: "Go back to the team. How can your mother, who is an adult, get lost?"
“She could really get lost!”
“…”
Yu Yi begged the teacher to take her to find her mother. Xu Ruting, carrying a bag, suddenly ran into the venue, crouched down and came to Yu Yi, and took out a bottle of ice water with a grin.
"You've been running under the sun for so long, you must be feeling very hot. Drink some water quickly or you won't get a heat stroke." Xu Ruting unscrewed the bottle cap and handed the water to Yu Yi.
Seeing this, the female teacher at the side smiled and said, "Yuyi's mother, the ceremony will be over soon. You can't spoil your child too much. You need to give her some space to exercise and grow."
"Oh, teacher, I am just this good kid." Xu Ruting smiled along, she got into the role quite quickly.
Watching Yu Yi drinking half a bottle of water in small sips, Xu Ruting took out a tissue to help wipe the sweat off her forehead, then returned to the stands and found an empty seat to sit down.
Most of the parents were well-dressed and clean. Most of the mothers were also dressed up, some with jewels, some with elegant grace. But there was only one in the whole audience who was as beautiful and young as Hsu Ruting.
Not to mention the male parents, even many female parents couldn't help but steal a glance at the young mother who accompanied her child to the ceremony alone.
She is so young and beautiful, maybe she is my stepmother.
"Hello." Sitting next to Xu Ruting was a middle-aged man with a noble temperament, his hair combed meticulously, and wearing thin-framed glasses on his nose. He took the initiative to greet Xu Ruting.
Xu Ruting didn't even look at the man next to her, her eyes were always on Yu Yi, staring at the little girl, as if she was afraid of losing her. When the two of them, big and small, looked at each other, they waved to each other tacitly.
The man was not discouraged and continued to greet: "Hello?"
"Oh, hello." After Xu Ruting recognized Yu Yi's location, she felt relieved. She unscrewed a bottle of water and drank a sip. She looked at the man next to her and asked kindly, "Comrade, do you want to drink?"
Having said that, he gave the remaining bottle of water to the man and said, "Nothing else, just take it."
When the man heard Xu Ruting call him that, he had almost formed an idea in his mind that this beautiful and elegant lady should be in the system, otherwise she wouldn't call him that.
"Thanks."
The man took the water and asked with a smile: "Why did you come here alone with the child? Doesn't your father have time?"
Xu Ruting was stunned. Yu Yi had never explained this issue before, and her idiot son had never mentioned it either, so she could only use the tricks from TV dramas to get by.
"Her father is gone."
The man wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. He could only act regretful: "I'm sorry, it's not easy to raise a child alone. To be honest, I'm divorced too. It's really not easy to raise a child. It must be even harder for you as a woman..."
The man just wanted to tell Xu Ruting that he was single, but he didn't expect this elegant and beautiful lady to suddenly turn around and ask: "Why did you get divorced?"
"Uh... the relationship broke down."
“Why didn’t the relationship break down before you got married?”
"Well... this question is a bit complicated."
"You're tired of the old and love the new, aren't you?"
"No, absolutely not."
"Why is that?"
"Uh... the relationship broke down." The man was a little confused by the question and quickly changed the subject, "Well, what class is your child in? Maybe he is in the same class as my daughter."
Xu Ruting has been beautiful since she was a child. When she was young, her parents taught her not to talk to strange men, let alone go out to play with them. After she got married and had children, her son taught her not to talk to strange men when she went out, let alone go out to play with them.
"I won't tell you." Xu Ruting didn't even look at the man and sat down next to him.
The man was ready to keep asking questions. The opening ceremony had already ended, and parents were getting up to go downstairs to meet their children. Xu Ruting was no exception. She rushed out ahead of everyone else and held Yu Yi's hand, fearing that she would lose her.
"This lady, this lady..."
The man led a little girl to Xu Ruting with a smile on his face, "Don't you think this is a coincidence? My daughter and your daughter are in the same class. It's fate. How about this, my daughter and I will treat you and your daughter to a simple meal. It's a good opportunity for the two children to get to know each other and get along with each other. What do you think?"
Xu Ruting blinked and looked at Yu Yi.
Xiao Yuyi took a step forward, stood in front of Xu Ruting, opened her arms to protect her behind her, looked up at the man and said seriously: "Uncle, don't hook up with my mother!"
