Chapter 198 - 090 See your true colors
The couple worked at the research institute, constantly busy with no time to rest.
They had very little time to spend with Gu Bichen since he was young, which left them with a persistent feeling of guilt toward him.
Gu Bichen, however, was particularly mature and incredibly smart from a young age. Whether in daily life or academics, he had never given them any reason to worry.
The more understanding Gu Bichen was, the deeper their sense of guilt grew, always trying to find ways to make up for it.
Moreover, the couple was exceptionally open-minded. Though they were often occupied with work and unable to spend much time with their child, they had nurtured him into an independent and well-rounded individual, giving him the confidence and foundation to pursue his dreams.
While they had expectations for their child, they never forced him against his will. As long as his passions were genuine and he had the courage to shoulder responsibility, they would wholeheartedly support him as parents.
Experience proved that their approach to parenting was incredibly effective.
Upon hearing about their child’s slightly declining grades, if they were like certain parents who desperately wanted their child to succeed, they might have already slammed the table and berated him.
Yet, the couple was delighted instead. Having received higher education themselves, they deeply understood the principle that "there’s always someone better out there."
Their child learning and growing alongside more outstanding individuals would only be beneficial.
Gu Bichen smiled faintly, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for understanding. I’ll continue to work hard."
Mrs. Gu asked enthusiastically, "Achen, have you made any new friends at school?"
