Chapter 311: Look Away
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you were doing home visits today. Look at the mess of this home.” The middle-aged woman was very polite. She was no different from the other parents Teacher Liu had visited. However, she kept facing away from Teacher Liu. It was strange.
“Xiao Guo’s mom… Are you alright?” Teacher Liu studied the woman’s back. Her dishevelled, black hair reached her shoulders. The woman was at home, but she was well-dressed. She wore a dress that was very expensive but not very fitting.
“It’s indeed not that convenient for me at the moment. Did Xiao Guo give you any trouble? This damn kid. I’ll be sure to teach her a lesson tonight.” The woman walked backwards out of the bedroom.
Teacher Liu’s breathing caught in her throat. However, she instantly shielded Xiao Guo behind her. “It has nothing to do with the child. If anything, I have concerns about your teaching methods. Meaningless beatings and scares will affect the normal growth of a child…” Teacher Liu shut up instantly because the middle-aged woman was already one meter away from her face. There was silence inside the living room. Due to the immense pressure, Teacher Liu had to take a step back.
The middle-aged woman didn’t turn around, but she appeared to be able to see from the back of her head. She didn’t bump into anything.
“Xiao Guo’s mom, if you’re not feeling well today, I can come back another day.” Teacher Liu felt that the woman was mentally ill. She held Xiao Guo’s wrist and planned to leave. However, as she turned around, she noticed a man standing facing away from her outside the living room door. He appeared to be Xiao Guo’s father.
“When did he arrive?”
Teacher Liu felt a chill run down her spine. She held Xiao Guo’s hand, and her palm started to sweat.
“Teacher Liu, since you’re here, you should stay for a meal.” The middle-aged man’s voice was welcoming and gentle. “We brought something delicious for you.”
