Gu Zi nodded, but it was the first time she had seen Su Shen behave so pettily. However, she was pleased, as his thoughts coincided with hers. If she had known that the person knocking at the door was Teacher Zhou, she would not have opened it. Teacher Zhou’s actions towards Su Li had already angered her.

Gu Zi felt that although Su Shen was not the type to hold grudges over trivial matters, he was very particular about her affairs. He would not ask her to step back or be magnanimous without reason. This had scored him significant points in Gu Zi’s heart.

The next day, as noon approached, the doorbell rang. Gu Zi knew that Teacher Zhou had come again. Coincidentally, Grandma Gao was there, having tea and chatting with her. Gu Zi explained the situation to Grandma Gao and asked her to help deal with it.

Grandma Gao, aware of the circumstances, was not fond of Teacher Zhou. Her tone was impatient, but she maintained her composure, “What do you want?”

Teacher Zhou’s mouth twitched at the corners, but seeing a well-dressed elderly woman before her, she dared not vent her frustration. She could only bear it and say, “Madam, I am here to see Gu Zi. Is she in?”

Grandma Gao squinted her eyes, sizing her up for a moment. Her intense gaze made Teacher Zhou’s scalp tingle before she finally spoke, “Looking for Gu Zi? Unfortunately, she’s out running errands. She asked me to help look after the child at home, so I came over. You should come another day.”

With that, Grandma Gao turned and walked away. Teacher Zhou watched her elegant figure retreat, feeling no admiration, only frustration. How could Gu Zi not be home again? It must be intentional!

Ever since she became a teacher at the First Bilingual Primary School, when had she ever been so humiliated? If it weren’t for the fact that she needed the child’s parents’ forgiveness to return to work, she wouldn’t have come to endure this humiliation.

Teacher Zhou gripped the iron gate, grinding her teeth in anger. She wished she could smash the door open to see if Gu Zi was really not home or just pretending. But in the end, she could only think about it. She dared not make a scene here. If things got out of hand, she would be the one to suffer. So, Teacher Zhou had no choice but to leave amidst the barking of the dog.

The third time she came, Teacher Zhou had learned her lesson. She deliberately waited outside the villa during the time when Su Li and the others would return from school. As expected, she saw them. Su Li got out of the car and hadn’t even reached the front door when he saw the ill-looking Teacher Zhou. He stopped in his tracks and tugged at Su Bing, “Brother, that’s Teacher Zhou. She’s here again.”

Su Li was afraid of her, but Su Bing was not. Su Bing, leading his younger brother, stepped forward and asked, “Teacher Zhou, may I ask what you are doing at our doorstep?”

“Are you Su Li’s elder brother?” Teacher Zhou responded immediately, “I’ve been waiting for your school to let out. I’m here to see your mother. Could you let me in?”

Su Li pondered for a moment before declining, “I’m sorry, Teacher Zhou. My mother has told us not to let strangers into our home. Even though you’re Su Li’s teacher, you’re currently on a teaching hiatus, which puts you in the category of a stranger.”

Upon hearing this response, Teacher Zhou was so infuriated that she trembled. She had never encountered such a cheeky child before. It was outrageous!

However, she couldn’t afford to lose her temper now. She still needed to get Gu Zi’s forgiveness to return to teaching. There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with these two brothers later. So, she forced a smile and said, “Su Li’s elder brother, you’re mistaken. I’m still Su Li’s homeroom teacher.”

But Su Bing was not swayed by her words. He was firm in his decision, “Teacher Zhou, you can wait here for my mother. I won’t let you in. Su Li, let’s go inside. Teacher Zhou, don’t follow us in. That would be trespassing, and the security team here would definitely kick you out.”

With that, Su Li casually opened the front door and led his younger brother inside. Teacher Zhou stood rooted to the spot, wanting to follow but not daring to. She could only watch helplessly as the door opened and closed again. She was so frustrated that she stomped her foot. She hadn’t been able to see Gu Zi, let alone receive her forgiveness!

Once the brothers were inside, they found Gu Zi already downstairs, holding Lele. Su Li relayed the earlier encounter to his mother, “Mom, that Teacher Zhou came again. But my brother stopped her with just a few words. She didn’t dare to follow us in. She’s such a coward, haha. I’m not scared of her at all now!”

After listening, Gu Zi calmly placed Lele on the sofa to play and said, “That Teacher Zhou is just a bully. Let her feed the mosquitoes outside for a while.”

Su Li, finally catching on, asked his mother, “Mom, between my brother and me, who’s the soft one and who’s the hard one?”
