Chapter 142
Hu Guang's crying broke his mother's heart. "What's wrong, sweetie?" she asked.
Hu Guang, nestled in his mother's arms, couldn't help but say, "I want to become stronger. I don't want Mom to be bullied anymore."
No one expected such words from a small child.
Instantly, tears fell from Hu's mother's eyes. Suppressing her sorrow, she said, "Mom hasn't been bullied."
Hu Guang was quickly comforted. Afterwards, education expert Weng Lan took the child away.
Shen Wei asked Hu's mother, "So what do you plan to do?"
Hu's mother replied, "I'll get a divorce as soon as possible."
Previously, Hu Guang's father had wanted a divorce.
But Hu's mother refused, feeling that since he had an affair during their marriage, why should she make way for the mistress?
Out of spite, she consistently refused to divorce.
However, this stubbornness only intensified Hu's father's aversion towards her and their son. Now, it had escalated to verbal abuse.
There was no point in keeping such an unfaithful husband, but the child shouldn't suffer any more harm.
Shen Wei assured her, "You can rest easy about your child at the kindergarten. We have dedicated education experts here. We'll take special care of him."
Hu's mother kept expressing her gratitude.
When she left, her eyes were red.
At that time, her mind was entirely focused on the divorce, somewhat neglecting her child.
By the time Hu's mother realized something was wrong, the child had already become obsessive.
The words the child had just spoken felt like a knife twisting in her heart.
Hu's mother didn't know how to raise such a child, and she was grateful that Starry Sky Kindergarten was willing to take on this heavy responsibility.
The parent spent over an hour with Hu Guang.
A mother's presence can make a child feel safe.
As soon as Hu's mother left, Hu Guang's spirits dampened a bit.
Shen Wei called the child over and asked, "Do you want to become stronger?"
Hu Guang nodded emphatically.
He was just a child, not a fool.
He had heard that the mistress's child was attending a very good school.
That child was studying very well, and he also wanted to excel and make his father regret his actions.
Even Hu Guang's mother hadn't realized that such a young child could have so many complex thoughts.
Shen Wei said, "We have a separate class for nurturing Little Geniuses. You can study in this class, but it might be extremely challenging!"
Su Jun had evaluated Hu Guang and found that he was just an early bird, knowing a bit more than others, but certainly not a genius like He Lingfeng.
It's very difficult for ordinary people to enter the world of geniuses.
But since he had this desire, Shen Wei didn't want to suppress it.
She gave him some good advice: "The study pressure will be immense. Don't cry if you lose once; the process of becoming stronger is full of difficulties and obstacles."
"Also, don't care too much about what others think. You're actually much luckier than other children because your mom loves you, and your teachers and classmates love you too."
"Okay!" the child replied.
It was uncertain how much the child had absorbed.
But this kind of equal communication truly gave the child a great sense of security.
Sometimes, it's better not to treat children entirely as children.
Treating them like adults can give children an inexplicable feeling of respect.
That same day, Hu Guang's mother signed the divorce agreement with the child's father.
They also divided all their property.
When Hu Guang returned home, his father was moving things out.
Hu Guang watched silently from the side.
Although Hu's father had gotten what he wanted, seeing the coldness of his ex-wife and child still upset him.
He said to Hu Guang, "I bought shoes and a schoolbag for your little brother."
Hu Guang's eyes darkened.
Before the child's father could say more,
Hu's mother grabbed an ashtray and smashed it hard against him. There was a loud bang, and blood started flowing.
Hu Guang's mother wanted to tear the man apart.
Even if they couldn't be husband and wife anymore, the child was still his own flesh and blood.
Using the child to hurt the mother - he was no longer fit to be a father; he was a beast.
Holding his injured forehead, Hu's father said, "You crazy woman, no one will ever like you."
Hu Guang said, "I like her. I like Mom!" His voice was firm, and he repeated it twice.
In fact, this child cared a lot about his father.
But at this moment, he still stood up to protect his mother.
His father, covering his head, said, "I need to go to the hospital," and ran off with his things!
It looked quite like he was fleeing in panic.
Hu Guang's mother said to him, "Mom will buy you a schoolbag and shoes. You'll have everything others have."
She was afraid this incident would cause further psychological harm to Hu Guang, and her hatred for Hu Guang's father reached its peak.
Hu Guang remained silent for a while, not saying anything more.
The next day, Hu Guang's mother told the kindergarten teachers about the incident.
The class teacher was a very attentive person.
She discovered that it was Hu Guang's birthday that week.
The parents, preoccupied with the divorce, had forgotten to mention it.
So the kindergarten decided to throw a grand birthday party for the little one.
Shen's father personally made a cake for Hu Guang.
Others at the kindergarten prepared a beautiful birthday room.
Shen Wei bought him shoes and a schoolbag.
They were from top brands known for making excellent children's shoes.
Other teachers bought chocolates and snacks, all things that children love.
On Hu Guang's birthday, the teacher couldn't help but announce, "We have a little birthday star in our class today. Can anyone guess who it is?"
Hu Guang was excited.
But he had been so focused on studying lately that he hadn't played much with his classmates.
His eyes dimmed once again, fearing that no one liked him.
Soon, the teacher revealed, "It's Hu Guang!"
Then everyone burst into applause: "It's your birthday? Happy birthday!" The children's cheerful wishes made Hu Guang's eyes turn red.
But that wasn't all. Everyone crowded around Hu Guang and led him to that special room.
There was a huge birthday cake.
It had five tiers in total.
Every child would be able to have a piece of cake.
The little fellow blew out the candles and made a wish, then opened his presents.
Hu Guang was so excited his face turned red.
He was especially thrilled when he opened the schoolbag and shoes.
He also ate longevity noodles.
The teacher edited the entire video and sent it to Hu Guang's mother.
Hu Guang's mother felt somewhat regretful. As a mother, she had been so busy dealing with her ex-husband's affairs these past few days that she had forgotten her child's birthday.
Thankfully, there was Starry Sky Kindergarten.
That evening when they returned home, his mother held another small birthday celebration for him.
Only the two of them remained, and they had even added a gift.
Hu Guang said, "Today was truly wonderful." With so many people wishing him a happy birthday, he realized he wasn't an unloved child after all.
Hu Guang's mother, hearing this, burst into tears: "You are Mommy's most precious baby."
As she embraced her child, she felt genuinely grateful to Starry Sky Kindergarten.
She could sense the tension that had always been present in her child's body gradually relaxing.
The psychological education at Starry Sky Kindergarten was indeed highly professional.
Giving her child such a warm and heartfelt birthday celebration. A thousand thank-yous couldn't express her gratitude, so it all transformed into generous tips.
The next day, she went on a tipping spree in the livestream room, sending multiple extravagant virtual gifts.
Various tipping special effects dazzled viewers in the livestream.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden appearance of a wealthy benefactress.
So this is what it means to be rich?
The rich truly spare no expense when it comes to showing their appreciation.
