Are you okay today? You seem a bit strange.

Gu Mingxi was still.

Li Han stood up and raised her chin to Gu Guoxiang. “It was me. What about it? I agreed to it.”

“Are you crazy?!” Gu Guoxiang was unable to contain his anger. “Why would you agree to let him film this kind of thing?! Is it an honor? Does this look good? Going on TV to let the whole city see this?! What exactly were you thinking?!”

“Have you forgotten when Gu Mingxi graduated from primary school and junior high?!” Li Han shouted out loudly, her eyes welling with tears. “He obviously scored more than the requirement, but they didn’t let him have an interview! We even went to Vast Voyage and Ninth High! Both schools rejected him just because he didn’t have arms! And that was just high school! When he goes to college in the future, he’ll have to live in the dorms too! It will be even more troublesome to admit Mingxi then! Can you guarantee that the school he wants to go to won’t reject him because he has no arms? Can you guarantee it 100 percent?!”

She pulled Gu Mingxi up and pushed him in front of Gu Guoxiang. “Look clearly, Gu Guoxiang! Gu Mingxi is our son! He’s 17 years old! Look at his eyes, his nose! Look at his height! He’s your son! Do you two look alike? I’ve never understood why you think he’s an embarrassment to you! Mingxi’s already doing very well! What more do you want from him?!”

Li Han rarely shouted like this at Gu Guoxiang. She exerted her strength and pushed Gu Mingxi to Gu Guoxiang. Gu Guoxiang took two steps back, and Gu Mingxi pressed back against his mother’s strength. The three of them slowly stopped.

Gu Guoxiang wiped his face with his hands. When he dropped his hands, his eyes were red. “I will think of something to help Mingxi get to college. Whether it’s through connections (guanxi), whether we have to send gifts, I’ll think of something! But how could you agree to this kind of thing without even talking to me about it?”

With a trembling hand, he pointed to the black screen of the TV. “My, Gu Guoxiang’s, son was just shown to the entire city on TV! See how he lives his day! How fresh, using feet to eat! Isn’t it pitiful? And laughable? Which way do you want people to think?! What do you want my friends, my clients, my subordinates to think?!”

“I didn’t tell you because I knew that’s what you would think,” Li Han said coldly. “I don’t think it’s embarrassing or disgraceful at all. Gu Guoxiang, I’ve already seen through you. I don’t expect anything anymore. I just want Gu Mingxi to get into a good college. I’m willing to do anything that will help him get there. Expect you to make connections? Hmph! I might as well have expectations of a dog!”

Hearing this, Gu Guoxiang raised his hand at Li Han. Gu Mingxi saw this unfolding and immediately used his body to push Li Han away. Gu Guoxiang’s palm landed on his back with a pa!

“Mingxi!”

Li Han embraced him as she cried. Gu Mingxi clenched his teeth as he tried to reign in his staggered steps. His back was in great pain. He turned back to look at his dad and said in a low voice, “Dad, the program has already been broadcast. What’s the point of saying all this now. And you’ve already hit [someone] and scolded [someone]. Stop blaming Mom. I was the one who insisted on going onto the program. It has nothing to do with Mom. I was worried about getting into college. I was wrong not to discuss it with you, and for that, I’m sorry.”

The three of them were silent. After awhile, Gu Guoxiang picked up his keys from the tea table and said, “You’ve grown up and you have your own plans. It doesn’t matter what your dad thinks about it, ah…”
