Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 403 - 401 Godfather Arrives (Part Two)

"Daddy, Mommy, I’m really scared."

"Sweetheart, don’t be nervous, okay? Mommy and Daddy are waiting for you outside," came the gentle voice of the mother.

"That’s right, once your interview is over, Daddy will take you to the amusement park to play. Go for it," said Daddy’s voice.

...

Zaizai looked towards the family of three without speaking, but his big eyes seemed lost in thought.

Worried that Zaizai might be envious of others, Jiayi crouched down and diverted her son’s attention: "Don’t be afraid, Mommy is here."

Zaizai’s little mouth curved, his brow furrowed, and he chuckled with assertiveness: "Who’s scared? It’s Mommy who’s scared, right?"

Just then, the teacher in charge called out, "Chu Zhuoting."

It was Zaizai’s turn.

Jiayi made an encouraging gesture and watched as Zaizai was led in by the teacher.

Though Jiayi had considerable confidence in Zaizai, she still inexplicably felt her palms sweat, nearly more anxious than if she were taking the exam herself.

Estimating it would be another ten minutes or so, Jiayi decided to go to the nearby restroom to wash her face and hands, hoping to relax a little.

As soon as she entered the restroom, she could hear a conversation drifting over from outside. It grew increasingly closer as two people headed towards the restroom.

One voice, belonging to a middle-aged woman, sounded particularly familiar—it was Mrs. Chen’s voice.

Why would Mrs. Chen come here?

Surprised, Jiayi instinctively hid in a stall. At that moment, the two people entered.

Peering through the crack of the door, Jiayi could see the plump, shrewd-faced middle-aged woman was indeed Mrs. Chen.

The woman who entered with her was a younger matron dressed in gleaming Chanel outfits, suggesting she came from a wealthy background.

Seeing that the restroom was empty, the two of them began to talk louder as they washed their hands in front of the mirror.

The younger matron sounded somewhat resentful, "Didn’t you say you didn’t submit the files for that Chu family’s child? Why did his mother bring him for an interview today?"

"I have no idea how that kid qualified for the interview, but I definitely didn’t put in a good word for him, Mrs. Ma. You know how close I am to you, of course, I would take care of your Daxiong first."

"You’re not playing both sides and taking money from both families, are you?! I gave you so much money, and I also covered the entirety of your family’s eight-day trip to Europe. Moreover, my husband is very familiar with your husband’s direct superior. Whether or not your husband can get a promotion is up to you, Mrs. Ma!"

"Oh my, heaven and earth can be my witness, how could that be possible? Mrs. Ma, of course, I will help your Daxiong. The red envelope that Chu Zhuoting’s mommy gave me was even more than half of what your family offered. I couldn’t be bothered to deal with such stingy behavior and had already refused it!"

"But the problem is that Chu Zhuoting came today. Didn’t you say that kid is extremely clever? At such a young age he’s already accumulated a bunch of certificates. My Daxiong definitely can’t compete with him. Look, there are only two student spots available each day, one was already filled this morning, and there’s only one spot left for the afternoon. If that child came, it wouldn’t affect my Xiong’s chance, would it?"

"No, no, not at all. Don’t worry; I know the vice principal personally. Just a little heads-up, and it’ll be settled in minutes."

The conversation of the two spilled into the restroom without omission.

Jiayi’s face flushed with anger, and she clenched her fists involuntarily, now fully understanding what was going on.

Mrs. Chen and the deputy director’s familiarity was well known by many.

Other parents, of course, also heard the winds of rumors and came to find Mrs. Chen.

Needless to say, Mrs. Ma was very generous and offered a hefty favor, asking Mrs. Chen to help get her child into Qixing.

Knowing Zaizai also wanted an interview opportunity, Mrs. Ma, to eliminate a competitor for her own child, asked Mrs. Chen not to help Zaizai.

Mrs. Chen, having received more substantial benefits, how could she refuse?

This Mrs. Chen, not only did she swallow a month of my salary and do nothing, but she also deceived me by saying the kindergarten looked down on Zaizai!

Did she take me for a fool?

This was intolerable.

With a "clang," Jiayi fiercely pushed open the door and strode out.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma, not expecting someone to be in the cubicle, looked up from the washstand.

Upon recognizing who it was, Mrs. Chen was startled, her complexion embarrassed and guilty as she muttered, "Yo, if it isn’t Zaizai’s mom."

Jiayi had no interest in beating around the bush, "Mrs. Chen, do you perhaps have something to explain to me?"

Mrs. Chen clenched her teeth, "Explain what? I’m busy, step aside."

As she spoke, she grabbed Mrs. Ma’s hand, "Mrs. Ma, let’s go. The results will be out soon, let’s wait outside."

Jiayi had never seen someone so shamelessly thick-skinned, blocking the doorway, "Give me back my money!"

After the meat was eaten, there was no reason to spit it out - Mrs. Chen laughed mockingly, motioning for Mrs. Ma to leave first then disdainfully said, "Return the money? Why should I?"

"You took my money but didn’t recommend my Zaizai to the kindergarten. Instead, you lied to me, saying that the kindergarten didn’t want Xiaobao. Who do you think you are!"

Mrs. Chen began to laugh, "Ha, if you can’t afford the kindergarten, don’t attend! You even have the nerve to ask me for your money back? How embarrassing! Do you think I care about your few thousand dollars’ worth of bird’s nest soup? Do you know what Mrs. Ma gave me? An eight-day trip to Europe and a red envelope with thirty thousand dollars! Do you dare to compare?"

"If you thought our gift wasn’t substantial enough and didn’t want to help us, you should’ve told me directly. I could have quickly found someone else. Instead, you deliberately wasted time and lied to me, saying the kindergarten simply looked down on Zaizai!"

Had it not been for another interview opportunity falling from the sky, Jiayi might have missed Zaizai’s admission time. How could she not be angry?

Mrs. Chen snorted, "Please, your child was never qualified to enter in the first place. I know your child is smart, talented, and surpasses his peers, but so what? Qixing is an elite kindergarten for Yunling City’s official second generation and rich second generation, like Mrs. Ma’s Daxiong. Do you know what the Ma Family does in Yunling City? Mr. Ma is the food tycoon of Yunling City, the largest Chinese chain restaurant in Yunling is owned by them... And your child? Ha, a commoner’s kid. Give it up, Zaizai’s mom. Out of kindness, since your mother, Teacher Xia, once taught my child, I advise you: this kindergarten is not for the grassroots class like yours."

Jiayi was almost livid with rage but before she could speak, Mrs. Chen used her bulky body to shove past her, leaving.

Having calmed down a bit, Jiayi returned to the interview room area. Shortly after, Zaizai happily bounced out, led by a teacher.

"Mommy!" Zaizai flung himself into her arms.

Jiayi glanced at the two figures sitting nearby: Mrs. Ma and Mr. Ma were holding hands with their son Daxiong, who had finished the interview and was waiting for the result.

The couple whispered to each other in low voices.

Next to them, Mrs. Chen was chattering away with a smile plastered on her face, assuring them everything would be fine.
