It's a Good Thing

"No wonder Teacher Zhou said that nowadays, any riff-raff can get into your school," a fashionable woman remarked with disdain. "I understand now. Xiao Tian, you are not to associate with this family's child. In class, act as if you don't know him. You come from high society, and we can't let these people drag you down. Let's go!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled her son, Xiao Tian, away. Her hurried steps seemed as if she feared the very ground beneath her feet would lower her worth. 

Xiao Tian, however, looked back with a reluctant gaze, seemingly wanting to resist but not daring to speak up. He could only be led away.

Gu Zi watched this unfold, noticing a hint of genuine envy in the boy's eyes. She shook her head, finding the woman's behavior unreasonable. Yet, she felt no need to retaliate. After all, with such a mother, the one who would be led astray in the future would be her child.
