CHAPTER 548: I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME THE STEPMOTHER OF YOUR TWO CHILDREN.

Qin Zhen didn’t quite understand what her brother was talking about.

She took two steps forward and asked Hua Mi, "Why didn’t brother personally hit that child?"

"Because he knows that winning in such a way would be without honor," Hua Mi explained.

Hua Mi gestured for Qin Zhen to look at Gong Yi, standing aside, "Look, even my daughter-crazy maniac of a home isn’t making a move, right?"

They possessed absolute strength, but they wouldn’t use such strength against a child with no power to truss a chicken.

Old Gong was actually very angry that his sister was being bullied, but as Gong Yi had said, Old Gong possessed the Superpower of Spiritual Power.

For a child with the Superpower of Spiritual Power, what was always lacking wasn’t Combat Power. Could he not easily twist a giant Mutant Beast into a pretzel from a distance? Would it be difficult for him to deal with a three-year-old child?

Such a child falls short in how to control their own spiritual power.

But Old Gong didn’t turn his opponent into a pretzel directly; he chose to physically fight with this three-year-old child, wasn’t it because he needed to seek fair revenge for his sister?

However, Zhang Chuchu did not understand this reasoning.

She interfered in the war amongst children with an adult’s mindset, rendering the fight unfair while at the same time raising the status of her brother and sister.

If brother and sister were to grow up in such an unfair environment, this would be extremely detrimental to the growth of both of them.

It was very possible that the two children would grow up believing that their status was exceptional, that their identities demanded fear, feeling that everyone was born naturally, and that it was right to yield to them.

Hua Mi said indifferently to Qin Zhen, "There’s no further need to employ Zhang Chuchu; let her go directly, and from now on, do not let her appear within the education system."

"At the same time, you also need to clean up people within the Xiang City Base educational system. Anyone who treats brother and sister differently, and blindly elevates them, such people are not fit to teach and educate."

Qin Zhen found his reasoning sound and listened to Hua Mi say,

"Nowadays, as the apocalypse becomes increasingly dire, after studying those pre-apocalypse cultural and art courses, it’s also necessary to increase their understanding of the apocalypse; after all, it’s too safe inside the Xiang City Base. They should be taught about the Zombies and the Mutant Beasts."

"Furthermore, self-defense and attack skill courses should be established. I believe that the proportion of these courses should be larger than that of the art courses."

Hua Mi’s words garnered a lot of agreement from Qin Zhen, who waited only for Hua Mi and Gong Yi to leave, and then she called Zhang Chuchu to her office.

Qin Zhen handed Zhang Chuchu a card, and said pleasantly,

"You’ve worked hard preparing for the establishment of the school; this is your compensation."

Zhang Chuchu still didn’t understand the hidden meaning in Qin Zhen’s words as she took the Crystal Core Recharge Card with both hands, "Sister, this is what I should do."

After a pause, Zhang Chuchu couldn’t restrain her curiosity, "I just saw Commander Gong come to school with brother and sister, why did Commander Gong leave so suddenly?"

"Have brother and sister decided which class to go to? Can I personally take the sister?"

Originally, Qin Zhen wanted to just send Zhang Chuchu away straightforwardly, but hearing Zhang Chuchu’s words seemed very deliberate, so she inquired,

"Oh? Before, when I asked you to take a dance class, you were unwilling; now how come you want to take the sister directly?"

Zhang Chuchu hung her head low, a bashful expression on her face,

"I feel like Xiuning and I really hit it off, I really like her, and Xiuning has such fair and tender skin. If she grows up to be pretty and knows how to dance, she’s going to have a great temperament, just like me."

Seeing the meaningful smile on Qin Zhen’s face, Zhang Chuchu became even more embarrassed,

"Sister, please help me out. You know that after breaking up with my ex, I’ve been single all this time. In this world, if I can’t find a good man to settle down with, I’d rather be single for life."

"So, there’s a high chance I won’t have children in this lifetime; from now on, I want to look after Xiuning as if she were my own child. Anyway, I see that Hua Mi doesn’t have time to take care of her brother and sister."

Qin Zhen couldn’t help but ask, "Is this all just your imagination? Do you imagine that Hua Mi doesn’t have time to care for her brother and sister?"

"Of course, that’s natural. Hua Mi is now the top manager of the Xiang City Base; she has so many things to attend to every day, she’s bound to neglect the care of her brother and sister."

Zhang Chuchu puffed out her chest, believing it to be self-evident,

"Especially the little sister, a girl who looks so pretty. If she doesn’t have the love of an elder around, she’s going to be very starved of affection in the future."

The reason Zhang Chuchu chose to take care of Hua Xiuning was that she saw Xiuning as a normal, ordinary little girl.

Old Gong’s child was also nice, beautiful, and the only son of Gong Yi; he would probably inherit Gong Yi’s garrison team someday.

But sometimes Old Gong gave Zhang Chuchu the impression of being too cold, as if Old Gong understood everything, saw everything clearly, and couldn’t be measured with the wisdom of ordinary people.

Zhang Chuchu wasn’t sure she could control Old Gong.

So, to be safe, she chose the more ordinary Xiuning to handle.

Qin Zhen shook her head, and spoke to Zhang Chuchu with sincerity,

"I don’t know where you got your information, but I can responsibly tell you that the love of a father and mother that children should have before the apocalypse, the brother and sister have after the apocalypse."

Everyone thought Hua Mi was very busy, but that was just their wishful thinking.

In reality, Hua Mi did everything a mother should do, no matter where she went, she would always bring the brother and sister with her.

Even when she and Gong Yi went out to fight monsters, she would take the brother and sister along.

Compared to other children in the apocalypse, Hua Mi and Gong Yi, as a couple, had poured a lot of effort into their children.

Definitely much more than the outside world thought in terms of the time and energy spent on the children’s education.

"You can go now; you’ve worked hard these past days. Take a few days off; wait for my notice to come back to work."

Qin Zhen sent Zhang Chuchu away and immediately called Hua Mi’s phone, reporting Zhang Chuchu’s words verbatim to her.

"This Zhang Chuchu is really strange, could she have her eyes on your Old Gong, planning to become the stepmother of your two children?"

Qin Zhen teased Hua Mi over the phone,

"Seeing how you don’t care about your appearance, even for a big event like a school visit, you just wear a cultural T-shirt and wide-leg pants. Those young and pretty vixens would surely outshine you, right?"

"You should take my advice, take good care of yourself. Start taking physical fitness classes, makeup classes, and all that."
