My wife had something urgent to do, so she asked me to attend our daughter's parent-teacher meeting on her behalf.
When I arrived at the school, almost all the parents were there.
They were all wearing brand-name clothes from head to toe and only I looked out of place in my casual suit.
Seeing me in plain clothes, the teacher immediately showed a look of disdain on her face.
"I really don't understand. Lucy's mother is an intellectual after all, why did she find a loser like you."
I was about to step forward to refute, but was ridiculed by my daughter in public.
"I don't want you to hold a parent-teacher meeting for me, I want Uncle Morris!"
After a few seconds of being stunned, I sneered and called my wife.
"I heard from my daughter that you found her a stepfather, right?"
——
At this moment, all the parents looked at me.
The call was hung up several times before it was connected. Then Suzy's impatient voice came from the phone.
"Mario, what are you going crazy about again? I'm in a meeting. Can't you wait for meuntil we get home to talk about anything?"
I looked at my daughter who hated me so much and shook my head. "No!"
The next second, Suzy immediately cursed at me. Yes! I just fell in love with someone else. Are you satisfied?"
I took a deep breath and spoke slowly, “Give me a reason!"
I asked myself that I have never done anything to let them down since I got married.
But Suzy's words just now hurt me deeply. Faced with my doubts, she sneered and didn't care at all.
"Why do you still have the face? Is there anything wrong with what Lucy said? My daughter needs 30,000 dollars a year for tuition alone for school. Have you paid a penny? Mario, let me tell you clearly, if I hadn't worked hard outside, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to sit there."
At the end, even if I turned the volume down to the minimum, Suzy's voice still resounded throughout the classroom.
"Mario, with your current status, you are not qualified to be Lucy's father!"
The scene was suddenly silent.
My daughter also glared at me fiercely at this moment, her eyes were like an enemy.
I suppressed my anger and asked her patiently. "Lucy, can you tell Dad what happened?"
The next second, my daughter blurted out. "Mom said you are too poor and can't support both of us at all."
I admitted that I didn’t really care about money, but I could still afford the 30,000 dollars tuition.
The most important thing was, wasn’t it because of my phone call that a woman could go to school here? Did it mean that they could just pay money to the America Affiliated Primary School?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but question.
"Suzy, you heard what my daughter said, I need you to give me an explanation. Who gave the 30,000 dollars, why didn't you tell me?"
"Explanation? What do I need to explain to you?"
Suzy's tone was very contemptuous. "Is it useful for me to tell you? Can you come up with it or what? If it weren't for Mr. Morris's qualifications, your daughter wouldn't even have a school to go to!"
I frowned. "Who is Mr. Morris?"
Suzy paused after hearing what I said.
"You don't deserve to know his name. You only need to know one thing, it was Mr. Morris who paid for our daughter's qualifications."
I couldn't help but narrow my eyes and my fingers were creaking.
"Suzy, I warn you, I don't care where you found that Uncle Morris, just cut off contact with him."
