Chapter 369: Chapter 369 Picking Up and Dropping Off at School

"Uncle, I might be coming home late tonight because we’ve got exams coming up and a classmate’s uncle plans to go over some extra problems with us," Zhou Siyu, sensing the tension in the air, seized the chance to bring up the topic of returning late from school.

"What time will you be back?" Shen Jianhua asked, feeling uneasy. "It’s not safe for a young girl to come home too late. Let me pick you up!"

Even though his wife had said the troublemakers had been caught, it was still better to be cautious now that the child was grown up. He didn’t want her to catch the attention of some bad elements again.

Zhou Siyu panicked at the thought and hastened to decline, "There’s no need to pick me up, I’ll be home before it gets dark."

If Shen Jianhua came to pick her up, he would find out who was tutoring her, wouldn’t he?

This was unacceptable.

The incident with Song Zhengguo had caused quite a stir. The reputations of the girls associated with him were all destroyed.

If her reputation were ruined, what would be the point of getting into university?

Shen Jianhua was still worried, "How about letting Mianmian go with you? Then you can come back together."

It would be somewhat safer with two children together.

Although Mianmian wasn’t very talkative, her thoughts were mature and her actions reliable – she was like a little adult. He would feel more at ease with her accompanying Zhou Siyu.

"This..." Zhou Siyu feigned difficulty, "Uncle, it’s not that I don’t want to bring my sister along, it’s just that my classmate’s uncle doesn’t like too many people coming to his house. He’s only willing to tutor me because he’s doing a favor for my classmate and just bringing me along by convenience."

Hearing this, Zhou Lanfang immediately said, "Then don’t bring her. Just try not to come back too late in the evening." She wouldn’t let that little bastard mooch off a free lesson.

"Alright then!" Shen Jianhua, still not entirely at ease, could only agree since it was already very kind of someone to help with the tutoring. They couldn’t be too demanding. If it really came down to it, he would just wait for her halfway on his way to work in the evening.

Thinking of this, Shen Jianhua glanced at Shen Mianmian, "Mianmian, starting tomorrow, don’t ride in your classmate’s car anymore. I’ll take you and Siyu to school and pick you up until your exams are over, then I’ll head to work."

Shen Mianmian, who had been silent, furrowed her brow slightly at this, "Dad, we only have one bicycle at home, and it can’t carry two people."

When she was smaller, she had managed to squeeze onto the crossbar at the front of the bike, but now that she was 1.6 meters tall, it felt inappropriate to ride there, even if the person carrying her was her dad.

"You always have to make trouble," Zhou Lanfang glared, "Are you so addicted to riding that little bastard’s bike that you don’t even want your dad to carry you anymore?"

The more Shen Mianmian grew up, the prettier she became, and the more Zhou Lanfang disliked her, feeling she was beginning to resemble a seductress.

She was sure that it must have been her looks that seduced Shen Jianhua.

"Mom, what do you mean by that?" Shen Mianmian’s expression turned cold. "When I first started riding in my classmate’s car, it was because I had no choice, and both you and dad agreed to it."

Even though her heart had long turned to steel and she had abandoned any hope of affection from Zhou Lanfang, that did not mean she was willing to be insulted like this.

"So what if we agreed back then? Wasn’t it only because it was a special situation and we had no choice?" Zhou Lanfang thought angrily. The girl was becoming more and more brazen, now daring to answer back with a defiant face.

If her husband weren’t there, she would have slapped her already.

Thinking this made Zhou Lanfang furious.

Every time her husband was not at home, the little wretch would act all docile. But as soon as the father returned, she’d become like a tiger, untouchable and unprovokable by
