Chapter 137 Chu Miao jumped off the building!
Jiang's mother kept telling Jiang Chengze to die, her tone extremely vicious and cruel, as if the person standing in front of her was not her son, but an enemy.
Jiang Chengze's lips trembled, afraid to see the disappointment and hatred in his mother's eyes: "Mom... I've tried, I've always tried so hard. I want to bring you honor and make you happy. Believe me, I will definitely make sure you live a good life. I was just... I was too tired, and I accidentally fainted. I won't do it again, I won't..."
"You think you can bring me glory and let me enjoy life?" Jiang's mother sneered. "You've already ranked second in the city! Useless thing, do you think you've done right by all the hard work I've put into you all these years? I quit my job, got up before dawn every day to cook for you, supervise your studies, and you still couldn't even get first place in the city! Haven't I told you that I would make sure you got first place in the city! If you want to bring me glory, you have to get first place!"
Jiang Chengze trembled even more violently, and as he listened to his mother's endless accusations and insults, he was on the verge of collapse.
He knew his mother had a hard life.
His father died early, and he was raised by his mother.
Because their family was poor, all their relatives looked down on them.
His mother vowed to make him get into a good university so he could hold his head high in front of his relatives.
So, when he was very young, while other children were still playing, he was forced to go to school.
His mother wouldn't let him rest when others were resting.
Let him sleep for five hours each day.
At that time, he was still growing and didn't get enough sleep, so he couldn't help but fall asleep in class. His teacher called his mother and, when he learned that she only let him sleep for five hours a day, he advised her not to be so extreme, because rest is more important for a child his age.
What did his mother say in response?
She said, "What's the point of resting? At his age, he has to study hard! Sleeping is a waste of time! He should use that time to do more practice problems!"
She slapped him again: "You useless thing! Your mother works so hard to earn money so you can study, only for you to sleep! How could you do this to me?!"
From then on, he never dared to sleep in class again. Even if he wanted to sleep, he would prick himself hard with a needle to keep himself awake.
Due to chronic sleep deprivation, he is shorter than his peers.
His mother wouldn't allow him to go out and play either. Every time he had class, she would stand outside the classroom and watch. If she saw a classmate talking to him, she would yell at that person.
Those who say he's aiming for first place in the city and the top scorer in Beijing, tell them not to disturb his studies!
Anyone who disturbs his studies will be killed by her!
Over time, Jiang Chengze ended up having no friends left.
His personality also became increasingly withdrawn.
Jiang Chengze envied other children who could do what they liked. He loved to draw, but his mother said it was a waste of time and tore up all his drawings, then hysterically scolded him.
In Jiang Chengze's memory, his mother never gave him a kind look. The only time she smiled was when he got first place in a test and his mother showed off his grades to relatives.
From that moment on, Jiang Chengze knew that his mother would only be happy if he got good grades, so he worked hard and studied desperately. Finally, he became the top student in the city.
His mother finally started to treat him better.
But then, Chu Miao appeared.
He will never be able to get first place in the city again.
He knew he would face his mother's endless scolding and disappointed gaze again, which is why he challenged Chu Miao to a competition. When he realized he could never catch up with Chu Miao's grades, he broke down to the point of vomiting blood and suffocating.
Ignoring the presence of so many people, Jiang's mother launched into a tirade against Jiang Chengze, causing everyone present to frown.
I wondered, is this really my mother?
Jiang Chengze just vomited blood and fainted, and she didn't even show a word of concern. Instead, she scolded Jiang Chengyang like that, claiming he was number one in the city. Does she want her son or a tool to earn her glory?
They initially disliked Jiang Chengze, but seeing how Jiang's mother treated him, they suddenly couldn't bring themselves to hate him anymore.
Jiang Chengze was also a pitiful person.
Chu Miao's brows furrowed into a dark knot. She wondered why Jiang Chengze valued the title of first in the city so much and why he was so extreme. It turned out that it was all because of Jiang's mother.
“Chengze’s mother, aren’t you going a bit too far?” Director Luo couldn’t help but speak up for Jiang Chengze: “I understand your desire for your son to succeed, but you can’t put Jiang under such pressure. He is already very outstanding. You should be proud to have such an excellent son, not scold him here. He just fainted and his condition is still not good. You should take him to the hospital for a check-up first.”
"Another check-up?" Jiang's mother laughed as if she had heard a big joke. "What's there to check about him? He's standing right here, isn't he? I think he just doesn't want to study and is pretending to faint! Don't I know him? He'll only behave after a beating!"
"Besides, he didn't even get first place in the city, and he still has the nerve to faint! I've worked so hard and I haven't even fainted! It's utterly shameful!"
Every word Jiang's mother uttered felt like a knife stabbing into Jiang Chengze's heart. He felt both embarrassed and in pain, and his brain throbbed even more. He could barely stand up, and his body swayed precariously. Just a second before he was about to faint, Chu Miao caught him.
No one saw how Chu Miao moved; she stood in front of Jiang Chengze, quickly took out a pill, and fed it to him.
Chu Miao looked at Jiang's mother and said coldly, "Your son's condition is very bad right now. You should care about him and take him to the hospital immediately. Don't blame me for not reminding you, you're driving your son crazy. Do you really want to see him die?"
"Let him die if he wants to!" Jiang's mother sneered. "He's just faking it. He pretended to faint so he wouldn't have to study. If he wants to die, he should just die already. It's simple, he can just jump off from here. The fifth floor is enough for him to die! Does he dare to jump?"
Just as Jiang's mother finished speaking.
Jiang Chengze turned around, took a step and ran to the stairwell, grabbed the railing, straddled it, and jumped down without hesitation.
"what!"
A sharp explosion rang out from the crowd!
Jiang's mother stared blankly at Jiang Chengze as he jumped down, her mind blank and buzzing, completely dazed.
Director Luo and the other leaders also changed their expressions drastically, their faces showing horror.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Chengze, Chu Miao suddenly darted forward, grabbed the railing with one hand, and nimbly flipped down—
"Classmate Chu!"
Seeing Chu Miao jump off the building again, the crowd erupted in another sharp explosion!
Director Luo and the group of leaders felt their vision go black and almost fainted!
