Chapter 2

I originally thought this move of mine would earn Yang Mi's understanding; after all, we were just little kids in kindergarten, and an apology should have settled such a thing.

But I didn't expect that after Chen Mo bowed and looked up, he would find tears falling from Yang Mi's big eyes again, her little mouth pouting, looking as if she were about to cry out loud.

Chen Mo's mouth twitched, and he stepped forward, wanting to say a few more words, but just then, footsteps came from outside, followed by three figures walking in.

Leading them was a female teacher, and behind her were a man and a woman.

The man was Chen Mo's father, Chen Guohua, and the woman was Yang Mi's mother, Yang Chunling.

Seeing her mother walk in, Yang Mi could no longer hold it back and burst into tears with a wail.

"Waaah... Mom."

"Chen Mo lifted my skirt... woo... waaah... I'm going to grow hair! Waaah..."

Listening to this pitiful, sobbing sound.

Chen Mo's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Grow hair?

What the hell!

"Baby, it's okay... it's okay, don't cry. Don't cry..."

Seeing her precious daughter crying, Yang Mu hurriedly walked over to Yang Mi, crouched down, and reached out to pull Yang Mi into her arms.

And Chen Mo's father, Chen Guohua, walked two steps over to Chen Mo, raised his hand, and was about to land a big slap.

"You little brat..."

At the same time, he cursed.

Watching that big slap coming, Chen Mo didn't even think; he retreated directly and dodged his father's big hand...

"Hey! You still dare to dodge!"

Chen Fu glared instantly, lifting his foot to step forward and have another go, but Chen Mo used lightning speed to run out from the side, and in the blink of an eye, he had darted out of the office...

"You little rascal! Stop right there! See if I don't beat you to death!"

From behind came Chen Fu's angry scolding.

Chen Mo acted as if he hadn't heard it at all and ran headlong toward the kindergarten gate.

The kindergarten was built inside their residential compound, and there were no cars in the compound, so seeing Chen Mo disappear at the gate, Chen Fu wasn't in a hurry to chase him; instead, he turned around, forced a smile on his face, and began to apologize to Yang Mu.

On the other side, after Chen Mo ran out of the kindergarten, he went straight back to his front door.

He raised his hand and pounded hard on the door.

The door opened, and Chen Mo's mother, Chen Shufen, pushed it open from inside...

Seeing that only Chen Mo had returned, Chen Shufen's brows immediately furrowed as she said, "Mo Mo, where is your father?"

"The teacher is talking to my dad about something, so he let me come back first."

Chen Mo said as he walked toward the house with his short little legs.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Chen Mu seemed to think of something; she grabbed Chen Mo by the collar and hoisted him up.

"Did you cause trouble at kindergarten again?"

Chen Mu asked, glaring at Chen Mo with her almond-shaped eyes.

"Mom, your son is so well-behaved, how could I possibly cause trouble?"

Chen Mo said, pretending to be honest and well-behaved.

Looking at Chen Mo's expression, there was a hint of hesitation on Chen Mu's face...

As a mother, she naturally knew what kind of character her son had, even though she had to be called in by the teacher at least three times a week.

"Pfft, you're honest?"

Chen Mu said with an expression of disbelief, then released Chen Mo's collar and turned to walk toward the kitchen.

Soon, the sounds of cooking came from the kitchen...

Chen Mo stood where he was, looking up and down at the layout of the house.

In his past life, when he was six, Chen Mo had gone to Los Angeles with his father and mother, and his memories of his hometown in China were not very many.

So everything around him seemed so unfamiliar in his eyes.

Scuff, scuff...

At this moment, footsteps came from the hallway outside.

Then, Chen Fu's figure walked in from outside.

Seeing his father return, Chen Mo started to run away, but before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by the back of his collar by Chen Fu.

Then, in a whirlwind, by the time Chen Mo reacted, his stomach was already pressed against his father's knee, and then his bottom felt a chill as his pants were pulled down.

Slap...

A crisp sound, and pain radiated from his bottom...

Chen Fu's big hand had already landed on Chen Mo's bottom.

"Ouch..."

Chen Mo cried out in pain instinctively.

"You little rascal! You actually lifted a little girl's skirt!"

Slap!

"You still dare to run!"

Slap!

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll take your surname!"

Slap!

The crisp sound of slaps echoed in the living room. Chen Mu in the kitchen was already used to this; regarding her son's naughty personality, as the old saying goes, if you don't beat him for three days, he'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles.

However, after hearing what her husband said, Chen Mu couldn't help but retort: "You two already have the same surname..."

Chen Fu: "..."

Slap!

Five minutes later...

Chen Mo tearfully pulled up his pants, looking at his father with resentful eyes.

And at this moment, Chen Fu had already returned to the sofa and sat down, holding the TV remote, looking for a program to watch.

"Audience friends... audience friends... you are currently watching the World Cup group stage..."

The broadcast voice from CCTV Channel 5 came from the TV.

Hearing this sound, Chen Mo's eyes lit up instantly!

In his past life, although he couldn't say he was obsessed with football, he watched the World Cup every four years.

And this year was June 1990, the very time of the World Cup matches.

Out of curiosity in his past life, he had checked the data and knew the results of the group matches for this World Cup.

So, could he rely on his memory to make a killing?!

However, Chen Mo remembered that sports betting didn't appear until the millennium; the official Chinese sports lottery didn't appear until 1994!

But in reality, in 1985, a "Six-Harmonies Sports Lottery" had already appeared in Guangdong Province, which meant that if he wanted to make a fortune from this, he had to go to Guangdong Province!

Only by going to Guangdong Province could he buy the "Six-Harmonies Sports Lottery"!

How could he convince his father and mother?

After all, he was only four years old now!

Tell the truth?

If he did that, he figured his bottom would suffer again.

But he had to try, at least...

After organizing his words in his mind, Chen Mo walked to the side of the sofa with his short little legs, then climbed onto the sofa and sat beside his father.

"Old Chen..."

Slap!

"You little brat, how are you talking to me with no respect!"

After receiving a slap on the back of his head, Chen Mo's mouth twitched.
