Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 1480

Chapter 1480: One Trouble Follows Another

The anger that had just subsided surged up again. She even pinched Bai Qingqing’s ear. “Look at how promising you are. If you wish to draw, I consent. But if you’re just wanting to waste your life away drawing because your results are poor, see if I don’t beat you to death!”

“Mom! I’m genuinely fond of drawing.” Bai Qingqing tilted her head to avoid her mother’s demonic palm and ran towards her bedroom while saying, “I’ll show you my drawings!”

Mommy Bai panted angrily as she leaned against the table and waited. Bai Qingqing retrieved a very old sketchbook and handed it to her.

Mommy Bai opened the sketchbook, and her anger gradually dissipated. By the time she flipped to the last page, the anger had vanished from her face entirely.

She glanced at her daughter’s tender yet determined face, and after a moment’s consideration, said, “You can continue to draw, but your academic results can’t fall behind. If you lower your target now, I’m afraid your college entrance examination results will be even worse.”

Actually, she wasn’t very satisfied with drawing as a profession. She still had a son. Many Chinese more or less favored boys over girls, and Mommy Bai was no exception. Although she didn’t dote on her daughter any less compared to her son, she was much less strict when it came to the choice of careers.

Bai Qingqing held her mother’s hand and said gratefully, “Thank you. You’re the best Mommy on earth.”

Mommy Bai felt gratified at hearing the compliment. After throwing a smug look at Daddy Bai, who was washing the dishes in the kitchen and who had come over to look upon hearing her daughter’s words, she said, “Why else would they say that ‘Mothers are the best in the world’?”

Daddy Bai tossed the rag in his hand aside and said to Bai Qingqing with a long face, “I don’t consent to you learning to draw. You should focus on your studies!”

Bai Qingqing quickly said, “Daddies are also the best. Daddies and mommies are the best.”

Daddy Bai’s expression instantly turned from dark to sunny and he stopped speaking.

Mommy Bai poked her daughter’s head and scolded with a smile. “Fence sitter.”

“Hehe…” Bai Qingqing wrapped both hands around her mother’s hand and smiled. Just like that, the crisis had been overcome.

However… one trouble follows another.

Seeing Mommy Bai washing the clothes at night and carrying the wet clothes to the balcony to dry, alarm bells went off in Bai Qingqing’s head. She anxiously ran over, but still, it was too late for her to destroy all evidence.

On the balcony, Mommy Bai held up a red bra and stared at it for a good while, before setting down the basin and turning around.

Bai Qingqing hurriedly hid in the corner and stealthily returned to her bedroom.

Indeed, soon, a knock sounded on her door.

Bai Qingqing opened her door, and what greeted her was a sexy bra that Curtis had chosen for her. The scary thing was that it was being held in her mother’s hand, and the even scarier thing was her mother’s countenance.

Oh god, please just kill me!

Didn’t she usually hang the clothes out to dry in the morning? Why did she do it at night today?

You can’t do this to your daughter, Mom!

Since it was a female topic, Mommy Bai gave her daughter face and only spoke after entering her room.

“Where did this bra come from?”

“I… bought it,” Bai Qingqing said in a servile manner, feeling emotionally exhausted.

Clearly, she already had the body and mentality of an adult, yet she still had to be disciplined by her parents like a child.

“This bra doesn’t look cheap. You went out to get a part-time job just so that you can buy bras?” Mommy Bai’s finger trembled as she pointed at her. “Bai Qingqing, you’re becoming increasingly promising, huh!”

“Yes, yes, yes, Mom. It’s my fault.” Bai Qingqing looked sincere as she explained, “I can’t fit into the old ones anymore, that’s why I bought it. Please have mercy on me and let me off!”

“Pfft!” Mommy Bai didn’t manage to maintain her expression and nearly smiled. Unable to keep an angry expression anymore, she could only say, “Students should look like students. Don’t keep wearing such showy ones. Next time don’t buy such bras.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I won’t dare to do it again,” Bai Qingqing said as she repeatedly nodded.

Mommy Bai left with the bra.
