Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 192 offers another option.
"Aunt Ye!" Shen Qingqing cried out in disbelief.

The legal and finance departments rushed over to try and stop the man, but they were too late.

They were still standing too far away from Mrs. Ye, not close enough to the man.

"Ah—" Mrs. Ye screamed the next second after hearing Shen Qingqing's shout.

The man grabbed Mrs. Ye's carefully styled long hair with a fierce look, "What right do you have to say such things, you who are supported by me!"

"Without me, you would have starved to death long ago!"

"I married you to take care of my son. This is what you're supposed to do all along. How dare you bring it up!"

"You dare lay a hand on me! I see you really don't know who's in charge in this family!"

Even though the legal and finance staff quickly subdued the man, Mrs. Ye was still slapped twice hard, and one of her cheeks swelled up.

Having come to this point, Chen Kangqi finally rushed out of his house, his hair disheveled, his pajamas askew, and shoes off. As soon as he reached the door and saw his mother's appearance, and then his father being held up by two strange men, he immediately understood what had happened.

Chen Kangqi was so angry that his breathing became rapid. Just as he was about to rush over, Mrs. Ye held him back tightly: "Kangqi! He's your father!"

"But you are my mother!" Chen Kangqi roared, abruptly shaking off Mrs. Ye's hand and striding towards the man.

"Chen Kangqi! What are you doing! I am your—"

Before the man could finish speaking, Chen Kangqi punched him in the head, knocking his head to the side.

"I told you, if you dare to lay a hand on my mother again, I'll beat you every time I see it!" After throwing that punch, Chen Kangqi's clenched fist hung at his side, still trembling.

Shen Qingqing had never seen a real-life case of domestic violence; in both her lives combined, she had only seen it in online news.

However, Shen Qingqing couldn't empathize with her. She sympathized with Mrs. Ye's plight, but now Chen Jiaxin was about to stay in this family as a tutor for a long time, so what she needed to do more was ensure Chen Jiaxin's safety and health.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Mrs. Ye, should I call the police for you?"

Upon hearing the words "call the police," the man, who had quieted down after being punched by Chen Kangqi, instantly seemed to be reactivated. "Call the police your ass! What the hell is it to you? Mind your own business! Let me go!"

Chen Kangqi subconsciously looked at Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye covered her swollen cheek, took a deep breath, and shook her head: "No need, thank you, Xiao Shen. Kang Qi is at home. Old Chen is just not clear-headed today, he's fine."

Since the other party had already said that, Shen Qingqing didn't try to persuade her any further, but she still had to say what needed to be said.

"Okay, Aunt Ye, I'm sorry, we didn't understand your family's specific situation before. Now, for the safety of our tutor, we have decided to terminate the hiring of your tutor."

Mrs. Ye suddenly raised her head. "No! Why? We...we're hiring a tutor! Old Chen's advice is useless!"

Shen Qingqing said politely as always, "No, Aunt Ye, as you know, Teacher Chen is a young woman. Our studio cannot allow her to work in such a dangerous environment. She is an employee of our studio, and we must put her personal safety first."

Chen Jiaxin was already terrified when the man attacked Mrs. Ye. She was still trembling as she tightly gripped Shen Qingqing's hand, and she didn't dare to look in that direction. Shen Qingqing kept saying "danger" and "personal safety," leaving Mrs. Ye, with her swollen face, unable to refute her.

She meant that Old Chen would only hit her, and that Old Chen usually wouldn't lay a hand on her when Chen Kangqi was around.

But she also knew that the fear wouldn't be so easily dispelled for the little girl who had witnessed the beating.

She looked back at Chen Kangqi standing beside her with a guilty and apologetic expression, feeling ashamed that she had not been able to keep the tutor who could help Chen Kangqi get into the Experimental Middle School.

Chen Kangqi understood Mrs. Ye's look, but he couldn't come up with any solutions. If he wasn't home, his father would hold a grudge about what happened today and might beat his mother again when he wasn't there.

“In that case, we also have another solution. We can have a separate venue for one-on-one tutoring, but the venue fee will be calculated separately,” Shen Qingqing offered another solution.

This time, Chen Kangqi spoke first, asking, "Can my mom come with me?"

Shen Qingqing smiled and nodded: "Okay."

“Okay, let’s go.” Chen Kangqi readily agreed.

Shen Qingqing remained noncommittal and looked at Mrs. Ye, after all, whoever gives the money should have the final say.

Mrs. Ye hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, in that case, please pack your things. We'll move to another location where no one will bother us, and then we'll sign the employment contract there." Shen Qingqing's attitude was quite good.

Chen Kangqi immediately took his mother home, while Mrs. Ye glanced hesitantly at the man being held up by the finance and legal departments.

But the man threatened her: "If you dare go, when you come back, I'll beat you to death!"

Chen Kangqi hugged Mrs. Ye tightly, saying, "If you dare to beat my mother to death, you'll see if I dare to beat you to death!"

The father and son exchanged harsh words. After Mrs. Ye and Chen Kangqi packed their things and got into the car, Old Chen was suddenly pushed into his house by the legal and financial staff, who slammed the door shut from the outside and ran towards the car.

They drove away before Old Chen could rush out.

In the car, Shen Qingqing noticed that Mrs. Ye was restless, so she took the initiative to explain the course fees and venue rental fees to her.

It was explained that after the first three days of trial classes, the trial class fee would be settled. Only after the parents were satisfied with the test results would half of the fee for the entire course be paid, and the remaining half would be paid after the course ended.

Mrs. Ye accepted this advance payment method and even suggested that the payment could be made immediately without waiting for the three-day trial class. She only asked that Shen Qingqing and the others make sure that Chen Kangqi could get into the Experimental Middle School.

Shen Qingqing reassured Mrs. Ye, saying that as long as the tutor and Chen Kangqi made efforts together, there would definitely be results, and she rejected Mrs. Ye's suggestion to pay all the course fees in advance.

Once the rules are set, they must be followed; they cannot be changed on the spot.

See you tomorrow night~
