Live Stream: Overly Pampered Education Creates Three Superstars in One Family

The afternoon sun of autumn carried a touch of languor, casting dappled golden rays across the gate of the Chen family's courtyard. A gentle breeze brought a hint of autumn coolness, but it couldn't dispel the warmth that lingered at the gate.

Liu Yue stood in front of the car door, pulling her silver suitcase. Unbeknownst to her, her seven-day experience as a special guest on the show had officially come to an end. According to the production team's arrangements, she was leaving today to return to her original life.

"Teacher Chen," Liu Yue turned around, looking sincerely at Chen Chu standing on the steps, her eyes slightly red, but a relieved smile on her lips, "Thank you so much for these seven days. And thank you to your family for your understanding and support."

She took a deep breath, as if a huge burden had been lifted, and her tone revealed a sense of relief, as if she had been given a new lease on life: "Before coming here, I felt like I had walked into a dead end, struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-doubt every day. But in these seven days, seeing how your family is doing and hearing what you said, Teacher Chen, I feel so much better. Many hurdles that I thought I couldn't overcome before seem to have suddenly become insurmountable."

Liu Yue's eyes hardened. Escaping would never solve anything. These seven days in her "Shangri-La" had given her time to recharge. Now, she needed to go back and face reality, to resolve the family and career difficulties that had been plaguing her.

Chen Chu looked at the woman in front of him, whose condition was clearly much better than seven days ago, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. He didn't say any long-winded pleasantries; he simply extended his fist and gently raised it in mid-air.

"Keep going." Chen Chu's voice was steady and strong, carrying a reassuring power. "I believe in you, you can do it."

Liu Yue nodded vigorously, raised her fist, and touched it with Chen Chu in mid-air.

"Don't worry, Teacher Chen, I won't be as weak as before," Liu Yue said with a smile. Then she glanced at the house filled with laughter and joy, her eyes filled with reluctance. "If I have the chance in the future, I will come back to see you all and come back to play."

"Sure, no problem." Chen Chu readily agreed. "I'm promising you, you're welcome to come back anytime. Just think of this place as your family home."

Chen Ziran, who was standing nearby, also came over, waving his hand with a grin: "Sister Liu Yue, don't forget! Next time you come back to visit, remember to bring me the latest limited edition figurine! Have a safe trip!"

Liu Yue was amused by Chen Ziran's lively and silly appearance, and nodded in agreement repeatedly.

Then, her gaze fell on Chen Xiayu, who was hiding beside Chen Chu's legs, holding half a small steamed bun in her hand. Looking at this exquisitely beautiful little girl, who resembled a porcelain doll, Liu Yue's heart melted.

"Xia Yu," Liu Yue crouched down, opened her arms, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and coaxed in an extremely gentle voice, "Sister is leaving soon, can you give sister a kiss as a farewell gift?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Xiayu.

Chen Xiayu blinked her big, watery eyes and stared at Liu Yue for two seconds.

then.

"snort."

The little girl turned her head away with an aloof air, leaving Liu Yue with only her round back of her head, and even shrank behind Chen Chu, completely ignoring her.

Liu Yue, arms outstretched, froze instantly with a smile: "..."

The air seemed to freeze for a second, an indescribable awkwardness spreading through the room. Chen Ziran was trying so hard to suppress his laughter that his shoulders were twitching, and even Chen Chu couldn't help but cough to cover his amusement.

However, the awkwardness only lasted for a brief moment. Liu Yue was already used to this little girl's "aloof" persona. She smiled indifferently, stood up, and waved her hand casually.

Goodbye, everyone!

The black van slowly started, carrying Liu Yue, who had been given a new lease on life, and disappeared at the end of the road.

……

After seeing Liu Yue off, Chen Chu turned around and went back into the house. He had just sat down on the sofa to have some tea and rest for a while.

The cameraman who had been filming suddenly approached, looking both excited and hesitant. He handed Chen Chu his tablet and whispered, "Mr. Chen, don't rush to rest. The live stream is going crazy; something big has happened."

Chen Chu frowned slightly and took the tablet: "What's wrong? Are you arguing again?"

"It's about Wu Jiajia's family." The photographer quickly and concisely recounted the absurd scene that had just occurred in the office of the No. 1 Primary School in the city, as well as how Zhou Liying fawned over the bully's parents and then turned around and angrily scolded her own daughter for her low emotional intelligence.

Finally, the photographer cautiously inquired, "There's a lot of criticism of Zhou Liying online right now, and the observers in the studio are also commenting. The director wants to cut your microphone to ask what your thoughts are on this?"

After hearing the whole story, Chen Chu's previously mild expression instantly turned extremely gloomy. His usually calm eyes were now burning with raging anger.

"view?"

Without any regard for the cameras or preparing any emotion, Chen Chu blurted out a curse into the microphone: "What is this if not brain-dead?!"

This earth-shattering shout not only startled the cameraman beside him, but was also transmitted clearly through the live broadcast line to every corner of the studio and to the ears of millions of netizens.

Chen Chu's chest heaved violently, her anger turning into a bitter laugh: "Her own flesh and blood was bullied at school, verbally abused! And when she arrived, instead of standing up for her child, she blamed her for being unreasonable? To appear magnanimous in front of those hypocritical rich people, she abandoned even the last shred of dignity for her daughter! This kind of person doesn't deserve to be a mother; she's utterly foolish!"

Inside the studio.

Zhao Shuilan and Sun Xuerong, who were having a lively conversation, were abruptly interrupted by Chen Chu's sudden and abrupt outburst.

Zhao Shuilan's expression changed. She always prided herself on being an elegant and intellectual relationship expert, and upon hearing such vulgar language, she immediately frowned and criticized the camera, "Teacher Chen, this is going too far! Everyone is rationally discussing educational issues, why do you have to use such crude language? This is a public live broadcast!"

Sun Xuerong immediately seized on Chen Chu's words, adopting the posture of an elder, and earnestly said, "That's right, Teacher Chen. When problems arise, we should think about how to resolve conflicts. The children are still young, and when they make mistakes, we as elders should give them a chance to learn tolerance and forgiveness. What's the use of you just scolding Zhou Liying, or punishing those two children as you just mentioned? Will that solve the problem?"

"Give me what chance?!"

Chen Chu was utterly enraged by these two self-proclaimed experts who spouted platitudes about morality and ethics. He exploded in the live stream, his voice booming like thunder: "They've practically shit on your neck! They're mentally bullying your child, and you're telling me to give them a chance?! Shouldn't you retaliate without hesitation when someone bullies you? Shouldn't you give them an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?!"

Chen Chu stared intently at the camera, as if trying to see through the screen to the two experts: "It's precisely because of so-called experts like you who constantly talk about 'forgiveness' and 'tolerance,' endlessly trying to smooth things over, that we are truly corrupting children! You are sending an extremely terrifying signal to the whole society—making those who do bad things think that bullying honest people goes unpunished!"

"Your leniency, your 'giving a chance,' not only failed to save the perpetrator, but instead drove a good child who could have grown up healthily and believed in fairness and justice to a dead end, turning him into a bad child filled with hatred for society!"

Chen Chu's words were too sharp, even carrying a suffocating aura, completely overturning the traditional educational values ​​of "taking a step back to broaden one's horizons" and the virtues of gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility.

In the live stream, some viewers were taken aback by Chen Chu's extremely fierce counter-argument and couldn't help but ask questions in the chat:

[Teacher Chen, is it really that serious? After all, it's just a few teasing remarks between children.]

Upon seeing this comment, Chen Chu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and began to refute it using extremely rigorous psychological logic.

"Is it that serious? I can tell you with certainty, it is that serious!"

Chen Chu spoke rapidly and logically: "Don't think that children don't understand anything just because they are young. Children are the smartest 'explorers' in the world. All their behavioral patterns are learned by imitation! In psychology, this is called operant conditioning."

"When a child does something wrong and doesn't receive any real punishment, their brain's feedback mechanism tells them—this is something that can be done, and there's no risk! To put it simply, if a child discovers that adults will give in and not punish them as long as they cry and throw a tantrum, then every time they make a mistake, their first reaction will definitely not be to admit their mistake, but to immediately start crying and throwing a tantrum to avoid punishment!"

Chen Chu pointed at Wu Jiajia, who was suffering terribly on the screen, his voice growing colder: "Bullying is the same now! Those two girls bullied their classmate, and not only did they not receive any disciplinary action from the school, but they also did not pay any compensation. Even the victim's mother smiled and forgave them. Do you know what kind of seeds this will plant in the hearts of those two bullies?"

"They think that bullying others is no big deal! As long as my mom steps in and smooths things over, as long as I bow my head and say sorry, I can still get away unscathed! This kind of costless wrongdoing only encourages them to escalate their behavior next time!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuilan was still somewhat unconvinced. She insisted on her greenhouse theory: "Teacher Chen, you're exaggerating. It's not that serious! Just now in the office, those two girls were already crying and bowing to admit their mistakes, weren't they? We should believe in the children's pure goodness."

"Admit your mistake?" Chen Chu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, a mocking sneer curling his lips. "Ms. Zhao, do you watch too many romance dramas? Is your head full of fairy tales?"

Chen Chu ruthlessly tore away this veil of hypocrisy: "An apology without severe punishment as an endorsement—is that an apology? That's just a performance to absolve oneself! Can't you fake this kind of cheap apology? They cried because they felt wronged by being forced to do it by their parents, because they were afraid of losing their allowance when they got home, not because they felt guilty towards the victims!"

Zhao Shuilan was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Chen Chu, her chest heaving violently. After a long while, she managed to stammer out a dry rebuttal: "You...you're an educational psychologist, how can you have such a dark mind? You shouldn't think so badly of children!"

"Do I think badly of them?"

Chen Chu's gaze instantly sharpened, like a drawn steel blade piercing straight into the depths of Zhao Shuilan's soul.

"Ms. Zhao, please understand the cause and effect! A mentally sound thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl from a well-off family actively formed a gang to viciously humiliate and trample on the dignity of a classmate who was wearing old clothes! She bullied others first, revealing the evil in human nature!"

Chen Chu's voice echoed throughout the hall, deafeningly clear: "It's not that I think badly of her; it's that her actual bullying behavior proved the ugliness in her heart! You expect me to use love to reform or forgive such an abuser? I'm sorry, I, Chen Chu, don't have that kind of hypocritical compassion. My sympathy is reserved only for that trembling, helpless victim hiding in the corner!"

The two sides clashed in the live stream, their words sharp and their tension almost overflowing the screen.

The experts in the studio upheld the politically correct principle of "tolerance and magnanimity," while Chen Chu stubbornly clung to the bottom line of "an eye for an eye, punishing evil and promoting good." The comments section was divided into two camps, arguing fiercely, with neither side able to convince the other, and no conclusion reached.

……

However, although the argument in the studio came to nothing, the gears of cause and effect in the real world had already begun to turn wildly because of this storm.

In the city center, inside a high-end river-view penthouse.

Just half an hour ago, the wealthy woman in the mink coat who was in the school office, pressing her daughter's head and offering a perfunctory apology, and then chatting and laughing with Zhou Liying, was now slumped on the leather sofa, her face pale.

The huge screen in front of her was showing a live broadcast of her successful parenting.

She had only wanted to see if her handling of the crisis in front of the camera was decent enough, but she never expected to be met with Chen Chu's devastating and scathing verbal abuse.

What terrified her even more was Chu Shitian, who hadn't said much in the corner of the screen, but whose every word sent chills down her spine!

The CEO of that multi-billion dollar conglomerate clearly stated on the program: "If it were me, I would not only make them apologize publicly in front of the entire school, but I would also make them pay compensation in multiple ways! Until they're heartbroken!"

The wealthy woman broke out in a cold sweat.

Her husband's company is currently trying every means to secure several outsourcing projects from the Chu Group. If this matter continues to escalate online, angering a powerful figure like Chu Shitian, or if netizens uncover their company's background and launch a boycott…

Then the fire will spread all the way to her own backyard!

"Oh no! Oh no!" The wealthy woman was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and she suddenly jumped up from the sofa. Her previously maintained ladylike demeanor vanished instantly.

She rushed to her daughter's bedroom in three quick steps and pushed the door open.

The daughter, who had just been nonchalant at school but was now lying in bed playing on her phone, was startled by her mother's ferocious, almost murderous, expression.

"Mom, what's wrong...?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Get up right now!" The wealthy woman ignored her daughter's astonishment and yanked her off the bed, her voice sharp with extreme fear and anger.

"You good-for-nothing! All you do is cause trouble outside! Now the whole internet is watching our family!" the wealthy woman said. "You go wash your face right now and change into something more presentable! I'm going to record an apology video for you and post it online! You have to cry as pitifully as possible, you hear me?!"

The daughter, clearly still confused, stubbornly protested, "No! Why should I record a video? Even that country bumpkin's mother isn't bothered!"

"Snapped!"

Without hesitation, the wealthy woman slapped her daughter across the face with real force, causing half of the girl's face to swell up instantly.

"Shut up! Her mother might not care, but millions across the country are!" the wealthy woman roared hysterically. "After you finish recording the video, come with me to Wu Jiajia's house immediately. Even if she lives in a garbage dump tonight, you have to personally bring gifts and kneel down to apologize to Wu Jiajia!"

"If we can't quell the anger online today, your dad will skin us alive when he gets back!"
