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

Chapter 56: Dilemma

The production team sat in the control room, with the screen in front of them showing everything that had just happened in the lounge.

Xu Ziang's voice came through the earphones, carrying the hoarse sob that had been suppressed for too long and finally broke down.

The voice didn't sound like that of a rebellious teenager running away from home in a fit of pique; it sounded more like that of a child yearning for understanding but never receiving a response.

The sound pierced the air in the studio, silencing everyone.

Some people took off their headphones, some put down their pens, and some leaned back in their chairs, silently watching the screen.

"If you both love each other, why make the other person feel unloved?"

I don't know who said that first.

No one answered, but everyone understood the weight of those words.

This scene is so strange.

The father does not not love his son, and the son does not disrespect his father.

What was clearly a two-way relationship ended in a complete breakup.

In the studio, Zhao Shuilang fell silent, a rare occurrence.

She didn't pick up the thermos; she just sat there quietly, watching the boy on the screen crying uncontrollably.

That crying couldn't be faked.

That's so true.

It's so real that it's impossible to deconstruct or analyze it using any theory.

That was a child's most instinctive grief; he respected his father, otherwise he wouldn't have been so distressed.

Zhou Zhenyang leaned back in his chair, remained silent for a while, and then spoke softly.

"If Xu Danian had listened to Zi'ang properly and tried to understand him, things wouldn't have come to this."

Zhao Shuilang remained silent for a moment, and for the first time did not immediately agree.

She opened her mouth, then closed it again, and finally spoke, her tone gentler than usual, but still retaining her consistent stance.

"I disagree with what you said. If Xu Danian really listened to his child and told him that skipping school to play games was right, and that lying to his father was right, is that something a father should do?"

Zhou Zhenyang opened his mouth.

Zhao Shuilang didn't give him a chance to interrupt: "Let me ask you, if your child lied to you like this, wouldn't you criticize him? If you encourage him to do this, you'll only harm him, encouraging him to cheat and swindle in society, making him mistakenly believe that he can get everything through deception. You need to understand, at home, the father bears the responsibility, but in society, no one will tolerate him!"

Zhou Zhenyang leaned back in his chair, opened his mouth, but found himself unable to find the right words to refute.

Perhaps he knew it in his heart.

Zhao Shuilang's words were not entirely without merit.

The director rubbed his temples and paced back and forth in the live broadcast room twice.

He decided to ask Chen Chu for his opinion.

Based on the family information obtained by the program team.

Chen Chu wasn't an education expert at first, and his relationship with his eldest son was extremely bad. His eldest son lived at school and refused to come home, which was one of the reasons why the program team chose him to participate in the show.

If Chen Chu had been a model father from the beginning, the production team wouldn't have chosen him.

But the fact that Chen Chu and Chen Ziran have gotten along like this shows that he has truly changed, and perhaps we can learn from his experience.

However, the thought that Chen Chu might try to take advantage of him made him a little nervous.

I can only ask Chen Chu privately after he finishes his broadcast tonight.

After all, the Xu Ziang incident has had a pretty bad impact; the controversy was already huge, and they can't afford to escalate it further...

Not long ago, the Education Bureau came to inquire about this matter.

If this show causes any more trouble, maybe he, as the director, should pack up and go into the sex industry...

……

school.

The bell rang, and the classroom became noisy.

Qian Jiaxin walked over from the back row, holding a pink invitation card in her hand, and tapped on the table in front of Chen Ziran's desk.

"Chen Ziran, it's my birthday on Sunday, do you want to come?"

Her tone was casual.

Chen Ziran was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her. She stood in the light streaming in through the window, the pink card in her hand gleaming softly in the light.

Before his mind could even process it, his mouth had already agreed: "Okay."

Qian Jiaxin smiled and placed the invitation card on his desk: "Then it's settled, Sunday afternoon at 2 pm, at my house."

Then she turned and left.

Chen Ziran looked down at the pink invitation card on the table. There were a few stars drawn on it with a highlighter and a line of text written on it.

"Qian Jiaxin's Birthday Party".

He stared at the words for a long time, then slowly slumped onto the table, buried his face in his arms, and felt deep regret.

Why did I agree so readily?

His mind was filled with conflicting thoughts.

Will Dad think there's something going on and prevent him from going?

Or he could lie and make up an excuse to go out on Sunday; Dad would definitely believe him...

No, no.

He immediately dismissed the idea in his mind.

Trust is only given once; you can't lie to your father.

But what if Dad doesn't agree if I tell the truth?

Or what if I absolutely have to go with them...?

That would be so awkward.

He felt that this was very likely.

Any parent would worry about something going wrong when celebrating a female classmate's birthday.

What kind of gift should I give?

Too cheap is definitely not an option. I'm a rich guy with tens of thousands in savings; it would be too embarrassing to give away something like chewing gum.

But sending something too expensive is also not an option.

If people misunderstand and think he has feelings for Qian Jiaxin, won't that cause them trouble?

For a moment, Chen Chu's situation became a minor matter, since at worst, Chen Chu could simply go along.

But giving gifts...

He really didn't know what to give.

He was distracted all afternoon. He recognized each word of the formula the teacher wrote on the blackboard, but he couldn't understand it when they were put together.

Fortunately, it's only Thursday, so I still have two days to think it over.

"Snapped!"

A hand slapped him hard on the back.

Yang Xunran plopped down in the empty seat next to him and asked casually, "What's wrong with you? You look so distracted."

Chen Ziran lay slumped on the table, not even looking up: "You don't understand."

Yang Xunran's curiosity was piqued by this sentence: "How am I supposed to understand if you don't tell me?"

Chen Ziran remained slumped over the table, his voice muffled: "There are some things that you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Yang Xunran scratched his head, thought for a long time, and then said, "Then tell me!"

Chen Ziran raised his eyelids to look at him, then leaned back down: "Some things, those who understand, understand; those who don't, you won't understand even if I explain."

Yang Xunran froze on the spot, his brain racing for a moment, his CPU overheating instantly.

Should I understand this?

Yang Xunran was still racking his brains, scratching his head, until school ended in the evening.

Is he not qualified to be called a brother?

Chen Ziran clearly has troubles, but there's nothing he can do about it.

Perhaps their relationship didn't reach the legendary level of mutual understanding.

But they are brothers.

Yang Xunran's mentality collapsed.

at the same time.

Chen Ziran returned home with his schoolbag on his back, looking dejected.

Chen Chu sat on the sofa teaching Chen Xiayu to read and write.

Seeing Chen Ziran's worried and distressed expression.
