Li Yu snorted coldly, “Buying people’s favor.”
At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the office. Zhao Xueying turned her head to see the discipline master and the principal guiding a young woman into the room.
The woman was decked out in branded attire and carried herself with an air of arrogance.
Upon seeing the woman, Li Yu immediately burst into tears and threw herself at her, “Mother, look at my face. She scratched it. I am disfigured, wu wu wu.”
The woman lovingly wrapped her arms around her daughter and directed a wrathful glare at Ming Chen, “Was it you who scratched my daughter’s face?”
Ming Chen met her gaze without fear, “She attacked me first, I was only defending myself.”
“Mother, she insulted me first,” Li Yu stated, wronged.
Seeing this, the woman’s temper flared even further. She turned to the old man on the side, “Mr. Li, my daughter was so wronged at your school, aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”
The principal shuddered nervously and quickly replied, “Madam Li, please calm down. We acknowledge our school’s negligence in this matter, rest assured, we will give you a satisfactory explanation.”
To Zhao Xueying, the principal said, “Let’s handle this according to school regulations. Expel the involved student.”
Zhao Xueying was taken aback. She quickly spoke up, “Principal, isn’t expulsion a bit too severe for children’s quarrels?”
The woman sneered coldly, maintaining an intimidating gaze at Zhao Xueying, “Is this just a quarrel between children? You’re quite harsh as a class teacher. Look at my daughter’s face. She may become disfigured. If you don’t want to continue your job, there are surely many others who can replace you. I am more afraid of my daughter being led astray by you.”
Zhao Xueying was visibly embarrassed. She had never met such a presumptuous parent before. Seeing the principal remain silent, she understood that Li Yu’s family had considerable influence.
Thinking for a moment, Zhao Xueying said, “Expulsion is a serious matter that affects the student’s future. I’ll invite Ming Chen’s parents over, so we can have a proper discussion.”
The woman took a seat and scoffed, “I’d like to see just how capable the parents of such a malicious girl can be.”
Zhao Xueying quickly found the student’s information, turned to Ming Chen’s page, and was about to make a call when Ming Chen and Ming Ti, one on each side, grabbed hold of her, looking pitiful, “Teacher…”
If Ming Jing knew she had caused trouble at school, she would definitely get mad.
Ming Chen finally understood the gravity of the situation, losing her initial satisfaction. She pulled a long face and furrowed her eyebrows.
Upon seeing Ming Chen’s fear, Li Yu could not help but laugh triumphantly.
Zhao Xueying sighed and reassured them in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. I will do everything within my power to protect you.”
Zhao Xueying dialed the number, which was answered after three rings.
“Hello, may I speak with the mother of Ming Chen and Ming Ti, please?”
After a period of silence, a soft and ethereal voice came through the phone like harmonious music, “This is she.”
Zhao Xueying was stunned by the youthfulness of the voice.
She instinctively looked at Ming Chen and Ming Ti, who lowered their heads guiltily.
“Hello, I am their class teacher, Zhao Xueying. The thing is, your daughters got into a conflict with a classmate at school…”, Zhao Xueying glanced at the woman and the principal, then lowered her voice and moved away to talk.
After briefing her succinctly, she asked, “Do you have time to come to the school? The matter is a little tricky. The other parent is insistent on having the principal expel the two students.”
This sentence was to remind her that the other party was not someone to be trifled with.
“Thank you, teacher, I’ll be there soon.” The voice promptly hung up.
Zhao Xueying’s mind was filled with the echo of that soft and ethereal voice. She felt it was odd, the mother of Ming Ti and Ming Chen seemed too young.
Ming Ti bit her lip and said, “Teacher, I will go to the school gate to meet her.”
Zhao Xueying nodded, “Hurry.”
Jessica Feng sat on the sofa, and gently touched Li Yu’s face, “Does it hurt?”
Li Yu pouted grievously, “It hurts~.”
Jessica Feng glared at Ming Chen harshly, “Young punk, at such a tender age, you’re so cruel. I need to settle this account with your parent. If you can raise such a daughter, she must be a bad piece of work too.”
Ming Chen clenched her fists, and challenged, “You can insult me, but you cannot insult my parents.”
Jessica Feng stood up, walked over to Ming Chen, and gripped her chin tightly. The sharp manicure scratched the young girl’s tender skin. Ming Chen flinched from the pain, hastily slapped her hand away, and gave her a forceful push, “Get lost, don’t touch me.”
The woman, wearing high heels, was caught off guard and stumbled by Ming Chen’s shove, but Zhao Xueying swiftly caught her.
If anything were to happen to this woman, she would only make things more difficult for Ming Chen and her family.
True enough, after Jessica Feng regained her balance, she shrugged off Zhao Xueying’s hand, her eyebrows knitted in anger, pointing at Ming Chen, “You… you dare to push me?”
Jessica Feng raised her hand to slap Ming Chen. Just then, a soft, ethereal voice echoed through the room, as refreshing as the summer breeze, yet as chilling as the winter snow.
“Ming Chen.”
Everyone instinctively turned towards the door. Amid the damp chill, a young girl walked in, treading over the cold wind.
“Ming Jing…” Ming Chen dashed over to hug the newcomer, sobbing with grievance.
Regardless of the verbal abuse she had just received, she had not cried. Seeing their powerful young one crying so pitifully upon the arrival of her family made Li Yu feel insulted. She was, after all, the real victim.
The newcomer seemed to be a young girl. Despite the harsh late autumn, she was wearing a thin white dress, appearing ethereal and beautiful. But it also made people shiver in the cold.
Ming Jing said in an indifferent tone, “Stop crying.”
Ming Chen immediately ceased her sobbing, her whimpering quieted.
Ming Jing looked up at Jessica Feng. Jessica shivered upon meeting those cool, mesmerizing eyes. She realized her hand was still suspended in mid-air and hastily withdrew it.
“Are you her parent?” She spoke, her voice filled with disbelief.
“She’s too young. Call the one in charge of your household.”
Ming Jing gave a faint smile, “I am.”
Zhao Xueying knitted her eyebrows and looked at Ming Jing with doubting eyes.
“Who are you to her?”
“Her sister.”
Ming Chen tugged at Ming Jing’s sleeve secretly, “Ming Jing, I…”
Ming Jing ran her hand through Ming Chen’s hair, “Don’t be afraid.”
Ming Chen’s anxious heart calmed down with the emotionless words from Ming Jing.
Jessica Feng sneered coldly, pulled Li Yu close, and pointed at her face, “See my daughter’s face? Your sister scratched it. I insist your sister be expelled for her malicious behavior at such a young age. The principal already agreed.”
The principal stood nearby and looked a little embarrassed upon hearing her words.
“Considering the severity of this student’s behavior creating a negative impact within the school, we suggest Ming Chen should voluntarily apply for a leave of absence,” he suggested, offering both sides a way out. After all, schools are places to teach and nurture students, not to oppress them.
Jessica Feng glanced at the principal, “Mr. Principal, you did not say that just now.”
The principal looked a little embarrassed, “Well… Madam Li, considering the children’s futures, let’s not be too harsh.”
“I think this principal does not want to keep his job,” she replied.
The principal, hiding his rage, had no choice but to say with regret, “My apologies to the parent here…”
