311 Deal With It Severely
“I have to thank you.” Shen Nian straightened up and looked at her seriously. “You can make any request.”
Cheng Mu awkwardly looked at the parents standing around her and nervously clutched the blanket. “Can we talk about this later? I-I’m a little hungry.”
“Have some food then.” Shen Yin asked with a smile, “What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”
Lian Jing reached out to stop her. “I’ll get someone to order the food and send it over. While I was on the way here, I asked Zhong Xin to make the preparations. I’ve also hired two nursing aides to help take care of her.”
“You’re so considerate.” Shen Yin smiled sweetly at him. At that moment, the teacher entered the room. When Shen Yin saw the teacher, she took Shen Nian’s examination report from Lian Jing. “Hello, teacher. Cheng Mu is fine now. I think we should have a good talk about how Nian Nian was bullied in school.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Cheng Mu was still brooding over this matter. It was because Cui Hao had viciously attacked Shen Nian that she had fallen down the stairs while trying to save him.
She had been unconscious for so long that she did not know that her teacher already understood what had happened. Afraid that the others might not know and let Cui Hao off, she hurriedly shouted, “Teacher, Cui Hao was the one who attacked first. You must not let him off. If he dares to use violence at such a young age, who will be able to control him when he grows up? He was the one who bullied Nian Nian and caused Nian Nian’s head to hit the wall.”
Of course, the teacher knew that this matter could not be brushed off so easily. Shen Nian’s father was the famous President Lian. She certainly would not dare to pretend that nothing had happened. She assumed a serious air and nodded. “I know. Please come outside with me to talk.”-
She had been absent just now because she had gone to call the principal to seek his opinion once she found out about Shen Nian’s background. Now, she felt more self-assured and felt that this situation was not too difficult to deal with.
“The school has already checked the surveillance cameras and saw Cui Hao’s inappropriate behavior towards Shen Nian. Moreover, many students have provided evidence that Cui Hao was the one who dragged Shen Nian out of the classroom, to a corner where there were no surveillance cameras.”
“With the testimonies of the students and Cheng Mu as an eye-witness, the school has decided to deal with this matter seriously. They will get Cui Hao’s parents to compensate Shen Nian for any damages. This will go on Cui Hao’s school record and he will be asked to write a 5,000-word self-reflection. At the next flag-raising ceremony, he will have to apologize to Shen Nian in front of the entire school. Do you think this is alright?”
When Shen Yin heard what had happened to Shen Nian, her heart ached so much it was as if someone was yanking on it. Her precious, pampered child had been bullied in school by a boy four years older than him. If she had known this would happen, Shen Yin would not have allowed the child skip a grade.
However, since matters had come to a head, this was the best way for the school to handle it. She could only agree. “Alright, I will consider the matter closed. However, I hope that the school will take a serious view of blind spots in the surveillance cameras, in case similar incidents happen again in the future. In addition, I also hope that the students in the class can get along well. Otherwise, I will consider transferring Nian Nian to another school.”
The teacher was relieved when she heard the first part, but when she heard the second part, she gasped in shock.
Besides the identity of Shen Nian’s father, Shen Nian’s results alone were enough to establish him the greatest genius since the school was founded. The school’s losses would be immeasurable if they let such a rare talent escape.
In the end, even if Lian Jing had not appeared today, the school would still deal with Cui Hao seriously in order to make Shen Nian stay.
Of course, the teacher did not dare to be negligent. She hurriedly nodded and agreed. “We will learn from this incident. If Nian Nian needs anything, you can contact me at any time. I will do my best to help him.”
“Okay, thank you, Teacher.” Shen Yin had nothing else to say. She handed the medical report to the teacher for safekeeping, then walked back to the ward to see Shen Nian. “Didn’t the doctor also ask you to rest well? Why don’t you let Daddy send you home first? Mommy will stay here and watch over Mu Mu, okay?”
“No.” Shen Nian stubbornly sat on the chair without moving. “Cheng Mu was injured because of me. I should stay here with her until she’s discharged from the hospital.”
Shen Yin did not say anything else, but when she got up and glanced at Lian Jing, she looked a little troubled.
Lian Jing did not think much of it. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and coaxed her softly. “This is his business. Let him decide for himself. He knows his body best. Let’s do our part and let the rest go.”
“It’s not as simple as you make it out to be.” Shen Yin felt that Shen Nian was just a child and might neglect his own health out of misplaced sense of loyalty. Although a concussion was not a big deal, it was not minor either. She was afraid that his health would suffer in the future, so she wanted him to have a good rest now.
Cheng Mu sat on the bed and ate the apple her sister had peeled for her. When she heard Shen Nian’s words, her eyes widened. “Nian Nian, you’re not leaving? That’s great. I don’t dare to sleep alone in the hospital at night. You can stay and keep me company!”
