Song Ci replied, “The one who enrolled Yujin in your school was his mother. She had indeed put in a lot of effort, but he had experienced enough of her love.”
Wu Xiaonian did not know what to say. Clearly, Song Ci was not angry anymore. She did not even scold her. However, Song Ci’s decision for Song Yujin was set in stone. No amount of persuasion would work.
“Since this is the case, I will respect your decision. Still, if you ever change your mind, you can contact me at any time. I will do my best and fight for Song Yujin. Of course, I can’t guarantee anything. After all, there’s only so much I can do.”
Song Ci smiled faintly.
“Alright, thank you.”
Wu Xiaonian was silent for a moment. Then, she said, “I’m sorry for my attitude today. You arrived so late, so I thought you didn’t care about Song Yujin. I didn’t believe your words and that’s my fault.”
Song Ci remained calm. She was not really bothered.
“You don’t have to apologize to me. Rather, I think you should apologize to Yujin. He told the truth but was still treated unjustly. I understand your position. Regardless, Yujin is still a child. He’s smart, but what happened may still traumatize him. Needless to say, this is all under the premise that you’re willing. I hope you can clear up some misunderstandings with my little brother. At least let him know that you trusted his words.”
Song Yujin had a meticulous personality. He did not really care, but smoothing matters over would definitely make him happier.
On the other hand, Song Yujin had listened to all of Song Ci’s words.
Shortly after, Song Ci handed her phone to him.
“Teacher Wu has something to say to you.”
Song Yujin took the phone and placed it by his ear. He heard Wu Xiaonian’s voice.
“Yujin, what happened today is my fault. I didn���t really want to punish you and was just trying to please Yu Nan’s mother. Otherwise, she would cause an even bigger ruckus. I dare not oppose her. I’m only a teacher and my capabilities are limited. Nonetheless, I tried protecting you using my own way. Unfortunately, it didn’t work and I’m truly sorry.”
In all honesty, Song Yujin did not mind the punishment. He was stingy with his emotions and that would not change easily.
Wu Xiaonian acted unsympathetically before but apparently, she was trying to protect him. Song Yujin was a little confused. He thought about the incident again combined with Wu Xiaonian’s words. Finally, the little boy gained some understanding of his teacher’s position.
Wu Xiaonian was against the idea of Song Yujin dropping out. She did not think that he was a bad child at all.
Upon realizing this, Song Yujin was a little surprised. He thought that Wu Xiaonian genuinely believed the other party. In reality, she was simply doing her best to resolve the issue.
Song Yujin uttered, “But you said I hurt and made him cry….”
Wu Xiaonian held her forehead in a helpless manner.
“He was injured and crying. The physical signs were on full display. Anyone who sees him will think he’s being bullied. As a teacher, I can’t just turn a blind eye to it. What if you hit him more severely next time? Am I supposed to encourage you?”
Song Yujin frowned.
“But you’re apologizing now?”
