“…Okay.” He wanted to bully Ilan Xiaoru, hoping that bullying her would make her notice him as she cried out in frustration. But since Chi Jingchen had spoken up, he decided not to bully Han Xiaoru.
As expected, Xu Lulu looked relieved, “Jingchen is right, you all should get along well in kindergarten, everyone is a good friend, and you should not bully your own friends. Bullying your own friends is not good behavior. A person who always bullies friends will end up without little friends willing to be with them in the future. Liang Qing is a good child who knows to correct his mistakes and won’t bully his friends anymore, right?”
Liang Qing now liked his teacher very much too. As soon as the teacher spoke, he nodded eagerly, like a chick pecking at grains.
Zhou Ru didn’t want to stay here a second longer; all she wanted was to leave quickly. She forced a smile that was neither genuine nor cheerful and tugged at the corner of her mouth as she walked over and took Liang Qing’s hand, “Alright, let’s go home.”
Liang Qing least liked his mother. He struggled a bit but couldn’t break free and sulkily remained silent. Zhou Ru was in no mood to care about his feelings and, holding his hand, said to Xu Lulu, “Teacher Lulu, I’m taking Liang Qing and leaving first.”
When she reached the doorway, she realized that Li Beijue was blocking her way. To leave, he had to step aside for her. Seeing Li Beijue now sent a wave of fear through her, but she couldn’t just stand inside foolishly forever; she needed to leave. She managed her facial muscles to make her expression seem less unsightly and squeezed out a smile more twisted than crying, “Excuse me, parent, could you please let me through?”
Li Beijue glanced at her and didn’t budge, “Sure, once you’ve paid, you can leave.”
“Pay, compensation!” Zhou Ru screeched, “Are you saying you still want me to pay?”
Her son was beaten and even an apology had to suffice, now she was being asked to pay?
Where in the world does this make sense!
However, in this place, Li Beijue was the law!
“Jingchen’s arm is injured,” he stated plainly, his meaning clear.
Zhou Ru twitched the corner of her mouth, “My son Liang Qing has scars on his neck and body.”
If they were to compensate based on injuries, her family wouldn’t be the ones to pay.
Li Beijue didn’t even give Liang Qing a glance and countered her, “So what?”
Zhou Ru finally understood; it seemed that even if her son were beaten to death, it would be deserved, but if Chi Jingchen lost even a hair, she would be responsible!
She thought she was already domineering and protective, but this time she truly saw what utter dominance and protectiveness looked like!
This level of protectiveness was simply unbelievable!
She wasn’t foolish, and part of her understood that her Third Uncle was wary of this man, which was why he had asked her to apologize. With so much indignation inside, she still didn’t dare to make a scene.
Iler complexion turned green then white as if a bottle of seasoning had been tipped over. She took a deep breath and fished her wallet out of her bag. Reluctantly counting out five one-hundred bills, she pushed her chubby cheeks into a semblance of a smile and handed over the money, “Look, is this much enough?”
Ila, his son was worth merely five hundred? Li Beijue’s eyes were filled with scorn, and without a word, he just looked at Zhou Ru.
Zhou Ru’s face paled; she pulled out two thousand more from her bag, “This should be enough, right. Your child only has scratches on his arm, after all, even a visit to the Hospital would just cost a few hundred.”
Li Beijue took the money and flung two cold words at her, “Get lost.”
Zhou Ru felt as if she had been granted amnesty and quickly pulled Liang Qing away.. She moved so rapidly as if a ghost was chasing her from behind…
