Translator: 549690339
The deep autumn cold was chilling, today was particularly windy too, but he only wore a black shirt and jacket, slim and upright.
The features of his face were subtly soft, producing a wicked smile on his thin lips, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, his expression arrogant, and his whole demeanor carried an air of frivolity and disdain for the world.
It was Chu Xiuhuang.
“Mr. Chu?” Mr. Wang was taken aback, rapidly putting on a smile as he approached, “What brings you here?”
His attitude had taken a total 180 degrees turn from a moment ago.
Chu Xiuhuang glanced at the man’s thick outstretched hand but showed no intention of shaking it. His hands remained in his trouser pockets, adopting an air of superiority, he said, “I came with Miss Su.”
Miss Su?
Mr. Wang’s expression changed abruptly once again.
How did young Chu get acquainted with this brat?
As for Su Wanwan, observing this situation, she was surprised to see Chu Xiuhuang here but chose to stay quiet.
From Mr. Wang’s distinctly transformed attitude earlier, it was clear that he knew Chu Xiuhuang, and a relationship of giving and receiving courtesies seemed to exist between them.
Indeed.
“So this was the case, hehe, a trivial matter indeed, children do quarrel, we communicated a bit and everything is fine now.” Mr. Wang nervously laughed. “Oh?” Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, his tone playful, “But didn’t I just hear Mr. Wang say fractured nose bridge, a destroyed look, and lifelong consequences?”
Mr. Wang panicked, hastily waving his hands, “No no no, my son merely had a nose bleed. The doctor said the situation isn’t serious.”
“No court case then?” Chu Xiuhuang smirked.
In Mr. Wang’s eyes, that smile was a tiger’s.
He broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly denying, “No no no, earlier I was just joking with Miss Su, yes, just joking.”
He didn’t expect to run into Chu Xiuhuang here.
In Nancheng, the one person who he could never afford to offend was Chu Xiuhuang.
The eldest son of the Chu family has always been a troublesome character in Nancheng, not only is he rich and influential, but he also had a knack for being a troublemaker.
It was said that for fights, he even retained a gang of professional fighters, and anyone who drew his attention stood to lose out in a big way.
His child’s condition was not grave at all, even if it was serious, he’d have to swallow his words and make his peace with it.
However, Chu Xiuhuang seemed intent on pursuing the matter to the end.
“My young nephew is always well-behaved. Since he insists he was not at fault, then let the facts speak for themselves.”
The young nephew?
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan felt an involuntary twitch at the corner of her eye.
When did she become your nephew?
And talking about it with such ease.
Why don’t you ascend to the heavens then?
Then, Chu Xiuhuang looked at Teacher Zhou, “Teacher, I request to see the surveillance video from the classroom.”

School Security Office, half an hour later.
The security guard quickly pulled up and played the surveillance video.
In the video, as all the kids were preparing to leave class, a chubby boy suddenly ran to Fu Ziyang, kept talking to him, and even reached out to push him.
Fu Ziyang ignored him throughout until he was packing to leave. Suddenly, the chubby boy assaulted him from behind, pushing him to the floor.
So, when Fu Ziyang got up, both kids started scrapping; in the meantime, a little girl tried to break up the fight, got pushed down, and burst into tears. Finally, teacher Zhou appeared…
The video playback stopped.
Seeing the whole event, Su Wanwan and everyone else sighed with relief, “Ziyang, we’ve all seen what happened now. Can you explain to Teacher Zhou now why you retaliated?”
She emphasized the word “retaliated”, which immediately made Teacher Zhou and Mr. Wang even more embarrassed.
With his small chubby face, Fu Ziyang finally started to explain, “Wang Xiaobo likes Shi Luoluo, but Shi Luoluo likes me. So he said he wanted to fight me to the death, whoever wins gets to be Shi Luoluo’s boyfriend.”
Mr. Wang:”…”
Teacher Zhou:
Chu Xiuhuang:”…”
Su Wanwan was rendered speechless.
After all these events, was it actually because… two boys were vying for a single girl?
Aren’t children nowadays too precocious?
No wonder he didn’t want her to tell Huo Jingshen, he was just shy.
Su Wanwan spoke seriously, “()Mr. Wang, you’ve seen the surveillance footage, the facts are clear. Your son instigated and struck first, Ziyang was purely acting in self-defense. If you don’t think the video displays enough evidence, I can go to the hospital with you now and hear what your son has to say. Or we can bring Luoluo here and let the children in the class share what they saw. I believe that good children won’t lie.”
“There’s no need.” Mr. Wang said with a strained face, “Everything’s already been investigated and it’s indeed my fault. I acted impulsively out of anger and didn’t find out the truth before blaming the child. I beg your forgiveness, Miss Su.”
“Yes, yes, I was also wrong in this matter.” Teacher Zhou chimed in with his apology, “Actually, Fu Ziyang has always been an excellent student. He’s clever, well-behaved, does well in his studies, has a cheerful personality, and is well-liked by his classmates.”
Talking, he reached out to pat Fu Ziyang’s little head.
Who would have expected the little fellow to dodge it with an aloof head turn.
Teacher Zhou couldn’t have been more awkward.
Seeing this, Su Wanwan continued to speak, “Children are innocent. I don’t want to hear anyone badmouthing Ziyang’s parents again. His parents couldn’t rush back from abroad, and us, his aunt and uncle, are too busy to spend a lot of time with him. Teacher Zhou, given your position, I hope you will guide the children in their actions and words to prevent rumors from hurting children’s self-esteem..”
