“Well if it isn’t us? We haven’t had enough commotion at the mall, now here we are causing more trouble.” Ye Shuangshuang glared fiercely at the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman snorted coldly and turned to Lin Xiu, “Your son scratched my son, how do you plan to deal with it?” She couldn’t be bothered to argue with a little girl, dealing with her son’s situation was the most important matter at hand.
“Teacher, what happened?” Lin Xiu didn’t pay attention to the middle-aged woman, patted her son who had rushed into her arms, and looked at Teacher Xu for an explanation.
“Here’s what happened, during the break, your Lin Jun was playing on the slide. Wang Yangyang pushed him and called him a child without a father. Then the two of them started fighting,” Teacher Xu explained. She knew this after asking the kids who were playing together at the time. She didn’t like that little kid Wang Yangyang much either, he was always domineering, especially fond of bullying female classmates.
“Thank you, Teacher Xu! I understand,” Lin Xiu nodded and then addressed the middle-aged woman, “This matter should be one where your child apologizes to mine.”
“Why should they? It’s your child who scratched my son; you need to compensate me for the medical expenses. Look at how deep these wounds are, it surely requires at least ten to twenty thousand,” the middle-aged woman pointed to the scratches on her son’s face.
“Ten to twenty thousand? Why don’t you just rob us? Besides, it’s your son who has no manners, yet you have the nerve to come asking us for money. I’ve finally understood the saying, ‘A crooked beam makes a crooked house.’ It’s about people like you, a warped jujube. You’re crooked yourself and you lead your child astray. With a mother like you, I truly feel sorry for your son,” Ye Shuangshuang said with sarcasm.
“Pfft!” Song Yan Ning and Song Yanli couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Teacher Xu bowed her head, her shoulders shaking non-stop with silent laughter. This girl really had a sharp tongue!
The middle-aged woman was so furious her face turned red, “Do you really think I’m easy to bully? I’ll have you know, my husband is a corporate executive. His network is beyond your wildest dreams. I’m going to call him right now, and you just wait!”
“Mrs. Wang Yangyang, let’s talk this out nicely,” Teacher Xu advised. She hated it when people always pulled rank, saying ‘my family member is a leader at some agency.’
“Hmph!” The middle-aged woman took out her phone and upon connecting, spoke in an annoyingly coquettish voice, “Honey! Our Yangyang got bullied in kindergarten and even got his face scratched. Now their parents are here and bullying me too. You have to come quickly.”
Song Yan Ning and her companions couldn’t help but shiver. They had no idea how her husband could stand her.
The middle-aged woman hung up her phone with a smug look on her face, “My husband will be here soon.”
“Let him come, what are we, scared?” Ye Shuangshuang scoffed. Among the three of them, not to mention her, both Xiao Ning and Xiao Li were from the Song Family. In Beijing, except for the Qin Family, the Song Family was virtually unassailable.
The middle-aged woman glared at Ye Shuangshuang and pulled her son towards the sofa. She knew she couldn’t win an argument against them on her own, it was better to wait for her husband to arrive.
“Sister Lin, is your baby hurt anywhere?” Song Yan Ning approached Lin Xiu. She noticed that ever since Teacher Xu mentioned what Wang Yangyang had said, Lin Xiu had been holding back tears.
“There’s just a small scratch on his neck, it’s nothing.” Lin Xiu felt genuinely upset. She always thought she was strong, but when she heard Teacher Xu say that Wang Yangyang had called Xiao Jun fatherless, it really hurt her, as if someone had viciously slashed her heart. She too wanted to give Xiao Jun a complete family, but she had no way of doing so.
