Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 462
“Don’t you want my mother to apologize to you?” Shen Yan felt a headache now again. She was fine during the meal, so he thought that she had forgiven him. It turned out that all she did was only to make fashion for Zhang Peng and Yang Ke’er. Now as they had left, she threw away her mask and started to get back at him. She had not been so narrow-minded before.
“That’s not what I meant. I just said that a dirty person like me was not worthy of entering the door of your Shen Family, so be it. If you think I taint your car when I sit in the car, then I’ll get out of the car. “Seeing that Shen Yan did not start driving, Xia Yu intended to get out of the car to take the taxi.
Shen Yan was reluctant and had to drive Xia Yu to the community where Wanru lived.
Not long after returning, Xia Yu received a call from her dad. On the phone, Xia Yu frankly told him that she had some problems with the relationship between her and Shen Yan and did not want to get engaged now.
Xia Mingde didn’t say anything and just asked her to think about it carefully, and he also said that he would support it no matter what she decided.
Xia Yu was very moved by his words and told his father that she would return to Ruyi Tower to work tomorrow. This made Xia Mingde very happy. He had always been hoping that his daughter could take over the family business over the years. Now she finally agreed. Could he be unhappy?
Xia Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. As she was going back sooner or later, should her father be so happy? After talking with his father, Xia Yu was in a very good mood and slept until dawn.
After she was neatly dressed in the morning, she saw that Cheng Xi had also been dressed up by Wanru. Today she deliberately asked for a day off to take Cheng Xi to the school. Many schools did not accept students who got enrolled halfway, so Wanru had to find a good private school for him.
It was a little expensive, but the conditions were quite good here. Cheng Xi did not expect that he could go to such a school one day, and he was so excited that his face turned red.
Wanru had set her back for several days, so she was embarrassed to delay her further. The next day Cheng Xi was sent by Xia Yu to the school. Xia Yu did not leave immediately. After listening to the classes all morning outside and seeing that Cheng Xi had adapted well, she was relieved.
After Xia Yu finished work in the evening, as Wanru did not come back since she still had something to do, Xia Yu picked Cheng Xi up and asked the child to take a bath after filling the bathtub with water, but Cheng Xi shook his head.
“Xixi does not pay attention to hygiene. Not a good boy!” Xia Yu said aside. Cheng Xi blushed immediately but was still reluctant to enter the bathroom.
“Why don’t you want to take a bath? Tell me the reason. Okay?” Xia Yu squatted down in front of the child and asked him with her eyes glancing at his two small hands clutching at his clothes tightly. Her heart tightened. Maybe it was not that he didn’t want to take a bath but did not want her to see something after he took off the clothes.
Xia Yu persuaded for a while before Cheng Xi began to take off his clothes. When she saw the bruises on his waist, which were not a bit but a large piece, and some scrapes on his elbows, she felt miserable and distressed at once.
“Was Xixi injured by someone? Or did you fall off by yourself? Don’t deceive your aunt.”
Cheng Xi’s small mouth flattened, and he told Xia Yu that he was pushed to bump against the corner of the table by his classmates and then fell to the ground, so he got injured.
Xia Yu was angry and distressed. At this moment, Wanru also came in from the outside. “Wanru, Xixi was beaten in the school.”
As Wanru saw the bruise on Cheng Xi’s body, her face changed, and she said with distress, “Why did you get hurt again? Who did it?”
“He said that he was injured by his classmates.” Xia Yu said for him, seeing that Cheng Xi kept silent.
The child in front of them did not dare to look at them but bowed his head.
Xia Yu suppressed the anger in her heart after uttering these words and took the child into the bathroom while holding his hand. She gave him a bath first.
After waiting for Cheng Xi to fall asleep in the evening, Wanru came over and told Xia Yu, “I will go to school tomorrow.”
“We should ask indeed. We cannot get this loose, can we?” Xia Yu also supported Wanru and said that if necessary, she could accompany her to get there.
Wanru also thought it would be better for Xia Yu to go with her, so she agreed.
In the early morning the next day, they sent the child to the school together, and then they went directly to his headteacher. The child’s clothes were lifted up, exposing the bruises on the back of his waist.
“Miss Wu, the boy told us yesterday after he came home that he was bullied by two classmates in the class, and he told you when he was initially bullied, but you did not criticize that child, which led the child to beat Cheng Xi again. Miss Wu, should you explain it to me?” Seeing that the teacher did not take it seriously, Xia Yu, who was not as gentle as Wanru, straightforwardly said everything.
Miss Wu rolled her eyes and said, “After Cheng Xi told me that he was bullied by his classmates, I severely criticized those two children. And with so many children in a class, I can’t always spend all my energy on one child. I still have a lot of work to do, and I am very helpless!”
After listening to her explanation, Xia Yu was more irritated, but she still restrained her anger. “Please ask the parents of the two children to come to the school. I need to talk to them.”
“It’s not necessary! I will communicate with the two children so that they won’t bully Cheng Xi anymore.” Hearing Xia Yu’s requirement of calling the parents of the two children, the female teacher in front of them frowned.
“Well, call your principal over and I’ll talk to him.” She didn’t call their parents over, and then she should find the leader of their school. Xia Yu just wanted to ask if all students could get a fair deal here.
When the teacher heard that Xia Yu was calling the leader over, she hurried to call the parents of the two children. One parent came over quickly, and the other one came over slowly after they waited for the whole forenoon.
“Xiaoqin, why did you urge me to come over quickly? I have very busy work in my company!” This was a woman in her thirties, who was very fat and appeared to be very impatient.
Was it because Miss Wu was the woman’s relative that she did not take Cheng Xi’s matter that he was bullied seriously since the woman in front of her called her so intimately? Xia Yu looked at the teacher coldly, with her eyes flickering.
“Hey, this is the big star, isn’t this?” The woman said, glancing at Xia Yu’s face.
Miss Wu was puzzled, looking at the parent. The woman explained and said, “You didn’t watch TV? She is the only daughter of the boss of the Ruyi Tower. Everyone calls her the Kitchen Goddess. She is very popular now.”
As soon as she heard that Xia Yu was the only daughter of the boss of the Ruyi Tower, Miss Wu’s attitude changed immediately, and she actively poured water for Xia Yu. She told the story about Cheng Xi to the fat woman and told her very seriously that she should really discipline her child.
The fat woman curled up her lips and came to the front of Xia Yu. “Miss Xia, this child is not yours, so just leave us alone. Let me talk to the parent. Please just read the magazine aside.”
The fat woman handed a magazine over to Xia Yu, and then she sat down between Wanru and the teacher. Wanru started to tell Cheng Xi’s matter to them, but before she could finish her words, the fat woman interrupted her. “The kids were just playing, weren’t they? It is not a big deal. I still have an important customer to meet this afternoon. You are wasting my time.”
The other parent at the side also echoed, “Yeah! It’s normal for children to play around.”
How could they call themselves parents? Wanru intended to ask them to apologize, and she would let it go. After all, the children were in the same school. But she didn’t expect their attitude to be so treacherous.
Wanru clenched her fists out of anger. She looked at the two people in front of her sharply and said coldly, “Well, since you don’t educate your children, then I will educate them for you and let them know right from wrong.”
Hearing the words of Wanru, the fat woman’s eyes were widened, and she said loudly, “What do you think you are? It’s not your turn to educate my child.”
“Everyone should calm down. Have a calm talk, and don’t quarrel.” Seeing that they were about to fight, Miss Wu was overwhelmed out of anxiety at the side. At this time, another teacher came over and persuaded them.
“Huh! Is this money enough? Even if my son breaks a leg of your child, the compensation is enough!” The fat woman took out a lot of money from her bag, which was probably worth 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.
She was humiliating others with money. Xia Yu could not tolerate it anymore at the side. Wanru was shivering out of anger. She didn’t look at the money but only looked at the two parents and Miss Wu coldly. “I want your two children to apologize to my son in front of the whole school’s teachers and students, and Miss Wu, I will report your failure of duty to the principal.”
After saying this, Wanru left the room directly and walked to the principal’s office. Xia Yu also followed up.
“A divorced woman who has adopted a child in an orphanage really treats herself as a somebody and makes a thing out of it. I have business to talk about, which is all worth millions of yuan. I have no time to waste with you here.” A sharp voice of that fat woman came from behind, along with the persuasion of Miss Wu.
“Madam, what’s wrong with a divorce? And, even if Cheng Xi was adopted, he couldn’t be bullied so casually by others.” Xia Yu really couldn’t help reasoning with her.
But she also knew that children who could go to this school all had a rich family or a strong background. Therefore, the attitude of these parents was so arrogant, and the teacher basically could not control them.
“Miss Xia, I’m not saying that the adopted child should be bullied. But after all, it is just a fight between the children. Didn’t I give her money as an apology? What does she mean by being so stubborn?” The fat woman should still show a little respect for Xia Yu.
“Madam, it’s not right for you to say that. The child’s mother was protecting the child’s dignity, not asking for money.” Xia Yu felt sick when she heard that this woman talked about money all the time.
Wanru clenched her fists and struggled to restrain the anger in her heart, so she did not rush up to scold angrily. After all, this was a school, and it was bad to make a turmoil, so she continued to move forward and came to the principal’s office, but the principal was not there.
Because of Xia Yu’s presence, it was not good for the fat woman to quarrel with Wanru, so she went away while swearing. The other parent probably didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so he asked his child to apologize to Cheng Xi on his own initiative.
Wanru did not embarrass them but let them go. And Wanru still continued to wait for the principal. After waiting for a while, the principal hurried over. Wanru explained the situation to him in detail, and he said that he would definitely deal with it seriously.
Coming out of the principal’s office, Wanru together with Xia Yu came to Cheng Xi’s class. Looking at the child who was taking the lesson seriously in the class from the outside, she felt very distressed.
Because she was still worried about the child, Xia Yu accompanied Wanru again the next day to come to the school. The fat woman who spoke harshly yesterday was also there, arguing with the principal.
“Why should my child make an apology? It’s just that the kids were fooling around. Your school isn’t doing anything, but for such a trivial thing, you have asked me to come to the school again and again. My time is precious, and business which is worth millions of yuan is waiting for me to talk about. Now my time is wasted here, and I cannot finish my business. Who is responsible for this?” The woman talked about her business which was worth millions of yuan so arrogantly almost with her nose up in the air.
The principal’s face turned blue. “Mom of Yang Hu, your son did bully his classmates. I hope that you can take it seriously. It’s important to make money, but your child’s education must be valued.
The principal’s voice just came out, and the woman’s voice rose sharply again. She said, “What’s wrong with my education? I am very good at education.”
Cheng Xi’s headteacher hurriedly pulled away the woman. Xia Yu also heard her call the woman “aunt”. They were really relatives.
