While Youyou calmly sat on his fatherâs knees, the latter merely watched the entire farce with a cold and indifferent expression.
The teacher moved to sit beside the man and poured a cup of tea before proceeding to conduct her counselling.
âThis is your first time visiting the school, right? Why didnât you and your wife turn up at the start of school?â
âI apologize for the negligence; we were busy then.â
He squinted as he gave a succinct reply.
Her heart fluttered at his voice.
This manâs voice was simply music to the ears!
If not for the fact that he was already taken, she would likely be unable to resist falling for him.
The boy could not help twitching his lips when he noticed the adoration and shyness in his teacherâs eyes.
Heck!
Whatâs going on?
âSince youâre here now, how about you register your information for the school to keep?â
She picked up the registration form and handed it to him. The school would make a compilation of the contact details of their studentsâ parents. As this particular boyâs parents did not register their information, the school admin kept urging him to have them come by.
Li Hanlin, in fact, visited here at the start of the school year, but because the information would not match, he left this registration form blank.
Holding the pen in hand, Mu Yazhe scrawled at the information column and signed his name at the end.
The teacher was taken aback when she took a gander at it.
âYour surname is Mu?â
âYes.â
Feeling surprised, she asked, âOh, so Youyou doesnât share your surname?â
âDoes it matter?â He raised his eyes and retorted in an indifferent manner, rendering the teacher speechless.
She exclaimed, âOf course not!â
âHis mother is busy, so you can just contact me if anything happens in the future.â
âAlright!â
She paused and then hesitantly probed, âHow do you intend to settle this matter?â
âIâll deal with it the way it should be dealt with.â
The teacher hesitated for a bit before leaning slightly forward and saying softly, âThereâs something I must let you know first, Mr. Mu; Lin Fengâs parents are no simple folks! I really like your son, so itâs really regrettable that such a matter happened to him, but since it has already happened, shouldnât we think of a solution to it? You must be clear that thereâs no absolute fairness and justice in this world. Youyou shouldnât have offended his classmateâs mother at all! Sheâs the most problematic parent in this class and she spoils her son rotten! Because of her lofty background, we canât do anything to her even when sheâs the one being unreasonable! Thatâs why I advise that you give in to her for a bit! Theyâre rich and powerful; her husband, whoâs a judge from the Government Affairs Hall, isnât someone we can offend! Your son is also in the wrong, so letâs just have him eat the humble pie and admit his mistakeâapologize to his classmate and pay for his medical bills; this matter will be resolved with that! Why donât we just do that? For the sake of the child, we donât wish to blow this out of proportions! Sigh...â
The man, however, pursed his lips in distaste. âShould a teacher be saying this in front of a child?â
â...Eh?â
âWhat youâre teaching the child now is that it doesnât matter who is right or wrong but that whoever has a stronger background needs not apologize even when the person is in the wrong.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
