Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Cheng? Could it be that something happened at school? Mo Yan took a step forward and quickly replied, âYes, Iâm Mo Chengâs sister. May I ask what happened to him?â
The woman on the other end of the phone paused for a moment and then said, âOh, Iâm Mo Chengâs form teacher. Itâs like this. Mo Cheng and his classmates had an argument and now they canât agree on anything. Hurry and come to school.â
After hanging up the phone, Mo Yan anxiously called a taxi and rushed to Mo Chengâs school.
The middle school that Mo Cheng attended was an international school. It had top-notch teachers and environment. It was the best middle school in the city. At the same time, its tuition fees were also extremely high, costing more than 100,000 yuan a year.
Because of Mo Chengâs excellent results, he had an exemption of 80% of the tuition fees as a special enrollment student. But even so, the tuition fees still brought a lot of pressure to Mo Yan.
Hearing that Mo Cheng, who had always been sensible and considerate, quarreled with someone else, Mo Yan was in disbelief.
Rushing to the school, Mo Yan jogged all the way to the teacher-in-chargeâs office. As soon as she entered the office, she saw Mo Cheng and three boys standing side by side with different expressions.
âMo Yan! Why are you here!â Mo Chengâs eyes widened when he saw Mo Yan entering the door, then he could not help but say.
Mo Yan patted his shoulder, then looked at the middle-aged woman sitting at the side and said, âHello, teacher. I am Mo Chengâs sister.â
The teacher nodded and motioned for her to sit down. Then she said, âI had no choice but to invite you to school today. It was originally just a small conflict between the students, but Mo Cheng has a stubborn temper and refused to reconcile. We donât know what to do. Sigh.â
Mo Yan turned her head to look at Mo Cheng. Mo Cheng bit his lips and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
âOkay, thank you for your hard work, teacher. Iâll talk to him,â Mo Yan replied and then gently asked Mo Cheng, âMo Cheng, explain yourself.â
Mo Cheng clenched his fists, and tears flashed in his eyes. âI didnât do anything wrong. Iâm not apologizingâ
âUm...â Mo Yan turned to look at the teacher again, waiting for her reply.
âAhem, itâs like this. Mo Cheng and the three students were arguing during recess. Even after class started, Mo Cheng was still arguing with them, seriously disturbing the class. So, I mediated between both parties. These three students apologized to Mo Cheng. Only Mo Cheng wasnât willing to apologize to them.â
After the teacher finished speaking, Mo Yan still did not reply. Mo Cheng took a step forward and interrupted with tears in his eyes, âIâm not arguing! Iâm explaining! I was wronged. Itâs their fault, not mine!â
âWhy did you guys quarrel?â Mo Yan interrupted Mo Cheng and asked with a frown.
âItâs because of him! Meng Hao! He kept saying that I... saying that I...â Mo Cheng pointed at the boy who had his head lowered at the side, and tears finally rolled down his face.
Seeing that Mo Cheng was choked with sobs and could not speak, Mo Yan walked up to the boy named Meng Hao and asked, âWhat did you say to Mo Cheng?â
The name Meng Hao sounded very familiar to her, but she could not recall it.
Meng Hao, who had his head lowered, raised his head and looked at her briefly. Then, he quickly lowered his head again and did not reply.
This allowed Mo Yan to clearly see Meng Haoâs face. She was momentarily stunned.
She recognized Meng Hao!
Meng Hao was even related to the two of them.
Meng Hao was the son of her stepmother, Meng Xianâs younger sister. Mo Cheng and Meng Hao were cousins.
She did not expect that the Meng familyâs child would also be studying at this school. Moreover, he had even gotten into an argument with Mo Cheng.
Since he was on Meng Xianâs side, it was easy to imagine why he would argue with Mo Cheng.
After understanding this matter, Mo Yanâs face immediately darkened.
Seeing that Meng Hao did not dare to speak out of guilt, Mo Cheng wiped his tears, gritting his teeth, he said, âHe always took the lead in class to say that Iâm an illegitimate child, that my mother is a mistress who ran away with another man, and that Iâm poor. He said that I should not attend this school if I canât afford the tuition fees...â
After sobbing a few times, Mo Cheng said aggrievedly, âI really canât take it anymore. what they said werenât true, thatâs why I defended myself. I didnât do anything wrong, why should I apologize?â
Mo Yan took a deep breath and pulled her aggrieved brother into her arms, stopping the other three boys from watching Mo Cheng cry. At the same time, she said to the form teacher, âTeacher, my brother is indeed not in the wrong. Since they have apologized, letâs forget about this matter.â
