Chapter 115 - Sister-In-Law Is Here

Ji Mo’s results were outstanding, and he was usually a loner. He rarely caused trouble and did not have much of a presence. However, he was unexpectedly stubborn and did not say a word despite the bruises on his face.

The form teacher had a headache. It was not that she did not know about the matter between the two students. The incident back then was so big that even the school could not interfere. As a form teacher, she could not say anything. Fortunately, Liu Che did provoke Ji Mo, but he didn’t do anything too overboard. The teachers just let him be.

Later on, when she found out that Ji Mo’s family was wealthy, the form teacher also privately suggested that Ji Mo transfer to another school, but…

The form teacher sighed and said to the two of them, “Call your parents over. I’ll deduct your merit points, and you two have to write me a review,” After the form teacher finished speaking, she got up and poured some water for Ji Mo and Liu Che. Then, she went to the infirmary to borrow the first aid kit.

In the office, Liu Che nonchalantly dialed his mother’s number. His mother was there listening to what had happened. A loud laughter came through the microphone, “Son, you did well. I am proud that you stood up for me! Don’t worry. I will pick you up now. Let’s go and dine in your favorite restaurant tonight. I’ll buy you the pair of sneakers you want the most.”

The form teacher who came back with the first aid kit was speechless.

What kind of a parent was that? It was bizarre… The form teacher was speechless. She looked at Ji Mo, who sat at one corner, and asked, “Why haven’t you called your parents?”

“That b*tc… his mother would never care about him,” Liu Che laughed at Ji Mo’s misfortune, “he’s like an orphan. Teacher, he can’t call his parents. Why don’t we forget about it and settle it here?”

“Liu Che!”

These words were too unpleasant to hear. The form teacher frowned and reprimanded, “You two are classmates. How can you talk like that? Is this how I usually teach you?”

“I’m not like this with other classmates,” Liu Che pursed his lips. “What kind of classmate is he. Bah!”

He was already 18 years old and graduating from high school soon. There was a limit to what a teacher could do. The form teacher sighed helplessly, unable to reason with Liu Che. She could only look at the youth sitting on the other side in a daze. “Ji…” She was just about to say that it was alright not to call his parents. However, she saw Ji Mo holding his phone. His eyelashes fluttered twice. As if he had made up his mind, he quickly made a call.

“Sister-in-law.”

The usually quiet, cold, and distant youth’s voice was calm. However, the form teacher could hear the faint grievance in Li Mo’s voice. Ji Mo lowered his head and used his fingertips to hook the school uniform pants that had accidentally torn during the fight. He said in a low voice, “Are you free now? Our teacher wants my guardian to come to the school… If you’re not free… Okay, thank you, sister-in-law.”

After saying that, he put away his phone and looked up at the form teacher. “My sister-in-law said that she’ll be here soon.”

S

e soon.

The form teacher didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the young man who was feeling low and depressed just a moment ago seemed cheerful suddenly. There was a smile on that young man’s face. Ji Mo couldn’t help but look at Liu Che with pride and show off, as if saying, “Look, I have a guardian.” Liu Che was baffled and couldn’t help but a curse, “Are you crazy? Why are you still so happy that the teacher wants to meet your parents?”

Ji Mo pursed his lips. When the form teacher saw his little actions, she found it funny but also helpless. That was the first time she had seen this gloomy, lonely, and brilliant student reveal a childish side.

The form teacher placed the first aid kit on the table. “Come on, let’s treat your wounds. We will talk about it when your parents are here.”

When Shen Hanxing arrived, the two children had already treated their wounds. Liu Che’s house was close by, and Liu Che’s mother was pulling her precious son and saying something with a bright smile on her face. Liu Che’s mother was pleased with her son standing up for her.

Ji Mo sat beside the form teacher with his head lowered in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking, but the messy little curly hair on his head had drooped down, making him look especially pitiful.

Shen Hanxing noticed his bruised eyes and took a few quick steps forward. “What happened?” After saying that, she pulled Ji Mo up and looked at him with concern. “Did you get into a fight? Did you win? Did you get hurt? Are you alright?”

Ji Mo did not expect Shen Hanxing to not only not question him the moment she entered the room, but instead, she was concerned about him. Ji Mo did not have much reaction when Liu Che beat him up. But because of Shen Hanxing, he felt like crying. To cover up his pathetic state, Ji Mo hurriedly lowered his head. He blinked his eyes hard to hold back the tears that had rolled down his cheeks unexpectedly. “Sister-in-law, I’m fine.”
