It was âreassuring that although the kids were angry, they still managed to keep their calm.
âThereâs no need to huddle together, go get lunch now. Ye Jian, Ye Ying, Yao Jing, the three of you follow me.â Teacher Tong who was standing outside spoke with a stern tone. âIf thereâs anything you have to say, say it in the office. Also, Yao Jing, I have already contacted your parents to come. If you feel like you have set up, then you can go ahead and ask your parents: are you the one who has been wronged, or was it Ye Jian!â

When Ye Ying heard her name being called, her body very lightly swayed in place, and her eyelids fluttered in sync.
Insulting a late heroine wasnât just a small deal. Yao Jingâs parents very quickly put down the work in their hands and sat in their own reserved cars, that were assigned to the couple by their respective units, and hurried to school.
Ye Ying was already out of the office, after being criticized by Teacher Tong for a couple of minutes, she was allowed to leave. Even though that happened, her image in the classroom had fallen off hugely after she stood up and added fuel to the fire.
Inside the office, Yao Jingâs parents first started scolding their daughter fiercely, then personally apologized to Ye Jian. They mentioned that they would visit the Cemetery of Heroes and offer Ye Jianâs mother a bouquet as an apology.
They did not mention a single word about Yao Jing getting slapped. Even though Yao Jingâs mother noticed her precious daughterâs mouth and her swollen face, she still didnât mention it.
They didnât dare speak up for their daughter because, inside the office, two people carried the insignia of âtwo stripes and three starsâ. They were colonels who had rushed over to the school specifically from the provincial military area, one of them was a Regimental Commander, the other was a Political Commissar.
The two people sitting in the office were like door gods1, immediately resulting in Yao Jingâs mother, who originally wanted to discuss the events by separating it, to banish the thought.
The two people who had come from the Provincial military area werenât anybody else, one of them was Regimental Commander Liu, the other was Political Commissar Yan.
Principal Cao knew that Yao Jingâs parents were officials with some influence, so he immediately asked Principal Cao if thereâs any military personnel who could come. With just one phone call, he had managed to invite these two persons to come to watch over Ye Jian.
âVice Minister Yao, Ye Jianâs mother, was a war hero of our country, after her sacrifice, she was welcomed back to the country with a national ceremony. The Prime Minister himself personally blanketed her with the national flag, and then flew the flag at half-mast2 to receive the return of the war hero.â
âVice Minister Yao, we will look into this according to the law. If something like this happens again in the future, then we will inform Vice Minister Yao to accomplish the duties of a guardian in the form of a military mail.â
Political Commissar Yan wasnât trying to intimidate him; he would do it!
That speech caused a cold sweat to break on both of Yao Jingâs parentâs backs. The married couple quickly exchanged a glance at each other, and they immediately banished their previous thoughts!
Flying the flag at half-mast to welcome a late heroine back to the country, what exactly was Ye Jianâs motherâs background! Sheâs been dead for so long, yet her honor still lingers for her daughter! Also, even the Prime Minister had personally covered her with a national flag!
âPlease rest assured, the both of you, and we will supervise Yao Jing properly. Things like this will never happen again, and there will be no next time!â Yao Jingâs mother promised with a stern expression, then turned towards Ye Jian and said: âStudent Ye Jian, we will supervise her properly. Would you please forgive her for this?â
Regimental Commander Liu lifted his eyelids and casually said: âThis kidâs heart is always rooted in reality. She has grown up under our watch. Do you want to receive her forgiveness over such a thing? Vice Minister Yao, you and your family, should stop making things difficult for her.â
Do you want little lass Jianâs forgiveness? The fact that she didnât smack all of the teeth of the girl who had spoken rudely was proof she had given them leniency.
After being shown clearly that they would not be forgiven, the complexion on the parents changed slightly. If they are unable to receive her forgiveness, if this affects their daughterâs university exam, then it would be troublesome.
Yao Jing, who had realized she had kicked an iron plate3, under two gazes filled with substantial military might, she walked near Ye Jian without being able to stand with her back straight. She bowed deeply, âYe Jian, Iâm sorry, Iâve been acting too impudently, Iâm sorry.â
