Li Yu snorted coldly, “Buying people’s favor.”

At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the office. Zhao Xueying turned her head to see the discipline master and the principal guiding a young woman into the room.

The woman was decked out in branded attire and carried herself with an air of arrogance.

Upon seeing the woman, Li Yu immediately burst into tears and threw herself at her, “Mother, look at my face. She scratched it. I am disfigured, wu wu wu.”

The woman lovingly wrapped her arms around her daughter and directed a wrathful glare at Ming Chen, “Was it you who scratched my daughter’s face?”

Ming Chen met her gaze without fear, “She attacked me first, I was only defending myself.”

“Mother, she insulted me first,” Li Yu stated, wronged.

Seeing this, the woman’s temper flared even further. She turned to the old man on the side, “Mr. Li, my daughter was so wronged at your school, aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”

The principal shuddered nervously and quickly replied, “Madam Li, please calm down. We acknowledge our school’s negligence in this matter, rest assured, we will give you a satisfactory explanation.”

To Zhao Xueying, the principal said, “Let’s handle this according to school regulations. Expel the involved student.”

Zhao Xueying was taken aback. She quickly spoke up, “Principal, isn’t expulsion a bit too severe for children’s quarrels?”

The woman sneered coldly, maintaining an intimidating gaze at Zhao Xueying, “Is this just a quarrel between children? You’re quite harsh as a class teacher. Look at my daughter’s face. She may become disfigured. If you don’t want to continue your job, there are surely many others who can replace you. I am more afraid of my daughter being led astray by you.”

Zhao Xueying was visibly embarrassed. She had never met such a presumptuous parent before. Seeing the principal remain silent, she understood that Li Yu’s family had considerable influence.

Thinking for a moment, Zhao Xueying said, “Expulsion is a serious matter that affects the student’s future. I’ll invite Ming Chen’s parents over, so we can have a proper discussion.”

The woman took a seat and scoffed, “I’d like to see just how capable the parents of such a malicious girl can be.”

Zhao Xueying quickly found the student’s information, turned to Ming Chen’s page, and was about to make a call when Ming Chen and Ming Ti, one on each side, grabbed hold of her, looking pitiful, “Teacher...”

If Ming Jing knew she had caused trouble at school, she would definitely get mad.

Ming Chen finally understood the gravity of the situation, losing her initial satisfaction. She pulled a long face and furrowed her eyebrows.

Upon seeing Ming Chen’s fear, Li Yu could not help but laugh triumphantly.

Zhao Xueying sighed and reassured them in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. I will do everything within my power to protect you.”

Zhao Xueying dialed the number, which was answered after three rings.

“Ming Jing...” Ming Chen dashed over to hug the newcomer, sobbing with grievance.

Regardless of the verbal abuse she had just received, she had not cried. Seeing their powerful young one crying so pitifully upon the arrival of her family made Li Yu feel insulted. She was, after all, the real victim.

The newcomer seemed to be a young girl. Despite the harsh late autumn, she was wearing a thin white dress, appearing ethereal and beautiful. But it also made people shiver in the cold.

Ming Jing said in an indifferent tone, “Stop crying.”

Ming Chen immediately ceased her sobbing, her whimpering quieted.

Ming Jing looked up at Jessica Feng. Jessica shivered upon meeting those cool, mesmerizing eyes. She realized her hand was still suspended in mid-air and hastily withdrew it.

“Are you her parent?” She spoke, her voice filled with disbelief.

“She’s too young. Call the one in charge of your household.”

Ming Jing gave a faint smile, “I am.”

Zhao Xueying knitted her eyebrows and looked at Ming Jing with doubting eyes.

“Who are you to her?”

“Her sister.”

Ming Chen tugged at Ming Jing’s sleeve secretly, “Ming Jing, I...”

Ming Jing ran her hand through Ming Chen’s hair, “Don’t be afraid.”

Ming Chen’s anxious heart calmed down with the emotionless words from Ming Jing.

Jessica Feng sneered coldly, pulled Li Yu close, and pointed at her face, “See my daughter’s face? Your sister scratched it. I insist your sister be expelled for her malicious behavior at such a young age. The principal already agreed.”

The principal stood nearby and looked a little embarrassed upon hearing her words.

“Considering the severity of this student’s behavior creating a negative impact within the school, we suggest Ming Chen should voluntarily apply for a leave of absence,” he suggested, offering both sides a way out. After all, schools are places to teach and nurture students, not to oppress them.

Jessica Feng glanced at the principal, “Mr. Principal, you did not say that just now.”

The principal looked a little embarrassed, “Well... Madam Li, considering the children’s futures, let’s not be too harsh.”

“I think this principal does not want to keep his job,” she replied.

The principal, hiding his rage, had no choice but to say with regret, “My apologies to the parent here...”
