Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Please Apologize to Bao Bei!
Song Song was really scared and immediately ran out of the office. Lin Man said behind her, "I don’t know when he went missing; maybe he ran out very early. That little devil is too smart; even adults are not as shrewd as him."
Recently, Bao Bei had been quite well-behaved, and he had promised her before that he wouldn’t wander off anymore. How could he suddenly disappear?
The two of them searched all around the school but didn’t see Bao Bei anywhere. Song Song was sweating profusely and turned to see Lin Man was just like her, and she worriedly said, "Lin Man, go back and rest; you are pregnant and shouldn’t be too tired."
"I think Bao Bei must not be in the school anymore. He has probably sneaked out the school gate. I’ll go check outside. If we still can’t find him, we’ll have to call the police..."
Lin Man wrung her hands, "I’m sorry! It’s all my responsibility; I didn’t look after the child."
"It’s not your fault. You’re pregnant, and your energy is surely limited. It’s okay... Bao Bei is clever, even if he meets bad people, he’ll be fine. You should go back to the office to rest, and I’ll look outside again."
Song Song knew that after pregnancy, people feel especially tired and occasionally get sleepy. First-grade kids are the most troublesome, so occasionally neglecting them is normal.
Besides, a child like Bao Bei is different from ordinary kids. If he really sneaks out, he has ways, unless he is monitored 24/7.
Lin Man nodded, "Thank you."
To reassure her, Song Song smiled and said, "It’s okay."
Then Song Song ran out of the school gate, stood outside, looked at the empty road and lush greenery, and suddenly felt extremely anxious...
She searched around but still didn’t see any sign of Bao Bei. She was about to take out her phone to call Xiao Jinghuai when she saw a little figure with its head down standing across the road, looking pitiful and desolate.
Song Song looked around for cars and seeing none, she quickly ran over, "Bao Bei, why did you run out?"
Xiao Beibei looked up a bit dazed, and seeing Song Song had no reaction, he lowered his head again and continued to walk forward.
Song Song had never seen the little guy so dispirited. Her worry increased, "Bao Bei, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well or is it..."
Saying this, Song Song wanted to hug him but the little guy pushed her away with a wave of his hand, his head still hanging down. His little shoulders trembled as if he was crying.
"You’re all liars. My dad is a liar, and you’re a liar too. I’ll never trust you all again. Go away, go away, just go away!"
"..."
"Bao Bei, what’s actually going on with you?"
Song Song was a bit scared because she had never seen Bao Bei this sad before; she had never seen him like this. He was always a little troublemaker who feared nothing.
"Are you his teacher?"
A strange and cold female voice suddenly came from behind!
Song Song turned around in confusion, only to see an elegant lady wearing a navy blue cheongsam standing there, with a middle-aged servant behind her.
"May I ask, who are you...?"
Duanmu Qing’s sharp gaze roved over Song Song, then she smirked, "No wonder this wild child is so unruly; turns out his teacher is like this, foolish and dumb. I really can’t understand what Jing Huai was thinking, actually allowing the child to attend such a rural school!"
Song Song clearly heard the name "Jing Huai". Was she talking about Xiao Jinghuai?
"Madam, we should return; the environment here is too poor and would affect your delicate skin..."
Duanmu Qing thought for a moment and agreed. Anyway, the purpose of today’s visit was already achieved. She turned, "Let’s go! Staying here even a second longer makes me feel suffocated."
Song Song suddenly realized Bao Bei might be acting this way because someone said something to him. She hurriedly ran over to stop them, "Please wait! I don’t care what your relationship with Bao Bei is, but I ask you to apologize to him now!"
