The two walked out of the Huang Qi Company building side by side, unaware that the entire scene had fallen into Jin Ye's eyes. His gloomy expression was so terrifying it seemed capable of killing.
"General Manager Jin..." Luo Zhu trembled at his expression.
Jin Ye's eyes were so cold they almost froze. He spoke in a deep voice, "Investigate that man. I need to know what their relationship is."
Luo Zhu nodded with difficulty. "Yes."
Meanwhile, as Su Ding and Xue Zhiqiao stepped out, their phones suddenly rang urgently.
"Hello, may I speak to Su Xiaorui's parents?"
"Yes, is there something wrong?" Su Ding asked urgently when she heard it was the kindergarten teacher.
"It's like this, Su Xiaorui had a small conflict with a classmate and scratched the classmate's hand. Are you available to come handle it now? That classmate's parents are already on their way."
"Alright, I'll be right there!"
Su Ding hung up the phone hastily and thought about hailing a taxi.
Seeing this, Xue Zhiqiao didn't mind her ignoring him. He directly pulled her wrist and led her to his car.
Getting into the car, Su Ding gave the address.
Xue Zhiqiao quickly started the engine and drove directly to Su Xiaorui's kindergarten.
The two hurried into the office and heard Su Xiaorui's wailing cries.
Su Ding's heart tightened.
Upon entering, she saw that the other parents had arrived – a couple, who were yelling and scolding Su Xiaorui.
The teacher shielded Xiaorui behind her, constantly trying to placate them, but it couldn't stop the couple's barrage.
The classmate on the other side, seeing this scene, was also crying his eyes out.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very tense.
"Mommy!" Su Xiaorui saw Su Ding and shouted, rushing over to hug her.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mommy's here." Su Ding hugged her child tightly, her heart aching, and looked at the parents.
Xue Zhiqiao had never seen this little girl cry like this before, and his heart immediately ached.
He stepped forward, standing behind Su Ding, and asked with a cold face, "What exactly happened?"
The teacher's eyes brightened for a second upon seeing Xue Zhiqiao, with a flash of confusion, but she quickly explained, "The children had an argument, Xiaorui pushed Xiao Zhuang, and Xiao Zhuang's hand was scratched by a pencil."
"I didn't push him!" Xiaorui immediately shouted at the teacher upon hearing this, then buried her face in her mother's arms, sobbing.
"Then how did my Xiao Zhuang's hand get scratched? Your child lies so young, what will happen when they grow up?" the middle-aged woman pointed at Su Ding and started spewing.
"I believe my daughter. If she says she didn't, then she didn't. How is it related to my daughter that your son got hurt? What kind of child can you raise with your family's excellent tradition of slandering people without investigating the facts?"
Su Ding retorted coldly. She hugged Xiaorui and walked in front of Xiao Zhuang. "Xiao Zhuang, Auntie asks you, did Xiaorui push you or not?"
Perhaps it was her stern expression, or perhaps her gaze was too piercing.
Xiao Zhuang immediately burst into tears, crying so pitifully and tragically, as if he had suffered a great fright.
Xiao Zhuang's parents rushed forward to push Su Ding, and the teacher, who tried to intervene, was pushed aside.
Xue Zhiqiao directly grabbed Xiao Zhuang's father's hand and said coldly, "If you want to lay hands, there are plenty of cameras here! I don't mind calling the police to arrest you!"
Xiao Zhuang's father faltered, stammering, "Let, let go, I didn't touch you!"
Xiao Zhuang's mother also started crying loudly.
"Bullying! Is there anyone in charge? Your child injured my child, and not only did you not apologize, but you want to hit us..."
By this time, Xiaorui had stopped crying.
Seeing Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang's mother wailing, she suddenly felt emboldened and no longer afraid.
Mommy is indeed amazing, and Uncle Zhi Qiao is here too!
"Mommy, Xiao Zhuang has always said I don't have a dad, and he always calls me a bastard. He even writes notes and sticks them on my desk, but I ignored him. Today, he mobilized the other classmates to call me that too!"
Upon hearing the word "bastard," Su Ding's eyes narrowed dangerously.
After having Xiaorui, the thing she hated the most was people gossiping about her daughter.
At the time, she had no choice but to save her mother, and she didn't regret it. But Xiaorui shouldn't have to bear these things.
She looked at Xiao Zhuang's family with an icy expression. "Apologize."
Xiao Zhuang's parents guiltily turned their faces away. "Children's words are careless; what children say doesn't count!"
"Doesn't count?" Su Ding gave a cold laugh. "Xiaorui, scold him back for me!"
