"Miss Lu, are you only listening to half of what I said? My son just told me that your nephew pushed my daughter to the ground first, and then he punched her.
If there's blame, it's on your side first, so you can't blame others." Shen Xi straightened up, her eyes cold as she looked at her, her entire demeanor exuding a powerful aura.
Lu Yushan's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was unsure how to respond, Lu Junqi, who was standing behind her, suddenly said, "Auntie, it was Shen Ziyan who smeared paint on me first, that's why I pushed her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yushan immediately felt more confident and said haughtily, "Dr. Shen, it seems your child was in the wrong first, so you must apologize."
"That's not necessarily true," Shen Xi replied dismissively. She crouched down and looked at Yan Yan, asking gently, "Yan Yan, tell Mommy, why did you smear paint on Lu Junqi?"
"I... I..." Yan Yan looked at her with slightly reddened eyes, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
Shen Xi reached out and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her face filled with concern. "Yan Yan, Auntie knows you must have had a reason for doing that. Only if you tell us the truth can we find out who made the first mistake."
"Lu Junqi... Lu Junqi said that because we have Mommy's surname, we don't have a daddy, and we're unwanted bastards." Yan Yan's crystal-clear tears welled up in her eyes.
At this moment, Chen Chen and Shuo Shuo also walked forward and tugged at Shen Xi's arm, saying, "Mommy, Lu Junqi has said this more than once."
Shen Xi looked at them with a complex expression, then stood up and glared fiercely at Lu Junqi, "Did you really say such things? Do you know that speaking like that is an insult to others?"
Taking a step back involuntarily, Lu Junqi immediately hid behind his aunt, peeking out slightly, and whispered, "I was telling the truth, they themselves admitted they don't have a daddy."
"But you still can't talk to them like that!" Shen Xi glared at him, her eyes turning scarlet.
Lu Junqi, terrified, quickly withdrew his head behind Lu Yushan, not daring to say another word.
Protecting him with her arm, Lu Yushan felt a surge of satisfaction and looked dismissively at Shen Xi, "Dr. Shen, children are still young. Their bickering is just careless talk; it's all minor matters. Why take it so seriously?"
"You think it's a minor matter, but in our hearts, it's an inviolable bottom line. Miss Lu, do you also agree with your nephew's statement?" Shen Xi placed her hand on her bag, glaring at her in anger.
Seeing this, Lu Yushan's heart trembled. She suddenly recalled the needle prick she had given her at the hotel, and still felt lingering fear. She quickly explained, "No, I didn't mean it that way."
At this moment, Teacher Wang suddenly intervened, "Ms. Shen, since the matter is now clear, it was just a small friction caused by children's arguments.
Junqi pushed Ziyan, and Zichen punched him back, so it's even. I think this matter can be dropped."
"Teacher Wang, you are clearly biased. You forced my child to apologize without investigating the cause of the incident first.
Now that the matter is clear and Lu Junqi was in the wrong first, you want to just let it go.
This is clearly differential treatment. Are you being so biased towards them because the Lu family has given you some benefits?
This matter absolutely cannot be dropped like this. Lu Junqi must apologize to my children!"
Hearing this, Lu Yushan immediately jumped out and said, "Shen Xi, don't be so aggressive..."
At this moment, five or six people appeared at the end of the corridor, talking in low voices as they walked.
"Daddy." Chen Chen suddenly shouted and ran quickly towards the group.
Everyone was startled and looked up. They saw Qin Si Ye, along with Director Chen and their entourage, striding towards them.
Shuo Shuo and Yan Yan also ran towards Qin Si Ye, "Daddy."
Shen Xi's heart pounded nervously. She wanted to stop them, but it was too late. She could only watch as these three children rushed into Qin Si Ye's arms.
Qin Si Ye frowned slightly. He hadn't expected to see them here, and a mixture of surprise and joy washed over him.
He bent down and caught them, asking softly, "What are you guys doing?"
