420: Chapter 42 Backing You Up and Making the Decision

When Old Wang returned, his eyes were a little red; he looked like he had just heard some bad news.

"I'm sorry... I have an urgent matter right now and must rush to the hospital."

"How about this, I'll go to the hospital first, and then you wait here for the professional appraisal personnel to come over, and then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yan stood up and said to him, "It's fine. If you have something to attend to, go to the hospital first. We can reschedule."

Old Wang looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect something to suddenly happen at the hospital..."

Shen Yan shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. As long as this matter is completely settled within these two days, that's fine. Then we'll be leaving now."

Old Wang nodded repeatedly, then watched them leave.

It wasn't until they left that Chen Guangke turned to Shen Yan and asked, "It's almost closing time now. Are you still going back to the company?"

Hearing Chen Guangke's question, Shen Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding and replying, "Let's go back. I..."

"Ring ring!"

His phone suddenly rang.

Shen Yan took out his phone and glanced at it, seeing it was an unknown number.

Chen Guangke curiously glanced at Shen Yan's phone screen and asked, "Who is it?"

Shen Yan shook his head and replied, "I don't recognize it."

After saying that, he directly hung up the call.

Because he had been quite popular on the internet recently, some people often called him for no apparent reason.

In the past, he would still answer a few unknown calls, but now he wouldn't pick them up anymore.

He originally thought that after hanging up this call, the other party wouldn't call again, but unexpectedly, the other party was very persistent, dialing his number repeatedly.

Helpless, he finally picked up the call and asked the other party in a serious tone, "Who is this?"

As soon as his voice fell,

a gentle voice came from the phone.

"Hello, may I speak to Youyou's parent?"

... "Youyou!"

As soon as Shen Yan entered the office, he scanned the room with his eyes, searching for his precious daughter.

"Daddy!"

In the corner, his daughter rushed toward him with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Yan felt incredibly heartbroken.

He bent down, picked up his daughter, and asked her, "Are you hurt?"

Youyou shook her head and replied with a face full of grievance, "No."

Shen Yan pushed aside Youyou's bangs, frowned, walked up to the class teacher, and asked, "Teacher, what exactly happened?"

The class teacher sighed and replied to him, "Actually, this isn't a big deal; it was just some roughhousing between the children..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yan interrupted the teacher with a solemn expression.

"They were fighting, and you call that not a big deal?!"

Class teacher: "..."

The problem is that your child was unilaterally beating up another child!

Helplessly, she had to explain the entire sequence of events from the beginning.

Actually, the matter was indeed not complicated.

During recess, another child had been continuously teasing Youyou.

Youyou disliked this kind of teasing, got into an argument with the other child, and finally beat the other child up.

Upon learning that Youyou had not chosen to endure but had directly fought back, Shen Yan was very satisfied. He stroked Youyou's head and said to her, "Well done!"

The class teacher fell silent once more.

Then, she let out a deep sigh.

"Youyou's parent, I completely understand your feelings, but no matter what, what Youyou did was a bit excessive. The other child had a tooth knocked out from being hit by her."

Hearing this, Shen Yan let out a cold laugh.

"Doesn't he deserve it?"

The class teacher wearily pressed her temples.

Although she knew being a kindergarten teacher wasn't an easy job, encountering something like this just a few days after starting made her feel quite overwhelmed.

"Regardless of what happened, they are both just small children. I think... both sides are at fault. How about they just apologize to each other?"

Shen Yan couldn't help but let out another cold laugh.

"Apologize?"

"My child did nothing wrong, why should she apologize to the perpetrator?"

The class teacher instantly felt her headache double in severity.

"The other child was wrong to tease Youyou, but he didn't cause any actual harm to Youyou..."

Before she could finish, Youyou loudly retorted.

"He hurt me! He pulled my pigtails and pulled out several strands of my hair. My scalp hurts terribly!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan's face instantly darkened.

"He actually pulled your hair?!"

Youyou nodded with a wronged expression.

She truly felt extremely wronged.

Originally, she was just drawing at her seat, but that child had a mischievous hand and kept pulling her hair from behind her, constantly talking to her.

"He kept talking to me and kept pulling my hair. I clearly told him to stop pulling my hair, but he just wouldn't listen."

"I couldn't stand it anymore, so I scolded him and gave him a push. I didn't expect him to hit the corner of the table, and I didn't expect his tooth to get knocked out."

Shen Yan dotingly stroked Youyou's cheek.

"It's okay. This isn't your fault. If someone bullies you, you must fight back."

The class teacher beside him started getting a headache.

It's over... I've encountered a parent who unconditionally dotes on their child...

Just as she was contemplating how to de-escalate this situation from a major issue to a minor one, two people barged in aggressively.

"Who bullied my precious son?!"

As her voice fell,

the little boy who had been hiding behind the desk rushed out.

Seeing his parents arrive, the little boy finally couldn't hold back his grievance and rushed toward his parents crying, "Waaah!"

"Daddy! Mommy! Wuwuwu!"

Seeing their son crying so pitifully, the parents felt even more heartbroken.

While comforting him, they aggressively walked toward the class teacher and demanded, "Who bullied our child? Call that child out here!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan slowly spoke up, "It was my child. What about it?"

The mother who spoke sized him up with a suspicious look.

"Your child bullied our child?"

Shen Yan let out a scoff.

"It was clearly your child who bullied my child. My child was merely acting in legitimate self-defense."

The child's mother's eyes widened.

"You're talking nonsense! My child has always been very well-behaved; he would never bully anyone!"

Shen Yan's face turned cold.

"Do you want to hear what the class teacher has to say about it yourself?"

Just as the atmosphere between the two sides became extremely tense, the class teacher stood up and spoke.

"Wait a moment, everyone. I actually think this matter isn't as big as you imagine."

"This way... rather than listening to me, why don't you listen to what Xiaomi has to say?"

As her voice fell,

everyone's gaze fell upon the little boy.
