After Lu Feng left, Lin Wanwan turned to look at Lu Ming, who was eating fruit.

"Aren't you going to talk to me, little dumpling?"

Hearing Lin Wanwan address him like that, Lu Ming blushed slightly.

"Mom, I'm not in a relationship."

"Yeah, I guessed it. If you really like a girl or are dating her, then the guy wouldn't just have superficial injuries."

Lu Ming was a little surprised, but also felt it made sense. He scratched his head and looked at Lin Wanwan.

"Mom, is your foundation still funding students?"

"Of course, if there are any students in your school who need help, Mom can help them."

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, looking at Lin Wanwan without saying a word.

Lin Wanwan chuckled softly, tilted her head, and asked him, "Don't you trust your mother?"

“No,” Lu Ming scratched his head, “Her name is Li Qingran. Her family is very poor. Her father passed away a long time ago. Her mother takes care of her and her two siblings. She has excellent grades and a strong sense of self-esteem. I’m afraid she won’t accept help from others.”

"Hmm, let the mother handle this. Tell her why she got into the fight."

"The boy I fought with is Zhou Yang. He's notorious at our school for smoking, drinking, and fighting. His family is supposedly powerful and influential; he's apparently Uncle Zhou's nephew. He was pursuing Li Qingran, but she didn't agree and only wanted to study. As a result, Zhou Yang came to our classroom every day to harass Li Qingran. He also had several other suitors. Today, Zhou Yang came to find Li Qingran again with several people. They started arguing, and Zhou Yang started hitting her. He even tore off Li Qingran's shirt, which is why I hit him."

"What's the school's attitude now?" Lin Wanwan's brows furrowed deeper as she listened.

Lu Ming pursed his lips. "They told Zhou Yang and me to go home and reflect on our actions, but it seems Li Qingran was severely criticized by the school. I heard they're going to expel her."

"Do you know where she lives? You don't have class tomorrow, take your mother to her house."

Don't you go to work?

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll go to work in the morning, and I'll go with you in the afternoon."

Lu Ming nodded. "I'll ask my classmate where she lives tomorrow."

"Okay, then let's go to her house this afternoon."

Lu Ming nodded, looking at Lin Wanwan cautiously.

"Mom, aren't you going to scold me?"

"Why would I scold you? You didn't do anything wrong."

"But my handling of the situation was poor, and Li Qingran was also disciplined. What if she really gets expelled?"

“Why are you thinking so much? You did what you thought was right, and that’s all that matters. Mom knows you were helping her, so you did nothing wrong. Mom also thinks your approach was right. If you had ignored it, then Mom would have to reflect on how she raised such a cold-blooded child.”

Lu Ming couldn't help but smile. "Mom, I'll handle things better in the future."

Lin Wanwan nodded. "Mom believes in you. You've always been a smart child. But Mom also wants you to know that no matter what happens, Mom and Dad will support you. Don't be afraid."

Lu Ming sat down next to Lin Wanwan, rested his head on her shoulder, and sighed.

"Mom, thank you."

"No need to thank me. Mom is actually a bit conflicted sometimes. On the one hand, I hope you grow up to be a strong and upright man, but on the other hand, I hope you don't grow up so fast and can stay a carefree little dumpling."

Lu Ming leaned on her shoulder and smiled, "Mom, I'll be an adult soon, and I can protect you from now on."

Lin Wanwan sighed and patted his back, "I know, you're not a little dumpling anymore, you're a grown-up now."

She turned her head to look at him and asked, "Does your wound hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. Zhou Yang's injuries are more serious than mine. His family will definitely come looking for trouble. Mom, thank you for your hard work."

Do you think your mother would be scared?

"No, Mom is omnipotent in my eyes, and she's the most beautiful person in the world."

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Go to sleep now. You're so sweet-talking. I'll help you win over your dad."

Lu Ming stood up and said with a grin, "Thank you, Mom. I'm going to wash up now."

When Lin Wanwan returned to the room, Lu Feng had already finished washing up and changed into his pajamas, and was sitting on the small sofa in the room reading a book.

Holding Lu Feng's arm, Lin Wanwan whispered, "This time it really wasn't our son's fault. You've misunderstood him."

After listening to Lin Wanwan explain the reason, Lu Feng's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"Although it wasn't his fault, his attitude was also problematic. I questioned him for a long time, and he didn't even get angry. How could I be polite?"

Lin Wanwan kept laughing, "He felt that you had a preconceived notion and immediately said that he had made a mistake, which is why he didn't say anything."

Lu Feng didn't speak, but looked down at her. "Why does he turn into a little lamb the moment he meets you?"

"I don't know, maybe I just look more kind?"

Lu Feng smiled, lowered his head and kissed him, "I'll apologize to him tomorrow."

Lin Wanwan looked up at him in surprise.

"Why are you so surprised? Didn't you say that if we did something wrong, even if we are the parents, we should apologize?"

"Honey, you're very perceptive."

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and continued reading.

"I'm going to wash up. I'll go to Li Qingran's house with my son tomorrow afternoon."

"Call me anytime if you need anything."

"I know. When will it happen? Do you want to ask Zhou Ming? Zhou Yang is his nephew. If the two families have a conflict, don't ruin the harmony."

Lu Feng looked at her and said, "Why are you hurting our relationship? Zhou Yang was in the wrong in this matter. I would have dealt with him even if you hadn't said anything."

Lin Wanwan smiled at him and said, "Then don't say I'm biased anymore, you're biased too."
