157. Father and son are close.

Xie Ziyu made a face at him, "My mommy is so thin and beautiful now, hee hee hee."

"I don't believe it. Your mommy must be too fat to be seen by anyone, that's why she doesn't come to pick you up from school." The little boy said smugly, as if he had finally caught someone red-handed.

Xie Ziyu disliked this classmate. He swung his backpack, but the little boy grabbed the elephant trunk on it.

“I know you’re just envious of me, after all, my mommy often picks me up from school, while your mommy never does.”

When Xie Ziyu celebrated his birthday earlier this year, Xie Yaoyao bought dozens of small cakes and sent them to the kindergarten so that he could celebrate his birthday with his friends.

Ever since that day, the little boy behind him has been targeting him.

"Does your mommy not love you? That's why she won't pick you up from school?" Xie Ziyu asked.

The little boy's face turned red with anger. "You're talking nonsense! How could my mommy not love me?"

Xie Ziyu tilted his head. "Really? Then why doesn't she come to pick you up from school?"

He threw back what the little boy had just said, and the little boy's cheeks turned bright red.

He angrily grabbed the elephant's trunk and said, "It's none of your business, hmph!"

After saying that, he pulled hard.

Xie Ziyu was a chubby little boy with a stable base. The little boy tried to pull him but couldn't, and instead fell to the ground himself.

His elbow scraped against the ground, drawing blood. As soon as he saw the beads of blood seeping out, he burst into tears.

His crying alerted the teacher leading the group, who quickly came over and helped him up.

"What happened?"

The little boy complained, "Teacher, Xie Ziyu pushed me and hurt my hand. I want him to pay me back."

Xie Ziyu pursed his lips. "Teacher, I didn't."

"You pushed me! All the classmates saw it!" The little boy cried louder and louder.

It's like how the louder the voice, the more justified it is now.

The teacher looked at Xie Ziyu, then at the little boy. Parents were waiting outside to pick up their children.

She quickly asked the teaching assistant to take the two children aside, while she handed the other children over to their parents.

Huo Yanxi stood out like a crane among chickens when a group of elderly people came to pick up their children.

While he was queuing, quite a few people looked at him.

Because of his cold aura, no one dared to approach him and strike up a conversation.

After everyone had picked up their children, Huo Yanxi didn't see Xie Ziyu.

The teaching assistant asked, "Who are Xie Ziyu and Wang An'an's parents?"

Huo Yanxi stepped forward and said, "Yes, that's me."

The teaching assistant looked up at him and her first impression was that he was very tall, and her second impression was that he was very handsome.

She seemed to have seen him somewhere before, but couldn't quite place him. "Which child's parent are you?"

“I am Xie Ziyu’s father.”

The teaching assistant was taken aback. Xie Ziyu had been attending the affiliated kindergarten of St. Paul for the past two years, and they had only seen his mother, not his father.

I never expected his dad to be so handsome.

"Hello, I am Ziyu's teacher. Here's what happened: when we were lining up to leave, Ziyu pushed another child, and that child got a little hurt. We need to apologize to that child and his/her parents."

Huo Yanxi narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure it was really my child who pushed the other child down?"

He had a very strong presence, and the teaching assistant stammered, "I...I...that child is injured."

Huo Yanxi said coldly, "My child is well-behaved and obedient, and would not hurt other children casually. As a teacher, I hope you will find out the whole story and not jump to conclusions and wrong my child."

His words were so powerful that the teaching assistant didn't even dare to refute them.

“Mr. Xie, please come with me,” the teaching assistant said.

Huo Yanxi pursed his thin lips slightly, "My surname is not Xie, it's Huo. My child takes his mother's surname."

Teaching assistant: "..."

This was the first time she had seen a child take the mother's surname, and the husband was so proud of it.

The housekeeper came to pick up Wang An'an from his home, and the two followed the teaching assistant to the office.

When Xie Ziyu saw Huo Yanxi walk in, he kicked the floor tiles and refused to speak.

Huo Yanxi walked to his side and said, "Why do you look so wilted, like a frostbitten eggplant?"

Xie Ziyu kicked the floor tiles again, "I didn't push him."

"Yes, I believe you," Huo Yanxi said.

Xie Ziyu suddenly raised his head, looking at Huo Yanxi in disbelief, "You really believe me?"

Huo Yanxi: "Of course, you're my son. If I don't trust you, why would I trust an outsider?"

The teacher, overhearing their conversation, was exasperated. "Mr. Huo, is it true that Ziyu pushed Wang An'an down?"

Huo Yanxi succinctly stated: "Evidence."

The teacher's face turned slightly pale. She felt that such a small matter could be resolved simply by the parents apologizing to their child. It wasn't a big deal, so why was evidence required?

She wanted to smooth things over, resolve the issue quickly, and send the children off so she could go home.

“Ziyu’s father, I understand that you can’t accept your child bullying classmates at school, but they didn’t mean any harm, it’s just…”

“Evidence,” Huo Yanxi interrupted her. “It’s not always the other party’s fault that someone is injured.”

"Instead of wasting your time lecturing here, you should produce evidence. If it was my child who pushed him, I will take him to apologize to the other child. If it wasn't him, I will not allow anyone to falsely accuse him."

Huo Yanxi's imposing presence, befitting a superior, rendered the teacher speechless.

She originally wanted to resolve the matter quickly, but now she had no choice but to go and find the evidence that Huo Yanxi wanted.

But the children who witnessed the incident have all left, so where is she supposed to find evidence?

The teacher was a little annoyed, "Ziyu's father..."

"The kindergarten should have installed surveillance cameras. You can pull up the footage from when school is dismissed," Huo Yanxi suggested.

The teacher gave the teaching assistant a wink, and the teaching assistant knew that the man in front of him was very assertive. Judging from the watch he was wearing, it was a Jaeger-LeCoultre limited edition.

This person is either rich or powerful, and doesn't look like someone to be trifled with.

The teaching assistant quickly went to the monitoring room to check the surveillance footage, and soon found the surveillance camera at the school gate and saw the video.

Xie Ziyu did not push Wang An'an; Wang An'an lost her balance and fell down on her own.

After watching the video, the teacher blushed and apologized to Huo Yanxi and Xie Ziyu.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, Ziyu. I didn't understand the truth and wronged you. I apologize."

Xie Ziyu hid behind Huo Yanxi, embarrassed. "Teacher, I forgive you."

The teacher gave Huo Yanxi an apologetic smile, then turned serious when facing Wang An'an.

"Wang An'an, the teacher has to give you a serious reprimand. You can't falsely accuse your classmate of pushing you next time."

Wang An'an burst into tears.

The butler who came to pick him up tried to coax him for a while, not daring to offend Huo Yanxi, "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, we've spoiled this child. I promise this won't happen again."

Huo Yanxi said, "You shouldn't apologize to me, you should apologize to my son."

The housekeeper had no choice but to apologize to Xie Ziyu again. Xie Ziyu said, "I didn't take it to heart, Dad. I'm hungry, let's go home quickly."

Hearing "Dad" was like hearing heavenly music to Huo Yanxi. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go home."
