Faced with Fu Qing and Wu Junyi's questioning, Mo Youyou was instantly dumbfounded.
She initially thought the other party had ill intentions—
Of course, they came with ill intentions, but if what they said is true, then it's not that they're looking for trouble, but rather that Liu Shengrui is in the wrong.
"What...what's going on?" Mo Youyou looked at Yan Shiling with a bewildered and flustered expression, her eyes pleading for help. "Teacher Yan, what exactly is happening?"
Yan Shiling sighed inwardly. From the moment this happened, she knew she couldn't avoid this situation.
“Xiao Rui’s mom, what happened today was indeed Xiao Rui’s fault. Today we had outdoor class, and the plan was for the whole class to play the game of Eagle Catches Chicks, but during the game…”
Therefore, Yan Shiling had to recount the events and their development once again.
Deep down, Mo Youyou didn't want to believe or accept this fact, but she knew very well that Teacher Yan would never lie about such a thing.
Furthermore, the injuries on Yu Jiahe and Lu Xinyi's bodies are the strongest evidence.
Mo Youyou knew perfectly well whether her own son would push someone.
It was only because Liu Shengrui had behaved quite well during this period that Mo Youyou had hope and the illusion that Liu Shengrui had really grown up and changed, and would no longer hit other children like before.
Now, it is time to wake up from the dream.
"I'm sorry!" After understanding the situation, Mo Youyou lowered her guard.
"Jiahe's mom, Xinyi's mom, I'm so sorry!" Mo Youyou apologized repeatedly, then suddenly remembered something.
Jiahe? Yu Jiahe?
Why does this name sound so familiar?
Oh right, Xiao Rui told her earlier that he has good friends in kindergarten, and one of his good friends is named Jiahe, isn't he?
"Xiao Rui is quite young and has only been in kindergarten for a short time. It was his first time playing 'Eagle Catches Chicks' with so many other children. He must have been very excited and eager to play with everyone. He probably didn't quite understand the rules, which is why he accidentally pushed another child in his haste. He definitely didn't mean to!"
“The other day, Xiao Rui told me that he made a good friend at kindergarten. I remember he mentioned Jiahe's name. Our Xiao Rui really likes Jiahe and enjoys being friends with him.”
Mo Youyou's original intention was to get closer to Liu Shengrui and cover up his rude and impolite behavior by giving him an excited excuse.
But Fu Qing didn't buy into that at all.
When Mo Youyou mentioned that Liu Shengrui considered Yu Jiahe a good friend, she immediately refuted it.
“Good friend? Then my son really wouldn’t dare to be friends with your son. What kind of good friend would be so violent, pushing people at the drop of a hat? Jiahe can’t possibly be associated with such a person!” Fu Qing said.
These were very impolite words, but Mo Youyou couldn't argue with them; she was in the wrong anyway.
“Jiahe’s mom, this really was just an accident! Xiao Rui absolutely didn’t mean any harm. It was the first time he’d met so many children and made friends with everyone. Please forgive his unreasonable behavior.” Not wanting to neglect Wu Junyi, Mo Youyou looked at her again, “Xinyi’s mom, I’m really sorry. I know little girls are delicate. I hope Xiaoyi won’t have any scars. If she does have any scars, I’ll definitely find her some scar removal cream. Don’t worry!”
Mo Youyou lowered her stance and took the initiative to apologize. Her attitude seemed quite sincere. With her taking this stance first, Fu Qing and Wu Junyi could no longer press the matter.
After all, Yu Jiahe and Lu Xinyi's injuries weren't serious, and Liu Shengrui was just a child. Even if they were petty, they wouldn't push Liu Shengrui.
“After all, it was your son’s fault. I heard from Teacher Yan that she hasn’t apologized to Jiahe yet. She should apologize now!” Fu Qing said unhappily.
“That’s right. Even though they’re just kids, they should still take responsibility for their mistakes. Xinyi isn’t a petty girl, but she should still be given basic respect,” Wu Junyi said.
"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, that's what I think too!" Seeing that Fu Qing and Wu Junyi's attitudes had softened, Mo Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it doesn't escalate!
“Xiao Rui,” Mo Youyou pulled her son to her side, held his shoulders, and said patiently, “You pushed Jiahe and Xinyi today, and they both got hurt. Look, their palms and knees are covered in medicine, and they must be in a lot of pain. Shouldn’t you apologize to them?”
Liu Shengrui looked up at Mo Youyou, his face clearly showing that he didn't understand what was going on.
“Apologize!” Mo Youyou said again.
Liu Shengrui still didn't quite understand. He looked at Yu Jiahe and then at Lu Xinyi. He remembered that he was the one who pushed them down.
“Xiao Rui, you, Jiahe, and Xinyi are classmates, you should be good friends. You can’t hit your good friends, understand? Quickly apologize to them,” Mo Youyou said.
She was getting a little anxious because Liu Shengrui hadn't reacted at all. She was afraid that her son's attitude would make Fu Qing and Wu Junyi, who were already getting over their anger, angry again and cause things to escalate.
"I'm sorry." Liu Shengrui finally spoke, but he still looked bewildered, as if he had no idea what he was doing.
It was kindergarten dismissal time, and besides Fu Qing and Wu Junyi, there were many other parents of other children there who happened to witness the whole thing.
The other parents found it strange to see Liu Shengrui like this.
Liu Shengrui's reaction was really not what a child his age should have.
Some children are particularly stubborn and refuse to admit their mistakes even when they have done something wrong. Other children are timid and will cry when their parents and teachers find out about conflicts with their classmates. These two are the more common reactions.
Liu Shengrui doesn't belong to any of these categories. He doesn't seem stubborn or timid; he seems more like someone who's oblivious to the situation.
"Alright."
Fu Qing and Wu Junyi eventually accepted the apology and stopped making a fuss about it. After all, Liu Shengrui was just a child, and Mo Youyou's attitude was acceptable.
"What about the medical expenses?" Wu Junyi asked.
Although the treatment was handled by the kindergarten's medical room, both children still needed to have their dressings changed a second time, and their wounds needed to be monitored, which ultimately cost money.
"I'll definitely pay for the medical expenses. I'm so sorry to have troubled you all," Mo Youyou said. She didn't care about the money; anything that could be solved with money was a small matter.
Thus, the controversy surrounding Liu Shengrui's pushing incident was resolved peacefully.
"Xiao Rui's mom, I want to talk to you about something." Yan Shiling called Mo Youyou aside and told her about her unsuccessful attempt to communicate with Liu Shengrui earlier that day.
