Lu Anning leaned against the corner, watching the time slip by. Her phone had no signal, and she couldn't contact the outside world. If she didn't go out, she would miss the school's parent-child day.
She didn't want to sit there and wait for death, so she continued to call for help and try to get in touch with the outside world.
The child would definitely be disappointed if he didn't see me appear.
Lu Anning became anxious and started banging on the door to call for help.
Finally, she heard someone talking outside, but they were just trying to comfort her.
"Ma'am, don't worry. Save your energy. We're already trying to find a solution. The elevator is hanging in mid-air, so it might take time to get you out. Please stay awake and wait for help."
Lu Anning tried his best to stay calm, listening to the noises outside and trying to find a cell phone signal.
Elsewhere, Tang Jingyuan had already reached the school gate, but Lu Anning still hadn't appeared. Tang Rui stretched his neck to look around, saying he didn't care, but his heart was filled with anticipation.
"Let me make a phone call. Maybe there's traffic."
Tang Rui crossed his arms and nodded, his eyes fixed on the direction of the oncoming car.
Tang Jingyuan tried to call Lu Anning, and soon he heard a mechanical customer service voice.
"Sorry! The user you dialed cannot be reached."
Tang Jingyuan frowned. Why couldn't the call be connected at this time?
He tried several more times, but the result was the same. Tang Jingyuan vaguely sensed something was wrong and was about to go in when Tang Rui, with a sullen face, and several classmates walked towards him.
Tang Jingyuan tried to contact Liu Lin, but no one answered this time.
Liu Lin and Xiao Han had already gone into the laboratory, and their cell phones were left in the office, so no sound could be heard at all.
Tang Jingyuan was a little worried. Lu Anning had never been unreachable before. Could something have happened to him?
He checked his location and found that he was still in the laboratory. Tang Jingyuan frowned. Was he still busy with work?
Just as he was thinking about how to explain to Tang Rui, a quarrel broke out at the door. A familiar figure rushed over, pulled the fighting children apart, and protected one of them.
Tang Jingyuan took a closer look and found that it was Bai Lu, and the child she was protecting behind her was Tang Rui.
Tang Jingyuan strode over. At this time, the teacher had already come out.
Tang Rui stood behind Bai Lu with red eyes. There were bruises on his cheekbones from being beaten. The kids opposite him also didn't look too good, with bruises on their faces.
Tang Jingyuan frowned: "What happened?"
Tang Rui roared, "They called me a motherless bastard."
Suddenly, Tang Jingyuan's face turned dark, and his cold eyes swept over the children and fell on their parents.
In an aristocratic school, everyone knows each other. Without waiting for the teacher to explain, several parents rushed forward to apologize. They didn't know before, but now that they don't know Third Master Tang, they can forget about being in the circle.
"Little Third Master! Children are just fighting. You are a great man and don't hold grudges against them. Don't bother with them. I will teach them a lesson when I get home. Hurry up and apologize."
The parents spoke in unison, and several children also stood firm and refused to apologize.
"I'm right, he just doesn't have a mother. We haven't seen Tang Rui's mother in such a long time. He's a liar, and he said his mother would definitely come today, but where is she? He's a wild child!"
One of the little boys was the most stubborn. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was slapped in the face by his father.
"Shut up! Who told you to talk nonsense? Apologize!"
The children were beaten and cried, and they were unwilling to accept the situation and apologized to Tang Rui, but they were all convinced in their hearts that Tang Rui had no mother.
Tang Rui clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.
She had clearly promised not to be late.
She lied!
The teacher quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile, hoping to make the matter go away.
Tang Rui said firmly, "I'm not a wild child! I have a mother. I have a mother."
The classmate was not convinced: "You have a mother, why didn't she come?"
"I……"
Tang Rui couldn't answer, her eyes fixed on the direction of the oncoming car, hoping that she could drop from the sky in the next second and convince these classmates.
But she didn't come.
At this moment, Bai Lu suddenly stood up.
"Who said Xiao Rui doesn't have a mother? I am his mother. If you dare to bully my baby again, don't blame me for being rude to you. If your parents can't teach their children, I can teach them for them."
Bai Lu put her hands on her hips, rolled up her sleeves, and her fierce look immediately made those classmates shut up.
"I don't believe it! You look so young, how could you be Tang Rui's mother?"
"I look younger, and you have a problem with that? Are you jealous that I'm younger than your mother? It's natural."
The children had nothing more to say in rebuttal, and finally they willingly admitted their mistakes and walked into the school dejectedly.
After everyone else left, Bai Lu sighed and turned around. Seeing the father and son looking at her with complicated eyes, she was delighted and stepped forward to hold Tang Rui's hand.
"Madam isn't here, but at least, don't let those classmates look down on Master Xiao Rui today. Master Xiao Rui, I'm young and strong, so I'll help you out later and beat up those pampered old ladies. How about that?"
Tang Rui glanced at her suspiciously: "Can you do it?"
"You'll know in a moment, I'm really fierce."
Bai Lu's innocent and cute look impressed Tang Rui, and he did not refuse Bai Lu's hand holding his hand. Before going in, he took a last look at the door. When he turned around, the last bit of light in his eyes disappeared.
