"Little Yuzu, I..."
Bai Ruogu looked troubled, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Enough!" Huo Junyu took a step forward, suppressing his anger. "Bai Ruogu, we grew up together. Even if we weren't like brothers, I've always considered you a friend! I never expected you to be this kind of person!"
“Yes!” Jiang Mianmian glared at him angrily. “Since you already had someone you liked, why did you have to get involved with Song Wan? What did she do wrong!”
"Stop talking!" Bai Ruogu growled. "We're here today to solve the children's problems, not mine!"
"you……"
"Principal, parents," Bai Ruogu stepped forward, bowing slightly, "My son did something wrong, and as his father, I will definitely take responsibility! Don't worry, I won't shirk my responsibility. I will have my lawyer discuss compensation. But I won't let this matter rest until my son was beaten!"
"What did you say?" Even the usually composed Huo Junyu couldn't control himself. "Bai Ruogu, have you lost your mind?!"
"Huo Junyu!" Bai Ruogu emphasized, staring intently at him. "My son was misbehaving at kindergarten, but it's also true that your daughter beat him black and blue! I can understand children playing around without restraint, but adults can't be without restraint. So, I won't renege on what I owe in compensation, but you should also take responsibility for what you owe in compensation!"
"you……"
Huo Junyu felt as if a huge rock was lodged in his chest.
Is this guy possessed? Is this Uncle Bai's son, Bai Zhijin's brother?
That's outrageous!
Lin Zhaojiang slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. He walked a few steps to Bai Ruogu, his fists clenched tightly at his sides, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.
"Uncle!" Huo Junyu stopped him and shook his head at him.
Lin Zhaojiang took a few deep breaths, and reason eventually prevailed over the anger in his heart. He slowly loosened his clenched fist.
"Alright, let's settle this like this." Bai Ruogu picked up James. "The kindergarten has CCTV footage. It clearly shows what my son did and how he was beaten. I suggest leaving the rest to a lawyer!"
The other parents were dumbfounded.
Even the headmaster was stunned.
Sophia proudly linked arms with Bai Ruogu, and they walked out like a family of three. However, as soon as they reached the kindergarten gate, Bai Ruogu saw a slender and familiar figure outside the gate.
He stopped and stared at her blankly.
Sophia, standing to the side, tightened her grip on his arm again, as if she had won.
Lin Zhaojiang chased after them and, seeing this scene, wanted to go forward and take Song Wan away, but it seemed that it was already too late.
Song Wan slowly walked towards Bai Ruogu, her slightly sorrowful eyes revealing that she already knew everything.
Bai Ruogu handed the child to Sophia, letting the mother and child leave first, while he stayed behind.
"Song Wan, I..."
"There's nothing more to say," Song Wan said softly. She suddenly recalled many scenes from TV dramas—when a fiancé discovers her fiancé's infidelity, the moment they confront each other, the fiancée gracefully takes off her ring and throws it to the man.
However, when she looked down, her fingers were empty. She then realized that after dating for so long, she only had the title of Bai Ruogu's fiancée; Bai Ruogu had never given her any token of their relationship.
Song Wan smiled wryly. This was for the best, saving her from future troubles.
“I understand now.” She looked up at him. “I finally understand why she told me she was Mrs. Bai as soon as she entered the kindergarten, why her son could be so arrogant in the kindergarten, and why she was still so rude and unresponsive when I tried to talk to her… Ha, it turns out that a woman can be arrogant because she has a man backing her up.”
Bai Ruogu lowered his head, feeling a complex mix of emotions.
"I'm sorry, Song Wan, I... I didn't want to hurt you."
“You can’t hurt me.” Song Wan looked into his eyes. “Because I only realized today that my feelings for you aren’t that deep.”
Bai Ruogu was startled and suddenly raised his head.
"There's just one thing I don't understand," Song Wan said softly, "Since you already have someone you love, why are you dating me?"
Bai Ruogu's throat tightened. He licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Because you were introduced by Aunt Yuqing, my parents are quite satisfied with you... Also, you are beautiful, have no background, and are easy to control... Even if I have other women after we get married, you won't do anything to me, and your family will certainly not do anything to me."
A look of disbelief and shock flashed across Song Wan's eyes.
So the reason he wanted to marry her was because she was easy to bully and had no family backing her up?
Indeed, if it were a family of equal social standing, or a wealthy heiress like Jiang Mianmian or Bai Zhijin, how could they tolerate such humiliation? Not only would they be unable to swallow this insult, but their powerful maternal families would have already stepped in to punish their sons-in-law!
After her initial shock, Song Wan suddenly burst out laughing.
Bai Ruogu's expression changed; this was different from what he had expected... He thought that Song Wan would have an emotional breakdown and might even slap him a few times, but she didn't.
Song Wan didn't cry or make a fuss; she remained completely calm, which made him uneasy.
"Song Wan, if you're really angry, just hit me a few times... Come on, hit me! I'm sorry, I'm the one who played the bad guy, hit me!"
As he spoke, he tried to take Song Wan's hand, but Song Wan suddenly shook him off, glanced at him again, and silently turned and left.
At that moment, she felt a sense of relief, as if she had been waiting for this result for so long.
