The teacher standing behind him was speechless. She had made it very clear on the phone that it was Yan Xu who bullied Luo Tian, not Luo Tian who bullied his son. Why did he act like he was going to interrogate him?
Young Master Yan seemed not to hear the teacher's call. After carefully checking his son's little hands, legs, and face, he asked with concern, "Baby, are you alright?"
Zizai finally let go of the straw, tilted his little face up at Young Master Yan, and let out a satisfied "burp".
"Daddy, I'm fine!" the little guy replied crisply, his voice full of energy, and indeed, he didn't seem to be in any trouble.
"Then why are you drinking milk?" Young Master Yan remembered clearly that this little guy, like his mother, drank milk before meals. But what time is it? Hasn't he eaten yet?
The little guy blinked his big, dark eyes, glanced behind him, and then said in a small, innocent voice, "Zizai doesn't have any food to eat..."
Young Master Yan is furious!
Yan Shao's precious son didn't even get to eat at school?
She turned around and glared angrily at the teacher behind her.
Why is my son not getting any food?
The teacher was getting a little angry. Could this be the legendary case of the villain accusing the victim first?
It was clearly his son who smeared food all over someone else's face, yet he turned around and asked his son why he had no food to eat?!
However, despite her anger, the teacher took a deep breath and tried her best to appear calm.
“Mr. Yan, didn’t I make it very clear on the phone just now? Yan Xu spilled his own food on Luo Tian’s face. Now, Luo Tian and his parents are checking his injuries at the school clinic.”
Yan Shao either didn't hear clearly or didn't pay attention even if he did. He only cared that the teacher said Yan Xu was in trouble, so he immediately abandoned the board members in the conference room and rushed over.
"Honey, you threw your food on your classmate's face, so you don't get any food?"
If it were just over a month ago when Zizai was brought back, Yan Shao might have actually believed that the little guy would throw food in someone's face for no reason.
But now, knowing his son as he does, he would never do such a terrible thing to a classmate without a reason.
The little one lifted his eyelids and looked at him, his bright eyes glistening with moisture, "Mmm..."
"Why?" Young Master Yan patted the little guy's head and asked patiently and gently, "Can you tell Daddy?"
The little guy just bit his lip and stared at him without saying a word.
"Mr. Yan, Yan Xu's behavior is despicable and has set a very bad example among his classmates. We hope that you can educate Yan Xu properly and apologize to Luo Tian and his parents and provide compensation."
Yan Shao stood up and spoke to the teacher with a formal expression.
“Teacher, if it is my son’s fault, I will apologize and make compensation, but the key question now is, what caused this? I believe my son is not such a bad child; he would not do such a thing to other classmates for no reason.”
Yan Shao doesn't indulge Zai Zai, but he would never blindly believe outsiders and arbitrarily convict Zai Zai without distinguishing right from wrong.
"Mr. Yan..."
The teacher probably felt that Yan Shao was being a bit unreasonable, so she tried to persuade him.
"Alright, let's pull up the surveillance footage and take a look. It'll be clear who's right and who's wrong."
Yan Shao also wanted to know what could have driven Zizai to this state.
He hadn't forgotten that when Zizai first returned to the Yan family, he had played many pranks on him, whom he hated. But those were mostly harmless little pranks that weren't harmful at all.
Strictly speaking, throwing food in someone's face is no longer considered a prank.
The teacher's surname is Hua, and she is a female teacher in her forties. She thought that the matter could be resolved by calling on both sets of parents. If it were reported to the principal or the political education department, she would definitely be criticized.
You should know that every child who can attend school here comes from a wealthy family, and none of them should be offended.
When the principal said he wanted to put Yan Xu in her class, she had a bit of a headache. Was it really okay to put such a young child in her class?
Sure enough, just a few days into the new semester, she's already gotten herself into a huge mess. She's such a worry!
"Mr. Yan, isn't this obvious?" The teacher didn't want to check the surveillance footage at all, because that required the principal's approval!
Yan Shao was too lazy to waste words with her, so he took out his phone and called the principal.
In short, if there is evidence and it is true that Zizai was wrong, besides making the little guy apologize to his classmates, I will inevitably give him another spanking.
But what if the cause of the incident wasn't Vic Zhou?
"Principal Li! Yes, that's me! My son had a little scuffle with his classmate just now... Yes, I'd like to see the security footage so that whoever is responsible will take the blame!"
Teacher Hua was caught in a dilemma, secretly cursing Mr. Yan for being so difficult to deal with, when she heard the voices of a man and a woman and the faint sound of sobbing coming from outside the corridor.
"Let me tell you, we absolutely cannot let this go easily. Whose son has the audacity to slam a vegetable bowl over our precious child's head? Does he have a death wish?"
The woman's voice was extremely high-pitched and sharp, and Yan Shao heard it clearly. He turned his head and glanced at his son.
The little guy remained calm and showed no fear whatsoever.
Yan Shao was basically certain that the other party was in the wrong; otherwise, how could the little guy be so sure?
He must have overheard what the principal said and knew there was surveillance footage that could prove his innocence.
"It's alright, Daddy's here!" Young Master Yan patted his son's head again, turned around, and looked at the couple who had just stepped in.
"Young Master Yan...?"
The man's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but stutter!
The woman beside him glanced at her own man and then at Yan Shao, secretly tugging at his arm. "Who is he?"
Before the man and Teacher Hua could speak, Young Master Yan said calmly, "I am Yan Xu's father!"
In the past, he didn't care about bullying others, but now, he doesn't want Zai Zai to see his overly arrogant and domineering side.
He hoped that in his son's eyes, he could at least be considered a gentle father.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then her gaze swept over Yan Shao and Zizai sitting on the sofa. Her expression changed slightly, and after a short while, she looked down at her son who was still sobbing.
"Is he Yan Xu?"
Yan Shao then followed the woman's gaze to look at the boy beside her. The boy was quite thin and small, with wet hair and a large red patch on his face from his forehead to his cheeks. Presumably, Zizai had dumped food on his head, making his hair dirty. After washing it, the redness on his face was probably from being burned by the food.
"Then he is..."
As Yan Shao sized up the man, the woman seemed to realize something and turned to look at the man beside her. "He...he's Yan Shao?"
