Meanwhile, Yan Nian had finished dealing with his business and was waiting downstairs.
Seeing Meng Wan holding two children, he immediately opened the back door of the car and waited until all three of them were seated before setting off.
How are things on your end?
"It's not too serious, it just needs to be taken care of."
"It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone or tendon."
Meng Wan nodded. "What was the result of your handling of the matter?"
Upon hearing Meng Wan mention it, Yan Qing chuckled, seemingly speechless.
"The principals of both schools asked Qin Yang and his parents to apologize to Tang Li, and afterwards they would have to go back to the school to receive a public reprimand and punishment. Who knew that he only cared about his own competition results, and when he heard that the competition was going to be canceled, he started making a scene in the office, throwing a tantrum and making a racket that hurt people's ears."
He sounded somewhat aggrieved when he said this.
Meng Wan's lips curled into a smile as she pinched his earlobe. Yan Nian was amused by her little gesture, and his lips also curled up.
"Then what?"
"Qin Huai'an came and said he could pay compensation, but he absolutely could not cancel his grandson's competition results."
Clearly, Qin Yang's ruthless methods are closely related to Qin Huai'an's education of him.
"The old man is better suited to be a fortune teller on the street. His ability to lie through his teeth is far superior to his painting and business skills. So many people saw Qin Yang push someone, and the first thing he said was that there was always an accident in the competition, that his grandson did it by accident, and then he accused Tang Li of framing his precious grandson and disagreed with canceling the results."
Meng Wan was so angry she laughed, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
"But don't worry, the grades have been cancelled, and the apology will be made. The school will continue to follow up on the situation and will call Tang Qi when there is any news, so don't worry."
Yan Nian patted Meng Wan on the head, without explaining the specific process, only briefly stating the result.
How could he possibly allow Meng Wan's family to suffer any injustice? He is someone Meng Wan cherishes.
Recalling Qin Yang's crying and Qin Huai'an's indiscriminate defense of him, Yan Nian felt only disgust. One was taking advantage of his young age to do whatever he wanted, and the other was relying on his age to act arrogantly, even demanding an apology from the victim. It seemed that the Qin family's path had come to an end.
The two chatted casually, while Meng Zhiyao stood behind them, lost in thought.
"Zhiyao".
Zhao Tianqi called out to Meng Zhiyao, but the latter was lost in thought and did not respond. Seeing this, Zhao Tianqi tugged at his sleeve again.
"What's wrong, Apocalypse?"
"Zhiyao, will your parents agree to let you go to Tang Li's house to play?" Clearly, Zhao Tianqi thought that taking care of you meant playing with Tang Li.
"I'm not going to play, I'm going to take care of him." The boy, not quite grown up, told his friend with righteous indignation that he was going to take care of another child.
"Then I'll go with you after class, and I'll have the driver pick me up when it's time. Is that alright?" Zhao Tianqi pouted. Even though it was a trio, he wanted to have a name too.
"Then I'll ask Tang Li for you later. That's his home, he's the owner, you need his permission."
“He definitely won’t agree, I’ll just go there directly.” Zhao Tianqi clearly understood Tang Li’s personality very well.
As they were talking, the car arrived right in front of the Zhao family's house. Meng Wan had already greeted the Zhao couple on the way there, so she wasn't surprised to see Zhao Tianqi return.
The three of them didn't linger and took Meng Zhiyao home again, where they briefly recounted what had happened.
"It's good that he's alright. I'll have your second brother take a look at him again later. Ankle injuries are the most troublesome for children; they can easily leave lasting effects." Qin Yi frowned, looking worried.
"That's what I was thinking too. I'll take him to the doctor after he's rested for a while."
“Isn’t he the only one living alone at home? Why don’t we bring Xiao Li over? We’ve already reserved a room for him at home, so let him stay for a while.”
Tang Li would occasionally stay here on weekends, so the couple specially prepared a room, but unfortunately it was never used because Tang Li always stayed in Meng Zhiyao's room.
The bed was big enough, and the two children got along well, so the couple naturally didn't say anything, but they still kept the room.
“Don’t be fooled by Tang Li’s usual visits. If something really happens, he’ll hide himself. You’re so good to him, so he’s even less likely to come and cause you trouble.” After all, she’s watched the little guy grow up, and Meng Wan understands Tang Li better than she ever thought.
"What trouble? He's still so young, his parents aren't around, and his brother is often away on business trips..." Qin Yi frowned even more.
Tang Li is lively and sweet-talking. He is not only her daughter's beloved younger brother, but he has also helped Yao Yao so much. She has long regarded Tang Li as her own child.
Occasionally, when buying clothes for Meng Zhiyao, he would also remember to buy a set for Tang Li. When making delicious desserts, his first thought was not to invite Zhiyao to eat them, but rather to have Zhiyao call Tang Li and invite him over to try them together.
"To be frank, Tang Li spends far more time at our house than at his own. So why isn't he coming now that something's really happened? What kind of logic is that?"
“I asked Mom,” Meng Zhiyao interjected. “He doesn’t want to come, afraid of troubling you, so I said I’d go take care of him, is that alright?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yi squatted down and patted his head with satisfaction.
"Yaoyao, I'm so happy that you said that, but you're still a child yourself, and there are many things you can't do. Let Xiaoli come to our house, and we'll take care of him together, okay?"
Qin Yi first affirmed Meng Zhiyao's suggestion, and then offered an even better solution.
“But he doesn’t want to come.” Meng Zhiyao puffed out her cheeks, her disappointment visibly evident.
