Chapter 312 You Won’t Stand on His Side
Huang Ling looked at Zhou Huaiyi, and Zhuang Chaoying couldn't help but follow her gaze.
Zhou Huaiyi was bending over to apply medicine to Xiaoting's elbow. After applying the medicine, he saw Xiaoting frowning, so he used his hand to fan her and coax her with a look of concern. Then he said something that made Xiaoting laugh.
If they didn't tell anyone, everyone would think they were father and daughter.
For five whole years, he spoiled her like this, never said a harsh word to her, and granted her every request without making any demands on her, allowing her to grow freely and wantonly.
As for Zhuang Chaoying, he insisted on seeing Xiaoting once a month in the first few months after the divorce. Huang Ling agreed considering Xiaoting's mental health.
Later, Zhuang Chaoying gradually visited Xiaoting less and less frequently. In the past two years, he saw her less than twice a year.
But Xiaoting has enough fatherly love, so it doesn’t matter whether she sees her biological father or not.
After getting the medicine, everyone went home.
Zhuang Chaoying remained silent along the way and was a little confused.
He couldn't accept that Xiaoting was no longer Zhuang Xiaoting but Huang Xiaoting, but he had no choice.
Pengfei saw that he was silent and thought he was very angry, so he explained: "Uncle, this time you really don't blame us."
Zhuang Chaoying came back to his senses after hearing Pengfei's words and sighed:
"You must stop fighting. What if the school expel you for fighting and you can't continue your studies?"
Pengfei paused.
"Now you feel scared," Zhuang Chaoying looked at him.
Pengfei bit his lip and said nothing more.
When we got to the entrance of the alley, we saw Zhu Xiuyu carrying a bag as if she was about to go out. When she saw the two of them, she said:
"If you don't come back soon, I'm going to go check on Pengfei! Where did you get hurt? How is he now?"
"Aunt, I'm fine. I was just hit a few times. I'm very tough and not afraid." Pengfei raised his face to show her.
Zhu Xiuyu pulled him under a tree and took a closer look: "Why did he hit someone in the face? These people are too mean! Is he your classmate? How could they hit him?"
"Don't feel bad for him. I heard the other party was injured more seriously."
Zhu Xiuyu rolled her eyes at Zhuang Chaoying and asked, "Didn't they bully you more than once? This time you couldn't help yourself and got hurt even more, right? You deserve it!"
"They didn't bully me, they bullied Xiaoting."
"I'll tell you what I mean! How could I possibly hit someone so easily? I know my own child."
Zhuang Chaoying was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Huang Ling had asked him to come back and ask Zhu Xiuyu.
"Let's go home. I'll boil you an egg. Those medicines are useless. You should boil one tomorrow morning before going to school." Zhu Xiu Yu took Peng Fei's hand and the two walked in front. Zhu Xiu Yu ignored Zhuang Chao Ying the whole time.
Zhuang Chaoying felt mixed emotions.
He stood under the tree for a while before going home.
Eggs were boiling in a small pot. Pengfei took off his clothes and walked forward. Zhu Xiuyu was rubbing the wound on his back.
Seeing him come in, Zhu Xiuyu said without even turning her head:
"Teacher Zhuang, the school wants parents to go tomorrow. I see you're very busy at work, so I'll go!"
"I know. It means to go after class. It won't be a problem if I go early after work." Zhuang Chaoying didn't know whether he wanted to show off or was worried about Zhu Xiuyu.
"I said I will go. Don't worry, I won't embarrass Director Zhuang." Zhu Xiu Yu emphasized.
Zhuang Chaoying could only nod: "That's not what I meant. I...Okay, you go."
Zhu Xiu Yu looked at Peng Fei, who seemed very happy.
Pengfei knew, and Zhu Xiuyu also knew, that it would be useless for Zhuang Chaoying to go, as he would not stand on Pengfei's side.
Huang Ling's family returned home and had a full meal. Only then did they listen to Xiaoting's account of the whole incident.
In the midterm exam, Xiaoting still ranked first. The results were announced this morning and her photo was posted on the bulletin board.
After school in the afternoon, the three of them were preparing to go to the garment factory together to report their grades. When they passed the bulletin board, they found that someone had used ink to paint Xiaoting's photo into the image of Chongba.
The two were so angry that they didn't expect that the male classmates who were looking at the list together laughed exaggeratedly when they heard this.
Pengfei looked back and recognized one of them as their classmate Li Guanglei.
He then questioned: "Li Guanglei, it was you who did it!"
"It's not me, I just think it's funny! Huang Chongba, haha!" Li Guanglei looked like he was laughing to death. When he laughed, the other three followed suit.
Dongzhe was sharp-eyed and immediately noticed the blue-black ink mark on Li Guanglei's finger.
"If it's not you, why is there ink on your finger?" Dongzhe asked.
"Who are you? What does it have to do with you whether there is ink on my hand?" Li Guanglei pulled his hand back.
Dongzhe was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say "I am her brother" and he didn't dare say "I am her neighbor" because Xiaoting didn't allow him to say it.
Li Guanglei called out to the people around him: "Come on, I'm in a good mood today, I'll buy you some soda!"
Pengfei grabbed him and said, "You can't leave! Let's go find Teacher Ma!"
Li Guanglei struggled to break free.
It would have been fine if he hadn't struggled, but when he did, several bicycle valve cores fell out of his pocket.
"Great! It's you! I've been waiting for two days and couldn't find anyone. It turns out to be you!" Pengfei said angrily.
Xiaoting had the valve core of her bicycle pulled out for several days in a row, and she only told Pengfei.
Pengfei waited quietly for two days but didn't see anyone. Now he finally knew who did it.
Now that he had found his master, Pengfei grabbed him and asked him to go find his teacher.
Just like that, several people started quarreling, and then began to tear each other's clothes. Xiaoting wanted to persuade them, but one of them pushed her down.
It’s okay to hit myself, but I can’t bear to hit Xiaoting, so there was a two-on-four situation later.
The teaching from the comrades was not in vain. The two men took some punches, but they were victorious. Two of the opponents were beaten badly until the teacher came and separated them.
Two of them ran away during the chaos, and two of them had blood on their faces and were taken to the infirmary by the teacher.
The three of them were kept in the office by Teacher Ma.
Huang Ling first comforted Xiaoting until she fell asleep, and then returned to the room.
She gritted her teeth and said:
"I was afraid of burdening Xiaoting, so I didn't go to her homeroom teacher at the start of the school year. I thought she was fine in every way and didn't need any special care. I never expected something like this to happen! I'd previously asked Teacher Ma, and she said she was the most experienced homeroom teacher from the graduating class. I didn't expect her to be so wishy-washy. No matter how good her teaching is, it won't work!"
Zhou Huaiyi shook her hand and said:
"Let's go to school together tomorrow. If you can't, let Xiaoting and Pengfei take over."
"Oh, it's all my fault that I didn't answer the call. Why would I call at such a critical moment?"
"I'm here, I'm closer, I got here before you."
Huang Ling nodded.
The next afternoon, Zhou Huaiyi, Huang Ling and Song Ying saw Zhu Xiu Yu as soon as they arrived at the school gate.
