There were quite a few cars parked in front of the kindergarten, including luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and BMW. It was no wonder that it was a prestigious local kindergarten. Lu Feng's Santana made him look rather shabby.
When we arrived at the kindergarten gate with Duoduo, a group of teachers were already waiting there. They were all young women in their early twenties, some of whom were quite pretty.
A woman, who looked to be around thirty years old, with big wavy hair, was standing near the door with a little boy beside her. She was talking to the teacher, who kept bowing and apologizing.
As she approached the door, Duoduo greeted the teacher politely and introduced, "Teacher, this is my dad."
"Hello, teacher!" Lu Feng greeted.
The female teacher glanced at Lu Feng, then turned to him and said, "Lele's mom, Duoduo's dad is here, principal!"
The woman, who kept apologizing, looked at Lu Feng and said, "Duo Duo's parents have arrived. We did have some shortcomings in supervision, but the greater responsibility lies with him."
Lu Feng frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Did you get into trouble?"
"I didn't. Yesterday, Xin Yaping and the others were playing together. Lele fell down, and he insisted that I pushed him." Duoduo said, gesturing wildly, looking incredibly aggrieved.
The woman stormed over, demanding, "What's wrong with your child? How old is he to be hitting people? Look at the state my child has become!"
Lu Feng looked at the little boy; he had only a small scratch, which had already scabbed over and would heal in two or three days at most.
“I just asked the child about this. He fell on his own and it has nothing to do with my daughter, Duoduo.”
The woman sized Lu Feng up and down, then glanced at the car parked beside her. Her expression grew increasingly grim, and she snapped, "You think it's okay just because you say so? Who do you think you are, to decide for yourself?"
"It's not up to me to decide, it's just how things are, and my child wouldn't lie!"
"You dare talk back to me?" The woman's face contorted with rage as she pointed at Lu Feng and said, "Who do you think you are? You hit my child and you think you're in the right? Do you even know who my husband is? Let me tell you, one phone call from me and I'll skin you alive!"
The headmaster came over, pulled Lu Feng aside, and advised, "It's better to avoid trouble. Apologize to him; his man is not someone to be trifled with."
Lu Feng looked at her with great surprise and said, "It wasn't my child who caused this trouble, so why should we apologize? Just because her husband is not to be trifled with doesn't mean I'm easy to bully. Is this a kindergarten or a place for adults?"
"Don't take it out on me. They're convinced your kid did it. To put it bluntly, they're furious. Does it matter whether your kid did it or not? Just because you drive a beat-up Santana doesn't make you a millionaire!" The principal said sarcastically. "If you drive this car to the village, you're a big shot. But here, you're just a beggar."
Lu Feng knew that some people in this world looked down on others, but he never expected to meet such an extreme case. He looked at her and sneered, saying, "So whoever has money is the boss to you, right?"
"Yes, I'm not forcing you to apologize. If they get upset and target you, don't blame me for not warning you."
Lu Feng nodded and said to Lele's mother, "Your husband is so powerful, isn't he? Anyway, nothing I say matters now, you're just convinced it was my child who did it, right?"
"I'm not accusing you wrongly. It was your child who did it. Let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame my family for being impolite." The woman's voice was very sharp, like that of a shrew, and her emotions were very unstable.
"Alright, I'll skip school today. I'll come back after school this evening. Didn't you say you wanted to make a big show of things, like who has more money?" Lu Feng stared at the principal and said, "Then let's have a competition. I'm not good enough. I can't afford to put on this show for my daughter."
"Don't pretend to be rich. Everyone knows your wife drives this beat-up car to pick up the kids every day. Let me tell you, the tuition is non-refundable," the principal said nonchalantly.
"You're not going to apologize, are you? I'll wait for you after school. If you're going to cower like a coward and not come, I'll come to your house. Don't think I don't know where you live. One phone call from me and I can dig you out of the ground." The woman pointed at Lu Feng and yelled, "Don't be arrogant in front of me, you're not worthy!"
Lu Feng was furious. It wasn't safe to leave Duo Duo at school now, so he picked her up and carried her to the car.
"Dad, aren't you going to school anymore?"
“It’s a day off today. Come over tonight. I’m going to put on a show. If your dad can’t even give you a proper welcome after all this time, I’ve wasted my life. Your mom might put up with this, but your dad absolutely won’t, you know?” Lu Feng opened the car door and looked at her, asking, “How’s Dad?”
"good!"
"Here, give me a kiss."
Duoduo smiled broadly and gave him a quick kiss.
