"You can stay here, but tell me, what branch of the military is your husband in? What's his name? Tell me so I can hear it and see if I recognize him."
The woman acted as if she knew everything, completely disregarding Jiang Yu. Not only her, but the head teacher also thought Jiang Yu had been frightened into madness and was starting to talk nonsense.
Jiang Yu squinted her eyes slightly, and her lips curled up:
You are not worthy.
The woman was about to argue with her when she heard the headmaster's respectful greeting:
"Principal, what brings you here?"
In his opinion, he could handle this little matter himself, but he didn't know who had alarmed the principal and wanted to take away his cake.
He glanced around, then his gaze finally settled on Jiang Yu. This woman really wouldn't admit defeat until she was faced with a corner; did she think she could win by bringing in the principal to uphold justice?
"Well, if I hadn't received instructions from higher-ups, I really wouldn't have known that this situation could have occurred at our school. I've already heard about the gist of the matter from other teachers. Instructor Zhang, is this how you handle problems?"
The principal, with his graying hair and stern face, sat silently, while the instructor, Zhang, remained unmoved, his mind racing. How strange! Why would such a trivial matter attract the attention of higher-ups? Could it be that, as he told the child, their family has some powerful connections?
"You're the principal, right? It's like this, between us..."
Pingping's mother had intended to strike up a conversation and mention her husband's status, but the principal interrupted her, fearing she might be implicated.
"Madam, Shen Suisui's father is named Shen Ying."
Shen Ying's name is already considered legendary in the city. Recently, the provincial government has also taken notice of him, and his future prospects cannot be described simply as limitless.
As family members of county officials and school staff, we naturally knew this name.
No wonder, before Jiang Yu arrived, Shen Sui Sui was able to remain calm and composed even when facing fierce adults. How could a tiger father have a dog son?
Even though their family has a powerful background, they've always kept a low profile. If it weren't for what happened today, they probably wouldn't have found out until graduation. But now that we know, if we really try to get close to the Shen family, the school can also gain a lot.
Of course, that's all in the future. The immediate priority is to figure out how to satisfy the woman and child in front of us.
At the same time, Jiang Yu was also wondering, how did Shen Ying know? Could it be that he had been sending people to follow her all along?
Thinking of this, her face darkened. What a cunning man! He's all smiles and politeness on the surface, but behind your back he pulls these petty tricks. A narrow-minded man like that can't amount to anything.
On second thought, it seemed that the smoother this man's career was, the more she could benefit from it. After all, her identity in this body was that of the child's mother, so there could be some connection.
Watching her constantly changing expressions, Instructor Zhang felt a chill run down his spine. He no longer dared to make a move on Jiang Yu; whether he could keep his job was another matter entirely.
......
Bai Chen returned from outside, looking happy, when he happened to see Shen Ying coming out of the chief's place with a livid face, and he became serious.
"Brother Ying, what's wrong? What happened?"
Shen Ying wasn't in the mood to chat with him much, so she gave him a few perfunctory words and left. Bai Chen, however, heard the whole story from the leader. When Shen Ying went to the mall to find Jiang Yu after completing the land use certificate process, she found the clothing store empty. She only learned that something had happened at the school when she found Liu Cui.
He had long heard that some of the staff in the childcare center were snobbish and worried that the mother and daughter would be taken advantage of, so he made a special report to the leader, asking him to put in a good word with the school.
Shen Yinglai had been in the army for seven years and generally didn't bother people much. But now that he had asked, his superiors were willing to help, which led to what just happened.
Now he needs to go to the school to see if anyone is still abusing their power. He also wants to ask about the specifics.
......
"Fine, I'll let it go since Pingping wasn't hurt."
Pingping's mother waved her hand dismissively, appearing magnanimous, but her tone remained condescending. Even though the other party had revealed their hand, she absolutely couldn't afford to lose in terms of poise.
“Since you’re not going to hold it against me, then I’ll talk about the harm my daughter suffered. I’ll get my revenge not only for her physical injuries, but also for the emotional ones.”
From the moment she appeared until now, regardless of whether people looked down on her or questioned her, she remained unfazed as she looked at this group of clowns, refusing to back down an inch, even after her identity was revealed.
"Don't go too far..."
"Sui Sui's mother, rest assured, as a member of the school's management, I will definitely give you and your child justice."
Before Pingping's mother could finish speaking, the principal stated his position directly, even changing the way he addressed her to be more respectful.
The mayor just called him. If he doesn't handle this properly, there are plenty of people eyeing this position.
"Yes, yes, it was my fault for being confused for a moment, and I made Sui Sui's mother feel wronged. I will reconsider."
Instructor Zhang quickly followed up with his statement, saying that in his view, no one dislikes flattery. As long as he praised people more, the matter could always be resolved.
"I'm not wronged, my child is the one who is wronged."
Jiang Yu sneered at the bald man's unchanging snobbishness. The principal gestured with his eyes, signaling him to shut up if he couldn't speak properly, and stood quietly to the side, observing the situation.
"First, I ask Pingping and this parent to apologize to my daughter, Chen Suisui. Second, you need to explain the injury on my daughter's hand."
Jiang Yu felt heartbroken that her daughter had done nothing wrong, yet was being falsely accused and smeared by these people. Thankfully, her daughter had a strong mentality; otherwise, what might have happened while Jiang Yu was away would have been unimaginable.
"Why should she apologize? She hurt her hand herself, what does it have to do with me?"
Pingping held her head high, her face full of resentment. She had never said the words "sorry" before, and she was not going to compromise this time either.
"Pingping, how has your mother usually taught you to behave...?"
The woman whispered a few words in her daughter's ear. Pingping initially resisted, but by the end, her expression softened.
She also worried that if she implicated her husband and he was dismissed from his post in the county, his life would only get worse. Taking a step back would open up a whole new world, and besides, this Shen Suisui would eventually find herself alone.
"Shen Suisui, I'm sorry."
Pingping was reluctantly pulled to Chen Suisui's side by her mother, her face grim. The apology sounded like a handout.
Shen Suisui was very dissatisfied with this apology; she didn't even look at it, acting as if she couldn't hear it at all.
"Pingping, haven't you eaten?"
The woman's sudden increase in volume startled her, and seeing tears welling up in her eyes, she urged her again:
"Apologize to your little sister Sui Sui right now, and never take things from her again. If there's a next time, not only will I not forgive you, but even your teacher won't let you off the hook."
The implication was clear: as long as they didn't take advantage of Shen Suisui, they could bully anyone else. Jiang Yu sneered; she really was incorrigible.
