Chapter 34: Mingzhu was in another fight.
Jun Meilin could not help thinking that she could not catch a break, Mingzhu’s school had called when they were leaving the government office. Apparently, her feisty daughter had managed to get herself involved in another scrape. It was the third one in this year alone.
On arriving at the school with Jingzhe, they were taken directly to the principal’s office. Meilin found her stubborn daughter standing near the corner, her arms crossed across her chest and the look in her eyes as fierce as that of a little lion cub. On her face were a few scratches and on the back of her right hand, a fresh wound that not been treated.
Her opponent was a young boy, her classmate that Mei Mei recognized. He had one of the loudest mothers in the school, a woman that loved being the center of attention.
The boy’s wounds had already been tended to, on both arms were small plasters. His nose was swollen, as was one of his eyes. From first appearance alone, it was easy to guess who had won the fight. Mei Mei had only lost one fight in her life, she was three back then and her opponent was a five year old.
"What is our defense here?" Jingzhe whispered to her.
Hardly had Mei Mei formulated her thoughts when Mrs. Fang started the shouting match at the top of her voice.
"You have finally come Meilin, very good. See what your wild daughter has done to my precious Bao Bao. She almost broke his nose and ripped out his eye. This is why I was against Bao Bao being in the same class as that street fighter...."
Mei Mei turned around and approached Mingzhu, blocking out most of Mrs. Fang’s screaming.
"Sweetie, are you hurt?"
