Chapter 468 - 402 Sister Rong is Angry
Originally, Le Jia thought that when she said this, she would see a look of fear on the faces of Rong Yan or her mother.
Just as long as this woman begged for mercy... then after the humiliation, she would still let them go.
At this moment, Le Jia genuinely wanted to see this woman beg for mercy... Would she keep apologizing over and over again?
Or would she kneel down?
However, she suddenly realized... these siblings were merely this person’s junior uncle and aunt by marital relation.
After all, she had just heard them address the woman with the surname Rong as their sister-in-law!
Which means, these two were with that man on the first day of school, and that man was their real elder brother.
Could a sister-in-law truly have control over her junior brother-in-law and sister-in-law?
She was somewhat skeptical.
If she were to put herself in their shoes... for her to apologize to someone else on behalf of her own junior brother-in-law or sister-in-law?
That would be impossible for her.
Let alone a junior sister-in-law and brother-in-law, even for her own blood brother, that was also something she was unwilling to do.
So, after thinking it through, humiliating Rong Yan... seemed unlikely.
But causing this woman some financial loss, that probably could still happen.
After all, if this woman truly didn’t care at all, then how would she explain it to her man later on?
Thinking of this, she felt a bit more steady.
Waiting expectantly...
Unfortunately, despite her mind churning with many thoughts, Rong Yan didn’t even give her a glance.
Rong Yan patted the frightened younger girl, consoling her with a sentence, "Don’t be scared, your sister-in-law is here."
With just these few words, Qin Mei’s heart instantly settled.
Even Qin Yu, who was never much afraid, felt more at ease after hearing this.
Teacher Shen had never expected Le Kai’s sister to say something like this.
She glanced at the parents of Qin Yu and Qin Mei, seeing that their attention wasn’t even on this matter, and felt a headache coming on.
Could it be that they didn’t hear what Le Kai’s sister had just said?
After thinking it over, both in terms of public and private interests... having a scene at the police station would not be good.
So, she spoke to Le Jia, "Sister Le, about this incident... after all, it was just a fight between two middle school students. If this is taken to the police station... Le Kai is also somewhat responsible since he was the first to throw a punch... How about everyone sits down and talks this out... After all, they will have to study together at this school in the future."
She believed that both parties had some fault, one with a hand too ready, and the other with punches too fierce.
But the mistakes they made up to this point... weren’t serious enough to result in expulsion, so the main goal was still to solve the issue.
As soon as she spoke, Le Jia hadn’t even opened her mouth, but it was like stabbing Nie Yuexiang in the lung.
She was so angry that if it weren’t for the inappropriate situation, she could have gone straight up to slap the teacher across the face.
"What’s with you, Teacher? Isn’t there a method to your bias? What do you mean my son Le Kai is also responsible? Are you suggesting you were bribed by their family?" Nie Yuexiang stared at the class leader, the more she thought about it, the more she believed her suspicion was true, "How come you went to report the incident? Seems like you took advantages from them, didn’t you?"
Her words nearly brought Teacher Shen to tears.
Her face was beet red, and her body trembled slightly, "Parent of Le Kai, you can’t just slander people like that, accusing me baselessly. How could I possibly do such a thing?"
She was still young, had not seen much of the world, and had never encountered someone so unreasonable before; she was truly upset by these words and didn’t know how to handle the situation.
"Slander? Isn’t it true? Otherwise, why would you always stand up for them?"
"That’s because she is fair. You wanted to call the police, didn’t you? Fine then, go ahead! And while you’re at it, Teacher Shen, you can also sue her for defamation since..."
Rong Yan curled her lips into a smile, "This could constitute the crime of insult and defamation, Teacher Shen. You should know, your reputation as a teacher is very important. If you let them smear you like this, the impact it could have on you is significant..."
"Sometimes, it’s not as simple as the innocent clearing themselves and the guilty implicating themselves, you need to wield the weapon of law to defend and protect yourself. After all, you are a teacher of the people, and such a reputation cannot tolerate the slightest blemish. Otherwise, if word gets out and it causes the parents of students to distrust you, what then?"
This lengthy lecture left Teacher Shen contemplating...
Nie Yuexiang and Le Jia were fuming with anger.
This woman... was she intentionally stirring the pot? She must have deliberately diverted the trouble, right?
"You..." Nie Yuexiang wanted to curse.
But Le Jia was quicker, "Aunt, stop talking, just apologize to Teacher Shen."
Upon hearing this, Nie Yuexiang felt displeased, "I didn’t say anything wrong..."
When she saw the stern look in her stepdaughter’s eyes, she swallowed the words she had at the tip of her tongue.
With reluctance, she addressed Teacher Shen, "Teacher Shen, sorry, I was too hasty and spoke out of turn... I shouldn’t have said that about you. It’s just that I was really worried about my son."
The reality in her household was... even though she had given birth to a son for the Le Family, her status had never been higher than her stepdaughter’s.
People in the Le Family doted on this stepdaughter.
After more than a decade of marrying into the Le Family, despite dedicating herself to her stepdaughter, she never earned the title of "mother" from her.
Fortunate enough, only one or two years were left until the stepdaughter married off, and then everything in the household would belong to her son.
With this thought, she forced down her dissatisfaction with her stepdaughter.
Seeing that Nie Yuexiang had apologized, although Teacher Shen still felt unsettled, she didn’t harbor any more hard feelings and dryly said, "...It’s okay."
Then she took the opportunity to say, "Parent of Le Kai, and the parent of Qin Yu, since the incident has already happened, I hope you can sit down and discuss things properly."
At the mention of this, Nie Yuexiang’s attitude hardened, "I’ve already said it, either that kid’s leg gets broken too, and then they compensate us for the medical expenses..."
Thinking it over, she quickly added, "He’s so young yet so vicious, if he stays in the school it’ll be a menace, I strongly demand that they both be removed from the school."
As for where they would go, or if they would stop attending school altogether, that was of no concern to her.
Her son would still need to attend this school once his leg healed... so such dangerous elements couldn’t stay here.
Teacher Shen: ...
This demand was too excessive.
Rong Yan couldn’t be bothered with this family’s self-imposed drama.
Her gaze turned to the person who had been hanging his head all this time, and only then did she notice something amiss... her face immediately darkened.
Before, she was too focused on Qin Mei and had assumed the injuries on Qin Yu’s face came from the fight with the boy.
But now, at closer inspection, they were clearly handprints... and moreover, those of an adult.
Damn it, her DNA as a cop was kicking in.
