Chapter 38

Su Qianqian was immediately heartbroken and rushed over to hug Daya.

“Mom!” Daya, who had been holding back tears, instantly burst into tears when she saw Su Qianqian.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Mom’s here.” She comforted Daya, then noticed Erbao standing nearby, with a cut on the corner of his mouth. “Erbao, are you hurt anywhere else?”

“I’m fine.” Erbao shook his head, biting his lip.

The doctor, seeing the parents had arrived, said, “The child’s wound needs stitching. We’re going to administer local anesthesia first.”

“Daya, we’ll give you some anesthesia first, and after that, when we stitch it up, it won’t hurt, okay?” she said gently.

“Okay.” Daya nodded obediently, her tears still falling.

The doctor had already disinfected Daya’s wound, administered local anesthesia, and started stitching. Daya had stopped crying, but her little hands tightly clutched Su Qianqian’s clothes, still frightened and uneasy.

The wound was stitched with seven stitches, which broke Su Qianqian’s heart.

“Is there anywhere else you’re hurt?”

Daya shook her head. “No.”

Su Qianqian then turned to check on Erbao, asking the doctor to treat the cut on the corner of his mouth.

After making sure there were no other injuries, she sighed in relief.

“What happened?” She looked coldly at the teacher. The children had been badly hurt, and the teacher needed to be held responsible.

The teacher bowed and apologized. “We didn’t supervise them properly. I’m sorry.”

“Mom, it was Sun Tingting who bullied us. She told someone to mess with my and sister hair. We told them to stop, but they didn’t listen, so we started fighting. I got pushed by Sun Tingting, and my head hit the table,” Daya explained.

“Erbao fought with them to protect me and Sanya.”

Sun Tingting?

The teacher’s name was Sun?

Su Qianqian looked at Cheng Yue, and Cheng Yue nodded. “She’s Director Sun’s daughter.”

As expected!

“Captain Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, by the time we found out, it was already too late. It’s our responsibility!” The teacher did not shirk responsibility, and when the conflict happened, they immediately sent Daya to the hospital.

Sanya, seeing this, remembered Su Qianqian’s words: if anything happened, run home to tell Mom. So, she ran back home as fast as her little legs could carry her.

Though small, she ran quite quickly, thanks to the training she’d had growing up in the countryside.

“I remember Director Sun said he wanted to have a good talk with us, but he never came,” Su Qianqian recalled.

It seemed that Sun Ming and his wife didn’t feel the need to get along with them, perhaps they looked down on them.

There was a coldness in Cheng Yue’s expression, and the teacher nearby felt nervous and uneasy. These were people they couldn’t provoke, and being stuck in the middle was the hardest.

“Teacher, is Sun Tingting still at the kindergarten?” Su Qianqian asked.

“She should have been picked up by her family. She was also frightened.”

“She pushed someone and she was frightened?” Su Qianqian sneered.

She hugged Daya, then picked up Erbao, and asked Cheng Yue to carry Sanya. After running so much, Sanya’s legs were too weak to walk, but she was light, so Cheng Yue could carry her without much difficulty.

“We’re going back to the kindergarten now. Teacher, please bring Sun Tingting here. We’ll settle this today. It’ll be clearer in the kindergarten where we can talk it out, and it’ll be easier to see who was involved,” Su Qianqian said.

Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to visit each family individually. It’s better to solve it all together.

The teacher initially showed a bit of hesitation but soon realized this was the only way to resolve it, so she said, “Alright, I’ll go coordinate, you go to the kindergarten first.”

On the way to the kindergarten, Su Qianqian asked Cheng Yue, “How do you think this should be handled?”

“Have the Sun family apologize, pay for the medical bills, and ensure they won’t bully our three children again.”

“Mm.” She agreed that this was a reasonable approach.

When they arrived at the kindergarten, most of the children were already there, but Sun Tingting hadn’t arrived yet.

“Mom, that brother helped us just now,” Daya pointed to a little boy and told Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian followed her gaze and saw a little boy sitting alone in the corner, not paying attention to them as they arrived. It seemed like whatever had happened didn’t concern him.

“Let’s go thank him.”

She walked over with Daya, set her down, and then crouched down in front of the little boy. “Thank you for helping us earlier.”

The little boy looked at them, seeming a bit nervous. He clearly wasn’t good at socializing. He frowned and said somewhat arrogantly, “I just thought they were being too noisy.” It wasn’t helping!

Oh~ he’s a bit of a proud little boy.

“Still, thank you,” Su Qianqian said, giving him a gentle smile.

The little boy pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

Daya took a big White Rabbit milk candy from her pocket and placed it on the boy’s desk. “Here, this is for you.”

Before he could refuse, Daya took Su Qianqian’s hand and left.

They waited for a while, but Sun Tingting’s family still hadn’t arrived, which made Su Qianqian a bit upset. She looked at Cheng Yue and said, “Should we go over and invite them ourselves?”

Cheng Yue was also angry. “I’ll make a phone call.”

About five minutes later, Cheng Yue came back, still looking upset, but he told Su Qianqian, “They’ll be here soon.”

After about ten minutes, Song Qianqian and Sun Ming arrived with their daughter.

Sun Tingting seemed to have been crying, her eyes were swollen, and her face showed a lot of grievance.

“Captain Cheng, I’m truly sorry. The children were playing roughly, and your daughter got hurt so badly. We’re really sorry!” Sun Ming immediately apologized and stepped forward to shake Cheng Yue’s hand. Cheng Yue coldly shook his hand, then withdrew his own.

He turned to look at the Sun family. “We’ve understood the situation. Sun Tingting, along with other children, bullied my kids, pulling their hair. When my children resisted, Sun Tingting had others hit them and even pushed them during the chaos. I don’t know how you teach your children at home, but they clearly lack basic manners.”

This was a pretty serious accusation.

Song Qianqian immediately couldn’t hold back, “Who are you calling ill-mannered?”

“I’m talking about your daughter!” Cheng Yue wasn’t backing down, his sharp eyes glaring at Song Qianqian. She, feeling intimidated, took two steps back behind Sun Ming.

Sun Ming also darkened his expression and said unpleased, “You shouldn’t say things like that. It’s normal for children to play roughly, they’re just kids after all.”

“Being a child isn’t an excuse for making mistakes. Since the mistake has been made, it should be acknowledged. We invited you here to solve this, yet you had to be coaxed multiple times. What does that mean?” Su Qianqian was increasingly displeased with the couple.

Sun Tingting’s behavior of bullying other children certainly stemmed from being spoiled at home.

She suspected that Sun Tingting had probably bullied others before.

“Sun Tingting was scared. She didn’t expect things to get so serious. She’s been worried about your children at home, actually. We thought we should wait until her emotions were a bit more stable before coming.”

“Oh, the one who bullies others got scared, and her emotions are unstable. That’s a first for me to hear.” Su Qianqian couldn’t help but respond sarcastically.
