Kindergarten, teacher's office.
As soon as Su Ding entered, she saw Xiao Rui standing aside with tear-streaked cheeks, accompanied by Jin Xiaoxi and Wang Siwei, who were covered in dust and clearly had just fought.
Beside them, a little boy, with a large bump on his forehead, was crying loudly, accompanied by the teacher.
"Xiao Rui's mother, you're here."
Teacher Wang saw Su Ding and led the little boy over. "This is what happened. Zhang Yue was chatting with other children while eating. Wang Siwei heard it and, along with Jin Xiaoxi, beat Zhang Yue, bruising his forehead."
"Zhang Yue's parents are also on their way. You can discuss a solution."
Hearing the teacher's explanation, Su Ding frowned. "Teacher, my child is not the type to bully classmates. How did the fight start? What did Zhang Yue say?"
"Zhang Yue just said that his aunt treated him well, and that's what led Jin Xiaoxi and Wang Siwei to fight..."
Teacher Wang sighed helplessly and glanced displementfully at Siwei and Xiaoxi by the wall.
These two children were usually very well-behaved. She wasn't sure why they had taken the initiative to hit another child today, which puzzled her.
"Teacher! That's not it!"
Su Xiaorui, her tears still not dry, said indignantly, "Zhang Yue deliberately told Wang Siwei that his aunt treated him well and didn't want her own son anymore, that all the aunt's property would be his in the future, that Wang Siwei would have to clean toilets at their company, and that he should be kicked out of kindergarten, saying he didn't deserve to be here..."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue also cried out, "I was telling the truth! His mother doesn't want him anymore... His mother, and everything in the future will be mine... That's what my dad said..."
Hearing this, Teacher Wang looked surprised. "Zhang Yue, how could you say such things?"
Clearly, she didn't understand the situation between the two families.
Su Ding looked at Zhang Yue again, realizing he looked somewhat familiar. Wasn't this Xu Rong's boyfriend's son?
Only now did she understand the children's conflict.
"Wuwuwu, teacher, he bullied me! My parents aren't here yet, I want my parents to beat him, wuwu..."
Zhang Yue grabbed Teacher Zhang's clothes and cried loudly.
Teacher Zhang was still a bit bewildered, wiping Zhang Yue's tears. "Zhang Yue, tell the teacher, why did you say his mother abandoned him? What you said is wrong."
"How is it wrong? His mother is with my father and hasn't cared about him for a long time."
Zhang Yue cast a provocative glance at Wang Siwei with teary eyes.
At this moment, Wang Siwei clenched his small fists, his eyes filled with anger, and a look of forbearance, unbefitting a child, on his face.
Su Ding quickly stepped forward to block Zhang Yue's view.
She gently hugged Wang Siwei and said softly, "Siwei, don't be afraid, Auntie is here."
Wang Siwei felt the concern from the adult and buried his face in Su Ding's arms. He made no sound, but Su Ding felt her clothes gradually getting soaked.
Instantly, Su Ding's heart ached.
"Teacher Wang, the facts are clear now. Zhang Yue bullied Siwei first, which is why Siwei hit him. If Siwei hadn't defended himself, he would have suffered Zhang Yue's mockery, which would have been very detrimental to the child's physical and mental health."
Su Ding's expression turned serious as she looked at Teacher Wang.
Teacher Wang also looked somewhat conflicted. "Alright, when the children's parents arrive, you can discuss it. Please try not to hurt the children..."
Just then, Xu Rong and her man rushed in.
Upon seeing Wang Siwei in the office, Xu Rong's anxious expression froze. "Siwei, why are you here?"
Wang Siwei heard his mother's voice. He had missed her dearly, but now he felt a sense of disgust.
He clung tighter to Su Ding and ignored her.
Su Ding glanced coldly at Xu Rong and said, "Xu Rong, do you still remember that you have a biological son?"
Xu Rong was already feeling guilty seeing Wang Siwei. Upon hearing this question, her face changed, and she stammered a few times, unable to find words.
"Who are you?"
The man's eyes lit up when he saw Su Ding. This woman was truly beautiful, with a voluptuous figure, slender legs, and a captivating aura. Her voice was also exceptionally pleasant.
"I am Wang Siwei's legal guardian."
Su Ding said firmly, "Your child in class said that our Siwei has no mother and that his mother abandoned him. Siwei couldn't bear it any longer, so he acted. We need to discuss the handling of this matter."
The man then noticed Wang Siwei, his face showing arrogance and indifference.
Zhang Yue broke free from Teacher Wang's embrace and rushed into the man's arms, pointing at Wang Siwei. "Daddy, he hit me!"
Seeing Zhang Yue with his father, and even his own mother standing with them, Wang Siwei felt a painful tremor in his heart.
He stared intently at the man, his eyes filled with hatred.
This was the man who had stolen his mother, ruined his family, and left him with no one.
"So it's you, kid."
The man sneered inwardly, then turned to Teacher Wang with a smooth, opportunistic smile. "Teacher Wang, right? It's all a misunderstanding! Ah, I've remarried, and he's currently staying with Miss Su. It's normal for the children to have a conflict."
Teacher Wang understood the current situation and had some thoughts.
However, since the parents of the two children were related in this way, she felt relieved that the matter wouldn't escalate.
"Mr. Zhang, although that's the case, as a teacher, I still want to remind you not to let parental issues influence the children. Children are still young and don't understand anything; they need the care of both teachers and parents."
The man nodded with a smile. "Yes, you're right."
As he spoke, he subtly glanced at Su Ding again, his heart fluttering.
"I think, since Xiao Yue spoke ill of Siwei, and Siwei hit him, this matter is evened out. What do you think?" the man asked with a smile, nudging Xu Rong. "Xiao Rong, what do you say?"
Xu Rong looked at Wang Siwei, who was huddled in Su Ding's arms, and felt a pang of discomfort.
She felt apologetic towards her son, but she couldn't help it.
"Zhang Gang, let's leave it at that."
Xu Rong said, then turned to Zhang Yue. She had always treated the child gently and hoped for his approval, but she hadn't expected him to say those things at kindergarten.
"Xiao Yue, you shouldn't have spoken like that. Siwei is your older brother, and you will be brothers in the same family. Auntie loves you, and she loves Siwei too..."
"Nonsense!"
Before Xu Rong could finish, Wang Siwei interrupted her angrily.
"I won't go home with you, and I'm not his brother! We are not a family! My surname is Wang!"
"Siwei, how can you speak like that!"
Xu Rong's face immediately showed displeasure. She had been trying to build a good relationship with Zhang Yue for the sake of their future family.
How could this child be so unreasonable now, not understanding the difficulties adults face?
"Xu Rong, how are you talking?"
Seeing Wang Siwei's pitiful, red-eyed look, Su Ding's expression also turned cold as she questioned, "Do you have the right to speak to Siwei like that?"
