The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 141 Calling the Parents
Seeing this, he was both angry and blaming himself.
He blamed himself for not noticing his daughter's injury immediately, and instead, Chen Xiao, an outsider, noticed it first.
He was angry that his daughter was actually injured!
From birth until now, he hadn't even touched her with a finger.
And now, seeing her in this state, it was clear that she had been beaten, and Gu Zhendong was immediately furious.
They were bullying him by bullying his daughter; this was outrageous!
In an instant, anger spread throughout the room.
"Tongtong, tell Dad, who is so bold as to hurt you like this? I'll kill him today!"
Gu Yutong was shocked when she heard this: "It's okay, Dad, I just accidentally fell. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Gu Zhendong naturally wouldn't believe it: "It has nothing to do with anyone else? You fell by yourself? Then why did your class teacher ask me to see her? Tongtong, don't be afraid, Dad's here to support you."
Gu Yutong stammered, looking embarrassed.
Chen Xiao quickly advised Gu Zhendong: "Uncle Gu, I think you scared Tongtong. We're in a society ruled by law now. Don't resort to violence at every turn. I guess Tongtong had a conflict with a classmate, right?"
Gu Yutong's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked like she had found a kindred spirit, nodding quickly.
Chen Xiao coaxed her gently: "Tongtong, don't be afraid. Tell us what happened, and Big Brother Chen will help you solve it!"
Sure enough, Gu Yutong still trusted Chen Xiao very much, and then she told the truth.
It turned out that the injuries on Gu Yutong's face were from being beaten by several classmates.
Several female students blocked Gu Yutong in the bathroom after class, saying that she was seducing one of their boyfriends.
Gu Yutong naturally wouldn't admit it, so the girls went up and started hitting and scratching her.
Gu Yutong refused to be outdone and fought back with them.
At this time, a teacher happened to see them and separated them. The end result was that the parents were called.
Gu Zhendong asked, "Tongtong, do you have anything to do with that boy?"
Gu Yutong shook her head: "Of course not!"
Gu Zhendong said generously: "Actually, it's okay if you do, but you still have to focus on your studies now. It's best if you don't."
Gu Yutong rolled her eyes: "I don't even like those teenage boys!"
As she said this, Gu Yutong's eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Chen Xiao.
However, Chen Xiao and Gu Zhendong didn't notice this detail, and even if they did, they wouldn't think too much about it. After all, in their eyes, Gu Yutong was still just a child.
Although Gu Yutong herself didn't think so.
"Since that's the case, then Dad will go to the school. Children, there's no deep hatred, just misunderstandings that need to be resolved."
After learning the truth, Gu Zhendong also calmed down, no longer shouting and killing, looking like he wanted to actively solve the problem.
Gu Yutong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. She thought her father wouldn't go with her to see the teacher.
At this time, Chen Xiao suddenly said, "I'll go with you. Anyway, I'm just idle, and I can drive you there."
The father and daughter naturally had no objections and accepted Chen Xiao's kindness.
But the reason why Chen Xiao went with them was not because he was 'just idle'.
Because he felt that things were not that simple.
And Gu Zhendong had been living in seclusion for a long time, and his thinking was out of touch with the outside world.
Chen Xiao was worried that if there were any accidents, Gu Zhendong would do something irrational.
When they arrived at the class teacher's office, there were still four girls standing inside.
Each of them had colorful faces, and their injuries were no lighter than Gu Yutong's.
Seeing this, Gu Zhendong almost laughed out loud.
He looked at his daughter with admiration, thinking that she was worthy of being Gu Zhendong's child, like father, like daughter!
Gu Yutong's class teacher was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with short hair and thick glasses, looking very strict.
She looked at Gu Zhendong and Chen Xiao: "Are you Gu Yutong's parents?"
Gu Zhendong quickly stood up: "Hello, teacher, I am Gu Yutong's father."
The class teacher asked in a drawn-out tone: "Has your daughter told you what happened?"
Gu Zhendong seemed to be in a good mood. When he first learned that his daughter had been beaten, his blood pressure rose in anger.
But when he saw that the people who bullied his daughter had been beaten so badly, he was not so angry, and planned to make peace.
After all, they were just children, and stumbles were inevitable.
So he said with a smile: "I've heard about it, teacher. I think this is just friction and conflict between the children. I hope they can solve it themselves. I won't pursue it, and I won't bother the teacher."
The teacher was stunned for a moment: "You're not going to pursue it?"
Then she said sternly: "Gu Yutong's parent, your daughter beat her classmates like this. Is this something you're not going to pursue? You probably haven't figured it out. I called you here to investigate your responsibility, not to let you investigate the responsibility of others!"
Gu Zhendong suddenly understood why the parents of the other girls hadn't come, and only he had come!
It turned out that this class teacher blamed everything on him.
He immediately sneered: "Teacher, I don't think you've figured out the situation either. They were the ones who hit my daughter first. Why should we be held responsible?"
The class teacher said coldly: "Who made the first move is still up for discussion, but your daughter injured them, and that's not okay!"
"It's not okay for my daughter to injure them, but it's okay for them to injure my daughter? What kind of logic is that? How can you be a teacher?"
Gu Zhendong's anger rose.
The class teacher slammed the table: "Gu Yutong's parent, what is your attitude? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"Like father, like daughter. I think the reason why Gu Yutong hits people is all because she has a father like you!"
Gu Zhendong frowned. Why was this teacher being so unreasonable?
It was clear that the other party had made the first move, and his daughter was just defending herself.
How could it be that it was all his daughter's fault?
But after all, this was a school, so Gu Zhendong suppressed his anger and said: "Teacher, it doesn't matter what you say about me, but I ask you to respect my daughter. I don't think she did anything wrong!"
The class teacher laughed in anger: "Okay, you're threatening me, right? Gu Yutong's parent, your temperament is worrying. It's no wonder Gu Yutong can't learn well with you around!"
Gu Zhendong became impatient: "Teacher, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I hope you can call the other parents too, so we can confront each other face to face!"
The class teacher sneered: "You think I'll call them just because you said so? Who do you think you are? Do you know who their parents are? It'll scare you to death if I tell you!"
