Lu Yushan slowly turned her head, looking at Shen Xi with a hint of coldness. "Dr. Shen, Junqi has already been expelled from school. He's just a child, why are you still not letting go?"
"Expulsion was the school's decision. I want his attitude. He needs to realize his mistake, otherwise, he won't be leaving here." Shen Xi suddenly stepped forward, her voice sharp, her gaze fixing on them with icy eyes.
It was as if countless cold arrows were being shot at them from a dark cave.
Lu Junqi's crying stopped abruptly. Trembling, he pulled Lu Yushan's hand and retreated.
"Auntie, let's go quickly."
At this moment, the three children suddenly let go of Qin Si Ye and ran over, blocking their retreat.
Fearing for the children's safety, Qin Si Ye also strode over.
Lu Yushan was startled by this imposing presence and had to plead with him, "Si Ye, you..."
As soon as she uttered his name, she was met with Qin Si Ye's warning, stern gaze.
Lu Yushan's heart trembled, and she hastily changed her words, "Mr. Qin, look how scared Junqi is, he's crying so much, please..."
"If you do something wrong, you have to apologize!" Qin Si Ye suddenly interrupted her, looking down at them condescendingly.
He didn't want to say another word to her.
This powerful aura instantly filled the corridor, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze, making it impossible to breathe.
When one is under another's roof, one must bow.
Lu Yushan knew that an apology was necessary, otherwise, they would truly have a difficult time leaving here today.
She bent down and whispered something in Lu Junqi's ear. Lu Junqi, with a red face, quickly walked in front of Chenchen and the others and said:
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
After saying that, he turned and ran downstairs.
As Lu Yushan left, she couldn't help but cast another glance at the three children in front of her.
"Mr. Qin, Ms. Shen, I apologize for what happened today. Do you two have time this evening? Let's have dinner together." Principal Chen walked forward, looking at them with a kind smile.
"No need. If you have the time, you'd be better off thoroughly reforming your teaching staff." Qin Si Ye gave him a chilling glance, took the hands of the three children, and turned to walk downstairs.
Shen Xi was stunned and hesitated for a moment before following behind them.
Seeing them descend the stairs, the assistant behind Principal Chen stepped forward and whispered, "I haven't heard that Mr. Qin is married. How can he suddenly have three children?"
Principal Chen glared at him sideways. "How can people like us possibly fathom the lives of the wealthy?
After school, gather all the faculty for a meeting."
At the kindergarten entrance, Shen Xi stared sharply at the four people in front of her, and after a long pause, she said coldly, "You four cooperated quite well today."
"Mommy, this has nothing to do with Uncle Qin. I was just in a hurry and wanted to slap Lu Junqi down when I said that," Chenchen stepped forward and gently pulled her arm.
Shen Xi looked down at him with a frown, and said helplessly, "But you can't just say things like that. Your Uncle Qin is a spotlight figure in K City. Doing this greatly affects his reputation. Do you understand?"
"I don't care," Qin Si Ye said suddenly upon hearing this.
"But I do," Shen Xi looked directly at him, her eyes filled with vigilance.
What did he mean by this? Did he really want to be the children's daddy?
Their gazes met in the air, like flashing lightning, neither willing to back down. The children, seeing them speak so confrontationally for the first time, were startled.
After a while, Shen Xi withdrew her gaze, remotely unlocked the car doors, and said to Chenchen, "Take your younger siblings to the car first."
"Okay." Chenchen, with a worried look, beckoned Shuoshuo and Yanyan toward their car.
The three children, looking back repeatedly, slowly got into the car.
Qin Si Ye stepped forward and whispered, "I did this today entirely to help the children. Why are you so angry?"
The implication was that he had not broken the boundary and agreement between them.
"Are you saying you intend to bypass me and form an alliance with the three of them?" Shen Xi looked at him with icy eyes.
Qin Si Ye stared at her intently for a moment, then suddenly said, "They suffered great grievances at school today. I have a suggestion, why don't they recognize me as their godfather? That way, people won't gossip anymore."
