Chapter 602: Chapter 632: I Went Too Easy on Him Yesterday
When Qin Jiao and her mother arrived, the office wasn’t crowded. A middle-aged woman was talking endlessly to Xiao Shi’s homeroom teacher, while Xiao Shi and a boy with bruises at the corner of his eye and mouth were leaning against the wall.
The boy was whispering, trying to get a reaction out of Xiao Shi, but she just looked gloomy and annoyed.
’Xiao Shi must think her study time is being wasted...’ Qin Jiao guessed.
But when Xiao Shi saw her mother and sister, the annoyance on her face vanished. She frowned slightly, a look of worry taking its place.
"Mom, Sis..." She hadn’t expected her sister to come, too. Of course, the fact that her mom had been called in at all made her quite unhappy.
’After all, none of this was my fault!’
Qin Jiao winked at Xiao Shi, and at that moment, Xiao Shi’s heart instantly settled.
The boy beside her, however, let out a "Holy crap!" and said, "Is that your sister? She’s even prettier than you! Perfect, I have a brother!"
Xiao Shi shot him a death glare.
’I went too easy on him yesterday!’
Seeing that Qin Shi’s guardian had arrived, the homeroom teacher immediately came over. But before he could even speak, the boy’s mother started in with a passive-aggressive tone.
"Judging by your clothes, your family must be quite well-off. How did you manage to raise such a reckless, impulsive little delinquent?"
"You’re dressed quite well yourself, so why is it you can’t seem to speak like a civilized person? What do you mean, ’delinquent’? Did my sister strip your son naked, or did she do... *something else* to him?"
Qin Jiao’s rapid-fire retort left the woman completely stunned.
Even the two kids standing by the door were shocked!
The homeroom teacher was stunned for a few seconds. Right before the two families came to blows, he quickly intervened, "There must be a misunderstanding here. Let’s all have a seat and talk this out. Come on, please, sit down."
’The kids getting into a fight is one thing, but if the adults start fighting too, this will become a much bigger problem.’
Just then, Xiao Shi suddenly rushed forward to shield Qin Jiao. She frowned and said, "Ma’am, you need to go home and discipline your son. Tell him to stop writing me love letters, and I won’t beat him up again. Also, don’t you dare yell at my sister. She’s pregnant. If you upset her, I won’t let you off the hook!"
The woman was aghast. "You child! Have you no manners at all!"
Her heart warmed by her sister’s protectiveness, Qin Jiao sneered at the woman. "Every other word out of your mouth is ’delinquent.’ Ma’am, I think you’re the one who lacks any sort of upbringing, wouldn’t you agree?"
"You!"
"And another thing," Su Yun added angrily from the side, "you heard her! Go home and teach your son some discipline, and tell him to stop harassing our Xiao Shi!"
The corner of the middle-aged woman’s mouth twitched in anger. She knew, in truth, that her son had a crush on the girl and had gotten beaten up for it, but a mother’s heart naturally aches for her child.
Her lips trembled from agitation. "But she hit him! That’s a fact, isn’t it? Look at my son’s face! Teacher, is it right to hit someone?"
"Hitting someone isn’t right, but what my sister did was self-defense. Forget about settling this here—if you take this to the police, the only one who’ll end up with a criminal charge is your son, for harassment!"
The woman was dumbfounded. "You... What gives you the right to say that? Don’t tell me you’re some kind of legal expert?"
Qin Jiao smiled. "Yes, actually. I just graduated from the North City University School of Law."
The woman: "..."
After the woman left with her son, the homeroom teacher said apologetically, "I was only trying to mediate. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this."
Su Yun said, "Whatever the case, the important thing is that our child wasn’t wrongly accused."
Qin Jiao walked over to her sister, whose lips were pressed into a tight line. "Xiao Shi, did he manage to hurt you? Or... did he do anything to you?"
