“How could that be?! Our Xiao Rui wouldn’t fight with others. What happened?”
“I’ll be there right away!” Xi Xiaye frowned and said worriedly before she hung up.
She knew what her son was like. Mu Zirui had always been a quiet and reserved child. Something must have happened that caused this fight.
Mu Yuchen, who was driving by her side, had obviously heard everything she said. He frowned and turned to look at her. When he saw that she looked anxious and pale, his heart sank as he consoled her, “Don’t be too worried first. Since they are at the infirmary, then it shouldn’t be too serious. Let’s go over and take a look first.”
Then, he stepped on the accelerator.
When they reached the school’s infirmary, school had ended, so the school grounds were empty. Once in a while, they would see several children playing around by the roadside lawn. The gloomy sky made one feel even more downcast.
Inside the infirmary, Mu Zirui was sitting on the long, wooden sofa. The doctor, who was dressed in a white coat, was cleaning and disinfecting his wound while Mu Zirui’s little face was all tensed up as he endured the stinging with a pale expression. Across him was an equally young boy who had the same wound on his leg as the one on Mu Zirui’s arm. It was a pretty long scar. The little boy was currently bawling loudly while his parents stood beside him. The husband and wife were dressed in bright-colored clothes, and you could tell that they were not ordinary people.
The little boy’s father hugged the little boy while the mother glared coldly at Mu Zirui and said terrible things from time to time.
“Where did this wild child come from? How do your parents educate you? Already knowing how to hit people at such a young age, and even hurting our Xiao Lin so badly! What’s wrong with this school? Didn’t you say only good quality students can enter? Look at the kind of students you’ve enrolled! How upsetting!”
“Madam Lin, please watch what you say. This whole incident isn’t Xiao Rui’s responsibility alone. If you want to talk about who’s wrong…”
Teacher Wang, who stood by Mu Zirui’s side, could not bear to keep listening to this. In fact, she knew about Mu Zirui’s background, so she was quite worried about letting this woman just recklessly scold him.
“Enough! You should be counting your blessings that we’re not going after you as the class teacher. How dare you spew nonsense? It was this little brat that pushed my son down the stairs. What’s it got to do with my son? If my son’s leg is disfigured or if anything else happens, I won’t let you all off!”
Once Madam Lin spoke a little louder, the soft sounds of crying came through too.
When they followed the sound, they noticed that behind the bench that Mu Zirui sat on, Qi Weier’s eyes were flickering with tears as she looked at Madam Lin fearfully. Beside her were Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha consoling her gently.
Qi Weier had a bandage on her forehead, and her pale face had a slight graze. There was also a scrape on her arm.
“I didn’t touch him. He fell down the stairs by himself and even crashed into Qi Weier. Don’t think that just cause there are many of you that you can bully me. I’m not afraid!” Mu Zirui gritted his teeth to endure the pain of the needle as he defended himself.
“Oh, wow, still want to quibble, do you? Our Xiao Lin says that it was you who pushed him, yet you still won’t admit it? Our Xiao Lin has never lied before. Who are your parents? How did they raise a child like this? Since you’re wrong, you have to humbly admit to your mistakes. Didn’t they teach you that?”
Mu Zirui’s pale little face was red with anger now!
However, he did not want to reveal who his parents were. His father had mentioned that he could not reveal his identity too much at school and that he should be a low-profiled and cultured person.
The little guy thought about it, then he said coldly, “You don’t deserve to know who my parents are! I’m not afraid of you since I wasn’t in the wrong. Qi Weier, you’re trying to drag me into this again. I really hate you! You only know how to cry. I don’t want to be your friend!”
When Qi Weier heard that, she wailed even louder. Qi Feng could not help but frown and look at the haughty Mu Zirui. Damn it! He could actually see shadows of Mu Yuchen in this little guy!
“Why are you talking like that, child? Can’t you see that Weiwei’s already crying so much? Are you bullying people now? I think you’re probably the one who’s behind all of this!”
Gu Lingsha was upset to see Mu Zirui act like this, so she glared coldly at him and then continued to coax Qi Weier.
“I didn’t! It was she who kept following me around and pulled me into this. Lin Xiao Lin pushed her!”
“I think it was you!”
“Not me! I hate you all. You’re accusing me without even figuring out the whole truth!”
Mu Zirui’s angered and aggrieved face had reddened, and when his arm moved, the doctor’s needle hurt even more until he gritted his teeth. However, he did not cry despite his welling eyes. Xi Xiaye felt heartbroken at this sight, so she quickly rushed in without a care and pulled Mu Zirui into a hug.
“Xiao Rui, are you okay? Does it hurt really badly? Let Mother take a look…”
The long wound entered her sight, and his flesh was apparent. While the doctor’s needle was still stitching him up, Xi Xiaye could not help but get all teary-eyed seeing this.
When he felt the familiar and warm hug, Mu Zirui’s tense feelings finally softened, and he could not help but hug Xi Xiaye with one hand. “Mother…Mother…It doesn’t hurt that much. I’m a man. This little pain is nothing.”
Even though he said that, the moment he finished and the doctor continued, the little guy could not hold back the tears welling up in his eyes and they fell. Xi Xiaye could only hug him tighter…
“Chairman Mu!”
When Teacher Wang saw Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, she quickly greeted them respectfully. The husband and wife looked at Mu Yuchen and Xixiaye. When they saw Teacher Wang’s behavior, they seemed to have detected something and began to uneasily hold back their arrogance and threatening manner.
Mu Yuchen only looked coldly at the two people and hinted at the black-clothed bodyguards behind him. The bodyguards then knowingly nodded and tried to understand the situation from Teacher Wang.
Mu Yuchen was clearly quite shocked to see Qi Feng here as well. Should he not be staying in the office and thinking of ways to handle the current crisis right now?
