"Mom, wife, what are you saying? How could I be so irrational?"
Song Qiao shook his head with a wry smile, saying helplessly.
His mother-in-law and wife had always been this way, always preferring to de-escalate situations.
They didn't realize that it was precisely because of some people's repeated concessions that the aggressors became more and more arrogant!
"Brother-in-law, the other party is quite unreasonable, and they seem to have some power locally. What if you enrage him..."
"Hey, you don't need to worry about that. I know what I'm doing."
Song Qiao waved his hand, signaling his cousin not to worry.
Seeing this, his mother-in-law and wife, although still skeptical about whether Song Qiao could resolve the matter, were at least somewhat relieved, knowing he wouldn't act impulsively.
"Cousin, I have a client meeting at my company tomorrow. Let Song Qiao accompany you this time," Xia Yuqing hesitated and said.
Since she wouldn't be of much help anyway, she proposed not to go together.
"Xiao Song, this matter is entrusted to you. Remember to stay calm when the time comes."
His mother-in-law added another reminder from the side.
For the past two days, she had been treating Song Qiao poorly because of Yuan Jianan's matter. Seeing Song Qiao's attitude towards her family now, her previous negative impression of him had shifted somewhat.
...
Early the next morning, Song Qiao and his cousin arrived at Jun Jun and her daughter's school.
The two children were not in the same class. After Song Qiao escorted his daughter to her classroom and settled her in, he waited with his cousin by the door of Jun Jun's classroom.
"Mr. Chen, this is indeed an oversight on our kindergarten's part. Please rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation and severely punish the other party."
As they were waiting, the kindergarten's Dean Fang led a plump middle-aged man over.
Her face was filled with fawning, as if she was trying her best to appease him.
"Hmm, that's more like it. Dean Fang, after this matter is settled, I will donate a set of slides to our kindergarten."
Chen Yan nodded with satisfaction and said arrogantly to the dean.
"In that case, thank you, Mr. Chen." Dean Fang was so excited that she almost bowed to the ground, her eyes filled with proud joy.
She had a general understanding of what happened yesterday and had already investigated that the parent of the child who had an altercation with Mr. Chen's son was a simple, honest farmer who wouldn't cause any trouble.
At that time, all she had to do was subtly threaten them with their child's enrollment, and they would likely bow down and apologize to Mr. Chen.
"You two parents, come over here quickly."
With this in mind, Fang Xin waved at Song Qiao and Gao Min, signaling them to approach.
Seeing the other parent's attitude, Song Qiao's brows furrowed.
But he still took a deep breath and calmly walked over.
"Hello, are you Director Fang? I am the guardian of Lu Jun Jun, Song Qiao."
Before Song Qiao could finish, Director Fang impatiently waved her hand and said dismissively, "Stop with the useless talk. I already understand the situation. This matter is entirely your child's fault. You two should apologize to Mr. Chen immediately."
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Qiao's expression turned grim. He never expected them to be so shameless as to openly take sides.
"Director Fang, since you've already understood the situation, I wonder if you've also understood the extent of my Jun Jun's injuries?"
"Of course, I know. It's just some superficial scratches, what's the big deal? Mr. Chen's son has a concussion because of your child."
Director Fang said indifferently.
"Nonsense! Saying such things, are you even a teacher?"
Song Qiao could no longer restrain himself and roared at Director Fang.
She was the principal of the highest-quality kindergarten in the city, yet her素质 was so low.
"Presumptuous!"
At this moment, Chen Yan, who had been silent the whole time, also put on a grim expression.
"Your little bastard injured my child. Apologize to me right now."
As he spoke, he walked up to Song Qiao, his eyes filled with arrogance.
"Exactly. If you don't apologize, I'll have Lu Jun Jun expelled from our school."
After being yelled at by Song Qiao, Director Fang became somewhat enraged.
"And what if I refuse to apologize?"
Seeing their arrogance, Song Qiao's temper flared, and he stood his ground against Chen Yan without backing down.
"Brother-in-law, don't be impulsive."
Just as the two were at a standoff, Gao Min, who was standing by, quickly tugged on Song Qiao's sleeve, signaling him to calm down.
Song Qiao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly.
"How about this? Since both sides believe the other is responsible, why don't we take the children to the hospital for an examination first?"
"Pfft."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Are you out of your mind? Didn't you hear Director Fang already determine the outcome? Do you doubt the teacher as well?"
He then looked back at Fang Xin with disdain.
"Director Fang, the quality of students in our kindergarten is really declining. Are any Tom, Dick, and Harry allowed to attend school here now?"
Seeing that Song Qiao had taken a step back, he now felt that he had the upper hand and his words became even more arrogant and presumptuous.
"Yes, yes, it's our inadequate work. Please rest assured, today I will ensure that their family is kicked out of this kindergarten."
Fang Xin put on a fawning smile and nodded subserviently.
"Hey, did you hear that? I advise you to apologize quickly, or your child won't be able to stay in school anymore."
Song Qiao had completely given up on communicating with these two beasts in human clothing. He realized he had been terribly mistaken in trying to reason with them, not realizing that some beasts simply couldn't be reasoned with.
"I hope the two of you won't regret today's events."
Song Qiao said lightly and turned to leave with Jun Jun for now.
After all, they were still children, and he didn't want Jun Jun to witness such a scene.
"Hmph, you two hurry up and apologize to my child, and make this woman kneel and kowtow three times in front of the entire kindergarten, or I guarantee you won't be able to establish a foothold in this city."
Just as Jun Jun returned to the classroom, Mrs. Chen, having settled her son, walked over and said arrogantly to Song Qiao.
Upon hearing this, Gao Min beside him trembled with anger. She never imagined that the other party would make such an unreasonable demand.
It was simply too much of a bully!
