The principal looked at two boys and preferred to ask them first. Those were the victims, so it was better to hear them out first.
"This is the last chance I am giving you two. Tell me what happened," the principal warned.
"We were just talking to him in a funny way but he got angry and hit us," one boy said.
"He is psycho, I already told you, sir," the other one said, whose nose was broken.
"There won't be a second chance so think carefully," the principal warned again.
"It was just a simple teasing," the boys were firm on what they said.
Seeing these two boys being stubborn, the principal shifted his sight to Lu Lijun, who was sitting beside Jiang Yuyan.
"Lu Lijun, why did you hit them?" the principal asked.
Lu Lijun stood up from his chair, "They are right. It was normal teasing, but I took it seriously."
"What exactly did they say to you?" The principal asked as it was necessary to know to what extent these boys went for teasing that two of them ended up hurting badly.
Lu Lijun was adamant about not saying anything. He lowered his head for being guilty as he said, "I accept my fault and I am ready to get punished so no need to drag it, sir" said Lu Lijun.
Jiang Yuyan was sitting calmly as she observed two boys. She was sure Lu Lijun won't do it with no solid reason and the way he accepted it easily and didn't wish to tell anything, Jiang Yuyan found it even suspicious.
Though Lu Lijun was young, he was a righteous person, and it was hard to believe he was taking the blame on him because if he had beaten the boys then it was sure their fault.
The mothers of those two boys felt happy that it was not the fault of their kids and didn't let go of the chance to show off about their upbringing.
"See, I already knew that it was not my son's fault," the mother of the one boy said.
The mother of the other boy agreed, "Right! My son is not like that either."
She then looked at Jiang Yuyan, "Mrs. Lu, being a guardian you should look after him really well. We said nothing because we know he just lost his brother and must be out of his mind."
Jiang Yuyan stared at the woman the way she said her last words but still maintained her calm, which these women took as they were right, and Jiang Yuyan accepted her defeat. These women continued talking further one by one while Jiang Yuyan was calmly listening to these them, not saying anything. Her focus was just on Lu Lijun.
"I agree with you," the other woman added as she looked at Jiang Yuyan. "I know it's difficult to handle kids, Mrs. Lu, but we can guide you if you want as we have raised our kids really well."
"I bet my son doesn't even know any wrong word that the kids nowadays use shamelessly. He knows how to respect others," the other one said.
"Teasing? they must have said something friendly but as we know how Lu Lijun was in the past and how easily he used to get angry, we can guess it was his fault."
"Why don't you start his anger management therapy with any psychologist."
"If not, we are always here to help you, Mrs. Lu as we know you are young and don't have any experience with the kids as you are not a mother."
"If Lu Lijun was my son, I would have taught him a lesson right away. See how well mannered my son is."
Finally, Jiang Yuyan felt like having enough of the bullshit from these two women and pressed her temples.
"Why should I punish him?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
"For beating others like this." one woman replied.
"Not just beating but if my son had said or done something bad to someone, I would have made him kneel in front of us and smack on his palm with the ruler right here so that he would remember not to repeat the mistake," the other one added.
"Yes, I would have done the same with my son." Both women agreed on it while one corner of Jiang Yuyan's lips curved up to create an evil smirk.
"I see, but I hope you won't go back on your words later," Saying Jiang Yuyan looked at her wristwatch.
Seeing there was no effect of their words on Jiang Yuyan, one woman turned to the principal, "So how are you going to punish him for hurting our kids so badly?"
The principal felt in a dilemma as Lu Lijun accepted his fault, but they still didn't get to know what exactly these kids talked about that angered Lu Lijun.
The principal looked at Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun, who were calm so another woman said, "What's there to think about as we all know he is guilty and it's our job to punish him so he won't do it again. We can't risk our kids' life here if kids like Lu Lijun are in the school."
Jiang Yuyan got the message on her cellphone. After reading it, she spoke, "Why are we in a hurry when there is no proof about the things and let me tell you, I do nothing without soundproof."
It angered the two women. "He admitted it was his fault so what's there to prove more?"
"Yes, this way you will spoil him Mrs. Lu and he would be called as the spoiled kid from the rich family."
"Wait for a minute and you will get all the answers," Jiang Yuyan informed.
Just then, there was a knocking on the meeting room's door and San Zemin entered the room. He handed over the tablet to Jiang Yuyan and stood behind her chair a few steps back.
"I have something for you all," Jiang Yuyan informed.
"What is this, Mrs. Lu," the principal asked.
"The way to know what happened exactly yesterday," Jiang Yuyan answered and asked, "I need the permission to use the projector here."
