Chapter 245: Chapter 238: The Parents Have Arrived
Upon witnessing Xu Miaomiao in tears, Chen Lidong immediately interjected, “Teacher, don’t malign us like this. We’ve done nothing wrong.” He forcefully suppressed his urge to lash out. Tang Yuxin had always warned him against reacting on impulse. Otherwise, given his temper, he may have turned violent.
Despite the strong urge, he held himself back. He refrained from using obscenities and kept his fists to himself.
Ji Miaomiao suddenly collapsed onto the ground, clutching her head as she burst into tears. This upset Teacher Jin.
“Teacher Song, they’re still children. Even if they made mistakes, they’re unintentional. Must you be so harsh?”
But Teacher Song continued to scoff indifferently, “I’m trying to help them. If we don’t correct them now and they end up pregnant, it’d be even more embarrassing...”
Her words shocked everyone, including Teacher Jin and the other teachers. That was completely over the top. How could she speak about children like that?
Xu Miaomiao, who was feigning tears, could not hold back her grief. She had never experienced such an insult. Breaking down, she collapsed onto the floor, sobbing and gasping for air.
The principal had remained silent until now. But at this point, he finally lost his patience.
“Teacher Song, remember who you are,” he warned. She was one of their best teachers. Though she could be competitive sometimes, she was skilled. But this time, she had indeed crossed the line.
Also, these students were brought here by Xu Yingxin. He initially hadn’t recognized Tang Yuxin, but once he did, he recalled her distinct fair complexion that glowed softly.
“Teacher Jin, could I ask a favor?” At this point, Tang Yuxin was holding Xu Sisi. She didn’t want to escalate the situation, but it seemed like someone was forcing them to turn it into a bigger issue.
“You parents are the ones to blame,” Teacher Song adjusted her clothing. She was morally right; she assumed the parents were oblivious to the situation, weren’t they?
“Do you know your child is in a romantic relationship at such a tender age? A child who should be focusing on their studies, thinking about attending university and their future is distracted by love!”
Xu’s father lowered his head and asked Xu Miaomiao, “Miaomiao, are you in a relationship?”
“No!” She felt wronged. What had she done to deserve this? She hadn’t even been in a relationship!
“There’s a witness right here! Still want to lie?” Teacher Song indicated towards Chen Lidong, “He’s openly dating in school, setting a bad example for other students.”
Xu’s father’s forehead vein twitched. Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao felt as though her heart had been pricked. She burst into loud sobs, clinging to her father. She felt indescribably wronged.
Seeing the drastic change in Xu’s father’s expression, the traces of a smile deepened at the corner of Teacher Song’s lips.
“You should control your child. If she’s dating at such a young age, how will she focus on her studies for university in the future...”
“Shut your goddamn mouth,” At that moment, Xu’s mother burst into the room. As soon as she entered, she heard the teacher, sounding like a clucking hen, berating her daughter.
“It’s your goddamn brother you’re sleeping with! Miaomiao and Lidong are cousins,” Xu’s mother moved to Xu Miaomiao’s side and shielded her behind herself. “What kind of teacher are you? Do you even deserve to be one? You twist the truth without understanding the situation. Have you no decency, no shame? How can you even call yourself a teacher? I’d rather spit on your face. Thank god my child isn’t in your class. If she had to see your old face every day, she’d lose her appetite, not be able to eat, and be unable to study for university!”
Tang Yuxin was stunned.
She’d never seen Xu’s mother so... fierce. Truly, it was somewhat terrifying. In her memory, Xu’s mother was always a gentle and virtuous woman. But she never expected her to be... so eloquent in her insults.
