C98 Father Are You Free?
Zhou Mann frowned and said, "So it's these kids... They don't have the qualifications to be here. Since something like this happened, I'll go and report it to the school and directly expel them."
"Wait, I want to know who they are and see their parents." Soong Ruanruan was furious when she saw the monitor, but she was more suspicious.
Although children were not to be blamed for their words, those kids had deliberately provoked her at the beginning. Furthermore, their words were targeted and not like a normal child who would randomly quarrel.
Furthermore, An An was very popular in the school, especially after she knew that she had asthma. She received more care from the students, so who would deliberately provoke her daughter at this time?
"There's no need to go through so much trouble." Zhou Mann said apologetically, "This matter is the school's fault, so we will deal with it. Otherwise, how can we let the children go to school in peace if we can't even handle such a small matter?"
Soong Ruanruan frowned, "I don't mean to blame the school. I just want to know why those kids would say that."
Zhou Mann's expression changed slightly, and she sighed softly, "In this kind of school, there are actually quite a lot of snobbish practices. It's just that some of the kids are taught well and won't say it out loud. As for those kids... Their families are nouveau riches, and they don't study well after being forced into the school. Their quality is obvious."
Soong Ruanruan felt that it was strange. After all, if she was not allowed to meet people directly, there was nothing to talk about.
"Teacher Zhou, thank you for protecting An An, but there are some things that I want to ask in person. Please tell me the class of those children."
Zhou Mann gritted her teeth and said the class number.
Before school ended in the afternoon, Soong Ruanruan picked a time to meet the children.
The arrogant little girls in the monitor all lowered their heads at this moment, not daring to look up at her.
"Why did you say those things to An An?" Soong Ruanruan would not be gentle to these brats. Brats should use the brats' education policy.
One of them raised her head. "I-I was right. I didn't see her father at all…"
"Is that so?" Soong Ruanruan looked at her. "I heard that Grandma is the one who picks you up every day. So where are your parents?"
"My parents are overseas. They just don't have time to come back!" The little girl explained anxiously like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Soong Ruanruan saw this and asked the other children one by one.
The little girls were indeed rude. After Soong Ruanruan asked them, she also knew the general situation.
"Dr. Soong, there's no other way. Their parents either have something to do or can't come back. They didn't agree to meet you."
Zhou Mann had taught her everything she should teach, so she went up and said, "Why don't we deal with it according to the school rules first, then contact the guardian."
"Then let's do it this way first." Soong Ruanruan thought about it and walked out of the office.
At the door, An An and Fu Sui were waiting quietly. When they saw their mother come out, the little girl reached out to hug her.
Soong Ruanruan gently picked up her daughter and caressed the back of her head, "What do you want to eat today, Mommy will make it for you."
"Mommy can do anything." The little girl was obviously not in high spirits. She didn't even have the appetite to eat.
Walking out of the school gate, the black car stopped in a conspicuous position.
Soong Ruanruan sent her son to the car door and carefully reminded him, "Dear Sui, eat well. Remember to sleep on time."
Fu Sui hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
Seeing her son's hesitation, Soong Ruanruan encouraged him, "Dear Sui, what do you want to say? Don't worry about it and just say it."
Fu Sui hesitated and said slowly, "Five Friday, I want to invite Auntie to be a parent."
Soong Ruanruan was stunned, "Where's your father? Isn't he coming?"
"…" Fu Sui opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
If he came and left, or if he agreed and didn't come, then he wouldn't have agreed with his father from the beginning.
"Alright, Auntie will agree to it." Seeing her son's depressed expression, Soong Ruanruan immediately guessed the reason behind it.
Although Fu Jingchuan might be paying attention to the details of not easily breaking promises, in the past, he would definitely feel that it didn't matter.
Fu Sui's eyes lit up when he heard her promise. He then looked at the little girl in her arms.
He had asked Ms Soong to be his parent, but his sister was only his aunt. She wouldn't mind, right? She was already sad about her father's absence.
"An An, are you willing?" Soong Ruanruan understood her son's eyes and looked at the little baby in her arms.
An An blinked and said, "Okay, then we will be like a family."
Soong Ruanruan's heart trembled, and her chest was filled with bitterness.
Fu Sui waved his hand and sat in the car. He watched the mother and daughter leave, then turned around and saw his father sitting in the passenger seat.
He felt that his father had been personally taking him to school more and more recently. Although he was happy, he felt that something was off.
After a while, Fu Jingchuan's faint voice suddenly sounded in the car, "What's wrong with Soong Le'ann?"
Through the rearview mirror, he silently watched his son and that woman talk, including the little girl's listless face.
Fu Sui raised his head and said word by word, "Sister was bullied."
Fu Jingchuan's eyebrows twitched. "What's wrong?"
Fu Sui lowered his eyes and said softly, "Someone laughed at her. She doesn't have a father."
Since he was young, although no one dared to tease him for not having a mother, he could still tell from the eyes of some people that they were not friendly.
Perhaps there was pity, or perhaps there was schadenfreude, but he didn't want it.
The car was so quiet that Fu Jingchuan felt like he was suffocating. He raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. There was something in his chest that he could not vent out.
Fu Sui opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, are you free?"
He didn't want to ask, but when he thought of his sister's injured expression, even if his father was just a representative of the family, he still wanted to ask.
He wanted to let everyone know that his sister was not that easy to bully!
Fu Jingchuan did not give him an answer.
Fu Sui was not disappointed. He had expected that his father would not agree so easily. After all, his father was someone who would even break his engagement. If he didn't go, his sister would be even more disappointed.
...
In the blink of an eye, Friday's parent-child activity arrived on time.
Early in the morning, he saw his father in a suit and leather shoes instructing the butler at the hallway.
Fu Sui pursed his lips. He knew that he didn't expect his father to attend the activity today.
However... he had Ms Soong!
After reaching the school, rows of barbecue stands and picnic mats were spread out on the grass. Fu Sui's eyes sparkled. He was looking forward to today's picnic.
After the teacher had arranged today's entertainment activity, he searched for his sister's location.
"Dear Sui, come here!" Soong Ruanruan waved at him from the crowd. Fu Sui's eyes lit up.
However, when he saw someone among them, the light in his eyes faded.
