Chapter 43: 041 Thank you, young lady, for disciplining my son [2 updates]
She raised her hand and delivered a strong slap.
The slap carried wind, obviously with great force.
The head of moral education was completely unprepared, startled, he said, “Madam Ying, let’s talk this over; don’t hit the child.”
Zhong Manhua was used to acting on her own and certainly didn’t listen.
“Smack.”
The slap fell, and it hurt just to listen.
But the person who got slapped wasn’t Ying Zijin.
Zhong Manhua, looking at Zhong Zhiwan who received her slap, was confused, “Wanwan?”
Ying Zijin casually let go of Zhong Zhiwan’s shoulder, “Sorry, my hand slipped.”
Zhong Manhua’s slap had not held back, and Zhong Zhiwan was utterly stunned by it.
Her tears came out readily, and her ears buzzed with the sound.
“Are you alright?” Xiu Yu couldn’t believe it, “Is she really your mom?”
“No,” Ying Zijin laughed in a low voice, not caring in the least, “Adoptive.”
“Wanwan…” Zhong Manhua became slightly flustered, “Auntie didn’t mean it. I apologize to you.”
“No, no problem,” Zhong Zhiwan said, struggling to speak; as soon as she opened her mouth, she cried even more.
She couldn’t hold back and, covering her face, ran off.
“You dare to hide?” Zhong Manhua instantly became furious, “You run away, fine, but you dare to use Zhiwan to block? Is this how I taught you?”
“Listen Auntie, you really are quite the comedian,” Xiu Yu stepped forward, blocking the girl, and scoffed, “You didn’t birth nor raise her, what right do you have to talk about discipline?”
“Even a dog knows to jump in the water to save its puppies, yet you come up here hitting people. You really are worse than a dog.”
“I didn’t…” Zhong Manhua started to retort but then stopped herself.
Correct.
To outsiders, Ying Zijin was just a foster daughter.
If word got out that her biological daughter was so poor in performance, she would lose all face.
“It’s only natural for a parent to discipline their child,” Zhong Manhua sneered, “And what are you, to think you’re qualified to meddle in Ying Family’s affairs?”
“Bang!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a water bottle flew past Zhong Manhua’s face, startling her to the point of collapsing onto the sofa.
Xiu Yu was taken aback.
Was she being protected by her father?
Ying Zijin looked up, her expression unreadable, “Watch your mouth.”
Zhong Manhua simply couldn’t believe that Ying Zijin dared to raise a hand against her.
Anger, sadness, and injustice surged through her at once, and with teary eyes, she said, “Who am I doing all this for? Isn’t it for you? Do you have any idea how much Ying Family has to pay because you hit someone?”
Only then did Xiu Yu realize why Zhong Manhua was there, and he couldn’t help but laugh with irritation.
“So,” she tossed her phone to the head of moral education, “now let’s just call Jiang Ran’s parents and see if he really wants Daddy Ying to apologize to him.”
Regaining his composure, the head of moral education quickly picked up the phone, which already had a number dialed through.
He looked momentarily shaken, too quick to wonder how Xiu Yu got Jiang Ran’s parents’ number, and hurriedly answered, “Hello, good evening…”
