Chapter 55: No One Is Allowed to Speak Ill of Mommy
Jiang Baobao shook her head helplessly; unable to bear shattering the child's beautiful fantasy, she had to agree, "Alright, when the time comes, I'll find an opportunity for the three of you to meet. Tiantian will definitely like Yanbao very much too."
She spoke slowly, yet in her mind, she could not help but recall the words Li Beijue had left behind today.
Jiang Baobao sighed inwardly, a sense of unwillingness in her eyes.
Who said she had no chance?
Who said Yanbao didn't need her?
It was clear that Yanbao wanted a mommy very much!
Right now, it was Li Beijue who was guarding against her strictly, not giving her the slightest chance to get close to Yanbao!
She would definitely not give up!
Jiang Baobao cheered herself on, yet she couldn't think of any good ideas for the time being.
Another week passed just like that, and she still hadn't received a single bit of news about Yanbao.
She had gone near Li Mansion several times, but hadn't seen Yanbao even once.
Yanbao missed Jiang Baobao just as much.
In the morning, Yanbao was dropped off at the kindergarten entrance by Li Beijue.
Before getting out of the car, he couldn't help but ask again, "Daddy, when will you buy me a new watch phone?"
This was the umpteenth time he had asked over this period.
Li Beijue's brow twitched, and he said with a straight face, "You have a driver to take you back and forth every day now, so you don't need a phone. If anything comes up, just go find your teacher and have the teacher contact Daddy."
Yanbao blinked, his lips pressed tightly together, as if he had something to say.
But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back down.
"I understand, Daddy." He replied obediently and turned to get out of the car.
Only, the expression on his little face was somewhat regretful.
Daddy doesn't want me to contact Mommy, right?
That's why he hasn't bought me a new watch phone for so long...
Yanbao knew it clearly in his heart, and dragging his heavy little steps, he lifted his feet and walked toward the classroom.
But before he even reached the door, he heard the sound of Xie Zirui speaking loudly from inside.
"My mommy said! Most of those kids without mommies are because their mommies didn't want them anymore!"
Yanbao's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
Immediately after, he heard another child inside ask, "Why wouldn't they want them? Would a mommy not want her own child?"
A look of disdain immediately appeared on Xie Zirui's chubby face, and he explained even more loudly, "Because she's with another man! My mommy said this is called cheating! It means she ran off with another man! Then she has another child, so she won't want her original child anymore!"
"Ah... so that's it... then that kind of mommy is too bad!"
The group of children around them all sounded somewhat indignant.
Yanbao's gaze flickered for a moment, and he walked in with a straight face.
He was immediately spotted by Xie Zirui and the others.
"Hey! Li Xingyan is here!"
Xie Zirui seemed to have discovered something fun and immediately ran toward Yanbao.
Then he asked loudly, "Li Xingyan! Did your mommy cheat and run off with another man, and not want you anymore? Otherwise, why don't you have a mommy?"
"What did you say?" Yanbao frowned fiercely, looking at the little fatty in front of him with a cold expression.
It was the first time Xie Zirui had seen him like this, and he couldn't help but be startled.
Thinking that other children were watching, he immediately stiffened his neck and said, "I said your mommy, she is with another man..."
"Ah!!!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he took a heavy punch to the face!
Yanbao clenched his little fist, no longer his usual calm and composed self; instead, he carried a hint of ruthlessness, looking exactly like the expression Li Beijue wore when he was angry.
"I won't allow you to talk about my mommy like that!"
He yelled at Xie Zirui in dissatisfaction.
"Li Xingyan! You dare hit me! Do you believe I'll tell my mommy!"
Xie Zirui was a full head taller than Yanbao; once he regained his senses, he swung his fist and hit Yanbao!
Yanbao reacted extremely quickly and dodged Xie Zirui's fist, but his arm slammed into the corner of a desk, leaving a scratch.
The next second, Xie Zirui lunged at him again!
The two of them wrestled together, scaring the other children in the class, who all instantly hid far away.
Only a few of Xie Zirui's little followers rushed up together and started a group beating on Yanbao.
Seeing this, a few sensible children immediately ran to the office to find the teacher.
Upon receiving the news, the teacher immediately came to the classroom and stepped forward to separate them: "What is going on with you two! Stop fighting!"
As she spoke, her eyes swept around quickly, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.
There were some slight abrasions on Yanbao's little face, and his exposed arm was also bruised and purple.
The other children also had abrasions on them.
But the one who was injured the most severely was actually the tall and chubby Xie Zirui!
Not only was his left eye bruised, but his nose was actually bleeding too!
"This... Li Xingyan, did you beat Xie Zirui like this?" the teacher asked subconsciously.
Yanbao was just about to speak, but before he could, Xie Zirui suddenly burst into loud tears!
"Waaah... Teacher Li! Li Xingyan hit me first! I don't want to go to kindergarten anymore! I want to find my mommy! I want to go home!"
Xie Zirui cried heart-wrenchingly; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had been abused at kindergarten.
The children nearby also chimed in one after another: "That's right! Teacher Li! It was Li Xingyan who hit him! He hit us too!"
Teacher Li raised an eyebrow and immediately reached back to grab Yanbao by the ear!
"Li Xingyan! What did I tell you yesterday? I told you not to quarrel with your classmates, and now you even dare to hit people?!"
Yanbao's ear instantly turned red from being pulled, and waves of stinging pain shot through it.
Yet he still glared at the teacher with wide eyes, refusing to give in, and shouted in his defense: "Teacher Li, he was the one who spoke ill of my mommy first!"
"Where would you even get a mommy? So what if someone says something? That still doesn't give you the right to hit people!"
Teacher Li retorted impatiently, her expression toward Yanbao filled with a trace of disgust.
Children from poor families are just nothing but trouble!
Clearly just a bastard with no mother and no background, yet he won't even let others talk about it!
Yanbao was simply stunned by the teacher's words.
Waves of stinging pain also radiated from his little heart.
He had originally thought the teacher was still somewhat fair.
But today, that idea was completely overturned.
Xie Zirui was still crying incessantly nearby; annoyed by his crying, Teacher Li had no choice but to patiently comfort him: "Zirui, stop crying for now. How about I take you all to the office and call your mother?"
As she spoke, she took Xie Zirui's hand and then snapped sternly at Yanbao: "Li Xingyan! You come here too! Call your parents! We don't keep students like you who hit people here!"
"Sob... thank you, teacher..."
Xie Zirui didn't forget to thank her while crying, though a glint of cunning flashed in his small eyes.
Hmph!
Li Xingyan is finished!
Once Mommy comes, she will definitely teach him a good lesson!
