Chapter 58: Mommy is the Best
Jiang Baobao bent down, picked up the phone, and pressed the speaker button for her.
The next second, a man's furious voice resounded throughout the entire office.
"You bitch, didn't you say that man was just your cousin? I've already had all your assets frozen. Leave the son behind, and you can get lost! Don't let me see you again!"
With that, the call ended.
Madam Xie stood frozen in place, seemingly unable to process how things had turned out this way in just a few short minutes.
Xie Zirui was even more terrified, not daring to make a sound, and asked in a small voice, "Mommy... what did Daddy mean by those words just now..."
"We'll talk when we get home!"
Madam Xie snapped back to reality, glared viciously at Jiang Baobao, and grabbed Xie Zirui, intending to leave.
Jiang Baobao, however, blocked the path in front of them.
"You think you can just leave like this? You still haven't apologized to my son."
Want to leave?
It's not that easy!
Her son is not someone who can be bullied for nothing!
Madam Xie's footsteps faltered, her face instantly filling with malice again, and she shouted, "Don't push your luck!"
Jiang Baobao, however, remained calm and unhurried. She picked up her phone, tapped it a few times, and spoke as if it were a casual remark: "I still have some photos in my possession, the ones from when you were at the casino before..."
Jiang Baobao stopped at that, but Madam Xie's expression turned somewhat ferocious.
She had previously gambled away her family's savings and made up an excuse that she had lent the money to a friend for business; if her husband found out, it would likely end even more uglily!
Even if they divorced, she wouldn't get a single cent, and she might even end up saddled with debt!
Madam Xie felt a surge of spite, but she also realized that Jiang Baobao was not someone she could afford to offend.
With nowhere to vent her anger, she caught a glimpse of Xie Zirui standing timidly to the side and couldn't help but flare up, slapping him directly on the head!
"Look at the trouble you've caused me! Apologize! If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Waa...!" Xie Zirui immediately opened his mouth wide and burst into tears.
He apologized to Yanbao intermittently: "I'm... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have spoken ill of you and your mommy..."
Madam Xie asked impatiently, "Is that enough now?"
Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow, lowered her head to pull Yanbao over, and asked, "Baby, is this okay?"
"Mm-hmm! It's okay!"
Yanbao nodded obediently, looking very easygoing.
He was already very happy that Mommy had stood up for him!
Besides, this lady was in big trouble now and was about to have a run of terrible luck!
Seeing her baby nod, Jiang Baobao finally stepped aside.
Madam Xie dragged the inconsolable Xie Zirui away from the office.
Teacher Li stood to the side, feeling uneasy; thinking of the phone call Jiang Baobao had just made, she wished she could bite her own tongue off.
"This lady..."
She changed how she addressed Jiang Baobao, wanting to plead for herself.
But just as she opened her mouth, she saw the principal run in.
"Principal..."
Teacher Li instinctively went to greet him.
The principal, however, couldn't even be bothered to look at her; he walked over and stood beside Jiang Baobao with a smile.
"You must be Ms. Jiang. I've already asked about the situation; this matter is truly not Xingyan's fault! It's all a misunderstanding!"
Jiang Baobao let out a cold snort.
"A misunderstanding? My son was mistaken for a child without a mother, and the teacher thought it was just children joking around. The quality of your school is truly worrying; you recruit all kinds of students and staff!"
Her tone was devoid of any warmth, making the principal feel uneasy.
The principal was anxious; he had only just learned of this woman's background, and if he offended her...
His kindergarten wouldn't be able to stay open!
The principal composed his expression and looked at Teacher Li with dissatisfaction.
"Teacher Li, I have said many times that the character education of the children is the most important thing. As their lead teacher, how could you ignore such remarks!"
Teacher Li's face was full of panic; she no longer had her previous arrogance and hurriedly apologized: "Yes, Principal, I know I was wrong, I will definitely in the future..."
"There is no future; you have been fired."
The principal interrupted Teacher Li directly.
Then, without waiting for her to react, he continued: "The Education Bureau is also aware of this incident. Your teaching certificate has been revoked. This profession is not for you, and no other kindergarten will hire you again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other parents exchanged glances, feeling fortunate that they hadn't done anything to Yanbao earlier.
Teacher Li stood blankly in place, wondering if she had misheard something.
Jiang Baobao nodded with satisfaction, no longer in the mood to chat.
She bent down to pick up Yanbao and turned to leave.
But she caught sight of the little guy's red ears, which seemed to have been pinched by someone.
"Baby, your ears..."
Her tone turned icy, assuming it was the work of the Madam Xie who had just left.
As soon as she spoke, she saw Yanbao look toward Teacher Li, who was standing to the side.
A surge of anger suddenly welled up in Jiang Baobao's eyes.
"Principal, for public child abuse, what is the maximum sentence?"
She asked in an icy tone, scaring Teacher Li, who was standing to the side, into a shudder.
Teacher Li hurriedly stepped forward, knelt before Jiang Baobao, reached out to pinch her own ears hard, and then quickly slapped herself across the face!
"This lady, it is I who failed to recognize a person of importance. I beg you, as a magnanimous person, do not hold a grudge against a small person like me... please let me off. I have already lost my job; I cannot go to prison as well..."
From that one phone call Jiang Baobao had just made, Teacher Li knew she had the ability to send her to prison, and she was trembling all over from fear.
A flash of disdain crossed Jiang Baobao's eyes, and she couldn't be bothered to look at the person on the ground again.
"Principal, I leave this Teacher Li to you."
"Yes, yes, of course. Regarding Teacher Li's corporal punishment of a student, I will hand this matter over to the police to handle."
The principal accompanied her with a fawning smile, saw Jiang Baobao out the door, and also couldn't be bothered to look at Teacher Li again.
Yanbao nestled obediently in Jiang Baobao's arms, feeling incomparably at ease.
The feeling of being protected by Mommy is really great!
If it were Daddy, he might be getting scolded right now...
Yanbao's little hands gripped Jiang Baobao's shoulders tightly, feeling incomparably at ease.
Jiang Baobao chatted with the principal for a few more sentences, then carried the little one in her arms out the door and got into the car.
As for the principal, he returned to the kindergarten, and after seeing off the other students' parents, he saw Teacher Li still sitting blankly on the ground, her expression one of utter bewilderment and loss.
Seeing this, the principal's expression immediately turned cold: "You offended a big shot yourself; no one can help you. I have already called the police, so just wait to go to jail!"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Li burst into tears, her face still showing disbelief: "Who exactly is that woman? How could she have such great power..."
"What a fool! She is not just the mother of Li Xingyan; do you know who his father is?" The principal immediately sneered: "His father is Li Beijue, the president of Li Group, the biggest shareholder of this kindergarten of ours!"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Li's eyes widened instantly.
Li Group, the Li Family... who in all of A City does not know of them!
It's over!
She is finished!
She offended someone from the Li Family... her life is completely over!
