Chapter 210: He bullied me
Zhou Feng faced Bai's mother's tough attitude; he also had no way at all, could only let Zhou Meng try again for a period.
After experiencing this setback, Zhou Meng seemed to really become diligent; besides eating and sleeping, she almost spent all her time reading and doing exercises.
But her foundation was too weak; although she had private tutoring, she still couldn't solve many problems; whenever this happened, Zhou Meng would shamelessly go to An'an for help.
An'an's temper was never good; after one or two times she got annoyed; whenever this happened, Zhou Meng would look at her pitifully, as if not teaching her was a heinous crime.
After that, Qin Xiao voluntarily took on the task of tutoring Zhou Meng; although he didn't like Zhou Meng, compared to what he had previously experienced, tutoring Zhou Meng was nothing.
Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya, knowing this situation, proactively told Qin Xiao: "If it's too troublesome, forget it; we'll arrange the tutoring."
Actually, in their hearts, Zhou Meng should transfer schools immediately; that would be better than wasting everyone's time like this.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "It's fine."
But they didn't know that fate had already planted the seeds of disaster at this moment.
Su Ruo knew Zhou Meng had some little thoughts, and could understand her jealousy toward An'an, but she didn't expect a little child could be so wicked.
During this period, after Qin Xiao's tutoring, Zhou Meng's grades improved greatly; although she was still at the bottom, at least she could understand the topics the teacher explained.
So, as soon as Zhou Meng returned, she proposed to celebrate; Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya considered it briefly and agreed, after all it wasn't an excessive request.
In the evening, both families celebrated together; Zhou Meng raised her wine cup and solemnly expressed her gratitude to Qin Xiao.
Since it was fruit wine, An'an and Qin Xiao often drank a little, so Su Ruo and the others had no objection.
Li Zhaodi signed two big orders again, both companies were doing well, so everyone was happy, and they ended up drinking a bit more.
That night everyone fell asleep in a daze; until the next day, they were awakened by a scream.
Upon rushing over, they saw Su Ruo saw Zhou Meng with disheveled clothes and Qin Xiao naked from the waist up, sitting on the bed looking dazed, obviously still not awake.
As soon as Zhou Meng saw Zhou Feng, she immediately wrapped herself in the blanket, crying as she rushed into Zhou Feng's embrace and said: "Dad, he bullied me."
Qin Xiao seemed to only just come to his senses, immediately saying: "I didn't!"
But the bloodstains on the sheet made his explanation and defense look unusually pale and powerless.
"Put on your clothes!" Su Ruo walked over and said to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao immediately felt wronged, his eyes reddening, but faced with Zhou Meng's nonstop crying and this chaotic scene, he simply didn't know how to explain.
His originally angry and panicked heart, upon meeting Su Ruo's gaze, instantly calmed down.
Qin Xiao followed Su Ruo's words, after putting on his clothes he stood to one side, his face showing teenage stubbornness and resentment at being wronged.
Su Ruo picked up the bloodstained sheet, brought it to her nose to smell; it wasn't chicken blood, it was definitely human blood.
Even so, making her believe that a ten-year-old Qin Xiao had slept with Zhou Meng was something she couldn't believe; it was too absurd.
Moreover, Su Ruo, knowing her own child, knew Qin Xiao would absolutely not do such a thing.
Zhou Meng, upon seeing Su Ruo pick up the sheet, felt a flash of nervousness in her eyes; only after Su Ruo put the sheet down did she relax.
Then she cried even harder: "Dad, he bullied me; you must stand up for me, otherwise I won't live."
Qin Xiao stared at Zhou Meng's back, his tone firm: "I didn't!"
At this moment, the coldness and hatred in Qin Xiao's eyes made Zhou Meng inexplicably shiver.
But after reacting, Zhou Meng cried even more fiercely: "Dad, I'm so scared."
What Zhou Meng couldn't understand was that she had been crying for so long, yet Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya showed no reaction at all.
Normally, when parents learn their daughter is being bullied, shouldn't they step forward and beat that boy to death or cripple him? Is that normal?
But Zhou Meng mistakenly considered two points: first, Qin Xiao's age—he's too young; although he is 1.5 meters tall, making him look like a little adult, in the eyes of normal adults he is still far from the age to do bad things.
Second, she mistakenly assessed Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya's feelings toward her, as well as their feelings toward Qin Xiao.
Like Su Ruo, Bai Xinya and Zhou Feng simply didn't believe Qin Xiao would do such a thing; since they didn't believe it, the scenario Zhou Meng imagined of him flying into a rage and fighting naturally wouldn't happen.
Seeing that she had cried for so long, Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya not only didn't avenge her, they didn't even offer a word of comfort; she immediately said through tear-filled eyes:
"Mom and Dad, do you not love me? After having a younger sister, do you no longer like me?"
"Why am I being bullied, yet you feel no anger, sorrow, or grief? Am I really your daughter?"
Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya's eyes flashed with a dark light; they also knew whether the person before them was truly their daughter.
But one day, Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya will know their daughter is a little angel, absolutely incapable of such malicious thoughts.
Zhou Meng watched, but Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya still showed no reaction.
At this point she could no longer cry, she said angrily: "Since you won't help me seek justice, I'll go find my grandmother; she loves me so much, she certainly won't just watch me be bullied like you do."
At this moment Su Ruo spoke up to stop her: "What do you want?"
Zhou Meng originally didn't want to pay attention, but at this moment An'an stood at the doorway with an icy gaze, directly blocking her path.
Zhou Meng's body trembled slightly; she knew she was absolutely no match for An'an.
She could only turn back and look at Su Ruo.
Su Ruo sat in the chair, expressionless, saying: "What do you want? Just say it!"
Zhou Meng again looked toward Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya, hoping to get a bit of strength from them, at least not let Su Ruo bully her like this.
But in reality she could only be disappointed; Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya stood there indifferently, as if this had nothing to do with them.
Zhou Meng felt hatred in her heart; she thought Bai's mother was right—these two had lost their minds and were utterly unfit to be parents.
Zhou Meng knew Zhou Feng and Bai Xinya were hopeless; the current situation was completely different from her plan, but she had no choice but to follow the plan.
Thus, Zhou Meng, face streaked with tears of despair, said: "He bullied me; I will make him pay, I will put him in jail!"
Upon hearing her words, Su Ruo calmly said: "You can't do that!"
Zhou Meng looked at her in shock and asked: "Why?"
