Chapter 317: A Messy Tangle

It was also while looking for the homeroom teacher that Su Yu suddenly realized she is still a child—a child just over four years old, not yet two months, and she doesn't have to be so "rational"!

"Teacher, teacher, help! Yesterday that person tried to poison me and take my spot!"

The homeroom teacher, still eating breakfast, was momentarily speechless.

She was already very familiar with kids' wild imaginations. She didn't expect that the seemingly clever Su Yu could also have such unreliable ideas.

Tang Can and Liang Yan stayed silent. On the way here they had been instructed by Su Yu to watch her performance later. If she felt she wasn't doing well, she would shake their hands, or if they wanted to help, they would shake hers.

"He might be trying to make amends and apologize to you!"

Among kids, the best gift for making amends is food.

Su Yu shook her head vigorously, "Yesterday I was scolded and had to forgive her; I really hate her! If it were someone I hate, I would never go over and give them food!"

Su Yu shook Liang Yan and Tang Can, and Tang Can and Liang Yan quickly echoed.

"Right, even if he cries, he doesn't get punished!"

Tang Can has cried after making mistakes, but it never works; when it's time for punishment, her aunt, parents, grandparents, and even Ren's grandparents will punish her!

He looks ugly and cries ugly; why shouldn't he be punished? Because he's ugly?

Liang Yan directly used an example from his own father, saying, "Teacher, if I were to tell all the teachers at the school that I saw you kill someone, and then I called the police, and after the police arrived I said it was someone else who told me, and the police found that person to be a liar, and I cried and apologized to you, would you treat me as a friend and give me food?"

The homeroom teacher: ……

This remark is enough to cause a heart attack just by hearing it!

If an actual investigation happens, whether her livelihood can be kept is a question.

"What do you want?"

The homeroom teacher, remembering the Principal's directive, fulfills any request from the three children.

"Teacher, could you persuade that kid to go away? I don't want to talk to him! Besides, there's an exam today; we need to focus on the exam and won't eat what others give us!"

Father says, when you're out, be cautious; eat the wrong thing and your life is over!

The teacher, thinking of the Su Family's vast estate and Su Yu as their sole heir, fully understands the parents' worries. Their family has no throne to inherit, but they have billions in assets!

"Fine!"

The request isn't unreasonable. The homeroom teacher finds it very easy!

"Will you come with me?"

The homeroom teacher saw that it was getting late; classes would start soon.

"Alright, thank you, Teacher!"

Su Yu trailed behind the homeroom teacher, mainly acting cowardly!

She wasn't stupid. If she went in first later and that person lunged at her, what would she do? Such trouble is better left to the homeroom teacher to handle.

As Su Yu expected, as they followed the homeroom teacher, the boy came carrying something, trying to lunge at them.

Su Yu hurriedly grabbed Liang Yan and Tang Can and ran toward the Principal's office.

Hearing the class bell, she didn't intend to stop.

The homeroom teacher, on her side, stopped the little boy and tried to reason with him.

"Student Sun Shirong, please don't disturb other students' learning!"

Sun Shirong, following his mother's teaching, looked pitifully at the teacher, "I just want to apologize to them, begging them not to take my spot!"

The homeroom teacher could understand the child's stubbornness, but this matter sounded especially distressing. Especially since Liang Yan had previously given her an example. In the teacher's view, not taking someone's spot = not killing!

Just thinking that someone would advise her not to kill in front of other teachers made her especially irritable.

Feeling overly empathetic, the homeroom teacher took a deep breath, glanced at the food Sun Shirong had prepared, and immediately called the counselor.

"Counselor An, there's a kid here who needs guidance; his perception might be off, constantly feeling other kids are trying to take his spot, yes, for two days now…"

Counselor An hurried over, and upon seeing who it was, felt a moment of helplessness.

"Yesterday the talk with him went well!"

Counselor An didn't understand. Clearly yesterday the explanation was crystal clear. The spot was never Sun Shirong's; it belongs to the school! The school hasn't distributed it yet, it's like a gift—the original owner hasn't given it, so the item remains the original owner's!

Since the item isn't Sun Shirong's, where does Su Yu's 'snatching' claim come from?

The whole school's student council competes for those spots through exams, but it's not 'snatching' from him; it's competing with the school!

Competing with grades!

"Please continue to guide him; family education is still very important!"

Sun Shirong's small body stiffened, and a flash of guilt crossed his eyes.

Counselor An, being a psychologist, could tell from the child's reaction that this matter was inseparable from the parents.

"Let's go!"

Sun Shirong hadn't finished the task his parents gave him, so he didn't want to leave.

He also didn't trust the counselor! His father and mother said they were all liars! It was to please the family of that swindler Su Yu!

"Teacher, I haven't given them an apology gift yet; I shouldn't have said it outright, I want to apologize to them!"

"……"

"……"

The two adults present remained silent.

The teacher who arrived later asked the other students briefly, but didn't say much. However, after Counselor An took Sun Shirong away, she took the class's homeroom teacher outside and said, "Class, if this keeps escalating, either those three kids will be transferred, or this kid will be transferred."

There are many teachers in the school willing to serve as homeroom teachers and instructors for Su Yu and the other two. Their families each contributed a special mentor fee, and the Principal allocated that fee monthly to the teachers who teach Su Yu and the others, as stipulated in the published regulations.

The teachers wouldn't turn down the money.

Therefore, the subject teachers gave the young homeroom teacher a slight tip, also for their own wallets.

The homeroom teacher tugged at her hair; she wanted to push the three little brats out, but she couldn't bear to lose the money!

"They don't know where they ran off to; I'll go to the security office to look for them first!"

The homeroom teacher still had a bit of confidence in Su Yu's intelligence, didn't hurry to notify the parents, and instead searched for their whereabouts in the security office.

After she found the target, she wailed inwardly, yet had to trudge up to the Principal's office with heavy steps.

In the Principal's office, Su Yu, Tang Can, and Liang Yan sat on the sofa, swinging their little feet while listening to a teacher the Principal had summoned on short notice to lecture, marking the key points.

The three children, at first glance, all seemed to study earnestly.

The Principal sat aside handling school affairs, as if the teaching sounds nearby had no effect on him.

"Principal!"

Seeing Su Yu and the others' teacher, the Principal naturally walked out.

"Is the matter resolved?"

"No, probably the parents are pushing, wanting to fight tooth and nail for a spot."

The kids are only in fourth grade, and I really don't know what those parents are so anxious about, having to cause a ruckus at this moment!

Good night, darlings~
