Chapter 371 Discovering the truth
Upon arriving at the school, Song Qianyi jogged along the way to Sui Sui's homeroom teacher's office.
She reached out and pushed open the door, and what came into view was a mother and son sitting on the sofa. Sui Sui was sitting next to the homeroom teacher, glaring angrily at the little boy.
"Teacher Yu."
Song Qianyi greeted her and walked over to Sui Sui's side. As soon as Sui Sui heard her voice, she immediately stood up from the sofa and ran to Song Qianyi's lap.
"Sui Sui, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
She was concerned about Sui Sui's situation, and based on her understanding of Sui Sui, there must be a reason for this.
A sarcastic voice came from the side: "Your daughter won't get hurt. It's my son who should be injured."
Song Qianyi ignored her and looked at Sui Sui. After seeing Sui Sui shake her head, she stood up, took her little hand, and walked towards the homeroom teacher.
“Sui Sui’s mother, I need an explanation for this. Why did your daughter hit my son? Look at the scratches on his face.”
The boy's mother pointed at the mark on the boy's face and continued to argue with Song Qianyi, glaring fiercely at Sui Sui.
Song Qianyi touched Sui Sui's little hand, then turned to look at the boy's mother: "Parent, before the matter is investigated clearly, it's still uncertain who is right and who is wrong. Why are you so sure that it's our child's fault? Does your child have no fault at all?"
The two argued incessantly, and the homeroom teacher, seeing this, quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Please don't worry, parents. This matter hasn't been investigated yet. I understand your feelings. After all, you're bound to be worried when your children get into a fight. But, to be fair, Sui Sui started the fight, so whatever the reason, it's definitely wrong of Sui Sui to hit someone."
Sui Sui frowned and looked at Teacher Yu, loudly defending herself: "He was the one who took my book, threw it on the ground, and cursed at me first. He was the one who was wrong."
Everyone present looked at Sui Sui, and Song Qianyi's face turned cold upon hearing this.
“Teacher Yu, my daughter said that this classmate started the trouble first. I now request to see the surveillance footage before we take any action.”
The boy's mother stood up and looked at Song Qianyi with a righteous indignation: "Fine, let's watch the surveillance footage then. I want to see whose daughter started it. Teacher Yu, let's watch the surveillance footage together."
Under strong pressure from both sets of parents, Teacher Yu had no choice but to lead them to the school's monitoring room. After explaining the situation to the security personnel in the monitoring room, they quickly retrieved the surveillance footage from the day the incident occurred.
Two children appeared on the screen. The surveillance footage only showed the little boy taking Sui Sui's book. Whether he threw it into the trash can was unclear due to a blind spot in the footage. Afterwards, the two children said something to each other, and Sui Sui suddenly stood up and hit the little boy on the head.
The boy's mother, seeing the footage from the surveillance camera, pointed confidently at Song Qianyi and said, "See? You wanted to see the surveillance footage, right? This footage clearly shows that your daughter hit my son first. No matter what, you need to give me at least 100,000 yuan to compensate for my son's medical expenses and emotional distress. And I also want your daughter; she needs to be expelled from school immediately."
Song Qianyi reached out to protect Sui Sui. The surveillance footage did show that Sui Sui hit someone first, and the description of the incident was indeed as Sui Sui said. She believed that her daughter would not lie.
"The lack of sound in the surveillance footage does not prove that your son did not verbally abuse my daughter."
The door to the monitoring room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the person rushed straight towards the boy: "My precious son, how did you get beaten up like this? You're the one who beat my son, aren't you!"
The boy's father pointed at Sui Sui and glared at her. When he saw Song Qianyi next to Sui Sui raise her head and was stunned when he saw her face clearly, he was taken aback.
“Honey, what are you standing there for? She's the one who hit our son. You have to make her drop out of school today.”
The boy's mother walked up to the boy's father and began to complain, then looked at Song Qianyi with an arrogant expression: "Let me tell you, my husband is a member of the school's board of directors. If you offend my son, you can expect to be expelled."
Now Song Qianyi understood why this woman was so assertive, and Teacher Yu, who was standing next to her, had initially sided with the boy.
"Really? So the school board member's son was offended and had no choice but to withdraw from school. What kind of school makes that?"
The boy's father immediately changed his attitude and apologized to Song Qianyi: "No, no, how could we dare? This is just a child's tantrum. It's not like it's going to escalate to expelling him from school. It must be our brat who upset your daughter. We'll just pay for the medical expenses."
"What! Do you know what you're saying? It's your son who got beaten up, and instead of helping your son, you're siding with the kid who hit him. Have you lost your mind?"
The boy's mother looked at Song Qianyi and, seeing her cold and aloof face, immediately realized: "Oh, I know why you spoke up for her. This child is probably yours."
She pointed at Song Qianyi: "You mistress, you seduced my husband, and now you're trying to pin your infidelity on me! Is there no justice in this world? You two scoundrels, I curse you to die a horrible death!"
The sudden reversal of events left Song Qianyi somewhat disoriented. She distanced herself from the situation, saying, "Don't misunderstand, I have absolutely no relationship with your husband."
“She’s my wife, and Sui Sui is my daughter. How did she become the woman who seduced your husband?”
Ji Jingshen walked in from outside. Sui Sui ran over and immediately picked her up to comfort her, saying, "It's okay, Mom and Dad are here to support you."
He walked over, and the boy's father, seeing Ji Jingshen, dared not speak. He quickly pulled up his wife, who had been making a fuss nearby, and tried to signal to her with his eyes.
"Since there's no sound from the surveillance footage, my secretary happens to know lip reading, so I can have him translate what the two children are saying. That way, we can find out who's right and who's wrong in this matter."
Upon hearing this, the little boy hid behind his parents, too afraid to speak, his eyes timidly fixed on the ground.
Ji Jingshen pulled up the surveillance footage again, and the screen played the video again. The secretary read the little boy's lip movements and repeated his words. The boy was indeed swearing, and the swearing was very offensive.
The atmosphere became somewhat tense. Song Qianyi looked at the little boy without saying a word, and her expression wasn't much better. She hadn't expected the boy to say such harsh things, especially to her daughter.
Song Qianyi patted Sui Sui's head tenderly.
