The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 339 - 329: Another Beating

Last night, Jiang Yiyi came back and said that the teacher had rearranged her seat, and Lu Jingqiu thought that the matter was settled, but the next day—

When Jiang Yiyi returned that evening, there was a red swelling on the right side of her face. Only after asking did Lu Jingqiu learn that the arrogant classmate’s parent had gone to the school and, without a word, slapped her across the face. The teacher hadn’t been able to stop it.

Lu Jingqiu pursed her lips, trying to stay calm, and asked with a frown, "Ask your homeroom teacher to call your classmate’s parents tomorrow. Tell them I will come to the school in the afternoon to seek justice for you. If they don’t show up, I will call the police directly."

Jiang Yiyi clutched the hem of her clothes and said, "Sister-in-law Jingqiu, let’s just forget it."

From the side, Shen Mu chimed in, "Yiyi girl, we can’t just let this go. Today she saw that you’re silent and willing to keep the peace, tomorrow she’ll become even more arrogant. We can’t fuel her fire. Sister-in-law, I’ll go with Yiyi to the school tomorrow and talk to her teacher in person. I’ll go over in the afternoon."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jingqiu said, "Alright, I’ll take Xinyue’s car tomorrow. You go to Yiyi’s school and let her teacher know, but I’ll still be the one to go in the afternoon. After all, I’ve already been there once."

"That’s not okay. We haven’t seen that classmate’s parents, but seeing how they went straight to the school and hit someone today shows how brazen they are. If a conflict breaks out and you get hurt, how would I explain it to Second Brother Shen?"

In the evening, Lu Jingqiu cooked some rice porridge, a serving of stir-fried greens, and a dish of scrambled eggs. They discussed some school matters at the dinner table.

After dinner, Yiyi insisted on helping clean up the kitchen.

Unable to stop her, Lu Jingqiu let her tidy up the table but urged her to study right after, "From now on, you’ll live in that room on the second floor. Tomorrow, I’ll find a carpenter to make a bed for you. The room is small, so it can only fit a small single bed."

"Sister-in-law Jingqiu, I can just sleep on the sofa."

"How can you sleep on the sofa long-term? It’s not good for your health. Besides, we need the sofa to sit on as well. Go ahead and study. This desk was specially prepared for your Big Brother Nanzhou, and now it’s just for you to use. Your teacher said your Chinese and math are good, but your English needs work, so you have to put in the effort."

Jiang Yiyi pursed her lips and said, "I’m not very good at reading. Our homeroom teacher also teaches us English, along with Chinese. I don’t dare to ask her."

"What’s there to be afraid of asking about? She is your teacher, and she won’t be annoyed by your questions. Instead, she will think you’re a diligent and eager learner. Also, if you really don’t want to ask your teacher, you can ask us when you come back. Both your Second Brother Shen and I know English."

"Okay."

Early the next day, after the three of them had breakfast, Lu Jingqiu left early for Luo Xinyue’s house.

On the way, when Luo Xinyue heard that Jingqiu would have to ask for leave again in the afternoon, she was surprised and said, "Wasn’t it already taken care of?"

"One of the girls’ parents came yesterday and hit Yiyi. She was slapped in the morning and still had a red face in the evening, which shows how hard the parent hit her. Yiyi’s brother can’t come back, and I can’t just let this go," Jingqiu responded.

"To hit that hard is indeed excessive; you really can’t let it slide. That’s too cruel. I’ll accompany you this afternoon," Xinyue offered.

"No need, Ah Mu will be with me this afternoon."

"Then you must be careful. If there’s a conflict, dodge right away. Don’t get pushed over."

"Okay, I’ll be cautious."

Lu Jingqiu had to take another day off, and Professor Shi, out of concern, asked her a few questions. When he heard she was going to deal with her cousin’s school issues—

Hearing the name Yiyi, Professor Shi recalled, wasn’t this the hardworking young girl from his daughter’s shop?

Upon hearing that she had been beaten at school, without a word, they granted Lu Jingqiu a leave and even allowed her to rest at home tomorrow.

But Lu Jingqiu dared not take a day off, saying that if everything was settled today, she would attend classes normally tomorrow.

She didn’t rush off in the afternoon; first, she ate at the school, packed a few buns for Shen Mu, and when the time was about right, she went to the school gate.

Shen Mu had just arrived at the gate, and Lu Jingqiu handed him the buns, saying, "I knew you wouldn’t have time for a meal. Here, I bought these buns specially for you."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "I was thinking of eating after sorting things out, perfect, I’m really hungry." And with that, he stuffed a bun into his mouth.

When the two arrived at the school, it was almost one o’clock, and the students and teachers had just finished lunch.

Lu Jingqiu went straight to Teacher Li’s office.

Perhaps knowing that they would come, Teacher Li saw them and hurriedly took them to a separate office, saying, "Two parents, today we asked Yang Qingqing to notify her family to come after lunch. I’m not sure if the message was properly conveyed.

The incident yesterday involved Yang Qingqing’s aunt, who objected to the school’s punishment for the child, claiming it affected her niece’s psychology, saying Jiang Yiyi first stole her belongings in the dormitory and verbally provoked her, forcing her to retaliate. So, I called a few students to the office, intending to inquire about the situation, but Yang Qingqing’s parents slapped Yiyi as soon as they arrived. We intervened immediately, applied ointment to Yiyi in the infirmary, and since we couldn’t contact you, Yiyi didn’t want to go home.

We feel that the two parents should also avoid being impulsive when we meet later. If there’s a conflict between the children, let’s discuss it and find a resolution. Aggression is not good for the children, after all, they still have to stay at the school."

Lu Jingqiu said, "We also want to resolve this properly, but as you saw, Teacher, the aggressor is more arrogant than the victim, and they can’t even apologize. How are we supposed to resolve this calmly? You must have children yourself, Teacher. Nowadays, isn’t every child precious? Can we as adults tolerate it when our children are bullied? We hope the school will resolve this fairly and justly."

"Yes, yes, after all, it happened at school, and the leaders are taking this matter very seriously. They’ve instructed me time and again to handle it properly."

Lu Jingqiu didn’t believe this matter would be handled properly.

Before she could continue, a familiar and arrogant voice came from the door, "Teacher Li, have the parents arrived? Didn’t they say they were going to report it to the police? Good, I’ve brought my policeman boyfriend with me."

Lu Jingqiu was wondering who it could be when Yang Linghua, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, walked in from outside, and Lu Jingqiu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

At that moment, when Yang Linghua saw Lu Jingqiu, the surprise couldn’t be greater, and her previously arrogant demeanor suddenly faltered, her expression priceless: "You... what are you doing here?"

"Hmph, I’m the parent you were talking about. Jiang Yiyi is my cousin. Tsk, a Yang, huh? I didn’t expect to cross paths with an old nemesis here. What, wasn’t the lesson from last time deep enough for you that you’re causing trouble at the school again?"

Yang Linghua’s face darkened at Lu Jingqiu’s words, but it was the tall man beside her, wearing a leather jacket with a bit of a rogue look, who said, "So what if we’re being arrogant? It was you who made my sister face embarrassment in front of so many in the school. Don’t you see who..."

Shen Mu, standing nearby, didn’t wait for him to finish, and brought out his Capital Young Master attitude, crossing his arms and saying, "Care who you are? I say it doesn’t matter who you are. Bullying my sister is out of line."

At that moment, Lu Jingqiu suddenly stood up and, catching everyone off guard, slapped Yang Linghua across the face.

With a loud smack, the tense atmosphere in the room was paused by the slap, and everyone looked on in disbelief. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The man, whose identity was unknown, stared wide-eyed at her.

Yang Linghua had always known that Lu Jingqiu was violent, but she didn’t expect her to act so suddenly.
