Chapter 2209: Hear Them Explain

The expression on the sophisticated-looking middle-aged man’s face changed when he heard what Quan Jingyi had just said .

For some reason, Li Jianyue felt an ache in her heart .

Quan Jingyi glanced at Li Jianyue after he had finished speaking . He stretched out his hand and pressed her head . “Let’s go . It’s not your business, so why are you so eager?” he said .

Li Jianyue was a little annoyed that he pressed her head . “Do you think I want to? It’s all because you are too unpopular that everyone wrongs you . If you were good to everyone, won’t people believe you now? Essentially, it’s all because of your usual, troublesome behavior . Like now, for instance . I want to help you by explaining what happened earlier so that other people won’t wrong you . Shouldn’t you be grateful and thank me? Yet, you blame me for not minding my own business . So much for being compassionate!”

Quan Jingyi sneered but didn’t say anything . He turned around to leave .

“Wait a minute,” the middle-aged man called out .

When Li Jianyue looked back, it struck her that the man in some way resembled Quan Jingyi . Maybe he was Quan Jingyi’s father .

She vaguely remembered that Quan Jingyi’s father was the new mayor of Kingstown . He was called Quan Jingcheng .

Quan Jingcheng seemed level-headed and looked like a gentleman . Li Jianyue saw for herself the slap mark on Quan Jingyi’s face . If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have believed that this middle-aged man was responsible for that .

Quan Jingcheng walked over to Quan Jingyi and reached out to touch his shoulder .

Quan Jingyi stood there calmly . His body hardly reacted to the touch on his shoulder .

Looking stern, Quan Jingcheng reprimanded in a low roar . “What a bad posture . Stand upright for me this instant!”

Quan Jingyi straightened up . He turned his head and gazed at his father with a half-hearted smile . “What can I do?”

His tone was indifferent and carefree . It was infuriating .

If someone had behaved like that when she was talking, Li Jianyue thought to herself, it would make her furious, too .

As it turned out, Quan Jingcheng was cool about it . He gazed at Quan Jingyi intensely, guilt showing in his eyes .

Though his feeling of guilt was barely perceptible, it resonated with the people present .

“Why didn’t you explain yourself clearly that you did nothing wrong?” he asked .

Yang Zihao, his parents, and the homeroom teacher tensed up when they heard this from the middle-aged man .

It was a twist to the conclusion reached moments before that the matter was over .

The consensus was that Quan Jingyi bullied his classmate, so he must apologize to Yang Zihao .

But Quan Jingyi was adamant . He purposely refused to apologize . Worse still, he was antagonistic to the authoritative people in the room .

His son’s attitude infuriated the calm Quan Jingcheng .

Quan Jingcheng seemed to have had enough of that . Without saying a word, he gave Quan Jingyi a tight slap on the face .

Quan Jingyi tugged his lips, turned, and walked out of the office without taking notice of everyone else’s reaction .

It was after that exchange that Li Jianyue walked in .

The way Li Jianyue saw it, the previous conclusion was superseded by the new revelation . Quan Jingcheng, no doubt, attempted to give Quan Jingyi another chance .

Yang Zihao’s mother was not pleased . “Now you’re saying my son bullied him? But your son is so tall . How could my son go pick a fight with him?”

After taking it all in, the homeroom teacher quickly said, “In terms of this matter, I think there must be some misunderstanding . It would be better if we listened to how these two children explain the matter . ”

Yang Zihao squeezed the hem of his shirt and grew nervous .
