CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 298: I WANT MOMMY (1)

"You..." Liu Junkai was extremely angry, his upper teeth biting hard on his lower lip. His chest heaved up and down visibly. After a second of silence, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, "You’re the one with no manners! Your entire family has no manners! I won’t let you insult my mom. Apologize to me right now!"

"Liu Junkai, you mustn’t shout in the classroom. And as a boy, you should not bully girls. Didn’t you remember what the teacher told you before?" As soon as Liu Junkai’s shout fell, the teacher, who had heard the commotion, walked into the classroom quickly and reprimanded sternly.

"Song Jinxuan was also shouting in the classroom. Why didn’t you say anything to her, teacher? Is it because the man her mom found gave money to the kindergarten, so all the teachers are protecting her?"

"You fatso, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xuanxuan was also infuriated. She reached out and pushed Liu Junkai. Liu Junkai, completely unprepared, fell to the ground with a thud.

"Song Jinxuan, how dare you hit me!" Liu Junkai, despite being chubby, moved nimbly. He climbed up angrily from the ground, pointing at her with his index finger.

Xuanxuan did not mean to push Liu Junkai down. When she saw him fall, she actually panicked a little, and a faint trace of guilt crept into her heart.

"I didn’t mean it." Xuanxuan’s momentum weakened considerably, and she said softly, filled with apology.

"You did it on purpose!" Liu Junkai, not willing to let go, shouted furiously.

Hearing this, Xuanxuan became anxious again and retorted, "I said, I didn’t mean it!"

"You pushed me so hard. If it wasn’t on purpose, how could you push me to the ground?"

"..."

Xuanxuan felt very wronged. She wanted to explain further, but for a moment, she couldn’t find the words to argue. Glancing at the unreasonable Liu Junkai, she turned her face away.

"Why are you not speaking? Feeling guilty?" Seeing Xuanxuan’s silence, Liu Junkai’s round face showed a look of triumph, and he taunted.

"Liu Junkai, the teacher thinks Xuanxuan didn’t do it on purpose. Just forgive her." In this situation, the teacher was at her wit’s end and intervened timely.

"Yeah, exactly. You started the trouble with Xuanxuan in the first place. As a boy, you’re being way too petty!" said a little girl who played well with Xuanxuan, standing up for her.

"..."

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Liu Junkai fell silent. He lowered his eyes, and his fair, round face instantly flushed red. He deliberately avoided the girl’s eyes.

"Alright, everyone, go back to your seats and sit down." Seeing Liu Junkai’s momentum weaken, the teacher said sternly to the onlooking children.

Upon hearing this, the children gradually scattered and obediently returned to their seats, but they couldn’t help turning their heads from time to time, their eyes fixed on Xuanxuan.

"Liu Junkai, you too, go back to your seat." Liu Junkai stood still. Seeing this, the teacher raised her voice to urge him.

But Liu Junkai still felt a bit indignant, his cheeks puffed up with anger. He wanted to say something but, at the same time, his gaze met the clear, slightly displeased eyes of that little girl. His face turned red again, and shyly he lowered his head. Without waiting for the teacher to urge again, he silently walked back to his seat.

The quarrel ended just like that. The children continued to play happily and attend class, but Xuanxuan’s mood dropped to the bottom.

"Xuanxuan, let’s go play outside." As soon as the bell rang, the little girl who defended Xuanxuan quickly ran to her seat and said cheerfully.

"I don’t want to go outside." Xuanxuan said, her face full of sorrow, her voice full of gloom.

"But staying in the classroom isn’t fun! Come on, let’s go outside and get some fresh air." Lili grabbed Xuanxuan’s arm, encouraging her enthusiastically.

"Alright." Xuanxuan bit her lip and remained silent for a moment. Seeing Lili’s beaming face, she thought of her earlier support and felt a surge of gratitude, so she slowly nodded.

The playground was bustling; children ran and played joyfully, like butterflies spreading their wings in the wind, light and swift. Their laughter was crisp and clear, like the pleasant sound of wind chimes being blown by the breeze. However, the surrounding happiness did not touch Xuanxuan at all. She kept her head down, staring at her toes, immersed in her gloomy mood.

"Xuanxuan, let’s play on the slide." Lili held Xuanxuan’s hand and leaned closer to her, suggesting.

"I don’t want to play. You go ahead. I’ll wait for you nearby." Saying this, Xuanxuan turned and walked towards the slide at the edge of the playground.

"Are you still upset about what Liu Junkai said?" Lili had brought Xuanxuan out to divert her attention and cheer her up. But clearly, even outside the classroom, Xuanxuan’s mood hadn’t improved. For this reason, Lili felt a bit frustrated and asked morosely.

"How could I be happy when he insulted my mom?" Xuanxuan asked angrily. Just thinking about Liu Junkai’s contemptuous look made her want to hit someone.

"Yes, if it were me, I wouldn’t be happy either. Liu Junkai went too far. He spoke without knowing the situation!" Lili had heard Xuanxuan briefly mention the divorce of Song Guotao and Mi Wan, so she knew the "truth," but this was a secret between them and couldn’t be shared with others.

Mi Wan was the person Xuanxuan loved most. Hearing others call her a bad woman filled Xuanxuan’s heart with immense anger and dissatisfaction. Her mom was beautiful and kind, not at all what they said! Besides Liu Junkai, Xuanxuan had also heard other kids secretly badmouthing her and her mom. She was very angry but couldn’t shut their mouths, so after arguing with them, she could only sulk by herself. Now, with someone she could confide in standing by her side, Xuanxuan poured out all the words she had been holding in, "My mom didn’t do anything wrong. Why do they say these things? Mr. Ji likes my mom a lot and likes me, too. He is very good to us, so my mom and I both like him. This is our family’s business. We’re happy, so why do they care?"

"Of course, it’s none of their business. And we kids shouldn’t discuss adult matters." Lili agreed earnestly.

Hearing this, Xuanxuan’s eyes brightened, but soon the light in her eyes dimmed, "Why can’t they think like you?"

"Actually, you don’t need to think so much. My mom says some things don’t matter what others think, because we can’t please everyone."

Xuanxuan understood this principle, but she really couldn’t help caring about what others said because the person being slandered was her mom, the one she loved the most!
