Chapter 68: Softening

After receiving the call, Qiu Tong hurried to the kindergarten next door, where the teacher was already waiting.

“Teacher, what happened?”

Qiu Tong asked anxiously.

“It’s like this. During class, Qiu Xingyuan had prepared some bottles and test tubes, saying that he was doing research on some locust pesticide.”

“But while some of the other kids were playing, one of them knocked over his test tubes, and they got into a fight.”

“After I found out, I immediately brought the children to the office. I also asked the parent of that kid to come. They are already waiting in the office.”

The teacher told Qiu Tong everything that had happened as they walked to the office.

When Qiu Xingyuan followed the teacher into the office, the parent of the other child was loudly scolding Qiu Xingyuan.

“How did the kindergarten accept a child with violent tendencies like you? I really don’t know how your family taught you.”

“I am his mother. You can talk to me if you want.”

Qiu Tong frowned and stood in front of Qiu Xingyuan, blocking the other party’s fierce gaze.

The parent sized Qiu Tong up. Seeing that she wasn’t wearing any branded clothes, the parent became even more arrogant.

“Let me tell you, I have never hit my precious baby myself.”

“But now, my baby was injured by your kid at the kindergarten. Not only was he physically hurt, he was also emotionally affected.”

“Not only do you have to compensate us for his medical expenses, but you also have to compensate for his psychological damage.”

“Otherwise, I’ll bring my child to the hospital for an examination and tell everyone that your child has violent tendencies. Let’s see if any kindergarten will dare to accept him!”

Qiu Xingyuan stood behind Qiu Tong, tightly clenching his fists, his eyes cold.

He had stirred up so much trouble for Qiu Tong this time. She would definitely not let him off. She would scold him or even give him a good bashing.

He would not be let off the hook, no matter what.

Just as the expression in Qiu Xingyuan’s eyes dimmed, Qiu Tong’s next words made him suddenly raise his head.

Qiu Tong looked at the other party’s twisted face and snorted.

“Sure enough, children do take after their parents. Looking at you, I can imagine how unreasonable your child usually is.”

“My son has always been respectful and polite. He is very well-mannered. If not for your son knocking over all of his test tubes and wasting all his hard work, my son would not have done this.”

“Furthermore, these test tubes and the materials used to make the medicine were carefully selected by my son and bought with money. They did not come out of nowhere.”

“So, not only will I not pay any medical fees, you will also have to compensate us for damage to our property.”

The other kid’s parent widened her eyes in disbelief.

“You must be so poor that you have gone crazy. It’s just a child’s toy. How can it be worth so much money?”

“He’s just a six-year-old kid. You don’t really believe that he can develop drugs that can be put on the market, do you?”

“I think you’re just bluffing.”

Qiu Tong snorted, her eyes full of mockery. “That’s because you are too stupid to see.”

“Although my son is only six years old, he is already very talented in chemistry. Even a high school student might not have such deep chemistry knowledge.”

“If you don’t believe me, I can take the residual chemicals to the laboratory. The facts will speak for themselves.”

“Also, you said that my son pushed your child and injured him.”

“I’ll call the police now. If your child doesn’t have any injuries, I’ll sue you for defamation and fraud. Let’s see which kindergarten would dare to accept the son of a fraud!”

Qiu Tong crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the ashen-faced parent before her without any mercy.

“According to the law…”

Qiu Xingyuan stood behind Qiu Tong, his eyes filled with light as he looked at her back view with a burning gaze. Qiu Tong’s stern voice sounded like heavenly music to his ears.

It turned out that she understood how hard he worked. She valued his experiments and hard work.

Qiu Xingyuan’s vision blurred.

The other kid’s parent clearly did not expect the seemingly delicate and weak-looking Qiu Tong to be such a tough nut to crack.

“Just take it that we’re unlucky. We won’t argue with you anymore.”

Not knowing what else to say, the other party’s parent pulled her child along and wanted to leave.

“Wait, you haven’t apologized to my son yet.”

Qiu Tong pushed Qiu Xingyuan towards them and said firmly.

The other kid’s parent had no choice. With a dark expression, she pressed down her own son’s head in apology to Qiu Xingyuan. She then threw down some money and left angrily.

Qiu Tong placed the money in Qiu Xingyuan’s hands and said in a gentle voice, “Qiu Xingyuan, this is their compensation for you. You decide what to do with it.”

Qiu Xingyuan hurriedly averted his eyes to prevent her from seeing the emotional turmoil in his eyes. He said stubbornly.

“Don’t think that I’ll go home just because you helped me. Give up on that thought.”
