CHAPTER 215

"Who had the guts to bully my son at school?" Bai Renxiang was annoyed at what her son had said. She thought these things had been cleared out when he first started schooling there. 

'It looks like I need to talk to that principal as well as his class teacher,' she made a mental note.

"It was Yu Bao and Meng Jue," Bai Xiaojin answered.

"I think I should state this in the next PTA meeting. Those parents should beware of the child their children are messing with," she said.

"Relax, mummy. You do not need to bring it up at the PTA meeting," Bai Xiaojin shook his head.

"Why not? Bullying is not something that should be ignored. Or are you scared of the kids that bullied? Did they threaten you?" Li Fengjin asked.

"No, they did not. They would not dare?"

"Then why don't you want me to bring it up in the PTA meeting?" 

"Sigh. I don't want you to do that v3cause I bullied them too," Bai Xiaojin let out a toothy grin.

"You what? Wait, I do not understand. You said what?" 

"I said I bullied them. I did exactly what they did," he said with a proud smile.

"Really? What did you do? Did you punch them in the face or called them pig heads or-"

"Mr Li!" Bai Renxiang called in astonishment. 

"I told you to drop the honorifics," Li Fengjin smiled at her.

"Okay. But why should my don do that?"

"So that those they would stop pestering him," he answered with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Do not listen to him, my love. No fighting at school. You are not a hooligan," she warned him.

"I know. I know. But I hurt them with my words. Especially that arrogant and stupid Yu Bao," gr angrily stabbed a piece of steak with the fork in his hand.

"Easy there big man. Have mercy on the poor steak," Li Fengjin laughed.

"Yeah. So tell me. What happened? Do not skip any details while you are doing that, eat."

"Okay. You know my class teacher, right? His name is teacher Song?"

"Yeah. Yes, I know your teacher. So why about him?" Bai Renxiang said as she ate a little scoop of rice.

"So he picked out books for us to read and then excused himself. He told us to behave and would be back quickly."

"Uh-huh."

"After he left, two wannabees cane to my seat while I was reading. Yu Bao called me a snob and Meng Jue, the minion, asked if I was deaf."

"He has got some nerve as a kid," Bai Renxiang chipped in.

"I thought so too. But that thought went out the window when I mended them. I was like, you are the one with the bad memories. Why should I answer to a hand that is not mine?" Bai Xiaojin acted.

"Nice head starts," Li Fengjin complimented. Bai Xiaojin continued narrating the verbal battle that went down between himself and Yu Bao. Bai Renxiang was amazed at her son's maturity in handling such a matter. While Li Fengjin smiled proudly. Bai Xiaojin did as he had advised. But the both of them were sad that he had to hear such harmful statements about his mother and his unknown father.

"So when he asked if I knew who he was. I said, 'why are you asking me? Did your daddy not tell you?' The whole class laughed at him."

"That was savage. He met his match," Li Fengjin said.

"I am not his match. I am much better than him and his minion. Anyways, when Teacher Song cane in and asked, Yu Bao lied but Gu Mingzhe said the truth. In the end, Yu Bao and Meng Jue stayed behind during lunch break," he ended.

"It is good that you had someone to bear you witness. Remind me to get a chocolate bar for him tomorrow." Bai Renxiang said as she rubbed his hair.

"Okay," Bai Xiaojin agreed and merrily are his food.

"So are you still going to bring it up at the meeting? I do not want Yu Bao to apologise to me because I do not want to do the same either." He puffed his cheeks.

"I will still bring it up. I will also talk to your principal and class teacher about it. The next time I hear something like this happen, I will not take it likely," she stood by her words.

"But-"

"No buts. And if you are thinking of not telling me when something like this happens again, suit yourself. I will find out be if I can't, your grandpa will and you know that he is worse."

With that said, Bai Xiaojin could only sigh and shake his head. He pitied the next person that would think of bullying him from tomorrow onwards.

Li Fengjin was smiling within himself. He was happy that the woman he had come to love is a strong one. He liked her firmness in her words and he also loved her soft side. 

After their meal, they talked of other things, concluded their work and headed to their various homes. 

On their way home, Bai Renxiang was completely absorbed in her thoughts. She thought if how her son is suffering for her actions from her past. He is being moved at school because he had no father.

But what she saw today, made her think even deeper. Her son and Li Fengjin look so much alike. The man she had that night's encounter with had the same eyes as Li Fengjin. She was too scared to think that it can be possible that he can be Bai Xiaojin's father.
