Good Man Operation Guide
Chapter 119.3: The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (5)The guard hated Zou Le for lying and making him look bad.
The Headmaster was looking at Lin Shiheng and Zhou Chuchu, with embarrassment. The two were frowning. Having such a student in his school was really a slap in the face for the Headmaster.
Zou Le’s father, who was called to the office, was livid, repeatedly looking at the screen and slapped his daughter hard across the face.
“Did I not feed you?! You went and scammed someone out of their hard-earned money?!!!’
When he finished, he turned to Lin Shiheng and bowed deeply, “Mr. Lin, I’m really sorry, it’s my fault for not being able to teach my daughter well. I’ll tell you what, we’ll immediately refund all the money Zou Le borrowed, I’ll add another 10,000 yuan. I hope that you will keep this matter quiet for the sake of my daughter, she’s still young.”
His attitude was very sincere, but Lin Shiheng asked him a question.
“Your daughter is young, but my son isn’t?"
The other party, momentarily at a loss for words, could only awkwardly attempt to frame the matter in such a way that wouldn’t jeopardize Zou Le’s reputation, “She knows she made a mistake and she will never do it again. Besides, aren’t these two in a relationship? Then this money may be your child’s gift to his girlfriend. Children don’t know anything. They may have quarreled and had a falling out. I know my daughter’s character, she’s actually very obedient. Maybe she’s just...”
Wang Xuan, who had been sitting quietly in his chair, suddenly stood up.
Zhou Chuchu, who was always watching over him, immediately looked at her son with nervousness, “Xuan Xuan, what is it?”Wang Xuan looked back at her with a soothing smile and placed the notebook and pen he had been holding on the table to write.
[When Zou Le borrowed money, she told me that she had a family emergency and her parents couldn’t get the money. She borrowed money from me and would pay me back after a period of time.]
Zou Le’s father’s face dropped. He rubbed his hands together, knowing that it was inappropriate to say anything else, but still trying to defend his daughter. “I saw your family’s car when I came over just now, it cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, it would be almost a million; and this down jacket your child’s wearing, it seems to cost over 3,000 yuan. My Zou Le may have thought that money meant nothing to you. After all, you’re very rich. She’s a child who doesn’t understand things, and it’s normal to have a little misunderstanding.”
Wang Xuan had no intention of giving him face.
[l earned all that money myself, and when I gave it to Zou Le, I told her that it was all I had.]
When he finished writing, he looked up at Zou Le’s father, who was scowling, [Even if I'm rich, that’s no reason for Zou Le to scam money. It’s a matter of character.]
Zou Le’s father’s expression could no longer be described as ugly. He was already furious that his daughter had committed a crime, and now that the other party was clearly trying to raise a fuss, his temper was almost uncontrollable.
“Whose child has never made a mistake? You don’t have to keep holding on to a amsll mistake. My daughter has to go to school, if word of this gets out, how will she look at people in school in the future? How will she face her classmates? We’re all parents, can’t you please be understanding?”
Lin Shiheng looked at Zou Le’s father, whose tone had turned sour, and responded in a nonchalant tone, “You both are worthy of being father and daughter.”
They were all exactly the same, shiny on the outside, rotten on the inside.
Father Zou, no matter how stupid he was, knew Lin Shiheng was definitely not praising him. He looked grim and didn’t wear his mask of pleasantries anymore, directly he asked, “Just say it, what will it take for you to spare my daughter? “
“It’s just a fight between kids. I really don’t understand how you, as parents, thought of calling the police. Won’t it be even more chaotic?!”
“Mr. Zou is right."
Zhou Chuchu, who had been sullen and kept looking closely at her son, couldn’t help herself.
Zhou Chuchu had always been good-natured and gentle, just as Wang Xuan saw. She’s a gentle woman who does not lose her temper very easily, always respectful of the other party, and rarely confronts others in a straightforward manner.
But she was also a mother, a mother who wanted to protect her child.
She stood up, her eyes fixed on Father Zou, “Is there a problem with our ability to speak, or is there a problem with your ears? As you heard just now, when my husband and I arrived, my Xuan Xuan was wrongly accused of pestering and touching your daughter. He was pushed to the ground and chased away, and at that time, your daughter was standing by and watching.”
“After that, my husband came over and told your daughter that as long as she admitted to making a mistake, we would not blame her. It was Zou Le who gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, we only called the police to deal with it. If it wasn’t for the surveillance, my Xuan Xuan would still be accused of harassing her because of her words.”
Zhou Chuchu’s face was cold, without any of her usual good-natured demeanor, “You just said that we’re all parents. When something happens to my child, when my child is wronged, am I still a parent if I don’t get justice for him as a mother?!”
“We don’t need to discuss this matter anymore. Unless Zou Le publicly admits her wrongdoing, we will take the legal route. As you just said, my family has money, enough for a lawsuit against your family!”
When she had finished, she waved at Wang Xuan, who had turned his head and was staring at her with bright eyes, “Xuan Xuan, come to Mom.”
Wang Xuan walked over obediently, Zhou Chuchu took his hand and made him sit down, without bothering to look at Zou Le and Father Zou's ugly expressions. She leaned down slightly, looked at him eye to eye, and gently stroked his head.
“You don’t have to worry about it. Mom and Dad will take care of this and won’t let you suffer any more.”
Wang Xuan looked at the person in front of him without blinking. He nodded, but he was never willing to look away.
He was afraid, afraid that as soon as he averted his eyes, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, who stood up for him here and called themselves his mother and father, would disappear.
Lin Shiheng and Zhou Chuchu were certainly not going to go away. They had no intention whatsoever of letting Zou Le off gently because of her young age, and directly forced Zou Le to tell the truth and apologize in front of the whole school. Otherwise, they would file a lawsuit against her.
Zou Le won’t go to jail, but if they were determined to file a lawsuit, the Zou family would have to pay a large sum of money anyhow.
Most importantly, if they had a lawsuit, the story would spread throughout the city.
In the end, Father Zou reluctantly turned to Lin Shiheng, who just seemed better to talk to than Zhou Chuchu, and tried to play the family affection card.
“Mr. Lin, you are also a father, you should understand the mentality of a father who wants to protect his child. My child is only 15 years old, if she does that, how can she face others in the future? “
Lin Shiheng smiled empathetically at him, “I understand how you feel because I have the same mindset as you do.”
Father Zou was overjoyed and almost thought that this matter had taken a turn for the better.
Even Zou Le looked up pitifully at the man in front of her with a hopeful gaze, her eyes full of sadness.
Wang Xuan, who was sitting in his chair, also looked over at Lin Shiheng, looking over at him with a look full of trust.
Lin Shiheng had never failed to live up to that trust.
He slightly smiled again and continued in a calm tone, “I’m protecting my child right now, aren’t I?”
Father Zou ironically grimaced, and could only grit his teeth and agree.
The Headmaster who stood on the sidelines couldn’t intervene at all, nor did he want to. Seeing that the parents had talked, he then said, “Since both sides have negotiated, let’s ask the police officers to go back first, and tomorrow I will arrange for Zou Le to make an apology statement on stage before the whole school does its morning exercises.”
Zou Le paled.
This can’t happen! Everyone will know I scammed someone!
How will I face people in the future?!
She first looked at Lin Shiheng, who she thought was being nice, and then withdrew her eyes in fear after receiving a gaze that seemed like he was looking at an ant.
She looked at Zhou Chuchu with hope, but found that she was looking at her with disgust and disdain, as if she was something disgusting.
Zou Le’s eyes began to tear as she finally looked at Wang Xuan, who was sitting quietly in his chair.
She ran over and grabbed Wang Xuan’s arm, not caring how disgusted she had felt with him before, shaking his arm and pleading.
“Wang Xuan! Wang Xuan help me. I can’t make a statement, if I do, I’ll be ruined!”
“I know I did something wrong, I apologize to you. Please, help me talk to your parents, okay? There won’t be a next time, I’ll never do it again!”
Wang Xuan looked at the girl in front of him. She was so pitiful and so beautiful. Even when she was crying, she was beautiful.
It was this good-looking, intimate attitude of hers that made him fall in love with her so much and looked forward to being with her for the rest of his life. He even dropped his guard and handed over all his savings.
He used to, in his wildest dreams, want Zou Le to be that close with him.
While in a trance, warmth suddenly covered the back of his cold hand.
Wang Xuan turned around in a daze and saw that it was Zhou Chuchu was holding his hand, looking at him with tenderness and love in her eyes.
“Xuan Xuan, Mom respects your decision.”
Wang Xuan looked up again and met Lin Shiheng’s gentle smile as he said, “Dad too.”
He smiled too.
The smile was pure and unclouded.
As Zou Le looked at the smile with renewed hope, Wang Xuan just smiled and gently moved her hand away.
He took out a pen and paper, and wrote down two words.
[Go away!!!]
He would no longer be blind to Zou Le’s false intimacy as he once was.
Because, he already had the truest and best.
