Love You Till the End Chapter 1221 - 1218: Shi Mei vs Shi Keke (66)

Running through the red lights and speeding, Shi Mei and Shi Keke arrived at the school where Shi Aoju and Shi Tianjue were, eight minutes later, having stopped at a brand-name shoe store along the way to buy a pair of shoes.

This was an elite kindergarten, and the children who were educated here were either wealthy or noble, all of them having significant backgrounds.

The tuition for attending this school reached as high as sixty thousand yuan per semester, an astronomical sum for average families.

Teacher Zhang had been waiting at the school gate early, and when she saw Shi Mei and Shi Keke arrive, she rushed forward to confirm their identities before leading them into the school.

At this time, the principal was trying to calm down the emotions of the injured child’s parents, saying anything he could to persuade them to sit down and talk it over.

"Talk? My son was hit so hard that he has a bloody nose, and you want us to sit down and talk? Principal, it’s not that we’re causing trouble for no reason, but we spent so much money sending our child here to ensure his safety in life. And now just a few days into starting school, he’s been beaten black and blue. If it were you, you probably wouldn’t stay calm either."

The speaker was a woman dressed in expensive clothes, around thirty years old, somewhat overweight, and her loose attire made her appear even bulkier.

Though she was wealthy, her attire was somewhat old-fashioned, making her look quite garish.

Beside her stood a man about the same age, dressed in a tailored suit and wearing black-framed glasses, not particularly handsome but decent-looking with a good demeanor.

He was probably the woman’s husband.

"Mrs. Li, with such an occurrence, it is certainly a negligence on our part. When your child is in school, all of our teachers are his guardians, so we bear some responsibility. Therefore, on behalf of all the teachers, I apologize to you, hoping you can understand. Given that what’s not supposed to happen has happened, we shouldn’t simply escalate the issue but rather identify the root cause and solve the problem."

The principal was evidently someone accustomed to seeing the world, speaking sentences that were sensible yet shifted responsibility, maintaining a neutral stance.

"Since the principal has put it this way, we won’t make a fuss either. What I mean today is that we don’t want any medical expenses, because we don’t lack that little money. As long as the parents of the other party sincerely apologize to my son and us as a couple, this matter will be settled."

The man finally spoke, and comparatively, his temper was somewhat better than his wife’s, yet his tone was still very arrogant.

"Alright, I will try my best to mediate," the principal said. "How about this, Mr. Li, Mrs. Li; let’s wait until the parents of those two children arrive and talk. Meanwhile, please rest in the lounge. Once their parents are here, I will promptly bring them to give you an explanation."

"We’ll give you twenty more minutes. If they’re not here by then, there’s no point talking about this anymore. My son’s grievances I will find a way to settle, worst case we’ll meet in court," Mrs. Li said, snorting coldly, pulling her husband along as they walked swaggeringly to the lounge.

After they left, the principal raised his hand to wipe his sweat and sighed in relief.

Developing to this point, it seems the issue won’t be easily resolved, given that neither set of parents was easy to deal with.
