Wu Xiaonian had been Song Yujin’s homeroom teacher for more than half a year. He tended to be quiet and smart. Any regular school would be delighted to have him. However, Song Yujin was enrolled in a private aristocratic school. Here, money was the priority. Most of the children came from rich or influential families. Unfortunately, Song Yujin had a normal family.
In an aristocratic school, ordinary was equal to poverty. Wu Xiaonian had no idea what Song Yujin’s family was thinking when they enrolled him. The financial gap was evident. Would Song Yujin really benefit from this school? Perhaps it was a way for him to form connections at a young age.
During the first week of school, Wu Xiaonian held a parent-teacher meeting. She was in charge of forty students and thirty-nine parents gave her gifts. The hidden meaning behind those gifts was obvious. It was a way for the children’s parents to show off their money and power. Hence, Wu Xiaonian should know how to treat each student.
The only one who did not give Wu Xiaonian a gift was Song Yujin’s parents.
At first, Wu Xiaonian thought Song Yujin’s parents were too arrogant or clueless. Hence, she decided to talk with Song Yujin and familiarize herself with him. Wu Xiaonian found out that Song Yujin’s mother had passed away and his father was not in the picture. He only had his sister.
After that, Wu Xiaonian paid attention to Song Yujin for a period of time. He was indeed an ordinary child.
‘His parents probably sent him here so he can get a good education.’
However, Song Yujin really did not fit in with his peers.
Nonetheless, it did not bother him. Song Yujin was easy-going and even a little haughty. After all, he had the best grades.
Every teacher liked smart students, and Wu Xiaonian was no exception. Still, they were not in an ordinary school. In this place, grades were important but power and money still dominated everything. Even if some of the children failed their exams, they could still live comfortably due to their inheritance. An ordinary person would not be so lucky. The world was really unfair.
Wu Xiaonian could not afford to offend those rich and powerful people. Therefore, she did not side with Song Yujin even though he was not wrong. She could not risk losing her job.
“Did your sister send you here to fight? You should know better. What’s wrong with apologizing to Yu Nan? It’s just a few words. This way, his mother would stop making a fuss and you can continue to lead your life peacefully!”
Wu Xiaonian tried to persuade Song Yujin. She hoped that his sister was more reasonable and not as stubborn.
Song Yujin said calmly, “He was the one who made the first move.”
Wu Xiaonian felt helpless.
“So? He’s the one who got injured, not you. Moreover, he won’t stop crying. I know you’re trying to defend yourself, but you’ve gone overboard. This isn’t right.”
Song Yujin did not understand Wu Xiaonian’s logic. The aggressor was clearly acting as a victim. Just because Yu Nan cried, he was right? Of course not!
Since Song Yujin could not accept Wu Xiaonian’s words, he stayed silent.
Wu Xiaonian knew Song Yujin would not listen to her. She merely wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible. Additionally, Yu Nan’s mother was being difficult.
Despite everything that had happened, Song Yujin remained calm. He was not anxious or afraid. Thus, he stood in the office with a straight face. There was nothing he could do anyway.
Wu Xiaonian was having a headache.
