Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Check the Surveillance

Teacher Huang was caught off guard by Ye Zhenzhen’s question, her gaze darting as she moved her lips, "An Ruilin didn’t cry or make a fuss, he was fine, I don’t think we need to call him over."

Ye Zhenzhen slightly raised an eyebrow, her phoenix eyes sharp as she attentively watched every slight change on the teacher’s face...

Song Yuchen looked up with his little head and said loudly, "Mom, we didn’t beat up An Ruilin until he couldn’t get up. It was An Ruilin who hit Shu Siyu and I went to help, then he pushed me down and even tore up our picture..."

The little guy’s voice trailed off as he spoke.

He glanced at the teacher with fear and forcefully repressed the rest of what he was about to say.

Ye Zhenzhen lowered her head and saw Xiao Chen stealthily hiding behind her, those extremely cautious eyes making her feel an inexplicable ache in her heart.

She immediately squatted down and continued to ask, "What else? Xiao Chen, keep going."

Song Yuchen slightly looked up at Teacher Huang standing in front of him, paused and said, "There’s nothing else, Mom..."

He didn’t want to continue because he feared that Ye Zhenzhen would be sad after hearing these words.

Earlier, the teacher had called Ye Zhenzhen an evil stepmother and mentioned that many people online were cursing her. Everyone was saying Ye Zhenzhen was bad and malevolent, claiming she deliberately let him bring Xiao Yi’s photo to school to bring misfortune upon him.

He did not believe Ye Zhenzhen was that kind of person.

He had even retorted to the teacher earlier, saying that Ye Zhenzhen was a good stepmother, and the teacher had scolded him for it, so when he saw Ye Zhenzhen, he cried very sadly.

On one hand, he felt very secure since Ye Zhenzhen came.

On the other hand, he truly did not want Ye Zhenzhen to be like what the teacher had said, being cursed online...

Shu Siyu stood by with a determined tone, adding, "Auntie, the teacher also said to not follow the evil stepmother’s bad example, calling the stepmother an evil stepmother who deliberately gave the photo to Xiao Chen to bring to school to show off..."

Ye Zhenzhen’s eyebrows shot up, her inner anger surging...

"You two kids stop talking nonsense!" Teacher Huang interrupted Shu Siyu’s words, her eyes slightly fierce as she glared at the two little ones.

Then, with an uneasy smile toward Ye Zhenzhen, she said, "Yuchen’s mom, the kids are too young, their words are innocent, you can’t take what they say seriously,"

Startled by Teacher Huang’s shout, Shu Siyu quickly pulled Song Yuchen behind Ye Zhenzhen, "Auntie, we’re not talking nonsense, what we’re saying is true."

Shu Siyu had felt from the moment he saw Ye Zhenzhen that Song Yuchen’s stepmother was not the slightest bit evil, but rather nice.

Song Yuchen’s fair little face was filled with concern as he looked up, observing the changes on Ye Zhenzhen’s face, thinking that anyone would be sad to hear others talking behind their back, and he did not want Ye Zhenzhen to be sad.

"Hmph!" Ye Zhenzhen let out a cold laugh, her eyes icily glaring at Teacher Huang, who wore a guilty expression. Her instincts told her that this teacher was up to no good.

Anyone could call her ’evil stepmother,’ but what she could not stand was that this teacher was insinuating behind her back to Xiao Chen that she was the evil stepmother!

Ye Zhenzhen suppressed the anger in her heart, her eyes smiling tenderly, she gently patted Shu Siyu’s arm, "You two little ones, I need to have a one-on-one talk with the teacher, how about I take you guys out first?"

As she spoke, Ye Zhenzhen brushed Shu Siyu’s elbow, causing the little one to hiss out in pain, "Hiss~!"

Shu Siyu’s fair little face immediately contorted, his little brows nearly furrowing together, his clear eyes brimming with tears.

Ye Zhenzhen gently pulled Shu Siyu’s arm, lifting the sleeve of his arm, only to see the little guy’s fair and plump left elbow swollen red with a small bump.

She asked the little one to move his arm, then gently felt it, thankfully, it wasn’t dislocated.

Ye Zhenzhen then gently lead Xiao Chen to her side, her face full of concern, she asked, "Xiao Chen, are you hurt anywhere, does anywhere hurt?"

While speaking, Ye Zhenzhen had already pulled up the sleeve on Xiao Chen’s arm to inspect it, carefully examining it all around, Xiao Chen’s right elbow had a little bruise.

Although it was far less severe than Shu Siyu’s injuries, Ye Zhenzhen’s heart ached to see it.

Ye Zhenzhen’s frown deepened as she asked in a hushed, gentle voice, "Did An Ruilin cause these injuries on your arms?"

Both little guys shook their heads simultaneously, looking utterly confused; they themselves had no idea how they had gotten hurt.

Teacher Huang: "They fell on their own!"

Her interjection was out of fear that Shu Siyu might reveal the truth shortly...

Hearing Teacher Huang’s quick response, a chill formed in the depths of Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes. She struggled to restrain the anger in her heart, preventing herself from losing control in front of the children, "I’ll take you two out first, is it alright for you little guys to wait for me outside?"

Shu Siyu and Xiao Chen nodded at the same time, "Alright."

Once outside the classroom, Ye Zhenzhen handed the two little guys over to the life teacher who had welcomed her when she entered the school.

Afterward, Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the surveillance camera on the hallway ceiling. In such a top-tier kindergarten, would the surveillance be under maintenance during the school term?

Who would believe that?

Ye Zhenzhen took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Da Mi: "I need all of Song Yuchen’s surveillance footage today in Class 2-3 of the Linjiang District Bilingual International Kindergarten immediately."

Da Mi: "OK, give me three minutes."

Ye Zhenzhen: "Best if you can pinpoint the part where the conflict with others happened."

Da Mi: "OK!"

Da Mi was very efficient; before Ye Zhenzhen could even reach Teacher Huang’s office door, she had already received a message back from Da Mi...

As she opened the video, her expression darkened further with each moment she watched;

In the video, the children were heading towards the nap room one after another.

Shu Siyu’s bed was in the middle, with Xiao Chen and An Ruilin’s beds on either side. Shu Siyu, with a smile on his face, was talking to Xiao Chen while holding a photo.

Suddenly, An Ruilin dashed between them, snatched the photo from Shu Siyu’s hand, and ran off, with Shu Siyu and Xiao Chen chasing after him.

Shu Siyu grabbed An Ruilin’s arm, demanding the photo’s return. Not only did An Ruilin refuse to give it back, but he also stuck his tongue out at Shu Siyu, using his height and size advantage to shove Shu Siyu to the ground with a backhand push.

Xiao Chen came up too, telling An Ruilin to return the photo.

An Ruilin, holding the photo triumphantly before Xiao Chen, teased, "Hehe, I won’t give it to you, what are you going to do about it? Finders keepers."

Shu Siyu, getting up from the ground, pushed An Ruilin down as well, and Song Yuchen took the opportunity to retrieve the photo.

At this point, Teacher Huang arrived. She stepped forward and began scolding Shu Siyu and Song Yuchen without a word, taking the photo from Song Yuchen as well.

Seeing this, An Ruilin rushed over and knocked down both Shu Siyu and Xiao Chen, then started punching them in a circle.

Immediately after, An Ruilin snatched the photo back from the teacher. This time, he didn’t wave it around but tore it up directly.

Shu Siyu and Xiao Chen were about to confront An Ruilin right away.

To protect An Ruilin, Teacher Huang pulled at Shu Siyu, who was at the front. Shu Siyu lost his balance and fell hard to the floor.

Then, she grabbed Song Yuchen and dragged the two little guys into her office, one in each hand...
