Chapter 465: Chapter 465 Protective Mother (1)_1

"What’s going on here?" she asked as she walked in.

Shu Jiao had been a high school teacher for several years, and she had even taught graduating classes. As soon as she entered, her presence instantly overpowered that of the homeroom teacher inside, making her seem as if she had shrunk in stature.

The homeroom teacher, having only taken up the job in recent years, had not met Shu Jiao before, but had heard of her. Curiosity filled her about the woman everyone praised, yet she never expected to meet her under such circumstances.

When the principal saw Shu Jiao come in, he too was surprised, then greeted her with a smile, "Teacher Shu, it’s been a long time."

"Principal Lu, it’s been a long time indeed." Shu Jiao returned the greeting with a smile, "I should have visited you as soon as I returned, but my daughter has been sick and hospitalized these past few days, so I really couldn’t find the time. I hope you understand."

"What are you saying? Do we really need to be so formal with each other?" The principal shook his head disapprovingly, walked in with her from the classroom entrance, then pointed at Ruan Jiaojiao and asked, "This must be your daughter, right?"

"Yes, it is," Shu Jiao nodded, her face showing a hint of helplessness, "She’s just recovered from her illness, and the elders at home dote on her too much. I’m afraid she’s become a bit spoiled. I don’t know if she did something wrong today? If so, as her mother, I apologize on her behalf. We really haven’t disciplined her well enough."

Although Shu Jiao’s words were said with politeness, the meaning behind them tightened the homeroom teacher’s heart. Anyone could sense the displeasure in her words.

"That’s not true at all, Aunt, my sister did nothing wrong. It’s clearly someone else’s fault, but they are all blaming her! Just because my sister didn’t cry!" Little Fatty, always good at telling tales, was young and didn’t grasp the underlying implications of Shu Jiao’s words. He hurriedly defended, afraid that his sister would be wronged.

Ruan Wei also started explaining, "That’s right, Aunt. It’s not sister’s fault. It was Wa Yiting who took my sister’s place without telling her, and when we asked her to move, she started crying! This has nothing to do with my sister; she’s not in the wrong!"

Looking at the two anxious little nephews about to jump in frustration, Shu Jiao smiled tenderly and comfortingly patted their heads, and miraculously, they quieted down.

Only then did Shu Jiao turn to the older ones, "It’s getting late, you should head to school now."

"But..." Ruan Jie hesitated, worried that his sister might be bullied if he wasn’t there.

"Let’s go then, Mom," Ruan Hao, knowing Shu Jiao’s capabilities very well, immediately interrupted him, cut off his words, then wrapped his arm around his neck and pulled him out of the classroom. Seeing Ruan Hao and Ruan Jie leave, the other students pondered for a few seconds, then followed suit.

"You should also return to your classes, and remember to come find your aunt at noon. I’ve made a lot of good dishes for you," Shu Jiao said to the younger ones as the older ones left.

Ruan Lei and the others truly didn’t want to leave, but they understood that if Aunt was asking them to go, she definitely had a plan and wouldn’t let their sister suffer. They reluctantly left, looking back every three steps.

When the older brothers had all left, Shu Jiao finally approached Ruan Jiaojiao, crouched in front of her, and handed her the goat milk, "Have a sip, Jiaojiao. The temperature should be just right. I’m not sure if there’s enough sugar. If there isn’t, Mommy will add more next time." As she spoke, she tenderly tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her daughter’s ear, her eyes filled with warmth and indulgence.
