The next day, Qiao Nuo dragged Qiao Chen to school. He actually wanted to persuade his sister to let him work instead, but in the end, she firmly pulled him out.
At a breakfast shop, Qiao Nuo bought buns and soy milk for Qiao Chen, insisting that he finish them.
While chewing on the not-so-delicate breakfast, Qiao Chen asked, "Sister, why aren't you eating?"
Qiao Nuo shot her a glare. "I'm too full from dealing with you to eat!"
Qiao Chen obediently lowered his head and continued eating. Despite her friendly and harmless appearance, those close to her knew just how fierce she could be inside.
At seven-thirty, Qiao Nuo and Qiao Chen entered the school gates.
This was a private Noble School. When they had sent Qiao Chen here, it was mainly because of the excellent educational resources. At that time, they never imagined that the Qiao family would face bankruptcy one day.
The children attending this school typically came from wealthy or influential families.
So as Qiao Nuo and Qiao Chen walked through the campus, it was clear they were recognized. How big was their circle? The news of their family's bankruptcy spread quickly; it was hardly a secret.
In the past few days, Qiao Nuo had been busy raising money for their father's surgery and hadn’t considered how Qiao Chen was coping in such an environment. Perhaps she should think about transferring him to another school. Children at this age often had a sense of vanity.
Moreover, judging by Qiao Chen's personality, he clearly couldn't handle such a stark contrast in social status, as evidenced by his fights with others.
Although she thought this way, Qiao Nuo did not voice her thoughts. She knew that Qiao Chen was eager to leave school, and if he sensed even the slightest hesitation from her, he would cling to her relentlessly, insisting that she take him away.
As they pondered this, the two of them had already arrived at the homeroom teacher's office.
Over the past two years, Qiao Nuo had seen the homeroom teacher no less than ten times, usually due to conflicts involving Qiao Chen and his classmates. In the past, the middle-aged woman had always been kind and approachable during their meetings. However, this time, Qiao Nuo could clearly see impatience etched on her face.
The expression on the teacher's face was all too familiar to Qiao Nuo; it resembled those she had encountered in recent days.
Thus, from the moment they stepped inside, Qiao Nuo understood that today’s confrontation would not be easy.
“Hello, Teacher Wang. I’m here on behalf of Qiao Chen to apologize. Where is the classmate he hurt yesterday? I would like to express my regrets,” Qiao Nuo said with a sincere smile, gently nudging Qiao Chen’s shoulder to encourage him to stop standing there so defiantly.
Qiao Chen stood there in a daze, unwilling to utter a single word.
Seeing Qiao Chen’s demeanor, Teacher Wang let out a cold snort. “That classmate is in the hospital. They’ve stated they won’t settle this privately. The other party has some influence, so expect a lawyer's letter soon!”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Chen became furious. “He was perfectly fine when I left yesterday! How did he end up in the hospital?” He pointed at the teacher with an aggressive demeanor.
Teacher Wang was equally enraged and pointed at Qiao Nuo. “Look at this! This is what your family has raised—a little tyrant at school who now dares to be rude to a teacher!”
Qiao Nuo furrowed her brows and quickly grabbed Qiao Chen’s arm, shooting him a fierce glare.
“I’m sorry, Teacher. It’s our fault. Qiao Chen is here to apologize today; please forgive him just this once. I promise he will behave and attend classes properly from now on…”
“Smack—” Before Qiao Nuo could finish her sentence, a figure rushed in and slapped her across the face!
Qiao Nuo felt a fiery pain on the left side of her face, as if her entire left side had been stunned. By the time she regained her senses, she saw Qiao Chen throwing that woman to the ground.
“Who told you to hit my sister!” Qiao Chen shouted, pointing at the woman who had just slapped Qiao Nuo, ready to retaliate.
Qiao Nuo couldn't think about anything else; she rushed forward to block Qiao Chen. She couldn't let Qiao Chen get into any more trouble.
“Qiao Chen, stop it!” She used all her strength to hold Qiao Chen back.
