The next morning, Su Youran woke up early to send Little Eggshell to school, but she ran into Elder Nangong in the living room.
"Grandfather..."
"Great-grandfather..."
Both mother and daughter were wary. After all, they were quite frightened of the old man and the old man didn't try looking friendly either. But, he at least didn't speak too harshly, "Help little Cai Er change schools tomorrow so she doesn't have to run into the Mo Family all the time."
"Grandfather, Quan has always been in charge of Little Eggshell's education. You can speak to him about it. I'm going to take Little Eggshell to school now."
Su Youran cleverly brushed the matter off onto Nangong Quan. After all, he was the head of the household.
After receiving Su Youran's response, Elder Nangong did not say another word. He simply nodded his head and watched as the mother and daughter left. The rascal's wife and daughter were certainly cautious around him.
After getting in the car, Little Eggshell tugged on Su Youran's sleeve; at that moment, even the thought of Elder Nangong made her a little scared, "Mommy, why is great-grandfather so scary? Why doesn't he want me to go to school?"
"Great-grandfather's not against Little Eggshell going to school, he simply doesn't want Little Eggshell to get too close to the twins because of some adult reasons," Su Youran explained.
"Then...how about I guarantee that I won't talk to them anymore? Will great-grandfather not force me to change schools if I do that?"
Su Youran felt a little useless for allowing an adult's grudge to implicate a young kid...
So, she stretched out her arms and hugged Little Eggshell, "Little Eggshell, you need to remember that you're not doing anything wrong, OK?"
Little Eggshell dipped her head in disappointment; compromising in the end, "I understand, Mommy."
Whether she changed schools, was still a decision for Nangong Quan to make.
However, as fate would have it, Little Eggshell and the twins ended up running into each other at the school gates
The well-behaved brothers approached Little Eggshell as soon as they saw her and Mo Zixi even tried to talk to her. But, Little Eggshell quickly avoided them.
Mo Zixi looked a little hurt and confused, but Mo Zichen was indifferent.
The young man that took the kids to school turned to Su Youran questioningly and Su Youran explained, "She was scolded earlier today, so she's in a bad mood..."
The man understood and nodded his head, "That's fine."
Actually, not just adults, even kids couldn't handle this sudden change in attitude, especially since Mo Zixi was a brave and playful child. So, after being rejected by Little Eggshell, he was unhappy all the way until lunchtime.
Seeing that his brother wasn't saying anything, Mo Zichen grabbed a slice of cake from the teacher and handed it to him. But, even when he looked at the cake, Mo Zixi was emotionless.
When the chubby boy beside them saw the cake, he cheekily stretched out his arm and knocked the cake out of Mo Zixi's hand. This angered Mo Zixi, "My brother gave me this cake! I'm going to hit you!"
As soon as he said this, Mo Zixi's punch went flying towards the chubby boy...
For kids, this was war!
By the time the teacher arrived, the chubby boy was already lying on the floor with a bleeding nose. The teacher was so frightened that she immediately pointed at Mo Zixi and said, "Tell your parents to come see me tomorrow!"
Mo Zixi looked at Mo Zichen and Mo Zichen looked back at him indifferently.
Did she really want to see their parents?
Soon, the chubby boy's mother found out that her son had been hit. Since their family had a bit of power, she stormed into school demanding to see Mo Zixi, "You were the one that injured my son last time. This time, you did it again!"
"Let me go, let me go! He was wrong to begin with!"
"You have no reason to hit anyone. Let me tell you, I'm going to call your parents here and make them give a public apology!"
