Cherry arrived at the school in a hurry, and just as she reached the main gate, she saw that Joe was standing at the entrance of the teaching building with another boy beside him.
Cherry greeted the entrance guard and almost instantly arrived at the teaching building.
When she arrived at the entrance, a teacher came out from it.
Walking next to Joe, Cherry anxiously asked, "Joe, what happened? What's this all about?"
After these two questions, Cherry turned her eyes to the boy nearby. It was obvious that his face was bruised. Did her baby boy actually do that?
The teacher walked up to Cherry, and asked, "Are you Joe Shen's mother?"
"Yes, I am, " immediately replied Cherry. "What's going on here?"
However, the teacher looked pretty arrogant, and said, "You didn't see already? Ask your child."
Cherry felt a bit helpless when she saw the teacher's attitude. She then continued to pay attention to Joe, and seriously asked, "Joe, what's the matter with you?"
But Joe didn't look at Cherry at all, and instead turned his eyes away from her.
At that moment, a woman came over, carrying a handbag with her. Seeing that her son was hit, she immediately cried in surprise, "My baby, who did this to you? Who hit you?"
When the boy saw that his mother had come, he suddenly burst into tears and hid into his mother's arms. He started to explain, "It was my classmate, Joe. I just said that he doesn't have a father and he came and hit me. His uncle takes him to our school everyday, he doesn't have a father."
As soon as the boy finished his words, Joe got angry again, and rushed at the boy while screaming, "Who did you say didn't have a father? Say it again! Say it again!"
Seeing that her son was so frantic, Cherry instantly held Joe back, and shouted at him, "Joe, be quiet!"
The boy's mother had intended to snap harshly at her when she saw that Joe was going to hit her son again, but when she raised her head and saw Cherry's face, she was suddenly flabbergasted.
The woman wondered, 'She, she's Cherry, the Shen clan's second daughter. That means that this boy is...'
The boy's mother then carefully looked at Joe. She couldn't help but place her hand over her mouth, amazed by the fact that Joe looked so much alike Jackson. It was obvious that he was Jackson's son.
Her expression had came a bit unexpected to Cherry, and she wondered what happened to her?
