Chapter 784: A Little Heavy-Handed
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi watched Su Bing. She could see his eyes brimming with unshed tears. Her first instinct was not to blame, but to feel a pang of heartache. Su Bing was not a child who acted recklessly. He understood restraint and propriety, and would not instigate such an incident. Therefore, she needed to understand what had truly transpired.
Su Bing, fearing his mother’s reproach, spoke up before she could ask. His voice wavered with emotion, “Mom, I didn’t start the fight. Jiang Ping and his friends were bullying me. I was merely defending myself.”
Upon hearing this, the physical education teacher’s anger flared. He seemed only willing to believe what he had witnessed, and he barked at Su Bing, “Su Bing, how dare you lie so blatantly? I clearly saw you pinning Jiang Ping down and hitting him. Your eyes were so cold, as if you wanted to beat him to death. Are you suggesting I saw wrong?”
Gu Zi, already distressed by Su Bing’s situation, shot the teacher a stern look. The male teacher shivered under her gaze and quieted down.
Gu Zi addressed him, “Physical Education teacher, since I am here at the school, I will naturally investigate the cause of this incident. Please do not interrupt my son while he is speaking. Maintain the decorum expected of a teacher.
“I will not blindly favor my son. If it is determined that he is at fault, I will punish him. However, I will not allow my son to be denied his right to express himself.”
The physical education teacher fell silent. Su Bing continued his explanation, “I was running on the playground, minding my own business, when Jiang Ping approached me. He started verbally provoking me, saying that even though I knew martial arts, I was a coward who wouldn’t dare to fight in school. I ignored him and continued running.
“But he was relentless. He and his classmates continued to harass me, even resorting to physical aggression. Later, he insulted me, calling me an orphan. I didn’t get angry because you’ve always told me, Mom, not to care about what others say. But the calmer I remained, the more relentless Jiang Ping became. He pushed me, and in my anger, I retaliated.”
