“Neener neener, we weren’t wrong! You are feral children without mothers! Your father won’t come pick you up either! I’m not lying!”
A visibly overnourished chubby boy, his eyes nearly squeezed shut by the flesh on his face, was making faces at the isolated Ji brothers in an extremely bratty manner, his appearance utterly repulsive.
“You are feral children!”
The chubby boy’s words pierced Ji Li and Ji Zhou’s hearts like sharp blades.
“That’s right, that’s right! Can’t we even speak the truth? You were the ones who boasted about going on a show first! I think you’re just little liars!”
Another thin child followed suit, his words even more vicious, “Liar! You’re bad children!”
Ye Shuang was shocked upon hearing these words.
She found it hard to imagine that children so young, who should be innocent and pure, could utter such malicious words to mock their classmates.
Moreover, looking at these two children again, aside from their slightly disheveled clothes, there were no visible injuries on their bodies.
Clearly, their parents were trying to exploit this situation for compensation.
Ji Li’s little face flushed red with anger, his body trembling slightly from rage.
He pointed his small finger at the two bratty children and retorted loudly, “We’re not!! You’re the bad children!”
“You are! Hey, you’re not thinking of hitting anyone, are you? What’s wrong with you? No wonder you have no parents to teach you manners, and now you’re still making excuses.”
The shrill-voiced plump woman suddenly stiffened her face, her eyes gleaming fiercely as she stared directly at Ji Li, her words extremely offensive.
“Who says they don’t have a mother? Also, your upbringing doesn’t seem particularly impressive either—several adults shamelessly bullying a child?”
Perhaps those inside were too absorbed in their argument; no one noticed when Ye Shuang walked in.
It wasn’t until Ye Shuang steadily walked up to the two poor little ones that they suddenly snapped back to reality.
For a moment, they even forgot to retort against Ye Shuang’s words.
“Who are you? Who did you just say lacks upbringing? Looking like some vixen… You wouldn’t be their stepmother, would you…”
The obese woman placed her hands on her hips like a hen ready to fight, her voice growing increasingly shrill and grating.
Her eyes, filled with greed, brazenly scanned Ye Shuang up and down, full of disdain and provocation.
Seeing Ye Shuang’s delicate and fragile appearance, the plump woman felt certain she was easy to bully and began hurling insults without restraint.
In her view, stepmothers never genuinely stood up for their stepchildren; perhaps she could even seize this opportunity to extort more money.
At the same time, when her gaze fell upon Ye Shuang’s nearly flawless face, the envy and hatred in her eyes surged like a broken dam, almost overflowing.
This jealousy made her increasingly unrestrained, and all sorts of unspeakable profanities spilled from her mouth.
However, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this woman looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
“Whoever responds is who I’m talking about.”
Ye Shuang cast a cool glance at the other party, completely ignoring the spittle flying toward her.
She crouched down directly and carefully examined the two milk dumplings from head to toe.
Ji Li and Ji Zhou’s little faces were full of grievance, their eyes red like two ripe red cherries. When they saw Ye Shuang, a flicker of pleasant surprise and dependence flashed in their eyes.
“You vixen, bitch… What are you trying to do? Hit me? I’m warning you, I’m live streaming right now. Don’t you dare try anything funny.”
The plump woman had originally intended to seize the opportunity to teach Ye Shuang a lesson, secretly hoping she could scratch that beautiful face to shreds.
But before she could get close, two burly men suddenly appeared like a solid wall, firmly blocking her path.
The plump woman immediately recognized them as Ye Shuang’s bodyguards.
Feeling intimidated, she instinctively took two steps back.
Then, as if clutching at a life-saving straw, she hastily pulled out her phone, opened the live broadcast, and pointed the camera at Ye Shuang.
Just moments ago, a sudden realization had struck her—she finally remembered who this woman was.
Wasn’t this the female celebrity who had been blacklisted across the internet for nearly a year as a “pretentious hypocrite”?
Back then, scandalous rumors had flooded the media, dragging her name through the mud.
Who would have thought she’d quit the entertainment industry, gotten married, become some old man’s caged bird, and now even had two stepchildren?
This was huge news!
Watching the influx of netizens in her live broadcast room, the scrolling comments and skyrocketing viewership boosted her confidence.
She straightened her posture, increasingly convinced that the other party wouldn’t dare make a move for fear of public backlash.
“Director Lu, you can’t do this…”
The two teachers, who had already been berated by the plump woman, turned pale at the scene.
They knew all too well that if this escalated and reached the principal, their jobs would be on the line.
“Get lost!”
The plump woman glared viciously at the two frail teachers, her eyes threatening to devour them.
Then, she gleefully focused on her phone’s live broadcast, reveling in the stream of vulgar insults targeting Ye Shuang.
“Are you okay?”
Ye Shuang asked softly, her eyes filled with concern.
She took the handkerchief handed by the Old Butler and gently wiped the dust off Ji Li’s clothes and the tear stains on his face, her movements as tender as a spring breeze.
“Are you hurt anywhere? Tell me. We don’t start trouble, but we won’t shy away from it either.”
Ye Shuang spoke softly as she cleaned.
Simultaneously, her dissatisfaction with the negligent teachers grew.
She distinctly remembered that Ji Huaiqing had donated a considerable sum to this school—was this how they treated the son of a shareholder?
“N-No, I’m fine! Of course I’m fine! And I won’t let anything happen to my brother either!”
Ji Li puffed out his chest, putting on a brave front like a little adult.
He would never admit to this woman how happy he felt inside at that moment.
And he absolutely wouldn’t confess that he had almost cried earlier.
Hmph, he was Ji Li, already four years old—far too old to cry like a baby.
Those tears on his face? They were just his eyes acting up on their own. Nothing to do with him.
“We’re… we’re really glad you came!”
“Is that so~”
A faint smile touched Ye Shuang’s lips as she affectionately ruffled the hair of this usually “domineering” little CEO.
Then, she gently pulled the still-sobbing Ji Zhou closer and carefully checked him over.
After confirming that the other party only had disheveled clothing and wasn’t injured, she finally felt completely relieved.
No matter how the relationship between these two brothers might evolve in the future, at this very moment, Ji Li had protected Ji Zhou well, which brought a trace of comfort to Ye Shuang’s heart.
“Everyone look! The celebrity is going to hit someone! The celebrity’s child hit someone and won’t apologize, even trying to threaten us! There’s no law, no justice…”
The plump woman clearly understood that her own child still needed to study at this school in the future, so she didn’t dare to go too far.
But towards Ye Shuang, whom she obviously envied, she wasn’t so polite.
She directly shouted into the chaotic live broadcast room, attempting to stir up the emotions of netizens.
Many viewers in the live broadcast room were Ye Shuang’s anti-fans, along with some casual fans who already had negative impressions of her.
At this moment, the scrolling comments on the screen were truly unbearable to read.
