Sweetlove: Spoiled by My Childhood Sweetheart

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 She is Here to Back You Up

Lin Na’s mother furrowed her brows, seemingly not too satisfied with the principal’s suggestion.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Shen Zhaozhao speak with unwavering determination, “Principal, I disagree.”

The principal’s expression stiffened, and Lin Na’s mother’s expression grew somber as well.

“Teacher Cai, could you please try to persuade her?” the principal turned to Cai Tian.

Cai Tian didn’t like the way they were bullying a young girl, but not wanting to openly confront them, she asked, “Zhaozhao, are you willing to forgive them?”

Shen Zhaozhao said, “I’m willing to forgive them, but they must apologize to me.”

Seeing that she insisted on having an apology, Lin Na’s mother pointed at her and said, “You child, why are you so stubborn? It’s just a small matter, yet you insist on clinging to it. If something serious happens to our Nana because of you, will you be able to live with yourself?”

Shen Zhaozhao’s attitude remained firm, and she wasn’t intimidated by the other party’s posture.

She said, “Auntie, though I may be young, I know that if you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility. If crying and making a fuss could simply make things go away, then she’ll never realize her mistake.”

Cai Tian thought she spoke very well. Although aware that she might anger the parents and displease the principal, she still said, “Lin Na’s mother, I think student Zhaozhao is right; Lin Na did do something wrong, and it is proper for her to apologize. As parents, you should guide your child correctly, encouraging them to develop in a good direction, rather than blindly defending them. That will only ruin the child.”

“How can you say that, teacher?” Lin Na’s mother looked at her discontentedly, directing the anger she had for Shen Zhaozhao onto her, “Our children are still young; they should be allowed the opportunity to make mistakes. How can you label our child as bad over such a trivial matter? Of course, if our child has done something wrong, I will surely educate her properly. But now we need to resolve the issue, not exacerbate the conflict. If you’re not helping to persuade, why are you adding fuel to the fire? I get it now; it’s because of teachers like you that such unreasonable students are taught.”

“Teacher Cai, don’t speak for now. Let the parent and this student communicate on their own.” The principal also looked at Cai Tian with displeasure.

He had brought her to help persuade the student, not to support the student’s argument.

Cai Tian pressed her lips together. She didn’t like the way the principal was handling the situation. Just as she was about to say something, Shen Zhaozhao tugged at her sleeve.

She turned around, looking at Shen Zhaozhao with confusion.

Shen Zhaozhao knew she wanted to speak on her behalf, but she didn’t want Cai Tian to offend the principal because of her.

Shen Zhaozhao shook her head at her, then faced the principal and said, “Principal, I have nothing more to say. It was agreed before that as long as the two of them apologized publicly, I wouldn’t pursue the matter further. But since Lin Na and Yang Yue are now unwilling to apologize, it’s better to let the police handle it!”

Upon hearing this, the principal’s brows furrowed. Truth be told, this little matter was far from requiring police intervention.

Moreover, he didn’t want to blow things out of proportion. He finally looked at the woman and said, “Lin Na’s mother, why don’t we do as Shen Zhaozhao suggests and just have the two children apologize?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Na’s mother’s face grew long and dissatisfied, “Principal, haven’t I made it clear? This matter has had a big impact on our child. She won’t even leave the house, won’t eat, won’t study. If you keep pressing her, what if it drives her to do something desperate? Who will take responsibility then?”
