“Teacher already called your mother. She should be here soon.” Teacher Li patted Jian Ai’s shoulder as if comforting her.
At this time, Jian Ai no longer had the imposing manner from when she was at the security office. She sat on the chair with a calm and gentle expression. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but smile and nod at Teacher Li. “Thank you, Teacher.”
Although she could handle this matter, she was still too young, so her parents had to be informed.
Teacher Li couldn’t help but sigh. “Why didn’t you tell me about this?”
“Actually, I didn’t really want to pursue the matter,” Jian Ai replied. “No one actually saw Li Yunmei pushing me into the pond. She was the one who showed off to others, so there were some rumors in school. However, there was no evidence after all! Today, I accidentally saw that the security camera could capture the pond, so I wanted to seek justice for myself.”
Jian Ai was not lying. Initially, she did not intend to pursue this matter. But today, she was lucky. After all, it was Li Yunmei and her mother who did it. If not for today’s incident, she would not have been invited to the police station for tea.
“Xiao Ai!”
Just then, Jian Yu’s voice came from the other end of the corridor. Jian Ai looked up and saw her mother and brother running over.
“Mom, Brother.” Jian Ai quickly went forward.
At this time, the breakfast stall at home had not closed yet, so Wang Yunmei was still wearing an apron with flour on it. Obviously, she had rushed over the moment she received Teacher Li’s call.
“Xiao Ai, are you okay? What’s going on?” Wang Yunmei’s eyes turned red when she saw Jian Ai. Her daughter was the most sensible one, but now she was in the police station. How could she not be worried?
“Jian Ai’s mother, don’t worry. Sit down first.” Teacher Li went up to comfort her.
When Wang Yunmei saw Jian Ai’s teacher, she became even more agitated. She quickly grabbed the teacher’s hand and said, “Teacher, my Xiao Ai is the most obedient in school. You know this. She definitely won’t do anything bad.”
“Yes, Jian Ai’s mother. Listen to me first. It was my fault just now. It happened so suddenly, so I didn’t tell you in detail over the phone. Actually, this was what happened…”
Teacher Li told her everything that happened. She did not hide anything for Li Yunmei. Now that things had come to this, there was nothing to hide anymore.
“A classmate pushed my sister to a pond?” Jian Yu was shocked and couldn’t believe it.
No matter how bad a fourteen-year-old student was, they wouldn’t dare to do such a thing, right?
“She’s being interrogated inside. Don’t worry, we’ll get justice for Jian Ai,” said Teacher Li.
Wang Yunmei was scared silly. When she came back to her senses, she still couldn’t hold back her fear. Jian Ai saw this and held Wang Yunmei’s hand to comfort her. “Mom, don’t worry anymore. No matter what happens later, just listen to me, okay?”
Wang Yunmei was a very strong person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have raised her two children alone for more than ten years. Jian Ai and Jian Yu were her pride. It was also because of this that Wang Yunmei felt afraid when she suddenly faced such a situation. If anything happened to Jian Ai, she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Wang Yunmei took two deep breaths before she calmed down. She gripped her daughter’s hand tightly and gently nodded.
