“The Qi family is using their power to bully us!” Grandmother Chang did not fail to shout at the top of her lungs while being escorted by the guards. Floor after floor, she shouted and screamed so that the entire floor could hear what she was saying.

Since it was still lunch break, many students were talking in the corridors and all of them heard, “Even if the Qi family owns this school, they can’t force someone not to study here! Me? Regret? F*CK YOU! I don’t regret at all! Qi Chenglin is unreasonable and irrational! Take a good look, God! These young men are bullying an old bag of bones like me. Youngsters now are rude! I’m being dragged out here today! What kind of society is this!” Grandmother Chang cursed and cursed, crying out to the heavens.

The security guards were speechless.

They began feeling embarrassed after the old lady said all that. In that fleeting moment of shame, they slowed down their movements because they did not know what else to do.

“What are you doing? She’s already suffering so badly. Why aren’t you hurrying up to send her to her car? What are you going to do if something happens? Move faster, send the old lady to the car quickly!” the headmaster ordered immediately after following behind and watching the situation unfold.

The security guards immediately dragged Grandmother Chang out at a faster pace than before.

Since Grandmother Chang kicked up a fuss, Chang Jianan was too embarrassed to return to class, so Liu Xiangwen brought him home with her.

The entire fiasco was not that big, but after Qi Chenglin forced Chang Jianan to transfer schools, Grandmother Chang’s subsequent outburst made the entire school well aware of the situation. The Chang family’s reputation was resoundingly tarnished and they would be filled with shame if they appeared in public next time.

After sending Grandmother Chang home, Liu Xiangwen did not immediately go home. Although the latter was usually very petty, she did not dare to decide things on her own when it came to such a serious circumstance. She hurriedly gave her husband a call.

Upon hearing the news, Chang Zhixing told Chang Zhiyuan at once. Both brothers then rushed back home from the company.

Mo Yuxin and Liu Xiangwen were watching over Grandmother Chang in the bedroom. The elderly lady was cursing and scolding so much that her head began hurting. She finally went to rest on her bed.

Mo Yuxin and Liu Xiangwen did not dare to utter a single word, and even Chang Jianan was afraid to continue crying. He simply laid there in Liu Xiangwen’s embrace.

“What is it? Why did things escalate so badly?” Chang Zhiyuan barged in and asked sternly, with Chang Zhixing hiding behind him.

“Sis-in-law, tell us. You weren’t very clear over the phone, and Zhixing couldn’t tell me the details,” Chang Zhiyuan said to Liu Xiangwen.

Hugging Chang Jianan, Liu Xiangwen recounted everything in detail. Seeing as it was no small matter, she did not dare to exaggerate things and complain about it.

Chang Zhixing was shocked. He knew that it was all brought upon by Grandmother Chang herself. As a kid, Chang Jianan would at least be able to avail himself by saying that he was a kid. Kids lose their temper easily and think that an eye for an eye makes the world go around. Adults should be the ones advising the kids, figuring out a way to de-escalate the situation, not make things worse as Grandmother Chang did.

“Why didn’t you hold Mom back?!” Chang Zhixing released his anger on Liu Xiangwen as he was afraid to do so toward the old lady.

Liu Xiangwen cowered guiltily. “I…didn’t dare to stop her!”
