Confirming that everyone was present, the principal formally opened the conversation.
“Sungjun’s mom says she’ll sue for school violence, so to verify if there is no misunderstanding, we brought both parents together.”
Opening the school violence commission would not only affect the students involved but also damage the school’s external image, so there was an intention to seek relationship improvement through dialogue.
“Seungyul says Sungjun teased Roy first. So he asked for an apology, but Sungjun pushed him into the locker, claiming it was a defensive act.”
At Hyojin’s explanation of self-defense, Sungjun’s mom sharply raised her eyebrows.
“Seungyul’s mom. If such a thing happened, shouldn’t you ask if Sungjun is okay first? I clearly told you last time. School violence is not just about hitting with fists.”
Sungjun’s mom turned to Exchange, blaming him as if acknowledging that she had spoken well.
“Then what did Seungyul’s dad say when he transferred? When the parents’ committee opposed it, didn’t Seungyul’s dad attend the committee meeting in person and promise? He promised to take responsibility and guide him well. But look at this situation now.”
Sungjun’s mom looked at the principal and the homeroom teacher alternately, as if seeking agreement.
“Honestly, there were no such incidents at our school until Seungyul transferred. It’s like one minnow muddying the stream.”
“Why do you always think it’s the child’s fault? Do you not think there’s a problem with the school’s education system that can’t embrace such a child?”
Hyojin’s clenched fist gained strength.
“Then go to another school. Why did you come to our school and ruin my child? Before Seungyul transferred, our Sungjun was good at studying and had good relationships with friends.”
“Sungjun’s mom, calm down.”
As the suggestion of going to another school came up, the principal intervened to block the escalating situation.
“Am I calm now? Principal, you heard it too. He keeps insisting that his son did well.”
“It’s not about our child doing well, but about explaining why he ended up behaving like that from our child’s perspective.”
Unable to withstand Hyojin’s persistent silence, Sungjun’s mom, who had been holding back, exploded.
“Transfer him immediately! If he doesn’t transfer, we’ll formally sue for school violence. I’m telling you, I came here to stop my husband from suing right away. Think about the school’s external image!”
Exchange, who worked in the same industry as a lawyer, knowing better than anyone about the rumors surrounding her husband, chuckled.
Knowing that her husband was having an affair with a female colleague at the same company, perhaps? You pretend not to know.
It’s not right to mock someone else’s misfortune like this.
As Exchange coldly laughed with her lips, she withdrew the smile when she met eyes with Sungjun’s mom.
“Seungyul won’t transfer. Even if they open the school violence commission, Seungyul won’t attend.”
With an assured tone, Hyojin looked perplexed and glanced at Exchange.
“What are you talking about?”
Sungjun’s mom, impatiently as if questioning whether this was some kind of joke, stared at Exchange.
Saying to transfer, not transferring, and not attending the school violence commission.
In a moment of silence, Exchange, who had firmly closed her lips, spoke.
“Seungyul will quit school.”
“What?! Quit school? What does that mean…”
Upon hearing those words, not only Hyojin but also the principal and the homeroom teacher were so shocked that they lowered their eyes as if putting down a teacup.
“I came today to tell you that.”
Choi Seungyul will drop out of school…!
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
