learned from Lin Meng and given birth to the child formally first, but it was too late to say anything now. She loved Rong Ling; there was no doubt about that. Even though she hadn't seen clearly, th...Before her were children who all looked a little disheveled, and the faces of parents filled with both heartache and displeasure. (..tw no pop-up ads) Whether it was the parents of the children standing by Youyou's side or the parents of the children Youyou was facing off against, I'm afraid they all probably had some grievances against Lin Meng at this moment!

Every child is a parent's treasure, especially in a country where policy only allows for one child.

"Mommy, let's go home!"

The little guy had a cold face and said something cool. He stretched out his small hand and tugged at Lin Meng.

Another parent, seeing this, finally couldn't hold back. "How can you leave before things are even explained clearly!"

"Yeah, yeah..."

There has to be a satisfying conclusion, right…

The parents of the children who were fighting with Xiaoyou gathered together and immediately denounced them.

Some parents arrived before Lin Meng and learned about the situation beforehand. To their extreme anger, their children were ultimately beaten by a younger child! This is embarrassing to say out loud! The parents in this kindergarten are either rich or expensive, and they all mingle in that circle. You can't avoid seeing each other, whether looking up or down. When a child is beaten by another child, the parents encounter each other, it's equivalent to being one step shorter. How could they possibly accept this in their hearts!

It's amazing how much Youyou has grown! In such a short time, he went from being an outsider to almost the leader of most of the kindergarten. Ever since he skipped ahead to the middle class, he not only recruited most of the kids in the small and middle classes as his little followers, but even some kids from the big class too.

In the schoolyard, it has always been the older kids who boss around the younger ones. Now, this schoolyard is almost being ruled by the middle-class Lin Chengyou. How can those leaders from the senior class just stand for it They would rather have their future under Chengyou's command, following his lead and reading his expressions. Those senior class leaders find it too embarrassing!

Only those who were exceptionally talented could become leaders in such academies. Therefore, when they realized that Youyou had Rongling supporting her, they didn't dare to openly challenge or physically harm Youyou. All they could do was work hard to recruit new members for their teams and increase their strength.

By the end, the entire school was basically divided into two factions: one led by the three kids in the large class; and another led by Youyou. The kindergarten teachers noticed this situation, but it's common for children to form cliques, and these little ones were so precious. Under the circumstances where nothing major happened, these teachers really couldn't intervene rashly. Perhaps, these children's parents even welcomed their children learning to suppress others and compete with each other at such a young age, because they would all be entering the political arena or the business world in the future, where competition is inevitable!

Two tigers cannot coexist on the same mountain!

It's inevitable that the two sides will clash!

The group from the big class had long taken a dislike to Youyou, always wanting to put her in her place, but they never got the chance. Finally, when the incident with Zhuo Yiyin happened and Lin Meng was caught up in it, things changed. In an environment where media outlets prioritize profit over truth and sensationalism, children from the big class started using newspaper articles to taunt and belittle Youyou. The little girl had endured a lot, but finally, she snapped. On this day, she couldn't take it anymore and punched the child who was insulting her. Naturally, that child wouldn't just stand there. He wanted revenge and fought back. The two of them started brawling.

Because there had always been conflict between the two groups, the fight between the little guy and the other child became the trigger for the brawl. The older children were cheering and shouting, calling the little guy's mom a bad woman and the little guy a bad kid, mocking the kids who followed the little guy, calling them all idiots. Those kids weren't going to take it lying down, so they fought back. But under the reports in the media, these kids couldn't argue with the older kids, so when they couldn't argue, they could only fight. Suddenly, someone yelled, and the brawl began!

What's most surprising is that although these little guys are mostly short and stocky, they're a bit smaller and weaker than the older kids. But these kids are incredibly loyal, brave, and tough! They won't give up easily, even if they can't win. Just look at their leader, Lin Chengyou, who single-handedly took on three leaders from the older group! As his followers, they couldn't let their leader down, could they So, this brawl just escalated, and not even the teachers could stop it. There were more kids than teachers! When a teacher grabbed one kid, they couldn't control another. The scene was pure chaos: shouts, roars, curses, panting, crying, screams – you name it, it was all happening. From afar, the fighting circle looked like a wild display of energy and action. These little guys were putting on quite a show, with their grunts and punches, making you think you were watching a martial arts class in full swing!

Finally, it was the kindergarten guard who had to step in and put a stop to it all. He worked hard, catching each of the singing children one by one, separating them, and then sending them back to their respective classrooms. Even then, these little rascals were still restless. They were all bruised and battered, yet they had astonishing fighting spirit, continuing to clamor and fight as if they were addicted to it! The sight left the tall and mighty guards both amused and bewildered!

Over there, the teachers nervously went one by one to notify the parents. Originally, the teachers were hoping that when the parents arrived, these little sprouts would calm down a bit, and then the children would each find their mothers and go back to their homes, putting an end to the commotion. But no!

The arrival of the parents only increased the conflict!

Parents of the children in the middle and small classes felt proud, their little ones were so young yet able to knock down older kids. It was truly something they couldn't help but feel pleased about. Parents of the big class felt ashamed, how could their children be beaten by younger ones Looking at the other parents who couldn't hide their smug expressions, the parents of the big class swallowed their pride. They demanded to find out who was responsible and reveal the truth of the whole incident. Then, they insisted on punishing the culprit severely!

So, the little kid was pulled out.

As soon as they saw him, the parents of the middle class were delighted. The child behind him was Rong Ling, so how could he be punished

The parents of the big class looked gloomy, a little afraid to speak out. However, when they saw that there was Rong Hengda, the leader of the big class, and his mother Mu Xinfeng was also there, they felt hopeful for revenge!

Now, those few parents who dare to clamor for Lin Meng not to leave are only because Mu Xinfeng is also a victim! If you really want to hold grudges, Mu Xinfeng is the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Rong family, naturally ranking above Lin Meng!

Those few people cast their eyes on Mu Xinfeng intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, they hoped that Mu Xinfeng would take the lead. Mu Xinfeng has always been someone who is unwilling to suffer losses, and he is also very protective of his son. This time, naturally, was no exception.

Although they are children, they still need to be educated when they do something wrong. If we let it slide this time, next time their mistake might be even worse!

Mu Xin Feng's words were quite reasonable, not too aggressive. Firstly, because Rong Ling had warned her beforehand, for her beloved son, she was somewhat apprehensive. Secondly, on this matter, she believed Lin Meng was in the wrong, and there was no way to argue against it, so she willingly portrayed herself as an elegant and intellectual lady!

In this matter, Lin Meng was indeed unable to refute. After biting her lip, she calmly said, "You're right, I hadn't thought about just leaving with the child. Since all the parents are here, why not have everyone bring their children over and talk about it Children fight because of simple reasons, it should be easy to figure out!"

Mu Xin Feng snickered inwardly, thinking Lin Meng was truly naive. What was she investigating Every child had blurted out those stories, nothing more than her own scandals. Was she really afraid that others wouldn't know about her "immoral behavior" and stealing men from pregnant women!

The children came over, chattering away. And that's exactly what they were saying.

But if Mu Xinfeng wanted to see Lin Meng's expression of shame, she would be sorely disappointed!

"Now you all know why they're fighting, don't you!" Lin Meng paused, looking around at the crowd. The eyes that met hers held nothing but schadenfreude and pity, but she didn't think it was necessary!

She organized her thoughts for a moment, then spoke, her voice clear and slow, enunciating each word carefully.

"Firstly, my son YouYou and Wu Mingjia got into a fight, which likely sparked the whole commotion. Kids are naturally drawn to groups, and seeing a fuss they rush forward. I believe all parents here understand this – we've all seen classmates intervening in fights when we were younger. In these situations, everyone should be clear that they are helping voluntarily, not being instigated. I think the reason the fight escalated so much is because the two parties involved likely had existing conflicts! Teacher Fang, am I right"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Teacher Fang's face, and she nodded lightly.

...And the reason Lin Meng could arrive at this conclusion so quickly was naturally because she had been attentively listening to every child's recounting of the events. Children are young and not all of them understand how to conceal their thoughts. They mostly use childish language to recreate what happened at the scene. This language, untainted by artifice, allows one to grasp the truth within. This is also why Lin Meng suggested that all the children share their stories. ...

Ms. Fang's answer satisfied Lin Meng, who nodded and smiled faintly.

“So, this confrontation between the two sides was bound to happen eventually. It just happened to erupt today. If you insist on blaming Youyou and Wu Mingjia for starting the fight, I think that’s unfair. Everyone here are elites in society, certainly people who understand right from wrong. I believe such a simple truth is something you all should know!”

In just a few words, she skillfully downplayed the severity of the fight, making it seem like nothing major at all.

Of course, that wasn't enough. While she was praising the parents present, she naturally needed to add some content to strengthen her persuasion.

"Children fighting is a common occurrence. Who's child hasn't fought before! Children have short memories; they might fight today, but turn around and be happily playing together tomorrow. If we judge children's behavior by our own adult standards, I think that's inappropriate."

"So you're saying my child was beaten for nothing!" one parent exclaimed indignantly.

"Didn't he hit anyone!" Lin Meng retorted. "What do you think we should do"

She stared straight at her!

Of course, the woman didn't dare to directly confront Lin Meng. She lowered her head, stammering, but couldn't bring herself to speak. After all, it was a chaotic battle. People were fighting all over the place – punching and kicking indiscriminately. One person might land a punch on you, you'd retaliate with a kick, then turn around and punch someone else, only to get punched in return...

In short, if someone isn't one of us, I'll beat them up as soon as they appear before me! If you insist on compensation, things will get messy. It would take three or four days just to figure out the twists and turns here. But if we pin this on Xiaoyou, it seems excessive. After all, Lin Meng has already analyzed the situation quite clearly.

To put it simply, Lin Meng has already taken the lead, and there's no room for argument from other parents. So, at this point, the only ones who could stand up would be the parents of those children who had been beaten by Xiao Youyou. Leading the charge would be the three heads of the kindergarten class.

Xiaoyou's martial arts practice these past few months hasn't been in vain. He is a disciple of the martial arts master, Old Master Yan, and often receives personal guidance from his father. His skills have naturally progressed rapidly. During the melee, this kid was able to fight three opponents at once, and sometimes even had time to punch other children nearby. Don't look at him getting beaten up and having some skin scraped off, but in reality, this little guy was very relaxed and in control!

The three leaders of that large class are not ordinary people since they could get to this position. They must have some skills. Besides having a good family background, when they stand out, they need to be impressive. Here, "impressive" means they need to be valiant and make people feel like they are pretty capable.

Those three, including Rong Hengda, had all learned some martial arts. Yet, they were unfortunately pressed to the ground by Xiao Youyou and beaten mercilessly. Xiao Youyou's training was evident, as each of them was sporting bruises and cuts, their faces a mix of green and red, looking quite pitiful! Seeing this, the three parents knew something had to be done and insisted on an explanation.

“It was your child who hit my daughter, Gaiga, first, wasn't it! At least you should show some concern!” Wu Mingjia’s mother spoke up. She looked like a shrewd and capable woman, currently holding an important position in the CPPCC. She was a formidable woman, and not someone to be trifled with! One could feel this just from her aura.

"It was your child who insulted me first, insulting my child!" Lin Meng's face was calm, stating it plainly, without sharpness, fear, or humility.

“A child's heart is the most sensitive and the most genuine. In their hearts, mom and dad are the most capable people in the world, and also the dearest people to them. If someone says bad things about mom and dad, I think most children will get angry and may take different ways to fight back. My daughter Youyou is like that too. In her heart, I am definitely the best mother, and she cannot tolerate others saying bad things about me. Your child provoked him and used language that a child should not use to insult him, and at the same time insulted the person he loves most, so when he punched out, I express my understanding. This is comparable to someone inexplicably scolding my child, and then I would definitely fight back. If you want me to apologize or have my child apologize, then I have to say sorry, I, and my child, definitely can't do it! A person, if he doesn't even have the heart to defend the basic dignity of his loved ones, then he is not worthy of being called a human!”

The last sentence was spoken with conviction, giving many parents in the audience a sudden and profound sense of enlightenment. Their hearts and minds were involuntarily shaken!

The woman was taken aback, her gaze shifting towards Lin Meng. It changed slightly, but only ever so slightly!

"I have to say, your eloquence is impressive. However, I cannot agree to you making excuses for your child like this!"

The woman noticed the boy, named Lin Chengyou, had a tight expression and shot her two cold glances. Those weren't eyes like a child's, which left her slightly stunned. Without hesitation, relying on her years of experience, she knew this child would surely be remarkable when he grew up. She also noticed the child shifted slightly, not retreating behind his mother to escape the criticism aimed at him. Instead, in that moment, he stood straight like a little warrior, moving forward from his mother and facing the crowd. It seemed as if he were using his small frame to defend something fiercely.

Defend the person he loves most!

The woman's heart skipped a beat, feeling a twinge of admiration for Xiao Youyou. However, she still kept her tone somewhat dismissive. "I think what my son said was true. How could it be considered defamatory If you truly care about your son, then you shouldn't have done that!"

“That kind of thing!” Lin Meng raised her voice slightly, smiling faintly. “I think you might have misunderstood. A few days ago, I was out on a business trip and couldn't stop the media from making wild reports in time. But I think you should be a sensible person and wouldn't believe everything written in those newspapers, right!”

The woman was slightly surprised!

Lin Meng smiled faintly and continued, "In fact, I've already started handling this. Besides holding a press conference to clarify my innocence, I will ask the relevant media outlets to apologize for their irresponsible reporting. Although we both know this process will be difficult, I will try my best!"

The woman's lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something, but then she slowly closed them again. She had realized that she had nothing to say. When she smiled faintly, there was no sense of arrogance, yet it made one feel that even ice would melt under the warmth of her smile, like spring rain softening hardened earth. Her calmness and composure, as if she saw through everything, were truly admirable!

"If that's truly the case, then I shall watch with great interest. Mrs. Lin, I will be keeping a close eye on you." The woman's eyes flickered with ferocity. "If you fail to do what you say, I assure you, both you and your son will apologize to my JiaJia!"st Lin Meng who was opening the door for them. They jumped onto the bed and placed their pillows, one on each side, leaving just enough space in the middle for an adult to sleep."Mommy, come here!"The...
