BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97 Call From The School

CHAPTER 97
"They are Su Quan, Long Xin, Xie Chao and Bai Xiaojin."
"What? Bai Xiaojin and those three rich kids fought? Are you sure it is Bai Xiaojin?" Teacher Ann asked in surprise. If there was one thing she knew about all the kids on her class, she will say that Bai Xiaojin is the most reserved one.
\'It must have been those troublesome kids that pissed Bai Xiaojin off. They always make trouble for him. I should go to the principal\'s office to know what happened,\' Teacher Ann said within herself.
In fact, with her co-workers, Teacher Fei there, she would surely make things worse, especially for Bai Xiaojin. Teacher Ann paused her movement and looked at Teacher Fei. She closed the register and said, "You know what, teacher Fei? I will go to the principal\'s office to deliver the phone numbers instead. The children involved in this are my concern after all," she suggested with a small smile.
"Teacher Ann the principal sent me and not you. Besides, if the children were really your concern, why were you not there to stop them from fighting earlier at the playground?" Teacher Fei mockingly asked.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Teacher Fei, you may have signed up here to become a nanny for the children, but I did not. Also, I was at the teachers meeting when the children were at the playground," Teacher Ann shut teacher Fei with her words.
"Also, you have other kids to babysit Teacher Fei. They might be fighting already. Now, if you will excuse me I have some calls to make before heading to the principal\'s office. You may see yourself out of my class room please," she pointed towards the door of the class room.
Teacher Fei on anger and shame at how her co-worker had stood up to her, left the class room in haste. After she left, teacher Ann decided to call Bai Renxiang before calling the parents of the troublesome trio.
RING!! RING!!
Bai Renxiang was going through some files when the sound of her phone ringing caught her attention.
"Hello. Bai Renxiang speaking," she received the call.
"Hello Ms. Bai. This is Bai Xiaojin\'s class teacher, Teacher Ann," a voice rang out from the other end of the line.
"Oh yeah. Good afternoon Teacher Ann. How are things at school? Is my baby boy being good at school?" She asked.
"Yes, he was," teacher Ann replied.
"He was? How so?"
"It seems that your son, Bai Xiaojin, got himself into a fight with some boys," teacher Ann dropped the news carefully.
"He WHAT?!!" Bai Renxiang unintentionally rose her voice causing some of her colleagues to look at her. She bowed as she mouthed an apology.
"What do mean he got himself into a fight with some boys? I mean, they are actually more than a boy he fought with," Bai Renxiang massaged her temples.
"Uh yes. Anyways, I called to tell you to that the principal wants you to come to school."
"Oh. Okay I will be there. Thank you for informing me," Bai Renxiang began to pack up and arrange the things on her desk and made her way towards Mr Longwen\'s office.
"No problem Ms. Bai. I will habg up now, bye," Teacher Ann said before hanging up.
Bai Renxiang knocked twice on the door and waited for permission to come in. When she got one, she entered without hesitation.
"Good afternoon Mr Longwen," she said nervously.
"Good afternoon Ms. Bai. To what do I owe this visit," Mr Longwen asked as he dropped the files in his hands.
"Sir, may I ask for a half day leave from the company? Something urgent cropped up with my mother and it needs my attention," she lied smoothly.
"Is that so?" Mr Longwen asked as he eyed Bai Renxiang suspiciously. Meanwhile, Bai Renxiang kept a neutral face to mask her nervousness and worry for her son.
"Yes sir. It is so," she answered.
"Alright. I will grant you the half day leave because you have proven yourself worthy through your works and attitude on the company. You may leave," Mr Longwen agreed.
"Thank you sir," Bai Renxiang dipped her olhead down and excused herself from his office.
"And Ms. Bai," he called out which made her to stop in her steps and she turned to him.
"Take good care of your mother."
"Yes sir, I will. Thank you." With that said, she hurried out of the company and hailed a cab to Bai Xiaojin\'s school. It will take time for Shane to arrive at the company to pick and take her to the school if she was to call him.
It took Bai Renxiang thirty minutes to get to the school. After paying the cab driver, she hurried into the school. Information had already being sent to the security at the gate about the arrival of the children\'s parents, so it was not much of a hassle for Bai Renxiang to get in.
******
In the principal\'s office.
On getting to the office, Bai Renxiang met with the teacher in charge of Bai Xiaojin\'s class, and two other parents with their children. Teacher Ann told her that the real fight was between her son and a boy whose name she learned to be Su Quan.
After grasping a thing or two about the whole situation, she went into the office after Teacher Ann knocked and informed the principal of her arrival. Bai Renxiang thanked her and walked into the office. She saw Bai Xiaojin standing in a corner in the room.
"Good afternoon Mr Principal. Good afternoon Mrs..." Bai Renxiang did not know what to call the other woman in the room.
"Good afternoon Ms Bai. This is Mrs Su and her son Su Quan. Mrs Su, this is Ms. Bai and her son Bai Xiaojin," the principal introduced them.
"It is a pleasure meeting you Mrs Su," Bai Renxiang greeted out of respect for Mrs Su. She is afterall a young mum.
"Hmph. There is no pleasure in meeting a sl*t."
