Ch.263 Mama Doesn’t Love Papa? (4)
Lu Ting sat up, sleepiness still in his eyes. When he saw her crying like a kitten, he moved over to wipe her tears and coaxed her softly. "I was just borrowing your chest to sleep on for a while, no need to be so stingy."
Lin Yueqi hung her head and continued rubbing her eyes, voice as quiet as a mosquito. "Lu Ting, my heart hurts."
"What's wrong? Because of Tuantuan?" Lu Ting looked at her with a tight frown and continued wiping her tears. "Don't cry, it hurts my heart."
Looking up at the man, she blinked her wet eyes. After a pause, she said, "I'm not feeling hurt because of that. It's because of that...I'm scared. I'm worried that Tuantuan will be disliked in school and become ostracized. I'm scared that she'll be bullied..."
"How could she? You're overthinking it." Lu Ting comforted her. "Tuantuan's our child. Who would dare to bully her? What's more, there are teachers in school."
She shook her head and went on, "What if they bully her behind the teachers' backs? And what if the teachers were bullying here too?"
Those words reminded Lu Ting.
Last week, Lu Ting attended a parent and child conference at school. He had seen Tuantuan's teacher before and had some impression of her. He had the constant nagging feeling that the teacher looked familiar, as if he'd seen her somewhere.
When Tuantuan was complaining to him earlier, he didn't think of it, but what Lin Yueqi said now did.
He immediately took out his cell phone and asked the kindergarten director to send her information about Tuantuan's class teacher. After receiving the information, he passed it to his assistant and told him to investigate her.
After about fifteen minutes, the assistant came back with a reply, confirming that Tuantuan's teacher, Le Xiao, was in fact Liu Tong's wife.
The reason Lu Ting left for "Nature's Big Storm" was so he could lure out the company spy. And, this Liu Tong, actually took high-level secrets from the company as a high-ranking staff to sell to a large American company. Even though the Qiancheng Group was a family business, they have been hiring people outside to take on the role of CEO.
Originally, with Liu Tong's qualifications, there would be no problem with him becoming the Qiancheng Group's CEO. However, it was at this time that Lu Ting suddenly appeared.
He felt that he had done a lot for the company but did not get the same return. So, he sold out his company. When Lu Ting left his job to join the reality TV show, "Nature's Big Storm", Liu Tong took this opportunity to discredit him in front of the board of directors, to make the shareholders think that he was incapable.
However, it was because he was so anxious to prove himself that he exposed himself.
Subsequently, Liu Tong was fired. But this man never learned. After his job was gone, he went to Mara Island to gamble, losing 90 million overnight, almost causing his wife and child to lose their house overnight. It was likely due to the pressure of this sudden fall that he killed himself.
As for why Tuantuan said those words, it was not hard to imagine. That was definitely not something a bunch of kids would talk about.
Lin Yueqi looked at him with red eyes. "So you think that it was the teacher who taught the kids all that?"
She suddenly shuddered. It was extremely easy for a teacher to skew the views of children without a proper sense of morality yet.
Lu Ting stroked her head and said softly, "Just leave the matter to me, alright?"
Lin Yueqi looked at him and nodded.
Probably because of how terrible she was feeling, she was choked up when she asked Lu Ting, "Old Lu, I still feel very bad. It's like reading an abusive novel. I feel tormented. Can you give me a hug?"
Lu Ting sat cross-legged on the bed facing her and spread his arms.
She didn't jump into the man's arms, but instead laid down directly on his crossed legs. She told him about the gist of what she saw in her dreams.
Even though the golden finger systems she mentioned from her dreams were unrealistic to Lu Ting, it still felt like a nightmare. Especially when Lin Yueqi mentioned Tuantuan's end. A cold sadness inexplicably spread through his limbs.
As a father, he didn't care how much suffering he had to go through himself, but hearing his child in pain made it feel as if his heart was laying on top of pins and needles.
