A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 150

Linda had no other choice, but to agree with Charles. She knew what sort of a man Charles was. He was so stubborn that he stuck to his rules no matter what.

Around eight o'clock, John Lee's parents finally appeared.

Director Li led them to Linda's office.

After walking into the office, the first thing John Lee's father did was to storm towards John Lee and slap him hard on the face. John's father shouted, "How many times have I told you to focus on your study? What did you do? Tried to jump to your death? How dare you!"

The hard slap made one of John's cheeks swollen, but he remained silent with his face lowered.

But his mother intervened: "What are you doing! Why did you strike him? You are always so rude to him! Can't you understand violence never solves our problems? You are the one to blame for what our son did today. You let your job take up all of your time and pay no attention to your son. Can't you see? John tried to jump off the building today. I can't imagine how lonely and desperate he must have felt. What if something should happen to him one day? He's the only son we have. You've never cared for him! Chris Lee, what do you want? A divorce?"

Obviously, Chris Lee was the name of John's father.

John Lee's mother was wearing a business suit from which one could tell she was a career woman. She looked pale and a little bit tired.

"We've been so nice to him, giving him everything he wants. What's his problem? He used to be a well-behaved kid, doing well at school. What turned him into a problem kid?"

Chris Lee shouted, as he seemed to become increasingly angrier. His beard was fluttering. He raised his hand again, to give his son another slap.

John didn't even try to swing around to avoid it. Even though the second blow left a red welt on his face, John remained silent and stood there, staring at his father with red-rimmed eyes.

He didn't say a single word.

"Why the silence? Do you want to defy me with your silence?

I am going to teach you a lesson today!"

Chris Lee thundered as he raised his hands again. Then, Linda called Bun's name.

The quick-witted Bun immediately got up and darted to Chris Lee, catching his hand before it reached John's face.

"Why are you stopping me? I am trying to teach my son a lesson! Leave him to me. I'll teach him how to stay out of trouble. I can't believe the little bastard even pretended to commit suicide." Chris Lee was looking at Bun with his questioning eyes.

"You can't use violence. It's illegal." Bun said calmly.

"Violence? Come on, it's not that serious. I am just trying to educate my kid." Linda figured out that John's parents had been busy with their work, leaving no time to take care of John.

"So, you two must be Mr. and Mrs. Lee, John's parents. I asked you to come here because I want to discuss something about your son. I believe you've already learned that he tried to commit suicide by jumping off the fifth floor."

"Yes, we've learned." Chris Lee agreed.

"But it seems that the whole suicide thing doesn't worry you. You don't show any signs of concern even when you understood that your son wanted to kill himself. How could you? All you did was to strike him, trying to forcibly tell him to stay out of trouble. Have you ever cared for him? You think the whole thing is only his fault?" Linda got irritated by Chris Lee's actions. So she bombarded him with questions.

"That's not what it looks like... OK, what do you mean?" Chris Lee asked.

"Fine then, let's talk about the questions one by one. Well, first the matter of pornographic sites. John Lee once visited pornographic sites during class."

"Come on, Miss Xia. We've talked about it before. I've already punished him. He's just a little kid. I believe he didn't even know what he was doing at that time. Besides, he has apologized for it and assured us that it won't happen again. There is no need to send him down, you see. Please go easy on him..."

Linda interrupted: "But I want to tell you that John didn't visit pornographic sites during class. That's a mistake."

Chris Lee was surprised: "He didn't? No way. We were told that Director Li caught him red-handed."

Linda said, "OK, Bun. Go and get Director Li and Mrs Tang for us."

"OK."

Bun replied and immediately headed up to Director Li's office and delivered Linda's request. It annoyed Director Li to do what Linda asked because Linda was just a newcomer here. But she didn't have any other choice. The principal had told her several times not to offend Charles Mu's wife-to-be.

After leaving Director Li's office, Bun went down to Amber Tang's office on the fifth floor. At that time, Amber Tang was packing up, ready to leave.

Amber Tang mistook Bun for the mother of one of her students. But it seemed that Bun was too young to be the mother of a teenager. Amber Tang got confused. She asked, "I am sorry, but you are?"

"Good afternoon, Mrs Tang. I am the new gym teacher. I hate to bother you, but I need your help. Would you kindly go with me?"

Amber Tang pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and began to frown. She had to go back home and bath her daughter.

"Sorry, I can't come right now. I have to run some errands. Maybe we could talk tomorrow."

Bun pleaded, "This has to be finished today. It won't take long. We really need your help, please."

The polite smile on Amber's face faded and she began to pull a long face. "What's the problem with her? I've already told her I can't go. How can she think she is entitled to ask me to do something for her? Who does she think she is?" Amber Tang thought.
