Pointing at Long Xiaoxi, who was behind him, Shi Bao’er gibed, “Get your brother to protect you 24/7 if you can. Otherwise, I’ll definitely hit you.”

Long Wenlun flew into a rage and pulled his sister to the front. Pointing at Long Xiaoxi, he taunted, “Go ahead, try and lay a finger on her if you dare! See if I dare hit you or not!”

Not intimidated by him at all, Shi Bao’er kicked Long Xiaoxi in the gut, causing her to fall to the ground and wince in pain. However, the consequences of her actions were dire.

While Shi Bao’er was being beaten into a pulp by Long Wenlun, her accomplice, Wen Yuechan, was frightened out of her senses and immediately proceeded to look for the teacher.

Shi Bao’er was bawling incessantly when the teacher arrived.

After hearing about what happened, the teacher called Shi Shaochuan and Long Tianze separately and asked them to make their way to the academy.

The teacher then explained the incident to them.

However, was that the end of everything?

Not at all…

When the fathers were facing each other, Long Tianze said immediately, “I don’t think it’s suitable for Bao’er to continue staying here. It’s better that she goes back to school.”

Needless to say, Shi Shaochuan did not want to bring his daughter home again, for that would mean that he would have his freedom robbed away from him again. Now that Bu Xianxian was living with him and they were both enjoying their time alone, Shi Bao’er’s return would mean…

“I’m sure you’re aware that Bao’er has been spoiled rotten by Jin Qingyue throughout the years that she had raised her. She can’t take any hardship at all. Qingyue and I have reached a consensus to send Bao’er here. In fact, we’ve seen the progress Bao’er has achieved during her time here as well.”

A frown creased Long Tianze’s forehead and he said, “Since you’re unwilling to send her to school, what’s going to happen if something like that happens again…?”

“I’ll reprimand Bao’er if she’s the one at fault. However, if your children were the ones who bullied Bao’er first, shouldn’t you discipline and take them into hand as well?”

“That goes without saying.”

“There’s nothing else for us to talk about then. Let’s leave it at that,” said Shi Shaochuan.

Long Tianze walked toward his children and caressed his son’s head before squatting down to look at his precious daughter, who was pulling a long face. He smiled and said, “Well done, you two. Remember my words. You must retaliate and defend yourself against anyone who bullies you, regardless of who it may be. Don’t hold back, especially you, Wenlun. Although men are supposed to be gentlemanly, that only applies to those who are polite to you.”

Long Xiaoxi threw her arms around his neck and said, “Daddy, I really, really detest Shi Bao’er and Wen Yuechan so much. Could you tell Godpa not to let them stay here any longer?”

He answered softly, “Xiaoxi, although I can make that Wen Yuechan leave this place, Shi Bao’er is your Godpa’s niece. It won’t be easy to kick her out. Listen to me, it takes skill to be able to live in the same environment as the people you detest. My little baby is so upset. Shall I buy you some ice cream? I’ll get you a huge one.”

Long Xiaoxi asked, “Daddy, am I very fat?”

“No, you’re not,” Long Tianze answered in astonishment.

“Daddy, everyone calls me fat, I must lose weight in the future.”

Displeased to hear her words, Long Tianze said, “You don’t have to lose any weight. I don’t find you fat at all. I like the way you are now. Eat properly when you should, you’re not allowed to go on a diet. You’re still so young. You’ll become slimmer when you’re older.”
