The man's words gave the woman some comfort.
She pulled herself together.
She was mainly upset by Chen Jing showing up today and acting so unpredictably.
It had really shaken her.
The woman slowly let out a breath.
"All right."
She smiled.
"Let's take a taxi to the office."
"Otherwise, we'll really be late."
The woman called the teacher again.
She asked her to tell the child not to rush off when school let out, but to wait in the classroom for her parents to pick her up.
The teacher was a little confused.
Had...
something else happened?
The woman gave a bitter smile.
There was no need to hide anything.
Besides, she needed to ask the teacher to keep a close eye on the child at school.
"Oh, that tutor from before showed up again?"
The teacher was surprised.
So many days had passed...
She'd thought the matter was already over...
But...
it still wasn't over?!
"Yes."
The woman gave a bitter smile.
They'd both been badly startled.
How had she...
come back again?
But that was the reality.
They could only face it.
"Teacher, sorry for the trouble."
The woman sighed softly.
"Mm."
The teacher nodded. "Don't worry."
"I won't let the child leave school by herself."
The teacher understood the parents' misgivings and worries.
She made them a promise.
She seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.
She wanted to ask for more details.
But she worried that might be overstepping.
Clearly, the woman was already terribly distressed.
Would asking too many questions make her even more upset?
For a moment, the teacher was at a loss for words.
The woman took the initiative to say goodbye and hang up.
She needed to finish her work quickly
