After Returning Home, The Female CEO Gave Me A Daughter Chapter 27

She was still afraid that Shen Qingyan would be bullied.

Especially, terribly afraid.

She knew that Shen Qingyan was already struggling enough, so from the time she could remember, she had always been exceptionally well-behaved, never causing Shen Qingyan the slightest trouble. That was also why, for so long, she had chosen to swallow her pride and endure Chen Hao's insults...

And then.

Tang Yao felt herself pulled into an incredibly warm embrace. A familiar scent filled her nostrils as a familiar voice sounded by her ear: "Yaoyao, don't be afraid. Dad is here!"

The little girl's body stiffened abruptly, then went limp in Tang Chen's arms.

At that moment, she could no longer hold onto her strength. Tears fell like beads from a broken string, her sobs growing louder and louder, gradually turning into wailing cries.

She knew.

She knew that now that Tang Chen was here, she didn't have to be strong anymore, didn't have to worry, didn't have to be afraid...

Because she also knew.

Her dad would protect her!

"Sorry, I'm late."

Tang Chen patted Tang Yao's back as he looked up at Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan lightly covered her face, her eyes slowly reddening as well...

Tang Chen stood up, holding Tang Yao, and reached out a hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Shen Qingyan's eyes, then gently took her hand.

Feeling the warmth that brushed across her face and finally settled on her hand, Shen Qingyan felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

"Yaoyao, tell Dad, what exactly happened?" Tang Chen asked softly to the daughter in his arms.

And this time.

Tang Yao finally spoke.

Her voice was muffled and heavy as she said, "Chen Hao, he kept calling me a wild child without a dad..."

"Every day he said it, every day..."

"He also wouldn't let the other kids play with me..."

As she spoke.

Tang Yao's voice kept choking with sobs.

"I didn't want, didn't want to cause Mom trouble, so I just ignored him. But today, after school started, he came and insulted me again, saying I don't have a dad."

"But I do have a dad!"

"So I argued with him, I argued back."

"I said I have a dad, and told him to stop talking about me."

"But he just insulted me, said my dad was already dead, said if I had a dad, he'd be a ghost crawling out of a grave..."

"My dad is the best dad in the world, how could he be a ghost? So I wanted to hit him. I was afraid I couldn't win, so I grabbed a chair..."

As she spoke, teardrops as big as beans streamed wildly from Tang Yao's eyes.

Listening to her words.

Tang Chen's heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife, bleeding profusely.

Shen Qingyan felt the same.

She clenched her fists, her nails nearly digging into her palms, her face full of self-blame and regret.

Why hadn't she paid more attention to Tang Yao, letting her suffer this kind of grievance for so long without knowing until now?

At the same time.

She was even angrier!

She lifted her head sharply and looked at Li Yin: "Teacher Li, is this what you call my daughter attacking someone for no reason?"

"Yaoyao's mom, I... I didn't know either!"

Cold sweat broke out on Li Yin's forehead.

"You didn't know?"

Shen Qingyan asked coldly in return: "As a teacher, a student in your class being bullied like this every day, and you didn't know?"

"Well..." Li Yin wanted to defend herself, but opened her mouth and found she had nothing to say.

"Last time after school, Yaoyao went missing, and that was the result of your irresponsibility. Luckily nothing serious happened, so I didn't say much to you. But what's the result?"

"All this time, you let my daughter be bullied, and then you want us to apologize?"

Shen Qingyan's voice was low, but every word was forceful: "I hope you give me a reasonable explanation!"

A woman is soft by nature, but a mother becomes strong.

Whoever dares to bully Tang Yao...

Shen Qingyan would really fight to the death with them!

Seeing Shen Qingyan like this, Li Yin panicked.

"So you're that mother-daughter pair with no father and no husband... Chapter 4, please add to collection."

"Director Qian, your son is truly handsome and striking!"

At the kindergarten entrance, a Passat pulled up.

A middle-aged fat man and a four- or five-year-old chubby kid got out from the back seat.

The two were nearly identical in build, size, and looks—one glance and you could tell they were father and son.

After the father and son got out, a man in his fifties or sixties hurried over, fawning as he spoke.

The old man was named Shao Qing.

He was the principal of this public kindergarten.

Qian Xiaogang, catching the old face nearly pressing into his own and smelling the bad breath wafting over, stepped aside in disgust.

Noticing Qian Xiaogang's blatant move, Shao Qing didn't get angry, annoyed, or embarrassed. He gestured with a hand and said, "Director Qian, please come in!"

Qian Teng nodded, called out to Qian Xiaogang, and walked into the kindergarten.

The little chubby boy, as he walked, pulled a Strepsils from his pocket and started munching on it noisily.

"Director Qian, look, this is our playground—the activity area for the children."

"This is our cafeteria. The food here is excellent, absolutely top-notch—it'll definitely help your son's physique reach the next level!"

"Over here are the classrooms. Our classrooms are usually very quiet, providing a good environment for the kids to rest and study..."

Shao Qing led Qian Teng on a tour, chattering nonstop with self-praise.

But as he spoke, a woman's screeching, scolding voice rang out.

Shao Qing's fawning expression stiffened.

He had just been bragging to Qian Teng.

This voice was undoubtedly slapping him in the face.

He grabbed a passing teacher and said, "Go see what's going on over there!"

"Yes, Principal!"

The female teacher nodded and quickly jogged toward the direction of the noise.

"Director Qian, this is an accident—the classrooms are usually very quiet... Let's check out this area first..."

He made a gesture for Qian Teng to proceed.

Qian Teng glanced in that direction but still followed Shao Qing toward another path.

Although the Shen Group had always been in a precarious state, Shen Qingyan had been president for quite a while. Dealing with employees and a bunch of sly old foxes, she had long honed a cold, oppressive aura.
