Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 514 Daughter's Accident, Going to School

A quiet bar.

Ning Yao and Huo Zhijing sat on the edge of the bar and toasted each other with a drink.

Fate is a wonderful thing, especially when two rivals have never met but know each other beforehand.

"I really didn't expect you to be the race car driver I've been longing to see for two years. It's a pity you haven't had time to participate in races, otherwise we might have already met on the track." Huo Zhijing said with a smile as he looked at Ning Yao in front of him.

Hearing Huo Zhijing say this, Ning Yao gave a rather helpless yet unrepentant smile.

Indeed, after participating in that Formula One championship, Ning Yao didn't have time to focus her energy on racing.

Her child is facing enrollment issues, and with her preparing to return to her home country, finding a suitable school for her child is of paramount importance.

In Ning Yao's mind, nothing is more important than her child, not even her own dreams or hobbies.

The woman exuded a unique, cool fragrance, but Huo Zhijing couldn't identify the brand of the perfume.

It's less of a perfume scent and more of Ning Yao's own scent.

Ning Yao's faint fragrance lingered around Huo Zhijing's nose, and coupled with her open and innocent smile, her shallow dimples were very endearing. For a moment, Huo Zhijing's heart skipped a beat.

She's a very remarkable woman; she's experienced extraordinary things, and her personality is quite different from that of ordinary women.

“Your situation is complicated. I can see that you’re different from ordinary women.” Huo Zhijing thought this, and so he said it truthfully.

"What is an ordinary woman?" Ning Yao disagreed with Huo Zhijing's statement, furrowing her beautiful brows and continuing in a cold voice.

"In this world, whether man or woman, everyone is different. There is no standard definition of being ordinary or extraordinary."

Seeing Ning Yao's seriousness, Huo Zhijing raised his wine glass and took a sip, purely as an apology: "I misspoke."

Just as Ning Yao was about to say something, her phone vibrated. She put down her wine glass and said to Huo Zhijing, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Ning Yao hurriedly walked to the other end and quickly answered the phone call from her daughter's school teacher.

"Hello, Teacher Liu, what's wrong? Did something happen to Baoying at school?" Ning Yao's voice sounded a little nervous.

“There was indeed a problem. Recently, the class was electing class officers. These officers were all elected by the students in the class. It was an open, fair and transparent process. But Bao Ying was not elected, so she was a little upset and even cried.”

"Later, she called her brother, a boy named Wen Aixiu. As soon as he arrived in the classroom, he pulled the class monitor to a corner, which scared the boy so much that he wet his pants on the spot."

"The child's parents have arrived at the school, so I'd like to ask you to come over here as well. Is that convenient for you?"

Ning Yao understood. The gist of it was that Bao Ying had been wronged, so Ai Xiu went to Bao Ying's school to seek justice for her.

It seems the methods used were quite extreme, otherwise Bao Ying wouldn't have been so frightened.

After a moment's thought, Ning Yao said in a cool voice, "No problem, I'll be there right away."

The teacher said a few more polite words and then hung up the phone.

Back in her seat, Ning Yao saw that Huo Zhijing had also just put down his phone.

"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry..."

"Miss Ning Yao, I'm so sorry..."

The two spoke almost simultaneously, then froze, looking at each other in confusion.

"Well, something happened to my daughter at school, so I have to go there. I'll treat you to drinks another time," Huo Zhijing explained.

"Your daughter was in trouble too?" Ning Yao frowned immediately upon hearing Huo Zhijing's words, her heart filled with doubt.

Isn't Huo Wanwan in the same school and class as her daughter Baoying? What happened to her?

"also?"

"Let's talk in the car, my car is nearby."

Upon hearing this keyword, Huo Zhijing immediately asked a question, but he quickly realized the problem.

Ning Yao got into the car with Huo Zhijing. She was anxious to know how her daughter was doing and what about that disobedient brat.

The two exchanged information on their way to school.

As expected, Huo Wanwan's troubles were also due to Bao Ying.

Bao Ying was wronged because of the election of class officers. Huo Wanwan felt sorry for her friend and stood up for Bao Ying without hesitation. Wen Aixiu was someone Huo Wanwan put into the school. The two of them even beat up the male classmate who took Bao Ying's position as class monitor.

For this reason, Huo Zhijing also received a call from the school teacher, asking him to come to the school.

"I'm so sorry, it's my daughter's matter that has dragged your daughter into this." Although Ning Yao felt sorry for her own daughter Bao Ying, she could still distinguish right from wrong and the importance of the matter, since Huo Wanwan was called to the teacher's office because she was helping Bao Ying.

This apology must be expressed; it is the most basic courtesy.

"It's alright. Baoying is Wanwan's good friend. Protecting her good friend is what she should do. It's not like she's dragging her down," Huo Zhijing replied calmly, looking at the road in front of the car window.

Compared to Ning Yao's anxiety, Huo Zhijing seemed much calmer. It was just a minor incident involving children at school; it wouldn't be a big deal. If it were anything serious, the school would probably have notified them to go to the hospital directly.

Ning Yao stopped talking and just stared at the scenery outside the car window, her brows furrowed tightly.

Upon arrival at the school, the homeroom teacher personally greeted the two parents outside the school gate and led them to her office.

Meanwhile, four children were also standing in the office. One of them, a thin and timid boy, had his shoulders hunched and his pants were soaking wet. It was obvious that he was the victim who had been beaten up by Ning Yao's son and Huo Zhijing's daughter.

Wen Baoying stood next to Wen Aixiu, with Huo Wanwan holding her hand. Their two little hands were tightly clasped together, creating a very loving scene.

Seeing that her daughter's eyes and nose were red and swollen, it was clear that she had been crying for a long time. Her big, bright, watery eyes were also slightly swollen, making her look especially pitiful.

"Why is Baoying crying? Come to Mommy quickly." Ning Yao was heartbroken. This was her precious baby whom she had carried for ten months. She must have suffered a great injustice to be crying like this.

When the parents of the thin boy saw that Ning Yao rushed to comfort their daughter instead of apologizing to her as soon as she entered the door, their resentment grew even stronger.

"Teacher, look at this! What does this mother mean? Didn't she come here to apologize and resolve the issue? Why didn't she say a word as soon as she came in? She just started comforting her daughter. Does she think we don't exist?"

The homeroom teacher was taken aback by the parent's tone and awkwardly tried to ease the tension: "It's normal for a mother to hug her child when he's crying like this."

"Ha, is that normal? I think her methods of raising children are wrong. Look how spoiled the child is!"

"It's just electing class officers. It's all decided by the students' votes. Wen Baoying didn't get elected because she's not capable enough, doesn't have the likable personality, and her grades aren't top-notch. What's the use of crying? Do you think you can get the class monitor position by crying?"

The thin boy's parents, looking smug and unforgiving, pointed at Ning Yao and began to scold her.

His expression and attitude made it seem as if Ning Yao was some kind of irresponsible parent.

Upon hearing what the woman said, Ning Yao's expression turned cold, and she turned to give the thin boy's mother a cold glance.

"The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so please don't jump to conclusions. Also, please speak with some respect. What do you mean my daughter is incompetent and doesn't have good relationships with her classmates? She's been class monitor for several semesters. If she really didn't have the ability, how could she have been re-elected?"

Ning Yao's wink and series of words were quite intimidating, causing the woman to instinctively take a few steps back and lower her voice considerably.

"So the fact that your daughter called on others to beat my son is undeniable, right?"
