After the divorce, I became a mountain god

At this moment, the boy named Li Ruihang, who was standing to the side, looked at Ma Shiyao with a victorious expression and said to her, "Did you hear that? Teacher Ma Shiyao told you to apologize! Hurry up, my legs are getting numb from standing here!"

After hearing Li Ruihang's words, Ma Shiyao pouted angrily and said to Li Ruihang, "Hmph, we did nothing wrong, why should we apologize to you, you big bad guy!"

Yesterday, Ma Lu and Shi Xinyi's conversation with Ma Shiyao made Ma Shiyao feel that her parents love her very much and will always stand up for her. They also told her to speak up bravely when she is wronged, which gave Ma Shiyao a strong sense of security. Moreover, her godfather is here today, with two grown men protecting her. She is not afraid of a little kid like Li Ruihang, so she dares to express her thoughts boldly.

Upon hearing Ma Shiyao's rebuttal, Xu Bo'an and Ma Lu both gave her a thumbs up. Ma Lu said to Ma Shiyao, "That's right! You have to fight back when you're bullied, otherwise people will think we're easy to bully. Keep it up from now on, and Dad will stand up for you!"

Xu Bo'an patted Ma Shiyao's little head and said to her, "That's right, don't be afraid, you still have your godfather. Your godfather will stand up for you! We can't let our little princess be bullied by others!"

After hearing what her two fathers said, Ma Shiyao's face lit up with joy, and she gave them a sweet smile.

After overhearing their conversation, the mother of the little boy named Li Ruihang couldn't help but curl her lip, looking at Xu Bo'an and Ma Lu with a contemptuous smile, and said, "Although there is strength in numbers, two penniless people like you huddling together for warmth will be of no use, haha..."

Teacher Yu also said, "Hehe, little princess, huh? Little princess is a term used for children from wealthy families. A child from a family like yours should be properly educated on how to survive in society, right?"

Xu Bo'an overheard the entire conversation between Teacher Yu, Ma Lu, and the mother named Li Ruihang. He knew without a doubt that Teacher Yu was siding with the family of the little boy named Li Ruihang.

Xu Bo'an had long disliked Teacher Yu and the little boy's mother, and said to them, "Excuse me, but I think you two should really learn how to survive. Don't you know that there are always people more capable than you?"

Now that things have come to a head, Teacher Yu is no longer polite and said to Xu Bo'an, "I know very well about Ma Shiyao's family situation. Her parents are both unemployed, they even rent a house, and they pick her up and drop her off at school on a beat-up electric scooter. She is even adopted. With such family conditions, you're telling me there are people better than you? Even if there are, it's impossible for you to be among them."

The mother, named Li Ruihang, looked at Xu Bo'an and smiled contemptuously, saying, "Ma Shiyao's family is so poor, yet you can get so close to them. That just means you're just a poor wretch yourself. It's ridiculous that a poor wretch speaks with such arrogance!"

Xu Bo'an looked at the two of them and said, "Really? You're hilarious, but you'll be crying later!"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the two burst into laughter, exclaiming, "Haha... Cry? How could that be?"

Xu Bo'an said, "We're here today to resolve this issue properly. We've been talking to you for so long, but we haven't reached any conclusions. My patience is limited. Since you refuse to admit it, then let's check the surveillance footage. We'll definitely be able to see clearly what's going on with Ma Shiyao at school!"

Although many private kindergartens now connect their monitoring systems to the internet to cater to parents' needs, attract more students, and improve their reputation and profitability, allowing parents to check on their children's activities and performance at school anytime on their mobile phones and computers.

However, some kindergartens do not share their surveillance footage for reasons such as management, privacy, and technology. They worry that frequent viewing by parents will affect the normal order of the classroom and the school, and may infringe on the privacy of other children or teachers.

The school Ma Shiyao attends does not have shared surveillance footage. Because the school has always had a good reputation, they don't have to worry about enrollment and don't need to use these fancy things to attract parents to enroll.

Therefore, although the school has installed surveillance cameras, they are only available for internal teachers to view, and outsiders generally cannot see them at all.

The person in charge of the surveillance was a relative of Li Ruihang. He said that if they didn't want them to watch, they wouldn't be able to see it. So when Teacher Yu heard Xu Bo'an ask to see the surveillance footage, he wasn't panicked at all and said to Xu Bo'an, "Our surveillance cameras are not allowed to be viewed by outsiders!"

Xu Bo'an said to the teacher in an unquestionable tone, "If we can't solve our problem, shouldn't we look for evidence?"

Teacher Yu reiterated, "I've already said that outsiders are not allowed to view our school's surveillance cameras. If you insist on viewing them, that's causing trouble! I have every right to kick you out!"

Upon hearing Teacher Yu's words, Xu Bo'an chuckled softly and said, "Making trouble? How ridiculous! You can't solve the problem and are clearly biased towards the other parents. We're protecting our rights and checking the surveillance footage, and that's considered making trouble? It's utterly laughable!"

Xu Bo'an ignored them and said to Ma Lu, "Since Teacher Yu won't let us check the surveillance footage, we'll go check it ourselves!"

After saying that, Ma Lu and Xu Bo'an ignored Teacher Yu and the little boy's mother and left with Ma Shiyao.

Upon seeing this, Teacher Yu quickly whispered in the little boy's mother's ear, "We can't let them see. Let's follow them!"

The little boy usually received a lot of care from Teacher Yu. The woman knew in her heart that her son had been spoiled by his family since he was a child, and she also knew that her son had bullied Ma Shiyao. However, in her heart, as long as her son was not bullied, she didn't care about other people's feelings at all.

If they really found the surveillance footage and discovered this, would she and her son have to bow down and apologize to these poor people? How could she, who was always so proud, possibly tolerate that? To her, it was an insult.

The teacher was worried that if they saw the surveillance footage, it would expose her indifference towards Ma Shiyao when she was bullied, as well as the subtle and overt differences in her tone towards Ma Shiyao that she usually showed. That would be hard to explain.

Both Teacher Yu and the little boy's mother had their own ulterior motives, so after seeing Ma Lu and Xu Bo'an leave with Ma Shiyao, they quickly followed, fearing they might see the surveillance footage and it would affect them. After Xu Bo'an and Ma Lu found out the exact location of the surveillance room, they led Ma Shiyao there. Upon arriving, they found the door closed. Xu Bo'an gently knocked, and a woman's voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Xu Bo'an pushed open the door and walked into the monitoring room with Ma Lu and Ma Shiyao. The woman in charge of the monitoring thought that a female teacher from the school had come to see her, but she didn't expect to see a bunch of unfamiliar faces. The woman asked Xu Bo'an and Ma Lu very politely, "What brings you here?"

Xu Bo'an said, "We'd like to check the surveillance footage from Class 3!"

Although the school's surveillance cameras at the bilingual Chinese-English kindergarten where Ma Shiyao attends are not shared with parents, the school stipulates that parents can check the footage after informing the teachers of each class. Because of this rule, even though the school does not share the network with parents, and given the school's reputation, parents are relatively reassured.

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the woman asked them, "Have you spoken to the teacher yet?"

Just then, Teacher Yu and the mother of the little boy named Li Ruihang also entered the monitoring room. Teacher Yu said to the staff member in charge of monitoring, "They didn't greet me. Don't pay attention to them. They're just here to cause trouble at the school because they have nothing better to do!"

Then Li Ruihang's mother chimed in, "They're just making trouble out of nothing! They're saying our Hanghang bullied a little girl named Ma Shiyao, isn't that just nonsense?"

The woman who managed the surveillance cameras was a distant relative of Li Ruihang's mother. This job was introduced to her by her cousin. She had only been working there for less than a month when she noticed that neither Teacher Yu nor her cousin wanted Ma Lu and Xu Bo'an to view the surveillance footage.

Upon hearing Ma Shiyao's name, he understood even more clearly what he should do!

Because the woman managing the surveillance was related to Li Ruihang's mother, and this teacher would often tell her about Li Ruihang, the two became quite close. Naturally, she had also heard about Ma Shiyao. Based on the teacher's description, Ma Shiyao naturally became the representative of poverty in the woman's mind.

The woman managing the surveillance cameras said to Ma Lu and Xu Bo'an, "I'm sorry, but our school has a rule that you can only view the footage with the permission of the teacher in charge!"

At this moment, the little boy named Li Ruihang, who was standing to the side, looked at Ma Shiyao and the others, stuck out his tongue, and said to them, "Hehe, you can't see!"

Ma Shiyao pointed at the woman managing the surveillance cameras and said to Xu Bo'an and Ma Lu, "This lady is a relative of Li Ruihang's family. I usually hear Li Ruihang call her 'Auntie.' Li Ruihang's mother won't let us watch, so naturally she won't let us watch either!"

Xu Bo'an and Ma Lu only understood what was going on after hearing their daughter Ma Shiyao's words. Xu Bo'an said to the person in charge of monitoring, "No wonder you were so nice to us at first, but you changed after seeing them. You're all in cahoots!"

The girl in charge of the surveillance was still young and didn't dare to cause trouble. She was quite polite to Xu Bo'an and said, "I've always been very nice to you, but it's just a rule of the school and there's nothing I can do about it!"

Xu Bo'an said to the girl, "Rules? Our child has been bullied, and the teacher isn't giving us an explanation or solving the problem. We need to check the surveillance footage to resolve this! I'm asking you one last time, are you going to let us see it or not? If you don't let us see it, then we're going to go to the principal."

The girl heard Xu Bo'an and his friends say they were going to see the principal, and knew they wouldn't give up until they got to the bottom of things. She knew the surveillance footage showed Li Ruihang bullying Ma Shiyao, but her cousin had introduced her to this job, and if they saw the footage, her cousin would definitely use her connections to fire her. But seeing how determined they were to resolve the issue, she knew she would still be punished if it went to the principal. What could she do? The girl was extremely conflicted.

The girl stammered, "I...I..."

The mother of the little boy named Li Ruihang, who was standing to the side, saw the girl's hesitation and said to her in an annoyed tone, "Zhao Jiahui, don't forget how you got this job?"

The "Zhao Jiahui" mentioned by the mother of the little boy named Li Ruihang is the girl who manages the surveillance system.

After hearing her cousin's words, Zhao Jiahui said, "But, but..."

Li Ruihang's mother said to her sternly, "But what? Do your job well, otherwise..."

Xu Bo'an noticed the girl's hesitation and knew that she might have had a reason for not letting them see the footage. He continued, "So she introduced you to this job. But you know that even if you don't let me see it today, I will still go to the principal. I don't believe that the principal would not allow parents to see the surveillance footage. Sooner or later, we will all see it."

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the girl thought for a while as if she had made up her mind, and then said to Xu Bo'an and Ma Lu, "Well, you guys see... Anyway, I can't keep this job, so I'll just consider it as me speaking out for justice!"

Upon hearing Zhao Jiahui's words, Li Ruihang's mother angrily said to her, "You... I got this job for you by pulling strings. If you show it to them today, I'll have someone pack your bags and send you home immediately!"

Since Zhao Jiahui already knew she wouldn't be able to keep this job sooner or later, she directly confronted Li Ruihang's mother, saying, "Fine, I won't do it! Ever since you helped me find this job, you've been showing off in front of me all the time, trying to suppress me in everything. I don't want to be your puppet anymore. And I have to keep your son's bullying of other children a secret on the security camera every day. My conscience is really bothering me! Do whatever you want, I'm not putting up with this anymore!"

Upon hearing Zhao Jiahui's words, the woman angrily retorted, "You're such an ungrateful wretch! Just you wait! You'll see how I deal with you later!" (End of Chapter)
