Chapter 68 Adulthood and Worldliness
Yan Changye paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you injured?"

Shen Zongqian hesitated: "There are superficial wounds, but the other party's child is more seriously injured."

Has Xie Yuheng returned to Hong Kong?

Shen Zongqian nodded: "He went to the cemetery this morning and went straight back to Gangdu. Judging by the time, he should be here by now."

Yan Changye said "Oh," and replied, "For such a trivial matter, let the teacher call Xie Yuheng."

Shen Zongqian paused for two seconds and then said, "Okay, BOSS."

Hong Kong – Xie Yuheng just got off the plane.

After receiving a phone call, Li Ke, the assistant beside him, looked at his boss with a slightly complicated expression:

"The kindergarten called and said that Xie Jian and the other two had fought again, and now the other parents are making a big fuss."

Xie Yuheng's usually aloof and indifferent expression flickered with a hint of helplessness: "Postpone the afternoon meeting and go to the kindergarten now."

Gangdu International Kindergarten.

This kindergarten, which ranks extremely high in Hong Kong and has a tuition fee of nearly HK$100,000, is a veritable elite school in Hong Kong, and its students are all children from wealthy families in Hong Kong.

Such children are prone to getting into a lot of trouble even from minor bumps and bruises.

Not to mention the high-profile child disputes involving children covered in bruises.

In the principal's office, the female principal was completely overwhelmed!
The surveillance footage was played on a loop in the principal's office.

The principal and several teachers from the senior class were carefully apologizing to three well-dressed, angry parents.
"We are truly sorry; it was an oversight on our part. Because it was an outdoor activity, the teachers were spread out, and we didn't expect that Xie Jian and the other children would start making a ruckus while playing on the stairs. We will issue a notice of criticism to the teachers involved and provide some compensation to the children."

"Do we need your few coins?" one of the parents slammed his fist on the table. "The time wasted just coming here is enough to cover my child's tuition for three years. Principal Xu, even during lunch break, you shouldn't let the children play outside by themselves, especially in a dangerous place like the stairwell. Putting aside why the children were fighting, I'm very dissatisfied with your management."

"Yes, we will definitely correct this." The principal, sweat beading on his forehead, kept apologizing. "Don't worry, this situation will absolutely never happen again."

"Now let's talk about these children." The parent's gaze fell on the five children standing crookedly in the corner. The three sturdy children had their clothes almost torn, their faces were bruised and swollen, and their arms were covered in bruises. At this moment, they were crying with tears and snot streaming down their faces.

The other two children, who looked thin and frail, were in just as bad shape, but they just stood there quietly without shedding a single tear. Coupled with their delicate little faces, it was hard to vent one's anger.

The parent glared disdainfully at their sobbing child: "Three against two, and you still lost? You have the nerve to cry here!"

Another parent exclaimed, "Mr. Liu, you can't blame our own child for this. The other party started it. Look how badly they beat our child. We can't let this go."

“Exactly.” The third parent also said coldly, “We need to urge the other parent when they’re coming. My child has never been beaten like this in his life. He’s bleeding in several places. I want to see whose child is so lawless.”

The principal quickly said, "The other party's parents are on their way. Please wait a moment. It's just a conflict between children, so I hope the parents won't hurt the harmony."

"What are the names of these two children?"

“Dad, his name is Xie Jian, the one I told you about, the one who always gets into fights in class.” A child cried out, “He’s beaten up almost all the boys in the class, waaaaah, we got beaten up the worst this time.”

"Surname Xie?" Several parents exchanged glances, one of them pondering, "There are only three wealthy families with the surname Xie in Hong Kong, I wonder which one it is?" Another hesitated, "Not four? Besides the three ordinary wealthy families with the surname Xie, there's also that number one conglomerate..."

The third parent said, "Oh? The Xie family? Children from those super-rich families receive elite family education and are unlikely to appear in public kindergartens."

The principal explained in a low voice, "Xie Jian's information for both of them is blank in the parent section. Only someone from the school board might know. But these two children are usually easy to get along with. This time, they were really scolded and got angry."

Everyone who was present has seen the surveillance footage.

One parent casually remarked, "They're just saying their parents don't care about them. How can that be considered an insult? Half the kids in the class come from single-parent families, and I don't see them fighting over these kinds of arguments all the time. My lawyer will be here soon. The children are young, so I'll talk to the other parents directly about how to handle the compensation."

Other parents nodded in agreement: "Our lawyers are on their way too."

These were all wealthy and influential families, and the parents often met in their social circles. Given the unclear situation, the three parents did not try to make things difficult for their child, but instead turned their attention to the child's guardian who was about to arrive.

When Xie Yuheng and Li Ke arrived, the principal's office was filled with the parents of the three parties involved, as well as several lawyers and actuaries, and a large stack of compensation lists had been compiled.

Xie Yuheng's exquisite face and captivating aura stunned everyone present in an instant!

He doesn't appear in the public eye often, but this powerful figure in Hong Kong's entertainment circle has been in charge of the Tse family conglomerate for five years, ruthlessly reshuffling the wealthy family three times. He has long been feared by those in power in the wealthy families, and his appearance is widely known among the wealthy families. He is considered the most unapproachable living devil.

The parents, who had been leisurely discussing compensation with the legal team, suddenly fell silent, their expressions changing slightly.

When Xie Yuheng's cool and aloof expression fell upon seeing Xie Jian, who was dressed in a disheveled state in the corner, a thin layer of frost appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your help, come here." He frowned slightly, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

Xie Jian touched his nose, then toddled into Xie Yuheng's arms with his short legs. His eyes reddened, and the grievances he had been holding back for so long turned into tears that streamed down his face.

"They insulted me first! And the insults they used were really nasty!"

Xie Yuheng didn't say anything, but checked him over from head to toe. Seeing that it was all superficial wounds, he was slightly relieved and bent down to pick him up.

Nearby, several parents were completely blank-minded.

The parent who had just calmly stated that it was impossible for a child from the Xie family conglomerate to be here forced a forced laugh:

"So it's Chairman Xie's child! This young master looks just like you. We were blind and didn't recognize him at first. Today's incident was just children playing around. Please don't take it to heart, Chairman Xie."

Other parents chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's a misunderstanding! We'll discipline our children properly when we get home and make sure they don't upset Young Master Xie again!"

Xie Yuheng ignored them and turned his aloof gaze to another child.

The child stood casually in the corner, his face carrying a hint of mockery. He was more disheveled than Xie Jian, yet possessed an innate elegance and nobility. His delicate peach blossom eyes gazed aloofly at the people in the office, his pupils deep, and he remained silent.

Xie Yuheng stared at him for a long while.

Then, he spoke softly:
"Yan Yu, come here too."
