CHAPTER 102
"Mum," Bai Renxiang called.
"Renxiang? What are you doing here? Did you lose from work early?" Jiang ilin asked as she turned to to look at her daughter.
"No, I did not mum. I took a half day leave from work," Bai Renxiang walked over to stand beside her mother to see what she was doing before her arrival.
"Really? Why is that? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital to get you checked?" Jiang ilin proposed worriedly.
She placed the back of her palm on the side of Bai Renxiang's neck to check her temperature. Bai Renxiang's neck was just warm.
"I am fine mum. I used you as an excuse to get permission for the leave. My superior told to take good care of you," she told.
"Why you naughty girl. So you used you perfect fine mother as an aliby to laze around here at ho. I am quiet mad," Jiang ilin chided her.
"I am sorry mum. Sothing urgent ca up and u could not tell mum superior the truth," Bai Renxiang defended herself.
"Oh! So what is this urgent sothing that ca up and you could not tell your superior and made you use your healthy mother to lie?" Jiang ilin folded her arms under her chest with her brows raised.
"I got a call from Bai Xiaojin's school," Bai Renxiang said.
On hearing Bai Xiaojin's school, Jiang ilin's expression changed from playfully seriously to seriously serious. A topic about her grandson is not sothing to be trifled with.
"His teacher called . She said that Xiaojin had gotten into a fight with so boys in school and as per the principal's wish, I needed to be there," Bai Renxiang said with a sad face.
"What? Our little Jin fought with more than a boy? I refuse to believe it," Jiang ilin spoke in disbelief.
"I know. I myself was surprised on hearing the news from the teacher. That was why I took the leave and hurried to hear s school. I did not even call Shane," she sighed and grabbed another stool to sit on beside her mother.
"So I got there and discovered that Xiaojin fought with only one kid. He had a few injuries here and there while the other only had beside he's lips. But it seems that only the other child got treated and mine was not."
"What's how is that even fair? Are they not both children of the school? Why are they giving preferential treatnt?" Jiang ilin frowned at what Bai Renxiang said.
"It turns out that the kid that Xiaojin fought with is from a wealthy ho. That aside, two boys testified as witnesses that Xiaojin started the fight."
"That is a not true right? How can my ek grandson start a fight?"
"Yeah. But it is true. And Xiaojin did it because the other kid called him a bastard and a slut."

Jiang ilin was tongue tied. Should kids know those words? Bai Renxiang went ahead to narrate the story of the two kids that were the do called 'witness' and what the principal said.
"Not only that, it also happens that Bai Xiaojin had been bullied before this event and during those tis, that was what the kid always told him. I could sll conspiracy in the while story. I think the three kids were lying," Bai Renxiang habds were already balled into a tight fist.
She also told Jiang ilin of how she also asked that the other kid be expelled when the principal talked of reporting to their class teacher. How he gave a stupid reply and all that.
"So what did the principal say after all that?"
"He judge in their favour. The principal expelled Bai Xiaojin."

Another wave of shock and disbelief washed over Jiang ilin. I an it is obvious how the principal was being partial about the whole case.
"The case was already decided before it started or before I even arrived. I an it was so clear that Bai Xiaojin was not supposed to be the only one being expelled," Bai Renxiang's voice cracked as she tried to hold in her sobs.
"He is not supposed to be expelled. A suspension is the punishnt that was supposed to be given not expulsion. Besides, the school is about to lose as the exams are almost over. Why did they not just save it for next sester instead?" Jiang ilin voiced out her thoughts.
Truth be told, since the exams were about to be over- say next week, the punishnt should have been carried over.
Even if it can't be done, expulsion is a rather heavy punishnt for a three year old child. It was supposed to be Su Quan and Bai Xiaojin.
"Well the principal wanted my son to leave and since he is the 'principal' his judgent is final," Bai Renxiang wiped her tears. Her eyes were already red from excessive crying.
"Sigh. You do not have to dry. I have you told your grandfather about it yet? He could fight for Xiaojin you know," Jiang ilin patted her hands.
"No, I have not told grandpa yet. I just do not want to stress him more than he already is. Afterall he is not that healthy and hearing this might affect him," Bai Renxiang said.
"Oh co on. It will not affect him too much. Charlie can handle it then. Once your grandpa hears, he will tell Charlie what to do I stead of doing it himself."
"I know he would. But..." Bai Renxiang hesitated to say what she wanted to tell her mother.
"But what? You can say it," Jiang ilin probed further.
"Grandpa and I had a discussion so ti back. I think a day or two. I don't know."
"Okay. So what was it about."
" Grandpa said he has being thinking about it and it was supposed to be you but you did not want anything to do with it so he wants to do it."
