On the other end of the phone, Yiyi was crying but didn't explain why. This made Ye Yiming anxious, and he urgently asked, "Yiyi, please tell Daddy what happened!"
"Daddy..."
Before Yiyi could finish her sentence, a loud voice interrupted, sounding like a shrew: "Why are you crying? Hurry up and get your family over here!"
"Yiyi..."
"Hello!" A woman's voice cut off Ye Yiming's words, asking, "Are you Yeyi's parent?"
"I am Yiyi's father!" Ye Yiming replied.
The woman on the other end said, "Then please come to the kindergarten right away. Your child has been caught stealing."
"Stealing!?" Ye Yiming's expression darkened. He knew his daughter's character; a child who picked up empty drink bottles to help him pay off debts could never steal anything.
"My Yiyi would never steal! There must be some misunderstanding!"
As soon as Ye Yiming finished speaking, the loud voice returned: "There’s no misunderstanding here! Xiaoxiao is not learning well at her age; what kind of parents are you?"
"Please calm down; we will handle this matter," the woman on the other end advised, then turned to Ye Yiming and said, "Yiyi's father, you better come to the kindergarten quickly, or they will demand that the kindergarten expel Yiyi!"
"I'll be there right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Yiming rushed to the kindergarten.
In the kindergarten office, there were about a dozen figures. Most of them were leaders and teachers from the kindergarten, standing to one side. Only three people were seated: a couple and a little girl. The little girl was Tian Xiaoxiao, Yiyi's classmate, and the couple were Tian Xiaoxiao's parents.
Tian Dongjian glanced at the time and shouted impatiently, "Why haven't that dead girl's parents arrived yet?"
"Mr. Tian, we have already contacted Yiyi's parents. Please wait a little longer," said the woman on the phone, who was Yiyi's teacher, Yin Tiantian.
This couple was wealthy and influential, and the leaders of the kindergarten were reluctant to offend them, all expressing their support for the couple. If it weren't for Yin Tiantian insisting on getting to the bottom of this matter, Yiyi would have likely been expelled from the kindergarten long ago.
Tian Xiaoxiao's mother, Ma Qingqing, yelled, "How dare you make us wait this long? Do you know how much money my husband makes in an hour?"
"Ms. Ma, I apologize for taking up your time, but we need to clarify this matter to ensure that no child is wronged..."
"Shut up!"
Before Yin Tiantian could finish her sentence, Ma Qingqing interrupted her, "Are you saying that I am wronging this dead girl?"
"I'm not saying you are wronging Yiyi; there may be a misunderstanding here. We need to clarify things before reaching a conclusion!" Yin Tiantian explained.
Ma Qingqing snorted coldly, "My Xiaoxiao saw her steal our things with her own eyes. What misunderstanding could there be?"
"Xiaoxiao, tell the teacher if you saw it wrong," Yin Tiantian asked in a tone meant to soothe a child.
This angered Tian Dongjian; he pushed Yin Tiantian aside and cursed, "What do you mean? Are you doubting my daughter’s words?"
"I didn't..."
"Didn't what? I advise you not to meddle in matters that don't concern you!" Tian Dongjian threatened Yin Tiantian and then turned to glare at Yiyi in the corner, scolding, "You dead girl, why won't you admit that you stole something?"
"Yiyi is not a thief; Yiyi didn't steal anything!"
After being scolded by Tian Dongjian, Yiyi cried even louder.
"All you do is cry; are you annoying?" Ma Qingqing was even more impatient and raised her hand as if to slap down.
Yiyi's face turned pale with fear, and Xiaoxiao covered her head with her hands.
Just as the slap was about to land on Yiyi's little face, the office door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
"Try touching my daughter!"
