The attic connects the past and present; I became a tycoon and got rich overnight!

Chapter 40 This matter isn't over until an apology is issued!

The two were seated only a row of desks apart. Upon hearing this, Li Shen turned his head to look at Song Youan. He gently raised his hand to push up his gold-rimmed glasses and said in a seemingly casual but actually condescending tone, "There's no need for compensation. It's inevitable that children will run wild when they're playing around. An apology will suffice."

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianjiao subconsciously clenched her fists.

Song Youan's expression was indifferent, as if the other person's words had not reached her ears, like an observer.

"Oh, Mr. Li, you have such a broad perspective. There really wasn't any major conflict between these kids; it was just an accident during a playful fight."

After saying that, the teacher looked at Song Youan and said, "Parent, you see, Mr. Li is not pursuing compensation. Let's just have our child apologize to the other party, and that will be the end of it. We can still be good friends in the future."

Song Youan suddenly let out a soft laugh.

The teacher and Li Shen were both taken aback and looked at her in confusion.

“An apology is appropriate.” Song You’an nodded and looked at Li Shen, saying, “But it was your son who apologized to my sister.”

Upon hearing this, Li Shen frowned and said, "Miss, you must have made a mistake."

The teacher chimed in, "This parent, it was Gu Tianjiao who broke Li Minhao's toy."

Song Youan glared at her coldly and asked, "Then why did she break her classmate's toy? Was there no reason? Teacher, you don't really think it was just classmates playing around, do you?"

"This..." The teacher was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Song Youan looked at the boy again. He was ten years old, not a three or four-year-old who didn't know any better.

She asked, "Little friend, tell me yourself, why did Gu Tianjiao break your toys?"

Li Minhao shrank back in fright and hid in Li Shen's arms.

Li Shen's eyes darkened slightly, and displeasure spread across his face: "Miss, I'm already giving you a way out by not asking for compensation. Don't push your luck and dare to threaten my son in front of me?"

"Threat?" Song You'an laughed angrily. "Since when seeking the truth has become a threat?"

"Also, let's keep things separate. I can pay for the toy, but your son must apologize to my sister. He insulted my sister first, so apologize first, and then I'll pay you. You won't be shortchanged a single penny!"

She was domineering and showed no fear in front of Li Shen; in fact, she was even more in the right because she believed she was in the right.

Li Shen never expected that the young woman in her early twenties would have such a stubborn temper. He took out his phone, found the order, and held it up for Song Youan to see: "Look carefully, that toy is an official limited edition Ultraman figure, it's been discontinued for a long time. I paid several times the price for my son to buy it, the final price was nearly 300,000! Are you really going to compensate me?"

With nearly 300,000 yuan, Li Shen, whose assets exceed 100 million yuan, naturally didn't care. Moreover, he was certain that the other party wouldn't pay if he mentioned the price.

Even if the other party is well-off, losing 300,000 yuan on a toy is still a considerable sum.

The parent was a young girl who had just come of age, and he didn't want to get into a bigger deal. He thought that an apology would be enough, and that the toy was broken, and he couldn't buy a second one even if he paid for it.

Who would have thought that the other party would be so persistent, wanting his son to apologize?

It's impossible!

Anyone would hesitate at that price, even the teacher was shocked. Bringing a 300,000 yuan toy to school? Isn't that ridiculous?
Li Shen stared intently at Song You'an, trying to catch a fleeting moment of panic and despair in her expression. However, Song You'an merely glanced disdainfully at the numbers on his screen, then said firmly, "Apologize!"

“You…” Li Shen’s throat tightened, and he was speechless with anger.

"Both parents, calm down. Let's all take a step back. Why complicate things so much for a child?" the teacher quickly interjected, trying to smooth things over.

He was genuinely surprised. Could an apology really be worth 300,000? He truly didn't understand the world of the wealthy.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianjiao, who was in Song You'an's arms, suddenly started sobbing. Her small body trembled in Song You'an's arms, and Song You'an felt a warmth on the back of her hand, the temperature of tears.

My heart clenched. She had been so strong just moments before, holding back her tears even when she felt wronged.

But when she saw her sister standing firm in her fight to get an apology for her, she couldn't hold back any longer.

Even though her parents were gone, her older sister still stood in front of her without hesitation to protect her.

Gu Tianjiao's sudden crying startled everyone present. Song You'an took a deep breath, glanced at the teacher, then looked at Li Shen, and said, word by word, "I think you all know what this child said to my sister. I won't repeat those words here and cause my sister further harm, but she must hear this apology today. This matter is not over until she apologizes!"

After hearing Song Youan's words, the male teacher couldn't bring himself to offer any advice. He looked at both sides with a troubled expression, feeling somewhat regretful for keeping these two people with him today.

How does it end?

He wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

“Young lady, youthful impetuosity is not necessarily a good thing.” After a long while, Li Shen finally spoke slowly again. He unlocked his phone again and opened his contacts as he said, “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then we refuse to settle. A dispute of 300,000 is not a small amount. I will now call my lawyer to come here. I will file a lawsuit against you to recover the 300,000 in compensation.”

After saying that, he made a phone call: "Attorney Jia, I am in Class 2, Grade 3 of Murphy International Elementary School. Please come over here right now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, sat in his chair without saying a word, and made it clear that he refused to communicate any further.

Seeing this, Lee Min-ho even stuck out his tongue at Song Yu-an, giving her a smug look that said, "What can you do to me?"

“This… parents, let’s…”

The teacher spoke up again, feeling annoyed. This student issue had actually escalated to the courtroom. If this matter got out of hand, the principal would definitely blame him, and then his coveted position as a teacher at the prestigious school would be in jeopardy.

He was only halfway through his sentence when Song You'an suddenly started speaking into the phone as well: "Uncle Ye, I've run into a problem at my sister's school. They've called a lawyer. Could you come over?"

After hanging up the phone, Song Youan ignored the other party and instead looked down to comfort her younger sister: "Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, your older sister is here."

Gu Tianjiao wiped away her tears with a tissue, nodded vigorously, and glared fiercely back at Li Minhao, which scared the boy into shrinking back.

About half an hour later, the other party's lawyer arrived first. As soon as he entered, he arrogantly asked, "Who is the one who has a dispute with my client?"

Before he could finish speaking, a deep and powerful voice rang out from behind him: "Jia Sijin?"

The voice seemed to trigger an instinctive reaction in Jia Sijin. He shuddered and turned around, blurting out, "Teacher Ye."
