Chapter 782: Chapter 781: Show of Power!
Cheng Wenfeng felt someone approaching, so he lifted his head to see it was Shao Xingbang and hastily wiped his eyes with his sleeve, "Uncle!"
"Stand up!" Shao Xingbang ordered him.
Cheng Wenfeng slowly stood up, looking down and fiddling with his fingers, appearing like a victim.
Shao Xingbang asked, "What’s wrong? Why are you crying? You know that men are not supposed to cry easily, right?"
Tears once again welled up in Cheng Wenfeng’s eyes as he looked up at his tall uncle and said, "Uncle! Do you think I am useless? I only know how to cry when something happens!"
Shao Xingbang looked down into the child’s bright, trusting eyes and felt a twinge in his heart. He softened his tone and said, "I think you’re excellent! Not only sensible but also obedient, and you never cause trouble for your mother or make mischief!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Wenfeng’s tears flowed even more fiercely.
"You child! If something is wrong, just talk about it. Why cry? Tell me what exactly happened. Don’t be afraid! If something has happened, your uncle will support you!"
Shao Xingbang had lived to this age and there hadn’t been any problem he couldn’t solve yet!
Cheng Wenfeng stammered as he explained the whole story.
It turned out that Cheng Wenfeng’s academic performance had greatly improved this semester, and he was also able to speak up boldly in class.
His transformation caught the eye of some classmates who couldn’t stand it.
They used to look down on him, thinking he was just a student who had transferred from a smaller town, so two boys banded together to bully him.
During breaks, they played a game where they made him bend over and jumped over him.
Initially, Cheng Wenfeng thought it was better to avoid trouble and just endure it.
But then, after they saw Cheng Wenfeng getting off a car at the school gate, the bullying escalated!
They cruelly called him a country bumpkin and fatherless child!
Eventually, Cheng Wenfeng couldn’t take it anymore and burst out!
He grabbed a wooden slat that had fallen off a classroom desk and fought with the two boys.
As a result, they reported him to the teacher, who demanded that their parents be brought to the school!
Cheng Wenfeng dared not tell his mother that he had fought in school, especially not that it was because they said he didn’t have a father, as that would make his mother cry!
Shao Xingbang clenched his fists, feeling a dull pain in his heart.
He and his mother had first transferred from the county town because he was bullied by his classmates.
Now in the provincial city, at a new school, there were still people bullying him!
If initially Shao Xingbang had approached Cheng Wenfeng with selfish motives, the more they interacted, the more he genuinely grew fond of the boy.
He asked, "When did your teacher ask the parents to come?"
Cheng Wenfeng cautiously answered, "Tomorrow morning!"
Shao Xingbang made a decision, "Good! I’ll go! You don’t need to tell your mom about this!"
Cheng Wenfeng’s eyes twinkled, his face brightening like the sun after rain, "Uncle! Are you really going?"
This issue had been troubling him so much that he’d even considered skipping school the next day, but now his uncle was going to help him!
Shao Xingbang affectionately patted his head, "Of course! A man must keep his word!"
Overwhelmed, Cheng Wenfeng hugged Shao Xingbang, "Uncle, you’re so kind!"
The next day, Shao Xingbang went to the school early.
The teacher gathered the students and parents in the hallway outside the classroom to deal with the fight.
Shao Xingbang casually draped an arm over Cheng Wenfeng’s shoulder, while the other two male parents were decently dressed, suggesting they were from well-off families.
The homeroom teacher, a woman in her thirties, was also encountering Shao Xingbang for the first time and was curious about this man.
However, under Shao Xingbang’s powerful presence, she didn’t dare to ask too many questions.
Both parents were protective of their children and believed their sons were good kids—how could they possibly do anything wrong?
They each took turns criticizing Cheng Wenfeng, as if everything was his fault for being arrogant and attacking others with objects.
Cheng Wenfeng’s face turned red with anger, clearly that wasn’t the case!
Shao Xingbang told them to shut up, then looked at Cheng Wenfeng gently, "Wenfeng, tell us what happened!"
Cheng Wenfeng looked up at Shao Xingbang, saw encouragement and trust in his eyes, and boldly recounted the events.
Feeling emboldened by their fathers’ presence, the two male students simultaneously exclaimed that Cheng Wenfeng was lying! Their parents, refusing to accept it, started yelling and pushing against Shao Xingbang and Cheng Wenfeng, ready to escalate to blows!
The scene turned noisy and chaotic!
Shao Xingbang smirked coldly and asked Cheng Wenfeng to stand against the wall.
As soon as Cheng Wenfeng positioned himself against the wall, Shao Xingbang moved like lightning, swiftly taking down the two male parents who were left groaning on the floor.
Shao Xingbang stepped on the head of the loudest parent and coldly declared, "Let me tell you! If you dare bully our child again, I’ll cripple you all!"
Cheng Wenfeng was deeply shaken by Shao Xingbang’s actions and words.
He even thought to himself how great it would be if his uncle were his dad, but he only dared to think this quietly.
The incident eventually caused a sensation throughout the school, even alarming the principal.
The principal called the friend who had helped Lu Zheng arrange for Cheng Wenfeng’s transfer, and that friend contacted Lu Zheng.
It was at this point that Lu Zheng found out what his uncle had done!
He had to admit, his uncle was a real man!
In the world, there are no secrets that don’t leak, especially since Shao Xingbang never intended to hide anything.
Liang Wei eventually found out what had happened and felt both regret and self-blame.
So much had happened to her son at school, and she had known nothing about it.
If it weren’t for Shao Xingbang standing up for his son, wouldn’t the child slowly return to his previous plight?
To thank Shao Xingbang, Liang Wei proposed to treat him and Lin Xia to a meal.
Lin Xia also learned about what her uncle had done and genuinely wanted to give her uncle a thumbs up!
During the meal, the three of them, along with Cheng Wenfeng, sat together, eating and chatting.
As the meal wound down, Lin Xia excused herself to go shopping and Cheng Wenfeng also said he would go with Lin Xia.
In the private room, only Liang Wei and Shao Xingbang were left.
Liang Wei understood her son and Lin Xia’s good intentions, and slightly embarrassed, she looked down.
Shao Xingbang happily sipped some white wine, pleased that his relentless efforts had finally made Liang Wei and her son drop their guard against him.
Liang Wei calmed her nervous emotions, stood up, and tried to appear natural as she picked up her glass.
"Uncle, this glass is for you! Thank you for helping Wenfeng! You’ve made it possible for him to hold his head high at school and not be bullied!" Her son had told her that now everyone in the school knew he had a powerful relative, and no one dared to bully him.
The two students who had bullied him even walked around him in the same classroom.
