Chapter 174 - Growth and Transformation
“Madam Song, you…”
Wu Xiaonian had a hard time believing Song Ci’s words.
“Yu Nan is the one who needs to apologize but I don’t see that happening. Instead of wasting time here, we’ll be leaving.”
After saying that, Song Ci dragged Song Yujin out of the office.
Song Yujin could only stare at Song Ci. He was dumbfounded.
‘No! I can’t afford to drop out! Mom told me that getting an education is important. Otherwise, my future will be bleak and I won’t be able to earn a lot of money.’
With that thought in mind, Song Yujin stopped walking. He gripped Song Ci’s hand with all his might. The little boy looked very serious.
Song Ci was confused.
“I’m going to apologize. I can’t drop out.”
Song Yujin’s gaze was firm. He was smart enough to weigh the pros and cons. Dropping out of school over such a matter was not worth it.
In the past, “Song Ci” had abused Song Yujin and he just endured it. This time, there was no difference. Song Yujin did not mind enduring. After all, he was mature, tough, and rational.
Song Ci held Song Yujin’s hand tightly. Then, she bent down and said to him, “You don’t have to apologize! It’s not your fault!”
“But…”
Song Yujin frowned. Apologizing was no big deal. He really did not want to drop out.
“No buts! You don’t have to tolerate this! I’m your guardian. It’s my responsibility to protect you. If you had to suffer for no reason, then I’ve failed.”
Song Ci thought that Song Yujin had caved into the other party’s power.
Song Yujin shook his head.
“I have to attend school. I can’t drop out.”
Song Ci gripped Song Yujin’s hand even tighter,
“I know, but there’s more than one school in this world. Mom sent you here because she thought it would be for the best. However, if she was here now, she would agree with me instead. We need to find a school that’s actually suitable for you.”
Song Yujin looked at Song Ci with a puzzled expression.
Song Ci continued, “You’re an outstanding student. Unfortunately, this school does not cherish you. In fact, they’re only restricting your potential. We need to find a new school that will actually help you grow. Any other public school will accept you with open arms. Yu Nan can only rely on his family’s wealth. On the other hand, you’re talented and have a promising future. None of the students in this school can hold a candle next to you. So, never give in to them.”
Upon hearing that, Song Yujin felt as if his heart was violently tugged. He stared at Song Ci and stayed quiet for a long time.
Song Yujin was often praised by others, but nobody ever went above and beyond like Song Ci. At this moment, he felt empowered.
