บท 131: Apologize

"Mrs. Wang, I'm sorry, but this is just kids being kids. I hope you don't mind," Shu Pan apologized, though her concern for her daughter was evident.

"I didn't say anything wrong. Shu Joy really doesn't have a dad. Her dad has never come to pick her up," Wang Zihang chimed in, as if he was worried about being misunderstood.

"It's not true! I do have a dad. My mom says everyone has a dad. It's just that my dad works in a faraway place," Joy, despite her small stature, held this belief deeply and defended herself like a little wildcat, which probably helped her in the fight against the taller Wang Zihang.

"Joy, be good. You can't fight with your classmates. Apologize to Wang Zihang," Shu Pan crouched down and stroked Joy's head, though Joy wasn't very willing.

"People these days have complicated relationships. I bet nobody even knows who the child's father is anymore," Wang Zihang's mother sarcastically remarked.
