The Right to Refuse

Chen Fu wore a smug expression while pulling faces, and Teacher Cai had observed this all along.

Though he taught at an elementary school, Teacher Cai had studied numerous psychology courses. Determining whether a child was lying, bullying, or being bullied was something he could easily discern.

He hadn't intervened earlier because he wanted the two parents to communicate first. The eyes of the crowd were keen, and after their discussion, the truth was clear without the need for additional words.

However, when Chen Fu's mother heard the teacher siding against her son, she became defiant. She raised her sharp and unkind chin, accusing the teacher of bias.

Teacher Cai felt irritated by her unreasonable behavior. How could someone be so illogical?

But as an educator, he couldn't behave as irrationally as she did, nor could he stoop to her level.
