Chapter 710: The man felt as if his heart was grasped by the other party, unimaginably tender
When Delphine saw Ignatius Leclair’s nonchalant demeanor, her heart skipped a beat. Was he planning on causing trouble?
As for Nicholas and Benjamin, they both looked up eagerly, anticipating their dad’s intervention.
Only then did Mrs. Wu notice the quiet, handsome man. Seeing him walk over to Delphine and speak to her with intimacy, she angrily seized her husband, who had already begun developing a beer belly in middle age, and said hatefully, "You speak up. Our baby can’t be bullied and just let it go like this."
Having said this, Mrs. Wu glared at his shabby appearance and beer belly. She felt infuriated, not only because her own baby was beaten by a little girl, but also because her man was rendered insignificant by the other man.
Mr. Wu, after all, had some reason. In fact, upon seeing Ignatius Leclair for the first time, his legs inexplicably went weak. Although he couldn’t immediately place his finger on this man’s identity, he found him familiar, but the imposing aura made it hard for him to stand upright.
"Actually, both sides are wrong when kids fight." Mr. Wu said in an official tone, wiping the cold sweat from his head, "But since it happened, we must deal with it properly. Either your child or ours has to drop out."
Ignatius Leclair squinted his phoenix eyes, looked at the little chubby face still stained with tears, and slowly, with a faint, indifferent smile, said, "Makes sense. Then you’ll be the ones to drop out."
"Why should we?" Mrs. Wu’s voice suddenly turned sharp, waving her hand angrily, she said, "You didn’t even bother to find out who we are, and you want us to drop out? Old Wu, don’t waste time, directly call the Third Maternal Uncle’s place and order them to drop out today."
"Which family is this Third Maternal Uncle from?" Ignatius Leclair lifted his gaze, looking at Mr. Wu, who was struggling with his beer belly, and smiled coldly, "Mr. Wu, go ahead, make the call."
"Not scared to tell you, my Third Maternal Uncle is from the Meng family, a family you people couldn’t dream of meeting." Mrs. Wu spoke proudly of the Meng family. It was her audacity’s root, as the Meng family was fast becoming one of the top elite families in Nanyang, with the Yeager Family overseeing them. They indeed had the clout in Nanyang.
The Meng family? The handsome man’s face showed a look of contemplation, the Meng family, the Yeager Family’s lackey? He hadn’t gone to trouble the Meng family, yet they made their move first.
Ignatius Leclair sneered coldly, watching the beer-bellied Mr. Wu go to make his call.
The kindergarten teacher, realizing the situation couldn’t be resolved, quickly called the principal.
"Mommy, I don’t want Benjamin to drop out." The little chubby face wiped away tears, weakly tugging at Mrs. Wu’s clothes.
"Shut up." Mrs. Wu pushed her son aside, decisively standing away from Delphine and the others.
Delphine tugged at Ignatius Leclair’s cufflink and whispered, "Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?"
The man lowered his eyes, seeing his sapphire cufflink being held by her slender white hand, felt as if she held his heart, gentle and unyielding, he spoke in a low voice, "Delphine, this world is just like this. You just live freely, and I’ll handle the rest."
The man’s gaze was profound, reaching out to hold her small hand. He glanced at Nicholas and Benjamin, patted the little ones’ heads, and spoke in a deep voice, "You go ahead and take the kids to the classroom."
The rest, the children shouldn’t see, as they could learn bad things.
