Chen Mo listened with a tumult of emotions, his eyes already moist with tears, because he and his sister had lived at the bottom of society since they were young. It was only after feeling other people's warmth that he understood how truly precious it was.
He actually understood that Chen Qiuwan, although strict, had always been someone who considered her students' best interests. He had heard that previously, when a girl was bullied by several other girls at school, the other teachers didn't want to get too involved in the incident.
They thought it best to downplay the matter. A mere notice of discipline would suffice, which is how society nowadays tends to deal with problems.
But Chen Qiuwan was different. She refused to let the matter rest, not willing to minimize it. She insisted on singling out the bully, cooperating with the police to gather evidence of the girls' bullying, and subsequently expelled all of them as punishment.
