Reborn as an Alpha and Still Wanting to Engage in Lesbian Relationships - Chapter 29.2

How could they be so brazen, even after realizing Jiang Man’s identity? Instead of comforting the crying child, they had forcefully restrained the small, vulnerable child, covering her mouth and nose until she lost consciousness from suffocation.

Wasn’t that the ultimate form of silencing her?

Jiang Feng hung up the call from the kindergarten’s director. With one hand, he adjusted the oxygen mask on the child lying in the hospital bed, his expression icy as he turned to his legal team. “If they dared to harm a child on interview day, with so many people watching, it means they must have done similar things in private before.”

“Investigate. Gather evidence and assist other affected families in filing a joint lawsuit. The goal is to make that kindergarten disband and go bankrupt.”

In work mode and further fueled by his anger, Jiang Feng appeared even more intimidating.

The legal team members nodded, gathered their documents, and politely excused themselves.

Jiang Man had cried herself to sleep in her mother’s arms. However, the day’s traumatic experience left the child sobbing and trembling even in her sleep.

Seeing his wife’s heartbroken expression and their pitiful daughter, Jiang Feng felt that he had been too restrained earlier releasing only 20% of his pheromones to suppress those people.

Sometimes, it wasn’t so bad to adopt Wen Yu’s approach.

An enraged mother protecting her child might “accidentally” release 100% of her suppressive pheromones on those who harmed her young, causing damage to their mental fields. Wasn’t that perfectly normal?

The chubby little child curled up in her mother’s arms. Worried that his wife would tire, Jiang Feng asked a nurse for medical tape to secure the oxygen mask on the child in the bed before taking his daughter from his wife’s embrace.

Sun Miao and Xu Nuo’s agents rushed to the scene. Seeing the two disheveled and distressed children, their anger flared instantly.

Sun Miao strode over, and upon seeing Jiang Man her eyes swollen and red curled up in Jiang Feng’s arms, a surge of fury erupted within her.

Looking up and seeing Liu Ying, Sun Miao lowered her voice to avoid waking the cubs and asked, “What did the kindergarten say? What are your plans? Do you need any help?”

Liu Ying hadn’t expected Sun Miao to be so angry. She quickly grabbed her hand and patted her shoulder soothingly, “They said today was an accident perhaps because Manzai and the others were too mischievous and didn’t follow the examiners’ instructions, which led to this mess.”

Hearing this, Sun Miao instantly flared up, “What a load of nonsense!”

Even hours later, the bright red finger marks on the cub’s face hadn’t faded; instead, they were turning bluish-purple. Just one look was enough to tell how much force the person had used when pinching the cub’s cheeks. How dare they shift the blame onto the victimized cub now!

Xu Nuo’s agent hung up the phone and walked over to Liu Ying with a calm, icy tone, “Ms. Liu Ying, Xu Nuo is still dealing with her own matters and can’t come. However, Secretary Wen called to say that the Wen family will also contribute to this lawsuit.”

The agent adjusted her glasses, “Staff from Wen’s private hospital and research institute will be here shortly to conduct a systematic injury assessment of the cubs. If you or Ms. Jiang have contact information for other affected cub families, the Wen family will take full responsibility for the assessments.”

Surprised that Wen Yu was taking such an interest in the matter, Liu Ying nodded in agreement.

Compared to Jiang Man, who had managed to escape, Wen Qing, who had been muffled by the examiner, was more severely injured. By the time the research institute staff arrived to assess the cubs’ injuries, both little ones were already awake.

Seeing Wen Qing lying in the hospital bed, Jiang Man couldn’t hold back her tears. She felt utterly useless. As the older sister, she had needed protection from Wen Qing, who was a month younger than her. If Wen Qing hadn’t pulled her away from that examiner, it would have been Jiang Man lying in that hospital bed. Wen Qing was injured because of her. This thought took root, sprouted, and grew in Jiang Man’s heart.

The small cub on the pristine white hospital bed turned her head slightly and saw the deep guilt in the tearful eyes of the cub standing by the bed.

“Manzai, step aside. Auntie needs to check Qingzai.”

The staff member from the research institute gently pulled Jiang Man away, causing her to miss the fleeting smile that appeared and vanished on the injured cub’s lips.

Wen Qing had more than a dozen soft tissue contusions of varying sizes. Though not severely impactful, they looked particularly alarming.

An unexpected silver lining emerged from the incident: Jiang Feng, who had always been hostile toward her, began to soften his attitude. Although he still firmly believed Wen Qing was a cunning, manipulative cub, his demeanor toward her had mellowed significantly. Under the supervision of Manzai and Liu Ying, he even reluctantly picked Wen Qing up at times.

Wen Qing stayed in the hospital for two or three days before being discharged. On the day of her discharge, Fang Jin and Mu Qian also came with their mothers.

Seeing the numerous dark purple marks on the pretty cub’s face and body, Fang Hao and Li Chengxi gasped in shock. It was the first time Li Chengxi had seen a cub in such a pitiful state, and her heart ached with sorrow. “What’s going to happen to that kindergarten?”

Fang Hao’s new album preparations were wrapping up, and he’d practically been living on the StarNet recently: “Times are tough. I heard many parents have sued it, and they’re now going through bankruptcy liquidation procedures.”

The punishment sounded appropriate, but Li Chengxi felt it was still too lenient and couldn’t help clicking his tongue in disapproval.

Liu Ying chuckled: “The lawyers have already confronted those teachers who used violence against Manzai and the others with the injury assessments provided by Manzai and Qingzai. Every participant will face millions in compensation and a lifetime ban from the industry.”

Watching the little ones gathered together, listening to Manzai describe Qinqing’s heroic image when she saved her that day, the parents couldn’t help but smile.

Jiang Man’s vivid description made Fang Jin and Mu Qian listen with wide-open mouths, constantly exclaiming “Wow!”

After hearing Jiang Man’s emotionally charged story of “Sister Qinqing Saves the Day,” Qinqing had become an incredibly brave little warrior in their eyes!

Fang Jin held her face, looking at Qinqing with envy: “Qingzai, you’re amazing! Manman really likes you now!”

“Will you guys get married?”

Mu Qian, who had been quietly listening to Manzai’s praises, raised her hand and spoke up. Looking at Qinqing’s increasingly beautiful face after her battle scars, she asked seriously: “If you marry Manman, can you put me at the very top of Manman’s best friends list? If yes, then I support your marriage.”

Li Chengxi’s eyes nearly popped out of his head upon hearing this. Horrified, he rushed over to cover his daughter’s shockingly outspoken mouth.

Looking at Jiang Feng, Li Chengxi hadn’t forgotten how much she doted on Manzai.

Previously, when Li Chengxi, Qian Duowei, and Xu Nuo had gathered to whisper among themselves, they all agreed: if Manzai eventually differentiated into an alpha, it would be fine. But if she became an omega or beta, given Jiang Feng’s personality, she would definitely keep Manzai from ever dating, turning her into a little old lady who’d never been in love!

How terrifying!

Li Chengxi kept his hand firmly over Mu Qian’s mouth, afraid the frightening little creature might say something else shocking.

The incident at the aristocratic kindergarten where children were injured against their will had become the most discussed topic on the StarNet recently.

Especially since the two young protagonists were children most netizens had watched grow from infants in swaddling clothes to independent little toddlers. Therefore, these so-called “noble” kindergartens that screened students based on policies and looked down on others because of family backgrounds were thoroughly cleaned out from top to bottom.

Many dirty secrets hidden beneath the “noble” label were exposed to sunlight by the iron-fisted legal teams of the Jiang and Wen families.

Not just ordinary citizens, but even those parents who had unknowingly become the kindergartens’ supposed backing had long been fed up with these so-called elite kindergartens.

However, due to the Empire’s education requirements mandating three to four years of kindergarten before elementary school, even when these kindergartens acted outrageously, parents had no choice but to endure it for their children’s sake.

They had developed incredible patience purely out of responsibility toward their little ones.

The parents from three of the four families observing the children, plus Jiang Feng acting as Qinqing’s guardian, gathered to discuss kindergarten enrollment matters.

Speaking of this topic, hardly any parent could maintain a relaxed expression.

Fang Hao let out a heavy sigh and slumped back against the sofa. “How can enrolling one little child in school be so difficult!”

Who could argue with that?

Beside her, Li Chengxi was scrolling through her tablet, searching for information on the remaining ordinary kindergartens.

Suddenly, a kindergarten admission notice caught her eye. “Hey, take a look at this one. What do you think?”

Fang Hao and the others gathered around at the sound of her voice. What met their eyes was a garish, outdated-looking green website interface that seemed to lag even in its color scheme.

“Green Jinjin Kindergarten?” Liu Ying softly read out the kindergarten’s name from the antiquated, clumsy-looking page.

Li Chengxi nodded, scrolling through the website that lagged for three minutes with every swipe, checking the credentials and founding history of Green Jinjin Kindergarten.

The website was so sluggish that Jiang Feng leaned over and couldn’t resist complaining, “Is this even a legitimate site? It’s lagging like a pirated version.”

Fang Hao also took out her tablet to look up information about the kindergarten, clicking her tongue in disbelief at the overly conservative and mediocre details on the website.

After the four parents spent a long time studying the information, they exchanged glances and said, “Since we haven’t received any enrollment notices yet, why not let the kids give it a try?”

“Let’s give it a shot.”

The three little ones, who had just finished listening to Jiang Man’s immersive performance of the story “Wen Qing Saves Her Sister,” hadn’t yet snapped out of the thrilling tale when they saw their mothers approaching.

A shabby, ancient-looking website that seemed like a knockoff appeared brightly before the children.

Fang Hao poked Fang Jin’s chubby cheek and said, “Mommy picked out a school for you. In a couple of days, you’ll go with Manman and the others for an interview, okay?”

Fang Jin and Mu Xi only caught the second half of the sentence and responded cheerfully and crisply.

Though Wen Qing’s injuries looked frightening, they weren’t actually too severe. After being forced by Jiang Man to rest obediently in bed for a week, she was finally allowed to get up and move around.

Wherever Wen Qing went, her self-appointed guardian, Manman, followed closely, terrified that Wen Qing might get hurt again.

The sight of the beautiful child’s scars broke Manman’s heart!

Jiang Man wasn’t truly a young child. Even after experiencing such an ordeal at the kindergarten, she only regretted her own lack of strength.

But Wen Qing was different.

It seemed as though Wen Qing had developed a fear of interviews and the kindergarten. Though she had been relatively lively before setting out, the closer they got to the kindergarten, the more nervous she became.

Seeing her little sister trembling like a frightened, insecure animal, Jiang Man’s heart ached.

She moved closer, gently wrapping her arms around Wen Qing, resting her chin on Wen Qing’s shoulder and softly patting her back.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ll always be with you.”

“I’m not your little sister.”
