Ziyu’s mother looked at Ziyu, who was kneeling in front of her, and made no move to help her daughter up.

She even heard Ziyu’s words and immediately retorted, “Ziyu, although he is not your biological father, since I married him, he is your father. You are not allowed to say that he is not your father.”

After speaking, she continued, “How can you judge him so viciously? He’s not asking you to come back just for your championship prize money. He is your father, and he misses his daughter. Ziyu, listen to your mother’s advice, come home with me. I promise you that the incident of you being locked in the attic will never happen again, and I won’t let you accompany those old men as old as your grandfather. Your mother will protect you.”

Gu Qingcheng stood at the door, watching the scene between Ziyu and her mother.

“You’re protecting Ziyu?” She spoke as she walked into the office. “How are you going to protect Ziyu? With your face swollen like a pig’s head? Or with your broken nose?”

Ziyu’s mother shivered in fear upon seeing Gu Qingcheng.

She was afraid of Gu Qingcheng. Every time she saw her, she remembered the last time Gu Qingcheng had come to her house and beaten up her husband.

Unconcerned about Gu Qingcheng’s sarcasm, she quickly stood up from her chair in shock.

“Gu… Principal Gu, why… why are you here…”

“Why am I here?” Gu Qingcheng raised her chin slightly, walking up to Ziyu’s mother like a queen. “Guess who the principal of Royal Dance Academy is?”

Ziyu’s mother’s face turned extremely embarrassed. She meekly said, “The principal of Royal Dance is you, Principal Gu. You’re the principal. You can go anywhere.”

Gu Qingcheng stood in front of Ziyu’s mother, her eyes sharp as knives staring at her.

Ziyu’s mother felt like she was being pricked by Gu Qingcheng’s gaze. She was too afraid to even stand there and wanted nothing more than to run away.

“That… I… Principal Gu, I’ll be leaving first. I…”

“Leaving?” Gu Qingcheng spoke coldly, “Since you’re already here, why don’t you have a cup of tea before you leave? Vice-principal, please pour a cup of tea for our parent.”

Li Jing replied, “I’ll make the tea.”

Under Gu Qingcheng’s piercing gaze, Ziyu’s mother lowered her head and timidly said, “I… I won’t drink tea. I…”

Gu Qingcheng ignored Ziyu’s mother, took Ziyu by the arm while she was still kneeling, and pulled her to her feet. She asked Ziyu, “Are your knees that soft?”

Ashamed, Ziyu lowered her head.

“I’m sorry, principal. I…”

“Answer me,” Gu Qingcheng interrupted Ziyu. “How weak are your knees?”

Ziyu, with her head down, could feel Principal Gu’s gaze on her as sharp as a knife.

“I’m sorry,” she sobbed. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have knelt down. I clearly know that Mom was wrong. I shouldn’t have begged her. I…”

“Enough,” Gu Qingcheng interrupted Ziyu again. “Master, take Ziyu to get changed first. Then wait for me in the car.”

Li Jing had just finished brewing tea when she heard Gu Qingcheng’s words. She hurried over to Ziyu and gently held her wrist.

“Come with me first.

As Li Jing was leaving, Gu Qingcheng said to her, “Sit in the car with her. Don’t leave her side until I’m there.”

Li Jing knew Gu Qingcheng was worried something might happen to Ziyu, so she asked her to stay close to Ziyu.

“Alright.’

Only Gu Qingcheng and Ziyu’s mother were left in the office.

Gu Qingcheng handed Ziyu’s mother a cup of tea.

“The last time I saw you, I saw that you still cared for your daughter. Now it seems you don’t cherish Ziyu.” She began, “Even your remarried husband said you like to dance. Ziyu learned to dance to help you fulfill your dream. If you really want what’s best for your daughter, you shouldn’t have come to ruin her mood in today’s Tao He Cup final and let her compete in pain.”

Ziyu’s mother was embarrassed by Gu Qingcheng’s words.

Gu Qingcheng was in a hurry and didn’t want to waste time on Ziyu’s mother. “Whether Ziyu wins first or second place, she’ll get a substantial prize. Your husband forced you to bring Ziyu home for this prize money. As an outsider, I won’t interfere. However, as Ziyu’s principal, as long as she studies at my school, I have to be responsible for her until the end.

“I’ll tell you plainly, I won’t allow her to return to a man who abuses her at home. I absolutely won’t allow my students to be in danger. If he wants the prize money, let him come to me personally!

“But someone like him who only bullies the weak and fears the strong definitely wouldn’t dare to come and see me. That’s why he sent you to bring Ziyu home.” She stared coldly at Ziyu’s mother. “Your husband already lost the previous lawsuit. I didn’t pursue it further for Ziyu’s sake and didn’t want you to suffer.

“Go back and tell your husband that I, Gu Qingcheng, have plenty of money and time. I also have the best lawyer in Jiang City, Fu Nanjue, as my lawyer. If he dares to target Ziyu again, I’ll sue him until he’s bankrupt!”

Ziyu’s mother trembled in fear at Gu Qingcheng’s words.

She knew Gu Qingcheng meant what she said. Breaking out in a cold sweat, she mumbled, “You sued my husband last time, and his scandal was exposed. His business is gone, and our family has no money left. That’s why he beat me and forced me to bring Ziyu home. He wants her prize money to help with the family expenses.”

Gu Qingcheng, standing right in front of Ziyu’s mother, heard her mumbles clearly.

“Oh, he’s already bankrupt.” She said coldly, “Then I can sue him until he goes to jail and let him spend the rest of his life in prison. Ziyu’s mother, what do you think?”

Ziyu’s mother, frightened, quickly shook her head. “No, please don’t sue my husband. Don’t let him go to jail. If he goes to jail, I won’t be able to live without my husband.”

Gu Qingcheng looked at Ziyu’s mother and felt a surge of anger in her chest.

Seeing Ziyu’s mother’s cowardly demeanor, she pitied her misfortune and was angry that she did not fight for it!

She took a deep breath to calm herself and told Ziyu’s mother, “You love your current husband. You should live a good life with him. Don’t let me pull Ziyu out of the fire pit, while you, as her biological mother, push her back into it.”

After a slight pause, she emphasized each word as a warning to Ziyu’s mother, “Go back and tell your husband that I’ll send a court summons to him tomorrow. If he doesn’t want to be sued by me, he has to go to the security guard at Diyi School at 10 pm tonight and deliver a letter of apology to Ziyu. If I don’t receive it by 10 pm, the court summons will definitely be in his hands tomorrow. I’ll even let him spend the rest of his life in prison!”

Ziyu’s mother looked at Gu Qingcheng in shock. “Principal Gu, you… you can’t…”

“I have evidence of domestic abuse against my wife and daughter,” Gu

Qingcheng ignored Ziyu’s mother and turned to walk toward the door.

No matter how naive Ziyu’s mother was, she knew she would definitely lose the lawsuit because everything Gu Qingcheng said was true.

She ran to Gu Qingcheng and said, “Principal Gu, you can’t do this…” “What can’t I do?” Gu Qingcheng stared coldly at Ziyu’s mother..
