I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 630 - 600: A Lesson

Soon after, the principal and other teachers from the school had already rushed over upon hearing the news.

Mr. Zhao and Li Bo’s daughter, Guo Guo, had already been so frightened that she had fainted.

The teachers carried the children in a bustling hurry towards the hospital; another one was better off, as she had stopped crying and hadn’t fainted, but her eyes were lifeless, clearly truly scared, so she was also sent to the hospital. Additionally, due to the chaos, some students were hit by desks, some were stepped on by classmates; in a class of more than thirty students, over ten were sent to the hospital.

Actually, Chaoxuan didn’t mean any harm and he wasn’t even being naughty, but this time, the trouble he caused was indeed substantial.

Although He Chaoxuan himself felt wronged, seeing so many classmates scared into the hospital because of that insect, he couldn’t understand it, he even wanted to suggest to the teacher that the students should be exposed to these little creatures more often so they wouldn’t be scared; it was just a caterpillar after all.

Seeing his confident demeanor, He Xiuyu didn’t say much.

Apologizing was definitely necessary, he took his son away to apologize to the school teachers; for the students who were either scared or injured, he would take care of all the medical expenses—there was no way around it, a father has to cover for the troubles caused by his son.

Meanwhile, Qiao Qingyu hurriedly paid the medical bills, bought nutritional supplements, made a big fuss, then went to the shops in New City and, after meeting up with He Xiuyu, took her dejected son again to the hospital, apologizing to these parents one by one, especially to Mr. Zhao and Li Bo’s family for Guo Guo.

The little girl was truly terrified, now lying on the hospital bed, not yet awakened.

Qiao Qingyu was genuinely remorseful, although Guo Guo was shy and timid, but living in the same front and back yards, Li Bo often took her out to play.

She was very fond of this easy-to-blush, softly spoken little girl.

Chaoxuan also quite liked playing with her, remembering how Chaoxuan always said she was timid; back then, he even boasted that one day he would make her braver, saying Guo Guo only needed to see more and then she’d be afraid of nothing.

At the time, she had scolded him; yet, the child, secretly rebellious, obviously ignored her words, especially when she had actually told him that some girls have a natural fear of soft-bodied creatures like caterpillars and snakes. How could you train her? If she was afraid, she would still be afraid; it was a physiological and psychological fear.

It wasn’t a disease, just simple fear; just don’t look, and it affects nothing.

Now, it seemed the child hadn’t taken her words to heart at all.

Chaoxuan also knew he had caused trouble, his little face pale, losing his usual energetic bounce.

He looked down at his timid desk-mate, pursed his lips, and clenched his small fist, standing obediently in front of the hospital bed without a word, knowing his apology would be in vain as his desk-mate hadn’t awakened yet.

Qiao Qingyu apologized to Li Bo with a heavy sense of guilt.

Li Bo wasn’t angry; not only because the child was Qiao Qingyu’s son but also because she should be magnanimous even if it were any other colleague’s child.

But she was worried inside, her complexion not very good, and with a sigh, she said, "Qingyu, Guo Guo is too timid; Old Zhao and I have thought of many ways, but to no avail, she is just born timid, and I’m worried, you know, a girl who’s so shy will go to school or into society in the future, isn’t that just setting her up to be bullied?"

That made sense.

Being too timid, whether a boy or a girl, indeed isn’t a good thing.

But those words can’t be said here, even if you want to say them, you can’t say them in front of Li Bo.

"Girls are all delicate, not exactly shy; I think Guo Guo is usually quite fine, besides, it’s not Guo Guo’s fault. Not just her, at times, I’m startled by such things too."

Li Bo immediately nodded, "Right, right, so am I; look at my age, I’m still scared of those things."

Chaoxuan heard the conversation between the two, but had no reaction, only looking at the little girl lying on the hospital bed with her eyes tightly closed.

Then, under his hopeful gaze, Guo Guo’s eyelids moved, and she slowly opened her eyes.

But upon seeing the few people before her and remembering something, Guo Guo’s face turned pale and with a cry, she sat up from the bed, Li Bo hurriedly rushed over, embraced Guo Guo in her arms, continuously patting her back, as Guo Guo cried breathlessly.

Then the doctor and nurse came in, checked her, and said that there was nothing serious and that she should go home and rest well.
