Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

In this world of Neon, the laws regarding kinship are somewhat subtle, or rather, strange.

Considering Xiangzi's current situation, Xiang's father has the right to custody of Xiangzi no matter what. Blood relationship is above all else, even if Xiang's father is an income-less person who doesn't even have a proper job.

Unless Xiang Dad is a criminal, the court will consider depriving him of his custody rights. But the problem is that, at least on the surface, Xiang Dad is just living a lazy life, and has neither committed any crimes nor violated any laws or regulations.

Therefore, when the agency informed him of this, Kashiwa Sanhui was quite troubled.

He hurried into the school gate. All his formal clothes had been sent for dry cleaning, so today Kashiwa Sanhui was just wearing a very ordinary white sweatshirt and jeans, a pair of decorative black square-framed glasses, and his slightly curly thick hair was piled up in a mess, making him look like an ordinary college student.

Maybe young girls would like this kind of daily outfit, but as a teacher, it seems a bit unconvincing when negotiating with students' parents.

But there was no other way. He couldn't go back to change his clothes now. Otherwise, all the money Xiangzi had would go into Xiang's father's pocket. He would probably be forced to sign Xiang's father's IOU, and then he would be in trouble.

"...Mr. Baihe, I just consulted with a more professional senior," the lawyer on the other end of the line said professionally after a busy tone. "The senior's opinion is this: if a client is involved in an ongoing economic or criminal lawsuit, and the child is 16 or under, the court will prioritize temporarily transferring custody to the other relative. A decision will then be made based on the child's own opinion after the child completes their studies."

"I will send the specific legal terms to your personal email address for your reference later."

After thanking him and hanging up the phone, Baihe Sanhui transferred the full consulting fee to the other party's account. He probably had an idea.

Although Xiangzi's mother doesn't care about Xiangzi, at least she won't suck Xiangzi's blood. If she files a lawsuit against Xiangzi's father in the near future, considering the unique administrative inefficiency of Neon and Xiangzi's father's financial situation, she can at least ensure that Xiangzi can study and live without being disturbed during this academic year. At that time, she can symbolically collect some of Xiangzi's hard-earned money to make Xiangzi feel at ease.

Everyone has a bright future.

I was walking and thinking, and before I knew it, I had reached the door of the infirmary. The door was not locked, but there was no one inside. There was a note on the table, a message from Xiangzi:

It's time for class. Please come to the office on the second floor during the break.

Baihe Sanhui stayed alone in the infirmary. Seeing that he had about half an hour left, he pulled out his phone and opened his email, carefully studying the legal provisions sent by the law firm and thinking about his future negotiation strategy with Xiang's father. If Xiang's father gave up, everyone would be happy. But he was afraid that Xiang's father would force his way into taking Xiangzi away, even threatening to expel him from school. That would be difficult to deal with.

Kashiwa Sanhui had a hunch that the conflict between Xiangzi and his father must be the key to obtaining Xiangzi's skill expertise. Even if it weren't for the skill expertise, Kashiwa Sanhui couldn't bear to see this strong and lovely girl sinking into the abyss of a broken family and a poor life.

……

This class was a math class, and Xiangzi didn't hear a word of it.

Xiangzi felt uncomfortable when he thought that her father was in the office next door with the class teacher, and perhaps he was telling Xiangzi in a high-sounding manner about the difficulties of being a father and hypocritically expressing his determination to repair their relationship with her.

"...Toyokawa Shoko-san, Toyokawa Shoko-san?"

"Oh, here I am!" Hearing the teacher's call, Xiangzi stood up hurriedly and responded.

"Can you tell me what the answer to the question on the blackboard is?"

Xiangzi was faced with the problem of finding the coefficients of a simple quadratic equation. He collected his thoughts and calculated in his head for a few seconds before arriving at the correct answer: "The values ​​of a, b, and c are -1, 4, and 2, respectively."

"Correct answer, Toyokawa Shoko. Please don't daydream during class." "...I'm so sorry."

After sitting in his seat uncomfortably for the last ten minutes, the bell finally rang. As soon as the teacher left, Xiangzi subconsciously wanted to escape from the classroom, trying to hide as long as possible.

"Student Xiangzi, please come to the office." The head teacher seemed to teleport to the classroom door and called Xiangzi's name.

There's really no way to escape now.

With mixed feelings, he followed the homeroom teacher into the office. His snow-white cuffs were wrinkled, and his lips were bitten by his pearly teeth. Toyokawa Shoko saw his father and Kashiwa Miki... drinking tea quite leisurely?

"Ah, here you are, classmate Xiangzi. Please sit down." Baihe Sanhui drank the cup of green tea in his hand, exhaled a breath of fresh hot air, pulled out a chair and invited Xiangzi to sit down.

Seeing that Kashiwa Miki was there, Toyokawa Shoko felt a little relieved. She sat upright in her chair and greeted everyone present: "Good afternoon, Dr. Ke, and...Father."

If ordinary people saw the appearance and dress of Xiangzi's father, it would be hard to believe that such an elegant man with a respectable appearance, a stern face and a sexy beard was actually a drunkard who preyed on children.

Although Baihe Sanhui could tell at first sight that Xiangdie's suit was not only uneven in lines but also too small in size, his beard was roughly trimmed and had knife-like edges, his eye bags were so swollen that even makeup couldn't cover them, and if he smelled it carefully, there was a faint burnt smell.

I can already imagine the scene where Xiang's father, who is lazy and ignorant, tries to pretend to be a successful person by trimming his beard without shaving cream, leaving his face covered in blood, and putting on an old, loose-fitting suit he found from some corner and even ironing it so that a few spots are messed up.

One look at Ding Zhen and you can tell he’s pretending.

"Since Xiangzi is here, I'll be leaving first, Dr. Kashiwa." The homeroom teacher stepped back and was about to leave. She was completely unfamiliar with Toyokawa Xiangzi, a student who didn't engage in social relationships, clubs, or class activities. So when Kashiwa Sanhui offered to talk to Xiangzi's parents on her behalf, the homeroom teacher happily agreed.

After all, he is the school doctor of our school. It is not your turn to be held responsible if anything happens. Dr. Arigato Kashiwa, save a few hours and take the train to Shibuya to get your nails done!

"Ahem... Xiangzi's father, can I call you that?" Seeing the homeroom teacher leave, Baihe Sanhui took the initiative to talk. "Nice to meet you. My name is Baihe Sanhui. I'm a teacher who has a good relationship with Xiangzi."

"Hello, Mr. Baihe. I want to talk to you about Xiangzi's problem." Xiang's father stretched out his hand and shook it with Baihe Sanhui, then let go. "I hope Xiangzi can be here too."

"How is it, Xiangzi?" Kashiwa Sanhui's pair of sharp black pupils began to shine.

"Well, I... I have no objection." Xiangzi was a little nervous. She felt that her presence would be of no use in the confrontation between adults, but since Dr. Ke also wished so, she might as well stay. If her father said any lies about her, she could point it out to prevent Dr. Ke from being deceived.
