Mr. Bai hung up the phone still looking infuriated.
He sat on the sofa, without any intention to cook, growing increasingly angry as he thought about Anning's situation.
What kind of parents are these? They're so irresponsible, nearly pushing a good child to the brink.
Mr. Bai felt both furious and heartbroken for Anning.
After some thought, still feeling uneasy, he changed his clothes, grabbed his bag, and left the house.
He had previously asked Anning where she was staying, and he went directly to that hotel on an electric scooter.
When Mr. Bai found Anning, she had just taken a shower and was sitting quietly in the hotel room working on her homework.
Mr. Bai felt somewhat reassured seeing Anning still focusing on her studies even at such a time.
Yet, thinking again about how such a good girl was being treated that way, he felt very sorry for Anning.
"Come, go back with the teacher, and stay with me for tonight."
