Chapter 97: Are you not giving my daughter face

Chapter 97

Fortunately, the head teacher of little i's class sent a message to the couple in time, briefly telling them about what happened today, and then simply conveyed the Qi family's meaning.

After the couple had just digested the whole thing, the father of the child who was beaten by their daughter added them as a friend on the parents' group.

After clicking on the notification, the family photo of the other party instantly attracted Ji Mochen's attention.

He subconsciously clicked to enlarge the picture.

In the photo, a tall man and a delicate woman stood on both sides, and in the middle was a round little fat boy.

The old father wiped his eyes to confirm that he was not seeing wrongly. That child...

"So the little fat boy outside the classroom just now is the little friend you beat today?" Ji Mochen asked in surprise.

"Yeah!" Ji Ruochu, who was seriously eating, answered without even raising her head.

She was completely unaware of how shocking her answer was to her old father.

At that moment, the look in Ji Mochen's eyes when he looked at his daughter was indescribably complicated.

There was a sense of accomplishment that his family's daughter was growing up, as well as a worry that his weak daughter would go and uproot a young willow tree at any moment.

What to do, suddenly he felt a panic that he had brought up his daughter the wrong way.

"Have you seen that child before?" Ling Chujin scooped him a bowl of soup and asked.

"Mm, you didn't see him. That child was at least twice as big as our Ruoruo. His eyes were red from crying, he looked so pitiful." After speaking, Ji Mochen suddenly felt a tinge of guilt. "At that time, I thought it was just some kid who didn't finish his homework. I didn't think much of it, just nodded perfunctorily and brought Ruoruo away."

If I had known...

No no...

The father's reason instantly returned.

He couldn't sympathize with that fat boy. The teacher had said that it was the other party who provoked Ruoruo first and deserved the beating.

"Darling, are you still angry? If you're still angry, dad will get your third uncle to deal with their family!" With a younger brother backing him up, Ji Mochen's backbone was exceptionally tough.

"..." Ji Ruochu was silent for a moment. "Dad, third uncle is busy enough already."

Her implication was, let's not make trouble for him.

"That's fine too." Her old father stroked his nose. "Then dad can vent your anger too. I'll go to your school tomorrow to settle the score with them. With your uncle and third uncle backing me up, I guess they wouldn't dare to oppose us."

Ji Ruochu: ... Don't say anymore. The more you say, the more you sound like the troublemaking male lead in novels.

"No need for that."

"Really no need?"

"Dad." After drinking a sip of the soup, Ji Ruochu slowly said, "Adults should not interfere in children's matters."

The husband and wife: ... At first listen this sounds quite reasonable, but on second thoughts, it feels a little strange?

"Also, he has apologized to me already. I'm not angry anymore."

After all, when she hit that fat boy, she didn't show mercy at all and beat him till he kept crying out.

"I'm serious." Still worried, Ji Ruochu reiterated,

"I've beaten him up and made him apologize to me. If we still refuse to let go and throw our weight around, it would make us look bad, like bullies who rely on power to oppress others."

The couple: ... As expected of our daughter who has started school, her command of idioms is getting better and better.

"But..."

"What is it?" Seeing that her father was still unhappy, Ji Ruochu put down her finished bowl and asked, "Are you not giving me face?"

Just bankruptcy?

That was already frightening enough!

Before the Qi family old woman could react, Tong Yuqing immediately worriedly asked, "Your big project you just clinched..."

Qi Xinhai made a bitter face. "Most likely going to fall through..."

"Ah? Then the house we were going to build back home and the auspicious ancestral grave we were going to relocate..."

"Don't think about it anymore. We'll be lucky if we can keep this house." Qi Xinhai said dejectedly, "Let it go. Perhaps the Qi family is just not destined for prosperity."

"Why say we're not destined for prosperity?" The Qi old woman was anxious. "Isn't it just child's play? Is there a need to escalate things like this? Our Binbin was the one beaten up, we should be glad if they don't ask us for compensation for mental distress. Yet they still-"

"You're right." Qi Xinhai instantly nodded in agreement. "I'll go ask them for compensation right now, then declare the company bankrupt. We'll sell the house and go back to live off the fields."

"L-live off the fields?" Recalling her decades of rural living, the Qi old woman couldn't help but shudder.

"I'm not going." Tong Yuqing immediately revealed her "every man for himself" attitude when disaster strikes. "We'll divorce then. You bring our son to farm the fields yourself. My parents said they can support me for life."

Qi old man, who had just coaxed his grandson out: ?!!

What happened? How did his son and daughter-in-law end up divorcing after he was gone for just a while?

"Ugh! What nonsense! No leaving allowed! Qingqing, we are one family, no leaving!"

The old lady Qi next to them was also extremely anxious:

"I say, these people are silly. What's so precious about a girl? It's not like she's a fat boy."

"Fat boy?" Qi Xinhai laughed angrily in an instant, "The Ji family, straight down three generations, only has this one baby girl. The rest are all stinky boys. You tell me, who is more precious?

For the Ji family's precious daughter, her one-year-old baby grabbing ceremony gifts were Ji Group's shares and a ten carat blue diamond. You think, is the stinky boy more important or is the daughter more important?"

The two elders from the Qi family were instantly rendered speechless: ......

No way, there are people who dislike sons?

"Alright, enough said. Can't blame others for this, only blame ourselves.

You spoiled him so much as a grandson. Every time when disciplining him, he would threaten to hit you two first.

Every time when scolding him, you would say 'My Binbin is so smart. He understands after just a few sentences.' Are you happy now? Satisfied?

Your precious Binbin tipped the whole family situation over. Hurry pack up. Who knows if we have to go back to the village tomorrow."

"Where's our marriage certificate?" Tong Yuqing suddenly asked, "Mom, did you hide it? Quick find it. We might need it in a few days."

"What marriage certificate? Why ask me about yours? I don't know..."

The two elders said and hurriedly went back into the house. For a moment, only the couple was left in the living room.

"At least they know fear now." Qi Xinhai laughed.

"I told you to take strong action earlier but you wouldn't listen. You thought you were so capable for bringing the company public in just two years. You got complacent and arrogant.

Look at you now. Know that you were capable?

And you tell his parents off too. But you never took my advice to restrain him with his parents. "

Qi Xinhai: ......

"Wasn't I spoiled like this too growing up? But I still grew up fine right? You don't know how much my grandfather doted on me back then..."

"And then?"

"Then... I made mistakes."

"Humph."
