Not only Zhuzhu's mother, but also Haohao's mother and all the students and parents who were watching around were looking at this scene in disbelief.
"Mr. Chen...what did you say..." Zhuzhu's father asked uncertainly with a stiff face, forcing himself to smile.
"Since you didn't hear clearly, let me say it again. Shen Li, whom you arrested and took to the police station, is my precious granddaughter! The elementary school student whom you kicked out of the school and had expelled is my precious great-grandson!" There was a sense of oppression on Grandpa Chen's old face. The whole person had a strong aura and oppressive feeling of a superior that was chilling.
Zhuzhu's father staggered back a step, his face pale, and he had to smile and say, "What a misunderstanding, this is a huge misunderstanding! Mr. Chen, I didn't know Shen Li was your granddaughter! If I had known earlier, I would definitely..."
"So what you mean is, just because I'm an ordinary person, I deserve to be bullied by you?" Shen Li looked at him with a half-smile, her dark almond eyes full of coldness.
"That's not what I meant. Blame me for being tongue-tied... I didn't express myself clearly enough..." Zhu Zhu's father quickly reached out and gently fanned his mouth, then looked at Shen Li respectfully with an apologetic smile and said, "This is a misunderstanding. There is a huge misunderstanding..."
"Husband, you..." Zhuzhu's mother was about to speak, but the next second Zhuzhu's father turned around, raised his palm and slapped her hard on the face. The crisp sound of the slap rang out, and Zhuzhu's mother's face, which was already red and swollen, was covered with thick slap marks. For a moment, the corners of her lips were broken and bleeding.
In the past, Zhuzhu's father loved Zhuzhu's mother the most. Zhuzhu's mother often showed off her husband's love for her. This was the first time that her husband slapped her in front of everyone.
Seeing this scene, Zhuzhu was so frightened that she couldn't even cry. Tears welled up in her big, dark and bright eyes, and she stood there motionless.
"You bitch me?" At this moment, Zhuzhu's mother felt very aggrieved. She was obviously the victim, and her face was obviously swollen from being kicked by Shen Li.
But Zhuzhu's father still couldn't save himself by belittling himself in front of so many people. For a moment, Zhuzhu's mother felt that the love her husband, whom she was so proud of, showed for her, had completely collapsed and shattered in front of everyone around them. She stood there like a clown.
"I'm against you, you ignorant woman who doesn't know the difference between right and wrong!" Zhuzhu's father pointed his finger at Zhuzhu's mother's nose, "You've been causing trouble for me all day long at home! It was just a little play between children, but you exaggerated it and said it was seduction! You even splashed dirty water on someone's son. Is there any mother like you? You have completely ruined my reputation!"
What this idiot did today not only embarrassed me, but also seriously affected my career! I was already at the critical stage of my career, and my success depended on this year. Now, I have offended Mr. Chen?! My career is completely over!
How could I marry such a stupid woman who is confused and doesn't know what's going on?
For a moment, Zhuzhu's father's eyebrows twitched with anger, and his blood was boiling.
"I..." Zhuzhu's mother's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to say something, but Zhuzhu's father didn't give her a chance to speak. He grabbed Zhuzhu's mother's wrist and dragged her in front of Shen Li. "Look at the stupid things you have done. Hurry up and apologize to Comrade Shen!"
"I won't apologize. I'm the one who's suffering. Why should I apologize?!" Zhuzhu's mother shed tears of grievance.
Zhuzhu's father gnashed his teeth in anger, staring at her with red eyes, "If you don't apologize, I will divorce you today!"
After saying this, he turned polite and looked at Shen Li respectfully, "Comrade Shen, Master Chen, it's all my fault for not taking good care of him. It caused the woman around me to do such a stupid thing. I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce her today! I will draw a clear line with this woman in the future and never have any contact with her again! As for Comrade Shen's son, I will take him to the hospital for a check-up today, and I will pay for all the medical expenses! I will give him mental compensation, do you think it's okay?"
"What?! You're going to divorce me?" Zhuzhu's mother was stunned for several seconds before she reacted. She looked at Zhuzhu's father in disbelief as he quickly walked forward and tightly grasped her arm. She looked at her expression carefully and was sure that Zhuzhu's father was really going to divorce her. It was over... It was all over...
For so long, I have been proud of my love and my status. But if I get divorced, all my glory and wealth will be gone! Wouldn't I become a laughing stock in the whole circle? In the future, people will point fingers at me when I go out. Wouldn't those who are jealous of me take advantage of me and laugh at me in front of me?
Zhuzhu's mother was scared now. Her tears welled up. "I don't want a divorce... Don't you love me the most, husband? Let's not get a divorce, okay?"
But at this time, Zhuzhu's father's face was sullen and he didn't even look at her. His face was full of indifference and disgust. "I have worked diligently and hard to climb to this position over the years, but you have offended these two nobles in just one afternoon..."
All of a sudden, all my future and career over the years were ruined.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing their parents. My career prospects are ruined. How can I live with such a woman?!
At this time, 놛 had no love for Zhuzhu's mother, only hatred!
Zhuzhu's mother's wolfish face was full of tears. She wiped the tears from her face carelessly, choked up and looked at Shen Li, then knelt down with a thud, "Comrade Shen! This is all my fault. I misunderstood you without knowing the truth, slandered you, and damaged the reputation of you and your son. It's all my fault... I beg you to be magnanimous and let me go, okay? I don't want to divorce my husband. We love each other so much, I don't want to lose you..."
"I'm not the one you should apologize to." Shen Li sneered.
Zhuzhu's mother then turned to look at Lu Minghui who was standing beside her, and stretched out her hand eagerly, wanting to hold Lu Minghui's hands, but the boy took a step back, staring at her coldly with a pair of dark and calm eyes.
"I'm sorry, it's all auntie's fault. It's auntie's fault...You are still so young, I shouldn't say that to you, I misunderstood you, will you forgive me this time?" Zhuzhu's mother was in tears.
Shen Li knew, of course, that Zhu Zhu's mother was not really apologizing. At this moment, there was no guilt towards her or Lu Minghui on Zhu Zhu's mother's face. Instead, there was only the fear of losing her wealth and glory.
