Li's father stared at Nan Zhi and Gu Ying. One was a junior high school student, and the other was a disabled person. How could they have such great abilities?
He knew about his son's messy affairs, but as long as no one died, he let it go.
To everyone's surprise, Li's father was beaten up and left with bruises all over his face, which was unbearable for him.
Instantly, his gaze shot towards Nanzhi and Guying like a venomous snake.
This was the first time Gu Ying had encountered someone with such a powerful presence, and he was somewhat afraid.
On the contrary, Nanzhi looked back at the other party without any fear.
This greatly displeased Mr. Li. "You beat my son like this, and this is how you apologize?"
With that condescending attitude, he asked a question indifferently.
Nanzhi retorted, "Sir, according to you, only your son is allowed to bully others, but others are not allowed to bully him back? Why did we beat him? Have you ever investigated that?"
Mr. Li had a sullen face. He had been in a high position for many years, and none of his subordinates dared to disobey him or even try to bargain with him.
Immediately, Mr. Li felt his authority was threatened. "Young lady, I know my son best. He has never bullied other people's children. Do you have any evidence? How dare you say that?"
Nan Zhi sneered; this meant she wasn't going to admit it.
“I’m letting you off the hook because you’re still young, and I’m asking you to apologize to my son. But you’re so ungrateful. In that case, I’ll have to have a serious talk with your parents.”
Li's father clearly regarded Nanzhi and Gu Ying as people from a humble family, and did not have any concerns at all. Even the butler standing behind Nanzhi was hardly noticeable.
The housekeeper had always taken care of Mu Xiyue and had never appeared by Mu Zi's side, so Li's father naturally wouldn't recognize him.
The Mu family is a very famous family in Nancheng, one of the wealthiest families in the city. In particular, the Mu couple are said to have a daughter, but no one has ever seen her, and no one knows whether she is beautiful or ugly, tall or short.
Mu Xiyue was well protected, and her information was never leaked to outsiders.
Li's father wouldn't suspect the Mu family. He only heard from his son that a child named Gu Ying and Gu Ying's sister were bullying him. He had never heard of the Gu family. Because of this, Li's father had no fear whatsoever.
"Since that's what Director Li thinks, I will definitely tell you what you mean when I get back. As for an apology? My young lady has never suffered any grievances, but your son is always making things difficult for others. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was a street thug."
Nanzhi was taken aback, not expecting the housekeeper to say such blunt things.
The butler stood behind the wheelchair without a trace of fear, as if he were talking about something very ordinary, as if he were facing an insignificant person.
Li's father's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he looked at the butler as if he wanted to devour him.
"Hehe, it seems you really have no remorse. In that case, please leave."
Li's father has no intention of giving these people another chance; he will directly prove his authority through concrete actions.
"No need for you to trouble yourself, we'll be leaving now, after all, the smell here is unpleasant."
The butler reached out and grasped the handle of the wheelchair, then said sarcastically.
Mr. Li was so angry that he almost couldn't help but curse.
Today's butler surprised Nanzhi. Usually, the butler is serious and looks old-fashioned, but today he is really not in line with his usual persona.
The group returned to the car, but the butler suddenly turned to Nanzhi and said:
"I'm sorry, miss, I was just too angry. Did I cause you any trouble?"
Nanzhi shook her head. "How could that be? You're only thinking of me."
The housekeeper was genuinely sincere towards Mu Xiyue. Over the years, he had been the one who spent the most time with Mu Xiyue. Today, Li Jin and his father's insults towards Nan Zhi naturally angered the housekeeper.
Nanzhi knew in her heart that the housekeeper would definitely tell Muzi about this.
That way, she won't have to tell Mu Zi herself.
Gu Ying was truly humiliated today. When he got home, seeing his gloomy face, Nan Zhi patted the boy's shoulder and asked, "Ah Ying, are you still thinking about Li Jin and his son?"
Gu Ying shook his head, his worry evident in his eyes. "Sister Xixi, they will definitely retaliate. It's all because of me, otherwise you wouldn't have been scolded."
Nan Zhi smiled, "Alright, after you finish eating, you should rest well. I'll take care of everything. If he wants to cause trouble for us, he'll have to see if he has the time."
After comforting Gu Ying until he finished his meal, he went upstairs to rest.
Nanzhi received a call from Muzi.
The question was indeed about Li Jin and his son.
When Nan Zhi spoke, she naturally picked and chose what to say, while Gu Ying was just mentioned incidentally.
He also mentioned both recordings, since they could be considered evidence.
Mu Zi wasn't one to back down from trouble. Hearing Li Jin's rude remarks to her daughter, she was immediately enraged. "Xi Xi, don't worry, Dad's here. He won't do anything to us!"
Mu Zi's strength is undeniable, and he has extensive connections. As a mere bureau chief, he can now be described as lawless.
They actually dared to bully the Mu family, especially his precious daughter. Mu Zi couldn't stand it anymore.
“Dad, I was afraid of being bullied and I didn’t have any evidence, so I recorded it. I’ll send it to you.”
Mu Zi hadn't expected Nan Zhi to record the conversation. He was overjoyed. "You did the right thing. Send me the recording. Dad will handle it. Eat well and rest. Don't worry, okay? Dad will come back to see you after I've dealt with this."
"Yes, thank you, Dad."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Zhi's smile vanished. She still clearly remembered the scene she saw at the hospital when Li Jin and his son treated Gu Ying this way: A Ying crawling on the ground, looking humble and pitiful.
Regardless of what Gu Ying was like when Nan Zhi first met him, he is still just a first-year junior high school student. Nan Zhi has never projected the behavior of the grown-up Gu Ying onto the current Gu Ying.
Moreover, Gu Ying is gentle and kind now, and the world in his eyes is truly beautiful. Nan Zhi has never seen such pure eyes before. She likes this child's gentleness and the world in his eyes.
That's why Nanzhi can be so kind to Gu Ying; she doesn't want to see Gu Ying become sensitive and mean, and lose all trust in anyone.
When Shen Xingmian returned, he saw Nan Zhi sitting in the hall with a heavy expression, seemingly lost in thought. He paused, wondering if his words during the day had upset her.
Just as she was wondering how to talk to Nanzhi, Nanzhi looked up, glanced at Shen Xingmian, and then pushed her wheelchair straight to her bedroom without saying a word.
Shen Xingmian: "......."
She was still angry with him, as expected.
