Chapter 43 I am on standby for the princess 24 hours a day.
Looking into his earnest and gentle eyes, Song Shiyi suddenly remembered that he had said the same thing last night.
She nodded, concealing the flutter in her heart.
The farce attracted more and more onlookers, and many customers who had finished their meals stopped to stroll around and digest their food.
Gossiping and enjoying the juicy gossip is human nature, no matter where you are.
The person in charge of Mingyage arrived late; who would have thought that he would cause such a thing just because he was slacking off for a while?
Moreover, the heir of the He family was also there.
That girl... isn't she the apple of the Song family's eye?
What's going on?!
If something happens to people from the two major families while they are with him, wouldn't that damage the reputation of Mingyage?
If his superiors find out, he'll be in trouble!
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace, trying to smooth things over.
Before he could finish speaking, He Jinzhao glanced at him and gave a cryptic laugh.
"You arrived quickly."
The person in charge gave an awkward smile.
He Jinzhao raised his chin, glanced at the two people opposite him, and said in a cold tone.
"This old man claimed that his child was injured by my people, and before clarifying the facts, he started to lay a hand on him, using insults in his words."
"She's a young girl with thin arms and legs, well-mannered, and polite to the elderly, yet she was bullied like this in your store. Tell me, how do you plan to resolve this?"
"I'd also like to ask, with such a large store like yours, isn't there a single person capable of handling this?"
The person in charge gave a stiff smile and explained, "It just so happened to be shift change time, and the employees didn't notice. I will definitely strengthen management in the future and this kind of thing will never happen again."
He Jinzhao scoffed lightly and didn't waste any more time with him.
"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't she say her grandson injured his knee?"
“If the surveillance footage is accurate, we will ensure she receives full compensation for medical expenses and emotional distress. We acknowledge our mistake.”
"If it weren't for..."
He Jinzhao sneered, narrowed his eyes, and exuded a sense of oppression, causing the old woman to tremble slightly.
"Call the police."
Upon hearing this, the old lady panicked instantly.
She hadn't expected this little girl to have such a powerful background. If she had known, she wouldn't have thought she was easy to bully and caused this whole mess.
Not only did they gain nothing, they also got themselves into a mess.
"Look at the mess this has made, can't we just let it go?"
"Rui Rui, let's go back."
He Jinzhao gave the person in charge a wink, and the latter understood and instructed the security guards to stop the two.
Then, with a fawning smile, he said, "Miss Song, Mr. He, I'm so sorry, please sit here. I'll go and copy the surveillance footage for you right away. Please have some fruit and wait a moment."
He Jinzhao glanced at him and waved his hand.
Seeing so many people gathered around, which was creating a bad impression, the person in charge clapped his hands and spoke politely.
"Everyone, please disperse. The matter has been resolved. Guests, please don't delay your important business."
The number of people in the hall instantly decreased by half, and the crowd was still discussing and whispering.
"That girl, is she mute?"
"It must be true. They haven't said a word even after all this, so they definitely can't."
"She's actually quite good-looking, what a pity."
"What's a pity? Even if she's mute, her boyfriend is so handsome, with such an imposing presence, he's clearly not someone to be trifled with."
"That girl exudes an air of wealth and privilege; she's clearly made with money. She's anything but ordinary."
"Yeah, those two faces standing together are really pleasing to the eye."
"In this appearance-obsessed world, can you please not hit me too hard?"
"..."
He Jinzhao pulled Song Shiyi to sit down on the other side of the sofa, and only then did the two have time to talk properly.
What are you doing here?
He Jinzhao asked softly.
Song Shiyi's mood has calmed down a bit now, but her eyes are still a little wet and the tip of her nose is red.
"I came with my parents; we have something to discuss."
Song Shiyi didn't say anything specific, so it's best not to tell him about the marriage alliance.
He Jinzhao never expected to run into him here.
He thought she was at the Shen family's house.
That's why I didn't recognize this familiar figure at first glance.
This is one of the reasons.
Another thing is that Song Shiyi's outfit today is very different from her usual style.
She's usually a well-behaved and sweet girl next door.
Today, she is a poised, elegant, and dignified noblewoman.
He rarely saw her like this; she was very beautiful.
Song Shiyi was also surprised to see him there and asked:
"And you?"
He Jinzhao's smile faded slightly, and he said nonchalantly, "I came with my parents, just like you."
Song Shiyi nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
The person in charge walked over with the surveillance footage, handing the tablet to He Jinzhao while apologizing, "I already know what happened. The surveillance footage shows that the little boy was running too fast and bumped into Miss Song."
"As for the injury on his knee, he must have injured it himself by falling."
"It has nothing to do with Miss Song."
He Jinzhao lowered his eyes to look at the screen and gave a soft scoff.
"Who knows if the injury is real or fake? Let them tell us at the police station."
"Call the police, keep an eye on them, don't let them get away."
The person in charge nodded quickly in agreement.
He Jinzhao turned his head to look at the girl, and his brows furrowed when he caught a glimpse of the scratches on her arm.
Her skin was already delicate, and the clear fingerprints on her snow-white skin were particularly noticeable, making it look quite serious.
He subconsciously reached out and touched it; the moment his cool fingertips touched his skin, both of them paused slightly.
He Jinchao pretended nothing was wrong, but there was a hint of heartache in his eyes.
Does it hurt?
Song Shiyi pursed her lips, looked at the undisguised worry on his face, and slowly nodded.
A flash of malice crossed He Jinzhao's eyes, and he immediately said, "Just calling the police would be too easy on those two."
"They should also suffer a bit."
"Next time this happens, please remember to let me know immediately, okay?"
Song Shiyi couldn't help but lower her eyes as she listened, and explained, "I left my bag in the private room, and my phone isn't with me."
"I'll definitely remember next time!"
He Jinzhao patted her head and chuckled softly, "Alright, I'll be on standby for the princess 24/7."
