Qiao Wanwan frowned slightly. Zhao Youguang wasn't just trying to scare children; he was truly capable of doing such a thing!
No wonder Zhuangzhuang dared to push Xiao Jiu into the water; it turns out he taught her by example!
Although Qiao Wanwan was angry with Zhuangzhuang, no child is born to do evil; the main reason is that the parents did not teach him well.
The father is to blame for not teaching his son properly; the real culprit in this matter is his parents who failed to educate him!
Qiao Wanwan glanced at Jiang Dong, who immediately stepped forward and pulled Zhao Youguang away. "That's enough! Even if you beat your own son to death today, it won't make up for the harm you've done to our young master!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youguang became even angrier and went back to beating Zhuangzhuang.
Zhuangzhuang was beaten until he gave in, "Dad, I was wrong, please don't hit me anymore, I'll kneel down, okay?"
Zhao Youguang then stopped, "Why didn't you do this earlier! You good-for-nothing, how could I have given birth to such a worthless wretch!"
He grabbed Zhuangzhuang and made him kneel down, glancing at the second branch of the family standing nearby. "What are you all still standing there for? Do you still want to go back to Haicheng? Kneel down and apologize to me!"
The woman protested, "Brother, it was your Zhuangzhuang who pushed people into the water, why should we kneel down and apologize? My two children have very strong self-esteem, they absolutely cannot kneel down to anyone."
"Are you stupid or do you really not understand the current situation? Is this just Zhuangzhuang's problem?" Zhao Youguang was almost furious. "Don't make me say it a third time, kneel down and apologize!"
"I......"
Before the woman could retort, her uncle behind her spoke up, "Listen to Youguang, or this matter will get out of hand. Kneel down and apologize!"
The woman had no choice, and the entire family of four knelt down in unison.
The little boy was very excited. "Little monster, I've even knelt down before you, can you give me your toy?"
Qiao Wanwan's gaze darkened!
"What did you call him, hmm?"
Zhao Youguang rushed over and slapped the little boy again, yelling, "What nonsense are you spouting! Call him Little Nine, brother!"
"Waaah..." The little boy cried so hard he could barely breathe.
The woman instantly exploded, "Brother, what are you doing! How dare you hit my son? What right do you have to hit my son!"
"He wanted to destroy the Zhao family, shouldn't he be beaten!"
"It's not your turn to fight!"
Qiao Wanwan held Xiao Jiu and quietly watched this farce unfold.
The second son of the Zhao family was a weak and cowardly man. When he saw his elder brother and wife fighting, he did not dare to step forward to stop them. He just held his daughter and watched timidly.
Qiao Wanwan found it laughable and had no desire to continue reading. "Jiangdong."
Jiang Dong immediately led two bodyguards forward and separated the two men who were wrestling.
The two bodyguards immediately forced the woman to kneel down.
Upon seeing this, her husband quickly knelt down with his daughter.
Qiao Wanwan patted Xiao Jiu's head and said calmly, "Apologize."
"Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry."
"Little Jiu, your uncle is wrong."
"I'm sorry, Xiao Jiu, I shouldn't have hit you or scolded you..."
Qin Shujun stood to the side, tears already streaming down her face, covering her mouth to stop herself from crying.
Qiao Wanwan said, "Remember, you only have one week. Also, the Zhao family not only needs to give me an explanation, but also an explanation to Ms. Qin."
Qin Shujun was startled, and a warm current suddenly surged through her chest!
The Zhao family left dejectedly, and before they left, they could still hear the little boy crying for a toy.
Qiao Wanwan finally couldn't hold back her laughter. She hugged Xiao Jiu and looked at him earnestly. "Xiao Jiu, those who bullied you have apologized to you. Mommy doesn't want you to forgive them. They don't deserve forgiveness. But if possible, let's forget about them together, okay?"
"Mommy also wants to tell you, don't be afraid. From now on, no one will dare to bully you anymore, understand?"
Xiao Jiu nodded, leaned into her arms, and hugged her tightly.
They didn't stay at the hotel for long and left immediately.
As soon as I stepped out of the banquet hall, I saw Zhan Jingting come out of the elevator.
Zhan Jingting walked up to Qiao Wanwan, raised his hand and touched her hair, "Finished dealing with it?"
"Yes, it went smoothly."
"Then let's go home."
"Okay." Zhan Jingting picked up one of his sons in each arm.
Xiao Jiu looked at him shyly.
Qiao Wanwan chuckled, "It's rare for you to hold your son, he's shy."
Zhan Jingting looked at Xiao Jiu's rosy cheeks and said, "Then I'll hold him more often so he can gradually get used to it."
"Yes, you should hug them more often. When the child gets a little older, you won't be able to hug them as much as you want."
......
Wutong Bay had prepared a sumptuous and exquisite dinner, and the group sat down to eat as soon as they arrived.
Qiao Wanwan raised her glass and said, "Lijing, thank you for today."
"It was just a casual act, nothing more than a small favor."
I salute you.
"Thanks."
Zhan Yin ate a few bites of food as if he hadn't eaten in centuries before asking, "Wanwan, the Zhao family has knelt down and apologized. Can Xiao Jiu speak now?"
Eleven and Xiao Jiu had eaten quite a bit at the hotel, and since they weren't in the restaurant, Qiao Wanwan finally spoke up with relief, "It's not that fast. Xiao Jiu was bullied like this at the age when he needs security the most. It has a huge impact on his physical and mental health. I used such a tough method to force the Zhao family to kneel down and apologize in order to give Xiao Jiu a sense of security."
“This sense of security is based on the fact that Jingting and I will protect him and not let anyone bully him, but it is probably just a drop in the ocean when it comes to Xiao Jiu’s psychological trauma.”
"However, this matter cannot be rushed. After all, he has lived in the Zhao family for so many years, and he cannot recover overnight."
"I'm sorry..." Qin Shujun said sadly, "It's my fault, I couldn't protect Xiao Jiu..."
“This is not your fault, you are also a victim,” Qiao Wanwan comforted her. “Don’t worry, the Zhao family will repay what they owe Xiao Jiu, and they will also repay what they owe you.”
Qin Shujun nodded.
"Wanwan, you need to be mentally prepared." Zhan Jingting, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "The two elders of the Zhao family did not come to the capital this time."
Qiao Wanwan frowned. "You mean...?"
"The Zhao brothers are fools, but the two elders might not be unaware that today's meal is a trap. It's just that since you invited them, the Zhao family wouldn't dare not come."
“I understand.” Qiao Wanwan realized, “The Zhao family parents’ claim of illness was just an excuse; they wanted to wait and see.”
"yes."
“But they have no room for maneuver in this matter.” Qiao Wanwan was angry when she thought about it. “No matter what, I will seek justice for Xiao Jiu.”
"I didn't say I wouldn't seek justice for Xiao Jiu, I just wanted to remind you that things might not go as smoothly as they did today."
Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"
“Haicheng, like the capital, is a top-tier metropolis. You’ve seen how stupid the Zhao family is, yet they still have a place in Haicheng and their business is thriving. Don’t you find that strange?”
"I haven't done any specific investigation into the Zhao family's status and position in Haicheng." Qiao Wanwan was even more curious. "Why is that?"
