Contract Marriage: The Tycoon's Pampered Wife-Chapter 68 - 0: Bullying a Child (2 more - s)

When Ming Zhen heard Huang Hai, Quan Yu’s lawyer, say the word "sue," she immediately became frantic.

Quan Yu wasn’t there. Ming Zhen finally unleashed the anger she had been holding back. "He’s just a child, and you actually want to sue him? Do you know what you’re saying? It’s just kids playing around! Suing? You actually have the gall to say that!"

Huang Hai pushed up his glasses. "Ms. He, I am perfectly clear-headed right now."

Ming Zhen started, "You—"

"Keep your voice down!" The officer on duty, who had handled countless cases, had seen too many parents spoil their children rotten and felt no sympathy for them.

"Keep my voice down? Your son is about to be sued and will have a criminal record! How could *you* keep quiet?" Ming Zhen’s anger flared even more. Completely ignoring the officer’s changing expression, she continued, "Quan Yu is just using his power to bully people—bullying a child, no less! How shameless!"

As He Xizhou walked, frowning and pondering the meaning of Quan Yu’s last words, he entered the main office. Hearing his wife’s tirade, he suddenly understood.

Before he arrived, she must have said something unpleasant that offended the man.

Otherwise, given the Ruiyin CEO’s magnanimity, why would he lower himself to argue with a child?

His face instantly flushed red with anger.

He Zhenmiao’s case was a criminal matter; even bail was out of the question.

When Ming Zhen left the police station, wiping her tears, she lamented, "This is too much! Zhenmiao is so young; when has he ever suffered like this? Xizhou, you have to think of something! Didn’t you just have dinner with their chief a few days ago? Call him!"

Hearing these words, He Xizhou again recalled Quan Yu’s phrase, ’a doting mother often spoils her child,’ and felt inexplicably irritable.

"Stop crying! Whenever something goes wrong, all you do is cry, cry, cry! Can’t you do anything else?" He Xizhou had also seen that surveillance footage. It was irrefutable evidence; even a hundred lawyers couldn’t argue against it in court.

This lawsuit was lost before it even began.

If word of this incident got out, how would outsiders view him?

And if someone with ulterior motives exploited it, even the company’s reputation would be tarnished.

"If you were usually a bit stricter with the child, would he have committed such a lewd act in public?"

He Xizhou loosened his tie. "Quan Yu wants to sue you. Calling anyone will be useless, especially since the other party has irrefutable evidence!"

"Are you yelling at me?" Ming Zhen’s eyes reddened with fury. "What right do you have to yell at me? You’re all about business, business, business, day in and day out! I raised Zhen Huai and Zhenmiao all by myself. Did you ever lift a finger?"

"You haven’t cared for a single day! Oh! Not only have you not cared, you’ve been messing around outside, fathering a son with some third-rate starlet! And now you dare to blame me for not being strict enough with the children? He Xizhou! You—you’re despicable!" frёeωebɳovel.com

"Are you done? We agreed not to bring that up again!" That affair, that son—He Xizhou was unwilling to acknowledge either.

"I’m not done!" Reminded of that incident, Ming Zhen felt a fresh wave of humiliation. She grabbed her purse and smashed it on He Xizhou’s head. "I’ll never be done with this in my entire life!"

...

After escorting Lai Yang and Ning Guiwan back to the mansion, Quan Yu answered a call and left.

Before Ning Guiwan could ask anything, Lai Yang excitedly gripped her arm. "Xiaowan, do you know what love at first sight feels like?"

At these words, Ning Guiwan’s eyebrows involuntarily rose.

"You saw the surveillance footage—that man in the black Tang suit was so handsome!"

Ning Guiwan smiled. "Are you thinking of pledging yourself to him?"

Lai Yang’s eyes sparkled, shimmering with a sweet, dewy light. "Could I?"

Ning Guiwan asked, "Do you know his identity?"

Lai Yang was dumbfounded. "I... I was too nervous at the time," she admitted, "I forgot to ask..."

"Then why didn’t you invite him for a meal to express your gratitude?"

"He said he was in a hurry, handed He Zhenmiao over to the Equestrian Club manager, and left..."

The Equestrian Club operated on a membership basis. Moreover, the man’s distinctive attire must have left a deep impression, so it wouldn’t be difficult to get some information about him.

But Ning Guiwan considered love at first sight unreliable. His identity? His character? His profession? Was he married? She knew nothing about any of it.

So she didn’t say much more.

Lai Yang was quite melancholic. It was her first time experiencing love at first sight, and she truly had no experience with it!

She also wondered if she would ever see him again.
