All disputes began to simplify as Lawyer Zheng entered the office.Lawyer Zheng took a firm stance, stating that even if the Glasses Woman chose to call the police, Huo Guining's side would insist on pressing charges.
The staff also played the surveillance footage from the time of the incident, attempting to mediate between the two parties and encourage a private settlement to avoid escalating the situation.
The Glasses Woman was clearly in the wrong.
But the fact that her son had been slapped was something that neither of them could get over, no matter how they looked at it.
"Your son is so fat, what's wrong with getting slapped?" Huo Yueze unleashed his sarcasm skills. "My sister is so thin, who knows what kind of injury that punch could have caused her."
The situation reached a stalemate.
Huo Yueze lost his patience.
"Since they don't want to apologize, let's meet in court then."
With that, he took a wet wipe to clean Huo Guining's mouth and hands, then picked her up and headed for the exit.
Seeing their demeanor, the Glasses couple realized they couldn't mess with them.
The Glasses Man slapped his unruly child on the back: "Always causing trouble, acting tough after hitting someone. Hurry up and apologize!"
The boy was stunned by the slap, looking at his father in disbelief before his face crumpled and he began wailing loudly.
The Glasses Woman scolded him too: "Cry, cry, cry, that's all you know how to do. Don't let people say you're ill-mannered!"
Huo Yueze picked at his ear, his expression impatient: "Are you two insulting us indirectly?"
The Glasses couple fell silent, focusing on scolding their son.
The staff member, not wanting to make a big deal of the situation, said with a placating smile: "Look, it's just children playing rough. We apologize on their behalf. Please be magnanimous and don't take it out on a child."
Huo Yueze still had some anger pent up in his chest.
However, Huo Guining felt that the slap she had given had already vented her anger.
She quietly leaned close to Huo Yueze's ear and said: "Brother, that little boy's face is swollen. He's hurting more than me."
Huo Yueze glanced over and saw that it was true.
The boy's cheek clearly showed the imprint of five fingers.
Huo Yueze cleared his throat and said: "Alright then, let's consider this matter settled."
With that, he gave Lawyer Zheng a look and left with Huo Guining.
This small incident didn't affect the siblings' mood.
After confirming that Huo Guining was fine, Huo Yueze took her to enjoy all the rides in the amusement park.
The two happily returned home carrying amusement park souvenirs.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Huo Yueze asked as he was helping Huo Guining change her shoes and saw Huo Jing standing in the entrance.
Huo Jing replied irritably: "You have the nerve to ask me that? You two have gone viral."
Huo Yueze and Huo Guining: Both looked bewildered.
"Go look online for yourselves. You and your sister are trending on social media!"
