Chapter 1144 Peaceful Solution
The bodyguards who had been hiding in the hall had all emerged, forming a dense mass of black. Two people sat at the middle table, one reclining in a chair, the other with a solemn expression and a cold gaze that was chilling.
Mu Ning took a look and quickly turned away. How could there be such a scary person?
Zhuang Shiyuan dragged his people forward and stood in front of his father and his third uncle.
"Dad, Third Uncle, the culprit is here." Zhuang Shiyuan whispered.
Mu Ning's nose suddenly twitched, and she subconsciously looked up at Zhuang Shiyuan. Zhuang Shiyuan, the liar, was this a counter-espionage scheme or Infernal Affairs? She angrily shook off his hand, sulking and standing aside. If he handed her over to the police, she would never let him go, even if she became a ghost.
Zhuang Shijue turned his gaze towards the little girl and waved at her. Zhuang Shiyuan immediately stood in front of Mu Ning, and his father spoke immediately.
"Go aside!"
“...Yes.” Zhuang Shiyuan clenched his fists and had to stand aside.
Mu Ning suddenly stood forward with her little face raised, confessing without being asked. Her voice was clear and powerful, and she had an air of not wanting to admit defeat.
"I hit him, but it's not entirely my fault. He was the one who started the nonsense and angered me. People can't deal with things rationally when they are controlled by their emotions, so you can't call the police. I'm not wrong! I was just acting in self-defense!"
Zhuang Zhoucheng's gaze fell sharply on the little girl's face. She had shown extraordinary courage and had barely made it through, but her unyielding attitude wasn't necessarily a good thing. How could his eldest son control such an unruly girl?
Uncle Shi, whose head was innocently smashed, said weakly, "Brother, look at how sharp this little girl is. I was just joking, but she's so cruel..."
Zhuang Zhoucheng glanced at the third brother. Isn't it embarrassing for him to say this in front of the younger generation?
"You're not the one to joke around like that. They say you should judge others by your own standards. How perverted do you have to be to start talking about getting a room? You're already an old man, and you're still disrespectful to your elders by saying such things in public. I can sue you for sexual harassment." Mu Ning said righteously.
Someone you don't even know starts talking about things like renting a room or living together, which are inappropriate. If that's not harassment, what is it? Hitting you is the least of it. She should be the one to call the police.
When Mu Xiaonv thought of this, she immediately felt confident.
Yes, why should I be afraid of them? She is also a victim. This is just self-defense. What did she do wrong?
When he thought of this, he immediately raised his head and chest, straightened his back, and looked straight at Zhuang Shiyuan's father.
Master Zhuang's expression was grim as he glanced at Uncle Shi. "Old Third, what this young man said makes sense. What do you think?"
The point of being disrespectful to the elderly was very good and he agreed with it.
Shi Zhenlin supported his head. Why did he suddenly feel so dizzy?
"Brother, I was just joking. I got hit on the head for no reason just because of a few jokes. Isn't this too unfair for me?" Shi Zhenlin said, but he was not going to pursue the matter. After all, it was the first time for the little girl to meet her parents. If he made too much noise, he would not cause any psychological trauma to the girl.
But that being said, it's a fact that his head was smashed, so there should be some response, right? He just settled the matter with two sentences, which was too cheap.
Zhuang Shiyuan immediately reminded her in a low voice, "Ning'er, quickly apologize to Third Uncle. It was just a joke, there's no need to take it so seriously."
Mu Xiaonv suddenly looked up at Zhuang Shiyuan and asked, "Is this okay?"
Zhuang Shiyuan patted her shoulder. Didn't he see that his father didn't really want to get involved in this mess? She should be smart and climb up the ladder quickly.
"Third Uncle said he was just joking, and we are just joking with him. There is no need to be so serious, right?" Zhuang Shiyuan laughed softly, but his eyes were still serious.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Third Uncle." Mu Xiaonv quickly apologized, "I take back what I said just now. I was just joking with you and accidentally hurt you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me."
Shi Zhenlin's face twitched. He wanted to get away with it with just a few words?
"It's a small matter, a small matter. The head has been hit. Just give some compensation. Brother, what do you think about this matter..." Shi Zhenlin quickly put forward conditions to prevent his nephew from saying anything else and snatching away this rare opportunity.
Zhuang Zhoucheng spread his hands and said, "The child is grown up now. He can handle his own problems. You can ask for anything. I will do anything for him. My son is not a suckling baby. How can a father like me handle such a small matter?"
Shi Zhenlin was breathing hot air. He had a hole in his forehead, and this was a small matter. If it were someone else, he would have chopped off his hands to prevent him from getting shot. How could this be considered a small matter?
Zhuang Shiyuan immediately shouted, "Third Uncle, Ning'er is my friend. I didn't tell her well and made a joke that upset you. I am also responsible. If Ning'er's apology is not enough, please see what I can do. If you need anything, just tell me to do it. I will do my best to serve you!"
"Young Master, that's too kind!" Shi Zhenlin said sarcastically.
This brat kept saying it was a joke, implying that Shi Zhenlin couldn't even take a joke? If he had really said something, wouldn't that make him a villain?
Why did this matter suddenly make him feel aggrieved?
"Uncle San, please give your instructions." Zhuang Shiyuan looked serious, with his head slightly lowered.
Shi Zhenlin knew that this kid was a cunning and smart guy, otherwise how could the Chen Palace fall into his hands?
Everyone outside knew that Chen Palace belonged to Shi Zhenlin, but he was just a figurehead for his half-grown nephew. Management was not his job, and handling matters was not his job. He would only go to Chen Palace occasionally under the name of the boss.
So, don't underestimate the eldest son of the banker. He is a little immature now, but it is not impossible for him to surpass his father in time.
Shi Zhenlin was trying to balance his current needs with the opportunity to show this boy a favor. The former was for the present, the latter for the future; after all, he had a son. Whether the feelings of the previous generation could be passed on to the next depended on the younger generation themselves. Zhuang Shiyuan was undoubtedly no ordinary person, and he hoped that he could provide more guidance to his unworthy son in the future.
"Forget it, it's a small matter. If I really make a fuss about it, Uncle San, it will make me look so stingy." Shi Zhenlin changed the subject and gave up.
Zhuang Shiyuan's eyes lit up with joy. This was within his expectations, but he was surprised that Uncle Shi San had thought of it so quickly.
"Ning'er, why don't you thank your Third Uncle quickly?" Zhuang Shiyuan said immediately.
"Thank you, Third Uncle." Mu Ning spoke quickly.
She didn't know what was going on, but she wanted it to be resolved peacefully.
