The atmosphere in the office suddenly became deathly quiet. If Liu Meili’s initial anger and shouting after being slapped by Li Xiaotian were due to the suddenness and the injustice she felt, then after receiving the second slap, she began to sober up. Especially under Li Xiaotian’s cold gaze, all her sound vanished instantly.
She wasn't afraid of someone who could rival her in power, but she was afraid of someone who was reckless. This was the impression Li Xiaotian had made on Liu Meili.
“Apologize!” Li Xiaotian’s voice was ice-cold.
Liu Meili cast a fearful glance at Li Xiaotian, her eyes filled with hatred, but she dared not speak, only staring intently at him.
“Waaah~ sob~~ Bad guy! You’re a bad guy! You hit my mommy!!” Liu Meili had fallen silent, but her daughter, Xiao Xue, beside her, was terrified and burst into tears.
“You’re talking nonsense! My dad isn’t a bad guy, your mom is! My dad is a great hero!” Tian Tian immediately retorted.
“That’s right, your dad is a bad guy! You’re a thief! Your whole family are bad people! I’ll have my dad beat you all to death!” Liu Meili’s daughter, Xiao Xue, cried out, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Li Xiaotian and his daughter.
“No. My dad isn’t a bad guy. Sob. I’m not a thief either.” Tian Tian cried, her voice filled with grievance.
Li Xiaotian glanced at Liu Meili’s daughter, Xiao Xue, then slowly bent down, his expressionless face unwavering.
“What do you want? You’re not allowed to hit my child!” Liu Meili immediately stood in front of her daughter, glaring at Li Xiaotian, though her voice was much softer than before.
Li Xiaotian glanced at Liu Meili, then continued to look at Xiao Xue, saying emotionlessly,
“You should be grateful that I’m not like your mother. Otherwise, for the things you just said, you would have to pay the price you deserve!”
“Waaaaaah~~~~~” Xiao Xue, stared at by Li Xiaotian, burst into tears from fear, clinging tightly to her mother, Liu Meili.
Liu Meili quickly picked up her daughter, glaring fiercely at Li Xiaotian, gritting her teeth and saying.
“Do you know what you’re doing? Just because you’re a man, you bully us mother and daughter like this? Do you believe I can make a call and get someone to deal with you?”
“Go ahead and call anyone you want! But before that, you must apologize to my daughter!” Li Xiaotian’s voice was ice-cold, his gaze fixed on Liu Meili, his expressionless.
A flicker of anger crossed Liu Meili’s face, but she suppressed it, not daring to curse him, fearing another slap.
However, asking her to apologize to a little girl was clearly impossible; she couldn’t afford to lose face!
“Tian Tian’s dad, let’s talk things out properly, don’t resort to violence,” Gao Xiaomei said from the side, trying to mediate. Honestly, she had been cheering internally when Li Xiaotian slapped Liu Meili twice.
But considering Liu Meili’s background, she couldn’t help but worry about Li Xiaotian, fearing that the situation might escalate and become difficult to handle.
“He already hit me! He slapped me twice!” Liu Meili said through gritted teeth, taking out her phone and preparing to dial, muttering.
“I, Liu Meili, have never been bullied like this before. You slapped me twice, and even if you kneel and beg me, I won’t forgive you! I didn’t want to make a big deal out of this, but you’re forcing me!”
“Hello! Honey, hurry to our daughter’s kindergarten. Someone hit me and your daughter. Some slut and a punk. Slap!” After Liu Meili dialed, she had only spoken half the sentence when Li Xiaotian delivered another slap.
“Bang!” Liu Meili’s phone fell to the ground, but it had already been connected. Liu Meili, as if finding a pillar of support, immediately cried out.
“Honey, hurry! That person hit me again! Come and save us mother and daughter!”
“Ah!!! Who the hell are you?? You’re looking for death!! Hitting my wife and daughter, I, Wang Kai, will make your whole family wish they were dead!!”
From the phone, a man’s furious roar could be heard. Clearly, his wife, who was on the phone with him, had suddenly been slapped, an event that instantly enraged him.
“If you have the guts, wait for me, I swear I won’t be surnamed Wang if I don’t mess you up today!!” Wang Kai roared, simultaneously instructing Liu Meili.
“Wife, just endure it for now, wait for me, I’ll be there soon!!”
With that, the call was hung up.
Liu Meili looked at Li Xiaotian, her face showing a cold sneer, no longer fearing him. She said mockingly.
“You slapped me three times, I’ve noted it down. Today, if you don’t kill me, you’ll be waiting to die!”
Li Xiaotian glared sharply at Liu Meili, his eyes like he was looking at a dead person, and spoke unhurriedly.
“If you still don’t apologize, then you can die!”
Upon hearing this, a chill ran through Liu Meili. Li Xiaotian’s current state truly frightened her.
“Tian Tian’s dad, don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive.” Gao Xiaomei quickly advised, afraid that Li Xiaotian might act rashly and do something foolish.
“What’s going on? Why all the shouting?” Just then, a middle-aged man’s voice was heard from outside, followed by the entrance of a plump man.
“Principal!” Gao Xiaomei’s expression immediately changed, and she greeted him respectfully. The person who entered was the kindergarten principal, Sun Youcheng.
“Mm!” Sun Youcheng responded indifferently, then glanced at the situation in the office and said casually.
“What’s going on? Why are you two parents arguing in the school? This is a school! Not a marketplace!!”
After speaking, Sun Youcheng casually sat down in a chair, scrutinizing Li Xiaotian and Liu Meili.
“Principal Sun, don’t you recognize me? I’m Liu Meili. My brother-in-law is Zhang Cheng, the deputy director of the Jiangnan Education Department. We ate together a few months ago.”
Liu Meili looked at Sun Youcheng and said hurriedly.
“Director Zhang?” Upon hearing this, Sun Youcheng immediately stood up, looked at Liu Meili, and a look of realization dawned on his face, followed by an enthusiastic expression.
“I remember now, you are Director Zhang’s sister-in-law. No wonder you looked so familiar earlier.”
At this point, Sun Youcheng’s attitude had completely changed. He walked up to Liu Meili with enthusiasm, completely ignoring Li Xiaotian and Gao Xiaomei beside her.
“Ms. Liu, please have a seat, please. Why didn’t you let me know when you arrived? By the way, how has Director Zhang been recently? I haven’t seen him for a while.”
“My brother-in-law is doing very well. A few days ago, my brother-in-law mentioned you, saying your kindergarten is managed well.”
Liu Meili said with a smile, while glancing at Li Xiaotian and Gao Xiaomei with a smug look.
Liu Meili sat down, and Sun Youcheng also sat, saying enthusiastically to Liu Meili.
“Ms. Liu, what happened? Was your child bullied?”
