Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Slapping the Face 3

"Didn’t expect we’d actually meet him today," Green-Haired muttered, his tongue almost tripping over his words as he gazed at the imposing figure. "He’s just as rumored; his mere presence boasts the authority of those high in power."

"Boss, what did you just call him again?" Green-Haired asked, looking at Wei Guohang, his tongue curling slightly.

"Dad," Wei Xuan declared confidently. "Haven’t I told you before that my dad’s an official? Why can’t you seem to believe it?"

Green-Haired: "..."

He did believe, he was just boasting a moment ago.

Didn’t expect he’d actually nailed it!

Everyone in the hall glanced at him as if to say, "Weren’t you just bragging that your boss’s dad is the mayor? Why are you so shocked now upon meeting him in person?! Pull your jaw up!"

"Mayor, this is all a misunderstanding, it’s all their fault, truly, it has nothing to do with me! I was deceived by them too!" Jin Binbai pleaded miserably, his heart trembling with unease.

Considering his demeanor toward Yun Yue, and having never seen him fawn over anyone with such an ingratiating smile, it was alarming how obsequiously he was smiling at a young girl.

Moreover, this girl exuded a sense of authority that even seemed to surpass the mayor’s; she definitely wasn’t his illegitimate daughter or lover. Could she be a noblewoman from Beijing?!

"You’re quite good at shifting blame," Wei Guohang said sternly. "I overheard everything just now outside the door. Regardless of the specifics, your career as an official is finished."

Wei Guohang looked at him, thinking that he could have ignored this had his son simply been bullied, but messing with this little ancestor was beyond saving.

"Mayor, I... I apologize to her. Miss, please say something, I truly had no knowledge of this matter; it was all instigated by this vile person." Jin Binbai panicked, knowing full well the weight of Wei Guohang’s words.

If he said it was over, then it was definitely over.

If he didn’t save the situation now, he wouldn’t be able to stay in Lan City.

"What are you still sitting there stunned for! Get up and apologize to the miss right now. If I lose my position today, you’ll regret it!" Jin Binbai kicked the man on the ground, his heart seething with resentment.

She had truly ruined him!

"Brother-in-law..." The buzz-cut man had been dazed ever since he found out about the mayor, and now seeing his sister hurt, he didn’t dare to speak.

"And you! I spend money on you two for food and clothes, and you do nothing but cause problems for me! Quickly apologize to the miss!"

Jin Binbai kicked the buzz-cut man in the knee, making him fall onto his knees in front of Yun Yue.

The woman’s face was deathly pale, her make-up streaked with tears, she looked ghastly as she muttered shakily to herself, "How could this be, how does she know the mayor, what is her relationship with the mayor? I know, she must be a little mistress! She has the face of a vixen!"

Yun Yue’s eyebrows lifted, her face breaking into a wry smile.

Wei Guohang shuddered when he heard her words, wishing she wouldn’t drag him into her suicide mission.

Wei Xuan’s eyes widened, and he lashed out with a kick: "Shut your mouth! Are you fit to slander my Sister Yue?!"

Wei Guohang gave him an extra look, somewhat more approving of his son now.

"When my own son hasn’t said a word, what right do you, an old hag, have to spout such nonsense?! My parents are doing just fine!"

If it weren’t for the injury on Wei Xuan’s hand, he would have already slapped her twice; her mouth really needed it!

As if Sister Yue would be interested in his dad?

Jin Binbai couldn’t believe she could be so reckless; not only was she blind, but hopelessly dumb too.

Have you ever seen a mayor who bends over backwards while speaking to a mistress?

Why did he marry such a brainless troublemaker who only seemed to blind him with her problems!

"It’s not a big deal, just someone who likes to bully others using their power. I simply called you here to deal with it, and remember, next time, look closely and don’t hire such people again. It’s fortunate it was me today; if it had been anyone else, they could only suffer in silence."

Yun Yue stood up, not wanting to stay any longer; it was almost time for evening self-study at First Middle School.

Wei Guohang nodded in agreement.

"Dad, now that you’ve defended Sister Yue, you’ve got to defend me. Look at this injury—it was his brother-in-law who hit me!" Wei Xuan cried miserably.

Yun Yue glanced at him, quite good at gauging the situation.

She could never have imagined that he was actually Wei Guohang’s son.

Jin Binbai: "..."

This wasn’t his brother-in-law.

He had unilaterally announced that he was already divorced.

He sure had guts, expecting retribution after being beaten like this?!

He might very well be the one who ends up being retaliated against.

Jin Binbai realized that whether he could keep his position depended entirely on her word. Seeing her about to leave, he immediately dragged the woman on the ground forward, "Hurry up and apologize to this young lady!"

The woman on the ground was covered in panic and unease.

Those high-status ladies would certainly laugh at her!

She refused to accept that!

She crawled to Yun Yue, hair disheveled and makeup smeared across her face, with fear, "I apologize! I apologize! Didn’t you say I should kowtow and slap my own face a hundred times? I’ll do it right now!"

"It’s all my fault, please spare us in the name of your generosity."

After kowtowing, she began to hit her own face.

Yun Yue looked on indifferently; such a person was like a parasite to society. Even if she was kowtowing and apologizing, it was useless.

In the hall, people sneered. Now you know regret and fear, but it’s too late!

Serve you right for being so arrogant!

"Now you know regret and fear, but it’s too late!" Yun Yue walked briskly towards the exit, her silhouette both cold and proud.

Hearing this, the woman stopped her actions and collapsed on the floor, eyes empty.

If she had known she was acquainted with the mayor, she would never have been so arrogant, but it was too late, and everything was gone...

Her glory and wealth were all gone.

Jin Binbai turned pale, collapsing into a chair, his position gone, gone.

The buzz-cut man was utterly panicked. No one had expected this woman could even summon the mayor. Wasn’t he going to spend a lifetime in jail?!

Wei Guohang scolded Jin Guobai thoroughly, thankful she hadn’t taken it to heart, "I’ll have my assistant take you back. Leave the rest to me."

Yun Yue nodded slightly, lazily stood up, and swaggered out the main entrance in a defiant manner.

"Dad, I’ll leave this place to you. Don’t forget it was that buzz-cut who hit me! I’ll take Sister Yue back home." Wei Xuan followed her immediately upon seeing her departure.

Green-Haired greeted Wei Guohang and followed suit.

The atmosphere in the entire hall became tense after they left.

He looked at the nearby police officers. "He assaulted someone, didn’t he? Just handle it with impartiality."

"Mayor, there’s a woman he almost succeeded with." The police officer, who despised evil, knew this was an excellent time to report.

Wei Guohang’s eyes widened: "What are you waiting for?! Lock him up, investigate, and put him on trial!"

"Right away, we’ll lock him up."

They acted very swiftly this time, lifting the man off the ground as soon as the words were out.

The woman on the floor widened her eyes—this wasn’t how she expected them to arrest someone!
