Ye Xingbei instantly grinned, patting his head. “Good boy!”
The car gradually came to a halt. Gu Chi looked back at Gu Junzhu. “Young Master, we’ve arrived. I’ll go ring the bell.”
Gu Junzhu nodded.
Gu Chi exited the car.
A moment later, Gu Chi returned. “Young Master, Young Madam, the Yi family has invited us in.”
The group followed the Yi family’s butler inside the Yi family mansion.
The Yi family mansion was enormous, luxuriously decorated.
Entering the living room, their butler led them to a couple in their fifties. Respectfully, he announced, “Master, Madame, the guests have arrived.”
Senior Master Yi remained seated on the couch, unmoving.
Senior Madame Yi stood up and approached the two children. Looking them up and down, she then turned to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei. “Are you the children’s parents?”
!!..
Ye Xingbei replied, “I am their mother.”
Senior Madame Yi sighed. “Young Lady, our granddaughter hurt your son. It was wrong of her. However, her mother passed away due to severe bleeding during childbirth. Her father is busy with work, and has no time to discipline her. My granddaughter is a pitiful child. Even though she attacked someone, she’s just a child. As adults, we should patiently educate her instead of stooping to her level. Don’t you agree?”
Ye Xingbei was at a loss for words.
Agree or not?
Of course not!
Just because your granddaughter is pitiful, she’s allowed to harm other people’s children?
What kind of twisted logic is that?
Before Ye Xingbei could retort, Senior Madame Yi had already glanced at their butler.
Occasionally parents with their children did show up. The butler, having handled this kind of situation several times, was already experienced.
He went out and quickly returned with a bag, placing it at Ye Xingbei’s feet.
Senior Madame Yi looked at Ye Xingbei. “Young lady, here’s twenty thousand as compensation for your child’s medical expenses. If you still think it’s not enough, provide our butler with all the medical bills. We’ll compensate you triple what you’ve paid!”
The Yi family hailed from an illustrious line.
Under her husband’s protection, she managed a transnational company with substantial annual revenues.
After she got older, she hired a professional manager, and although the profits didn’t match the times when her husband was still working, they were still a respected household in Jiang City.
Moreover, her son-in-law was an influential official, her husband’s star pupil.
Her only daughter gave her granddaughter, Yi Xingling.
After her daughter died of severe bleeding during childbirth, they coerced their son-in-law to allow their granddaughter to be given their daughter’s surname.
Their hope was that when Yi Xingling grew up, they could marry her to a man who would change his surname to theirs. This way, the Yi family would not lose its descendants.
With this thought in mind, they doted on Yi Xingling and fulfilled her every desire.
Over time, they had spoiled the child into becoming somewhat willful.
Initially, when Yi Xingling caused trouble at school, and teachers and parents came knocking, they were somewhat disturbed.
But as it happened more frequently, they became numb.
It was merely children fighting, isn’t it normal for kids to be naughty?
As long as nothing major happened, they were prepared to pay some money and voice some soothing words. With such strategy, they managed to downplay major issues and dismiss minor ones. Nothing seemed too serious for them.
Of course, they did discipline Yi Xingling as well.
Every time Yi Xingling caused trouble, they would scold her.
But every time they disciplined Yi Xingling, she would cry out for her mother..
