Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Just Apologize and It’s Fine
The incident Beichen Rui anticipated eventually came. Early the next morning, his grandfather called him, saying that the Jiang family had gone to the old house and asked him to come back once.
He mentioned it to Ye Xinluo, telling her to stay at home and not wander around, then returned to the old house.
As soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Shihan sitting on the sofa with her parents and grandfather, chatting about something unknown.
He walked over to the sofa and sat down, "Uncle, Aunt."
Jiang Zhengguo nodded at him, but Mother Jiang didn’t look as pleased, eyeing Beichen Rui with slight dissatisfaction, wanting to say something but being stopped by her husband.
Seeing him, Jiang Shihan lowered her head. Thinking of how ruthless and uncompromising he was yesterday, her heart tightened terribly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
At this point, Jiang Zhengguo spoke, "Arui, is there some misunderstanding between you and Shihan?"
His tone was fairly okay, but the look in his eyes revealed a trace of reproach. After all, it was his daughter who had been bullied, and as a father, he naturally had to seek justice for her.
Beichen Rui leaned back on the sofa, elegantly crossed his legs, and spoke indifferently, "Misunderstanding? No."
Upon hearing this, Mother Jiang spoke, "Since there’s no misunderstanding, can you tell us what happened yesterday?"
Thinking of seeing her beloved daughter return home yesterday with a tear-streaked face and a swollen cheek, and learning upon inquiry that Beichen Rui had slapped her, her anger flared up instantly.
She demanded an explanation from him. Jiang Zhengguo, though not entirely in favor of doing so, was concerned about his daughter being hit, so he accompanied her here.
"I believe Uncle and Aunt already know, so why bother asking me?"
Beside him, Beichen Jue sat quietly, too familiar with the temperament of his grandson, who was never impulsive.
He had never seen him hit a woman from childhood to adulthood, guessing that the girl must have said something that upset him.
But on second thought, no matter how upset, it wouldn’t lead to hitting someone... Suspecting that he had his own reasons for doing so, he simply kept silent to see what he had to say.
Mother Jiang, staring at her daughter’s face, sighed lightly, "My poor daughter, her parents couldn’t bear to lay a hand on her since she was young. Now she’s suffered such a great grievance, her heart must be extremely upset.
Look at her face, how swollen is it? I wonder how much hatred it takes to strike with such force."
These words were undoubtedly meant for Beichen Rui to hear, but from beginning to end, he maintained an indifferent appearance, as if discussing something trivial.
His attitude made Jiang Zhengguo slightly displeased. Having been a mayor for so many years, he developed a kind of superiority. Looking at Beichen Rui, he spoke with a tone that was still reasonably polite.
"Arui, regardless of what misunderstanding occurred between you and Shihan, hitting a girl is indeed not very good, and you know that a girl’s face is what she values most.
With her face swollen like this, how can she go out and meet people? How about this, you apologize to Shihan, and we’ll consider the matter settled, and everyone stays amicable."
"You and Shihan aren’t young anymore. It’s time to get things sorted, and having something like this happen now isn’t very good, is it?"
Hearing this, Beichen Rui, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, finally opened his mouth, "Apologize? Shouldn’t it be your daughter who apologizes to my person first?"
