"I've already told your daughter that my uncle is the CEO of Gu Corporation. Didn't she tell you the truth?" Mian Mian said with a sweet smile, glancing at Wu Xiaogui.
"Dad, I don't believe her either. She always pretends to be poor in class. Who knew her family was actually… Ah!" Before Wu Xiaogui could finish speaking, her father turned and slapped her hard across the face. He yelled, "You troublemaker, how can I have such a brainless daughter like you? Who dares to provoke anyone? Do you know you've stirred up trouble in the capital!" Da Feng Novel Network
Wu's father was truly angry. He grabbed his daughter and began to beat her. Wu Xiaogui cried out in pain and begged for mercy, but her father wouldn't listen. He hit his daughter ruthlessly, knowing that if he didn't beat her to a certain extent today to appease the Jiang and Gu families, the Wu family would be ruined along with his daughter!
He absolutely could not let this happen, nor would he ruin their entire family for one daughter!
Wu Xiaogui was beaten until she vomited blood before Wu's father finally stopped. Her cronies were so terrified they fell to the ground, trembling.
Jiang Mian Mian watched Wu Xiaogui being beaten with indifference, chatting with her father and Uncle Gu with a bored air.
Jiang Jingxiu doted on Mian Mian immensely. Gu Yunting and Jin Lan also doted on her. Mian Mian was truly raised by these three men. Fortunately, even with their pampering, she was not spoiled and had a good temperament.
Only when Wu Xiaogui could no longer get up from the beating did Wu's father cautiously approach Jiang Jingxiu and Gu Yunting to apologize, his attitude humble. "Mr. Gu, Mr. Jiang, I apologize. All mistakes are the fault of my troublesome daughter. I will educate her properly when I get home and will never let her appear before Miss again, so as not to offend her eyes. I beg you to give me a chance to make a living in the capital."
As the man spoke, he bent over at a ninety-degree angle to bow. His humble demeanor was a stark contrast to his previous arrogance.
"Good, you know how to handle things. Take your troublesome children and get out!" Jiang Jingxiu said coldly.
It was only because his beloved daughter was unharmed. If she had been hurt in the slightest, he would have destroyed the entire Wu family.
Wu's father expressed his profuse gratitude and forcibly dragged his two battered children away.
The other girls were crying in fear. They were glared at by the bodyguards and dared not cry loudly, so they held it in, their faces turning red.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu, thank you, Dad. The matter is resolved. I'll leave the rest to you. My deskmate and I will go back to studying now." Mian Mian saw that the situation was mostly settled and decided to return to the classroom.
Now, the principal wouldn't trouble Yun Buji anymore, right?
"Go ahead. I'll have a talk with your Principal Wu." Jiang Jingxiu patted his daughter's head and gestured for her to leave.
"Jiang Mian Mian… can we walk together?" The girl looked at Jiang Mian Mian with tears in her eyes.
"We're not close, how would I know!" Jiang Mian Mian said before pulling Qian Xiaoguo away from the office.
Seeing this, the bodyguards surrounded the girls, making them even more frightened.
They never dreamed that Jiang Mian Mian's family was not poor but wealthy beyond their imagination. Ordinary wealthy families couldn't afford so many bodyguards, right?
They were truly blind. Jiang Mian Mian was not the inspiring poor beauty everyone thought she was; she was a genuine young lady, a flower of wealth and luxury!
The principal was also quite speechless. Gu Yunting disliked such occasions and left, leaving Jiang Jingxiu to clean up. Jiang Jingxiu talked with the principal for a long time.
