Baili Shangxie was rendered speechless.
Helian Wei Wei certainly had her ways to do herself justice. She closed her eyes and kept pondering the reason the man was unforgivingly arrogant. As China had always upheld the principle of peace and harmony, and this principle was not wrong. However, if the man takes advantage of our kindness, then we have to make him understand that we are warm and friendly, but it does not mean that we are weak!
As a lawyer, Helian Wei Wei was highly aware that in China, the foreigners were not the same as the Chinese. They did not have to follow the Chinese laws, they just had to abide by the International ones. Perhaps this was the very reason why there were some sc.u.m that acted outrageously in China...
Chapter 962 - Before The Gathering
They were haughty and always regarded the others with disdain. The foreigner on the plane was a perfect example.
The wheels of the plane rolled along the runway, causing the plane to shake. When the plane was finally stabilized, Helian Wei Wei's gaze turned colder. She was displeased when the foreigner picked up a call with a rude tone of voice once the craft landed.
Helian Wei Wei knew that there were many reasons that caused some foreigners to despise the Chinese. Some sc*ms even joked about how easy Chinese women were, saying that they could lay their hands on any girl they wanted the moment they flaunted their Caucasian faces. According to them, they did not have to put in any effort to attract Chinese women. Instead, the women would take the initiative to approach them.
They reckoned that, regardless of their appearance, even if the man was a bald and ugly man, he would still be able to get a young and pretty Chinese lady as their partner.
There were certainly similar situations. However, that did not apply to all Chinese girls.
Some of the ladies were kind, upright and independent. They applied their professional knowledge and worked diligently to strive for success in their careers. They relied merely on their own hard work and capability.
Girls like this could be found in every corner of China. Some of them might be the cashiers in the supermarkets, while some were cute girls in school. There were also managers in their suits who were currently working overtime.
They were working scrupulously and bearing pressures given by different parties, only wanted to avoid being looked down upon at their homeland.
As Helian Wei Wei overheard the conversation, her finger twitched. Then, she passed her luggage to His Highness, who was right beside her.
The two little ones had a strong urge to ask their Imperial Mother if she needed a helping hand during the fight, thinking that they could be very useful!
Before they managed to approach their mother, their father had dragged them back to their original spots.
His Highness' move was still as elegant as ever. With one hand, he grabbed the two little ones by their collars, while he held his phone with the other hand. Despite the smile that was painted across the corner of his lips, he appeared domineering as though he was the king of the world.
Helian Wei Wei walked at an extremely fast pace. The foreigner could feel a gust of wind as she walked past him.
Helian Wei Wei was not upset at all. She raised her eyebrows and stared at him, apparently trying to challenge him.
The foreigner had never received a gesture like this. As a reply, he arrogantly flipped Helian Wei Wei off.
Helian Wei Wei squinted before she violently grabbed him by his wrist and pulled his arm toward her.
Realizing what was happening, the foreigner thought that Helian Wei Wei was going to attack him. He cursed under his breath as he continued to wear the ferocious expression on his face.
Helian Wei Wei took advantage of the situation and turned her head to the side. A faint red mark appeared on her cheek.
At that moment, Baili Shangxie could feel the deadly aura that was surrounding his father.
He believed that the foreigner definitely would not live to see the day.
Although his Imperial Mother set up a trap for herself to be beaten, no one would ever be able to run away from a payback once they laid a finger on his Imperial Mother.
The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the security officers of the airport.
However, he was confident that the Chinese would not notice his mistake.
Scornful of the Chinese, he intended to leave the scene.
He did not expect Helian Wei Wei to block him at the speed of light. Wearing an absurdly wicked grin, she poked his chin. "You're trying to run away right after you hit me? Didn't you say that you are very familiar with the public international law? Coincidentally, I learnt about it before too."
As Helian Wei Wei spoke, she pressed the button on her earphone. "The police are here already? Good, let them in and bring the foreigner to the court. Yes, I want to sue him. What am I suing him for? Assault and battery. How bad is my injury? My face is disfigured."
The foreigner was stunned upon hearing Helian Wei Wei's words.
You're obviously the one who grabbed my hand and pulled it toward your face. You hit my hand with your cheek! Besides, how is this a facial disfigurement? This is only a mild bruise!
Which part of your face is disfigured?
Unfortunately, his opponent was Helian Wei Wei and her eloquence was more than sufficient to convince the police to capture him.
According to her, she was not only injured physically, but also traumatized mentally. As a result, she would be too afraid to go to the street in the future. Besides, she also claimed that this was not an ordinary attack. This foreigned had shown a propensity for violence and must be restrained.
However, this woman was capable of making a lie seem true.
He desperately tried to defend himself in English.
At that instant, Helian Wei Wei interrupted him in Chinese, "Are you going to deny your act? Everyone here can be my witness."
"Fine. I admit that I hit you, but that was because..."
"Since you have admitted guilt, our discussion should end here." Helian Wei Wei turned and said to the police, "You can take him away now."
Both the arms of the foreigner were clutched by the police officers. He glowered furiously, upset about being defeated.
At this moment, the woman looked at him with a grin on her face before she began to mumble in English.
Her words were not understandable by a layman. She had included too many professional terms in her statement.
As a foreigner, he grasped Helian Wei Wei's message. She told him, "You thought that you can be heedless in China without abiding by China's rules. Since that's what you assume, I will send you to the International Court of Justice. Anyway, we're not wasting my time. Time must be really precious for someone like you."
The proverb, "time is money", applied to all foreigners. He, a senior official who was stationed in China, had many duties in the office to fulfill. In fact, he had been facing some problems at work for the past few days. If he was involved in a lawsuit, he might be made redundant by his company due to his compromised efficiency.
Even if he would be required to compensate his opponent, the foreigner did not want to be sent back to his country simply because of such a trivial matter.
At this moment, he realized that he was doomed. Yet, it was too late to regret his act now. As he was being dragged away, the woman, who stood before him, grinned broadly. Not only that, she intentionally poked her cheek, mocking him.
Little did the foreigner know that this was merely the beginning of his misfortune.
Baili Shangxie overheard his Imperial Father's conversation over the phone. He spoke with a rather emotionless tone that somehow sent a chill down everyone's spines. "You've found it? He needs to learn what a slap in the face feels like. Stop all collaborations with their company. Explain to them that their manager…"
Chapter 963 - 959
"Hmm? Why? Because he did something stupid on the plane." A hint of coldness flashed across Baili Jia Jue's eyes. Notici
ng Helian Wei Wei's return, he finished his last sentence and hung up the call.
However, he was not done yet. His Highness took a glance behind his back. Immediately, a silhouette flashed past and charged directly at the foreigner.
Baili Shangxie crossed his arms and said, "Dad, didn't you say that you would leave Imperial Mother alone to vent out her anger?"
"Since she has finished her part, I figure that it's now my turn. Is it bothering you?" Baili Jia Jue threw a nonchalant gaze at his son, who was apparently born to annoy him.
Baili Shangxie muttered grumpily, "Then, why were we not allowed to do so!"
"You can bring a reaper to take revenge on the foreigner at night. However, never let your Imperial Mother find out about it." Baili Jia Jue continued in a muffled tone, "She doesn't like to use a ghost to deal with humans."
The two little ones immediately put on a smile upon hearing their father's suggestion. Our Imperial Father wants to use a ghost to deal with that man. He is so cunning.
To a man, death was not the scariest thing. Instead, it was more terrifying to live in fear, everyday for the rest of one's life.
"Then, we must make sure that he is traumatized and has to consult a psychiatrist afterward." Little Qingchen spoke like a gentleman, but he certainly had His Highness' savageness running in his veins.
If Helian Wei Wei overheard the trio's heedless plot, she would definitely doubt her way of educating her children.
On the other hand, His Highness was rather pleased. Having these two boys to work for me, I can take a rest tonight.
He always tried to restrain himself when he was facing the intelligent Helian Wei Wei.
After all, he did not want to hug his favorite Phoenix with a pair of hands that were stained with blood.
Notwithstanding that, Baili Jia Jue was swamped by bloodthirstiness, which originated in the deepest part of his heart, when he saw the faint bruise on Helian Wei Wei's cheek.
With a mere glance, Helian Wei Wei knew that the man was upset by her injury. She felt a chill down her spine, which lasted even after the driver arrived and she got into the car.
As a result, Helian Wei Wei, despite being the bossy president, was very obedient throughout the journey.
Initially, she intended to kiss His Highness after she got in the car in order to calm Baili Jia Jue's rage, that was concealed by his grace.
After all, that was how it was written in the novels. She was taught to solve it with no words, but only a kiss, when her partner was throwing a fit.
However, this method obviously did not work on His Highness. Just when Helian Wei Wei was about to peck him on his cheek, His Highness pushed her away. With an emotionless face, he said, "Sit down."
Helian Wei Wei would never allow His Highness to reject her. She obeyed his order and took a seat. But, before that, she quickly planted a kiss on his cheek. Pleased, the corner of her lips curled into a smile.
Seeing Helian Wei Wei's expression, His Highness reached out and turned her head to face him. Immediately, Helian Wei Wei sensed a hint of iciness that came with a scent of sandalwood.
It was blood.
It was said that the demon's blood was able to heal any wound. It could even bring the dead back to life.
Shocked, Helian Wei Wei quickly grabbed His Highness' hand. Her heart ached terribly. "You… it was just a minor wound that can be treated with some medications. Is it necessary to use your blood?"
Baili Jia Jue looked at her with a deep gaze before he replied with his hoarse voice, "Yes." Then, His Highness pulled her into his embrace.
As they were in a luxurious limousine, there was plenty of space inside the vehicle. In spite of his action, his elegance was not affected at all.
He grabbed Helian Wei Wei's hand. It seemed like he was playing with her, but at the same time, his words sounded like a warning. "You're mine and no one else can lay a finger on you."
Helian Wei Wei knew His Highness very well. Even if she was to get injured, he was the only person who could leave a wound on her.
However, Helian Wei Wei was distressed when she saw the bleeding wrist. Therefore, she held his hand throughout the entire journey.
Baili Jia Jue enjoyed seeing how Helian Wei Wei cared for him. Although it was something that could be cured by a simple trick, he did not mind acting like a human and pretending to be hurt if that could earn her attention.
The two little ones had been watching their parents since the beginning. Little Qingchen reckoned that there was no way for him to save his mother from this demon. His father was an excellent actor. Not only did Baili Jia Jue charm Helian Wei Wei with his pretty face, he pretended to be pitiful before her too. Little Qingchen finally understood why his mother claimed to be the bossy president. Sigh, I need to be prepared to witness more of my father's acting from now on.
Baili Shangxie had always despised his father. He knew for certain that his father was doing this because his father did not want his mother to get injured again in the future. In fact, his father did not have to use his blood to heal the wound, and they always had other options of using medication or magic.
His father used his blood so that his mother would pay him undivided attention.
As Baili Shangxie expected, when they arrived at the garage, Baili Jia Jue's face had turned completely pale as though he was suffering from excessive bleeding. However, his pallid complexion did not affect his beauty.
Helian Wei Wei put him on her bed. She dressed the wound on his wrist before she went downstairs to boil some red date soup for him.
The two little ones were made to stay and take care of their father. However, both of them knew clearly that their Imperial Father did not need their care at all.
Once Helian Wei Wei stepped out of the room, Baili Jia Jue rose to his feet. He dialed a number with the phone in his hand, appearing like a completely different person from the weak man from before. In the meantime, layers of black fog appeared behind his back. "He's there to apologize? Great. Ask him which hand did he use to hit the victim and break that hand of his."
On the other hand, the foreigner remained arrogant, thinking that the Chinese police could not do anything to him, for he had the green card.
He was actually right. If it was not for a criminal case, foreigners usually did not get detained when they were in China.
He did not spend more than 10 minutes in the police station before he was released on police bail with the help of his lawyer. He fixed his suit before he threw a contemptuous glance at the police officers and left the police station.
However, things did not happen according to his expectations. The moment he left the police station, the entire situation had changed. He was immediately called back to the headquarters and was condemned. The president of his company grabbed him by his collar and ordered him to personally apologize to the victim.
"Are you an uneducated man? Do you know that you were acting exactly like a sc*m on the plane?"
At this instant only the foreign realized how great the issue was. He fretted that he would lose his job. Therefore, he gloomily went to the place, following his president's order. He saw a villa that overshadowed the wealthy residential area. The villa was covered by roses, appearing like an ancient castle.
He assumed that his opponent would forgive him upon receiving his apology. Nevertheless, they were business partners. He reckoned that the other party would also prioritize their company's benefits.
Obviously, the foreigner was wrong.
His Highness had never cared about money...
Chapter 964 - Do You Want Me To Attend The Reunion With You?
The foreigner stepped into the villa and it was when his worst nightmare began. His left hand hurt so badly that it began to lose its sensation. He pleaded earnestly. Yet, it seemed like he was all alone in the villa. The thumping of the footsteps got increasingly louder as if it was getting nearer to him. He was so scared that he passed out.
When he finally opened his eyes ag
ain, he was back in the same cabin. However, the people inside the cabin were different. Everyone was staring at him with their bloodshot eyes. He felt as though he would be doomed the moment he said something wrong...
After finishing his task, Baili Jia Jue hung up the call. He grinned as he glanced at the two little ones who were shaking their heads in unison.
Baili Jia Jue looked at the two little third wheels before he removed the quilt, lay on his original spot and continued pretending to be ill.
Baili Shangxie could not stand it anymore. "Dad, don't you think that you're despicable for always lying to mom?"
"No," Baili Jia Jue nonchalantly unbuttoned his shirt as he replied in his usual graceful manner, "Also, you can bring Qingchen out now and lock the door on your way out. You should know by now that I hate it when your mother and I are disturbed."
Baili Shangxie was fl.u.s.tered. Yet, he reckoned that it was more important to take care of his younger brother.
The two little boys walked to the staircase, one at the front while another one followed closely behind. They were holding hands as they walked down the staircase. Escorted by four reapers and a magical dog, they headed for the playground.
After Helian Wei Wei finished preparing the soup, she noticed that there was no one upstairs. The small bowls she brought along no longer served their purposes. The two boys had definitely gone out to play.
Meanwhile, the man, who was sitting on the bed and leaning against the wall, seemed more attractive than ever. Helian Wei Wei had always known that he could easily capture everyone's heart if he had the intention to.
Baili Jia Jue put down the magazine in his hand before he lifted his gaze to look at her. "I don't want to drink the red date soup."
Is he being skittish?
Helian Wei Wei was pleased. "It doesn't matter if you don't want to drink it. Don't go out today. You should take a good rest at home."
