A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

Su Yue suddenly looked up, interrupting Lu Weidong:

"What does it mean when someone arrives?"

"Hasn't she arrived yet?"

The next second, Ye Wenxi's voice came from behind the crowd.

Clear and decisive: "Listen to me, everyone."

"I have something to take care of here first, it's over there on the bulletin board."

"Please wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Su Ran and Lu Weidong.

"Oh my, isn't this Su Ran?"

"And Director Wang?"

"Is he going to issue a public apology?"

"Apologize for what?"

"Didn't you know? They beat up Battalion Commander Lu's wife a few days ago!"

......

The crowd instantly understood what was happening.

They started surging towards the bulletin board.

Everyone secretly cheered.

Today's excitement was totally worth it.

You can watch the child model selection and witness the Su sisters publicly apologize.

In just a few minutes.

Hundreds of people, young and old, have gathered under the bulletin board.

They were thrilled to hear there was something free to get.

Everyone who can come is rushing here.

Su Yue and Su Ran were pale, and their lips were trembling slightly.

"Excuse me, everyone, please make way."

Ye Wenxi's voice came from behind the crowd.

The crowd automatically parted to both sides, making way for them.

Ye Wenxi walked slowly from the middle of the road.

A calm and gentle smile graced his face.

But to Su Ran, that smile was more painful than needle pricks.

With each step Ye Wenxi took closer, it was as if he was pushing Su Ran a little further towards the edge of a cliff.

Director Wang steeled himself and went up to them:

"Xiao Ye, didn't we agree to handle that matter today?"

"Why did you organize so many people to come?"

Ye Wenxi turned to Director Wang, his face still bearing that gentle expression:

"Sister Wang, you've misunderstood."

"I made this decision a long time ago. You can see from the notices and materials that everything was prepared in advance."

"You notified me of the time yesterday too late, so I don't want to trouble Sister Zhang to change the time again."

"I figured it would only be a few words, it wouldn't take long."

Lu Weidong walked over, his expression calm, his tone firm:

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Isn't this a suitable public place?"

Lu Weidong and Ye Wenxi played the roles of good cop and bad cop, respectively.

His words were so subtle and precise that Director Wang couldn't find a single word to refute them.

She turned to look at the Su sisters.

Those two faces were so pale they were completely bloodless.

Director Wang's heart sank.

This whole thing is probably a complete disaster.

"Aunt Zhang, why haven't you given out the candy yet?"

"Fangfang, wait a little longer. We need to wait for Aunt Ye to finish her business."

Ye Wenxi faced Director Wang and the two Su sisters.

"Shall we...begin?"

Director Wang was at his wit's end.

I just want to get this over with as quickly as possible.

The arrow was already on the bowstring; it had to be released.

She took a deep breath and stood in front of the crowd:

"Uh... let me briefly explain the situation."

"A while ago, a small dispute occurred in our courtyard."

"Let's take this opportunity to speak frankly."

She turned to look at Su Yue:

"Xiaoyue, is there anything you'd like to say to Comrade Xiaoye?"

Su Yue bit her lip, glaring fiercely at Ye Wenxi, but remained silent.

Discussions were already breaking out in the crowd:

"Judging from his posture, it doesn't seem like he's going to admit his mistake."

"Look at that little girl, her eyes are wide open like she's going to eat someone alive."

Director Wang cleared his throat.

Seeing this, Su Ran took a step forward.

"Comrade Xiao Ye, what happened last time caused you harm."

"I've always felt really bad about it."

"Here, on behalf of my sister, I apologize to you. It's my fault for not disciplining her properly."

"sorry..."

As she spoke, she bowed deeply.

As I straightened up, tears rolled down my cheeks.

"I hope you can give her a chance, considering she's still a minor."

"She has already been disciplined, and we will provide financial compensation."

"If... if this still doesn't make you feel better..."

"Just hit me twice."

As he spoke, he actually tried to grab Ye Wenxi's hand and hit himself with it.

Ye Wenxi quickly withdrew and retreated.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

He was secretly amazed.

This Su Ran... she's got something.

In this situation, the smartest thing to do is to protect your reputation first.

Keep a low profile.

They preemptively presented the punishment and compensation, then emphasized that Su Yue was a minor.

Every word sounded sincere, and every sentence was an apology.

In reality, it was a strategic retreat.

What they should do and what compensation they should pay has already been laid bare.

If Ye Wenxi had shown even a little bit of toughness at this moment...

That means being unforgiving even when you're in the right.

The wind direction will immediately reverse.

These thoughts of Ye Wenxi only flashed through his mind for a fleeting moment as he dodged.

Lu Weidong, who was standing next to her, was about to step forward to block her, but she stopped him with a look.

The next second, she stood back in front of Su Ran and grabbed Su Ran's hand.

"Xiao Ran, don't be like this."

"Actually... that day was all a misunderstanding!"

She reached out to grab Su Yue's hand again, startling Su Yue into pulling away abruptly.

I thought she was going to use the same old trick again.

But she wasn't as fast as Ye Wenxi.

They still got caught red-handed.

"Xiaoyue, your sister understands."

"You've misunderstood!"

"You said our Weidong is your sister's man."

"They even said I ruined their happy lives..."

"And the result? I went back and asked Weidong."

"He said..." Ye Wenxi deliberately slowed down here.

"He doesn't know you at all!!"

Ye Wenxi deliberately raised his voice when he said this.

Before he could finish speaking...

Suddenly, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

Immediately following was a murmur of discussion.

At this moment, Su Yue and Su Ran's faces had turned a deep liver color.

Ye Wenxi turned to look at the bursting laughter of the crowd.

"Look at this, haven't we made a fool of ourselves?"

"They're making up something that's completely baseless, as if it were the truth."

"What else could this be but a misunderstanding?"

When a villain tries to obscure his or her wrongdoing by feigning weakness.

The best response is not to follow her lead.

Instead, it laid bare her past actions and words before everyone.

After Ye Wenxi finished speaking, he sneered inwardly:

Are you going to play the green tea bitch with me?

I've seen more scheming women than you've eaten rice.

She released Su Ran's hand and grasped Su Yue's hand with both of hers:

"Xiaoyue...you're still young."

"They may not be able to distinguish right from wrong."

"So your sister doesn't blame you."

"As long as you admit your mistake, this matter is over."

Su Ran, who was standing next to her, seemed to speak up as well.

Ye Wenxi immediately turned her head.

"Xiao Ran, people always have to grow up."

"You can't protect her forever; she should be responsible for her own actions."

"This is the right way to treat her!"

Suddenly, a child's voice rang out:

"Yes! My mother taught me that I should admit my own mistakes!"

"If you do something, you have to take responsibility for it!"

Ye Wenxi looked at the fair-skinned little girl with pigtails.

He gave her a gentle and approving smile.

Good boy... You're the one we'll choose as a child model.

Su Yue took a deep breath, as if she had used up all her strength.

He didn't look at Ye Wenxi; his eyes were fixed on the ground.

Her lips moved slightly: "I'm sorry..."

The apology was so weak it was almost inaudible.

murmurs immediately arose from the crowd.

Did she just apologize?

"I couldn't hear you, the voice was too soft."

Ye Wenxi genuinely didn't hear:

"Huh? What did you say?"

Su Yue suddenly looked up, her voice shrill:

"I said sorry! Are you satisfied now?!"

After yelling, she turned and left without looking back.

There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd:

"Oh my... what's with this girl's attitude?"

"This isn't admitting fault, it's clearly just being stubborn."

"You said such awful things, and you can't even offer a proper apology?"

"Exactly, they have absolutely no manners!"

"Shh...keep your voice down, her family has connections."

"So what if you have connections? Does that give you the right to insult people and refuse to admit your mistakes?"

Director Wang stepped forward and waved to the crowd:

"Alright, alright! Enough talk!"

She turned to Ye Wenxi and Lu Weidong: "Let's leave it at that."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Wang. Please go ahead with your work."

After Ye Wenxi finished speaking, he turned to the crowd and said, "Alright, I've taken care of my personal matters."

"Please line up now, everyone, we're about to begin selecting child models!"

She turned and strode toward the notice board.

He didn't glance at Su Ran, who was still standing there.

I didn't even see the ruthless glint in the other person's eyes.
