The video in Chuzheng’s hand clearly recorded the process, the man couldn’t deny it at all.

Even if Chuzheng fought back later, her responsibility was minor, since she wasn’t the one who initiated the attack.

The man earns just over two thousand a month, barely enough for living expenses, where would he find the money to compensate?

"I have no money, it’s not my fault!"

The man began to act shamelessly.

The people from the relevant department had seen many people like this, if the other party has no money, there’s really no way to make him compensate...

Chuzheng seemed calm: "I have all the time to play this out with you, rest assured, I’ll hire several lawyers to serve you." She had nothing but time and money.

[Miss, you don’t actually have much time.] King’s Account cheekily reminded.

Chuzheng: "..."

She forgot this body was on a countdown.

But it’s okay!

They don’t know anyway.

[...] Alright, at least Miss knows there’s money.

Man: "..."

For a man living at the bottom, lawyers are people he can’t even imagine interacting with.

In his impression, they are people who can turn black into white and vice-versa, very high and mighty.

Chuzheng didn’t get tangled up in this matter, she turned to look at the people from the relevant department: "There’s one more thing."

Chuzheng opened another video, it was a video of the man hitting Chen Beibei.

"What’s wrong with hitting my own child!" The man, seeing this, immediately shouted.

This statement was like a protective shield, granting the man endless power, making intervening in his child abuse impossible.

The dimly lit corridor was crowded with people, the air seemed stagnant, low murmurs drifted out from the crowd constantly.

"What his own child, he’s shameless."

"Such a sin, poor child. All he knows is hitting, because the child isn’t really his, he doesn’t feel a thing when hitting."

"Not to mention her mom..."

"Pitiful..."

The people from the relevant department had already understood the basic information, Chen Beibei was not the man’s biological daughter, she was his stepdaughter.

Due to the crowd, the relevant department decided to take all involved parties back.

Chuzheng originally planned to let Xi Jing wait at home, but he held onto Chuzheng, following silently.

Chuzheng had no choice but to take along this little tail.

Chen Beibei was already sent to the hospital, the man was taken away separately, Chuzheng and several witnesses waited in a corridor to give their statements.

Suddenly, the neighbors all started to overflow with a sense of justice, condemning the man, their tongues sharp and precise.

After giving their statements, apart from Chuzheng, all other involved parties could leave.

Chuzheng called in a lawyer, once the lawyer arrived, Chuzheng could also leave.

"Shall we go check on Beibei?" Xi Jing quietly requested to Chuzheng.

"..."

I saved her and now I have to check on her?!

I’m not her mom!

"Do you like her that much?"

"No..." Xi Jing shook his head in panic: "I... I just..."

"Just what?" Chuzheng squinted: "Are you really planning on marrying her when she grows up?"

"No, no, I never thought of that." Xi Jing waved his hands and shook his head, afraid that Chuzheng misunderstood: "I... I was often bullied when I was young too, back then I really wanted someone to help me, but..."

Although what he went through isn’t the same as what Chen Beibei went through, their situations were pretty similar.

In an environment like that...

He hoped there would be someone there for him, perhaps Chen Beibei also hoped for someone to help her.

That’s why every time Xi Jing saw Chen Beibei in that situation, he couldn’t help but want to lend her a hand.

"As long as you don’t like her." Chuzheng pulled him close for a hug: "You only need to love me and that’s enough." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Xi Jing’s heartbeat quickened slightly, it took a moment before he responded: "Can we go see her?"

Chuzheng instructed the driver to turn back to the hospital, Xi Jing glanced sideways and placed a light kiss on her cheek.

Chuzheng stroked his head, silently watching the lights outside the window fly by, their silhouettes blending subtly in the night color.

-

Chen Beibei was beaten badly, though fortunately no bones were broken.

The relevant department contacted a protection agency, they had already sent someone over and were accompanying Chen Beibei.

Chen Beibei’s mother was not there, no one knew where she went.

When Xi Jing went in, the previously silent Chen Beibei noticeably showed a change in emotion.

"Who are you?"

"I’m her neighbor." Xi Jing answered softly.

The person turned to ask Chen Beibei if she recognized Xi Jing.

Chen Beibei nodded, and the person finally allowed Chuzheng and Xi Jing inside.

"Brother..." Chen Beibei spoke with a hoarse voice, sounding somewhat unpleasant.

With Chuzheng’s consent, Xi Jing sat by the bedside to comfort Chen Beibei.

Chuzheng took the protection agency personnel outside to speak.

"What will her situation be judged as?"

"She still has a mother, she should still follow her mother."

"Her mother did nothing, almost got her killed by that man, and she’ll still be required to follow her mother?"

"That’s how the law is..." The staff member sighed: "The most we can do is make regular checks. If she doesn’t divorce that person..."

Chuzheng looked through the observation window on the door of the hospital room.

Chen Beibei seemed to really like Xi Jing, she was smiling then.

With a faint and gentle smile, Xi Jing’s lips curled a little, like a bloom shyly peeking from between green leaves in March, blossoming quietly yet making one’s eyes light up.

Chuzheng lightly gripped the fabric in her pocket, turned to speak a few words with the personnel, and pushed the door open to enter.

"We’re leaving."

"I’ll find a way to see you tomorrow." Xi Jing told Chen Beibei softly.

Chen Beibei glanced at Chuzheng and whispered: "Brother, is she bullying you?"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"You have to find a way to see me, doesn’t it mean so?"

"She’s not bullying me, she’s very good to me." Xi Jing said: "It’s just that she doesn’t like to talk to cute girls, she gets jealous."

Chen Beibei blinked: "Am I a cute girl?"

"Of course, our Beibei is very cute."

"Are you done?"

Chuzheng’s impatient voice rang out.

Seeing them huddled together was particularly irritating to Chuzheng, even a brat couldn’t! He’s mine!

Only mine!

Xi Jing hurried over, proactively grabbing Chuzheng’s hand: "Alright."

Chuzheng grabbed Xi Jing and walked out, Xi Jing waved to Chen Beibei, disappearing at the door in an instant.

Leaving the hospital, with no one around, Xi Jing immediately started shaking Chuzheng’s arm: "I like only you."

"Hm."

Xi Jing tugged on Chuzheng, slightly pouting: "Give me a kiss."

"Why?" The Good Person Card suddenly acting so forward, there must be a plot!

"To prove you’re not angry anymore." Xi Jing leaned closer.

Chuzheng: "..."

Who said I’m angry?

What would I be angry about?!

Xi Jing swayed her arm slightly.

Chuzheng gave a perfunctory kiss: "Let’s go home."

"Not angry anymore?"

"I’m not angry."

"You totally are."

"No."

"You are... uh..."
