What to Do If I Become the Villain’s Daughter

Chapter 58



All disputes began to simplify as Lawyer Zheng entered the office.

Lawyer Zheng took a firm stance, stating that even if the Glasses Woman chose to call the police, Huo Guining's side would insist on pressing charges.

The staff also played the surveillance footage from the time of the incident, attempting to mediate between the two parties and encourage a private settlement to avoid escalating the situation.

The Glasses Woman was clearly in the wrong.

But the fact that her son had been slapped was something that neither of them could get over, no matter how they looked at it.

"Your son is so fat, what's wrong with getting slapped?" Huo Yueze unleashed his sarcasm skills. "My sister is so thin, who knows what kind of injury that punch could have caused her."

The situation reached a stalemate.

Huo Yueze lost his patience.

"Since they don't want to apologize, let's meet in court then."

With that, he took a wet wipe to clean Huo Guining's mouth and hands, then picked her up and headed for the exit.

Seeing their demeanor, the Glasses couple realized they couldn't mess with them.

The Glasses Man slapped his unruly child on the back: "Always causing trouble, acting tough after hitting someone. Hurry up and apologize!"

The boy was stunned by the slap, looking at his father in disbelief before his face crumpled and he began wailing loudly.

The Glasses Woman scolded him too: "Cry, cry, cry, that's all you know how to do. Don't let people say you're ill-mannered!"

Huo Yueze picked at his ear, his expression impatient: "Are you two insulting us indirectly?"

The Glasses couple fell silent, focusing on scolding their son.

The staff member, not wanting to make a big deal of the situation, said with a placating smile: "Look, it's just children playing rough. We apologize on their behalf. Please be magnanimous and don't take it out on a child."

Huo Yueze still had some anger pent up in his chest.

However, Huo Guining felt that the slap she had given had already vented her anger.

She quietly leaned close to Huo Yueze's ear and said: "Brother, that little boy's face is swollen. He's hurting more than me."

Huo Yueze glanced over and saw that it was true.

The boy's cheek clearly showed the imprint of five fingers.

Huo Yueze cleared his throat and said: "Alright then, let's consider this matter settled."

With that, he gave Lawyer Zheng a look and left with Huo Guining.

This small incident didn't affect the siblings' mood.

After confirming that Huo Guining was fine, Huo Yueze took her to enjoy all the rides in the amusement park.

The two happily returned home carrying amusement park souvenirs.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Huo Yueze asked as he was helping Huo Guining change her shoes and saw Huo Jing standing in the entrance.

Huo Jing replied irritably: "You have the nerve to ask me that? You two have gone viral."

Huo Yueze and Huo Guining: Both looked bewildered.

"Go look online for yourselves. You and your sister are trending on social media!"

Saying this, Huo Jing took Huo Guining's hand and sat her on the couch: "Ningning, where did that nasty boy hit you? Let auntie take a look."

Huo Guining seemed a bit shy: "On my back, but it doesn't hurt anymore."

Huo Yueze sat down next to them while checking his phone.

On social media, the hashtag 'Siblings Bullying Others with Their Power' was trending at number three.

It turned out that bystanders had filmed the incident and uploaded the video to social media.

In the video, the moment when Huo Guining hit the boy was edited to look particularly violent.

Immediately after the incident, someone claiming to be a child psychology expert appeared to analyze Huo Guining's violent behavior and micro-expressions.

They concluded that Huo Guining might have antisocial personality disorder.

Huo Yueze was furious: "What nonsense!"

Huo Jing, having seen such tactics before, tried to calm him down: "I've already contacted the PR company to handle it."

"But Ningning, tell auntie the truth, are you really not hurt?"

Huo Jing had seen the video; that unruly boy had caught Ningning off guard with a sudden attack.

The force looked considerable.

Huo Guining shook her head, insisting she was fine.

Huo Yueze became a bit anxious: "Won't this incident make people think of Ningning's previous..."

He suddenly closed his mouth.

Huo Jing shot him a glare. He really knew how to bring up the wrong topics.

"Ningning, don't listen to your brother's nonsense." Huo Jing stroked her head.

Although she said this, Huo Jing had also heard about Ningning's episode due to the news last time.

What Huo Yueze said wasn't entirely without reason.

"Yueze, take your sister to freshen up. I've ordered takeout. We'll eat when your parents get back."

As she spoke, she made a phone call gesture to Huo Yueze.

Huo Yueze understood and led Huo Guining to her room.

As soon as the two disappeared from view, Huo Jing dialed Huo Xiaozheng's number.

...

Before Huo Jing could react, an interview with the Glasses Woman went viral on video platforms.

"That little girl was so vicious! My son's face is still swollen!"

"My son loves playing with other kids, just like how boys like to pull the pigtails of girls sitting in front of them."

"Who knew that little girl would be so fierce? It was just playing around, and she hit him."

"And she had two bodyguards with her. Who would dare mess with that?"

Huo Xiaozheng was watching the video while on the phone with Huo Jing.

His expression grew colder.

"The rest doesn't matter. Online drama will die down in a few days," Huo Jing said. "I'm just worried about Ningning. You're not by her side right now, and I'm afraid if something happens to her, we won't know how to handle it."

Huo Xiaozheng thought for a moment: "Just don't let her see the news and she'll be fine."

Huo Jing understood this point well.

"Also, I heard that Ningning has been seeing a psychologist..."

Huo Xiaozheng coldly asked: "Did Shen Shiyan tell you that?"

Huo Jing didn't deny it: "He accidentally let it slip when we were having dinner."

"What are you trying to say?"

Hearing Huo Xiaozheng's tone, Huo Jing knew he had misunderstood her intentions.

"You've seen today's video too. All these so-called experts have popped up online, judging Ningning left and right."

"It's possible some gossip accounts might still remember Ningning's previous news incident."

"What if they dig up the fact that Ningning is seeing a psychologist? Wouldn't that make things even worse?"

Huo Jing explained all at once.

This was something Huo Xiaozheng hadn't considered.

Although Huo Xiaozheng had sued all the gossip accounts after the last news incident, this time was different.

No one would care about Ningning's background, experiences, or the truth in the video.

They would only think that Ningning was a potential sociopath with a mental illness.
