Chapter 72 (1/2)

Bowing to Apologize

Although, Cai Weidong was ordinarily wild and spoiled but now, he was nevertheless very uncomfortable and prudent.

Cai Hengping and Cai Weidong, father and son duo had suddenly appeared, making Qin Lang almost certain of Wu Wenxiang’s purpose for inviting him to dinner. Anyway, this was Wu Wenxiang’s home and he waited to see Wu Wenxiang’s further performance.

“Old Cai, you, father and son, take a rest at the living room first. We will discuss once I finish dinner with a guest.” Wu Wenxiang directly led Cai Hengping and Cai Wendong to cool at one side, this clearly showed his superiority to the two father and child duo.

Qin Lang and Wu Wenxiang finished eating only after almost half an hour. Afterwards, Wu Wenxiang helped his esteemed mother to her room, then he went to the living room with Qin Lang.

“Mayor Wu, I know you are busy so I will get right to the point, I came to visit you with my son to apologize.” Cai Hengping said humbly. Wu Wenxiang was the mayor, it was an inevitable matter for Cai Hengping to bow his head.

“Old Cai, look at what you are saying. You haven’t offended me so what are you apologizing to me for?” Wu Wenxiang said with a faint smile, “Oh, that’s right, this is Qin Lang, he is my nephew. He just transferred to Seven Mid some days ago. Oh, your child is also in Seven Mid, right? Maybe they know each other.”

“Uncle Wu, we are in the same cla.s.s.” Cai Weidong interrupted at this moment.

“Impudent, who let you interrupt!?” Cai Hengping ruthlessly glared at his son and only then, he said to Wu Wenxiang, “Mayor Wu, this child doesn’t understand manners, please don’t lower yourself to his level.”

“Old Cai, look at what you are saying, how can I lower myself to argue with a child?” Wu Wenxiang laughed but then his tone changed, “But, since this child doesn’t understand manners, you, as the family head should have taught him properly. Could it be that the child doesn’t understand manners means you also don’t understand!? It hasn’t been long since my nephew transferred to Seven Mid but I heard he was bullied today, I am not sure what’s going on. Little Cai, do you know what it’s all about?”

“I…….” Cai Weidong, seeing Wu Wenxiang ask him, stammered. He didn’t know how he should reply because he was absolutely not used to Wu Wenxiang’s roundabout way of speaking. Although he was not much intelligent but he was absolutely sure that Wu Wenxiang already knew about this matter. Since he already knew, why is he asking?

Pa!

Cai Weidong had still not spoken, but he received a slap from his father. Moreover, this slap was very loud but in reality, it didn’t have much force and was only for appearance. But as Cai Weidong’ face had originally been injured, this slap still hurted him, making him cry out.

“Old Cai, why does your child have such a big temperament?” Wu Wenxiang said indifferently, “I only asked a question. Even if there is something wrong with the child, you should go back and discipline him properly.”

“Yes, Mayor Wu, you are right.” Cai Hengping nodded his head repeatedly.

Cai Hengping was considerably angered by today’s affairs. His child caused trouble and actually angered Wu Wenxiang. Moreover, his wife unexpectedly committed an offense against Zhao Zhiwei. In a short while, two members of the Standing Committee had been offended and one of them was second in charge of the Xiayang city with true authority. This was practically an unlucky year! If today’s affairs are not wiped clean, Cai Hengping was afraid that later, he would not have any good days in Xiayang city.

So, even though Cai Hengping loved his son dearly but this time, he still slapped Cai Weidong.

Cai Weidong was tall and stout, he was half a head taller than his father but he didn’t dare to utter a word after receiving the slap because his father had already said that if today Wu Wenxiang didn’t forgive him then he reckoned he, Cai Weidong would have no choice but to go to Labor Camp and stay for about a year. After all, today, he had used a knife and moreover, he had accidentally injured Sunbo. If he really had to go through judicial procedures, then perhaps he would be facing the criminal charge of ‘Intentional Injury’. He also knew suffering few slaps on the face could make it be bygones.

“Qin Lang, I am sorry!” Immediately at this moment, Cai Weidong suddenly stood in front of Qin Lang and bowed his head to admit his mistake, but he was clearly somewhat unwilling.

“All right, Cai Weidong.” Qin Lang also was not inclined in seeing this father and son duo’s performance, “I am not used to speaking implicitly like Mayor Wu so I will speak straightforwardly. Today, I slapped you twice, that is because previously, you instigated Zhao Guang to deal with me. Furthermore, you spread rumors to slander me and in addition, today, you still thought of stabbing me with a knife. So, you haven’t been wronged by receiving these two slaps. As you have sincerely apologized, I will forget about the previous matters. But, if this happens again, then don’t blame me for being rude!”
