Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend

Chapter 854: Chapter 854: She’s Just That Much of a Double Standard

When Mr. Li learned his son was in trouble, he received a call from his wife while he was in an emergency meeting, unable to leave, so he sent his wife over to handle it.

He never expected it would involve someone from the Wanqi Family.

During the meeting, someone barged into the conference room and brought him a phone that was currently on a call.

He answered the call and learned it was from the sixth young master of the Wanqi Family.

He also realized his wife and son had offended people they shouldn’t have at school.

The Wanqi Family is one of the Four Great Families in Beijing, not someone ordinary people like them could afford to provoke.

Afraid something might happen to his wife and son, he hurried over, disregarding the meeting.

Mr. Li didn’t answer his wife’s question. Seeing they were unharmed, he began to assess the situation in the office.

His gaze swept over the principal and others, then landed on Ye Mei, who was sitting on a bench with a fairly tall youth.

Finally, his eyes fell on Gu Jin and the protector standing behind her holding a weapon. He knew the girl must hold the most authority here.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked towards Gu Jin.

As he was about to reach Gu Jin, Allen stepped out to stop him from approaching further.

His protective stance was unmistakable.

Mr. Li halted his steps and slightly bowed to Gu Jin: "I’m truly sorry. My wife and son, out of ignorance, have caused you trouble."

Gu Jin wasn’t buying it, her red lips curling into a smile devoid of warmth: "Apologizing without even asking, it seems like birds of a feather flock together?"

This was to mock Mrs. Li and Li Feng, as well as Director Wang, who accused Gu Jiayu of theft without investigation.

Mr. Li only knew they had offended someone from the Wanqi Family, not the specifics, so he dared not pursue who was right or wrong.

Even if his wife and son were right, today they were wrong.

"I’m not clear on the details, but there must be some misunderstanding causing this situation. I apologize on behalf of my wife and son."

Mr. Li bowed again to Gu Jin.

Gu Jin didn’t move or dodge, simply accepting his gesture.

She kept silent, and Mr. Li remained bent over, not moving either.

Time flowed silently, and the office atmosphere grew suffocatingly tense.

Seeing her husband being so respectful to Gu Jin, Mrs. Li rushed forward, grabbing his arm: "What are you doing? Aren’t you ashamed?!

Stand up! Why apologize to her when it’s clear they stole Feng’s watch, they should be apologizing to us instead!"

His wife’s disruptive behavior made Mr. Li’s face gradually sink.

Yet, Mrs. Li remained oblivious, muttering: "What’s our status compared to theirs? I see them as nothing but a bunch of thugs!

Ordinary people like us aren’t allowed to carry dangerous weapons, who knows through what underhanded means they got these things, we should call the—" police.

Mrs. Li didn’t get the chance to finish her sentence.

"Slap!"

Mr. Li raised his hand and slapped her.

"Ignorant woman, don’t add to my troubles here!"

Mr. Li was truly exasperated, giving his wife a harsh slap.

If her words reached the Wanqi Family, it wouldn’t just be his job at stake; the whole family could be implicated.

From the moment he raised his hand to hit her, Gu Jin’s finely arched brows furrowed tightly.

She detested men who hit women, and even though Mrs. Li was truly out of line, she felt the urge to step up and smack her.

But for a husband to hit his wife was unacceptable; she just couldn’t ignore this double standard.
