In the manager's office, a flamboyantly dressed woman was reproaching with anger as she sat on the sofa, while the manager tried his best to apologize.

"What sort of employees are you hiring here? Do you think anyone can just strike our Cui family members? Daring to lay hands on my daughter, are you tired of living?"

Glaring at Lin Miamia, the woman vented her wrath even more. "Standing, she doesn't stand properly; sitting, she doesn't sit gracefully. Are you all blind to hire such person? Let me tell you, if there's a single scratch on my daughter’s face, I’m not going to let you off!" Having said that, she stormed at Lin Miamia again, "What a despicable creature with no nurturing!"

The manager, equally infuriated, shot a glance at Lin Miamia before turning to the woman sheepishly, "What do you wish to do then?"

"Make her kneel and apologize to our Jia Wan, then roll away from here!"

Kneel and apologize? Isn’t that a bit too much?

The manager frowned, "Mrs. Cui, this is..."

"If you can't do it, I'll have you shut down within a week!"

Terrified, the manager continued to apologize, "No, no, no, I will do as you say." He turned to Lin Miamia, his face stern, "Are you deaf? Apologize to Mrs. Cui now."

Lin Miamia, completely shaken, remained still.

"Do you want me to have my bodyguards step in?" the woman continued in her shrill voice, "You don’t only need to apologize today, but also compensate for Jia Wan’s medical fees, nutrition fees, and pay for the emotional distress... Fall short on any of these, and we will meet in court!"

Everyone in the capital knew the notoriety of the Cui family, who were well known for their recklessness in the business world, especially this Mrs. Cui.

Although the manager was also angry at Lin Miamia's behavior, he couldn't deny that Mrs. Cui was being overly oppressive. He gave Lin Miamia a sympathetic look, and finally resolved, "Let’s do as Mrs. Cui suggested."

Lin Miamia’s fist tightened at her side.

"Also, since this incident happened here, none of you can shirk your responsibility!"

The manager furrowed his eyebrows.

"Drop low enough and you have no enemies, huh." A remark of apathy slipped from Lin Miao Miao's lips.

"Who are you cursing? You low-life!" Cui Yu Zhen raised her hand, ready to strike.

Yet, her hand never fell.

Bang!

The office door was forcefully thrown open, an almost godlike man appeared in front of everyone. The cold and stern-faced, Leng Mu Chen, scanned the room with his gaze, his eyes shimmering with a dangerous light, chilling the heart of Cui Yu Zhen.

He contemptuously brushed her aside, and his generous hand fell on Lin Miao Miao's head. He affectionately said, "Sorry, I'm late."

It had been so long, Lin Miao Miao almost forgot what tears tasted like. But at this moment, her dry eyes started to turn red.

The powerful aura of Leng Mu Chen left everyone in the office stunned, speechless for a long moment.

Cui Yu Zhen finally shrieked, "Who are you?"

"The closest person to my Miao Miao,” Leng Mu Chen ambiguously replied. If it wasn't for his promise to the little girl, he would've announced his identity a long time ago.

"Then good! Tell me, Lin Miao Miao hit my daughter. What do you plan to do about it?"

Leng Mu Chen didn't bother to acknowledge Cui Yu Zhen, instead, he leaned slightly towards Lin Miao Miao, and asked softly, "Why did you hit someone?"

Lin Miao Miao turned her head, with zero intention to explain. After all these years, no one would believe her, no matter what she said.

"Miao Miao, tell me." Leng Mu Chen tightened his hold around her, his tone becoming slightly harsher.

Lin Miao Miao was somewhat annoyed: "I hit her because I did, why does it need so many reasons?"
