Chapter 1478: Capítulo 1478: Chapter 1479: Take Action

She just wanted to save face, even if she didn’t get Su Xinying to apologize in public, the outcome was almost the same.

People like her have the capital to be arrogant, but they are bound to stumble eventually.

With that in mind, she decided not to bother with it, and followed them to go inside.

At that moment, a car stopped, and Su Miaotong hurried over, looking Nan Jiaojiao up and down, “Are you okay?”

Nan Jiaojiao shook her head, “I’m fine.”

“I rushed over immediately after getting a call from the assistant, worried Xinying might act impulsively. She just got out of the detention center, and I haven’t had the chance…”

“Smack!”

No one noticed how Mrs. Su managed to sneak over. Nan Jiaojiao’s view was blocked, and by the time she sensed danger, she couldn’t stop it, allowing that slap to land solidly on Su Miaotong’s face.

She immediately pulled Su Miaotong to her side and raised her hand to return the slap.

Mrs. Su’s face turned fierce, but seeing someone really daring to raise a hand at her, she instinctively recoiled.

However, Su Miaotong held onto Nan Jiaojiao’s hand.

She softly said, “Jiaojiao, don’t hit back.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned to look at Su Miaotong, who had her head down. Her hair was in a low ponytail, and although the strands at her temples covered some parts, there was already a noticeable red mark on the side of her face that was slapped.

“Why?”

Su Miaotong replied, “The slap was meant for me. Even if something needs to be done, it’s my place to strike back, not yours. If you hit back, you’ll lose your ground.”

“I don’t care!”

“She’s my uncle’s wife,” Su Miaotong squeezed her hand, “Forget it. If we just ignore her, she’ll tire out eventually. Later I’ll speak with Director Qin to have the surveillance footage handed over to the police, and leave the rest alone to avoid more trouble.”

Nan Jiaojiao knew these words were meant to shield her.

But Su Miaotong and the Su family are blood-related; Nan Jiaojiao can step aside, but Su Miaotong can’t.

Even standing on the right side, she doesn’t dare to act.

Nan Jiaojiao was infuriated beyond measure, but clearheadedly she realized she truly couldn’t land that slap, or how else to sue this mother-daughter pair?

“Let’s go inside.”

Nan Jiaojiao helped Su Miaotong and headed inside.

A police siren sounded from behind; the police had arrived.

The scene of the Su mother and daughter being taken away didn’t interest Nan Jiaojiao to watch, but she later heard people talking about it with contempt. Apparently, the mother and daughter continued to create a scene, but changed their demeanor once the handcuffs were on, trying to bribe with money, and brazenly doing it in front of many witnesses. Their disregard for the law was blatant, and the police wouldn’t let them go, not even a kind word, just directly escorted into the car.

Su Miaotong first went to Qin Qing’s office and came back after a few minutes.

Nan Jiaojiao waited in her office silently until Su Miaotong sat down and started applying a compress to her face.

“Where did you get the egg?”

“I bought it from the cafeteria, the towel is new.”

Su Miaotong smiled, “Thank you, you’ve been thoughtful.”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at her, hesitating to speak, but managed to suppress it, saying nothing.

“Were you wanting to ask if they’ve come to find me?”

Nan Jiaojiao replied indifferently, “You don’t have to tell me if you’d rather not.”

“There’s nothing to hide. After Xinying’s detention, my uncle and aunt came to our home every day to be shameless. Because of my job, I could temporarily avoid it, but my parents couldn’t. Every day they serve them good food and drinks, and send them away at night. My mom’s even telling me not to go home right now—wait until it passes.”
