Jiang Wan’er ran towards Jiang Ping with small steps.
Although she was usually fearless, she was afraid of her father when he was like this.
Looking at her father’s serious face, her small hands suddenly twisted together, not knowing what to do.
“Dad, why did you call me?”
Jiang Ping’s face was dark as he asked in a deep voice, “Did you get into trouble again today?”
Her body trembled and she quickly shook her head.
“No, I was very obedient today. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Cai Rou.”
Cai Rou was Jiang Wan’er’s personal maid.
But Jiang Ping didn’t pay any attention to her.
This little girl was playing tricks on him. He might accidentally fall into her trap.
“What? Are you still not being honest? Do you mean that your Uncle Zhong has wronged you?”
Jiang Ping’s tone became colder and colder.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan’er was so anxious that she pulled the braids on her head.
However, she still didn’t understand what kind of trouble she had caused.
The butler and Cai Rou were also very anxious.
“Dad, what kind of trouble have I caused?”
Jiang Wan’er was so anxious that her eyes became watery.
Jiang Ping couldn’t bear to see her in this manner.
But his face didn’t change.
“Well, I’ll give you a reminder.”
“Did you beat up that Li Xiaojiang on Sanshi Street today?”
Hearing the name Li Xiaojiang, Jiang Wan’er suddenly understood.
It was that snotty guy who wasn’t as tall as her but walked with a swagger.
And there were a few kids following behind him.
Jiang Wan’er snorted and shook her head.
“No, I didn’t hit him.”
Hearing this answer, Jiang Ping’s face darkened.
Judging from her expression just now, it was obvious that she had thought of something.
However, she continued pretending to be confused.
“You still don’t admit it, right?”
“If you don’t admit it, I will be angry.”
As he said this, Jiang Ping acted as if he was about to lose his temper.
Jiang Wan’er was so scared that she quickly waved her small hands and said in a childish voice.
“Dad, don’t be angry. I didn’t deny it.”
“I really didn’t hit him. I only kicked him lightly.”
Looking at her, Jiang Ping’s heart instantly softened.
For a moment, he was also slightly convinced.
“You really only kicked him lightly?”
Jiang Ping’s tone suddenly became much gentler.
Jiang Wan’er noticed the difference and nodded frantically.
“Yes, yes. I really didn’t hit him!”
But Jiang Ping was still a little suspicious.
He turned his head and asked the butler, “Uncle Zhong, is what Wan’er said true?”
Hearing this, Jiang Wan’er immediately winked at Chen Zhong.
But how could Jiang Ping not see it?
He coughed coldly, and Jiang Wan’er immediately stood at attention, not daring to play any more tricks.
Chen Zhong squeezed out a bitter smile. “It was a kick, but Li Xiaojiang’s leg is broken.”
Hmph!
Jiang Ping snorted coldly.
“Is this what you mean by a light kick?”
“You broke his leg!”
Jiang Wan’er raised her head, wanting to say something.
But she didn’t know what else to say, so she could only lower her head again.
Seeing that she didn’t answer, Jiang Ping’s anger subsided a little.
“Tell me, why did you hit him?”
Jiang Ping’s tone didn’t change at all.
And when Jiang Wan’er heard this question, she immediately became angry.
She said with an indignant look, “That guy is always bossing people around in town, bullying those poor kids.”
“I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I gave him a kick. Let’s see if he still dares to bully others in the future.”
“Hehe, Dad, do you think I did the right thing?”
As she said that, Jiang Wan’er put on a cheeky smile.
Then, she walked to Jiang Ping’s side and hooked her arm around his.
A pair of big shining eyes blinked as if hinting at Jiang Ping, ‘Dad, praise me. Did I do a good job?’
After Jiang Ping listened to her narration, his face turned even darker.
He flicked the girl’s forehead, causing Jiang Wan’er to quickly let go of his hand and cover her forehead in pain.
Tears even appeared in her bright eyes.
“Dad, what are you doing?!” Jiang Wan’er pouted and protested.
Jiang Ping only snorted lightly.
“You still have the nerve to say that you did the right thing after hitting someone?”
“But it was a bad person!”
Jiang Wan’er was very unconvinced.
‘It’s fine if Dad doesn’t want to praise me, but he even hurt my forehead. Is he my biological father?’ Jiang Wan’er thought.
“Don’t you always say that we should have a kind heart? I only did it because I saw that Li Xiaojiang bullying others. Why are you blaming me instead?”
Jiang Ping was stunned. This girl dared to talk back now.
“If you can’t stand it, you can use other methods. Why do you have to hit people?”
“I remember telling you that fighting is wrong, right?”
“I–!”
Jiang Wan’er immediately stuttered.
The most frequent thing her father had told them was not to stir up trouble.
However, before she could defend herself, Jiang Ping continued.
“This time, you were lucky that nothing too serious happened to you.”
“What would happen if one day you meet an opponent who you cannot defeat, and you get hurt?”
“If that happens, it will break my heart!”
“Then I’ll become stronger!” Jiang Wan’er pouted and didn’t think much of it.
“Hmph, there’ll always be someone better than you. The stronger a person is, the more danger they will encounter!”
Jiang Ping’s words continued to pour out.
Jiang Wan’er saw that he had no intention of stopping and her big eyes rolled around.
She quickly changed the topic.
“Dad, the weather today is really good!”
“Don’t interrupt me. I’m not done yet.”
“Dad, you’ve been talking for so long. You must be thirsty!”
“Let me pour you a cup of water.”
After saying that, Jiang Wan’er walked and stood beside a stone table that was about her height.
Then, she stepped on a stone bench and poured a cup of tea.
She carefully brought it in front of Jiang Ping.
“Dad, be careful, it’s hot!”
Jiang Wan’er’s smiling eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
This smile extinguished Jiang Ping’s anger.
He sighed and reached out to take the tea.
He had no choice. He had such an adorable daughter.
He could not be ruthless even if he wanted to.
Jiang Ping took a sip of the tea and instructed Chen Zhong.
“Uncle Zhong, prepare the carriage and the generous gifts.”
Jiang Wan’er’s body trembled.
“Dad, where are you going?”
“It’s not just me. You’re coming with me to apologize to the Li family.” Jiang Ping pointed at Jiang Wan’er’s small head.
“No, I don’t want to!” Jiang Wan’er put her hands on her hips to protest.
In the end, Jiang Ping pulled her into his arms.
“You don’t have a choice!”
“Hmph, Dad, you’re such a coward!”
Jiang Wan’er struggled in her father’s arms for a while, but she really couldn’t break free.
She could only turn her head away and grunt.
Jiang Ping carried Jiang Wan’er out of the gate and into the carriage.
There was no other way. If he didn’t hug her a little tighter, she might have broken free and run away.
This girl was really a headache!
