Cheng Xi wanted to go over and pacify the little girl, but Mr. Liu blocked her. He quickly pushed the child behind him and said, “Sorry for the bother, our child was speaking nonsense. If there isn’t anything else, then we’ll be leaving.”

“Mr. Liu,” Cheng Xi said in an attempt to stop him. “Your behavior makes me suspect that you’re related to Chen Jiaman’s bullying incident.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu, who had wanted to walk around Cheng Xi, stopped short, glanced at his wife to instruct her to leave with their child first, and stayed behind to look at Cheng Xi. “What do you mean, related? As a lawyer, aren’t you aware that libel is a crime?”

“Pardon me, but I’m not accusing you. I’m just saying that your actions could potentially spur misunderstandings.”

“Misunderstandings? What misunderstandings?” Mr. Liu completely dropped his warm and caring demeanor, and spoke fiercely. “Just based on what a little child said?”

“Children’s words can indeed serve as evidence in court, as long as their words are logical.”

“Then why don’t you have her go to court? If we hide her away, what can you do?” And with those words, Mr. Liu turned around and left in a hurry.
