After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1370 - 1369: Xia Chuyi’s Culinary Journey to Conquer the World
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
After grasping the implication behind Huo Shiqian's statements, the father of the golden retriever looked towards Huo Shiqian with disbelief. "What, what did you just say? You expect me to apologize to this little child?" He stared with wide eyes, a clear sense of being insulted washing over him.
Huo Shiqian maintained a calm demeanor, his gaze steady as he addressed the golden retriever's father. "The target of the verbal abuse and physical bullying was my son. Therefore, shouldn't the apology be directed towards him?"
The father of the golden retriever found himself rendered speechless by Huo Shiqian's words.
Councilman William's mouth also twitched upon hearing this exchange.
In this particular situation, Huo Shiqian proved to be a considerably tougher opponent than Xia Chuyi. Councilman William felt he had gained a new perspective on the Chinese people.
To insist on an apology from the golden retriever's father to a mere three-year-old, specifically a Chinese three-year-old, truly underscored the notion that Chinese people were not to be trifled with.
Councilman William made a mental note to temper his usual arrogance and ensure closer cooperation with Huo Shiqian and his associates moving forward.
He didn't want to find himself on their bad side one day.
"Apologize for what?" The father of the golden retriever finally voiced his indignation. "I didn't do anything in the first place, and you have no proof. Even if you take me to the police station, would our country's police really punish me for you annoying Asians? I..."
However, before the golden retriever's father could finish his sentence, a voice called out from behind.
"Annoying Asians?" The voice belonged to Mr. Rayne, the young leader of the overseas Bao Family, who spoke coldly as he strode briskly towards the group. He was accompanied by his assistant, other members of his entourage, and Emily.
"Hey, you've gone way too far!" Emily exclaimed as she approached, placing her hands on her hips. She sternly criticized the father of the golden retriever. "This is outright racial discrimination. You say they have no evidence? My ears are the evidence!"
"Call the police, we absolutely must call the police!" Emily declared with firm resolve, her anger evident.
Upon hearing this, Councilman William realized the situation was escalating and unlikely to be easily resolved.
"Miss Emily, please don't worry. I have already dispatched my people to contact the police," William stated, offering a strained smile to Emily as he tried to convey his commitment to the matter.
Emily glanced at William's staff members, who had just begun to move away, and then looked back at him. "Hmm, Councilman William, do your staff members seem to have trouble with their legs?"
Being so directly called out by Emily, William felt a flush of embarrassment.
Shortly after, police officers patrolling nearby arrived and took the father of the golden retriever away.
With the father of the golden retriever gone, Emily warmly embraced Xia Chuyi. "Hey, Xia, it's been too long!"
After the hug, Emily earnestly promised, "Don't worry, Xia. Rayne and I will stand up for you, no matter what!"
"Thank you," Xia Chuyi replied with a smile, appreciating Emily's words.
While Emily's actions and words could occasionally be rather unpredictable.
There was no doubt that Emily held no genuine racial prejudice.
Therefore, Xia Chuyi's overall impression of Emily remained quite positive.
"Oh, is this your husband and your baby?" Emily's eyes lit up as she noticed Huo Shiwu nestled in Huo Shiqian's arms.
"Oh, your baby is so lovely, just like an angel!" Emily happily praised little Huo Shiwu.
Emily then extended her hand towards Huo Shiwu, her voice filled with anticipation. "Xia, may I hold the little angel?"
