The child cried until his voice was hoarse and could not speak.

Beside him, a child softly said, “Longlong gave his water gun toy to Zhouzhou and Zhouzhou accidentally hit...” Saying that he glanced somewhat fearfully at a nearby child.

Everyone also looked over.

They saw that the child was standing alone on the grass and maintained a few steps of distance away from the other children, looking out of place. His face was cold and he looked arrogant. He had a serious expression and kept his mouth shut. It was Li Rui.

The children seemed to be a little afraid of him. Those who were timid took a few steps back.

“Xiao Rui, what’s wrong?” It was Li Lei’s voice. In this scenario, everyone knew that Li Rui was involved in this situation, so he had no choice but to ask him.

Li Rui’s answer was very simple. “He wet my clothes, so I destroyed his toy.”

Once he spoke, that child cried even louder.

The children beside him could not stand it and indignantly added, “Not only did he destroy the toy, but he also hit Zhouzhou.”

The crowd finally realized that the crying child had a large bruise in the corner of his eye and his body was covered in broken leaves. Li Lei had a headache. Xiao Rui grew up in the Li Family headquarters and usually played with guns with the subordinates. From a young age, he already developed a solid foundation for fighting, and because he was used to fighting with people in the family, he did not think that this sort of trouble was a big deal.

However, the child called Zhouzhou looked as if his whole world had collapsed.

Li Lei said to Li Rui, “Apologize to Zhouzhou.”

Everyone looked at Li Rui. Some adults even looked disappointed. This child had blood relations with the Li Family, so why was his upbringing so terrible? The upbringing of the Li Family was really worrying.

In reality, they had all wronged Li Lei. This child was not blood-related to him at all, and as Li Lei felt very guilty towards Su Tang, he left Li Rui’s upbringing entirely to Su Tang and never interfered. That was why Li Rui grew up to be like this.

Luckily, Li Rui was quite obedient in front of Li Lei.

Li Hui saw that Li Lei’s expression was serious. Although he was unwilling, he said to Zhouzhou, “I’m sorry.” There was a natural arrogance in his tone as if he was naturally superior to him.

Zhouzhou continued to cry.

His parents consoled him. “Zhouzhou, don’t cry. Xiao Rui has already apologized to you.”

No matter how arrogant Li Rui was, he was Li Lei’s only son. In front of everyone, no one had more wealth or power compared to Li Lei, so no one wished to offend him.

Thus, Zhouzhou’s parents could only tolerate their anger.

“I’m really sorry.” However, Li Lei was reasonable and said to Zhouzhou’s parents, “Later, I will ask my family’s doctor to give your child a check up and prescribe some medicine for him. Xiao Rui just returned back to China and is still not used to life here. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Since Second Young Master Li was so polite, who would dare to take it to heart?

Zhouzhou’s parents thanked him.

Zhouzhou whimpered. On one hand, he was afraid of Li Rui. On the other hand, after realizing that the adults were no longer supporting him, he stopped crying.

Another child, Longlong, knelt down to pick up the broken toy pieces on the floor.

The water gun toy that was destroyed by Li Rui was still lying quietly on the lawn.

“That was Longlong’s favorite toy.” A child said in a small voice.

“Uncle will buy you another one, ok?” Li Lei gently said to Longlong.

Longlong shook his head a little reluctantly.

Beside him, a child who looked like he was very close to Longlong helped him explain. “This was a birthday present that Longlong received from his grandma.”

Li Lei was met with some difficulty. The significance of a birthday present was unique. If this child insisted on not buying a new replacement, what should he do? “Xiao Rui.” Li Lei called Li Rui over. Although he didn’t care much about this child, he did not wish for this child to be irresponsible after causing trouble. He knew that Li Rui was very good at fixing guns. Repairing this destroyed toy was not a difficult task for him.

Li Rui was very smart. Once Li Lei called him, he understood his father’s intentions.

However, he refused to give in. Even if he were to help Longlong repair the toy, he wanted Longlong to beg him. He arrogantly lifted his chin and asked, “If you beg me, I can consider helping you put it back in place.”

However, Longlong was not easily taken advantage of. All of the children present were the pride of their families, and at home, they lived in luxury and were pampered as they grew up. Who would like begging someone for help?

Longlong refused to say anything.

The situation reached a stalemate.

At this time, a small child suddenly appeared. He struggled to enter the crowd with his short arms and legs. It was Shaohui! Just now when conflict broke up among the children, he was nowhere to be seen, but now that the conflict was almost settled, he was late to the scene. There were many broken grass leaves in his hair, and he was carrying a toy bear.

Xia Ling really wanted to ask him where he had been, but after looking briefly, she couldn’t look straight at him.

Behind him, a few beautiful girls followed. They were holding toys as they curiously squeezed into the crowd. She guessed that when the boys were having a water gun fight, Shaohui ran to mix around with the girls.

Xia Ling seriously asked herself if she had raised her child the wrong way.

Before she could figure out the answer to her question, Shaohui already asked in an incoherent voice, “What is it?” He looked very cute and smiled easily. He naturally had a soft heart and got along well with others, so the children all really liked him. Hearing him, a few children immediately told him what had happened.

“Longlong, do you want the water gun pieced back together?” Shaohui said unclearly.

Longlong nodded. He was still a little hurt. Could it be that begging Li Rui was the only way out?

Just as he was thinking about this difficult decision, Shaohui bent down and fiddled with the fragments of the water gun on the ground. After a while, he actually managed to repair the water gun.

Everyone was shocked, and even Li Rui looked at him in disbelief.

Everyone present was from an eminent family, and the toys they bought for their children were of high quality. The structure of the water gun was complex, ordinary children could not perfectly repair it. However, on the surface, it appeared that Shaohui really did it as the gun did look almost as good as new.

However, Li Rui questioned disdainfully, “Who knows if it can still be used?”

As if to reply him, Shaohui pressed the trigger and some residual water was sprayed out. Obviously, the gun’s function had been restored as well.

Shaohui lifted his head and looked at Li Rui. “What did you just say?”
