Qiu Tong frowned. She had never seen him before.
"It's just a conflict between children. Why should it escalate to a fight between adults?"
The person's tone was polite and distant, but it was filled with an indisputable tone. "And it was indeed you who insulted them first. You should apologize."
The fat parent was about to curse when she got a glimpse of the military rank on the man's shoulder from the corner of her eye. She shuddered in fear.
This was a second lieutenant!
Her mind immediately cleared up and she forced a smile. "Sir, you are right. We'll leave immediately."
"Apologize."
The second lieutenant commanded in a low voice. No matter how unwilling the fat parent was, she had no choice but to humble herself. Swallowing her anger, she said, "I'm sorry." She then slunk away with her fat son.
Qiu Tong raised an eyebrow, confused by this sudden change in attitude.
