Turning his face, his blue eyes fell on Jerry like blades, and even adults would feel a chill down their spine and trepidation at such a look, let alone a child like Jerry.
Confronted with Huangfu Jue’s murderous gaze, Jerry had no time to cry, only to be frightened into a panic, with every hair on end as he shrank back behind his mother.
In his pride, Huangfu Jue would hardly deign to pay attention to a woman, ignoring Anna, his glance fell directly onto Jerry’s father Mr. Rod’s face.
"Mr. Rod!" Calling out the Ambassador’s name, Huangfu Jue’s choice of words still maintained the elegance befitting a noble, but his voice had long turned cold as a frosted blade, "Is this how you discipline your son?"
With that question, came many implied meanings, and Rod didn’t need to think twice to know them.
The Ambassador’s face turned ashen in an instant.
As the Ambassador of F Country, he did not care about Qiao Liang’s identity—it was just a rich second generation. He could provoke him. Thus, when Qiao Liang spoke up for Gan Yuan, Rod’s face also darkened.
He had never expected Huangfu Jue to speak up for Gan Tang.
F Country was recently striving to gain the support of A Country to cope with the other countries always eyeing F Country with covetous looks. The negotiations had just begun to make progress, and if this matter was not handled properly, it stood a high risk of turning into a political incident.
Remember, this man was the future heir to A Country’s throne, his attitude also represented that of A Country.
To offend Huangfu Jue meant to offend A Country, and the consequences may very well be that his own nation would lose the support of A Country. If this incident was caused by him, his future would be bleak.
Having climbed to the position of an Ambassador with much difficulty, Mr. Rod certainly would not allow his entire future to be ruined over a matter of his son getting into a fight.
"Duke, I truly apologise." Rod’s expression of anger instantly transformed into one of appeasement. The man who had been ready to confront Qiao Liang fiercely like a lion was now as meek as a tail-wagging house cat, "Regarding today’s matter, it is all due to my lack of discipline. After we return, I will surely teach this brat a good lesson!"
Annie was busy catching hold of Jerry’s arm behind Anna, "Jerry, won’t you apologize to the little brother?"
"Who is his little brother?!" Gan Tang responded with disdain, "Do not insult me."
In the crowd, someone chuckled, though the laughter was suppressed.
But there was one person who did not suppress it at all.
That person was Qiao Liang.
"Ha..." laughing out loud without restraint, Qiao Liang echoed, "Exactly, how could our Xiaotang have an idiot brother like you?"
What nonsense about an Ambassador—he wasn’t even afraid of offending Huangfu Jue, let alone Rod.
"I’m sorry." Annie smiled awkwardly, forcefully pulled Jerry out from behind his sister, and when she spoke again, her voice had taken on a stern note, "Jerry, apologize now!"
A child spoiled from a young age, having to apologize after being hit, Jerry naturally didn’t take it well and again hid behind his mother. As his mother, Anna naturally was protective of her calf and quickly put on a smiling face to appease.
"This child already knows his mistake, rest assured, I will definitely discipline him properly when we return."
Huangfu Jue spoke again, "My principle is to correct errors on the spot."
The long-awaited good afternoon arrived unexpectedly, ha~!
