Chapter 1247 Apologies and Compensation Xiao Mingshan was an influential figure in City F, but there were still a lot of people who were more important than him, so he came in person in case he offended someone he shouldn't mess with. He was the same type of person as Mr. Yang, who yielded in front of those who were more powerful than him. If Gu Ning was more powerful than him, he would apologize and pay the compensation. However, if Tao Jiayi didn't have powerful support, he would simply send his secretary to deal with this problem. In fact, Xiao Mingshan was annoyed at his daughter's inappropriate behavior and he also warned his daughter not to bully other students again. Surprisingly, when Xiao Mingshan's sight fell on Gu Ning, he looked shocked. "M-Miss Gu?" It was obvious that he knew Gu Ning. Gu Ning stood up and stared at Xiao Mingshan. "Hi, Chairman Xiao." It turned out that Gu Ning and Chairman Xiao had met each other before at the birthday party held by the Su family before. "Miss Gu, what a surprise!" Xiao Mingshan said. He was very polite towards Gu Ning because Gu Ning had much more powerful connections than him. Ms. Yan and Mr. Wang were amazed by Xiao Mingshan's attitude towards Gu Ning. They were even more curious to find out Gu Ning's family background now. "I'm afraid it isn't a pleasant meeting this time," Gu Ning said. Hearing that, Xiao Mingshan felt embarrassed. He understood that Gu Ning came here to support Tao Jiayi today, while his daughter had bullied Tao Jiayi. Since Gu Ning came here in person, he had to apologize to them. "I'm so sorry for what my daughter did to Tao Jiayi. Miss Gu and Tao Jiayi's mother, please accept my sincere apologies. We won't abdicate the responsibility, and I'll tell my daughter to apologize to Tao Jiayi face to face." Xiao Mingshan took it very seriously, and he promised that it wouldn't happen again. Mr. Yang wasn't surprised by Xiao Mingshan's attitude because he knew how influential Gu Ning was. Ms. Yan and Mr. Wang, however, were greatly surprised. Although they already had a feeling that Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl, they thought that Xiao Mingshan apologized too fast and without arguing at all. Even Zhang Qiuhua who knew that Gu Ning could handle it well was surprised. Xiao Mingshan's daughter was Xiao Beibei, and she was scared of her father. Even though she was unwilling to apologize to Tao Jiayi, she didn't dare to behave against her father. Zhang Qiuhua stood up at this time. "Chairman Xiao, since you're willing to apologize and pay the compensation, I don't think we still need to argue about it, but I still hope that you can have a look at my daughter's injury report. I'm afraid that what your daughter has done to my daughter might leave a scar in my daughter's heart." Xiao Mingshan had heard of Tao Jiayi's injuries from Mr. Wang, but he still took the injury report out of politeness. He definitely did that for Gu Ning's sake. When Xiao Mingshan read the report, he was displeased again, because the injuries were all caused by his daughter. As for the medical fee, it was nothing in Xiao Mingshan's eyes. "Mrs. Tao, can I visit your daughter someday?" Xiao Mingshan asked Zhang Qiuhua. He thought that it would be better if he visited Tao Jiayi in person. "Sure, my daughter is recovering at home now," Zhang Qiuhua said. In that case, this problem was perfectly solved without causing any more trouble or argument, so it wasn't necessary for Gu Ning to play the surveillance camera K gave her. They said good-bye to Mr. Yang later and left together. Once they were gone, Ms. Yan asked Mr. Yang with curiosity, "Is the girl very influential? Why is Chairman Xiao afraid of her?" "Gu Ning is much more influential than you can imagine…" Mr. Yang then told them what he knew about Gu Ning. "Jesus, she's so unbelievable!" "I don't know what to say right now." … Xiao Mingshan's car was parked outside the school, so they walked out together. They soon arrived at the parking lot, and drove towards Zhang Qiuhua's home. On the way, Xiao Mingshan told Xiao Beibei to be polite and kind to Tao Jiayi when she apologized to her. Xiao Beibei pouted with annoyance, but she had to listen to her father. Gu Ning, at the same time, told Zhang Qiuhua to inform Tao Jiayi with a call. After taking the pill Gu Ning gave her, Tao Jiayi was much better now, but she still needed to pretend to be injured and lie in her bed when Xiao Beibei and Xiao Mingshan came. It was because of Gu Ning's magical pills that Tao Jiayi could recover now, so it was understandable that Gu Ning told her to act a little right now. If Xiao Mingshan saw Tao Jiayi well and fine after only a day, he would think that they were lying to him.
