Chapter 303 - Ning Zhi was just now noticing that the little boy had a slight limp (3)
Edited by: Lulu

Even through the window, Ning Zhi could tell how hard the man was hitting the boy. Plus, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had seen the man somewhere before. 

“Oh my god. What kind of a parent is that? How could he hit the boy so hard?” Fang Yuzhou saw what was going on outside as well, and her heart ached. “Besides, whatever the problem is, couldn’t he wait until they are home before he explains it to the child?”

“You are right about that.” Wei Xing nodded and agreed with his girlfriend. “Kids have self-esteem too. It’s not good for kids to be hit in public like that.”

Fang Yuzhou’s heart ached when she saw the kid letting the adult hit him like that with his head lowered. He did not cry or fuzz. “How could that man bring himself to do that? The kid is so young. Why isn’t anyone going up to them to try and stop him?”

“Zhizhi eat.” Lu Jue did not look outside. Ning Zhi was all that he could see. 

He learned carefully and picked up the bones in the fish one by one. He was slow, but he did his task seriously. The white flesh of the fish inside the little ceramic bowl had no bones at all. Under the bright light of the restaurant, it looked very tempting. 

After Lu Jue was done picking out all the bones and placing the fish next to Ning Zhi, he looked at her with anticipation, waiting for her compliments. 

At this time, the man outside grabbed the back of the little boy’s collar roughly. He was so forceful that the little boy took a few steps backward and almost fell onto the ground. 

When the little boy looked up, Ning Zhi saw his face clearly, and she was taken aback a little. It was the same little boy that she had run into during the fire at the hotel!

Even though the boy was one year older by now, she could tell that it was him right away. 

She didn’t think that she would run into him here. Ning Zhi looked at the man next to him. He was the little boy’s father. No wonder she thought he looked familiar. 

Just like how it was before, whenever something happened, the first thing the man did was to hit the boy. 

That upset Ning Zhi. 

Not getting Ning Zhi’s response, Lu Jue leaned toward her and looked in the direction that she was looking at. He happened to see the little boy’s face. 

The very next second, he saw the middle-aged man raise his hand and slap the little boy hard. 

The little boy’s fair and soft cheek turned red instantly. The handprint on his face was obvious. 

Lu Jue’s lips were pinched shut tightly as he glared at the middle-aged man. 

Ning Zhi could sense the change in Lu Jue. Turning to look at him, she saw 5 little black clouds with lightning popping out in the indicator over Lu Jue’s head. 

He was very, very, very, very, very angry!

Ning Zhi was a little surprised. It would seem that Lu Jue had recognized the little boy as well. 

Lu Jue was not like her. She had just traveled back yesterday and met the little boy. As such, their meeting was still fresh in her memory. To Lu Jue, however, the incident had happened over a year ago. 

She didn’t think that he would still remember the little boy. 

When she thought about it some more, however, Lu Jue recognizing the boy made a lot of sense since he was the one who saved the little boy. 

Ning Zhi placed her hand over his. “Do you want to go help him?”

Lu Jue blinked. He saw that the little boy was struck again. He nodded. “Yes help.”

“Alright, let’s go help him.” Ning Zhi stood up and said to Fang Yuzhou and Wei Xing, “We will be right back.”

Fang Yuzhou had overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Zhizhi, are you going to help that little boy?”

“Yes. Lu Jue and I had seen that little boy before. We sort of know him.”

“I’ll go with you.” Fang Yuzhou’s fists had hardened a while back when she saw the man keep hitting the little boy. 

The boy was so young. What did he know? What kind of scum would hit a child the way that he did? He shouldn’t do that, even if he was the parent. This was child abuse. 

“It’s alright. We will be back soon. You should start with the food.” Ning Zhi left, holding Lu Jue’s hand in hers.
