Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"Okay, then I'll call you Gu Jia. How are you feeling now? Do you need to wait a while?"

"No, let's get in the car, it's much better now!"

"That's good. Go back and rest early. Let go of the unhappy things. Don't take them to heart. I will definitely give you a satisfactory result on this matter."

"Thank you, Lawyer Han!"

They chatted all the way, and soon the Black Leader No. 1 stopped at the Junyuefu community. However, just when Gu Jia was about to get off the car, she received a call from the nanny, Sister Chen. Gu Jia looked at the caller ID and directly pressed the answer button.

Chapter 171 Accompanying Gu Jia to Pick Up the Child

After Gu Jia's call was connected, the voice of the nanny, Sister Chen, came from the other side of the phone: "Jia Jia, are you guys coming back soon?"

"What's wrong, Sister Chen? Is Ziyan making a fuss looking for his mother?"

After checking the time, Gu Jia asked about the situation. She thought her son was making a fuss looking for his mother. After all, she usually went to pick up her son Xu Ziyan herself, but today she asked the nanny to pick him up because she had an appointment with Mr. Wan.

Hearing this, Sister Chen was a little surprised and asked, "Jia Jia, didn't you go to pick up Zi Yan?

When I went to pick up Ziyan from school today, Teacher Limi said that Ziyan had gone to a classmate's house to celebrate his birthday. She also said that Muzi's mother had sent a message to the parents' group. I thought you went to pick him up directly!

"Okay, I know Sister Chen, I was busy today and didn't have time to check the group messages on my phone!"

After saying that, Gu Jia hung up the phone and checked the parent group messages. At the same time, she felt a little anxious, fearing that her son would be scared without her by his side.

After browsing for a while, Gu Jia finally saw the group notification. When she learned that they were going to the home of President Muzi's mother, she felt even more uneasy.

She had recently had a conflict with Muzi's mother over the fact that Nannan, a classmate with epilepsy, dropped out of school. Muzi's mother also implicitly criticized her, saying that she only wanted to be in the spotlight and had not considered how Zi Yan would survive in the group. How could she not understand that Muzi's mother was warning her!

Seeing that Gu Jia was a little anxious, Han Tao smiled and asked about the situation: "What's wrong, Gu Jia, is there something wrong?

"Han Tao, could you please use your car to take me to Zi Yan's classmate's house?

Today, Zi Yan went to attend a classmate’s birthday party after school, but I had some unpleasantness with the child’s mother before, so I’m a little worried…”

"Tell me the address. Don't worry too much. They're all mothers, and there are so many other parents here. I don't think she would be stupid enough to hurt the child in public. At most, she would isolate Zi Yan. We just need to hurry over!"

After Gu Jia briefly introduced the situation, Han Tao asked her to send the address, and then told Wang Xudong to turn around and rush to Muzi's mother's house to pick up Xu Ziyan.

In fact, Han Tao was very puzzled when he saw this plot before. What kind of conditions do families have to have to be able to attend an aristocratic kindergarten like Depp's?

At the very least, she must be rich or noble, not to mention that Muzi's mother can become the chairman of the Parent-Teacher Association, so she must come from a very good family!

So how could Muzi's mother, who comes from a wealthy family and has extensive connections, be so foolish as to lock up Xu Ziyan in front of so many parents and children?

Even if she wanted to take revenge on Gu Jia, she wouldn't be stupid enough to let Gu Jia catch the child being locked up and crying. If she really did that, Muzi's mother would not be bad, but hopelessly stupid.

Unless there was some special situation, she would not have lost her mind and locked Xu Ziyan up.

On the way, Gu Jia took the initiative to tell Han Tao the cause of the conflict between her and Muzi's mother. Sure enough, it was because a child had an epileptic seizure in kindergarten and the children were frightened.

Muzi's mother was afraid of scaring the children, so she hoped that other parents would put pressure on the school to expel the child with epilepsy.

Gu Jia was against driving the child away. The two disagreed, and Gu Jia even stated in the group that epilepsy was not a contagious disease and she could accept it.

However, this action touched upon the interests of Muzi's mother, the chairperson of the parent committee, so a conflict arose between the two.

Hearing this, Han Tao nodded as if he didn't know, and asked about Muzi's mother's character and other situations. He also learned from Gu Jia that Muzi's mother had used her position as the chairman of the parent committee to accept bribes.

Soon, Yang Dongxu drove the car to the destination according to the navigation. Gu Jia, who was still very worried about her son, did not care about her manners anymore. She got out of the car and ran to the elevator with Han Tao, and pressed the button for the floor where Muzi's house was.

At this time, Muzi's mother had just locked Xu Ziyan in a bedroom to teach him a lesson because Xu Ziyan was clamoring to find his mother and, under her guidance, Muzi asked other classmates not to play with Xu Ziyan, which led to a quarrel between him and Muzi.

The reason why she asked Muzi to lead his classmates to isolate Xu Ziyan was to make it impossible for Xu Ziyan to stay in the kindergarten, so that he would drop out of school because of the inability to adapt.

The reason for doing this was because Gu Jia expressed her opinion directly in the group without discussing it with herself. This was the first time that there were opposing voices in the parents' group, so it was a challenge to her authority as the president.

Just when everyone was discussing how Gu Jia disregarded the collective interests and tried to be in the spotlight, the doorbell rang. Muzi's mother opened the door and saw that it was Gu Jia who came without calling in advance. She was a little nervous for a moment!

She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, because many of her children's classmates and parents would be coming today, so she greeted the security guard. Parents coming to her house only needed to register before entering, and there was no need to call for confirmation, so the security guard didn't get notified by her.

Seeing Muzi's mother opening the door, Gu Jia said politely: "Hello, Muzi's mother, I'm here to pick up Ziyan!"

"Oh!"

Muzi's mother said awkwardly because she had not prepared in advance and the child was locked up by herself:

"Why didn't you call in advance? I told you in the group chat that you should call in advance. And you were drinking. Aren't you afraid that the smell of alcohol might lead the children astray?"

After saying that, Muzi's mother raised her hand with pretended disgust and fanned it in front of her nose a few times, then turned around and motioned her and Han Tao to go in.

When Gu Jia heard her words, she felt a little embarrassed and awkward for a moment, and quickly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't check my phone, and something delayed me today. Sorry!"

"It's okay. I was just about to call you to ask when you'd pick up the child. Xu Ziyan is too unsociable and too noisy. You should take more time to educate the child!"

After saying that, Muzi's mother glanced at Han Tao behind Gu Jia with a subtle expression, her eyes full of gossip and scrutiny.

She had met Xu Ziyan's father, Xu Huanshan, at the school gate. Now Gu Jia brought a strange man to pick up the child, and he was drunk, so she was a little suspicious of their relationship.

However, considering that Xu Ziyan was still locked in the bedroom and he was the only one with the key, he planned to find some topic to delay time so that he could give the key to the nanny and let her open the door and let Xu Ziyan out.

But Gu Jia didn't give her the chance at all. She glanced around as soon as she entered the room. Logically, Zi Yan should have come running to find her when he saw her coming, but now there was no sign of her son in the living room.

So after confirming again and again, Gu Jia couldn't help but ask Muzi's mother: "Muzi's mother, where is Xu Ziyan?"

As soon as she said this, the mothers who were watching their children play quieted down. Some of them even avoided looking at each other. Only one mother was about to say something, but was stopped by another.

Muzi's mother also had an unnatural expression. She knew that if she said that she locked Xu Ziyan up because he was noisy, Gu Jia would definitely not let it go, so she pretended not to know:

"You were here just now, where have you gone now?"

Seeing this, the nanny quickly chimed in, "Yes, he was playing with everyone just now!"

As they were talking, they heard Xu Ziyan's shouting and knocking on the door coming from the direction of several bedrooms.

"let me out!"

"Let me out, I want to find my mother!"

"Bang, bang, bang, let me out..."

The sound was not obvious amid the noisy children's play, but now that it was quiet, the sound became clear, and the children knocking on the door and shouting at the same time were heartbreaking to hear.

…………

Chapter 172 Gu Jia's Anger

When Gu Jia heard Xu Ziyan's crying, she became even more anxious. She walked over quickly and checked each door one by one. Finally, she heard her son crying in a locked bedroom.

"Zi Yan, Mom is here. Don't be afraid. Mom will open the door for you right away!"

After trying to open the door several times without success, Gu Jia comforted her son, then turned to look at Muzi's mother who had followed and shouted, "Open the door!"

Seeing this, Muzi's mother could only open the door reluctantly, but she kept saying in her mouth:

"I noticed the bedroom door wasn't closed, and if it was closed, it would have been locked. How did this kid get in here on his own? He's barging in without any rules!"

Gu Jia didn't say anything. She couldn't care about anything else at this moment. She quickly squatted down and comforted Xu Ziyan.

When Xu Ziyan saw Gu Jia, he threw himself into her arms and cried, "Mom, I keep knocking on the door, but I can't get out!"

"Mrs. Xu, your son Xu Ziyan has been making a lot of noise since he came here. He won't play with the other children and almost bit Muzi and other classmates. Isn't he a little too unsociable? It's almost like he has autism!"

A parent who was dressed in green and usually liked to flatter Muzi's mother was now helping Muzi's mother to file a complaint first.

At this time, Xu Ziyan sobbed and choked, "Mom, I don't want to play with them anymore. I don't want to go to kindergarten anymore!"

Hearing this, Gu Jia glanced at Mu Zi's mother and the woman in green. She didn't believe what they said. Doesn't she know Xu Zi Yan's character as a mother herself?

However, the most urgent thing was to comfort her son, so she ignored them for the time being and said softly to Xu Ziyan:

"Okay, okay, Mommy gets it. Let's not play with them anymore. Mommy will take you home, okay?"

"Yeah, okay... okay!"

Seeing Xu Ziyan nod, Gu Jia picked up Xu Ziyan and walked towards the door.

Seeing Han Tao holding his phone and standing behind Muzi and her mother, Gu Jia hurriedly carried Xu Ziyan to the living room, then put him next to Han Tao, squatted down, touched Xu Ziyan's head, and said:

"Zi Yan, wait for mom here for a while. Mom will be back soon, okay?"

After that, she pointed at Han Tao and said, "This is Uncle Han Tao, mom's friend, he's a lawyer!

Just like the policeman, who can send bad guys to the police station, he will protect you for a while on behalf of your mother. Your mother will come and take you home soon!"

When Xu Ziyan saw his mother handing him over to an uncle, he wanted to cry, but when he heard that Han Tao was almost like a policeman who could catch bad guys, he was no longer afraid.

He looked up and saw Han Tao, tall and majestic, smiling at him. He nodded and said through sobs, "Okay, I'll listen to Mom!"

"Well, Ziyan is such a good boy who listens to his mother. Don't be afraid, uncle will hold you!"

As he spoke, Han Tao picked up Xu Ziyan with one hand and wiped his snot and tears with a tissue.

Seeing that Han Tao didn't mind Xu Ziyan's tears and snot, and Xu Ziyan was very well behaved and let Han Tao hold him, Gu Jia felt relieved.

She just wanted to seek justice for her son, so she turned around and took off her high heels, then took off her watch and threw it on the table beside her, intending to teach Muzi's mother and the woman in green a lesson.

Seeing her actions, Muzi's mother couldn't help but asked in fear: "Gu Jia, what do you want to do?"

Without saying a word, Gu Jia slapped Mu Zi twice, and then planned to drag Mu Zi's mother and the woman in green clothes into the bedroom for a fight.

Many people think that it is unrealistic for Gu Jia to fight two people alone with such a slim figure and not be at a disadvantage, but it is not impossible. After all, Gu Jia insists on exercising every day, including yoga, taekwondo and other sports.

Moreover, when people are extremely angry, frightened, or afraid, the body's hormone secretion will change rapidly. I believe that a mother who sees her child being bullied will definitely have her adrenaline soar to a level many times higher than usual.

Of course, the two evil rich ladies probably didn't guess that Gu Jia would dare to hit someone directly. They didn't react for a while, and when they reacted, they had already been slapped in the face by someone.

This frightened Muzi's mother and the woman in green clothes. They shouted that Gu Jia should be punished and that Xu Ziyan should be kicked out of the kindergarten.

Han Tao originally thought that with his participation, the plot would not follow the original direction. He thought that Gu Jia would rationally find Mu Zi's mother to argue with her and would no longer choose violence to solve the problem.

Although he understood Gu Jia's feelings of sympathy for the child, it was understandable that she chose to push the other person into the room and beat him up without saying a word in anger.

But the situation is different now. Violence is not the best way to solve problems. Sometimes it not only fails to solve the problem, but also makes things bigger and more complicated.

It will also make children think that they can use violence to solve problems when they encounter problems, but if they encounter someone they cannot beat, they will become more cowardly. Therefore, when they encounter illegal infringement, they can seek legal weapons to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

Fortunately, Gu Jia just wanted to teach the two of them a lesson and did not lose her mind, so she did not hit them too hard and did not cause any minor injuries. In addition, with her there, the most she had to do was pay compensation.

Therefore, Han Tao put Xu Ziyan down and asked him to wait for him. Then he took two steps forward, grabbed Gu Jia, and said softly:

"Gu Jia, don't scare the child. We are in the right now, so just teach him a lesson. Don't make things too embarrassing.

Their behavior has violated the law. We can report it to the police or directly file a lawsuit in court."

After saying this, without waiting for Gu Jia to express her opinion, Han Tao looked directly at Mu Zi's mother and the woman in green, who were covering their faces and clamoring to call the police for a medical examination, and continued:

"Ladies, without the consent of Ziyan's legal guardian, my client, Ms. Gu Jia, and other guardians, you brought him here under the pretext of attending a class reunion, took him out of his parents' care, and locked him in a room alone. You ignored his calls for help and restricted his freedom. Your actions constitute illegal detention.

According to Article 238 of my country's Criminal Law, anyone who illegally detains another person or illegally deprives another person of their personal freedom by other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, controlled release, or deprivation of political rights. If there is also assault or insult, the punishment shall be even more severe.

Muzi's mother was a little confused when she heard Han Tao's words. She had never considered this issue from the perspective of breaking the law since then. She felt from the bottom of her heart that this was not a big deal, so she said without thinking:

"Why? Now she's the one hitting people. Besides, I sent a notice to the parents' group. It's her fault that Gu Jia didn't read it. She didn't object anyway.

Besides, I didn’t intend to lock up Xu Ziyan. It was he who kept making a fuss for his mother, so that the other children couldn’t play peacefully.

He was also having a big fight with some other kids, so I asked him to go somewhere to calm down, and you guys showed up within a few minutes!"

"In that case, your previous claim that Zi Yan locked himself up is no longer true!

This makes the matter very clear. Even if Xu Ziyan's solitary confinement was short and the offense was minor, this situation still violates Article 40 of my country's Public Security Punishment Management Law. He should be detained for a period of not less than ten days but not more than fifteen days and fined not less than five hundred yuan but not more than one thousand yuan!

"This...I...I didn't mean it!"

Han Tao's well-reasoned and well-planned actions left Muzi's mother completely speechless. She was only afraid and didn't know what to do for a while.

After hearing what Han Tao said, the other parents looked at each other in bewilderment. They felt that Mu Zi's mother was in trouble. If Gu Jia really pursued the matter, not only would Mu Zi's mother not be able to be released by the chairman of the Parent-Teacher Association, she might even face detention. So they all said goodbye and left with their children.

"Gu Jia, the child has been through such a big shock, you should go back and rest early. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else!

But don't worry, I've already saved the audio evidence. She'll receive a lawyer's letter tomorrow morning. The initiative is in your hands. You will definitely seek justice for Ziyan!"

After saying that, Han Tao carried Xu Ziyan out, while Gu Jia put on her shoes, put on her watch, picked up her bag, and said to Muzi's mother:

"Today's matter is not over yet. If you don't want to go to jail, then publicly apologize to Zi Yan in front of all the parents and make compensation. Otherwise, I will let you know how terrible a mother's anger is!

Don’t you care most about being the chairman of the PTA? Not only will I prevent you from being the chairman, I will also make you get out of the kindergarten!”

After saying that, Gu Jia bumped Muzi's mother with her shoulder. She was caught off guard and took several steps back, hitting her head on a chair, causing her to grimace in pain.

Although Gu Jia felt that she didn't beat Muzi's mother violently, she was a little puzzled.
