"He was beaten like this after twenty strokes. It's obvious that he was heavy-handed on purpose." Ji Chifeng said.
Yao Huiqin sat next to them and was so distressed that he shed tears.
Shuxin frowned. Her face was full of sadness, but she said, "It's his fault for being so impulsive. It's good to give him a beating so that he can remember."
"It's none of your business!"
Huo Jibai turned to glare at Shuxin. He swallowed the last two words when he saw Huo Yanqing's cold and straight back by the window.
Ji Chifeng treated the wound and said as he packed the medical kit, "Be careful not to touch water. Lie in bed and rest for the next few days. Don't run around. The weather is hot and the wound might get infected."
Huo Jibai pressed his head into the pillow and turned his face to the bed. "Okay."
When they returned to the Huo Corporation in the afternoon, Huo Yanqing held a shareholders' meeting and told them about Huo Jianzhang's manipulation of the Huo Corporation's shares. Then, he cleared Shuxin's name and said that she had put on a show to provoke Huo Jianzhang into giving himself away that day.
The shareholders' faces changed completely. Previously, they had said that Shuxin was a vixen who would ruin the reputation of the Huo Corporation and that Huo Yanqing was not worthy of her. Now, they all smiled and congratulated Huo Yanqing for finding a good wife. They praised Shuxin for being beautiful, virtuous, intelligent and the best choice for the president's wife.
…
After work, Shuxin and Huo Yanqing went back to the Shu family's house.
Shuxin told Shu Youkang about what happened at the engagement party. Shu Youkang nodded, but his frown deepened. They had just gotten engaged and they had already caused so much trouble. Shu Youkang prayed that Shuxin would be safe and happy in the future.
After dinner, Shu Youkang called Shuxin to the study upstairs. Cao Guifang and Huo Yanqing sat on the sofa and chatted. Shu Youkang was respectful and afraid of Huo Yanqing, but Cao Guifang was not. She completely treated Huo Yanqing as her grandson-in-law. In addition, Huo Yanqing deliberately lowered his attitude, so they chatted happily.
Upstairs in the study
Shuxin stood in front of the bookshelf and helped Shu Youkang tidy up the bookshelf. She sorted out the messy books neatly and did not hear Shu Youkang speak for a long time. She turned around and glanced at Shu Youkang who was sitting on the sofa, deep in thought. "Dad, didn't you say that you had something to say to me?"
Shu Youkang raised his head and looked at Shuxin's slender back. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I want to bring Ling 'er back. Do you agree?"
Shuxin paused in the middle of tidying up the books. When she heard Shu Youkang's words, she was very unhappy. In her previous life, Shu Mengling had swapped her heart and caused her to die of anger. In this life, he had done many bad things to her.
It could be said that Shu Xin hated Xiao Ruize and Shu Mengling to the bone. Even killing them wouldn't be able to vent her hatred. However, she finally had the chance to be reborn. She didn't want her life to be blinded by hatred, and she didn't want to waste her precious time on such scum because they didn't deserve it.
Shu Youkang saw that Shuxin did not speak and continued, "Ever since Ling 'er left the Shu family, I have never asked how she is doing. She has done too many things to let you down. I am unable to forgive her.
However, at the engagement party, I found out from Zhang Ping that Ling 'er actually … You are sisters after all. Her behavior is not good. Not only will she bring shame to the Shu family, but she will also have a bad influence on you.
I went to see her this morning. She knelt in front of me and cried bitterly. She admitted her mistakes and blamed me.
