C94

The previously noisy place was suddenly turned silent, as everyone looked towards Lou Shaotang.

Lou Shaotang was walking quickly towards us. His face was covered with dark clouds, and even though I was a few meters away from him, I could still feel the anger he was emitting.

How could he not be angry? I lost his child.

Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth curled up in a mocking smile.

However, Lou Shaotang didn't take my pride seriously at all. He expressionlessly looked away and walked in front of the old man. "Grandfather, child …"

"Shao Tang!" The moment Lou Shaotang opened his mouth, Shen Yiru immediately snapped him, and his tone was extremely sharp, "You are not clear about this matter, so don't interrupt!"

Lou Shaotang glanced at her and furrowed his brows slightly. Then, he continued to speak to the old man. "Grandfather, this child …"

"Pa ~ ~ ~"

A resounding slap landed on Lou Shaotang's face, successfully interrupting what he was about to say.

Everyone was shocked as they looked at Shen Yiru in disbelief.

Who didn't know that Lou Shaotang only cared about Shen Yiru's life? Since young, she had never been willing to even lift a single finger, and hadn't even said a single heavy sentence. But just now, not only did she talk to him in such a fierce manner, she even beat him up now.

Shen Yiru probably did not expect that she would hit Lou Shaotang either. She stared at her red hands in a daze, unable to recover from her shock.

I had also widened my eyes from the shock. I didn't understand why Shen Yiru reacted so violently. Did she think Lou Shaotang wanted to plead for me? But even so, there was no need to hit him.

I looked at Lou Shaotang. Honestly speaking, when Shen Yiru's palm landed on his face, my heart also fiercely trembled as if that palm was hitting me.

Other than the five bright red finger marks on his face, his expression hadn't changed at all. It seemed to be even calmer than before. I couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

At this moment, everyone seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and didn't speak. They all looked at the lordmaster, waiting to see how he would react.

The old man's face was extremely tight and his expression was extremely ugly. Very clearly, he was angry because of Shen Yiru, but he did his best to restrain himself.

"Shao Tang, what did you just say?" After a long while, the old man slowly asked Lou Shaotang.

At this time, Shen Yiru had already awoken from her shock.

"Shao Tang." She called Lou Shaotang, his voice no longer filled with the powerful aura from before, it sounded somewhat mournful.

She stared at him, her expression nervous, her eyes pleading.

Lou Shaotang looked back at her for a moment, then slightly raised his head and closed his eyes to take a deep breath. He clenched his fists by his side, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and his joints had all turned white.

Shen Yiru just wanted him to not plead for me. No matter how I look at it, it was as if he was making a very difficult decision.

Not long after, Lou Shaotang opened his eyes again and looked at me. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, and I couldn't see it clearly. I could only see his Adam's apple roll a few times, and his grave face turned dark.

After a few seconds of silence, he slowly loosened his fist and turned to look at the old man. "Nothing." He said, his voice very light, "Grandfather, you are the head of the family, this matter will be decided by you, I have no objections."

The old man stared at Lou Shaotang for two seconds and nodded, "Ok."

I heard Shen Yiru exhale heavily, as if she was relieved from a burden.

At this moment, I was the complete opposite of her. Even though I had already guessed that the outcome wouldn't change, but for some reason, when I heard Lou Shaotang personally tell the old man to punish me, it was as if I fell into an ice cellar, cold enough to break my bones from head to toe.

I stood there in a daze, staring straight at Lou Shaotang, but he didn't look at me, but instead turned his face towards the horizon outside the window, his expression was as indifferent and indifferent as ever.

The butler and servant had already received their old man's orders and came forward to tie me up. Seeing that, Qiao Chenfei anxiously pleaded for mercy on my behalf: "Grandfather, Xiao Ying did not do it on purpose, please forgive her this time."

With that, he immediately scolded Lou Shaotang in anger: "Lou Shaotang, are you f * * king still human? Xiao Ying is a woman, how can she stand the laws of the family?!"

Hearing Qiao Chenfei's curses, Lou Shaotang turned and looked at him.

Seeing the corner of his eyes twitch violently, his hand clenching into a fist once again, and his thin lips curled into a straight line, I knew that he was trying his best to suppress his anger, trying his best to resist the urge to beat Qiao Chenfei up.

I gave him a cold smile.

Pointless, provocative, mocking, decisive.

Of course, there was also self-mockery.

Because just now, I actually thought that he would plead for me. But as it turned out, I was stupid.

I killed his child. How could he plead on my behalf when he hated me and didn't have time to do so?

"Xiao Ying!" Qiao Chenfei really couldn't believe that I would willingly be punished.

The rest of the Lou Family were all shocked, they didn't expect a person with such an unyielding character like me to obediently surrender.

I smiled at them, contemptuous and disdainful.

It wasn't until we entered the Old Master's study and saw him take out a two finger-thick vine that I knew that the so-called Lou Family's family law was called flogging. Anyone who broke the rules of the Lou Family would be served by this vine. I only found out afterwards that so far, only two or three Lou Family s have been punished like this, and I was the first one who had tasted this kind of physical pain even though I wasn't a Lou Family.

I was supposed to be punished on my knees, but the old man didn't try to force me to stay, so he let me stay, but he didn't show mercy to me because I was a woman. With a wave of his hand, he whipped me so hard that the skin on my delicate back was ripped open, and I shivered all over from the pain, sweating profusely, but I gritted my teeth and kept quiet.

The first thing Qiao Chenfei did was rush into the study. Seeing that my back was covered in blood, he hugged me tightly and cried from the pain.

"Xiao Ying, bear with it. We'll go to the hospital right now." He picked me up and ran out of the study.

When I walked out of the study room, I was surprised to see Lou Shaotang leaning against the wall of the study room. His face looked very pale, his eyes were red, and it seemed as if he was somewhat moist.

Was he crying for his lost child?

So it turned out that he wasn't a cold-blooded animal. He also had feelings for them!

I laughed coldly in my heart.

When we came out, he wiped the corners of his eyes, straightened, and stared at me.

It must be because he felt that I was in a very sorry state right now. His eyelids twitched, but the expression on his face remained calm and unwavering.

"Scram!" Seeing him standing in front of us, Qiao Chenfei glared at him furiously.

Although I was too weak to speak, it was obvious that he still stood there and stared at me as if he didn't hear what Qiao Chenfei had said. I used all of my strength to squeeze out a word between my teeth, "Scram."

Then he closed his eyes and no longer looked at the abominable face, but he moved aside from the sound.

We soon arrived at the hospital. I was lying on the sickbed, the doctor was treating my wounds, seeing that I was tightly clutching onto the pillow, covered in cold sweat, Qiao Chenfei knew that I was still holding on, and helped me wipe my sweat while saying in pain, "Xiao Ying, if you want to cry out in pain, that way you can feel better."

I shook my head. It wasn't that I didn't feel pain, but I realized that the most painful part of my body wasn't my back, but the heart in my chest.

Especially at this moment, when I thought about Lou Shaotang's indifferent face and the heartless words he said, my heartache grew even stronger.

I don't know why this is happening.

I clenched my fists and suppressed this unfathomable pain, warning myself that Lou Shaotang was my enemy and that there would be a day when I would repay the humiliation I had suffered today by multiple times!

Not long after, the doctor finished taking care of the wound, he informed Qiao Chenfei of his precautions and left.

Qiao Chenfei pulled out a chair and was about to sit down when he heard the phone in his pocket ring. He took it out and looked at it, then frowned and picked it up, "What's the matter?"

Don't know what the other party said, but his expression suddenly became displeased, "What meeting is so sudden? You still want me to join you? "

He sighed and said helplessly, "I understand. I'll go back now."

"Is it something urgent for the company?" I asked when he put the phone away.

Qiao Chenfei nodded his head, "There's an emergency video conference overseas, and they designated me to participate."

"Then go, I'm fine."

"No." He took out his cell phone again, preparing to dial. "I called the housekeeper and told him to send someone over to take care of you."

"No need." "I will not enter Lou Family's door, and I will not meet the people from Lou Family again."

"Xiao Ying!" Hearing my words, Qiao Chenfei was shocked.

"Except you." I added, knowing he was worried that I too was getting out of touch with him.

Instead, he let out a heavy sigh. "Xiao Ying," he said in an apologetic voice, "I know this will hurt you a lot, but …"

"Stop talking." I interrupted him. I know what he's trying to say.

"I've thought about it, Chen Fei." I said in an extremely determined manner, "I will no longer have anything to do with the Lou Family. Even if we get married in the future, I will not step foot in the Lou Family again. If you can't accept it, then we have to. "

"No." He also knew what I was going to say, so he quickly stopped me from saying those two words. "I accept." "When we get married, we move out and don't talk to them."

"Chen Fei." Hearing the meaning behind his words, I was very surprised. "Chen Fei, you don't need to be like this, they are your relatives."

Qiao Chenfei smiled indifferently and helped tuck me in, "Alright, stop thinking about it. You rest first, I will come back later when I get back to the company. Call me if you need anything. "

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it anymore, I also felt that it was rather disappointing. I nodded my head and said, "Got it."

After he left, the more I thought about it, the more bitter I felt in my heart. Maybe I was too selfish, and shouldn't have let him choose between me and the Lou Family.

I am doing this to make him unfilial.

However, it's impossible for me to face the Lou Family again. I hate to see their faces again. I hate to fight them openly and secretly.

Every time I see him, especially when I see him together with Zhong Ruoqing, I feel extremely upset and frustrated.

No, I don't want to see any of them again!

I want to lead a peaceful and bland life.

Because of the medication, I soon fell asleep, closing my eyes and gradually falling asleep.

In my drowsiness, I suddenly felt something gently stroking the wound on my back. It felt so soft, like a feather, that it didn't hurt at all. On the contrary, it was a little cool and comfortable.

I thought I was dreaming, so I closed my eyes and didn't wake up. I continued to enjoy this comfortable feeling. But the next second, I realized something was wrong, because the feather seemed to have changed. It was like two soft pieces of cotton that were pressing down on my wound inch by inch. What was even weirder was that the cotton did not feel dry, but wet.

No, this is not cotton.

Lips!

Startled by this realization, I burst open my eyes
