Chapter 518: She Slapped My Ear

“Grandpa, Ziling is my wife. I can’t just sit and watch.”

“She is now the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family. She should stay away from the trouble of her maternal family. You have also seen the upheavals in the Gu family. Now that the whole Jianchuan knows about her father’s mental breakdown, we cannot predict what will happen to Gu Corporation. I’ll let you go this time. But there is no next time.” Grandpa Sheng reminded Sheng Kai.

Sheng Kai knew it was the reality although Grandpa Sheng might sound very heartless.

If the Sheng family were affected as well, he could not predict what would happen to Huang Yao.

In the living room, Gu Ziling and Hu Ran started another round of quarreling again.

“You are wishing for the bankruptcy of the Gu family now like Mu Qiqi, aren’t you? You never respect me as your sister-in-law.”

“I don’t want to argue with you. But let me be frank with you. Second Sister-in-law, with the situation now in the Gu family, not just me alone, even the servants will not respect you after a few days. Do you think Grandpa will help you?”

Sheng Bowen had not come home. And just because Hu Ran did not greet Gu Ziling when she came home, Gu Ziling vented her anger on Hu Ran.

“I am still your Second Sister-in-law. I am still Sheng Kai’s wife!”

“If you want to think it this way, I can’t help it.” Hu Ran turned around. She wanted to go into her room. Suddenly, Sheng Kai walked out of Grandpa Sheng’s study and yelled at Hu Ran.

“Apologize to your Second Sister-in-law!”

“Why should I?”

“You mock her when she is in trouble. Is this how you should treat your family?” Sheng Kai confronted Hu Ran to defend Gu Ziling’s position in the Sheng family. “Third Sister-in-law, you’d better show respect to Ziling in the future. No matter what, she is my wife, and she is your Second Sister-in-law.”

“I won’t apologize.” Having said that, Hu Ran turned around, wanting to leave. However, relying on Sheng Kai’s support, Gu Ziling grabbed Hu Ran’s arm and slapped her.

A loud slap was heard and everyone in the living room was shocked, including Sheng Kai.

“Can’t I teach you when I can’t beat Mu Qiqi?”

Hu Ran covered her face and walked forward. But suddenly, Sheng Bowen marched into the room and stopped Hu Ran. “Xiao Ran.”

Hu Ran turned her head and looked at Sheng Bowen in disbelief. She thought Sheng Bowen was stopping her. But Sheng Bowen walked toward Gu Ziling and slapped her hard twice on her face before Gu Ziling could even speak.

“This is my first time hitting a woman. You should be honored, Second Sister-in-law,” Sheng Bowen said coldly, “You two tried to bully Xiao Ran when I am not around. Do you think I am dead?”

Gu Ziling teared up. She wanted to fight back. However, Grandpa Sheng shouted, “Stop it. What is all this about?”

They did not speak. And Grandpa Sheng ordered the four of them. “Aren’t you going back to your rooms?”

Although Sheng Bowen had vented her anger for her, Hu Ran still pointed her finger at Gu Ziling and shouted, “I really want to see the Gu family go into bankruptcy. I want to see how you can still behave arrogantly by then.”

“We’ll see about that.”

Both couples went into their respective rooms. And the two women sat on their respective beds angrily.

Seeing that Hu Ran’s cheek was a little swollen, Sheng Bowen quickly got some ice for her. “Keep a two-meter distance from that woman from now on. Or else she might hit you again. Her father is crazy already, she is very likely to carry that gene too. Don’t hurt yourself because of her.”

Thinking of Third Brother’s slaps, Hu Ran felt less angry, “This… is your first time hitting a woman?”

“Absolutely,” said Third Brother, “I was just too angry that I could not control myself. I don’t care whether the other party is a man or a woman, I’d just do the same.”

“You’re so cool.” Hu Ran smiled while applying the ice pack on her face. “Why were you late today?”

“Somebody went to the police station this afternoon, so I had to take care of the mess alone. I barely finished the meeting at five o’clock,” explained Sheng Bowen, “I saw you being slapped the moment I came in. Does it still hurt?”

“She slapped my ear,” said Hu Ran, “Second Brother must have gone to the police station for the uncle of the Gu family.”

“I heard that Gu Ziling was humiliated by Mu Qiqi in the police station. That’s why she picked on you after she came home.” Third Brother laughed. “You know what, although Gu Ziling is a fierce character, she did not get any advantage when she was in front of Xiao Qi.”

“Qiqi is strong. She can handle anyone.”

Seeing the swell on Hu Ran’s face subsided, Third Brother grabbed her hands and said, “Looking at the current situation of the Gu family, I think we should try not to get involved with it as much as possible. We should just watch. Otherwise, I am worried that Second Sister-in-law might harm you again.”

“Okay.” Hu Ran grabbed Third Brother’s hands. When their eyes met, Hu Ran flushed. “Don’t sleep on the couch anymore.”

“I’m used to it.”

“Silly you, how can you rest well sleeping on the couch after getting off work?” Hu Ran tugged his clothes. “Listen to me.”

Third Brother was silent for two seconds. Finally, he nodded. “Okay.”

In the other room, Gu Ziling was furious. Although Sheng Kai got her some ice cubes, she did not use them. Instead, she asked Sheng Kai calmly, “Grandpa asked you to see him in the study to remind you not to get involved with the matters of my family, right?”

“Grandpa’s judgement is not wrong. But as your husband, I will stand by your side and help you as much as possible.”

Gu Ziling laughed coldly. “How ironic. Anyway, I really want to thank you.”

“Ziling, please just let bygone be bygone. If anything happens to the Gu family, I will be in a worrying position as well. If we keep fighting, our family will be ruined.”

Gu Ziling was still disgusted by his one-night stand with the secretary. However, it was a critical moment now. She had no other choice.

“Alright.”

“Apply the ice on your face first. Then, take a shower and rest. We will go to the Gu family tomorrow.”

Thinking of the Gu family, Gu Ziling’s heart was full of fear.

“The current situation in the Gu family is bad. And my uncle is being investigated by the police now. Kai, can you figure out a way to stop the police from pressuring the Gu family? If the case is exposed to the media, things will only get worse.”

“I’ll figure it out.”

Actually, was there any other way? He could only go to Zhongteng and talk to Sheng Xiao.

He hoped that he would let the Gu family go because they were cousins.

However, Sheng Xiao had got nothing to do with the case at all. And Mu Qiqi was also not the person in charge of the case. Would it be of any use when Sheng Kai talked to Sheng Xiao?

Through this, it could be seen that he still acknowledged Sheng Xiao’s ability in handling things although he was very unwilling to meet with Sheng Xiao. Because it hurt his dignity.

When Sheng Xiao was keeping a low profile, he had been thinking of giving alms to Sheng Xiao. He was also quite bothered by the existence of this brother. But at a critical moment, he was forced to beg him. How embarrassing.
