"Fu Xingzhou, will you admit your mistake or not?"

Fu Yan stood to the side, his face still showing anger.

That rebellious son of mine has really grown up now.

They actually used the Fu family's influence for the sake of a woman, causing the company to lose a lot of profits without anyone noticing.

There are still excuses to cover up the past for the projects given to Jinyun Group, but the projects given to Fengxi Group involve one percent of the shares held by Fu Xingzhou personally!

It is simply unforgivable to so easily transfer the Fu family's shares to outsiders!

Fu Xingzhou remained silent, his back straight and his expression calm even while kneeling.

"Fine, you bastard, I've been away from the country for a long time. Did you really think that the Fu family was completely under your control?"

"The Fu family will not deliver on any of the promises made to Jinyun and Fengxi! And the woman you want to protect will not be able to win the bid so easily!"

Fu Xingzhou was finally moved by his father's words.

"If you don't want the Fu family to be known for being untrustworthy, then please do so."

Fu Yan was instantly enraged, "Fu Xingzhou! How dare you risk the family's reputation!"

"Guards, bring forth the family rules!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ronghua immediately stepped forward to offer advice.

"Xingzhou, just apologize to your father! Why do you two have to make such a scene?"

"Fu Yan, he's your son! How could you bear to hit him for a bitch?"

The father and son ignored Shen Ronghua's words. Fu Yan even found her in the way and had the housekeeper take her out.

"A doting mother spoils her son. I think you're just spoiled by your mother!"

As they were talking, the family law was brought in.

A thorny branch lay on the tray, covered in dust from long neglect.

However, the spikes on it still look incredibly sharp.

When this stuff is injected into the back, it quickly draws out a lot of blood.

"I'll ask you one more time, Fu Xingzhou, do you admit this mistake or not!"

Fu Yan gave a low shout, but all he got in return was endless silence.

Enraged, he picked up a thorny branch and lashed it across his son's back.

Then a scream rang out, but it wasn't Fu Xingzhou who made it; it was Shen Ronghua.

"Fu Yan, you've gone mad! You actually laid a hand on your son!"

Fu Xingzhou's suit was already scratched, and his white shirt was soon stained with a few faint traces of blood.

This time, Fu Yan used all his strength.

Fu Xingzhou, however, remained upright, seemingly unfazed by the incident.

This only made Fu Yan angrier.

"Shen Ronghua, shut up! Look at the good son you've raised!"

"Take her to the backyard. I don't want to hear her crying!"

At Fu Yan's command, Shen Ronghua was taken away by the butler and servants.

The butler beside her whispered, "Madam, let's go. The master probably won't hit you again."

"If you help the young master like this, the master will only get angrier."

Shen Ronghua turned a deaf ear. From childhood to adulthood, Fu Xingzhou had always been a chosen one, and no one had ever laid a finger on him.

Now, for the sake of a vile woman, they actually resorted to family discipline. How could she not be agitated and resentful?

"Fu Yan, if you're so capable, then don't lay a hand on your son!"

Shen Ronghua's voice gradually faded into the distance until it became indistinct.

The ancestral hall was quiet inside and out. Fu Xingzhou's back remained straight, showing no sign of bending.
