He rushed over to check the wound on Shen Jingyan's face.

Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian quickly seized the opportunity to pull Gu Qing up from the ground.

Gu Qing's knees were numb from kneeling, and when she stood up, she tugged hard at Gu Zhiyun's trench coat.

Before Chen Jingyan could explain the whole story to Gu Zhiyun, Gu Qing started crying and accusing the villain of making false accusations.

"Uncle, she hit me! Look, my face is all swollen! What kind of person is she to dare hit me! Get her out of here! Get her out of here! Our Gu family doesn't want such a vicious daughter-in-law!"

She stared with red eyes, panting like a water buffalo, wishing she could swallow Shen Jingyan whole.

Gu Zhiyun didn't even glance at Gu Qing, but tenderly stroked the wounds on Shen Jingyan's lips and forehead.

Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian tried to pull Gu Qing out, but even with their combined efforts, they couldn't budge her.

Seeing that Gu Zhiyun was ignoring her completely, Gu Qing simply lay down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

"Uncle, how could you do this! All you know is to feel sorry for her. How badly was she hurt? Do you know how badly she hit me?"

Gu Zhiyun's head was throbbing from the noise, so he had to speak loudly to drown out Gu Qing's booming voice.

"Jingya, what's going on?"

Chen Jingyan glanced coldly at Gu Qing and said in a calm tone:

"She ruined my most expensive pair of high heels. I tried to reason with her, but she hit me with the shoes. I hit her back, but I still felt it wasn't enough!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing had even more reason to complain and act shamelessly.

"Uncle, you heard it all! She even tried to hit me! That woman is utterly wicked! Corrupt! How could you have a daughter-in-law like her! You should kick her out!"

"Shut up, Qingqing! You deserve to be beaten for talking like that!"

Gu Huaiqian was furious and shouted angrily.

Gu Qing screamed at the top of her lungs, plopped down on the ground, slapped her thighs, and began to curse.

At such a young age, she had already mastered the essence of a shrew's cursing, which stunned everyone present.

His appearance and demeanor were even better than Chen Feng's.

For a moment, Shen Jingyan even had the illusion that Gu Qing was Chen Feng's long-lost biological daughter!

"I want to go home! None of your family members have ever treated me well! I want to find my mom! I want to find my mom!"

Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian had never encountered a child who would throw a tantrum to such an extent, and for a moment they were at a loss, and could only look at each other in bewilderment.

How could a family of intellectuals possibly handle such a shrew?

Without any mercy, Shen Jingyan slapped Gu Qing twice more.

Shut up! If you keep making a scene, I'll send you home immediately!

It was only when Shen Jingyan made a move that Gu Qing was truly intimidated.

She keeps saying she wants to go home, but that's just to scare the Gu family. With all the good food and drink here, and such a comfortable life, she's long since forgotten about home.

Let her go home? She would absolutely never want to!

She sobbed a few words, tears and snot streaming down her face, her mouth agape as if she wanted to devour someone.

"Uncle, you have no conscience! My dad saved your life! Would you exist without him? I was beaten and you didn't say a word to help me? You're a heartless ingrate! My dad saved you for nothing! My poor dad's legs hurt so much in winter that he can't move or sleep! You...you treat me like this? You let this vicious woman beat and scold me?"

This emotional appeal left the Gu family speechless.

Shen Jingyan realized that as long as Gu Qing held onto this card tightly, she could do whatever she wanted in the Gu family.

She was telling the truth, but even the daughter of someone who saved her life shouldn't be so arrogant!

Gu Zhiyun was truly helpless. In order to quell the matter, he had no choice but to say to Shen Jingyan:

“Jingya, you are the elder. Even if Qingqing does something wrong, you shouldn’t hit her.”

Shen Jingyan still had a bellyful of grievances with nowhere to confide in. If it were any other time, she could understand why Gu Zhiyun said that, but in this situation, she felt that his words were like a sharp sword piercing straight into her heart!

Gu Zhiyun knows how to be grateful, and she supports him, but he shouldn't be bound and kidnapped by his boundless sense of morality!

Such compromise will only embolden Gu Qing!

Sure enough, Gu Qing's confidence immediately swelled: "Did you hear me? You vicious woman, what right do you have to hit me?"

If this card works well, she'll keep using it. Should we just keep indulging her?

If someone else had said those words, Chen Jingyan wouldn't have cared at all.

But these words actually came from the person she loved and cared about the most!

Her tears welled up immediately.

Feifei was terrified and quickly grabbed Xu Honglin.

"Dad, don't get agitated!"

Shen Jingyan had never seen such a refined and cultured intellectual as Xu Honglin so enraged. Even when Xu Yatong angered the old man to the point of hospitalization, he had never lost his temper like this.

The room was in a mess when the knocking started.

This is getting interesting; Brother Yun is having a bit of a hard time winning over his wife.
