Volume 1 Chapter 22 Return a Hundredfold
Zhu Qing is the spoiled daughter of the Zhu family.
She had looked down on Zhu Sheng since she was little, and treated her like a servant in the house. She had bullied this so-called sister countless times, openly and covertly.
Even if she made mistakes, her mother would stand by her, which made Zhu Qing feel more confident.
Tonight, she wanted to ridicule her foolish sister who dreamed of turning from a pheasant into a phoenix but ended up with nothing.
But who would have thought that when he looked up, he saw Zhu Sheng sitting with his sweetheart Shen Yu at the banquet.
Next to her was Shen Yu's beloved sister, and the three of them were chatting and laughing, enjoying an intimacy she had never enjoyed before.
Zhu Qing originally thought that Zhu Sheng had taken the position that belonged to him, and now he saw this illegitimate daughter yelling at her mother.
She immediately became furious and planned to embarrass Zhu Sheng herself.
At this time, Zhu Sheng was confronting his mother.
Zhu Qing pretended that he did not hold the wine glass steadily and deliberately bumped forward, "accidentally" spilling the full glass of red wine on Zhu Sheng.
The red liquid instantly spread on the white sportswear.
There was a wet mark on the chest, and even if it was wiped dry, an ugly red wine stain would appear.
There were screams from the crowd.
Zhu Sheng looked up and saw that the instigator not only showed no apology, but also shook the empty cup provocatively.
"Sister, can you go change your clothes now?"
Zhu's mother remained calm, as if she saw nothing and completely approved of Zhu Qing's actions.
Zhu Sheng's face was gloomy, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.
She picked up an opened bottle of red wine on the table, rushed over, and poured it all over Zhu Qing's head.
"You, what are you doing, stop it!"
This unexpected action frightened Zhu Qing. She screamed and tried to escape, but was held tightly by Zhu Sheng.
Just like that, a whole bottle of red wine was poured down on Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing, who had been dressed up carefully, now looked like a drowned chicken. She was soaked all over, with red wine dripping from her hair. She no longer looked like a wealthy lady.
At this point, she completely lost her arrogance and could only hide behind her mother and yell, "Mom, this bastard is bullying me."
Seeing her daughter being bullied like this in public, Zhu's mother was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She originally just wanted to warn Zhu Sheng verbally to make her obey. But this illegitimate daughter, who knows where she got the rebelliousness from, actually embarrassed others again and again in public.
If they don't do something now, how will they, mother and daughter, face people in the future?
Zhu's mother was furious and raised her hand, intending to teach Zhu Sheng a lesson.
But as soon as Zhu's mother raised her hand, Zhu Sheng stood up and grabbed her arm tightly.
"Auntie, do you want to hit me?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu's mother wanted to break free, but after trying several times, she couldn't move, so she shouted hurriedly.
"Zhu Sheng, are you going to rebel? You disrespectful person, let me go!"
Zhu Sheng shook his head and said softly, "Auntie, this is just the beginning. What I am going to do next is to truly disrespect my elders."
After saying that, she raised her right hand and slapped Zhu's mother hard with all her strength.
Bang——.
Zhu's mother's head was tilted from side to side by the blow, and half of her face was swollen and red. She looked at Zhu Sheng in disbelief, as if she had not yet fully digested what had just happened.
"You, dare to hit me?"
This loud slap stunned not only Zhu's mother, but also the crowd watching.
Zhu Qing was the first to come to her senses. Seeing her mother being bullied, she no longer cared about her elegance as a young lady and rushed up to fight with Zhu Sheng.
"Zhu Sheng, you are going too far. I will fight you!"
Before she could finish her words, Zhu Sheng gave her a heavy punch.
Zhu Qing was so small that she was like a little chicken in front of Zhu Sheng. There was no way she could take the punch. Not only did she fail to help Zhu's mother, but she was also beaten to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Zhu's mother was so distressed that she didn't care about her dignity anymore. She hurriedly shouted to the servants beside her: "What are you still standing there for? Catch that bastard and beat him to death."
Several servants finally reacted and rushed forward, trying to subdue Zhu Sheng, but she easily defeated them.
Suddenly, a pile of people were lying on the floor of Zhu's house, and groans of pain could be heard one after another in the hall.
Zhu Sheng was unharmed. He just shook his hands in disgust, walked over to the mother and daughter, and warned them bluntly.
"I advise you to consider the consequences before you act. If you are rude to me, I will return it a hundredfold."
This fight attracted most of the guests at Zhu's house.
Seeing the strange looks in others' eyes, Zhu Qing couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
Most of the guests were afraid of Zhu Sheng's crazy behavior and did not dare to step forward for fear that they would suffer the consequences.
The situation became awkward for a moment.
Fortunately, Zhu's father and Gu Chiye appeared at this time.
They were discussing business in the room when a servant suddenly burst in and reported that something had happened outside.
Zhu's father rushed over immediately and heard Zhu Sheng's harsh words as soon as he arrived. Then he looked at his miserable wife and daughter and was so angry that he almost had a heart attack on the spot.
Just when Zhu's father was about to teach this unfilial daughter a lesson, Gu Chiye suddenly stepped forward and asked Zhu Sheng a question.
"Why are your clothes so wet?"
Zhu Qing thought Gu Chiye was concerned about him and was about to start a conversation. But when he looked up, he saw Zhu Sheng wearing a suit jacket. He was stunned and speechless.
Zhu Sheng was also surprised, his body stiffened instantly, and he looked at Gu Chiye in confusion. He didn't know what he was up to, but at least he was not on the side of the Zhu family at the moment.
Just as Zhu Sheng was about to speak, she heard a scream from the crowd: "Sister Zhu, who made you like this?!"
It was Shen Mo who had just been called away.
She was so shocked that she trotted to Zhu Sheng's side, took out her handkerchief and tried to wipe off the red wine stains on her body.
Shen Yu followed behind, his face livid, like a sword that had been sealed in the dust for a long time, revealing a dangerous edge, ready to kill at any time.
Seeing Shen Yu coming, Zhu Qing wanted to attract the attention of his sweetheart.
She looked over deliberately with a pitiful look, but unexpectedly Shen Yu glared at her fiercely, and she was so scared that she immediately shrank back.
Suddenly, there were three more people who cared about her in this place. Zhu Sheng felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She immediately became confident and loudly accused the mother and daughter of the Zhu family.
"It was Madam Zhu who forced me to come to the birthday banquet. I came, but all I got was all kinds of trouble from them. Seeing that I was difficult to deal with, they asked the evil servants to beat me, but unfortunately they were not as skilled as them, so I beat them up.
Whether it is monitoring or questioning guests, it can be proved that what I said is the truth. If someone wants to confuse right and wrong, I, Zhu Sheng, do not cause trouble, but I am not afraid of trouble, and I don't mind competing with him again."
After saying this, Zhu Sheng stared at Zhu's father, as if silently threatening him that if he dared to continue to provoke her, she was not afraid that the trouble would get even bigger.
Zhu's father had a gloomy face and did not dare to act rashly.
The situation came to a standstill for a moment, and no one knew how to respond.
"Why don't I help Mrs. Gu change her clothes first? Otherwise, if she keeps staying like this, she might catch a cold."
Gu Chiye suddenly spoke, saying "Mrs. Gu" instead of "Second Miss Zhu", clearly standing on Zhu Sheng's side, and also giving a warning to Zhu's father.
After hearing this, Zhu's father had no choice but to swallow his anger and explain to the guests around him.
"Every family has its own problems. I am sorry for not being able to discipline my child properly. Please don't take it personally."
After saying this, he quickly ordered the servants to send his wife and daughter back to their room, and in order to save face, he insisted on staying behind to greet them.
Just when Zhu Sheng was about to ask Shen Mo to borrow clothes, Gu Chiye suddenly took her hand and said something softly.
"Come with me."
