18 Consequences
◎Sister, does it hurt?◎
The Liang family also had a villa in Shanghai, with a configuration similar to the one in the capital. Even the bleak furnishings of the study were identical.
Liang Jiangsheng sat in the chair with an expressionless face, staring at his three daughters in front of him.
Originally, Liang Jiangsheng was not going to come to Shanghai this time.
Yixing had no intention of cooperating with the Shan family, and only sent three daughters to celebrate the birthday. This not only gave Mr. Shan enough face, but also allowed him to bring the new third daughter to make himself familiar to the family.
It was because Ms. He said she hadn't been to Shanghai for a long time and wanted to eat the crab meat dumplings from Shop A and the pork ribs and rice cakes from Shop B that Liang Jiangsheng flew over with her.
Who would have known that this would happen.
Liang Youweian had been giving birth for more than two months when she ended up in big trouble—she had assaulted the young master of one of Shanghai's top families right there on their territory. Even though they were just a branch of the family, his surname was Shan after all, and it happened at the family's eldest brother's birthday party.
It doesn’t look good. It really doesn’t look good.
Liang Jiangsheng was already dissatisfied with Liang Youwei, and now when he woke up and found out about this troublesome thing, he became even angrier.
"Liang Youwei, what on earth are you going to do?" Liang Jiangsheng's voice was cold, his hawk-like eyes fixed on her. "What are you going to do about this matter? Don't count on me to back you up or solve it for you anymore."
Liang Youwei gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to reply: "...There is no solution."
"What did you say?" Liang Jiangsheng frowned even more tightly.
"I said, there's no need to solve it, let alone resolve it." Liang Youwei's voice was trembling. She was still afraid of her "father" and couldn't speak louder. "...He was the one who scolded me first."
"He cursed you first?" Liang Jiangsheng sneered, "Then can you make him admit that he cursed first? No one heard the dirty words, but everyone saw the slap mark on his face!"
"But who would always carry a recorder?" Liang Youwei complained. "He dared to make dirty jokes to me, and he did it so skillfully. That means it's not his first time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that I'm innocent..."
"A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. What's the harm in enduring it?"
Liang Jiangsheng himself couldn't stand a little grievance, but he didn't mind letting Liang Youwei suffer. After all, who was Liang Youwei? She was nothing.
Bear it, bear it! Bear it!
"He bullied me, why should I endure it!" Liang Youwei couldn't stand it anymore. She looked up with red eyes and made a blunt analogy: "If someone pointed at your nose and called you a rabbit god, would you not hit him? Why should I endure it like a coward!"
"presumptuous!"
Furious, Liang Jiangsheng raised his hand.
Liang Youwei bit her lips tightly and closed her eyes subconsciously. Her shoulders trembled, but her face remained motionless, and she showed no intention of dodging.
The slap fell as usual, and the sound of flesh hitting flesh was deafening, but Liang Youwei was safe and sound.
She opened her eyes in disbelief, only to see Liang Zhihui with her face turned sideways—Liang Zhihui, who had been slapped by Liang Jiangsheng and had taken the slap for herself.
"……elder sister?!"
Subconsciously, she trembled and wanted to touch her face, but almost at the same time, Liang Zhihui hugged Liang Youwei in his arms, and covered her eyes with his fingers with a familiar fragrance, blocking her sight.
"Dad, don't scare her."
Liang Jingyi looked at Liang Zhihui in disbelief, but her expression remained unchanged. Aside from the rapidly swelling redness on her cheek, she looked exactly the same as usual. Her voice was clear and cold, her tone calm and even, without any of the embarrassment or uneasiness of being slapped.
The moment his palms hit the two girls' faces, Liang Jiangsheng was also stunned.
Liang Zhihui was his most satisfying creation. She was intelligent, beautiful, talented, tactful, and incredibly resilient. From childhood to adulthood, Liang Jiangsheng had never spoken harshly to her, and hitting her was the first time.
"Zhihui, you..."
"Dad." Liang Zhihui interrupted him softly, "No matter what, Youwei's surname is Liang. If she is bullied, our Liang family will lose face. Tomorrow, I will go to Mr. Shan to explain the situation."
"...You spoil her too much." Liang Jiangsheng took a deep breath, feeling very disappointed with her, and whispered.
"She is my sister. As an older sister, I always have to protect my younger sister."
Liang Zhihui never felt that she was pampering Liang Youwei. She only felt that she was not good enough to her. Liang Youwei was criticized because she was not standing high enough and her ability was not strong enough.
Love is always feeling indebted, not always feeling at a loss.
Liang Youwei's nose tip suddenly felt sore, and the considerable pain rushed from the tip of her nose straight to her forehead, and she couldn't help but tremble all over.
Her breath was filled with the cool fragrance she had been accustomed to since childhood. She was held in her sister's arms. Once again, her sister shielded her from the storm from her father. She unconsciously grasped the corner of her clothes.
"Sister?" Liang Jiangsheng sneered, glancing at Liang Jingyi who remained silent. "This is your real sister. Although her practical ability is really average."
The disdain was evident in his final tone. Liang Jingyi was speechless. Thinking of the inexplicably cancelled contract, he silently clenched his teeth.
Liang Zhihui didn't move his lowered gaze, but just pursed his lips: "I understand, Dad."
After beating his second daughter, Liang Jiangsheng could no longer vent the anger that had been pent up for two months. He closed his eyes, turned around and left the study, leaving the three sisters behind.
"Is he killing the chicken to scare the monkey again?" The heavy wooden door was completely closed, and Liang Jingyi spoke, breaking the silence.
Liang Zhihui was gently wiping the tears of someone who was half a head shorter than her. When she heard this question, she was stunned for a moment. She looked over with a broad and tolerant gaze, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "The family atmosphere of the Liang family is not very good, Jingyi, there are some things you can ignore."
Liang Jingyi nodded, but soon frowned, glanced at Liang Zhihui's wound, and left the study.
"Second sister, does it hurt..." Liang Youwei kept shedding tears. She stretched out her delicate long fingers, pausing in mid-air for a few seconds before she burst into tears again. Her fingers grasped the sleeves of the coat of the person opposite her. Her shoulders trembled, and she threw aside all her resentment. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
She shouldn't have talked back, shouldn't have foolishly closed her eyes and waited for a slap, and shouldn't have allowed her sister to protect her like this.
Liang Zhihui coaxed her in a low voice: "It's okay, sister doesn't feel any pain."
"How could it not hurt?" Liang Youwei's face turned pink from crying. She didn't dare to move and looked at the red patch carefully and cautiously.
"Don't cry, your eyes will be swollen and uncomfortable the next day."
Liang Zhihui's face was indeed in pain, but she would not speak of it, and certainly not show her vulnerability in front of Liang Youwei. So, she simply lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her calloused fingertips.
Liang Youwei pursed her lips tightly and looked up at her, but after a while she lowered her head again, curled her lips, and wrapped her slender arms around her sister's waist, and stopped talking.
Guilt and powerlessness washed over her, and she pressed her forehead against Liang Zhihui's chest. One of them shed silent tears, soaking the other's clothes. Overwhelmed, the other, helpless, grasped the back of her head and gently stroked it.
Liang Jingyi happened to see this scene when she came in with a medical kit. The strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. As she walked closer, she could see the look in her second sister's eyes clearly.
The fingertips that were about to open the medical box stopped midway.
There are always some unspeakable tacit understandings between people, and Liang Jingyi and Liang Zhihui are of the same kind - she can see what she is thinking.
I see.
These four words kept hammering at my heart, and all my previous doubts were answered at this moment. Liang Jingyi suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and a sarcastic arc flew across his lips.
The heartthrobs, Liang, You, and Wei.
After taking a breath neither lightly nor heavily, Liang Jingyi opened the medical kit again and said calmly: "Second sister, let me apply medicine to you."
At the same time, the Shao family.
"Brother, you still can't get through on the phone?" Shao Sheng sounded guilty and looked at his brother cautiously.
"I can't get through." Shao Yue frowned, clasping his phone tightly with his five fingers. Liang Youwei usually kept her phone in her hand, but now she didn't reply to messages or answer calls. She didn't know what was going on.
"Second brother, this is my fault. I shouldn't have come to you alone. No matter what, I should have stayed with Sister Weiwei." Shao Sheng apologized in a low voice with his delicate eyebrows drooping.
Shao Yue was in deep thought at this time, but he had to force a smile and smoothed his brother's hair: "It's not your fault. You just listened to Youwei."
"Then second brother, how is Sister Weiwei now? Uncle Liang is so fierce, and you said that the Liang family has a very powerful new sister. I also saw her today. She is indeed very beautiful, but also very cold..." Shao Sheng pursed his lips, a little worried.
Shao Yue didn't say anything for a while.
His long eyelashes drooped and his hair was much messier than it was a few hours ago - when he learned that Liang Youwei had beaten someone, he ran back immediately, but he didn't see anyone.
Liang Zhihui moved even faster and took her away directly.
After thinking quietly for a while, Shao Yue put on his coat and said, "I don't know exactly what it will be like. I'm going to the Liang family. You can rest. Don't you still have to train with the other members tomorrow?"
Shao Sheng wanted to call his brother, but his brother was running faster than usual and he couldn't catch up. Sighing helplessly, he took out his vibrating phone.
The message was from his best friend: "Why have you ignored me for so long? Are you going to die? I haven't received an obituary yet."
Shao Sheng got angry when he saw it, and typed quickly, complaining about the poor character of Shan Yu from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Of course, Shan Yu made Liang Youwei uncomfortable, and he also felt bad.
"The old problem again?" The man in front of him had not had time to take off his formal suit, and only slightly loosened his tie. His facial features were cold and serious when he was not smiling, which was frightening to look at.
"Brother, I just saw that she didn't seem to have a strong background, and she happened to be pretty, so..."
"If you can't speak, just shut up." Shan Xun looked at him coldly: "Would I invite insignificant people to today's event?"
How could someone so stupid have the last name Shan? When my aunt gave birth, she must have taken the wrong baby.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Shan Yu could even hear her own heartbeat, like the sound of a drum, dull and extremely heavy.
At this moment, the door was casually pushed open, the sound of high heels hitting the ground was obvious, and a lazy female voice was heard: "Brother Xun, why aren't you sleeping yet? I'm sleepy." As she said that, she yawned and gathered her soft solid-color shawl.
The unique fragrance of her body drifted over, and Shan Xun's cold expression softened. He naturally reached out and held her hand, coaxing her in a low voice: "It's almost time, you go to sleep first."
The woman's eyes flickered across Shan Yu, not caring at all about his bewilderment: "It was he who provoked the fourth daughter of the Liang family. Why did he bully the little girl for no reason?"
I don't even want to use a question, it's just plain and dull.
Shan Xun hummed, and Shan Yu quickly bent down: "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean it..."
"Who is your sister-in-law? Don't call her that. It will ruin your reputation." Zhan Qingyan looked smiling, but there was a coldness in her eyes.
"Mr. Liang is a decent man. I guess he will come to our house to apologize tomorrow. On the third day, we can just send him back to Liang's house." She didn't waste her saliva on Shan Yu. Instead, she gently pinched Shan Xun's knuckles and spoke in a coquettish tone, "Please don't tell him, okay? Just stay with me."
Shan Xun felt somewhat helpless, but the look he gave Shan Yu was filled with disgust: "Did you hear that?"
"Brother, I heard it..." Shan Yu felt that gaze and didn't dare to look up, his face flushed silently.
"roll."
Shan Yuru felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She quickly turned around and wanted to leave, trying hard to ignore the conversation behind her.
"It's been a while since I've seen you so angry. Don't be angry. You're getting older now, be careful not to damage your body and reduce the quality of your sperm." The woman spoke in a frivolous tone and a sweet voice.
"Do you want a child?" The man's voice was slightly smiling.
"If I want to have a child, I won't have it with you. Shan Ke has a better temper than you and she's younger than you." The woman chuckled. "Are you not afraid that I'll become like Lu Zhi if I give birth to your child?"
"Would you like to have two children?" Shan Xun's attention was obviously different from others. He was a little surprised and a little expectant.
“…Get lost, Shan Xun!”
"Stop making trouble and come here."
Shan Yu was terrified and didn't dare to listen anymore. He quickened his pace and left.
