Chapter 807 Family Discipline
As he finished speaking, Xu Chen noticed that more and more bright red blood was flowing from her fingers, and Wen Qingyi's face was growing paler and paler.
He was both anxious and distressed. He released Gong Lian, grabbed Wen Qingyi's fingers, and asked, "Where's the first-aid kit? Where is the first-aid kit?"
If he were at the Xu family's residence, someone would bring him a first-aid kit at his command. However, he forgot that he was not at the Xu family's residence, but at the Gong family's villa, which was completely unfamiliar to him.
All the servants in the entire Gong family villa obeyed only Gong Lian; his words had no effect whatsoever.
He called out for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.
All eyes were focused on Gong Lian, as if they were waiting for him to give orders.
"Gong Lian, I ask you to have someone bring out the first-aid kit." Xu Chen squatted on the ground, his face grim, and said to Gong Lian, "Can't you see that Qingyi's finger is bleeding?"
It's a shame he was Qingyi's ex-fiancé, yet he showed her far less concern than his childhood sweetheart.
What kind of suffocating relationship is this?
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian scoffed, "I saw it, but I can only stop her bleeding after you leave. Why should I stop her bleeding if you don't leave?"
"You'd rather watch Qingyi bleed to death than stop her bleeding?" Realizing this, Xu Chen was so angry that he punched him in the face: "You bastard!"
Gong Lian was caught off guard and took a punch. He then clenched his fist and punched Gong Lian in the face, while also kicking Gong Lian hard in the abdomen!
"You dare hit me? Do you think that just because I call you Second Young Master Xu, you're still the same Second Young Master Xu you used to be?" Gong Lian stared at Xu Chen, who was lying on the ground after being beaten, and said condescendingly, "Xu Chen, let me tell you, if I get serious, you're not even worth a finger of mine! Get lost!"
"Don't let me see you again." With that, Gong Lian gave the butler a look, signaling him to throw him out.
The butler was always very perceptive. After receiving his signal, he immediately summoned bodyguards, who grabbed Xu Chen from both sides and dragged him out.
"Gong Lian, even if I leave today, I will definitely come back again as long as I have the chance in the future!"
Then his voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared completely.
"Someone, bring the first-aid kit and stop Miss Wen's bleeding."
"yes."
Soon, someone went to get the first-aid kit and then applied medicine to Wen Qingyi.
Gong Lian watched as the maid helped Wen Qingyi stop the bleeding until the small cut on her finger was completely sealed and the ointment was applied. Only then did the maid leave with the first-aid kit.
"Tell me, when did you contact Xu Chen?"
His calm voice rang out, almost making Wen Qingyi afraid to look up, her heart pounding with guilt, fearing he would discover something: "What contact? I didn't contact him..."
It's true that she contacted him early in the morning, but she didn't expect him to find her so quickly.
She underestimated Xu Chen's ability to act.
"Stop pretending!" Gong Lian didn't believe her at all: "Before you contacted him, Xu Chen never knew where you were, and no one ever bothered you. But as soon as you contacted him, he came, didn't he? Tell me the truth, when did you contact him?"
"Don't test my patience."
He wasn't going to waste his patience with her. All his patience had vanished the moment she ruined the engagement ceremony.
All that's left is endless impatience.
Upon hearing this, Wen Qingyi still didn't dare to look up. She bit her lip lightly and said tremblingly, "I didn't..."
Even if it were true, she couldn't admit it.
If she admits it, given Gong Lian's temper, he will definitely make her pay the price.
Her situation is already miserable enough; if she loses this job, she'll have no choice but to go back to Canada.
There is no place for her in the country anymore.
"No, is that so?" Seeing that she still wouldn't speak, Gong Lian directly instructed the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, pull up all the surveillance footage from last night until just now. I want to see whether it was Xu Chen who contacted you, or you who contacted Xu Chen."
"yes."
The housekeeper quickly checked the surveillance footage and soon found evidence that she had contacted Xu Chen on her own initiative.
When the butler walked out of the monitoring room with a tablet computer, Wen Qingyi's heart seemed to jump out of her chest, and her lips trembled, afraid that the butler would say something.
The butler walked up to Gong Lian and handed him the tablet computer: "Mr. Gong, this is the surveillance video you requested. According to the video, Miss Wen contacted Young Master Xu around 7:30 this morning, and it was discovered by Sister Li, who was on duty that day."
"Go and call Sister Li over here." Gong Lian stared at the surveillance video and said calmly, "I want to find out the truth for myself."
"yes."
A few minutes later, the housekeeper brought Sister Li to him: "Sister Li, please describe the situation when you asked Miss Wen to do chores this morning."
“Mr. Gong, I went to wake Miss Wen up this morning to get her to work, but I found her in her room making a phone call. She said something like, ‘Brother Chen, I have to go now, I’ll call you back when I have time.’ Then she hung up and got up to get to work.”
Sister Li recounted what she had seen to Gong Lian in detail, word by word.
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian glanced sideways at Wen Qingyi, who hadn't dared to look up: "Wen Qingyi, the evidence is overwhelming, what else do you have to say?"
"I..." Wen Qingyi was speechless for a moment: "I have nothing to say."
Now that Gong Lian has discovered it, confessing quickly is the best solution.
Given Gong Lian's temper, if she denies it, he will definitely use torture to force her to confess, and in the end she will have no choice but to admit it.
Rather than ending up in that situation, it's better to admit it yourself; at least you can salvage the situation a little.
Although it won't salvage much anyway.
"In that case, steward, go and fetch my whip from the family law." Gong Lian stared coldly at her: "I want to be punished according to the family law!"
Should we use family discipline?
Wen Qingyi noticed those words, and disregarding her disheveled appearance, she suddenly looked up and apologized to him: "Ah Lian, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once. I really won't do it again..."
"Is it appropriate for you to call him 'A-Lian' now that you're in this position?" Gong Lian reminded her calmly. "Wen Qingyi, you should know how I discipline the servants at home. Anyone who makes a mistake must be punished according to family rules. Otherwise, what kind of example can I set for others?"
"Butler, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get it!"
The steward realized that Gong Lian was really angry, so he dared not refuse any longer and could only go to get his leather whip.
