Chapter 958 Sheng Lin is about to be beaten to death (Part 1)
Xi Jiu was so furious that even Old Man Xi didn't dare to approach him easily, let alone ask him to stop.
Seeing that Mr. Xi was powerless, Sheng Kuang had no choice but to look to Ruan Qi for help.
"Niece Xiaoqi, can you help..."
"Uncle Sheng." Ruan Qi interrupted him with a smile, "Sheng Lin's curse on me is like stabbing a knife into Jiujiu's heart. I will not tolerate any behavior that hurts Jiujiu. So I'm sorry, I won't help you persuade Jiujiu. But don't worry, Uncle Sheng, Jiujiu knows what's going on and won't kill Ms. Sheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Jiu, who was not far away, raised the whip.
The silver whip drew a sharp arc in the air, making a hair-raising sound.
Then——
Bang!!!
"Master Xi!"
"Arlene!"
"Xiao Lin!"
Amid the exclamations of the Sheng family, the silver whip fell, leaving hideous gashes on Sheng Lin's body.
Blood instantly gushed out from the crack, staining her thin clothes red.
Apart from giving birth to Ye Qingqing, Sheng Lin had basically never suffered any hardship in her life. How could she, with her frail body, withstand a whip from Xi Jiu?
The moment the whip fell, she let out a shrill scream of pain.
Then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
The Sheng family wanted to rush forward anxiously, but they did not dare to move forward because they were afraid of Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu didn't even look at them. He raised his hand coldly and gestured to Gong Qi.
"Wake her up."
Gong Qi, who was very experienced in his job, immediately picked up the bucket of ice water that had been prepared long ago and poured it over Sheng Lin's head with a "splash".
Sheng Lin, who fainted from the pain, shuddered violently and struggled to open her eyelids.
When she saw the person standing in front of her...she wanted to faint again.
Sheng Lin regretted it, really regretted it.
She underestimated Ruan Qi's importance in Xi Jiu's heart, and also underestimated Xi Jiu's ruthlessness.
She originally thought that the Sheng family and the Xi family had been friends for many years, and since Sheng Kuang and Xi Xiaoran were childhood friends, Xi Jiu, as a junior, would not make things too difficult for her.
But it was not until this moment that Sheng Lin understood the meaning of the phrase 'Iron-blooded Master Xi'.
This is a truly cold-hearted and ruthless man.
No, that’s not right.
He had feelings, but he only gave this tenderness to Ruan Qi. He left only his iron fist and brutality to others.
Sheng Lin finally understood this, but it was too late.
Xi Jiu raised the whip again.
Perhaps faced with such absolute power, even an ant wouldn't even have the urge to struggle. Sheng Lin simply closed her eyes without even asking for help.
However, the imagined pain did not occur.
She opened her eyes cautiously and saw a girl in a white dress standing on tiptoe, her small hand gently grasping the man's big hand holding the whip.
"Jiujiu, just one hit is enough. If you hit me more, your hand will hurt."
With just these words, the furious man obediently lowered his arms, like a lion being appeased.
Ruan Qi stood on tiptoe and patted him lightly on the head.
"Jiujiu, don't be angry. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
The man who lost his mind because of Sheng Lin's curse, his cold heart was now surrounded by the sense of security given by the little girl.
That sense of security seemed like the warmest and gentlest spring water, enveloping his uneasy heart and completely calming his emotions.
Xi Jiu threw away the whip, took Ruan Qi's hand and held her in his arms.
Ruan Qi sensed his uneasiness and leaned against his chest obediently, patting his back gently with her two small hands in a soothing manner.
Everyone in the Sheng family who watched all this was a little stunned.
It was clearly a violent martial arts film just now, how come it turned into a healing romance film in just two seconds?
The Sheng family members were a little confused, but even though they looked bewildered, they were very tactful and did not dare to interrupt the heartwarming scene of the young couple hugging each other.
Until... five minutes later, the bowl of potion that Ruan Qi gave Ye Qingqing lost its effect.
Endless pain and itching instantly swept through the whole body.
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but let out a tragic scream.
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
"Help! Grandpa, help me!"
"Mom! Help me! It hurts so much!"
Screams came out of Ye Qingqing's mouth, bringing the warm and healing romance film back to reality.
Old Master Sheng hurried over to hold her hand, but Ye Qingqing scratched his skin in an instant.
"Miss Ruan," Old Master Sheng couldn't help but beg, "Please save Qingqing! She's in so much pain!"
Ruan Qi glanced at Ye Qingqing, whose face was pale with pain, and remained unmoved.
Old Master Sheng wanted to continue begging, but Xi Jiu interrupted him coldly.
"Mr. Sheng, Xiao Qi has already given Ye Qingqing a chance, but she didn't cherish it."
Mr. Sheng opened his mouth but had nothing to refute.
Xi Jiu is right.
Ruan Qi did give the opportunity.
It was Ye Qingqing who refused to apologize, and the suffering she is suffering now is her own fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else.
But……
Grandpa Sheng couldn't bear it when he saw his granddaughter who was in so much pain that she almost rolled her eyes.
"Miss Ruan," he gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Please give Qingqing another chance. This time, I will make her apologize to you in person. I will never break my promise!"
Sheng Kuang also quickly echoed: "Yes, Xiao Qi, give her another chance. If she doesn't apologize, I will personally kick her out of the Sheng family without my father telling me!"
This promise is quite significant.
Ruan Qi was successfully persuaded.
"Mr. Sheng, Uncle Sheng, you must keep your word."
"Of course! I swear on my political career!" Shengkuang immediately promised.
Ruan Qi got the assurance, nodded with satisfaction, and took out another small pill from the medicine box.
Sheng Jianan immediately rushed into the kitchen with the pills.
A minute later, a bowl of medicine was poured into Ye Qingqing's mouth again.
Because Ye Qingqing was awake this time, the potion took effect faster, and the pain and itching were instantly relieved in less than a minute.
When Mr. Sheng saw that she had stopped screaming, he immediately grabbed her shoulders.
"Qingqing, get up and apologize to Miss Ruan!"
Ye Qingqing was in great pain just now, and her mind was in a state of confusion. She didn't hear clearly the promises made by Grandpa Sheng and Sheng Kuang.
At this moment, hearing Mr. Sheng's request, she pursed her lips and lay on the stretcher pretending to be deaf and dumb.
But this time, no one spoiled her.
Mr. Sheng grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up, "Apologize!"
Ye Qingqing shuddered when she was yelled at, and tears instantly flowed out.
"Grandpa, why are you yelling? It hurts so much..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Mr. Sheng yell again: "Apologize to me!!!"
Ye Qingqing, who had been spoiled for over twenty years, had never been yelled at like this by an elder. She flinched at first, then her whole being was aroused.
"I don't! I don't want an apology! I just won't!!!"
Anyway, the Sheng family will help her find a way to solve her problem, so she doesn't want to apologize to that little star in front of Xi Jiu!
