This kind of man, who lets his wife suffer while he enjoys the good life, is a disgrace to the word "man."
"What are you doing kowtowing? What were you doing all this time? Now you remember to come here and kowtow?" Shao Jiefu's voice came from the direction of the stairs.
Xu Lanxin turned around and saw Shao Jiefu coming down. She frowned, said nothing, and left on her own.
Shao Jiefu sat down on the mahogany sofa, and Liao Nanxing slowly raised his head.
"Teacher, I know that nothing I say now can quell your anger, because I have ruined your reputation and made you lose face. I'm sorry."
Shao Jie glanced at Liao Nanxing and, noticing the injuries on his face and neck, couldn't help but ask curiously, "These injuries of yours..."
"Sigh!" Liao Nanxing sighed, "Su Mu has postpartum depression and is constantly suspicious and causing trouble. These days, everything inside and outside the house is in complete chaos."
"Since that's the case, it's understandable. Get up."
Shao Jiefu relented, and Liao Nanxing slowly got up.
Seeing Liao Nanxing's usually arrogant face now so smeared, Shao Jiefu was both angry and helpless.
"Look at you, Xiao Zhou was such a gentle person, and you didn't cherish her. Now look what happened, you're getting your comeuppance, aren't you? Everyone knows that a woman you marry is someone you're going to live with. You deserve what you've done!"
Liao Nanxing didn't dare to say a word.
Actually, it was only after marrying Su Mu that he realized not all women are suitable for marriage. Especially women like Zhou Chunhua, who put his family first, are rare indeed.
He always felt regretful when he thought about it.
"The teacher is right."
"Alright. I heard from Lin Zhehan that Xiao Zhou divorced you and you left with nothing. At least you have some conscience."
Liao Nanxing raised an eyebrow. How could Old Lin dare to say anything so carelessly?
Now he didn't dare to utter a sound, nor did he dare to raise his head, for fear that Shao Jiefu would see through his expression.
Shao Jiefu added, "However, I'm quite surprised that Xiao Zhou is still pushing you to the brink even after you left with nothing. I heard from Zhehan that you lost the case. How about this, you take a break for a while, wait for things to calm down online and fade from people's view, and then I'll make some arrangements for you."
Shao Jiefu put down his purple clay teacup: "Don't kneel here anymore. Go home and take care of your wife and children. Your daughter has been missing for so many years without any news. She probably won't come back. Xiao Su has given you an heir."
I only hope you remember this: When the father is loving, the mother is at peace; when the mother is at peace, the child is at ease; when the child is at ease, the family is harmonious; and when the family is harmonious, everything prospers. When the father is wicked, the mother suffers; when the mother suffers, the child is afraid; when the child is afraid, the family declines; and the family declines for three generations.
The old man is immoral, the father is incompetent, the wife suffers, and the son toils.
You came from the mountains and worked your way up to where you are today through hard work and perseverance. Don't let your children suffer the hardships you endured as a child.
Liao Nanxing nodded and slowly stood up, supporting his numb and aching knees.
Shao Jiefu also got up quickly to leave.
"Teacher," Liao Nanxing called out to the person.
"Is there anything else?" Shao Jiefu asked.
Liao Nanxing thought for a moment and then asked, "Can you tell me who is pulling the strings behind the scenes at the school?"
He knew he shouldn't ask, but he was unwilling to give up.
Shao Jiefu's complexion, which had just begun to improve, darkened again.
"Hmph! I only found out it was Qin Xiuyuan after making inquiries."
"Qin Xiuyuan?" Liao Nanxing's voice rose an octave.
Qin Xiuyuan is a medical prodigy. Even when he was still a student, he had already won numerous patents and awards.
"I...I've never even met him, why does he want to kill me..."
Gu Yao!
It must be Gu Yao again!
He glanced at Shao Jiefu, but didn't mention Gu Yao's name.
After all, Gu Yao was an untouchable treasure to Shao Jiefu.
“Yes!” Shao Jiefu’s voice pulled Liao Nanxing back to reality.
“I asked too, but they said that Qin Xiuyuan just saw it online and felt that the school’s handling of the matter was inappropriate, and there was no other reason.”
At this point, Shao Jiefu's brows furrowed even more.
"Xiao Liao, whatever Qin Xiuyuan's purpose in doing this, it has to end here. Also, you must pay more attention to your lifestyle in the future, and don't let any more negative information spread. Otherwise, even if I want to help you, I won't be able to."
Upon hearing this, Liao Nanxing quickly nodded in agreement.
Shao Jiefu waved to indicate that he could leave, and Liao Nanxing then left the Shao family.
"Old Shao, a piece of trash is a piece of trash. Why force it if it can't be helped? This time, it's all thanks to Xiao Yao for detonating this bomb. If you had helped him get to the top and then it exploded, your reputation would have been ruined."
Shao Jiefu sighed deeply, walked to the window, and gazed into the distance.
"So, I don't blame Xiao Yao for this. But if I leave Liao Nanxing alone and word gets out, wouldn't I be the one who loses face?"
Xu Lanxin came over and gently massaged Shao Jiefu's shoulders.
"One's attitude towards marriage is the most direct indicator of a person's character. Of your students, Xiao Yao is the best. It's a pity he refused to take over your class; otherwise, you wouldn't be in this predicament."
Shao Jiefu rubbed his temples.
Everyone else begged him for resources, but Gu Yao refused them no matter how hard they were offered.
...
Liao Nanxing left Shao Jiefu's house and went straight to the hospital.
Upon learning Su Mu's bed number, he immediately went to find it.
Upon entering, Liao Nanxing was startled by Su Mu's appearance.
Su Mu's entire head was wrapped in gauze, leaving only his eyes, nostrils, and mouth exposed.
He knew he hadn't held back yesterday, but he hadn't expected to beat Su Mu into this state.
With a determined look, he went inside.
Su Mu was startled and shrank to the corner of the bed, trembling like a frightened rabbit.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
Su Mu's terrified screams attracted the attention of other patients and their families in the same ward.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liao Nanxing had no choice but to stand still and not move forward.
Someone whispered, "Could this be... the husband of the woman in bed 25?"
“Look at his face and the reaction of patient 25, it’s almost certainly him.”
"How could a grown man beat his wife like that?"
"No matter the reason, a man who hits a woman is definitely not a good person."
The murmurs gradually turned into curses, and Liao Nanxing, her face flushed, lowered her head and left the ward.
He cared more about Su Mu than the barrage of insults.
The teacher said he can't have any more negative things. So, the domestic violence against Su Mu must not be blown out of proportion, no matter what.
So Liao Nanxing went directly to the doctor's office to discharge Su Mu from the hospital.
When the attending physician heard that Su Mu was going to be discharged, he immediately explained the dangers involved to Liao Nanxing in detail.
Liao Nanxing didn't care about any of that now. After signing all sorts of notices, he took Su Mu back to Yunxijian that same day and locked him in a room.
