Sitting in Si Kangzhu's jeep, Xu Zhe finally recovered from the high-speed wheelchair ride.
Si Kangzhu drove, and Chen Cheng sat in the passenger seat.
It was as if there was a galaxy between the two, a completely different situation from the negative distance under the streetlights of Nancheng University.
"Where's Master Wu? Why didn't he come to pick me up?" Xu Zhe took the initiative to break the ice.
The three of them sat in the car in complete silence, creating an awkward atmosphere.
"He arrived a while ago, but he didn't answer your call," Si Kangzhu replied to her question.
Xu Zhe pondered. Although the man's tone was serious and methodical, the murderous aura from before was gone.
"Oh, I see. Hehe~"
She checked her phone and found several missed calls from Mr. Wu.
So when Master Wu couldn't reach her, he told Xu Zhengxi. Xu Zhengxi knew Si Kangzhu was at school, so he told him to go find her.
Xu Zhe was confused, so she quickly called Master Wu back and apologized to him several times.
Mr. Wu was very easy to talk to and told her not to be so polite.
Xu Zhe sighed, wishing Si Kangzhu were this easy to talk to...
When the jeep arrived at the Xu residence, Butler Zhou and Aunt Lin were already waiting on the porch to greet it.
Seeing them felt like seeing family; finally, someone was there to support her!
"Where is the young master?" she asked Butler Zhou as soon as she got out of the car.
Butler Zhou helped her set up her wheelchair:
"In the study."
Xu Zhe lowered her head listlessly. Xu Zhengxi must be dealing with important matters in the study, and she didn't want to disturb him.
So she said goodbye to the couple and went inside to her room.
Si Kangzhu got out of the car and called to Butler Zhou:
"Would it be convenient to inform the young master? I need to speak with him."
Butler Zhou nodded. The eldest son of the Liang family was sitting in the young master's study, which should make it convenient for Si Kangzhu to enter.
Si Kangzhu told Chen Cheng to go back first, as she would be away on a business trip for almost a week, and told him to stay home and wait for her to return.
Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng immediately burst into tears, unwilling to say goodbye.
The two, who were still kissing passionately, finally managed to suppress their impulses and were about to rush home to be intimate when Xu Zhengxi called them to go find Xu Zhe.
Having finally managed to bring the person back, Chen Cheng was pondering whether to patiently go home or surprise Si Kangzhu on the way...
Unexpectedly, they would have to be separated for a whole week!
One week, seven days, one hundred and sixty-eight hours! Chen Cheng sighed, how could he possibly endure that?
It wasn't until Butler Zhou came over and invited Si Kangzhu inside that Chen Cheng reluctantly left.
Si Kangzhu entered the study. Xu Zhengxi was sitting in the main seat of the council chamber, and Liang Shaojie was sitting next to him.
"Young Master." Si Kangzhu called out and bowed to Xu Zhengxi.
Xu Zhengxi remained expressionless, waiting for him to speak.
Liang Shaojie shifted his position and sat up straight, showing great interest in what Si Kangzhu was about to say.
“I have neglected Miss Zhe, please punish me!” His voice was loud and powerful, and he did not act humbly.
Upon hearing this, Liang Shaojie immediately raised an eyebrow. Interesting! I just thought Xu Zhengxi's words were uninteresting, but here comes the interesting one!
Xu Zhengxi's tone remained unchanged: "How did you neglect her?"
Si Kangzhu remained bowed and said, "I pushed the wheelchair quickly and forcefully, almost causing Miss Zhe to fall off."
Liang Shaojie gasped.
You little rascal, are you stupid or just plain stupid?!
Who is Xu Zhe?! Your young master's precious darling! You dare to turn against the Pei family for her sake?!
Sure enough, Xu Zhengxi's already cold face instantly turned chillingly cold.
"This isn't neglecting her, it's bullying her."
"Go to the yard and punish yourself!"
Si Kangzhu bowed and said, "Yes!"
After saying that, he left.
Liang Shaojie was completely dumbfounded. That's... it's over?!
Where's the thunderous wrath of the big boss in online novels? Is this all the power Xu Zhengxi has when he gets angry?!
Ha! If anyone dared to bully his Bei Xiaoyu... Just thinking about it made Liang Shaojie's anger explode like an atomic bomb, creating a mushroom cloud!
He, Liang Shaojie, wouldn't even dare to bully someone like that, how could he let others bully him?!
Which hand did you use to bully them?!
I'll chop him up!
In the backyard of the Xu residence, two bodyguards took turns wielding thick, shiny snake-bone whips, striking Si Kangzhu's back with a series of "cracks!"
He took off his shirt, revealing his bare back, which was already torn and bleeding.
Blood streamed down his back, soaking his upper body and trousers, and also wetting a patch of grass.
Xu Zhe hid in her room, looking out the window at the scene in the backyard. The sound of whips cracking made her heart pound!
She saw Xu Zhengxi's two long wounds on his back at the hospital and asked him how he got them, but he wouldn't say.
She wondered if he had also been whipped by someone.
But who dares to hit him?!
"Aunt Lin, what is Si Kangzhu doing?!" Xu Zhe asked, frowning.
Aunt Lin silently drew the curtains: "Miss Zhe, please stop looking."
Xu Zhe wouldn't listen. The person was already beaten so badly; even if it was a huge mistake, you can't hit someone!
She drew back the curtains and continued watching.
Aunt Lin came over to explain:
“Miss Zhe, this is the Pei family’s rule. The young master has never done this before.”
"It should be that Si Kangzhu requested the punishment himself in accordance with the Pei family's family rules."
Xu Zhe's brows furrowed even deeper. The Pei family's rules?
Were the two marks on Xu Zhengxi's back also injuries inflicted by the Pei family's discipline?
She looked out the window again, and Si Kangzhu had already been carried away...
In the study, Liang Shaojie's face was as white as if he had been dead for three days.
Looking at Si Kangzhu's back, a bloody mess, he had forgotten all the domineering CEO logic of protecting his wife.
Xu Zhengxi...is this how you punish people?!
How could he do this? Just because Si Kangzhu bullied Xu Zhe?
He often bullies her too, so why doesn't he punish himself?!
Poor scone bamboo~~
If I were to run into Liang Shaojie, he would have bullied his woman...
Which hand did you use to bully him?! I'll chop it off!
Butler Zhou knocked lightly on the study door and entered to report:
"Young Master, Si Kangzhu has been taken to the hospital."
Xu Zhengxi nodded, then beckoned Liang Shaojie over.
When Liang Shaojie turned around and saw Xu Zhengxi's cold expression, he remembered that bloodied man.
He immediately put on a smile and scurried over quickly:
"Sir, please give me your orders!"
