Aunt Zhao hesitated for a moment, then opened the door a crack and said to the bodyguard standing at the door, "Keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything else. I'll go in and inform him first. Don't let him in without Mr. Rong's orders."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan's face visibly darkened, but considering the purpose of his visit, he simply pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your trouble, Aunt Zhao."
Aunt Zhao was taken aback for a moment, but she still ignored him with a cold face and closed the door directly.
"Aunt Zhao, who's here?" Shen Zhi Qiu turned around and asked Aunt Zhao with some confusion.
Aunt Zhao hurried over to Shen Zhi Qiu's side and whispered in her ear, "Miss, Gu Qing Yan has arrived."
Shen Zhi Qiu frowned slightly. Rong Mo and Lu Jia beside her also heard Aunt Zhao's words and unconsciously furrowed their brows as well.
It was obvious that Gu Qingyan had come because of Gu Ningning.
Looking at the expressions of these people, Rong Hong roughly guessed who had come, and his face immediately showed some displeasure.
"Should we let him in, Miss?" Aunt Zhao asked in a low voice, unsure of what to do.
"Wait a minute, let's take care of things here first. Just let him wait, don't worry about him." Shen Zhi Qiu's face darkened, and he sneered inwardly. This time he came pretty quickly. He had never been this attentive when he needed help before.
He treated Xiao Wanqing this way, and now he's treating Gu Ningning the same way. It seems that Gu Qingyan isn't too busy to care about her; he simply doesn't care.
Shen Meiyan struggled desperately as Shen Yanshan covered her mouth. Shen Yanshan was old and staggered as Shen Meiyan pushed him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Meiyan bit Shen Yanshan hard on the tiger's mouth. Shen Yanshan felt the pain and couldn't help but let go.
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Shen Meiyan broke free from her restraints, took deep breaths of fresh air, and after bending over to catch her breath, she still couldn't resist yelling at Shen Zhi Qiu, "If it weren't for your mother, would my mother have suffered so much injustice behind my back for so long?!"
"What do you mean by that?" Shen Zhi Qiu lifted her eyelids slightly, her eyes suddenly turning cold.
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu's reaction, Shen Mei Yan became even more smug. She raised her head and said arrogantly, "Your mother deserved it! She's lucky she didn't die from being tortured!"
Shen Zhi Qiu glanced at her coldly and ordered in a chilling voice, "Xiao Lei, grab her."
"What are you trying to do?!" Shen Meiyan shrank back, but her words still retorted sharply, "Don't think I'm afraid of you! Dad's still here!!"
Shen Yanshan glanced at Shen Meiyan speechlessly, inwardly cursing himself for having such a stupid daughter, but before he could stop her, he heard Shen Meiyan's cry of pain.
Xiao Lei strode up behind Shen Meiyan and kicked her in the knee. Before Shen Meiyan could understand what he was going to do, she was already kneeling on the carpet with a "thud," her shoulders being forcefully restrained by Xiao Lei.
"Bring her here," Rong Mo said coldly.
"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I won't let you leave here unscathed."
Shen Zhi Qiu bent down and looked at Shen Mei Yan, speaking each word clearly.
"Zhiqiu, your sister is still young, and she's a bit outspoken. You know that. She's always had this problem, and I've spoiled her."
As the older sister, you shouldn't hold it against her.
Shen Yanshan was worried that Shen Zhiqiu was serious, so he quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Is it just 'speaking without restraint'?" Shen Zhi Qiu straightened up and said calmly, "Dad, I still call you Dad because I will never forget the kindness of you raising me. But if you keep avoiding the important issues, I will not show any mercy."
As you know, my mom is my bottom line.
Shen Zhi Qiu’s tone was calm, but her whole body exuded a chilling aura.
Shen Yanshan pursed his lips into a straight line. He pondered for a second and softened his tone.
"Zhiqiu, you are my only two daughters. They are both my flesh and blood."
Although Dad may not have done well in the past and was slightly biased, you are several years older than Meiyan, so Dad naturally favored your younger sister a little more. Now you have two children, and it's very difficult to treat them equally. I believe that when the children are older, you will understand Dad's dilemma.
For the sake of your father raising you, can you please not hold a grudge against your sister?
"I can take her away right now. I promise I'll give her a good talking-to when we get back, and she'll never make you angry again, okay?"
“It’s not that easy. Right now, she can’t leave even if she wants to.” Shen Zhi Qiu remained unmoved. “If she doesn’t explain my mother’s situation clearly today, I will definitely not let her go.”
Seeing that Shen Zhi Qiu was showing him no respect, and fearing that Shen Mei Yan might say something irreparable, Shen Yan Shan quickly stepped forward and stood to Shen Mei Yan's right, loudly scolding, "Why don't you apologize to your sister right now! Look how angry you've made your sister! She just gave birth not long ago, don't you know you can't get angry?"
As he spoke, Shen Yanshan slapped Shen Meiyan across the face, sending her sprawling to the ground.
"Dad, you hit me too?!" Shen Meiyan cried out in disbelief, covering her face and sobbing loudly.
Shen Yanshan felt a little reluctant, but he knew very well that if he didn't teach Shen Meiyan a lesson to calm Shen Zhi Qiu down, she would suffer even more. So he hardened his heart and coldly ordered Shen Meiyan to sit up immediately.
Shen Meiyan covered her face, sobbing and refusing to get up. She lay on the carpet, crying even harder, muttering curses incessantly. Shen Yanshan frowned, then turned around to look for any tools he could use, muttering, "Serves you right for being disobedient! Today I'm going to teach you a lesson with a stick!"
Rong Mo sat back down and chuckled. He then gave Aunt Zhao, who was standing to the side, a wink. Aunt Zhao understood and immediately ran to the storeroom, quickly grabbed a golf club, and ran to Shen Yanshan to hand it to him.
"Here, take it and use it to hit things. Everything in our house is very sturdy, it won't break. Hit it all you want," Aunt Zhao said casually.
Shen Yanshan was stunned for a moment, standing there awkwardly, looking at the golf club in Aunt Zhao's hand, not knowing whether to reach out and take it or not.
"Dad, stop pretending. You can't bear to hit her, so why bother?" Shen Zhi Qiu saw through his act and turned to Shen Mei Yan, who was sobbing on the ground, saying, "Shen Mei Yan, I'm giving you one more chance. Will you tell me or not?"
