He originally thought that he had caused a big trouble for himself, but he never expected that his daughter, whom he did not like very much, could easily resolve the knot that Yaya, the psychologist, had been unable to resolve for months with just a few words.
He looked at Zhou Liwan who had been standing quietly by the side. She had been watching this farce silently since just now.
Even if the credit was taken away from her, she didn't seem to want to defend herself.
Yao Kangcheng, who was also invited, smiled heartily: "You are being too modest. Your Wanwan is amazing. My Afu is so stupid. If Wanwan hadn't helped her drive away that blood-sucking bug that day, no matter how much property I have, it would not be enough for her to pay for it."
Zhou Jianguo's face froze: "Blood-sucking worm?"
"Ah~ Our A-Fu found a partner, ate our food, drank our drinks, and even wore clothes bought by our A-Fu, but he actually cheated on me! Luckily Wan-Wan helped me vent my anger that day, otherwise I would have rushed to that guy's house and chopped him to pieces."
Yao Kangcheng is a man from the Northwest. He has been in the army since he was a child and always speaks directly.
But since he is a righteous man and not fussy about details, no one will care whether what he says is civilized or not.
Zhou Jianguo suddenly felt as if his heart was blocked, recalling that night when he was furious and about to attack, the girl stubbornly asked him why he didn't ask her what happened.
And I would only convict her based on my own associations, thinking that she went to that kind of place to look for men.
He looked at Zhou Liwan suddenly, not caring whether this was at the Jiang family's banquet or not: "Why didn't you tell me directly at that time?"
Zhou Liwan found it funny in her heart. People like Zhou Jianguo would never think that they were wrong.
At this point I still blame myself for not explaining it to him.
Zhou Liwan slowly said, "Will you believe it if I tell you?"
Zhou Jianguo stood there in a daze, and the towering building in his heart collapsed.
Jiang Sangluo noticed that Zhou Liwan was not in a good condition, so he reached out and carefully put his arm around her shoulders, but unexpectedly touched the spot on Zhou Liwan where the medicine had not been applied.
Due to the momentary pain and the fact that the fever had not yet subsided, Zhou Liwan was unable to stand for a moment.
Jiang Sangluo accidentally saw from her collar that her whole body was covered with whip marks, and her back was even inflamed. He widened his eyes in disbelief: "How could there be so many scars?"
Everyone's faces changed, and they were nervously concerned about Zhou Liwan, whose face was so pale that it seemed like it would break if squeezed.
"I..." Zhou Jianguo's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. He was too embarrassed to continue.
But everyone tacitly understood the reason.
Zhou Liwan swallowed hard and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, Sang Luo, don't worry, I've already applied the medicine."
"Humph, what kind of society is this? Why are you still beating up children?" Jiang Sangluo glared at Zhou Jianguo in dissatisfaction, "Besides, Sister Wanwan is already that old, how can she face people in the future after you do this!"
Han Xiaofen, who was not far away, adjusted her expression, walked up and gently took Zhou Liwan's arm: "Child, you are too stubborn. If you had been willing to give in to your father at that time, everything would have been fine. It really hurts me to see you like that."
"You feel sorry for her, but you let her wound get inflamed without treating it?" Jiang Sangluo had disliked this extremely hypocritical mother and daughter ever since he started receiving psychological counseling from Zhou Qingya. Now, seeing how they treated Zhou Liwan, he couldn't stand it at all.
After saying that, he pulled Han Xiaofen's hand off Zhou Liwan's arm, not showing Han Xiaofen a good look at all: "Grandpa, I remember there are some medicines at home. I'll take Sister Wanwan upstairs to deal with them first."
Jiang Hanming couldn't bear to see the kids suffer, so he quickly said, "Don't worry about us. Take Wanwan away first and take a good look. If it's serious, call me."
Zhou Liwan smiled gently at Jiang Hanming and Yao Kangcheng without even looking at the rest of the people.
Without looking back, he followed Jiang Sangluo upstairs.
"Hey~ How could you bear to do that! That child suffered so much when she was young. Even if she made a huge mistake now, you shouldn't beat her like that!" Yao Kangcheng also watched her grow up after Wanwan came back, and he was not happy. "Besides, what did that girl do wrong? Huh?"
Zhou Jianguo was upset and felt full of frustration and regret.
In fact, I didn't lose my mind at the beginning of the day, until I waited for a whole night and received that call again.
Then, Zhou Liwan wanted to strangle Zhou Wenyue to death, which was the complete outburst.
"She was stubborn and refused to admit her mistake, and I got so angry..." Zhou Jianguo really found it hard to speak.
"Excuses! I see that you just don't allow anyone to challenge your authority as the head of the family!" Yao Kangcheng couldn't help but scold.
"If you don't want this daughter, I do. Why do you want to abuse the child like this? Anyway, my Yao family is not short of money, and we can afford to raise several children!"
Zhou Jianguo felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He was silent for a while and went straight to the second floor.
After all, Jiang Sangluo had studied medicine for several years, so applying medicine to wounds was not difficult for her.
She lowered her head and held her breath nervously, carefully treating the wound, fearing that she would hurt Zhou Liwan who was lying on the bed. "It's really abominable, how cruel."
Zhou Liwan smiled softly: "I'm fine, don't be angry."
Jiang Sangluo puffed up his cheeks: "How can I not be angry? Why did you come to the banquet when you were so seriously injured? You are simply playing with your own body!"
When Zhou Jianguo, who had just come up, heard these words, the dim light shone on his face and his eyes were obscure and difficult to understand.
She was in a very bad condition this morning. I had to drag her out of bed and bring her here by force.
Now the wound on the back is inflamed and ulcerated.
With a physical condition that makes her fall down with a push, can she really run that far and beat a grown man like that?
[It seems that she didn't lie to me. Assistant Li's injuries really had nothing to do with her. ]
Zhou Liwan raised her eyes and saw the man at the door: "Mr. Zhou is here."
Zhou Jianguo took a few steps inside when he was discovered, and stopped not far away: "Are you feeling better?"
"Just watch for yourself! Can it get better?" Jiang Sangluo was already angry and spoke rudely.
"Sang Luo, it's uncle's fault. Can I have a few words alone with your younger sister?" Zhou Jianguo was not angry. He looked gently at Jiang Sang Luo who was cleaning up after treating the wound.
Sang Luo looked back and saw Zhou Liwan nodded to him, then he rolled his eyes and left.
"I know you are very disappointed in me," Zhou Jianguo said with a heavy face as he tucked the quilt into Zhou Liwan's arms.
"What are you disappointed about?" Zhou Liwan asked with a smile.
"I didn't even give you a chance to explain, and I beat you so hard."
"No." Zhou Liwan shook his head gently. "It's not that I'm disappointed. I didn't have any hope for you in the first place."
Zhou Jianguo's eyes flashed: "Do you want to give Dad another chance?"
Zhou Liwan tilted her head to look at Zhou Jianguo, her almond eyes flickering: "Doesn't father understand that once an opportunity is lost, it will never come back?"
"You are still being stubborn with me! You have been separated from your family since you were a child. Don't you want to experience the joy of family life? If you keep being stubborn like this, you may lose a lot of precious things in the end."
"What you think is precious is nothing but dirty garbage in my eyes."
