Xu Feng looked awkwardly at the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd and calmly explained:
“What nonsense is this child talking about? When have we ever hit him? We haven’t even laid a finger on him all these years, how could we hit him?”
"Everyone can see how good I am to him."
Chen Xueping looked at Lin Wanxing, who was having a seizure in front of everyone, and hated him to death.
This idiot only makes them lose face, and he just happened to choose this time to have his illness.
On occasions like today, all those present are prominent and wealthy families; she is about to become a daughter-in-law of the Fang family.
It's all that idiot's and that Shen Er's fault for ruining everything.
Chen Xueping was filled with hatred, but when she turned her head, her face was filled with helplessness.
She said, "My brother can't handle stress. He's always like this, easily startled. He's talking nonsense because he's suffering from illness."
"Actually, his condition has been very unstable over the years, and it keeps recurring. When it gets serious, he will shout and yell. Of course, these are all family matters."
“I didn’t want to say these things here, but as everyone has seen, if I don’t say them, I’m afraid some people will make malicious speculations about my mother and think that she abused him.”
With Chen Xueping's face and pitiful expression, most people would still choose to believe her.
Not only is he an idiot, but he's also most likely mentally ill.
What a poor little thing.
Shen Youqing finally understood: Lin Wanxing was mentally unstable, and the Chen family wanted to get rid of him.
Seeing Chen Xueping's hypocritical face, Shen Youqing felt utterly disgusted.
What's with the act of being a pure and kind little princess? This Chen Xueping doesn't seem as simple as she appears.
Shen Youqing glared at the Chen family of three, then shouted indignantly, "Since he's already like this, why are you pushing him onto my second brother?"
"Why should my second brother marry him?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Shuhua immediately went to his wife and daughter. He no longer needed to hold back when facing Shen Er.
"It was your Shen family that proposed the marriage. We were just stating the facts. Besides, this matter was personally decided by Old Master Shen."
“Miss Shen is going against her elders. If your Shen family doesn’t want to acknowledge this marriage, that’s fine too. I will take care of my own son. It’s not like I’m pushing him onto the Shen family.”
Chen Shuhua is not a dough to be kneaded; he is very intelligent, and Shen Youqing cannot gain any advantage over him.
He could talk Shen Youqing out of words in just a few words.
Shen Huai'an listened quietly to Chen Shuhua's words with a smile. He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his slender middle finger. It was absolutely impossible for him to push the little fool onto him. He would not suffer in silence.
"Wanxing, come here."
Chen Shuhua commanded Lin Wanxing to come to his side. Lin Wanxing looked at him cautiously, his eyes filled with fear. He didn't want to go over.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come over here!" Chen Shuhua's tone was a little impatient, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of so many people.
"Yes, Wanxing, what's wrong with you today?" Xu Feng added fuel to the fire, "You're usually very well-behaved, don't make Daddy angry."
Lin Wanxing reluctantly walked to Chen Shuhua's side, and Xu Feng pretended to be a loving mother, reaching out to stroke Lin Wanxing's hair.
When Lin Wanxing saw her look up, she almost instinctively shrank back, immediately covering her head, trembling with fear, "Auntie, don't hit me!"
"Auntie, please don't hit Xingxing. Xingxing will behave."
"The star is wrong, don't hit me, don't hit me,"
Xu Feng's face immediately changed with anger. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "When did I ever hit you?"
Her voice suddenly turned shrill, startling Lin Wanxing so much that tears streamed down his face. He sobbed uncontrollably, but still tightly protected his head, crying, "Don't hit me, don't hit me!"
This time everyone saw it for real; that subconscious reaction is definitely something you only do when someone is terrified of being beaten.
It's obvious that someone in the Chen family must have hit the child.
Shen Youqing had sharp eyes, and she immediately noticed Lin Wanxing's wrist when she raised it, with obvious bruises on it.
She stepped forward and grabbed Lin Wanxing's hand, quickly unbuttoning his sleeve to reveal a large bruise on his wrist. Shen Youqing shouted, "What is this? You still say you didn't hit him?"
"You are clearly abusing him."
"You treat him like this just because he's stunned, and you still keep saying you're doing it for his own good?"
Everyone gasped when they saw the bruise that had been exposed. This was too cruel; to beat a sick and weak child so severely.
Fang Jiwei was furious when she saw this scene; a perfectly good banquet had turned into this mess.
The engagement was unclear, and he only had this one precious son, so he couldn't afford any mistakes. As a result, the Chen family pulled this stunt in front of so many people today.
"Don't hit me, Auntie, don't hit me."
Lin Wanxing screamed in fear, tears streaming down his face. He cried so pitifully, like a puppy that had been abandoned.
Shen Huai'an saw the bruise and sighed, thinking how pitiful the little fool really was.
"How pitiful, this child is sick." Fang Jiwei's wife looked at the crying child with heartache.
Mrs. Fang was kind-hearted and couldn't stand such things. She never expected this to happen in the Chen family. Mrs. Chen and her daughter had always been gentle and generous; how could they do such a thing?
Xu Feng's face turned pale, and her gaze suddenly turned to Chen Shuhua.
