Chapter 308 Chen Shirui's Fate
“You told me before, so we investigated, but we had no news. Isn’t it a coincidence that we found them just when they were about to propose marriage?”
Shen Qianyu never expected things to be so coincidental.
"This means they're trying to deceive you, and even God can't stand by and watch."
"Yes, I've already been very lenient with them today. They're trying to drag us down with them, and I'm already being quite generous by not exposing them on the spot."
Shen Qianyu seemed to understand: "So, you deliberately let them get their marriage certificate first, then hold the wedding, and announce it at the wedding?"
"Yes, if they dared to do this, they should have thought about the consequences."
Shen Qianyu had a smile on her face.
"Auntie, you are all so amazing."
Madam He grasped Shen Qianyu's hand: "Qianyu, I know this is not good. When we found our daughter, we told you that we couldn't recognize you as our goddaughter for the time being. But when we found out that it wasn't her, we still wanted to recognize you back. Oh, I'm embarrassed to say this."
"Godmother!"
Shen Qianyu called out.
Madam He was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face.
"Sigh, sigh!"
Shen Qianyu said, "It's fine if you want to acknowledge me, then we don't need to hold any family reunion ceremony. Those are all external things, and we don't need anyone to know about them. You just need to be good to me."
"Yes, yes, we will definitely treat you well. You are such a child, it breaks our hearts to see you like this."
Shen Qianyu looked at her with a smile.
Fu Yanci, who had been silent until now, said, "The Lu family is probably going crazy!"
At that time.
The Lu family.
After the guests had all left, Tang Ning suddenly shouted to the servants, "Someone, bring me my whip."
Chen Bo realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Madam, what are you trying to do?"
"What are you doing? Men, hold down Uncle Chen and Chen Shirui too."
Chen Shirui realized something was wrong and quickly said, "Mom, what are you going to do to me!"
The whip was quickly brought over, and even the servants came over to hold the two people down.
Chen Shirui tried to move, but the maid held her down tightly.
Tang Ning took the whip and lashed it hard at Chen Shirui: "Who are you calling 'Mom'? I don't have a daughter like you, nor a daughter-in-law like you. From now on, you will call me Madam."
Each lash was just as powerful as when Qianyu was slammed into the ground.
Chen Shirui was in excruciating pain and kept rolling on the ground, trying to get away.
Uncle Chen said with heartache, "Madam, why can't we talk things out? Why resort to violence?"
"What else is there to say? I believed her back then, that's why I listened to her. And look what happened now. The He family already knows about it. Not only has the Lu family not been saved, but they don't even have the chance to marry into another family. It's all her fault."
Chen Shirui understood and exclaimed, "But you agreed at the time. If you hadn't agreed, I would never have done this... Ah!"
Chen Shirui felt the whip striking her body harder.
"It hurts!"
"It's supposed to hurt, do you know how much it hurts us right now? Don't you know what the Lu family has become? It's all because of you!"
Uncle Chen tried to rush over and hug his daughter, but he couldn't break free from the servant's strength, so he could only watch helplessly as his daughter was beaten.
Suddenly, Uncle Chen noticed Lu Xiuyuan standing there silently and quickly asked him for help:
"Young Master, Shi Rui is still your wife, you can't just abandon her!"
Lu Xiuyuan looked at Chen Shirui with disgust in his eyes, as if he would have done so even if Tang Ning hadn't.
"Young Master, please say something! Shi Rui has given herself to you, so she's yours now. What if she really dies?"
Lu Xiuyuan exuded a cold aura: "Die? It would be better if she died, then I wouldn't have to think about divorcing her."
"divorce?"
Uncle Chen couldn't believe his ears.
"You...you still want to divorce her?"
"Yes, we can't get a divorce right now because we just got married and there are so many people watching. But since she's no longer of any use to us, why does she still have to call me Mrs. Gu?"
Chen Bo froze.
They have no use!
That's true!
They are the masters, and he is the servant!
They never treated him like a human being.
Just then, Fang Hui and Shen Jiacheng also arrived. Ever since Lu Xiuyuan wanted to win back Shen Qianyu, he had been very kind to these two.
These two people had been receiving salaries from the Lu family all along, and seeing this scene made them feel particularly relieved.
Shen Qianyu is clearly the true heiress of the He family, but because Chen Shirui's visit to the He family could bring benefits to the Lu family, they ordered the two of them not to say a word.
They thought the Chen family would become powerful from then on, but they never expected that they would fall from grace so quickly.
"Chen Shirui, you've completely humiliated us in front of the whole city today! Even if I don't beat you to death, I'll make sure you suffer!"
Tang Ning became increasingly angry as she thought about it.
Chen Shirui's screams rose and fell.
When she was being beaten so badly she could hardly breathe and felt like she was about to die, she saw Lu Xiuyuan standing there motionless and slowly crawled toward him.
Before the bloodied hand could even touch Lu Xiuyuan's trouser leg, Lu Xiuyuan had already dodged away.
That look of disgust made Chen Shirui's heart ache even more.
But she still said, "Even a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness. Xiuyuan, we have already consummated our marriage, and I love you so much. You can't really just ignore it all."
"Even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness?"
Lu Xiuyuan had never heard such a funny joke before.
He squatted down, and Tang Ning stopped hitting him, but it was clear that Chen Shirui's body was already a bloody mess.
He reached out and lifted her chin, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
"Have you forgotten? You were the one who told my mom that you would drug me and make me do it with you. Do you really think I wanted to do it with you?"
The last time I touched you was the first, the last, and the only time. We were never husband and wife. What are you dreaming about?
As he spoke, he pushed her away forcefully.
The physical pain Chen Shirui felt was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
Why!
Why is this happening?!
In what way is she inferior to Shen Qianyu?
The thought that he couldn't be with Shen Qianyu made Lu Xiuyuan feel even more distant from her, and he felt particularly upset. He left after saying "I have something to do."
Chen Shirui kept calling out, but Lu Xiuyuan didn't turn around.
Tang Ning said, "Men, lock her in the basement. No one is allowed to let her out without my order."
Uncle Chen was also thrown into the basement.
Tang Ning glanced at Shen Jiacheng and Fang Hui: "You two still need to try to win over Shen Qianyu. When it's about time, we'll go to the He family and say that we've all been deceived by Uncle Chen and Chen Shirui. It turns out that Shen Qianyu is their real daughter. Then we'll hand them over to the He family to deal with, and we can also improve our relationship with the He family."
