Chapter 247 It was my fault, I need to punish myself.
Fu Yanci scolded, "Aunt Meng, this is an order. If you don't hit her, I'll fire you."
"I……"
Aunt Meng had never encountered anything like this before, and she was still hesitant.
Fu Yanci roared, "Hurry!"
Aunt Meng had no choice but to take the whip and strike Fu Yanci.
Not having much strength, Fu Yanci shouted again, "Bigger!"
Aunt Meng gently added a little more force.
Fu Yanci shouted again: "Not big enough!"
Fu Yanci kept calling out, several times in a row.
Aunt Meng has never hit anyone. Ever since Fu Yanci came, she has been taking care of him. She treats him almost like her own son, if not her own.
As the saying goes, "It hurts a mother's heart when her son is beaten," and Aunt Meng was particularly distressed.
Fu Yanci knelt there, clearly in great pain from the beating, yet he still endured it.
After being hit countless times, Fu Yanci, who originally had nothing on his body, now had many injuries.
Aunt Meng was almost at her limit, but since Fu Yanci didn't say she couldn't continue, she didn't dare to stop.
Perhaps the noise was too loud, which woke Shen Qianyu up.
She looked over at Fu Yanci and, seeing this, immediately asked, "Yanci, what are you doing?"
She was too weak to come over, but because she exerted too much force, she fell off the bed.
Fu Yanci quickly reached out to catch the person.
Aunt Meng didn't hit anyone under these circumstances.
"Yan Ci, what are you doing?"
Shen Qianyu looked at him in disbelief.
Fu Yanci's eyes were filled with pain and guilt: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Old Madam Fu would hit you like that. It's all my fault, so I'll take the punishment."
"It was Old Madam Fu who hit me, not you."
"But she is still my family. It's my fault for not protecting you."
Shen Qianyu shook her head: "I don't blame you. It's my fault for not telling you. You don't know anything. It's okay."
Shen Qianyu reached out and stroked his cheek: "Please don't hit me anymore, okay?"
Fu Yanci's eyes were still filled with guilt: "But seeing you in pain hurts me even more. Seeing the scars on your body makes me feel so sad."
Shen Qianyu shook her head again: "It's alright. By the way, how is Yun Shu's mother?"
"Don't worry, my men have already rescued her; she's unharmed."
Shen Qianyu nodded: "That's good."
"Is it because of Lu Xiuyuan?"
Shen Qianyu nodded again.
“I have launched a full-scale crackdown on the Lu Group. From now on, I will have people snatch away all the clients that cooperate with him. Qianyu, I will not let you be bullied again.”
Shen Qianyu hugged him tightly and cried, "Yan Ci, I don't blame you. How could I blame you? When I was being bled and almost died, you saved me. You were so good to me. I know you felt sorry for me."
Fu Yanci held her tightly in his arms.
"But I still failed to protect you."
"No, that's enough, really enough."
Aunt Meng was heartbroken when she saw this.
How could this happen?
Thankfully, she didn't have to hit him anymore; those few blows must have made her feel so bad.
Shen Qianyu wanted to apply medicine to Fu Yanci, but she didn't have the strength.
Fu Yanci said with a smile, "It's nothing, this little injury is nothing."
Shen Qianyu had experienced it firsthand, so of course she knew the pain.
"How could it not hurt?"
"I am a man."
Shen Qianyu looked at him with heartache.
Similarly, Fu Yanci didn't tell Shen Qianyu that it was because he was beaten that he realized her pain.
Not just this time, but every single time.
She doesn't even know how many times she was beaten.
Those who hit her deserve to die.
Shen Qianyu's phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.
Just as Shen Qianyu was about to answer the phone, Fu Yanci took it from her.
"If you're injured, don't worry about company matters; leave them to me."
Shen Qianyu couldn't possibly compete with him, and watched as he answered the phone.
"Lu Xiuyuan? You still have the nerve to call me?"
Upon hearing that it was Lu Xiuyuan, Shen Qianyu lay back down on the bed.
She used to think that she was not good enough for Lu Xiuyuan, that there was a world of difference between them.
But after experiencing this, she realized that she was wrong.
If she had never liked Lu Xiuyuan, she wouldn't have almost lost her life.
“I’m telling you, because of you, your mother took Chen Shirui to the Fu family’s old house, giving Madam Fu a good reason to hurt her. Do you know how badly she was beaten?”
"How dare you call me, Lu Xiuyuan? Did you ever truly love her? Did you ever truly trust her? Don't call me in any form; this is my warning."
With that, Fu Yanci hung up the phone and blocked the number.
Fu Yanci found it particularly laughable when he thought about what Lu Xiuyuan had heard on the phone.
He said he knew he was wrong and that he shouldn't have misunderstood Shen Qianyu!
However, because he never believed Shen Qianyu and never told anyone else about it, Shen Qianyu suffered a series of harms.
It's all because of that man! It's all because of that man!
Fu Yanci handed the phone to Shen Qianyu: "Don't answer his calls from now on."
"I hadn't accepted it before."
Shen Qianyu's eyes were filled with despair.
Fu Yanci held her hand tightly: "Don't think about it too much."
Shen Qianyu nodded.
After comforting her mother, Yun Shu went to Shen Qianyu's house.
Seeing Shen Qianyu lying on the bed, tears immediately streamed down her face.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm so sorry."
Shen Qianyu quickly reached out to wipe her tears: "What are you talking about? What does it have to do with you? If I had gone there sooner, Auntie wouldn't have been taken away by them. I deserve all the injuries I'm suffering now."
How could you say that? How could someone deserve it?
"Of course I deserve it. I was blind back then to fall for Lu Xiuyuan, and I almost ruined myself here. Don't you think I'm ridiculous?"
Yun Shu continued to cry. Looking at the shocking injuries on her body, she couldn't imagine what kind of feelings Shen Qianyu must have had when she was beaten.
"I thought that once you married Fu Yanci, you wouldn't have to suffer like this. But the Fu family... how could they be so unreasonable?"
"Old Madam Fu never liked me to begin with. Tang Ning went there and added fuel to the fire, and she found a reason. Don't blame yourself. Even without you, they would have found a chance to bully me."
Yun Shu was still crying.
Seeing her best friend like this, even if it had nothing to do with her mother, she was still very sad.
Shen Qianyu said, "Alright, stop crying, it's like I'm dead."
Yun Shu froze, then quickly explained, "That's not what I meant, I..."
Shen Qianyu smiled and said, "I know."
Yun Shu wanted to stay and keep her company, but seeing Fu Yanci's expression, she knew he didn't want her to disturb their time together, so she quickly left.
When Fu Chengyu returned home, he couldn't help but feel strange. Was that person really not Shen Qianyu?
Liking someone means you know that person very well.
He decided to go and see for himself; he had to find out the truth.
He took out his phone and asked Fu Yanci where he lived.
