Chapter 252: Apologize

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Shan Qingyuan looked around. When the bodyguard came to report, he had already understood the whole situation. He didn’t expect that the Zhou family didn’t respect the Shan family at all.

Originally, he did not want to care about the mess his daughter had caused. She was the one who had stood up for Shan Shu first, but he could not tolerate the Zhou family riding on the head of the Shan family.

“What are you talking about, Master Shan?” Zhou Hong asked with a fake smile. “Shan Ling asked someone to beat my son up first. Of course, 1 have to teach your daughter on behalf of the Shan family.”

“Is that so?” Shan Qingyuan’s expression did not change at all. He only said, “My daughter left the Shan family when she was 18. She is hanging around those people from the Chen family and Zhao family. If you want to discipline her, just do it.”

Hearing Shan Qingyuan’s words, the expressions of the aristocratic family descendants present changed.

When did Shan Ling get involved with the Chen family and the Zhao family? No wonder she did not care about the Shan family and did whatever she wanted after she returned.

The people from the Zhang and Liu families were also there. The two families started to chat without restraint.

“Shan Ling is still young, but she has quite a wide social network.”

The head of the Liu family smiled and explained to the Zhang family, “This is nothing. This little girl is very talented. First, she learned from the Li family, and then she joined the Chen family. Everyone knows that the Shan family had a medical talent.”

The conversation between the two families was light, but Zhou Hong frowned. Taking the risk of offending so many families by rashly attacking a little girl was not worth it.

He wanted to take advantage of Han Xing, but Shan Ling kept pushing the blame onto him. He couldn’t find any reason to do so.

“The Shan family has to give the Zhou family an explanation for today’s matter, right? Could it be that my son was beaten up by you for no reason? What is this?”

He obviously did not want the Shan family to cover up this matter so easily.

Shan Qingyuan’s expression was indifferent as he asked with a smile, “Then what about him hitting my daughter? My Shan family only married our daughter to your family. We didn’t sell our daughter.”

“Today, he dared to attack her in front of so many people. 1 suspect that the Zhou family might be abusing my daughter in private.”

These words made Zhou Hong extremely furious. He shouted, “It’s normal for young couples to quarrel. Isn’t it common for them to push and shove? Don’t spread rumors about our family here!”

What Zhou Hong said was not false at all. They knew what kind of person their son was. Thus, they usually doted on Shan Shu. From time to time, they would let Shan Shu persuade Zhou Yang, but their son was like this. They really had no choice.

Beating her up in private was impossible. No matter what, it was impossible for it to reach such a state. Moreover, if Zhou Yang had the slightest bit of overstepping his boundaries, he would be scolded by Zhou Hong.

“Alright, it’s time to settle this matter. Why are you making so much noise?” Shan Qingyuan waved his hand, appearing extremely magnanimous.

“How about this? I’ll get Shan Ling to apologize to you. After Zhou Yang recovers, I’ll get him to personally come to our Shan family to apologize.”

Of course, Zhou Hong wasn’t happy with the way things were handled. Han Xing wasn’t punished at all.

Seeing that Zhou Hong was still unconvinced, the Wang family’s head, who had been standing at the side, could no longer sit still. His voice carried an unquestionable dignity. “What’s wrong? Master Zhou, are you not even going to do that for my sake?”

The Wang family hosted this ceremony every year. Everyone in the Northern Province knew that the Wang Family was generous and honest. Which family would not give the Wang Family some respect? Furthermore, in terms of wealth and power, the Wang family was already at the top of the Northern Province.

Seeing that the Wang family’s head had stepped forward, how could Zhou Hong dare to continue pestering them? He could only swallow all his resentment. “Alright, then we’ll do as Shan Qingyuan says today.”

Shan Ling did not hesitate at all and came out to apologize perfunctorily.

“1 was wrong today. I should have come over earlier and filmed the scene of Zhou Yang’s violence so that everyone can see how Zhou Yang is not a human being!”

“Enough!” Shan Qingyuan interrupted Shan Ling, “You’re really insensible. I asked you to apologize properly, not to start another fight.”

“Forget it, they’re all juniors. Let the matters of the next generation be left to them to resolve themselves.”

Zhou Hong’s face turned green, and his heart was filled with hatred. However, with the Wang family around, he did not dare to get angry. He could only remember Han Xing’s appearance before leaving with his men.

No matter what, today’s incident caused a rift between the two families. It would be difficult for them to cooperate in the future.

At this moment, Shan Qingyuan did not care about cooperation with the Zhou family at all. He had come out today to protect the Shan family’s reputation and to do Han Xing a favor. At that time, it would be much more legitimate for Han Xing to introduce Star Rebel.

Shan Shu finally heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at her father and said sincerely, “Dad, thank you for coming over today.”

“Thank me?” Shan Qingyuan’s expression was a little playful.

“Shouldn’t you thank your sister for stepping forward? If it weren’t for her, you would have embarrassed the Shan family.”

These words caused Shan Shu’s expression to change. Her voice was a little cold as she said, “I didn’t ask my little sister to stand up for me.”

“She’s making it difficult for me to go back to my in-laws’ house now. She beat Zhou Yang up so badly. How am I going to explain it to my in-laws?”

Han Xing was so angry that he wanted to laugh. What kind of person was this? It was fine if she didn’t thank Shan Ling for helping her, but she even felt that Shan Ling had done something wrong.

When Shan Ling heard this, she was not surprised at all. She nodded and said, “Yes, I should have watched you get beaten to death by Zhou Yang.”

“You chose your own marriage, and you chose your own husband. If we’re not family, we won’t enter the same family. I finally understand the truth of this saying.”

Shan Shu’s face turned pale when she heard Shan Ling’s words. Of course, she knew that Shan Ling was mocking her, but she could not bring herself to do so.

If Han Xing had not stepped forward, Shan Ling would still have been beaten up today.

She felt much better when she thought of how Shan Ling would have been beaten up. However, when she thought of what Shan Qingyuan had just said, complicated emotions kept churning in her heart.

Was Shan Ling really that amazing? Now, she could already build a relationship with the Zhao family and the Chen family. Even her father-in-law had to show respect to these families and not argue with Shan Ling.

The more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became. The intense jealousy made her tongue ache. Shan Ling wasn’t as pretty as her and was also rebellious. What right did she have to get what she didn’t?

Shan Qingyuan glanced at the injuries on Shan Shu’s face and frowned slightly. “Alright, you should hurry and get your face checked. Today’s embarrassing matter will end here. Shan Ling, come with me. I have something to discuss with you.”

Shan Ling couldn’t be bothered about Shan Shu anymore. She wouldn’t help such an ingrate again. She waved at Han Xing.

“Han Xing, don’t just stand there. You’re my personal bodyguard.”

Han Xing glanced at Shan Qingyuan and saw that he really nodded. It was obvious that he had something to say to him. He was suspicious and followed the two of them to the center of the worship venue..
