14 I’ll Kneel

Shi Tao smiled bitterly in her heart. It seemed like she was going to suffer today. Sure enough, after a while, Old Master Qin interrupted her apology and said angrily.

"Shi Tao, you know why you were able to marry into the family. I thought you were a good girl. Your parents taught you well, but it seems that's not the case."

When Shi Tao heard that, her heart skipped a beat. What did Grandpa Qin mean? Was he blaming himself for seeing the wrong person, or was he blaming his parents for lying to him? She had already married into the family. Was she going to ruin the contract that the two families had signed?

"Shi Tao, from now on, you have to kneel here obediently. You know that in the Qin family, there are things you shouldn't think about and things you shouldn't do."

Old Master Qin looked at Shi Tao's pale face and said slowly.

"Grandpa, I…..

Old Master Qin glared and Shi Tao could no longer speak.

She knew that her tardiness today had really angered Grandpa Qin. He had no interest in finding out the reason for her tardiness. He only wanted to teach her a lesson and make her learn the rules.

She had to accept this lesson, because the old man was threatening her parents with the Shi family.

If these words came out of Qin Zhan's mouth, she might even be able to rebut him because she knew that Old Master Qin was still suppressing the contract. However, if the Old Master also hated her and the Shi family, then the family would only make things worse.

Shi Tao turned his head to look at Qin Zhan. She did not know why Qin Zhan was so ruthless and wanted to toy with her. She was merely his wife on paper. Why did he have to fall out with her? She had never thought of making it real, nor had she thought of seducing him.

In fact, she had already made up her mind to wait for the Shi family's crisis to be resolved. If he wanted a divorce, she would not delay it. If he was not around then, she would be willing to spend a few years with him.

However, it was obvious that Qin Zhan never thought that way. Just the fact that she was Mrs. Qin was a thorn in his side.

Qin Zhan, oh Qin Zhan, you are really heartless.

She actually thought that he could put in a good word for Grandpa Qin, but this scene was probably what he wanted to see the most.

Qin Zhan noticed Shi Tao's gaze but his expression did not change. He did not even lift his eyelids. Just as Shi Tao thought, Qin Zhan did not feel that he had done anything wrong. Instead, he was very satisfied to see his grandfather angry and disappointed with this woman. He did it on purpose. He had to find an excuse to chase this woman out of the Qin family.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I'll kneel…

Shi Tao retracted her gaze and looked apologetically at Old Master Qin before kneeling on the ground.

Such a straightforward action surprised Old Master Qin. He was prepared to hear her retort or find an excuse, but he didn't expect her to accept his punishment so naturally. This action made Old Master Qin's expression look better.

Shi Tao felt the pressure in front of her diminish. She raised his head and smiled at Old Master Qin before lowering her head again. Her gaze was calm and gentle, as if she did not think that Old Master Qin's punishment for kneeling was punishment.

No matter what, she would have room to salvage the situation if the Old Master's attitude was gentle.

She really didn't want to take another look at Qin Zhan, but she couldn't get a single bit of disgust from Old Master Qin.
