Kneel Before Me

"Oh, my son-in-law is here." Yan Dong remained seated and his attitude was arrogant. "I don't want to resort to violence either, but Yan Xi's behavior is getting worse and worse. She needs to be properly disciplined. Don't interfere in this matter."

While they were talking, Gu Er had already helped Yan Xi up. She walked to Gu Shen's side and gripped the back of the wheelchair tightly.

Gu Shen did not stop him. Instead, he instructed Gu Er to find a chair.

Yan Xi started to complain when she felt more comfortable. She looked extremely aggrieved.

"Hubby, they bullied me and even wanted to hit me with that whip!"

Under Gu Shen's gaze, the bodyguard holding the whip shuddered and almost threw the whip away.

"Yan Xi is my wife. If she needs to be disciplined, it will be me who does it."

Yan Dong was amused by his words. He was a cripple, yet he was still protecting others.

If not for the Yangzhou Spring Levee, he would have beaten Gu Shen too.

"Aren't we a family? From what you said, you seem to take me as an outsider. Just go down and rest so that this whip won't accidentally land on you."

Yan Xi admired Yan Dong's courage. He actually dared to speak to Gu Shen like this. After today, the Yan family would definitely lose a bunch of businesses.

Gu Shen did not answer. Yan Dong wanted to say something more when his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and said nicely, "Hello."

It wasn't clear what the other party said, but it caused Yan Dong to skip a beat. He raised his head and looked at Gu Shen in surprise.

All sorts of emotions were mixed in his eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Dong paused for a moment and said, his voice trembling, "It's a misunderstanding, my dear son-in-law. I was just trying to bluff her." He smiled as if nothing had happened. "It's all a misunderstanding.

"Dad, what are you talking about!" Yan Qi shouted unhappily, "This little bitch beat me up like this, and you're letting her go?"

"Little b*tch?" Gu Shen repeated this sentence as he looked at Yan Dong with an oppressive gaze. "She insulted Yan Xi like this. Aren't you going to discipline her properly?"

"She is just a kid!" Yan Dong smiled and glared at Yan Qi. "Apologize to your sister now! If this happens again, I won't forgive you."

"Dad?" Yan Qi was stunned for a moment. She didn't know what to do.

"Why should I apologize to her? I haven't even done anything to her and she pushed me into the pool! You don't punish her, but instead, you scold me!"

Realizing what was happening, Luo Yun pinched Yan Qi's thigh, saying, "Yan Qi! Apologize to your sister!"

"You were the one who wanted to hit her. Father was the one who made her kneel. I didn't do anything. Why should I apologize?"

The idea that Gu Shen was a good-for-nothing cripple was already deeply rooted in Yan Qi's mind. She had no clue who he truly was, so she naturally didn't understand why Yan Dong and Luo Yun took such a sharp turn in their attitudes.

The atmosphere froze and the smile on Yan Dong's face became very forced.

He had no choice but to say to Yan Xi, ""Xi, I apologize on Yan Qi's behalf. You know that she doesn't have any bad intentions. She is just a little bad-tempered."

Yan Xi cleared her throat. "Since you want to apologize, show some sincerity."

"Go ahead." As long as Gu Shen was not angry, he was willing to do anything.

"You forced me to my knees. Luo Yun wanted to slap me in the face. The bodyguard kicked me several times in the leg." Her lips curled into a sly smile. "I'll forgive you once you kneel before me."
