Chapter 184: Chapter 185 – A Family?

She didn’t want to do it, she wanted to run away, but her father dragged her back, pressing her into the couch and beating her severely, causing her unbearable pain.
When she pretended to be dead, her father kept hitting her.
The pain became too much for her. Crying and limping, she went into the kitchen and washed all the bowls and chopsticks.
It was just one morning, and she felt she couldn’t get through such days.
But her father told her that this would be her life until she rectified her behavior.
She regretted it all deeply by now.
If she had known that bullying that shorty would result in such harsh punishment, she would have kept as far away from the shorty as possible.
Her entire body was in pain. After breakfast, she only wanted to lie down in her room, but she was dragged here to apologize.
After being disciplined, she realized her father was not like her grandparent’s. No matter how much she cried, her father would not be lenient. Even though she felt like she was about to die of pain, she still came.
She hid behind her father. Seeing him deeply bow ninety degrees to the parents of the shorty she had bullied, she felt uneasy and fearful.
Xin City bowed deeply to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, held out the black gold bank card with both hands, and sincerely said, “Young Master Gu, Madam Gu, my daughter is insubordinate. She injured your son. It’s all her fault. I have strictly disciplined her. Please spare her this time for being young. I promise I’ll teach her properly in the future to be a righteous and kind person.”
He looked sincere, with handsome and masculine features. His upright demeanor easily won people over.
Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but lament that the old couple from the Yi family were really clueless.
If Yi Xingling had been brought up by a father like Xin City, she definitely wouldn’t have turned out the way she is now.
Gu Junzhu took the bank card and gestured, “Sit.”
The information Gu Chi found showed Xin City was a good person.
A good person and has done well in his official capacity. He is capable, conscientious, and knows right from wrong.
Unfortunately, he just has lousy luck to end up with a pair of brainless in-laws.
He had no intention of making things difficult for Xin City.
Although the saying goes, “The father’s fault lies in not teaching his son”, Yi Xingling injured Xiao Shumiao, Xin City had to take the blame, but considering his circumstances, he is forgivable.
Naturally, he occasionally has a streak of devilishness, seeking tenfold revenge for any displeasure caused to him but does not have a penchant for “indiscriminate killing”.
Credits and debts are recorded, crimes and culprits noted.
Never let a bad person go, but don’t involve innocents either.
Too much is as bad as too little. Knowing when to stop is best.
These are the principles he lives by.
“I won’t sit,” Xin City politely said, “If Young Master Gu has no other orders, I’ll take my leave. I will open an account for your son in the hospital for all future medical and nutritional expenses. When you take your son for follow-up visits, you can use that account.”
Gu Junzhu chuckled and didn’t refuse.
It’s only natural for the father to pay the medical expenses when a daughter injures someone.
Xin City said goodbye and left.
Ye Xingbei was in a good mood. He turned his head to Gu Junzhu and said, “If Yi Xingling would reform herself after this incident and grow up to be as upright and fair as her father, our family would have done a good deed.”
Rescuing a child who barely lost her way, so that the world, ten years later, gains a good girl and loses a scourge, such a deed is deeply satisfying.
“Family?” Gu Junzhu smiled at the corners of his lips, considered for a moment, then nodded, “Yes, our family has done a great thing!”
