Chapter 14: A Slap

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

In the villa, An Linghe and Cao Qin were already sitting on the sofa.

However, An Linghe’s expression was not good, while Cao Qin’s face was smiling, but it seemed to have a hint of mockery.

Song Yunshu changed out of her slippers and went to the living room.

After the servants put down the things they had brought, they went out and waited outside.

Song Yunshu entered the living room. Before she could sit down, she heard her aunt Cao Qin’s sarcastic voice.

“Yunshu, it’s not that I want to criticize you. But it’s only the first day of marriage, and Huo Cen is leaving you behind and letting you come back alone. It’s ridiculous. Have you ever heard of a bride coming back on her own? You’re already married into the Huo family, so you have to prioritize Huo Cen in everything. Take good care of him so that you can help your uncle more in the future, do you understand?”

Song Yunshu remained calm despite Cao Qin’s lecture.

She put on an inconspicuous appearance, making it difficult for others to guess her thoughts.

After Cao Qin finished speaking, she subconsciously looked at her husband beside her and gave him the right to speak.

An Linghe’s face looked very unhappy.

He didn’t want to deal with Cao Qin or Song Yunshu.

He had thought that Huo Cen would come today and had been in a good mood for the whole day, but it was shattered at this moment.

It was simply terrible.

“Sit down. If you keep standing, it will make people feel as if we are bullying you.”

Song Yunshu pursed her lips and grabbed her bag and sat down on the sofa.

When An Jiaqing came downstairs, she immediately saw Song Yunshu sitting on the sofa. Then, she looked around the house anxiously.

Before she could even come down the stairs, she asked impatiently, “Where’s Big Brother Huo? Why didn’t he come along with you?”

An Jiaqing asked as she went down the stairs.

In fact, she was still hoping deep down that Huo Cen would accept her again.

Even now, she still felt that the video that night was deliberately released by someone to frame her.

Perhaps as long as she explained things clearly to Huo Cen and the Huo family, she would still have a chance to sit in the position of Young Mistress of the Huo family.

When Cao Qin saw her daughter coming downstairs, she immediately stood up and reached out to pull her daughter to her side.

“Huo Cen didn’t come. Yunshu came today. How are you? You were drunk yesterday. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? I had Auntie prepare some hangover soup for you, Sister Chen.”

An Jiaqing didn’t pay any attention to her mother. Instead, she pushed Cao Qin’s hand away and strode straight to Song Yunshu. Her eyes fell on Song Yunshu, sizing her up from left to right.

While everyone was confused and puzzled, An Jiaqing raised her hand unexpectedly and slapped Song Yunshu’s face heavily.

“Pa-”

The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the large living room.

Song Yunshu was inexplicably slapped, and her head was turned to the side by the force of the blow.

In an instant, a clear palm print was left on her originally fair and smooth face.

An Jiaqing looked at Song Yunshu as if she wanted to eat her up.

“I’ve been thinking about it, and you’re the one who benefited the most from embarrassing me and ruining the marriage proposal for me. So, the only person who has a reason to frame me is you, Song Yunshu. My parents and my family have treated you well, so why did you snatch Big Brother Huo from me?”

Song Yunshu covered the half of her face that was slapped.

Her tongue was pressed against the wall of her mouth, and a flash of anger flickered in her eyes.

An Jiaqing felt that one slap wasn’t enough. She grabbed Song Yunshu’s arm and was about to slap her again, but she was stopped by someone.

“Stop!”
