章節 8: Who Dares to Touch My Woman?!
編輯: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Mother!" Gu Jiaoxue stomped her foot beside Cai Ya and whined, "Look at her attitude! She's so arrogant even when she's wrong!"
Cai Ya stood up from her chair with some documents in her hand. She approached Huo Weiwu, her sharp eyes locked on her figure, and asked in a stern voice, "Are you the one who hit Jiaoxue today?"
Huo Weiwu glanced at Gu Jiaoxue, pursed her lips, and then met Cai Ya's eyes. "Auntie, do you think I have the guts to do that?"
"I do think you're someone with a lot of guts. Jiaoxue told me that you are forcing Ting to marry you," Cai Ya retorted.
"Gu Haoting is a tyrant—He only needs to stomp his foot for all of Ningchuan to tremble. Auntie, what qualifications do you think I have to coerce him like that?" asked Huo Weiwu.
"Indecent people like you are full of despicable means. How would I know what you resorted to? Let me tell you, though, I'll never agree to your marriage. Don't even dream about rising above your position and soaring like a phoenix," declared Cai Ya.
She whacked Huo Weiwu's face with the documents in her hand and quickly followed with another stern question. "Jiaoxue went through a miscarriage because of you. What do you plan to do about that?"
Huo Weiwu raised her eyebrows. "She was perfectly fine when I left."
"Would my daughter and son-in-law accuse you for no reason? Who do you think you are, thinking that we would have to scheme and plot against you?" Cai Ya hollered with her eyes widened in rage.
Huo Weiwu glanced at Wei Yankang through her peripheral vision. Her gaze grew significantly colder as she asked, "Was I the one who caused Jiaoxue's miscarriage?
Gu Jiaoxue tightened her grip around Wei Yankang's arm and gave it a tug.
Wei Yankang's eyes flickered. His eyebrows knitted as he mumbled persuasively, "Weiwu, Jiaoxue was prone to a miscarriage in the first place. You shouldn't have pushed her."
"Who pushed her?" Huo Weiwu pursed her lips as an unexpected wave of pain was reflected in her eyes.
"But these people are not qualified to see me in misery," she thought.
Huo Weiwu gazed at Cai Ya and smiled lazily before asking, "You just want to pin this on me, so don't bother conjuring up more excuses. Tell me, what do you guys want from me?"
"We're not in need of money. Instead, we want an eye for an eye. It's great that you admitted it." Cai Ya then raised her voice toward the staff. "Get Director Zhang to come to our house with the police. And hire the best lawyer. I don't want her to see her released from prison in this lifetime."
As they waited for the relevant personnel could arrive, Gu Haoting's stern voice rang out, "I want to see who dares to touch my woman and throw her into jail without my permission!"
...
A group of soldiers rushed in and stood in two neat lines. Gu Haoting walked gracefully into the mansion and, under the circumstances, calmly turned to regard Cai Ya with a straight face.
The moment Cai Ya saw Gu Haoting, her earlier tyranny vanished without a trace. In a benevolent voice, she cooed, "Child, how can you take the side of an outsider when the person who went through a miscarriage is your beloved younger sister?"
"Exactly, big brother. Huo Weiwu did this to me on purpose… She said that she wanted me to suffer a miscarriage," Gu Jiaoxue whined indignantly as she ran over to Gu Haoting, seeking his support.
"How exactly did she push you?" Gu Haoting asked, his face unchanging.
"She pushed me with both hands," said Gu Jiaoxue while imitating how it happened.
"What time did she push you?"
"Around 10:00 A.M."
"Where did she push you?"
To convince her brother, Gu Jiaoxue confessed where she'd been. "The third floor of the gynecological department. I swear she pushed me… Everyone saw it happen."
Gu Haoting turned to his man. "Lieutenant Guo, did you catch that? Find me the surveillance video. On top of that, a nurse probably would have witnessed this. Ensure the eternal disappearance of whomever dares to lie in that industry."
Gu Jiaoxue's face instantly turned pale.
