The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

Chapter 254 Can I treat you to dinner?

Caught off guard, An Qiqi was slapped so hard that her head spun and she lost the ability to think for a moment.

Hearing An Qiqi's scream, Duan Haisheng slowly walked down from the second floor.

"What's going on? Auntie, what brings you here?"

Duan Wenxue was only a few years older than him, but she always exuded a terrifying pressure, especially her eyes, which were eerie and sinister.

Therefore, Duan Haisheng did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of her.

No one helped An Qiqi up; she had to get up on her own, her eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Why did you hit me!

For no reason at all, do you really think she's easy to bully?

Duan Wenxue sneered, "What are you doing! An Qiqi, you know perfectly well why I hit you. You really are an ingrate, eating and using the Duan family's food, and you still dare to play tricks on the Duan family. I think you're really asking for death!"

Upon hearing this, panic and guilt flashed in An Qiqi's eyes. Did she already know?

impossible!

She won't have any evidence; she's definitely trying to harm herself.

There can be no chaos.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Aunt. If I did something wrong, just tell me. Why did you hit me?"

Duan Haisheng also asked, "Yes, Aunt, what did she do to make you so angry?"

Duan Wenxue stared intently at An Qiqi with a sinister gaze, as if she wanted to bore a hole through her.

An Qiqi felt a chill.

Unlike Song Shuyue's aloofness and sharpness, her eyes had a sinister chill.

"I'll give you a chance. Say it yourself and think about how to admit your mistake."

An Qiqi gritted her teeth and didn't say a word. She was certain that Duan Wenxue had no evidence!

He just wanted to blow himself up.

She'd be an idiot if she revealed her true colors.

She's not stupid; she'll only stand up to her if she produces evidence.

"I don't know what you're saying anymore."

Duan Wenxue never expected that An Qiqi would still be so stubborn even when facing death.

He grabbed An Qiqi's hair, and his sinister smile sent chills down An Qiqi's spine.

"An Qiqi, do you really think I don't know? Duan Haisheng is your husband, and you actually reported him, ruining the Duan family's reputation. What good does that do you? Tell me!"

An Qiqi's pupils suddenly dilated, and she broke out in a cold sweat, not because they knew about this.

It was Duan Wenxue's gaze that was too eerie and terrifying.

An Qiqi swallowed hard. Duan Wenxue released her and wiped her hands in disgust.

"I don't want to say much, An Qiqi, why did you do this?"

Duan Haisheng's parents stared in astonishment, pointing at An Qiqi and cursing, "So it was you, you bitch! You dare to harm my son! You're asking for death!"

An Qiqi persisted in her version of events.

"Auntie, what are you saying? I really don't know. Have you been misunderstood by someone? I love my husband so much, I could only possibly harm him. Husband and wife are one, I know that principle. Or does Auntie have any evidence?"

Duan Wenxue's sharp gaze swept across her face.

I never expected that this brat An Qiqi would be so cunning.

You're sure she has no evidence, aren't you?

So what? In the Duan family, whatever she says goes, and no one dares to defy her. That's the rule.

"Duan Haisheng, she's your woman. How you handle this is your business. But if it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Duan Wenxue turned and left, giving An Qiqi a meaningful look.

Very good, you dare to question her.

"Slap!" Duan Haisheng slapped her across the face, and An Qiqi fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood and clenching her fists.

"It really was you! An Qiqi, you ingrate, you dare to stab me, I'll beat you to death."

As he spoke, Duan Haisheng pulled out his belt and continued to beat and scold An Qiqi.

His parents were still shouting and yelling at him to hit harder.

An Qiqi gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, her hatred for the Duan family growing ever stronger.

After an unknown amount of time, An Qiqi's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Jin Gongque never imagined that she would be extorted while in the hospital.

I had just finished asking about my grandmother's condition when I walked into the corridor and brushed past an old lady. Without saying a word, the old lady collapsed to the ground and wouldn't get up.

The palace was startled and bent down to investigate.

The old woman grabbed her foot and wailed, "I hit someone! I hit someone! Everyone come quick! This little girl hit me, and now she's coming to the hospital but won't pay me back. She's trying to run away! Help! Help!"

Jin Gongque was startled. Seeing more and more people, she was a little at a loss, but she still calmly explained, "It wasn't me. I didn't touch you at all. You're trying to scam me."

"It was her, it was her! She saw that I was an old lady and didn't pose any threat, so she tried to just leave! My back is killing me!"

"It wasn't me, grandma. There are security cameras here. If you keep bothering me, I'll call the police."

The palace is now simple, because she is not stupid.

I know she did it on purpose.

Upon hearing this, the old woman wailed even louder, “Young people these days have no conscience! No conscience at all! I’m such a miserable old woman, to run into someone like this. She hit me, took me to the hospital, and then abandoned me before I even paid anything. Look at how well she dresses, and look at her, she won’t even pay my tens of thousands of yuan in medical bills!”

People around her started pointing and gossiping about her, and some well-meaning people even asked her for money.

The palace is truly a victim of injustice.

Not only did they get scammed, but they were also criticized by others.

"If you don't get up, I'm calling the police."

Upon hearing the alarm, a fleeting look of guilt and panic crossed the old woman's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, rolled her eyes back, and began to convulse on the ground.

Jin Gongque quickly called for a doctor, and at that moment two men appeared out of nowhere.

He grabbed her, preventing her from leaving, and said, "You woman, what did you do to my mother?"

"You murderer, you killed my mother! Pay up, pay up!"

“It wasn’t me, it has nothing to do with me,” Jin Gongque explained.

The two men ignored her explanations completely. "If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have fallen. You're the culprit. Pay up, 500,000!"

"Yes, pay up, hurry up."

"When someone falls to the ground, instead of helping them, you're demanding compensation. Have you forgotten this is a hospital?"

A voice rang out, and Jin Gongque turned around to look; it was Song Yanzhou.

She grabbed Song Yanzhou's hand and pleaded, "Mr. Song, please help me. It wasn't me. It has nothing to do with me."

Suddenly, Song Yanzhou's heart skipped a beat as a pair of small, soft hands grasped his. It was her.

The eldest daughter of the Jin family whom I sent home last time.

The little girl was exquisitely beautiful, like a little princess, pretty and adorable.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Song Yanzhou shielded the person behind him, and Jin Gongque obediently hid behind him, feeling an overwhelming sense of security, his heart pounding like thunder.

“Mr. Song, I didn’t encounter this old lady. She fell down on her own and couldn’t get up.”

When the two men saw Song Yanzhou, a man who clearly wasn't simple, their voices softened.

"Who are you? This is between us and her. Mind your own business."

Song Yanzhou's height of 1.9 meters and above was enough to frighten anyone at first glance. "The doctor is here. The person on the ground pretending to be sick can go into the operating room."

"Make way, make way, I need to see the patient."

The doctor rushed over and immediately checked on the person on the ground.

The old lady wasn't sick at all; upon hearing that she was going into the operating room, she immediately sat up straight.

"I'm fine, I'm fine now. What happened just now?"

Song Yanzhou sneered, "I suspect these three are repeat offenders. I've already called the police. I'll trouble you all to stop them."

"So that's how it is. We almost misunderstood that little girl."

"Yeah, no one gets better all at once. It's an act, it must be an act."

"Stop them and see where they run."

"The police are here, everyone block them."

"Quick, quick, don't let them get away."

"I'm so sorry, young lady. Luckily your husband came, otherwise you would have been at a disadvantage."

The middle-aged woman who had just demanded compensation from the palace said apologetically.

Jin Gongque quickly waved her hands and shook her head, "No, it wasn't me, it was him and me."

"Let's go first."

As Song Yanzhou spoke, he led her away. Jin Gongque's heart was pounding wildly, unable to contain itself. Why was her heart beating so fast at this moment? Why was she so happy? She felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

"Next time you encounter something like this, be sure to call the police immediately, or bring a few bodyguards with you when you go out."

When they reached a quiet, grassy area, Song Yanzhou gave her some instructions.

Jin Gongque lowered her head shyly, her raven-feather-like eyelashes trembling, which made Song Yanzhou's heart itch. He didn't know why, but he actually wanted to reach out and touch those slightly uneasy, trembling eyelashes.

He must be sick.

However, she was very pretty, wearing a pink mini-skirt and pink hair clips.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Song. May I treat you to a meal?"

Jin Gongque bit her lip and looked up at him.

Song Yanzhou had a serious face and his eyes were full of ruthlessness. His tall and burly figure made Jin Gongque, who was only 1.6 meters tall, look extremely petite.

Jin Gongque thought to herself that he would probably refuse.

After all, they had only met a few times, and she was being so disrespectful by inviting them to dinner.

"it is good."

Jin Gongque looked at him in disbelief, "What did you say?"

A smile appeared on Song Yanzhou's lips, his brows sharp, and with that smile, he was absolutely captivating.

"Weren't you inviting me to dinner?"

Jin Gongque was stunned. When she came to her senses, she felt embarrassed and her face flushed red in an instant, as tempting as a peach.

"Hmm, yes."

Song Yanzhou: "Get in the car."

"Oh, good."

Xie family

Xie Junchen walked into the living room and saw that everyone was there. He swaggered onto the sofa, looking lazy and casual, with his eyes half-closed.

"Why did you call me back?"

"What are you doing! What are you doing now! I'll beat you to death, you brat!" Xie's father said, reaching for his belt.

Xie Junchen was startled and quickly hid to the side.

"Old man, if you dare to hit me, don't force me to turn on you!"

Mr. Xie was furious. "You're turning your back on me! I'm your father, you little brat!"

Xie Junchen showed no fear, his deep eyes revealing a hint of indifference.
