A clear and crisp slap sound rang out throughout the villa. Everyone in the house, including the servants, froze. They looked at the person who did so in disbelief.
Initially, Zhao Youxi fainted. He immediately regained his senses from his daze after being slapped by Zhao Shuncheng. He fell to the ground and covered his very sick cheek. He shouted in disbelief, “Dad, what are you doing ?! Why did you slap me?!”
Li Hongyu was shocked by the sight before him. He immediately reacted and rushed to Zhao Youxi's side. He sat down on his knees and touched his daughter's cheeks that were flushed with heartache. He said pitifully, "Youxi, does it hurt?"
Zhao Youxi had never suffered such a complaint before. She covered her face and sobbed, “This, Mother! It hurts so much!”
Li Hongyu's heart was broken as her daughter cried. He turned around and shouted at the servants, “Take some cold water for the young lady. Speed up!"
After shouting at them, he turned around and looked at Zhao Shuncheng. Although he rarely heard a dissatisfied tone from her, he actually sounded even more pitiful and sad, “Shuncheng, what are you doing? Why can't you speak calmly? Why should you attack our son ?!”
At that moment, Zhao Shuncheng even thought of strangling Zhao Youxi to death, let alone slapping her.
“Talk calmly? Before you say that to me, ask your daughter what she has done ?!”
Li Hongyu widened her eyes as Zhao Shuncheng yelled furiously at her. Ever since she joined the Zhao family with her two children, she had barely seen Zhao Shuncheng become so enraged, especially towards the mother-daughter couple.
"Youxi, tell me, what have you done?" Li Hongyu panicked. He turned around and asked his daughter who was in his arms.
Zhao Youxi had no idea the situation would become like this. He muttered, “What have I done? I didn't do anything!"
Zhao Youxi's stubbornness in not willing to admit her mistake once again inflames Zhao Shuncheng's anger. He raised his hand and was about to attack her again, “You did nothing?! Otherwise, why would he have proof of your crime?! If you didn't do it, how could he kick you out of the Zhao Enterprise without hesitation? If you don't do it, why are you so nervous that you reveal everything over his provocation? You admit your own crime!”
Zhao Youxi hurriedly immersed herself into Li Hongyu's arms when Zhao Shuncheng was about to attack her again.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Shuncheng stopped his hand movements. In the end, he didn't hit her. He snorted and swung his hand to the side violently. Then, he turned around.
Zhao Youxi let out a sigh of relief. Soon after, he seemed to realize something, and he shouted, "Dad, did you go and look for that virgin ?!"
Li Hongyu hugged her daughter tightly. When he heard this, his expression changed. 'So, Zhao Shuncheng went to see the virgin today?'
No wonder he found her acting strange today. It must have been the virgin who said something to her that resulted in her misunderstanding about the mother-daughter couple!
A hint of evil and hatred flashed in Li Hongyu's eyes. However, he hid it so well that no one could notice it.
“Creating a wedge between us? Are you referring to Youulin ?!” Zhao Shuncheng put on a flat face and asked in a low voice.
Li Hongyu did not answer. The pitiful look under the wolf's skin showed that he acknowledged what he said.
A loud explosion sounded. The sound of ceramics breaking into pieces was heard throughout the villa. Li Hongyu and Zhao Youxi watched the vase pass them, fell to the ground, and broke into pieces. Their entire bodies unwittingly stiffened.
The two froze for some time before they shivered as they reacted to this. Terror really happens.
Meanwhile, Zhao Shuncheng seemed to be unaware of their fear. He still did not feel enough after smashing the vase and, he simply took anything on the table and smashed it to the ground.
In an instant, the house had nothing but various lacing sounds.
Li Hongyu hugged Zhao Youxi tightly in her hands, unwilling to let go even if it had to sacrifice her life as she watched Zhao Shuncheng explode in horror.
Zhao Shuncheng smashed things all over the place. Finally, his anger subsided a little. He suddenly turned around and saw the mother-daughter couple who were crouching on the floor. His face was back black.
Under the frightened gazes of the two, he went up and grabbed Li Hongyu's wrist. He lifted.
"Mother!" Zhao Youxi shouted in a high-pitched voice. He did not care about others and lunged at Zhao Shuncheng. But, Zhao Shuncheng pushed him aside.
Li Hongyu was shocked when she saw Zhao Youxi being pushed down and exclaimed, "Youxi!"
Before he finished crying, he had been dragged away by Zhao Shuncheng. Li Hongyu looked at him with teary eyes and said in a low voice, "Schencheng ..."
However, Zhao Shuncheng snorted at her and said something that scared her, “I used to have a lot of mistresses outside. However, I was just staring at you. I made you pregnant with my children and even brought you back to the Zhao family. The reason for all this is because I admire your obedience and understanding behavior. But, I never expected..in the end, I was wrong!”.
“A-I.. I don't.. Shuncheng, listen to me. I don't ..." Li Hongyu really did not know why Zhao Shuncheng turned into a man who completely changed after one trip. He was eager to explain himself but he did not know where to start.
Zhao Shuncheng did not plan on giving him a chance to defend himself. Her face darkened, and she cut it off, “No matter what, Youlin is my daughter. Although I have no feelings for his mother, Youlin still carries my blood. In the meantime, I think you have at least provided all the necessary necessities for her and made sure she grows up healthy even though you can't treat her as well as you did for Youxi. However, you .. disappointed me ... "
Right after Zhao Shuncheng spoke, Li Hongyu's expression changed drastically. He thought, 'Indeed, that virgin has filed a complaint about me to Zhao Shuncheng!' Immediately after, he put on a heart-wrenching expression and said with teary eyes, "Who ...who told you about all this? Is that Youlin? Was it Youlin who told you that I had mistreated him in the past? Shuncheng, I already know that Youlin hates me because of his mother's incident all this time. But I never put him in a difficult position. We've been together as a couple for years, would you rather trust a princess who wants to break up with you than me?"
A hint of doubt appeared in Zhao Shuncheng's eyes. He quickly put his thoughts to the back of his mind and sneered. He pushed Li Hongyu to the ground, “It is precisely because I trusted you wholeheartedly and ended up being fooled by you! You said Youlin was holding a grudge against you because of his mother's incident but from what I see, it's you who can't tolerate it because he's not your blood and flesh!"
