Chapter 15 Sir, Please Punish Us
Chapter 15 Sir, Please Punish Us
Li Er was mad at the Shen family for provoking Ye Fan.
But after he had calmed down, he began to think of a plan to save the Shen family.
After all, Li Er had been operating in Yunzhou for many years and, during that time, the Shen family
had made themselves useful to him. Most of his funds came from the Shen family.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Er did not want to abandon the Shen family.
Finally, after facing a barrage of pleas from Shen Jiu-Yi, a composed Li Er sighed and said, "Alright,
since you have served me faithfully all these years and because it was really your son's fault, I will see
what I can do. Maybe I can beg for forgivness on your behalf. As for you two, you are not getting any
rest tonight. Get your ass over there and grovel in front of Young Master Fan."
"Thank you, Master Er. Thank you, Master Er." The desperation in Shen Jiu-Yi was clear to see. After
giving thanks to Li Er, he left the Li family villa with his son.
Yunzhou City People's Hospital.
"Mu-Cheng, are you feeling better?"
In the hospital ward, when Ye Fan saw that Qiu Mu-Cheng had woken up, he offered her an apple he
had peeled earlier.
Qiu Mu-Cheng had already regained her frosty demeanour. In the past, she would simply ignore Ye
Fan. She did not know since when, but her attitude toward Ye Fan had been slowly changing. So she
unconsciously accepted the apple from Ye Fan, and even thanked him for it.
"Could it be that, I have fallen in love with this man?"
But she squashed the thought as soon as it appeared. A proud woman like Qiu Mu-Cheng would never
allow herself to fall in love with a mediocre man. That was Qiu Mu-Cheng's pride as a woman.
Ye Fan shook his head and smile. "There is no need for a husband and wife to stand on ceremony with
each other."
Qiu Mu-Cheng said nothing. She bowed her head and ate the apple in silence. However, a blush could
be seen on her exquisite face.
"Oh by the way, how's my grandfather doing? And the Qiu family, how are they doing?" Qiu Mu-Cheng
suddenly remembered the problems plaguing her family, so she turned worriedly to Ye Fan for
answers.
Ye Fan's expression turned grave. He looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng and asked, "Mu-Cheng, don't you hate Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
the Qiu family? You still worry about them after what they have done to you."
Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Blood is thicker than water. They are still my
relatives and my elders, no matter how mean they are. I owe them for raising and educating me. And
the Qiu family is where my roots are. Can you sever blood and family ties so easily? Also, it is my fault
this time. I am the one who got the Qiu family into trouble.”
Even now, this kind-hearted girl only knew how to blame herself and her words were full of self-
reproach.
Ye Fan sighed. "You silly girl.”
"Alright, we shall let them off this time. The Qius are really fortunate to have a niece like you. And
Master Qiu should be counting his lucky stars for having you as his granddaughter."
Ye Fan's words made Qiu Mu-Cheng confused.
"Let them off? Ye Fan, are you hiding something from me?"
Ye Fan shook his head and smile. "It's nothing. Oh, that's right. Your grandfather is staying at this
hospital too. I will take you to see him."
"Okay."
Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded and left the room with Ye Fan.
"Wen-Fei, have you heard anything from
your father yet?"
"Can he help or not?"
Qiu Mu-Ying was pacing around the room and bombarding Chu Wen-Fei with questions.
After all, her father was still being held for questioning and she had not heard anything from him for an
entire day. It was only natural for her to be worried.
"Ying-Ying, don't rush Wen-Fei. Such things cannot be rushed. We can only do our best and leave the
rest to fate." Master Qiu was still resting on his sick bed and his words were frail, like his health.
Worrying about the calamity facing his family had caused him to age overnight. And now he looked
several decades older than he really was.
Just as the Qius were worrying themselves to death, the door to the ward was pushed open and Ye
Fan entered with Qiu Mu-Cheng.
"Shit, how dare you show your face around here?”
"Our family is in such sad straits all thanks to you!"
"My father has been arrested and his whereabouts is still unknown. Grandfather nearly died from shock
because of you. Don't you feel guilty?"
When she saw Ye Fan and her cousin, Qiu Mu-Ying's eyes turned bloodshot and she started raging at
the couple.
Qiu Mu-Hong and her husband, Jiang Yang, were also unhappy. "Please leave. You are not welcomed
here."
"What do we have here? One useless husband who's a piece of trash. Someone who can't do anything
right."
"And the other one is pretending to be weak and trying to solicit pity for herself.
You two are a good match for each other!”
"Just looking at you makes me sick. Get out!" Wang Qiao-Yu was sent into the throes of rage when she
saw Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng.
Needless to say, the other relatives also started criticizing Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng.
After all, in the eyes of the Qiu family members, the calamity facing them was entirely the fault of Ye
Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng.
When she heard the hurtful words coming from her relatives, Qiu Mu-Cheng's already pale complexion
turned paler. She did not try to defend herself, but said softly: "I am only here to see grandfather. I will
just take a look and then leave. I have no intention of disturbing my elders."
"Hmph, look at me? I am just an old bag of bones. I can't shoulder the burden!" With a huff, Master Qiu
turned his back on Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng.
"Are you deaf? Grandfather says he doesn't want to see you. So can you get lost?" Qiu Mu-Ying
screamed at her cousin.
"Get lost!" Wang Qiao-Yu followed suit.
"Get lost'
In the hospital ward, almost every member of the Qiu family was screaming and their voices resounded
through the room.
Qiu Mu-Cheng stopped talking. She bowed her head, boundless grief swirling about in her heart.
As Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng stood in the midst of everyone's hostilities, it looked as if the world had
abandoned them. The light flickered and cast a shadow beneath them.
Splash~
Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes had turned red. Tear drops rolled down her face and hit the floor, where they
shattered.
Just by holding her hand, Ye Fan could clearly feel her body trembling.
He said in a low voice, "Mu-Cheng, let's go."
But just as they were preparing to leave, a pair of visitors pushed the door open and hastened into the
room.
"Are you blind? How can you just barge in like this? Can't you see my father is resting?" Wang Qiao-Yu
was still fuming so, when she saw the intruders, she vented her anger on them.
But when Master Qiu saw the newcomers, his expression paled. In a single bound, he leapt out of his
bed and slapped Wang Qiao-Yu so hard that she fell onto the floor.
"Dad, why did you do that for?" Wang Qiao-Yu felt so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
"You bitch. You can't just go around scolding people. Are you trying to ruin our family!"
Master Qiu berated his daughter-in-law and then he hurried forward to pay his respects to Shen Jiu-Yi
and Shen Fei.
"President Shen, we are honored to have you here. I am sorry I am unable to receive you properly.
Please forgive me!"
What?
"President Shen?"
"Don't tell me he is the President of Shen Corporation, Shen Jiu-Yi!"
When they heard Master Qiu's greeting, the Qiu family members were all surprised.
And one by one, they stepped forward to grovel before the Shens. They bowed and greeted Shen Jiu-
Yi so abjectedly that they looked like slaves paying homage to their master.
But Shen Jiu-Yi ignored the Qius. He pushed Master Qiu aside and then walked directly to where Ye
Fan was standing.
And under the astonished gazes of the Qius, Shen Jiu-Yi pulled his son along and knelt in front of Ye
Fan with a pong sound. With his forehead and hands touching the floor, Shen Jiu-Yi pleaded piteously:
"It was my son's fault for not recognizing and offending you. Please punish us, Mister Chu!"
Behind him, Shen Fei was also on his knees. He added plaintively, "Please
punish me, Mister Chu!"
Their voices were so loud that it shook the whole room.
