A Stern Mistress from the Ancient Past Becomes the Cannon-Fodder in a Wealthy Family Chapter 14

Questioning Her

It was impossible for Shi Bin to beat soone up to this extent, let alone the servants. The only person who could have done it was the unruly wife Shi Xiao had married.

This kind of thing could be big or small depending on how it was handled. It would be fine if it was just Shi Bin and Tan Zhao fighting, but it was different if Yuan Shu interfered.

This ant that the matter had been made public. This ant that they didn’t respect the Tan family and trampled on their reputation.

Tan Jing indeed looked down on his younger brother, who idled around every day, but he was his family after all. He had to help his younger brother get revenge. This call that was made after a few days was partly to let Tan Zhao know that his family cared about him, and partly to test the other party.

As he was thinking about this, Tan Jing heard Yuan Shu’s answer.

“Yes.”

“What did you say?” Tan Jing was stunned. He thought that Yuan Shu would deny it imdiately, but he didn’t expect her to admit it. Was she… looking down on the Tan family?

Tan Jing was so angry that he laughed.

“I said, I beat Tan Zhao up,” Yuan Shu repeated. Her tone was still calm and breezy.

Tan Jing gritted his teeth. “In that case, I’m afraid I have to visit you. After all, this concerns the reputation of the two families and our future relationship.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

“Then let’s et this afternoon. Is it convenient for you, Madam?”

“Of course.”

After agreeing on the ti, Tan Jing threw down the phone and drank a few mouthfuls of water to calm down.

Tan Jing didn’t know if Yuan Shu was really that calm or just pretending. In any case, he was furious.

He was the one who called to denounce Yuan Shu, but not only did he not get an apology, but he also beca angrier.

“Brother, I already said that no one beat up. Why did you still call them?” Tan Zhao was also anxious. He had always been at odds with Shi Bin, and now, his brother insisted on paying a visit. It wouldn’t be long before the news of him losing a fight spread in the circle. It would be such an embarassnt.

“You still have the cheek to say that?! If it weren’t for you, would I have called to ask?” Tan Jing glared at his good-for-nothing brother.

“Don’t try to lie and say that you were the one who left those marks. Are you a masochist? Or did you roll around in a belt pile? Not only were you unable to defeat the Shi family’s kid in a fight, but you were also beaten by soone else’s woman. Aren’t you ashad?”

After scolding his brother, Tan Jing felt better. He tidied his clothes and instructed the servants to prepare the car.

“Forget it. Shi Xiao has been missing for so long, so it’s ti for to visit the Shi family.”

The Shi family wasn’t peaceful either.

Shi Bin was about to go crazy when he saw that Yuan Shu had agreed to Tan Jing’s invitation. However, he still waited for Yuan Shu to hang up before going forward.

“Why did you admit it? Now, what if he cos looking for you?”

Shi Bin was slender and was a head taller than Yuan Shu. If he and Yuan Shu wanted to look at each other, Shi Bin had no choice but to lower his head slightly.

“What are you planning to do? Tan Jing is now the head of the Tan family. I don’t need to say much about his thods. What about you? You’re a woman. The family dotes on you but didn’t teach you how to deal with these things. How are you going to deal with him?”

After Shi Bin finished speaking, he wanted to see Yuan Shu’s reaction, but he t a pair of mirthful eyes.

“So you want to take all the bla? It seems that my previous disciplinary action worked. At least you know that you have to bear so responsibility.” Yuan Shu was a little relieved and said with a smile, “It’s good for you to know that you should protect your family. I’ll accept your kindness. However, there are so things that have to be done by the adults in the family, so kids shouldn’t interfere. I can handle it.”

Little kid? Adult? Who was she talking about?

She was only six to seven years older than him. Why was she pretending to be old?

When Shi Bin heard her say that, not only did he not relax, but he also felt even more pressured. He couldn’t help but retort, “How can you take responsibility? You can’t bear the responsibility either!”

Yuan Shu raised her eyes and glanced at him indifferently.

“Then tell , why did Tan Jing call only a week after the incident and why did he propose to visit?”
