The next second, Ji Mofeng, already furious, stord toward her.
Without a word, he raised his arm and slapped her hard across the face!
"Unfilial daughter! How could you do sothing so sinister? And using my collection of paintings as your ploy, do you realize how valuable those are? Is this how I taught you to behave?"
Ji Kaisui had just gotten up when another slap knocked her flat on the ground.
Half her face swelled up.
As Ji Mofeng was about to hit her again, Su Sui quickly embraced him and turned to shout at her daughter.
"Suisui, what on earth happened? Explain it to your father quickly. You’ve always been the one who listens to him the most. You wouldn’t intentionally do sothing to anger him, right?"
"..." Ji Kaisui was stunned from the blows.
Hearing Su Sui’s voice, it took her several seconds to collect herself before she spoke, covering her face.
"Dad, it wasn’t intentional. I just accidentally bumped into your painting and was afraid that you’d be angry. In my panic, I said soone else did it; I really didn’t an to..."
As Ji Kaisui spoke, she cried, looking young and inexperienced, her sincere attitude of admitting her mistakes instantly turned her from being viewed as sinister to a child forced into a corner.
Su Sui also chid in then to defend her daughter.
Just as Ji Mofeng appeared to be persuaded, Ji Weitian reminded neither lightly nor heavily, "In a mont of panic, to slander my parents and even think to drag the butler into this as a witness, that’s quite impressive."
Standing aside, the butler, wishing everyone would forget him, said nothing.
eting Ji Mofeng’s gloomy gaze, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down, just about to speak to plead for himself when Ji Mofeng kicked him away.
"Get out! Don’t let see you again!"
The butler was dismissed.
The expressions on both Su Sui and Ji Kaisui were unpleasant.
Ji Kaisui was still crying, and the chaotic scene made the atmosphere tense.
"Calm down, don’t make yourself sick. Suisui is naive, it’s all because I didn’t teach her well..."
Su Sui spoke with a choked voice, clutching Ji Mofeng’s arm tightly.
"You’ve already hit her and scolded her, she’s still your own daughter whom you’ve watched grow up. Suisui has been kind-hearted since childhood, she wouldn’t even hurt an ant, she couldn’t possibly have the cunning to plot against anyone."
"..."
"Luckily it’s just one painting damaged, and no matter who did it, it can’t be pursued today. Maybe we should let this go for now, the kitchen is still waiting to serve the dinner to the guests, let’s not be the laughing stock."
Su Sui made her points precisely.
Ji Mofeng’s expression softened slightly, and he was just about to agree when Ji Weitian coldly interrupted him.
"We can’t just let it go like this."
Ji Weitian walked forward, her face expressionless as she glanced at Ji Kaisui, the recent mories of Ji Kaisui and Su Sui shaming her adoptive parents echoing in her ears.
Her eyes narrowed, "How the Ji family handles your family matters doesn’t interest , but since you just slandered my parents, shouldn’t you give a formal apology?"
"What do you an?" Su Sui and Ji Kaisui asked simultaneously.
Ji Weitian smiled lightly, "Aunt i, don’t be nervous, you’re an elder, it wouldn’t be appropriate for you to apologize. But..."
Ji Weitian’s tone shifted, pointing at Ji Kaisui, "She must kneel down and apologize to my parents!"
"In your dreams!" Ji Kaisui instantly refused.
Asking her to kneel to a pair of country bumpkins, that would be more unbearable than death.
