Chapter 523: 523, is not a place where you can run wild (second update)

Hearing this, Zhou ilin imdiately smiled reassuringly, "Aunt Fu, Songhe is a fair and just person, he will absolutely not cover up for Tian just because she’s his daughter. Don’t worry, Songhe will surely give you justice."

Zhou ilin’s words were extrely skillful, not only did she praise Chu Songhe’s character but also firmly established Chu Tian’s guilt for hitting soone.

Chu Songhe knitted his brows tightly, looked toward Aunt Fu, and comforted her, "ilin is right, I will definitely not indulge this little scourge."

"Good," Aunt Fu nodded, "With the master and madam’s words, I am at ease."

Chu Songhe stepped forward several paces, walking until he stopped in front of Chu Tian, and said sternly, "Chu Tian! Do you know your mistake? Quickly go and apologize to Aunt Fu! Make her forgive you!"

For the first ti in history, Chu Tian rebutted Chu Songhe’s words, and her attitude was very resolute, "I won’t apologize because I did nothing wrong!"

This was sowhat unexpected for Chu Songhe. At that mont, he seed to see his younger self in Chu Tian, and besides, wasn’t Chu Tian always soone who endured everything passively? When had she ever shown such a deanor?

Zhou ilin naturally noticed this abnormality as well. Squinting her eyes, she surveyed the room’s layout without revealing her emotions, and her gaze t with Chu Jin’s. Their eyes locked, and she clearly saw a deep, cold chill in Chu Jin’s eyes, sharp as a sword, extre in its frostiness.

Zhou ilin shivered and quickly averted her gaze. This was not like the eyes of a young girl at all. Could she have been overthinking it, seeing things that weren’t there? With this thought, she looked up again, and Chu Jin’s gaze had returned to that indifferent, detached manner, ethereal and harmless.

Zhou ilin then dismissed the doubts in her heart, walked up beside Chu Songhe, and looked straight at Chu Tian, "You say you’ve done nothing wrong, then how do you explain the marks on Aunt Fu’s face? Could she have hit herself?"

Changing her tone, she spoke earnestly, "Everyone makes mistakes, and you’re young. It’s not terrible to make a mistake occasionally. What’s terrible is refusing to repent!"

Chu Tian pursed her lips, "I’ll say it again, I am not wrong, and I will not apologize."

Zhou ilin sighed in feigned helplessness.

After hearing all this, Chu Songhe grew even angrier. He couldn’t understand, how could the Chu Family have produced such a daughter! Stubborn and unbending, a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved!

Chu Songhe looked at Chu Tian and scolded, "You little scourge! Still daring to argue! Truly lawless! Quickly kneel down for !"

Chu Tian also looked at Chu Songhe, standing erect, for the first ti not yielding to Chu Songhe’s demands, and said, "Dad, I can kneel to the heavens, kneel to the earth, kneel to my parents, but today, if you ask

to kneel, I will not! I refuse! Because you have never fulfilled your responsibilities as a father!"

The Chu Family had always provided for Chu Tian with the best food and care, but today she actually said such things. If this wasn’t ingratitude, what was?

Chu Songhe stepped back angrily, raised his right hand, and swung it fiercely toward Chu Tian’s face, "I’ll kill you, you unfilial daughter!"

This slap would have likely disfigured Chu Tian’s face, but the wrist Chu Songhe raised was caught mid-air by soone’s grasp. A fair and delicate hand easily seized Chu Songhe’s wrist, and without seeming to exert much force, it immobilized the adult man, causing his face to contort unattractively.

"And who are you? How dare you act so brazenly in the Chu Family house!"

Aunt Fu imdiately stepped forward to point out, "Master, it was her, she and the second young madam beat

together."

But Chu Jin, still holding Chu Songhe’s wrist, showed no sign of letting go, "Uncle Chu, out of respect because you are an elder, I address you as uncle. Everything should be about evidence. Just based on this servant’s one-sided accusation, you have determined Chu Tian’s guilt. This hardly seems appropriate, right? Besides, why would she hit soone for no reason? There must be a reason for hitting soone, right?"

With that, Chu Jin turned her gaze toward Aunt Fu and Zhou ilin, with an insinuating tone, "After all, only psychopaths and rabid dogs bite without reason."

Her voice was soft and gentle, yet it was extrely pleasant to the ear, like a bubbling spring that could scatter the shadows in people’s hearts, and further, Chu Jin’s words were logical, too. Even police investigations have to rely on physical evidence, and besides, why would Chu Tian hit soone without good reason?

Zhou ilin was infuriated when she discerned the implication in Chu Jin’s words and blurted out angrily, "Where did this wild girl co from? The Chu Family is not a place where you can run wild!"

Chu Jin responded with a cold smile, without a hint of fear, and t Zhou ilin’s gaze with an even tone, "Unfortunately for you, I too bear the surna Chu, and I am here today to seek justice for Chu Tian. We, the mbers of the old Chu Family, are not so easily bullied!"

At this point, Chu Jin released Chu Songhe’s wrist and continued, "Uncle Chu, I believe that you are a fair and just person, and also a responsible father. It’s just that your vision is temporarily clouded by so things. Think about it, is Chu Tian the kind of person who randomly hits people? What benefit does she get from assaulting a servant for no reason?"

Listening to Chu Jin’s words, Chu Songhe gradually cald down.

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Zhou ilin imdiately intervened, "Chu Tian did this because she doesn’t like , her mother, so she took her anger out on Aunt Fu..."

She hadn’t finished her sentence when Chu Jin interrupted her, "Then here cos the question, in this world there is no hatred without cause, nor is there love without reason. So tell , why doesn’t Chu Tian like you? Is it because you have been too good to her?"

Zhou ilin’s face turned pale with Chu Jin’s words, which were indeed a stab at the heart! Indeed, she was no easy opponent! Zhou ilin wondered where Chu Tian had found such a person!

She looked not much older than Chu Tian, but in terms of resourcefulness and wisdom, a hundred Chu Tians could not match her!

Chu Jin’s statent wasn’t hard to understand. Hearing it, Chu Songhe’s expression changed, and he involuntarily raised his eyes to look at Zhou ilin, his eyes full of complexity.

"Do I need a reason not to like her? Just look at how she behaves usually! All she thinks about is her foster mother in the countryside! A thankless wretch! Not to ntion three years, even in ten years, she wouldn’t grow close!" In panic, Zhou ilin shifted the topic.

Realizing the unfavorable turn of the situation, Aunt Fu hurriedly said, "The injuries on my face are the evidence! Master, if you can’t stand up for , then I’ll have to go to the police."

"Police?" Chu Jin slightly raised an eyebrow, "If you want to report to the police, you’re welco to do so at any ti. But let

remind you, malicious false reporting is subject to administrative penalties. Oh, and you said both Chu Tian and I assaulted you, so may I ask, where exactly did the assault occur?"

Chu Jin did hit her herself! Although Aunt Fu was the one who started it! But indeed, she did hit herself; thinking of this, Aunt Fu’s heart felt sowhat more at ease, then she continued, "In the living room! You assaulted

in the living room!"

Chu Jin nodded and responded indifferently, "You say the incident took place in the living room, so may I ask, did anyone else witness it besides you? As far as I know, this household should have more than just you as a servant, and the living room is a public space. If we really did assault you, there should have been other people who saw it, right?"

That was precisely the strangest part of the whole incident—it was odd that nobody else had heard her when she scread so loudly!

Aunt Fu suddenly felt uneasy; the situation seed to be increasingly unfavorable for her!

With no other options, she had to say, "At that ti, they had all gone to do other things and no one was staying in the living room!"

The excuse seed sowhat far-fetched. Chu Songhe furrowed his brows slightly. Could it be true as Chu Jin suggested, that soone was deliberately making things difficult for Chu Tian?

Chu Jin smiled wryly and looked up at Chu Songhe, countering, "Uncle Chu, do you believe this explanation?"

Aunt Fu hastily said, "What I said is true! Master, you must believe !"

Zhou ilin also added, "Songhe, Aunt Fu has worked in our house for so many years, don’t you know what kind of person she is?" She refused to believe that a teenage girl could have any significant wiles.

Caught between his wife of many years and his own daughter, Chu Songhe found himself in a difficult position.

Chu Jin continued, "Uncle Chu, your living room should have surveillance installed, right? Since everyone believes that Chu Tian and I beat up this maid, why not pull up the surveillance footage to take a look?"

Pulling up the surveillance? This made Aunt Fu sowhat anxious! Not only was she the first to initiate the attack, but she had also verbally insulted Chu Tian. Although Chu Songhe didn’t think highly of Chu Tian and usually couldn’t be bothered with her, this didn’t an that their servants could bully Chu Tian at will!

After all, Chu Tian was the second young miss of the Chu Family. Bullying Chu Tian wasn’t that hitting Chu Songhe in the face? For a mont, Aunt Fu felt almost unable to stand her ground; she had never imagined the situation would evolve like this.

Zhou ilin, on the other hand, was calm and collected. She shouted towards the door, "Zhen, go copy the surveillance footage over." She had anticipated this move and had tampered with the surveillance system before going upstairs. Even if they wanted to watch the surveillance now, they wouldn’t be able to.

Zhen was Chu Songhe’s assistant, so it was more appropriate for Zhen to personally copy the video. That way, Chu Songhe wouldn’t suspect that soone deliberately damaged the surveillance.

Because he would never think that soone would prepare in advance.

Seeing Zhou ilin act this way, Aunt Fu imdiately felt steadier, and her heart was no longer in a flutter.

They, master and servant, had not seldom done such things and were very much in tune with each other.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded from behind, and Zhou ilin quickly turned her head, "Zhen, did you get the video copied?"

Zhen held an iPad in hand and nodded. Then, as he lifted his eyes toward Chu Songhe, his expression looked sowhat grim—he had watched these videos from start to finish during the copying process... and suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for the second young miss.

Seeing Zhen nod, Zhou ilin was stunned; she had clearly hacked into the internal network and wrecked the entire surveillance system. How could Zhen still be able to record and copy the video? Could there be a deceit here? Zhou ilin forced herself to remain composed.

Chu Songhe took a glance at him and said, "Open it; let

see."

"Yes, boss." Zhen efficiently opened the iPad and played the video on it, imdiately broadcasting the sound.

"..."

"Second miss, after you change your shoes, rember to go to the eldest miss’s room and iron the evening gown she is going to wear to the banquet tomorrow. Also, the young master wet the bed last night, and the sheets are still in the laundry room. After you iron the clothes, take the opportunity to wash the sheets as well."

"..."

Then it was the sound of eating sunflower seeds,

"Yo, the second miss’s wings have gotten hard, huh? I can’t order you around anymore, can I? Let

tell you, if you don’t sweep up those sunflower seed shells today, I won’t let you get away with it! I call you ’second miss,’ and you really think you’re the second miss, huh?"

"..."

The language coming from the inside got harsher and harsher; Aunt Fu’s legs were practically shaking like a sieve.

Chu Songhe’s face turned livid with rage; he had never known that his daughter lived such a life at ho, that even a servant could bully her like this! It was all because he hadn’t cared enough about her!

This child was truly foolish! To endure such grievances, she never once told him!

And judging from Aunt Fu’s tone, this wasn’t the first ti she had done sothing like this. Thinking of this, Chu Songhe felt both guilty and enraged at the sa ti!

How dare they bully the Chu Family’s precious daughter so flagrantly!

At the end of the video, Aunt Fu even picked up a feather duster and tried to hit Chu Tian!

This could not go on any longer, she had to strike first! Aroused from her panic, Zhou ilin rushed to Aunt Fu’s side and slapped her across the face with a "smack
