Chapter 707: I Promise This Is the Last Time

Wang Xinyue dared not look the old master in the eye and spoke somewhat vaguely: "She said she went to play at a classmate's hometown."

Xiao Laoyezi Qi slapped the chair back: "Hurry and call her back; do you think she can hide from it?"

Qi Tongda looked utterly confused: "Dad, what happened? What does it have to do with Shufang?"

Xiao Laoyezi Qi pointed at his daughter-in-law: "Ask your wife."

Wang Xinyue's expression was very awkward; seeing her husband look over, she knew the matter could not be hidden: "Shufang she..."

She found herself unable to continue.

She raised her head to look at the old master at the head seat: "Dad, those people didn't succeed, right? Can't we make an exception?"

Qi Tongda was truly angry now: "What exactly happened? Can't you tell me first?"

Even though Wang Xinyue didn't want to say it, seeing her husband on the verge of exploding, she quickly explained: "That girl Shufang could never let go of Fu Yan Cheng; she did something foolish. She found the second-in-command of the Red Committee and asked him to teach someone a lesson, but she was counter-killed, and it directly escalated to the Gongan Bureau.

That wasn't all; Shufang also found people from the military side to make things difficult for Fu Yan Cheng's fiancée, but she was dragged out by them too. Now the military side is involved. If they really drag Shufang into it, she's afraid she'll have big trouble."

Hearing his wife's words, Qi Tongda was nearly so angry he could breathe fire through seven orifices; he raised his hand and slapped Wang Xinyue, roaring directly: "You knew about this beforehand, didn't you?"

How could Wang Xinyue dare admit it? "No, don't wrong me. How could I have known beforehand? It was only after I saw Shufang acting strangely that I forced the truth out of her."

Qi Tongda knew his wife too well; one look told him she wasn't telling the truth: "Before, Dad already said to stop provoking the Fu family, to stop provoking Fu Yan Cheng's fiancée. Why didn't you listen? Why didn't you inform us beforehand?

Why didn't you stop her?"

"What's the use of yelling at me now? Don't you know her nature? If she wants to do something, who can stop her?"

"Then why didn't you tell me and Dad? It wouldn't have developed to an irretrievable point. Tell me, what do we do now?"

Wang Xinyue, the mother, now knew fear too and stammered somewhat: "Shufang said she just wanted to scare that girl. How did I know that Yao Qidong would actually dare to send people to act?"

Xiao Laoyezi Qi's heart ached with anger; he closed his eyes and said: "The most infuriating part is right here. Even if Shufang denies it, she's likely stuck with this blame. I don't know who is pushing the waves behind the scenes. The situation is already beyond our control. I fear someone with ulterior motives will make an issue of this; by then, the entire Qi family will be implicated."

Wang Xinyue said anxiously: "Dad, Shufang just wanted to teach that girl a lesson; she didn't think things would turn out like this. You can't just abandon her."

Xiao Laoyezi Qi's face was heavy: "Fu Yan Cheng's marriage report has already been submitted; the nature of the matter has changed. How do you expect me to save her?"

"Dad, let's go find that woman and beg her to show mercy."

"You probably forgot the harsh words Fu Yan Cheng made when Shufang was exposed for impersonating her identity before? If you want to go, go; I have no face to show."

Qi Tongda had calmed down by now: "Dad, what are you thinking?"

Xiao Laoyezi Qi sighed heavily: "Self-inflicted misery cannot be survived. I cannot sacrifice the entire Qi family for her."

Hearing the Eunuch's words, Wang Xinyue panicked: "Dad, are you thinking of abandoning Shufang? No, Dad, she is your own granddaughter. Only you can save her now. I promise this is the last time."
