Chapter 315 - What Do You Think He Will Do? (1/2)

“Yuxin?”

Su Yuxin stood there. He was an eighteen-year-old with a child-like disposition. His features, however, hinted at the adult he would someday be.

“Junjiao.” Su Yuxin held onto Qiu Junjiao’s hand. His grip was not vice-like but Qiu Junjiao could not seem to wring her hand free.

“No matter what is happening here, this is Su Family’s dinner party. You are attempting to hit someone and create a scene. Are you disrespecting my family?”

Qiu Junjiao’s expression hardened and she glared at Su Yuxin. “I am attempting to hit someone? Why aren’t you looking at what she did?”

“I saw it.” Su Yuxin released Qiu Junjiao’s hand from his grip and stepped back, partially blocking her from Su Qingsang. “I also witnessed what you’ve done, however”

Su Qingsang fixed her eyes on Su Yuxin, heartened by his act of coming to her defense. She was not afraid of Qiu Junjiao’s assault.

If Qiu Junjiao had been bent on hitting her, Su Qingsang would never have let her try if she were not able to dodge the attack.

Nevertheless, Su Yuxin’s protectiveness warmed her. She looked at Su Yuxin gratefully.

Li Qianxue witnessed this scene from afar. Her sharp eyes momentarily reflected steeliness.

Su Chenghui and Huo Jinyao had followed Old Master Li to the study room and were not present. Su Peizhen also witnessed the scene and her demeanor was parallel to her mother’s. Her hand, which was holding onto a drinking glass, was tightly clenched into a fist.

“What do you mean by that?” Qiu Junjiao was extremely conscious of the stares she was getting from those around her. Her family and Su Family were considered longtime friends, but Su Yuxin was now setting her up for embarrassment.

“I don’t mean anything,” Su Yuxin replied softly. “Junjiao, your clothes are wet. Why don’t you head upstairs to change?”

“You…”

“Junjiao,” Su Yuxin said as he took a step forward. “My second brother-in-law is not around right now. If he sees the state that my sister is in when he returns from the study room, what do you think he will do?”

He pressed against Qiu Junjiao as he spoke, his voice barely audible.
