Chapter 454 - Your Hand Was Clipped by the Door, Yes? (2/2)

Since it was of no detriment to the girl, she happily agreed.

At that point, Wu Qiaoyin looked resentfully at Gao Xiaoyang and merely stopped short of vomiting blood.

Jiang Yuan fancied himself as an exceptionally good person. Although Wu Qiaoyin was crass, he did not stoop to her level and phoned Wu Chuanshu. “Director Wu, yes, hello. I’m Jiang Yuan, Qi Chenglin’s assistant.”

“…”

Jiang Yuan was smiling ever kindlier as he held the phone. “Well, here’s the thing. General Manager Qi is working overtime tonight. Miss Wu knew about it and wanted to send him some food, but when our general manager showed her the door, he accidentally put pressure on Miss Wu’s hand. She’s currently in pain and can’t walk. I have to work overtime too, so it’s not appropriate for me to leave. How about you send someone over to fetch her?”

“…”

Jiang Yuan then hung up happily.

Gao Xiaoyang wrapped up her video-taking and followed Jiang Yuan. “Special Assistant Jiang, about Chang City…”

“It’s settled. As for the specific means, please check tomorrow.” Jiang Yuan smiled and left.

Gao Xiaoyang pouted and decided that she should first build rapport with her colleagues from the entertainment news division.

…

At the other end, Qi Chenglin—who dealt with Wu Qiaoyin by himself and inflicted such damage to Wu Qiaoyin’s soft, delicate, and injury-free hand—felt incredibly happy as opposed to feeling heartbroken.

Qi Chenglin closed the door and straightened his suit before walking back handsomely. He earned looks of adulation from Ruan Danchen and Qi Youxuan.

His wife and child’s utter satisfaction with his actions made the little person in Qi Chenglin’s heart tremble excitedly, making the man himself stand even more proudly.

“She interrupted our meal. Come eat, quick. It’s gonna be cold.” Ruan Danchen waved at him and smiled beautifully.

Qi Chenglin returned the smile and sat back down.

The little boy’s eyes glimmered. “Dad, you’re amazing!”

Although it was not the first time he received praise from his son, it was the first time that Qi Chenglin felt incredibly proud. His handsome face became even more captivating.

“As a husband, I have to make my wife feel reassured.” Qi Chenglin’s heart was overflowing with pride, but on the surface, he spoke very calmly.

Qi Youxuan nodded with full of praise.

…

Bystanders were soon growing tired of scolding Wu Qiaoyin since it was all centered around that one issue anyway. Everyone was rushing home, so the crowd dispersed.

Wu Qiaoyin sat at the roadside near Qilin’s entrance. She buried her head in her arms and cried mournfully.

She cried until Wu Chuanshu arrived. He did not even bring his driver because his family’s ugly public spectacle would be a source of embarrassment.

“GET UP!” Wu Chuanshu stood before Wu Qiaoyin and felt only anger after seeing how she was crying.

Of all the terrible things she did, she just had to degrade herself by wanting to become a mistress. Was that something to be proud of?

She was the one who brought it on herself and still had the decency to cry!

Wu Qiaoyin raised her wretched face. It was as if she saw someone to rely on when she saw Wu Chuanshu. “DADDY!”

“You still have the decency to cry? GET UP!” Wu Chuanshu got even angrier when he noticed that passers-by were looking in their direction. He grabbed Wu Qiaoyin’s arm and pulled her up, and it just so happened that the arm he held was Wu Qiaoyin’s injured hand.

“OWW! DADDY!” Wu Chuanshu shrieked.

It was then that Wu Chuanshu noticed her purplish-red fingers.

“What’s this?” Wu Chanshu glanced briefly at it and suppressed his anger. “Go up the car first.”

After helping Wu Qiaoyin into the car, Wu Chuanshu was furious. He was reminded of what Jiang Yuan told him, that Wu Qiaoyin’s fingers were clipped by the door.

Wu Chanshu huffed angrily. Wu Qiaoyin’s head should have been clipped by the door!

As he drove to the hospital, Wu Qiaoyin began wailing and telling everything.

“I was being kind. I heard about what happened at Chang City and I knew he would be very busy, so I brought some food that I made myself for him. Who knew…” Wu Qiaoyin was in so much pain that her voice was faltering. Time and again, she inhaled sharply, letting Wu Chuanshu feel as though she might experience shortness of breath.

Wu Chuanshu was raging, but seeing his daughter’s radish-like fingertips made him bear with it all for the time being.

To his surprise, Wu Qiaoyin continued rambling, “If it wasn’t for Ruan Danchen, Big Brother Qi wouldn’t have refused my cooking! She’s nothing but a jealous woman who controls Big Brother Qi so strictly. She doesn’t even allow it if we interact normally. Big Brother Qi is married and I know I don’t have a chance, but so what if I just want to be friends with him? I want what’s best for Big Brother Qi. I’m willing to sacrifice this by not taking him away from her, but she’s the one that’s not compromising. She even made her son tell lies and badmouth about me. And today she came and bullied me. She forced Big Brother Qi to send me off. Doesn’t Big Brother Qi have any right to make friends at all?”

“SHUT IT! Stop referring to him like that. He’s not even close with you. You don’t need to be so disgusting!” Wu Chuanshu could not imagine how a proper person like him was able to raise such an idiot daughter like Wu Qiaoyin.

Her actions, when shown in public, would do nothing more than cause them to be the butt of jokes!

She would not be only one embarrassed—he would be too!

“DADDY!” Wu Qiaoyin felt so aggrieved that her own father did not defend her.

Wu Chuanshu was irritated to no end. “Don’t think I’m unaware that you’re only plucking out the point-of-view that benefits you. Do you think people can’t see whether you really want to be purely friends? DO YOU THINK THEY’RE IDIOTS? Qi Chenglin’s son has already taught you a lesson but you still aren’t learning from it, are you? He doesn’t like you. Even if you want to be friends, you can’t go up and bother them if they don’t like you. And with the intentions you have, you think no one knows? As a father, I feel ASHAMED for you. You still want to throw away our families’ dignity and let others look down on us?”

Wu Chuanshu was so enraged that he could not stop himself from punching the steering wheel.

With one hand on the wheel, he pointed the other at Wu Qiaoyin, “STOP BEING DELUSIONAL. You aren’t fooling anyone, only yourself. Isn’t that right? ‘Just friends’?”

Wu Qiaoyin’s startled face prompted Wu Chuanshu to snicker. “Don’t even think about being ‘just friends’ in the future! BEHAVE!”

Wu Qiaoyin felt insulted and began crying. “Daddy, how could you do this to me!”

“What did I do? Qi Chenglin has plenty of friends, but why don’t I see him treating them the way he treats you? Why does he dislike you that much? You really think I’m stupid? You think you’re the smartest person in the world, don’t you?” Wu Chuanshu was seething with anger. He wanted nothing more than to cut open Wu Qiaoyin’s head and see what was inside!

“You never stood a chance anyway, and I never hoped for you to do anything that would elicit praise from others, as long as you behave and stop giving our family so much trouble. Is that really that hard for you to fulfill that request?” Wu Chuanshu pointed at her and did not give a damn that Wu Qiaoyin was crying so miserably.

If he were to care deeply about her, the family business would be in shambles because of her.

“I… How am I causing trouble for our family? I know you’ve always thought of me as useless, but I’m trying my best!” Wu Qiaoyin cried plaintively. “You’re my dad! How could you look down on me like this? How could you do this!”

The flustered and aggrieved Wu Qiaoyin fell forward.

Wu Chuanshu was a man who suffered much pressure in his work and had a bellyful of anger. Discussing business deals frequently caused him to suffer losses and be wronged, but he simply swallowed all of it down. He most certainly did not have the patience to straighten out Wu Qiaoyin.

Besides, he thought of Wu Qiaoyin as someone who was too obstinate. If talking things out really worked, she would long been talked out of it instead of reverting to her old ways as soon as she had been scolded.

Wu Chuanshu might as well skip the pleasantries with her. “Behave yourself and don’t look for Qi Chenglin ever again! Or any of his family members for that matter! If it’s a public event and you can’t avoid them, just say hi and don’t do anything else! Stop pestering the Qi family and don’t look for his son ever again!”

Wu Chanshu hated offending people. He simply wanted to vomit blood after seeing how Wu Qiaoyin was acting all wronged.

What was he going to do with such a moronic idiot in his family!

“If you still don’t accept this and keep going on with your idiotic stupidity, I’ll send you overseas! If you don’t behave, I won’t let you come back again!” Wu Chuanshu gritted his teeth in anger and was so enraged that his eyeballs were nearly going to pop out.

He managed to breathe a sigh of relief only when Wu Qiaoyin was shaking in her seat.

As he drove, he made a mental note to let Zhao Fengchun keep an eye on any suitable bachelors within the circle. If there was any suitable candidate, he would then wed her as soon as possible.

Nevertheless, Wu Chuanshu frowned, because Wu Qiaoyin’s stupid character might bring disaster to others. That would then lead to a feud. He came back to the country not to make enemies, so after some thought, he decided it was best to teach Wu Qiaoyin first before making a decision.

Wu Qiaoyin remained quiet there, seemingly behaving already. Deep down however, she was actually feeling indignant! What right did her father have to say that about her! Which part of her was less than human!

So be it if her father did not protect her and encourage her to pursue her true love, but he even looked down on her so despicably!

She did not realize that she was that useless of a person in her father’s eyes.

‘He… How could he demean me to that extent!

‘What did I do wrong?’

Wu Qiaoyin felt that her true love surpassed everything else! It was something both touching and inspirational!

Wu Chuanshu did not know that she was thinking along those lines. If he did, he might immediately change course and drive straight to a mental institution.

At the end of the day, Wu Chuanshu brought her to the hospital for an X-ray. Once it was confirmed that her bones were all okay, they applied medicine on it and bandaged it before dispensing some anti-inflammatory medication. After that, he pulled a long face and brought her home.

Back home, he lashed out at Zhao Fengchun for spoiling Wu Qiaoyin.

Zhao Fengchun could only nod with a straight face. Seeing her daughter’s fingers wrapped in thick bandages made her tear up.

“Mom, I… I’m the one who was wronged!” Wu Qiaoyin whispered to her mother only when it was the two of them in her room.
