The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Chapter 242 I’m Going to Accuse You of Murder in Your Home!

"Ah!"

Shang Chi was violently beaten for the first time.

The wrench hitting his body hurt much more than fists.

He went from initial insults to tremblingly, with a pale face, kowtowing and apologizing to Jiang Nanshu, "I’m sorry, I promise not to bother you again next time, can I hit you lighter?"

His face was swollen from Jiang Nanshu’s blows, and the wrench pounding on him made his bones ache. He started feeling fear towards this girl who had burst in out of nowhere, from the initial contempt he had felt.

He just wanted to get rid of this scourge quickly.

His eyes turned fierce; as soon as Jiang Nanshu let him go, he vowed to have someone mercilessly deal with her!

But no sooner had this thought crossed his mind.

Jiang Nanshu grabbed his blood-stained collar, forcing him to look straight into her face.

That usually smiling face was now a sheet of ice.

Shang Chi felt a bit intimidated.

The next moment, Jiang Nanshu pressed his head down to kowtow heavily to Lu Junqin.

"The person you really should apologize to is not me, it’s her." Jiang Nanshu grabbed Shang Chi’s hair, taking pleasure in his twisted face of pain as she smirked, "Say you’re sorry to her."

Shang Chi widened his eyes in disbelief.

Apologize to the woman he had been beating all along?

That was simply an insult.

But this madwoman was insane. She would resort to violence without a word, leaving him no chance to speak.

The bodyguards around the villa had been dismissed by him to avoid a bad reputation, and now he had dug a hole for himself.

He was utterly without help.

So, gritting his teeth and with tears falling from his eyes, he showed remorse on his face, "Jun Qin, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I was out of my mind to lay hands on you, can you forgive me, please? I’ll definitely change next time."

Lu Junqin watched Jiang Nanshu with a dazed look in her eyes.

She recognized her.

She was Lu Qingyan’s fiancée.

She had never imagined that her savior would be a stranger with no blood ties to her.

"Do you accept his apology?" Jiang Nanshu asked softly, appearing somewhat casual, but her grip on Shang Chi’s head was just as tight, filled with a sense of security.

Lu Junqin looked at Shang Chi.

The man who had beaten her for five years.

In the first month after she married into the family, she had endured her first beating.

At that time, she wanted a divorce.

But Shang Chi knelt on the ground admitting his fault, saying he had been too drunk, and when she found out she was pregnant, she forgave him out of soft-heartedness.

At five months pregnant, she endured the second beating.

It nearly caused a miscarriage.

At that time, she thought if she miscarried, she wouldn’t have to stay in the Shang Family for the sake of the child.

But the child was tenacious and didn’t miscarry.

She silently accepted Shang Chi’s apology a second time.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth... countless times.

So many that she had become numb.

He escalated from slaps to punches and kicks, and eventually dissatisfied with these, he started to use torture tools on her, whipping her with a leather strap, threatening her with Shang Xu’s life to prevent her from speaking out, hitting her head with a vase until it bled.

She struggled in his grip for five full years.

She was only twenty-seven but looked unrecognizably old.

Seeing that Lu Junqin remained silent, Jiang Nanshu’s gaze grew colder, but she continued smiling, "If you forgive him, I’ll let him go, as long as you promise me that when you fight, you don’t bother me, and I won’t meddle anymore."

Shang Chi just wanted to get rid of this plague, and hastily sought help from Lu Junqin, "Wife, I had been drinking this time when I hit you, you suggested sending Xuxu to kindergarten, I agree with you. Once I find a good school, we’ll send him there to study next year, okay?"

Lu Junqin’s eyes were lifeless as she looked at him, giving no answer.

Shang Chi panicked, desperately grabbing Lu Junqin’s hand, "Tomorrow, I’ll send him tomorrow, you can take our son, I promise I won’t hit you again, forgive me, just this once."
