Back to youth, the child's mother became a female president
Chapter 231 The Dead End of the Previous Life
This one sentence pulled Hua Tingjue away from his thoughts, and his memory was instantly pulled back to his previous life.
Two thousand and one.
The rainy day when Jiang Nan came to my house carrying Yu Yu.
That year, the eldest brother was thirty years old. He was about to take over the position of the head of the Hua family, but he was attacked by other members of the family because of the scandal of his illegitimate daughter. In order to keep part of the inheritance rights of the third branch, they fought with the wolves and tigers in the family who coveted the position for a long time before they secured the position of the head of the family.
This was also the primary reason why his mother disliked and even hated Yu Yu and Jiang Nan in his previous life. He remembered that his mother had asked him the same question in his previous life.
Hua Tingjue lowered his eyelashes, nodded, and answered her hesitantly: "I know."
Knowingly committing a crime? Mu Xiuzhi could not contain her anger and scolded him harshly, "Why would you do such a stupid thing if you knew it? He is your elder brother. Don't you know how much he protects you?"
"The wealth and glory you have now are all given to you by the Hua family. We don't ask you to be the pillar of the family, nor do we ask you to share our worries and solve problems, but you have caused trouble time and time again and put the Hua family in danger. You do things only according to your own will and don't consider the Hua family at all!"
"I can't figure out what's going on in your head!"
Her chest heaving violently, Mu Xiuzhi roared in frustration.
Hua Tingjue, feeling guilty, lowered his head again and remained silent, his brows filled with pain and loneliness.
But facts speak louder than words.
He really had no way to defend himself. Yu Yu's birth and the Hua family's good reputation were destined to go in opposite directions since their previous life.
He couldn't have the best of both worlds. He couldn't give up Yuyu, and he didn't want to hurt his elder brother and the Hua family, so he kept it a secret until now, but it was eventually exposed.
"And... don't you understand what will happen to Jiang Wangshu if she gets pregnant before marriage? Don't tell me you are really a fool."
"You let a girl who hasn't even graduated from college get pregnant before marriage. Hua Tingjue, where do you put her? Don't you know that people's words are scary?"
Hua Tingjue finally reacted when Jiang Wangshu was mentioned. He raised his head and said with difficulty, "Mom, I know. After the Spring Festival holiday, that is, at the end of this month, we will go to get the marriage certificate!"
"We are definitely not fooling around, she and I are serious about this."
“I did make mistakes, but I don’t regret it.”
His resolute look and unrepentant attitude deeply irritated Mu Xiuzhi, who was already in a rage. Her eyes were cold and she smiled, "Okay, you unrepentant rebellious son! I was too indulgent to you before, I will make sure you never forget today's lesson!"
After saying that, Mu Xiuzhi took out the family whip, which was as thick as an adult's wrist. She swung it so hard that you could seem to see the sparks flying. The sound of the whip hitting the ground was so creepy that you could almost imagine the pain of it hitting your flesh.
Hua Tingjin stood up, his eyes were gentle but his attitude was firm as he said, "Mom, I also have a responsibility to educate my brother. If Jue makes a mistake, then I can't escape responsibility."
"Mom, I'm willing to share the punishment for Jue."
Hua Tingjue pulled Hua Tingjin's sleeve with all his strength, "Second brother, what are you doing? This is none of your business. It's my own fault for not being able to handle things properly. I am willing to be punished!"
He looked at Mu Xiuzhi anxiously again, "Mom, just beat me up, my second brother did nothing wrong, it's none of his business!"
They looked like brothers with deep affection, but Mu Xiuzhi did not retract the whip. Instead, she swung it hard in front of Hua Tingjin. She asked indifferently, "Do you want to leave by yourself or do you want me to pull you away?"
"Mom, I am willing to be punished."
"Okay, you two brothers are brave enough. Since you are both eager to be punished, I will grant your wish. Don't worry, no one can escape!" She stood above, like a tyrant giving orders.
……
When they arrived at the Hua family, they were guarded by three layers of bodyguards inside and outside. Lin Shuanglian even reached out and stopped Jiang Wangshu at the door.
"Miss Jiang, you can't go in without Madam's order."
"Get out of the way." The anxious Jiang Wangshu had already lost his patience.
Lin Shuanglian did not give in at all, "This is my duty."
Seeing that Lin Shuanglian was determined to stop him, Jiang Wangshu had no choice but to call Yu Dong, tilted his head and whispered, "Yu Dong, I leave it to you."
"Yes, boss."
Yu Dong stayed behind to fight with Lin Shuanglian and the others, while Jiang Wangshu took the opportunity to run in.
……
The first whip landed steadily on his body. Hua Tingjue groaned and gritted his teeth to endure the pain. He lowered his head, his back was straight, and his eyes were firm and fearless.
Then came the second whip, the third whip...
Later, Hua Tingjue himself couldn't count how many times he had passed. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his temples. He gradually lost his strength. He supported himself with his palms, and veins bulged on the back of his hands. He knelt on the ground, hunched over like a bow.
"Do you understand what you should and shouldn't do?"
Mu Xiuzhi has always been like this. Her iron-blooded tactics have frightened everyone in the Hua family, and many powerful elders in the clan are afraid of her.
Hua Tingjue pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Okay, it looks like the bones are very hard!"
"Wait!" Just as the whip was about to fall on Hua Tingjue, Jiang Wangshu arrived in time. She rushed in and shouted.
Her sudden appearance made everyone in the study look at her.
Mu Xiuzhi looked her up and down, and finally her eyes stopped on her abdomen. Jiang Wangshu let her look without any hesitation.
Lin Shuanglian walked in quickly and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I couldn't stop Miss Jiang." Mu Xiuzhi gave her a look, and Lin Shuanglian walked over to her and stood beside her.
Seeing her figure, Hua Tingjue's pupils shrank, and he pushed her, "Why are you here? You go back first, I'll be back soon." He tried his best to persuade her to go back because he was worried that Jiang Wangshu would be implicated.
Jiang Wangshu bent slightly, and when he saw Hua Tingjue's shirt soaked with blood, his heart tightened. He gently placed his slender fingers on his shoulders and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Hua Tingjue shook his head to comfort her, "I'm fine, just a minor injury." But because his body was twisting, he felt waves of unbearable pain in his back that went straight to his scalp, and he hissed with his teeth bared.
Looking at his torn back, Jiang Wangshu was tormented, overwhelmed by guilt and anxiety. She lowered her eyelashes and said weakly, "I'm sorry."
"What does it have to do with you? I caused the trouble myself." Hua Tingjue didn't know that Jiang Wangshu already knew the whole story, so he chose to lie to her.
Jiang Wangshu stood up straight, with a thin back and proud bones, and slender limbs. She looked up at Mu Xiuzhi without avoiding her gaze, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, "I agreed to the pregnancy, and I wanted to have it myself. It has nothing to do with Hua Tingjue, and no one can influence my thoughts."
"It was indeed his fault for hiding the truth, but that was for my sake and the Hua family's sake, not for his own selfish desires. You should know his character, and even if you are his mother, you should not punish him at will."
"He should have his human rights."
Mu Xiuzhi sneered, her eyes flickering with interest, "Oh?"
"Humph, Jiang Wangshu, you haven't married into the Hua family yet, nor have you become the head of the Hua family. It's not your turn to say who I discipline."
"Really?" Jiang Wangshu was not timid or afraid, but faced the challenge head-on. She smiled and retorted: "I don't care about the Hua family, it's just Hua Tingjue who cares. It doesn't matter to me whether I marry or not."
Jiang Wangshu used the bandit theory as usual, "Besides, I'm already pregnant, I won't abort it." She pointed at Hua Tingjue who was kneeling on the ground and asked Mu Xiuzhi, "Auntie, do you want to see him forced to choose between the two?"
Few people could stand up to Mu Xiuzhi, and she was so arrogant that she was not afraid of tigers. What was even more terrible was that she turned the tables and forced Mu Xiuzhi to give in and make a choice between her son and her reputation.
"You, stay, everyone else get out."
The direction Mu Xiuzhi was pointing was exactly Jiang Wangshu.
