Chapter 698: Chapter 698

When the Liang Family arrived at the hospital, Liang Han was lying in the emergency room, moaning and groaning. He had gotten into a fight at Jiang Chengsi’s club, and his old wounds had barely healed before he had added new ones. Fresh chapters posted on novel※fire.net

"Xiaohan." Liang Wenzhong looked at his son, anxious and angry, yet his heart ached, "Who did this to you?"

"It was her, that little bitch hit me!"

"I have nothing to do with her like that, you really made a mess this time!" Liang Wenzhong was hopping mad with anger, "All you had to do was clear things up, and this would have been settled. But look at you now..."

Liang Han appeared clueless, "Dad, isn’t she your mistress?"

"What mistress, she’s not, she..." Mrs. Liang was too angry for words.

Meanwhile, Shen Shuci had contacted Jiang Jinsang and found out what had happened. When she heard that Liang Han came to stir up trouble at the hotel, she hurried back by car.

"So, you still don’t know who you hit?" Tang Wan couldn’t help but laugh.

"Who is he?" Shen Shuci honestly didn’t know.

"You don’t know who he is, but you hit him anyway?"

Tang Wan was incredulous. If Liang Han knew that after getting beaten up, the person didn’t even know who he was, he’d probably vomit blood in frustration.

"He tried to hit me first, shouldn’t I have fought back?"

Shen Shuci spoke with an especially serious tone.

"You should," Tang Wan pursed her lips, "He is Liang Han."

Shen Shuci nodded in understanding. Tang Wan thought she might say something else, but after hesitating for two seconds, she firmly said, "He started it first, anyway."

He deserved the beating.

Jiang Jinsang looked towards Jiang Jiu at his side, "When it happened, you were right there beside them, didn’t you say anything or stop them?"

He had seen Shen Shuci fight before; she was much fiercer than Tang Wan. Liang Han was unlucky to fall into her hands, he likely wouldn’t gain any advantage and might get beaten half to death.

Jiang Jiu adjusted his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, "I tried, but..."

"People bring it on themselves; I can’t stop that, and you only asked me to get him out of the hotel."

Meaning, whether Liang Han was dead or alive had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Jinsang twisted his fingers and shot Jiang Jiu a glance.

"I did try to break it up later," Jiang Jiu added.

Shen Shuci: "Didn’t you also take the opportunity to kick him a couple of times?"

Jiang Jiu, touching his sunglasses, "Did I? It might have been an accident."

Just a few minutes prior, Jiang Jiu had gone with Liang Han to the underground parking garage to take him away. Liang Han was holding back a belly full of anger and had no good face for him, not wanting him to follow, so they kept a distance of one or two meters between them.

Shen Shuci happened to arrive at the hotel, got out of her car, and Liang Han set his sights on her immediately.

He thought to himself, heaven must not want to see him dead, to allow him to run into this little bitch here.

Remembering how he had been humiliated earlier that day, he lost all restraint and charged at her, ready to confront her...

Shen Shuci had just taken out some newly bought snacks when she saw through the car’s rearview mirror someone charging at her with an evil look.

His hands clenched, staring at her as if wanting to swallow her whole.

She wasn’t stupid; facing an attacker, of course, she would not be polite. As he nearly reached her, she kicked up and sent him tumbling to the ground.

Caught off guard, Liang Han crashed to the ground, hurting his back and abdomen, his scalp tingling from the pain.

Shen Shuci dusted off her pants and looked at him, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Liang Han exploded. This girl seduced his father; how could she not recognize him? Blinded by rage, he caught a glimpse of a fire extinguisher nearby and struggled to his feet, grabbing it and swinging it at her.

Jiang Jiu stood not too far away, adjusting his sunglasses, contemplating the current situation...

Jiang Jinsang had only said to see him off. He hadn’t been told what to do in this scenario, so he decided to wait and see how things played out.

Shen Shuci knew of Liang Han but had never seen him before. When a strange man attacks you with a fire extinguisher, it’s a threat to personal safety, definitely a case for self-defense, and then she could fight back as hard as she could...

After flipping him over with one kick, she added another, leaving Liang Han completely baffled. He even began to doubt if he had gone after the wrong person!

He hadn’t really looked into Shen Shuci; how could he have known she was such a force to be reckoned with?

Is this really a woman?!

"Stop hitting me, stop—" Liang Han was honestly in so much pain that he could only lift his hands to protect his face.

Shen Shuci ignored him. This guy popped out of nowhere, even bringing out a fire extinguisher; if it had really hit her, how could a weak woman withstand it?

No time to think it through; she had to beat him up first.

So, as Liang Han begged for mercy, she turned a deaf ear until he shouted, "Big guy, for god’s sake, come save me!"

Of course, the ’big guy’ he referred to was Jiang Jiu.

In the entire underground parking garage, there were only three of them at this time.

Shen Shuci glanced at Jiang Jiu, who in turn looked around. This big guy, was he calling himself out?

But seeing that the fight was almost over, he stepped forward to break it up, then "accidentally" kicked him twice. Liang Han was so dazed from the beating that he couldn’t clearly tell who kicked or punched him.

"Do you know him?" Shen Shuci looked at Jiang Jiu.

If Liang Han wasn’t already too beaten to move, he would have jumped up and smashed his head in. How could he possibly not recognize himself?

Jiang Jiu was a bit odd-tempered. Liang Han called him tall guy, he didn’t recognize himself, and it seemed there was no need for him to recognize Jiang Jiu either.

"So, what should we do with this guy?" Shen Shuci dusted off his hands.

"Is he sick or something?" Shen Shuci looked at the man on the ground. Otherwise, why would a stranger inexplicably come over to attack her?

"He..." Jiang Jiu frowned, thinking about the idiotic things he had done that day, "must be sick."

Right now, Liang Han was in too much pain to speak, and could only watch helplessly as the two of them discussed his supposed insanity, nearly dying of anger.

Later, the hotel security, having seen the surveillance footage, hurried over and clearly understood that Liang Han had started the fight. They sent him to the hospital and also notified the Liang Family.

Once at the hospital, after the doctors examined him, they assured there was no life-threatening danger, but he definitely had been beaten up. They asked him if he needed help calling the police?

Liang Han had started the fight but ended up knocked out; he had no face to call the police.

It was only from Tang Wan’s account that Shen Shuci learned the man’s identity was Liang Han and heard about his actions at the hotel. She frowned, apparently deep in thought.

Shen Shuci pursed her lips tightly, "Why didn’t I kick him a few more times then?"

"Mom and Dad, it seems almost time to head to the airport," Shen Shuci glanced at the clock. The confusion almost made her forget the important matter.

"After this incident, how could your mother and I feel at ease going back? We just had Xiaowu cancel our tickets. What exactly happened with the Liang Family?" Shen’s father looked at her seriously.

Jiang Jinsang raised his eyes and signaled for Jiang Jiu and others to step out. Once only a few of them remained in the living room, he got up to boil some water.

Outsiders didn’t know who had beaten Liang Han, they only knew he went to the hotel to settle accounts with the Shen’s elders, had a confrontation with Tang Wan at the door of a guest room, and later was sent away from the hotel by Fifth Master...

The result was him being delivered to the hospital.

Liang Han went to settle accounts but surely couldn’t say that Shen Shuci had beaten him up. The Liang Family had no face to say it.

Rumors always start with a grain of truth but turn into wild tales. Eventually, it became that Jiang Jinsang defended his wife and beat up Liang Han.

He always had a rebellious way of doing things; Liang Han and Tang Wan getting into a fight and getting beaten was their own fault.

Thus, this pot of blame was inexplicably carried by Jiang Jinsang.

Even Qi Zeyan asked in the group chat: [@Jiang Xiaowu, I heard you beat up Liang Han?]

Jiang Jinsang: [Problem?]

Saying that Shen Shuci did it, after all, she’s a girl; wouldn’t sound good spreading around, but his reputation was already not great, so it didn’t really matter to him.

However, this kind of situation was just a cover-up for those not in the know. Many people were aware of the actual events and who had laid hands on whom.

They say that during the fight, no words were spoken, just a relentless hammering to death!

Having found out Jiang Jinsang lied to him, Qi Zeyan initially felt indignant, but then sentimental, "Only family doesn’t enter a stranger’s house!"

The Huo Family couple had just completed their formalities and were sorting out their work responsibilities, preparing to return to Beijing. They also heard the rumors about Liang Han causing trouble at the hotel. Thinking of the Shen parents’ old age, they definitely wanted to inquire if something had happened.

The Huo Family had already inquired, "No trouble, the Fifth Master and others were there; the elders are fine."

"Liang Han is too impulsive in his actions. Didn’t the Liang Family go to apologize afterwards?" Liang Han had started the trouble; surely the Liang Family had to make some gesture.

"The Liang Family... probably hasn’t gotten around to it yet."

"The issue wasn’t big to start with, but Young Master Liang made it a mess, offending the Shen elders, and it is said that even the old Jiang lady is very angry. And..." The Huo Family member coughed, "Young Master Liang was beaten to the point of hospitalization."

"I heard about it; Xiaowu had someone do it, right? How did it end up in the hospital, they hit too hard, the kid usually speaks so softly, how did they end up throwing hands..."

"No, it was Miss Shen who did it." The Huo Family member wasn’t one to lie, so he said it directly.

The Huo couple were stunned for a moment, "...then, let’s hang up for now, we’ll talk when we get back to Beijing."

After hanging up the phone, they looked at each other, turned to look out the car window, and after a long while, Huo Zheng said, "You were worried the kid would be at a disadvantage, rushing back to Beijing, do you feel like she might not need our help, that our return is somewhat redundant?"

"Then it’s just the right time to meet the in-laws."

"But the two of them are still in the courting stage."

"We aren’t often in Beijing, better to build a good relationship, just in case."

Mrs. Huo said it as if it were the most natural thing, just like when she consulted Huo Qinqi about the marriage report.
