Chapter 3: Change in Temperament
Fourth Young Master? Yuan Shu recalled that he was her husband"s fourth brother, Shi Bin. If he got sent to the police station after he had an argument with someone, the police station was most likely a place people handled cases, right?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu frowned.
It was already embarra.s.sing enough for a child from a prominent family to quarrel with someone on the street. Now, they even got sent to the police station and actually wanted their elder to pick them up. How shameful and laughable! If other families found out, they would definitely lose face!
Chu Mei and Li Yue saw that Yuan Shu had picked up a call, but then her expression became very ugly. For a moment, they didn"t know what had happened.
Chu Mei gritted her teeth and boldly stepped forward again. "Madam, this child…"
Yuan Shu didn"t say anything. She only glanced at Chu Mei, but it made Chu Mei stop.
How strange. In the past, Yuan Shu didn"t have such an intimidating aura. She only knew how to throw a tantrum and smash things while telling her to shut up and get lost, but today, Yuan Shu only glanced at her. However, Yuan Shu looked so intimidating that she didn"t dare to make a sound anymore.
Yuan Shu ignored this group of people and returned to her room to get something before walking downstairs.
Li Yue and Chu Mei were stunned. Didn"t Yuan Shu come out to talk about the child? Where was she going?
Without thinking, Li Yue chased after Yuan Shu to stop her. As she chased her, she shouted, "Madam, please don"t go yet. Talk to Miss Chu first! Madam, where are you going?"
Yuan Shu stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Li Yue coldly as she said, "Are you the master or am I the master? Is there a need to report to you where I go? You seem to want to order me."
Li Yue suddenly stopped in her tracks and said awkwardly, "No, I was just too anxious. Please forgive me."
Yuan Shu ignored her and instructed someone to prepare a car. She wanted to go to the police station.
In the car, the driver couldn"t help but ask, "Madam, why do you suddenly want to go to the police station? We"ve already reported Sir"s disappearance."
As Yuan Shu looked at the scenery outside the window, she replied calmly, "To pick up Fourth Young Master."
"Pick up Fourth Young Master?" The driver was even more puzzled.
In the entire Shi family, not even a pet puppy could get along with Yuan Shu, especially Fourth Young Master!
He was young and impetuous, and he felt that Yuan Shu had used some dirty tricks to marry his brother. Whenever he interacted with Yuan Shu, he made things difficult for her. Therefore, if something happened to Fourth Young Master, no matter what, Yuan Shu shouldn"t be the one to pick him up! Moreover, hadn"t she always ignored the Shi family"s matters? Why did she suddenly want to interfere today?
Could it be that h.e.l.l had frozen over today? The driver stole a glance out the window, then he dismissed the idea.
Before the driver could figure it out, Yuan Shu waved the thing in her hand. "I"ll discipline him after I pick him up."
The driver glanced at Yuan Shu from the corner of his eye through the rearview mirror. He saw Yuan Shu holding a belt in her hand. It was two fingers wide and was probably made of top-grade calfskin. It even had a faint l.u.s.ter.
The driver fell silent. Was this still the squeamish Madam he knew? She actually wanted to hit Fourth Young Master? She actually dared to hit Fourth Young Master?!
Was Madam possessed or something?
When the car arrived at the entrance of the police station, Yuan Shu saw the driver sitting in the car without moving, so she became unhappy and ordered with a frown, "Open the door."
Hearing Yuan Shu"s voice, the driver finally came back to his senses. He hurriedly got out of the car and opened the car door for Yuan Shu. As he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked at the impatient Yuan Shu, he finally felt more at ease.
This expression was more like Madam.
As Yuan Shu watched the driver"s actions and recalled her previous memories, she took note of this scene.
The driver looked at Yuan Shu, who was standing at the entrance of the police station in slippers. He couldn"t help but say, "Are you really going to pick up Fourth Young Master? Why don"t I call Second Young Master and ask him to discipline him?"
As Yuan Shu looked at the driver"s troubled expression, her gaze became fierce as she said, "What? He fought with someone on the street and caused so much trouble that he even got sent to the police station. Can"t I discipline him? I"m his sister-in-law!"
He dared to fight with others on the street today and got sent to the police station. If he wasn"t disciplined properly, he might cause even more trouble tomorrow. It would be fine if he was the only one who bore the responsibility, but if the entire family was implicated, it would be a big deal.
If she didn"t discipline him now, it would be too late to regret it in the future!
