Chapter 433: The Waning Night
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The night was waning. Guan Meiyi sat in the car, watching the br.i.m.m.i.n.g smiles of the people outside of the car window. She had forgotten how long it had been since she last smiled.
The a.s.sistant scowled while getting into the car and forcefully closed the car door. “Ms. Guan, where will you be going?”
The a.s.sistant’s dissatisfaction was clear to Guan Meiyi. She gently raised her eyebrows, pondering where she was going to go. She didn’t want to return to the He residence and face the He household.
Finally, she told her the address of the Guan residence.
The a.s.sistant agreed and started the car, thinking that the incident tonight must not be known to the public. Otherwise, it would cause trouble for Gu Zhiqian.
The car arrived in front of the Guan residence courtyard and Guan Meiyi got out of the car, not inconveniencing the a.s.sistant to drive her in.
“Thank you for today.” Guan Meiyi politely thanked the a.s.sistant.
The a.s.sistant curled his lips and left without saying goodbye.
Guan Mei stood there, shocked. Did her a.s.sistants also treat others in this manner? Did the other party also felt like she did right now?
Walking before the courtyard doors, Guan Meiyi pressed the doorbell. Quickly, the voices of the servants within the household drifted out. Hearing that their mistress had returned, the servants quickly opened the door and welcomed Guan Meiyi in.
It had been a long time since she had last returned. Ever since she had gotten married, Guan Jianlin had only called home a handful of times and it had always been either about the situation with He Zhenxuan or the He company. He had never asked about his own daughter’s situation.
He Zhenxuan also never visited the Guan residence. He had even neglected the custom of visiting the bride’s home after marriage.
“Where’s my father?” Guan Meiyi asked.
The servant looked at the wounded Guan Meiyi, suppressing his questions. He respectfully said, “The Chairman is in the study.”
Guan Meiyi walked into the house. Coincidentally, at that second, Guan Jianlin walked out of the study. Seeing Guan Meiyi, he asked, shocked, “Why are you back home? Did He Zhenxuan come back with you? Where is he?”
Guan Meiyi’s heart sank. The wounds on her face were obvious. Couldn’t her father see them? Why did he only think about He Zhenxuan?
“He hit me.” Guan Meiyi’s face hardened and she sat on the sofa.
Guan Jianlin finally noticed the wounds on his daughter’s body and he raised his eyebrows. “Why did he hit you? Did you do something wrong?”
Guan Meiyi’s heart trembled. “Shouldn’t a normal father, seeing his own daughter hit, angrily storm to seek justice from the other party? Father, even if you don’t go seeking reparations from the He family, this shouldn’t be your reaction. The one who was. .h.i.t was your own daughter, shouldn’t you be angry?”
Guan Jianlin was a little embarra.s.sed and immediately sat down to ask, “Is your wound severe?”
Guan Meiyi maintained a cold face and didn’t respond. Her entire body was bruised and swelling. Wasn’t its severity clear?
Seeing that his daughter was not responding, Guan Jianlin continued, “I don’t believe that He Zhenxuan would hit you without reason. Tell me exactly what happened.”
Guan Meiyi took in a deep breath. “He told me to accompany him to a dinner party and forced me to drink with the customer. I refused.”
Guan Meiyi’s words were brief but in reality, the circ.u.mstances were much worse. He Zhenxuan’s customer was once Guan Meiyi’s fanboy. Knowing that He Zhenxuan was Guan Meiyi’s husband, he had requested that he brought Guan Meiyi with him.
After Guan Meiyi went, the fanboy kept touching her and forcing her to drink alcohol. He also s.e.xually hara.s.sed her.
And He Zhenxuan, as Guan Meiyi’s husband, only sat there observing it with cold eyes.
That was the last straw for Guan Meiyi and she overturned the cup of alcohol, yelling at the fanboy.
For the sake of his business, He Zhenxuan immediately became hostile and slapped Guan Meiyi.
