Chapter 536: 522, Take you to Revenge (1)_1 Chapter 536: 522, Take you to Revenge (1)_1 âStop the nonsense!â Chu Yan said sternly, his cold voice causing both Jiang Fan and Chu Ruohan to jump.
He stood up and walked over, looking at Chu Ruohan with a sharp gaze.
âDid you ignore what I told you last time? Your wedding is in a few days, why are you provoking Jian Qing now?â
âGrandfather, she hit me first,â Chu Ruohan bit her lip resentfully, trying to defend herself.
âIf you donât provoke others, they wonât hit you!â Chu Yan said harshly, feeling a throbbing headache.
âDad, youâŠâ Jiang Fan had started to speak but was promptly interrupted by Chu Yan.
âStop defending her, why didnât you stop her earlier? Did your brain shut off when she acted out?â
Jiang Fan looked awkward under his cold gaze and fell silent, not daring to speak up for Chu Ruohan anymore.
âDid Jian Qing say anything before she left?â Chu Yihen asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fanâs face changed.
âShe said she would give us a major gift at Ruohanâs wedding.â
While speaking, she grabbed his arm nervously. âYihen, what is she planning to do?â
Hearing this, both Chu Yihen and Chu Yan looked even graver.
âRuohan, go and apologize to Jian Qing with me,â Chu Yihen commanded, not allowing any objections.
Chu Ruohan lifted her head abruptly, her eyes red as she looked at him, âNo, I wonât, Iâm the one who was hurt the most, why does it have to be me who apologizes to her?â
Why was it that no one ever seemed to be on her side? Even though they were her closest family, they always seemed to favor Jian Qing.
âBrother, you are forcing me to marry a man I do not love, and now youâre treating me like this, am I still your sister?â
She growled lowly, tears streaking down her carefully made-up face, looking pitiful.
Yet, the man in front of her was Chu Yihen, who remained unmoved as he grabbed her hand, intent on taking her with him.
âI wonât go, Mom, I donât want to go!â Chu Ruohan clung to Jiang Fanâs arm, crying hysterically.
âI donât want to go, I donât want to.â
She would rather die than apologize to Jian Qing.
Jiang Fan was caught between them, but in the end, he couldnât help but plead on Chu Ruohanâs behalf.
âYihen, donât force her anymore, sheâs your sister after all, and sheâs going to get married in a few days, what will people say if she keeps crying like this?â
âIf I have to apologize to Jian Qing, I wonât get married. Iâd rather die!â Chu Ruohan hardened her heart and her eyes flashed with a hint of madness.
The atmosphere grew tense. Chu Yihenâs handsome face darkened further and he couldnât stand people threatening him.
âYihen, letâs leave this for later, letâs see first if there are any moves from Jian Qingâs side,â Chu Yan finally spoke.
Chu Yihen shot her a chilling look and let go of her hand. âFrom now until the wedding, you are not allowed to go out without my permission. Anyone who lets her out is going against me.â
Having said this, he took the car key and left straight away.
âGo back to your room.â Chu Yan ordered sternly.
Chu Ruohan glanced at Jiang Fan, her eyes filled with tears, then turned and ran upstairs.
âCausing nothing but trouble,â Chu Yan muttered, leaving with a sigh.

In the evening
The soft yellow light fell on the womanâs delicate face, casting a faint halo.
In the mirror, a small bruise could be seen on the womanâs forehead. Against her refined fac, it was quite an eyesore.
Jian Qing touched her forehead lightly, a flash of helplessness crossing her brow.
How should she explain this when Xiaojing came back later?
Suddenly, footfall could be heard from the staircase.
Jian Qing felt a sense of alarm. Without having figure dout how to deal with this, the next moment a tall man appeared at the door.
âWhat are you doing upstairs?â
The man had a low and sexy voice. Jian Qing saw him walking over and quickly ran her hands through her hair, trying to hide the wound on her forehead.
âWhy did you come back so early?â
âI brought food for a silly girl,â Quan Jingwu came behind her and stretched his arm around her waist.
âWhat happened to your hair?â
âOh, the wind messed it up,â Jian Qing said, burying her head into his chest.
Quan Jingwu looked down at her and noticed something amiss. âWhatâs wrong? Are you not feeling well?â
âNo,â Jian Qing replied in a soft voice.
His eyes darkened as he pulled her out from his embrace, holding her chin and locking their gazes.
âJian Qing!â
Jian Qing reached out to stop him, but it was already too late.
âDonât move!â He gripped her hand firmly as his gaze focused on the bruise on her forehead.
In an instant, a dangerous coldness radiated from him, his deep purple eyes filled with anger.
âWhat happened?â
No wonder he hadnât seen her in the living room when he got home, and she was acting rather strange. So, sheâd hurt her forehead.
âItâs just a minor injury, itâs nothing,â Jian Qing said with a faint smile, wrapping her arms around his waist.
âWho did it?â He asked insistently, his eyes filled with icy rage.
âSweetheart tell me, or Iâll have it investigated.â
Jian Qing sighed helplessly and quickly recounted what had happened at the jewelry store.
Having heard her story, Quan Jingwuâs thin lips curled into a bloodthirsty grin.
Oh, Chu Ruohan?
His woman, whom he cherished and protected, was hurt by the Chu family. They were really courting death.
Looking at the bruise on her forehead, a hint of concern flickered in Quan Jingwuâs eyes.
âSilly girl, why didnât you tell me you were hurt?â
He gently stroked the area of her wound, his tone filled with indulgence and helplessness.
âI didnât want to upset you,â said Jian Qing, flashing a smile at him.
âLetâs go!â Quan Jingwu took her hand and led her out.
âWait, where are we going?â Jian Qing asked as she tried to stop him.
Quan Jingwu gave a cold smile, âRevenge.â
Daring to push his wife, he would make sure that Chu Ruohan suffered a brain concussion.
âGoing to the Chu family?â Jian Qingâs mouth twitched slightly.
She was familiar with her husbandâs aggressive ways.
Nonetheless, she was fond of it.
Quan Jingwu hummed in affirmation, dragging her out with brisk steps.
As they reached the stairs, Jian Qing quickly grabbed his arm. âWait, Xiaojing, listen to me.â
âHmm?â Quan Jingwu stopped and turned to look at her.
âLetâs not rush to take revenge on Chu Ruohan. Her wedding isnât it a few days? We can express our âcongratulationsâ to her then,â said Jian Qing, a mischievous gleam in her eyes.
âBut she hurt you,â Quan Jingwu said coldly, his voice filled with murderous intent. It was clear that if Chu Ruohan were here now, he would kill her on the spot.
Jian Qing smiled warmly and burrowed into his chest.
She tiptoed and kissed him on the jaw.
âDonât be angry, weâll settle this with her in a few days. Beating her up is letting her off too easily.â
