Chapter 204: Have A Conscience

Situ Zhangge pointed at the cut on Yu An’s collarbone. “Since you insist on coming to her defense… I’ll let you off the hook and forget about the whole thing if you readily accept double the repercussions of the hurt my sister went through. How about this?”

Raising his brows, Gu Xiaohan smiled. “Lady Situ, do I have your word?”

Situ Zhangge replied, “No take-backs.”

Gu Xiaohan spoke to Su Ruowan hushedly, “No one will hurt you in my presence.”

Catching a glimpse of the hurt flickering in Yu An’s eyes, Shen Xi sighed. Why did Yu An fall for a two-timer like Gu Xiaohan?

“Han, no.” Su Ruowan softly wailed and pushed him. “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. I should be the one taking it.”

Gu Xiaohan whispered closely in her ear, “Be a sweetheart and listen to me.”

Shaking her head, Su Ruowan shoved him aside and freed herself from his embrace. She stood before Situ Zhangge. “Situ…”

Slap.

Denying her the chance to talk, Situ Zhangge raised her hand and slapped Su Ruowan in the face.

Su Ruowan widened her eyes in disbelief and grievance. “You…”

Situ Zhangge swung another blow to her face. “What? Who are you to give me your lousy excuses? Don’t play dumb after what you’ve done. You sure are shameless to ask for forgiveness. Do you think everyone is like Gu Xiaohan?”

It never occurred to Su Ruowan that Situ Zhangge would slap her out of nowhere. While the burning pain in her cheeks fueled her with humiliation and rage, Su Ruowan was itching to tear apart the arrogant woman yet remained a meek and withering flower on the surface.

Shen Xi was surprised to learn what a spitfire Lady Situ was to come straight at Su Ruowan. Nevertheless, she only had admiration towards Situ Zhangge after seeing Su Ruowan’s cheeks swelled up like a pufferfish.

Helping Su Ruowan up, Gu Xiaohan came in between her and Situ Zhangge. “Lady Situ, don’t push it.”

“What’s wrong with picking on her? She can be malicious and attack my sister, yet I can’t return the favor?” Situ Zhangge scoffed. “Gu Xiaohan, are you dumb? Why are you sticking up for a woman like her?”

Standing at the corner, Yu An suddenly lost it. “I said leave them be!”

Startled, Situ Zhangge turned around and retorted in anger because Yu An refused to fight for herself. “Song Yu An, are you still a member of the Situ family? Why are you so useless? Is it worth it for a two-timer?”

Even though her eyes were red and her body still shaking, Yu An calmly turned to Gu Xiaohan. “Take her and leave.”

Gu Xiaohan’s eyes alighted with disdain as he coldly glanced at Yu An. He carried Su Ruowan and took off.

Situ Zhangge glared at Yu An in frustration. She did not want to bother herself with Yu An but could not bring herself to do so when Yu An was in a pickle. Taking Yu An by the hand, Situ Zhangge pulled her along and asked, “Did you come back today to see that scumbag?”

Yu An shook her head and weakly replied, “I’m here to see Grandpa.”

Situ Zhangge gritted her teeth. “At least you still have a conscience!”

Shen Xi found out through their conversation that Yu An was the granddaughter of the Situ family.

There was a cut on Yu An’s collarbone and although it looked rather gruesome, the cut was not deep nor was there much blood.

She tore the ball of her thumb during the fall and was bleeding slightly. However, everywhere else seemed fine.

Unwilling to cause a stir, Yu An only had Situ Zhangge and Shen Xi by her side while the doctor swiftly tended to her wound.
