The Crippled Boss Loves Me

Chapter 248: But My Heart Aches

After a pause, Qiao Wei continued, “Sisi wasn’t wrong, so please let her off. Today, when I heard the teacher say that you brought Sisi to jump off a building, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.” She played a helpless and regretful mother with lingering fear.

“Clap, clap, clap.”

Shen Hanxing raised her hands and clapped. She shook her head and smiled, “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said that your acting skills are bad. Your acting skills are too good. If Shen Sisi had 30% of your acting skills, she would have been able to gain a firm foothold in the movie industry. Her acting would definitely be a big hit at the box office!”

Qiao Wei’s face stiffened. She looked at Shen Hanxing as if she wanted to eat her up.

Shen Hanxing sized Qiao Wei up from head to toe. Then, she sneered, “You said that Shen Sisi wasn’t wrong? Let me tell you something, Shen Sisi being born was wrong. If you really knew about propriety, righteousness, and shame, why did you give birth to her in the first place?” Shen Hanxing thought about how she could only imagine her mother, whom she had never met, through photos. She also remembered her grandmother telling her that her mother was full of anticipation for Shen Hanxing, who was still in her womb. The gentle lady would tell her stories, sing songs, and prepare clothes for Shen Hanxing. When Shen Hanxing thought about all these, her anger grew.

It was Qiao Wei and these people! If it weren’t for them, she would have had a mother who loved her and a warm childhood! Anger was burning away her rationality, but Qiao Wei was still shamelessly putting on an act. She lay on Shen Yong’s shoulder and sobbed.

Shen Hanxing suddenly took a step forward and gave her two slaps. She said, “Fine, didn’t you ask me to come at you? Let’s see if you can handle it!”

“Slap!”

“Slap!”

Two crisp slaps landed on Qiao Wei’s face. The sound echoed in the office. It was clear how much strength Shen Hanxing had used.

Shen Yong was furious and could not help but roar, “Shen Hanxing, do you still think of me as your father? No matter what, Qiao Wei is now your stepmother and my wife!”

“Mom, are you okay?” Shen Sisi’s expression changed. She threw herself at Shen Hanxing and cried, “Shen Hanxing, you are really too much. My mom has already regretted it for so many years. Can you not be so boorish and hit people whenever you feel like it?!”

If people who didn’t know about the truth behind all these heard Shen Sisi’s words, they would have thought that after Qiao Wei married into the Shen family, she was hit by Shen Hanxing every day.

Shen Hanxing’s eyes flashed with contempt and her heart was filled with ruthlessness. She raised her head and gave Shen Sisi two more slaps without hesitation. She said, “What’s the point of hitting your mother? Not only do I want to hit your mother, but I also want to hit you. Do you think you can escape from this?” There was an icy glint in her gaze.

Shen Sisi covered her face and started to cry softly.

“Sisi.” Qiao Wei’s heart ached as she hugged Shen Sisi in her arms. Her expression was helpless and sad. Qiao Wei said, “Yes, Hanxing is right. I shouldn’t have given birth to you in the first place. I shouldn’t have let you bear the name of an illegitimate daughter such that you’re unable to hold your head up high for the rest of your life. But... Hanxing, Mr. Ji is still here. You...” she sighed. She was acting as though she was a good stepmother who thought for Shen Hanxing even after being beaten up. Qiao Wei continued, “You should at least restrain yourself a little. Don’t be so hot-tempered. Men like gentle women. You... should also change your temper.”

Qiao Wei’s eyes hid a hint of malice that others could not see. She did not believe that Shen Hanxing would hit someone in front of Ji Yan. How could such a brutal and violent action not evoke any reaction from Ji Yan at all? And how could the Ji family’s madam be someone like Shen Hanxing!

Back then, in order to get the position of the Shen family’s madam, Qiao Wei had to stay low for more than twenty years. She had to pretend to be as gentle as a dove in order to coax Shen Yong so that she could have the life she had now. As for Shen Hanxing, did she really think that the glamorous days of being the madam of a wealthy family would be so easy to obtain?

“No, I think it’s very good that my wife is like this.” The corners of Ji Yan’s lips curled. Then, he leisurely took a step forward to hold Shen Hanxing’s palm. He looked at it carefully for a while, then he asked in a low voice, “Does it hurt? My wife, it’s better not to personally hit people next time. What if you hurt your hand?”

Qiao Wei and Shen Sisi’s expressions instantly twisted.

“It doesn’t matter if it hurts. I feel happy,” Shen Hanxing laughed lightly, her eyes flashing with a sharp cold light. She continued, “If these b*tches don’t get hit, they won’t know what is the meaning of ‘pain’.”

“You may not mind it, my wife, but my heart aches when I see it.” Ji Yan blew on Shen Hanxing’s palm. He helplessly said, “How can such people be worth it for you to slap them yourself? I think it’s better if I assign you a few bodyguards.”

The two of them were so lovey-dovey, as though there was no one around them. It was also as though no one else could affect them in the slightest. Qiao Wei was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and the jealousy in Shen Sisi’s heart was about to burn the sky. Why! Why could Shen Hanxing get such a perfect man like Ji Yan?! She was so dissatisfied, so dissatisfied!
