Chapter 42: The House Rules of the Shen Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing this, the two bodyguards trembled and almost fainted.
After they regained their composure, they immediately kowtowed. “Young Master, please show us some mercy! Young master…”
However, even until they bled from kowtowing, Shen Shaobai did not change his mind. It was as if he had no empathy and nothing could make him waver.
Very quickly, other bodyguards rushed forward and retrieved some pieces of equipment from the shelves according to his orders. They then pressed the two bodyguards down… and chopped off their hands and feet. Blood squirted into the air immediately and the scene turned into a bloody mess.
“Ahhhhh—”
Accompanied by their screams, they were dragged out of the basement.
Su Meiya trembled upon watching that scene and fear erupted in her. She thought that she was no longer scared of Shen Shaobai like she did in the past, but she realized that she was only lying to herself.
For the past four years, even though Shen Shaobai was still the legal inheritor of the Shen Family, he did not return to the Shen Family.
Hence, she had forgotten about his ruthlessness.
She thought that he was blind and was basically a handicap. However, she just realized that… even though he lost his sight and he was no longer as dazzling as before, his character did not change one bit!
“As for you, Meiya, do you want to be whipped, or do you want to be gang-raped?”
At that moment, Shen Shaobai directed the question to Su Meiya.
Hearing that, Su Meiya was shocked and she lost her composure as she stammered. “Big Brother… you… are you… kidding with me…”
“Do you think I am in the mood for jokes?”
He stood there and spoke in a careless, indifferent tone.
As if punishing Su Meiya was as easy and straightforward as killing an ant.
At that moment, Su Meiya turned pale and forced a smile. “Big Brother, isn’t she just a maid, I am your sister! How can you punish your biological sister because of someone like her?”
Biological sister?
Shen Shaobai heard her and felt ridiculous.
He suddenly smiled and said, “You are right, you are my biological sister. I should not punish you in this manner for an outsider.”
Hearing that, Su Meiya felt relieved and was happy.
However, before she could get rid of all of her fears, she heard him say again, “Then, you did not ask me for my permission before punishing my woman. According to the house rules of the Shen Family, you shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane for disrespecting your elders!”
Shen Shaobai did not want to stay any longer after finishing his words and turned around to leave.
At that moment, Su Meiya’s smile froze on her heavily made-up face, looking ridiculous.
Very quickly, she came back to her senses and wanted to chase after him, but before she could do that, some bodyguards came forward and stopped her.
“Big Brother, she was the one who first broke my little finger and that was why I wanted to punish her! As for gang-raping, it did not really happen and you have already punished them. Why should I still be punished for this?”
Su Meiya was not stupid, she knew that he was using the house rules of the Shen Family as a formal way to punish her.
“This is because I am the legal inheritor of the Shen Family.”
Shen Shaobai stopped in his tracks and spoke the truth.
Su Meiya choked and could not retort.
She watched as he turned around slowly. It was as if his face was covered in ice, even though his eyes were blind, they were still deep like a black hole. With one look, one would sink into them indefinitely.
Suddenly, she realized.
Even if he was handicap, as long as he was the legal inheritor of the Shen Family, he would bear the power. Hence, although he did not appear at events, it did not mean that she could override him and act tyrannically!
As she thought that, she heard his voice that was laced with threat. “Even after four years, I’m still the inheritor of the Shen Family. What does this mean? This means that, in the heart of the Old Master, the bunch of you are immature and undependable. Hence, he does not bear any hope for all of you! Meiya, please let everyone know that I do not want to be bothered. Else, I cannot promise that I will not return to the Shen Family.”
With these words, Su Meiya’s pale face and red lips made her look ghostly.
He wanted to return to the Shen Family? No, how could he!
“Meiya, you should be glad.”
Finishing what he wanted to say, Shen Shaobai did not stay any longer and left the basement.
Glad, glad about what!
Su Meiya was confused and her mind was blank.
Shi Mei was the only one who guessed it.
She should be glad, glad that Xia Weiai was not gang-raped. Else, her punishment would not be only thirty strokes of the cane!
