Chapter 71 - Who Did You Accuse Of Not Observing Rules?
Shen Liangchuan stood there and he stared coldly at the four women in the room. His anger suddenly emerged out of nowhere.
Is this how she had been treated on the days he hadn’t been around?
He suddenly recalled a night when she had tossed and turned in bed. She had obviously been starving, yet she hadn’t dared to admit it and had even claimed that she was on a diet.
She was already so thin, why would she need to be on a diet?
As he thought about it now, it must have been these people who had slighted her and never left any food for her!
They had been working for the Shen Family for so many years, how dare they?!
The conversation of the few women in the living room was still on-going.
“Sister Zhang, are you sure it is appropriate for us to treat her in this manner? I have a feeling that Sir wouldn’t be pleased.”
Zhang Hong replied nonchalantly, “Have you forgotten the times that Sir showed his dislike for her so outrightly? That day, Sir didn’t even allow us to address her as Madam. Tell me, how important is she in this house? And also, Old Madam refused to move back because she’s around. Both Sir and Old Madam dislike her so much, so don’t worry, even if Sir finds out, he wouldn’t blame us.”
Her sentence shocked Shen Liangchuan, as he stood rooted to the spot.
Before he heard Zhang Hong’s words, he was still puzzled about why she had kept the servant’s mistreatment to herself and not shared it with him, who was stubborn, quick-witted and a person that couldn’t take anger.
But after hearing Zhang Hong’s words, he suddenly realized that he was the reason why the servants had disrespected her.
He tightly clenched his fists and for the first time, he felt the feeling remorse and regret. If he hadn’t insulted and shamed her using his words, these people wouldn’t have dared to slight her. They wouldn’t have dared to treat her like this…
She hadn’t eaten for two days and she had had a high fever, but no one had noticed it… What else had these people done?
His anger rose and it emitted from his body. This made the temperature of the room drop by a few degrees.
“Why does it feel so cold suddenly?” Someone spoke and looked around. When she noticed Shen Liangchuan, she was stunned and stammered, “S- Sir?”
Her call made the rest of the servants turn to look at Shen Liangchuan.
Zhang Hong jumped in shock as she looked at Shen Liangchuan.
Why was Sir back? Wasn’t he supposed to be back in two days?
She widened her eyes.
Having served the Shen Family for five years, she thought that she understood Shen Liangchuan relatively well.
In these five years, no matter whatever he faced, he usually didn’t display his emotions. However, at that point in time, his eyes were burning with anger.
And the anger was so strong that he looked as if he was a devil from hell!
His features were so delicate, but they were giving out a bone-chilling coldness.
Zhang Hong swallowed her saliva and tried her best to offer him a smile. “Sir, you’re back?”
Shen Liangchuan squinted his eyes and walked forward asking, “Where’s Madam?”
Madam?
Did that mean that Mr. Shen was so furious because of Qiao Lian?
Recalling the times where Sir had humiliated Qiao Lian, Zhang Hong was relieved and answered, “We don’t know.”
An idea struck her, so she curled her lips and said, “Sir, you don’t know how hard it is to serve Ms. Qiao. One moment, she wants water and the next she wants us to clean the rag. She is really arrogant at home. Now, she refuses to stay home to rest when she’s sick. And when we weren’t paying attention, she suddenly disappeared! She really is inappropriate! This type of woman, no wonder, for money she’d-”
Before she could finish what she had to say, Shen Liangchuan forcefully kicked her. “Who did you call inappropriate?!”
