《BECOMING THE BUSINESS MAGNATE'S SPOILED WIFE》Chapter 34: Family Rules
Advertisement
“You’re my father, not his. Shang Yan has no obligation to come here for you and chat with those guys, right?”
Qu Xiao’s words were sharp and direct. She very clearly exposed the purpose of their birthday party.
Mr. Qu was choked speechless by her words. His face turned pink as he stood up and pointed fiercely at Qu Xiao’s nose. “How dare you!”
“How dare you talk back to me? I think you’ve forgotten the Qu family rules!”
Father Qu picked up a thick and sturdy ruler and instructed the security guards to hold Qu Xiao down, “I’m gonna remind you who should be respected in this household. How dare you ruin my birthday party?” He walked to Qu Xiao’s side with a ruthless expression and said through gritted teeth.
Qu Qi crossed her arms to watch. Such a scene was not unfamiliar to her.
Before Qu Xiao married Shang Yan, Mr. Qu would beat and scold her for even the slightest mistake.
It was precisely because of this that she had trauma about living here.
Qu Xiao struggled with all her might, but she could not fight the strength of a few strong men.
She knelt on the ground with a bang. The piercing pain from her knees made Qu Xiao frown. She raised her head and stared coldly at Mr. Qu. “How dare you touch me?”
“Shang Yan will not let you off!”
Mr. Qu chuckled. He looked at Qu Xiao with disdain. “Do you really think that Shang Yan loves you?”
“He only treats you well in public so that he can give off a kind impression to other people!”
“There are countless women out there who Shang Yan can get with. Do you really think he’ll stay with you? Qu Xiao, can you not think clearly?”

Mr. Qu squatted in front of her with a cane in his hand. There was not the slightest bit of love in his eyes.
He recalled his intention for deceiving Qu Xiao to come here today and tried to persuade her in a low voice, “I am doing this for your own good. I want you to see Shang Yan’s true colors. Something has happened to Ling Chi and our company is now facing a financial crisis. Go back and steal information on a few projects that the Shang group has been following up on recently for me...”
“I promise you that once I steal the projects, I will definitely give you a share of the money!”
“Even if Shang Yan divorces you then, I promise that I will definitely bring you back and find you a better man!”
Mr. Qu spoke with a malevolent expression. He had become a slave to profit.
When Qu Xiao heard his words, her eyes revealed deep disdain and ridicule. “You just told people to pin me to the ground. How am I supposed to believe you?”
...
In the night, in the SUV in the parking lot of the Shang Group building, Li turned back to look at Shang Yan with a perturbed expression.
Shang Yan raised his wristwatch. He had to go home late today due to a few overseas meetings. He wondered how Qu Xiao was doing.
Li took a deep breath and turned around from the front passenger seat to say to Shang Yan, “Boss, Madam... She...”
Shang Yan narrowed his eyes, and his tone was a little hurried and impatient as he frowned. “Hurry up and say it!”
Assistant Li handed his phone over. The picture on the screen was of Qu Xiao and Qu Qi’s “cake fight.” He explained the situation hesitantly, “Tonight was Mr. Qu’s birthday party. Madam went to celebrate his birthday and had a conflict with Qu Qi. I think she even hit her.”

“I heard from the guests who attended the party that Madam hasn’t yet left the Qu family villa”
Shang Yan gripped his phone. He looked at Qu Xiao’s eyes in the photo as he said angrily, “Go to the Qu family villa!”
In the morning, Qu Xiao called out to him hesitantly. Did she want to ask him if he could accompany her to the Qu family?
Shang Yan recalled her ugly expression and clenched his fingers tightly. He urged the driver to drive faster.
Li glanced at Shang Yan from the corner of his eyes and saw that Shang Yan’s expression was so gloomy that it looked like he was going to kill someone. He could not help but shiver.
The lights in the Qu family villa were bright. Mr. Qu realized that Qu Xiao had no intention of agreeing and could not hold back his anger anymore. He raised the ruler high and was about to strike Qu Xiao. At this moment, a low shout came from the door, “Stop!”
Qu Xiao’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. She saw Shang Yan coming out from the darkness in a wheelchair and her eyes could not help but be filled with tears.
She fell to the ground with all her strength and cried out in an aggrieved and frightened voice, “Hubby, what took you so long?”
Shang Yan’s heart trembled at her shout and he ordered the bodyguards and Li to restraint Mr. Qu and Qu Qi.
“Sorry I’m late.”
Shang Yan helped her up. When he saw the bruise on Qu Xiao’s wrist, his eyes shot out two cold beams as he stared at Mr. Qu. “I think I deserve some sort of explanation?”
