Chapter 175 - 176: I’m So Happy Too!
“Don’t dare to scream!” Senior Master Yi pushed her away, propping himself against the door, glaring menacingly at her. “Are you trying to get us into trouble? If you wish to die, then go slash your wrist, jump off a building, but don’t involve Lingling and this family!”
Senior Madame Yi shivered as he yelled at her: “Have you lost your mind? I told Senior Zhang to call the police because it’s the lawful way. How could that equate to asking for trouble?”
“Are you blind?” Senior Master Yi scathingly said. “Look at the parents of those two children, can we afford to offend them?”
Senior Master Yi glanced at the black gold card lying on the coffee table and shivered. He quickly picked it up and thrust it in front of Senior Madame Yi while shouting: “Do you see this? This type of card is not given to us common folks, even if we are rich! Do you dare to get the police to arrest these people? Are you so keen on seeking our doom?”
Senior Madame Yi was shocked, she stared at the bank card in Senior Master Yi’s hand, her lips trembling in fear. “Is this… true? Is it possible that you might have mistaken, can there be such people of high status in Jiang City?”
Senior Master Yi didn’t bother to answer her. He sank into the sofa and rubbed his face. “Call Lingling’s father and tell him to come back immediately.”
Senior Madame Yi stuttered: “Wha…What for?”
“What for?” Senior Master Yi slammed the bank card on the table. He shouted furiously: “They left the card here deliberately! They want us to go and return the card, which essentially means to apologize, so they can slap us sore. If Lingling’s father doesn’t do it, does he expect me to? The face I’ve spent my entire life building up has all been lost because of this little brat!”
His anger grew as he spoke. He suddenly got up, stormed towards Yi Xingling, grabbed her arm, raised his hand and slapped her buttock forcefully.
He didn’t hold back at all. Yi Xingling wailed from the pain.
Senior Madame Yi rushed up to stop him but was pushed away. He pointed at her and yelled furiously: “You’re the one spoiling this little brat! If you keep doing this, forget about her carrying on our family line, she might not even live to grow up! If you don’t want to kill her, you better get out of the way!”
He was so enraged that he had never been before, Senior Madame Yi didn’t dare to move a muscle.
All of Senior Master Yi’s anger and fear were expressed through his slapping.
Yi Xingling felt as if her buttock was falling apart. Nobody came to rescue her, even when she was so pained that she fainted from her muted sobs.

On the way home, Xiao Shumiao was still in a state of excitement.
He sat between Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, occasionally glancing at Gu Junzhu and then at Ye Xingbei, a beaming smile plastered on his face, looking like an innocent fool.
Ye Xingbei was entertained by him; his depressed mood, due to the injury, was instantly lifted by the boy’s radiant smile.
Ye Xingbei chuckled, rubbed his head, and asked: “Xiao Shu, doesn’t your face hurt? You’ve been injured, yet why are you so happy?”
“Daddy and Mommy are so amazing!” The little guy looked at Ye Xingbei with stars in his eyes. “Being with Daddy and Mommy makes Xiao Shu very happy. I’m not scared of anything!”
The little boy leaned over to examine Lingyue, who sat beside Gu Junzhu: “And Brother Xiaoyue is coming home with us, that makes me very happy too!”
