Chapter 905: Unrepentant

Besides, she had brought him to the Su residence. For the sake of her aunt, she also had no choice but to overthink, or worse, think in an unpleasant direction.

“I understand,” Huo Xuanzhou’s lips curled up as he tried his best to control his emotions. It was not the first time he had been misunderstood or framed anyway.

However, he had never been so disappointed, upset, angry, and sorrowful before. He could not stay any longer and turned to leave.

Ling Sheng looked at his cold and lonely back view and opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say either. She thumped herself on the head. Oh no, Huo Xuanzhou was angry at her question.

She had thought that with his frivolous personality, he should have an indifferent attitude toward everything. She had not expected him to get so angry. It was her fault for not thinking it through and suspecting him before she had concrete evidence.

After Huo Xuanzhou left, Ling Sheng kept feeling depressed. She tossed and turned on the bed with her phone, unable to fall asleep. She did not know how to apologize to him.

“What’s wrong?” Jun Shiyan looked at the worried young lady, who had been frowning the whole time, and reached out to grab her shoulder. If she continued squirming around, he would get dizzy. Ever since Huo Xuanzhou left, she had been in this state. “You suspect Huo Xuanzhou?”

Ling Sheng’s eyes widened abruptly as she looked at the man in front of her. His expression said everything.

She also felt that there was something wrong with her brain. When she saw General rush over and her aunt fall into the water, she had suspected Huo Xuanzhou then. Preconceived notions weren’t a good thing indeed.

“Sheng Sheng, the more someone appears not to care about anything on the surface, the more sensitive they are on the inside. It’s precisely because there are too few people he can treat with sincerity and care about. Hence, he cherishes them and is even more careful.” Upon seeing the young lady’s expression and recalling Huo Xuanzhou’s expression and actions when he left, Jun Shiyan could roughly guess what had happened between the two of them.

“Huo Xuanzhou doesn’t have a heart.” Although Ling Sheng said that, she knew very well inside that he was ruthless and behaved like a scumbag toward other people. However, he had always been honest toward her. He genuinely doted on her like a younger sister.

Jun Shiyan let out a low laugh and continued, “People like him are very similar to your father. After being suspected by someone he cares about, he will get angry. If he doesn’t care about you and doesn’t treat you as one of his own, he wouldn’t have been so emotional.”

“Third Master, should I find him and apologize to him officially?” Ling Sheng felt that she really seemed to have hurt Huo Xuanzhou’s heart unintentionally. She was also quite sad.

Before Jun Shiyan could answer, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Su Jing ran in noisily and shouted while panting, “Sister Sheng Sheng, Huo Xuanzhou has been tied up. Uncle wants to whip him. Hurry up and take a look!”

Ling Sheng’s eyes suddenly constricted as she looked at Jun Shiyan. She had already guessed the cause of the incident. Everyone must have determined that her aunt had fallen into the water because of Huo Xuanzhou!

Upon seeing the young lady jump straight off the bed to run out, Jun Shiyan pulled at her and helped her put on her clothes properly. He only rushed over with her after wrapping himself tightly.

Su Jing had said that the servant had testified that he had seen Huo Xuanzhou walk past General’s residence. He was the only one he saw, so he suspected that he had released General.

His red scarf and his usual character made the Su Family suspect that he had done it, that he had planned everything deliberately. So, they brought him over to question him.

Ever since yesterday, Huo Ci had felt that there was something strange about Huo Xuanzhou’s visit. That brat must have been hiding something from him with Huo Xuanzhou. Thus, he got someone to investigate.

Not long ago, the investigation results had been given to him. Huo Xuanzhou was chasing after Su Yan and had even collected a lot of information. Now that something had happened, he was the number one suspect.

Everyone was standing in the Su Family’s living room. Aside from the old folks in the family, everyone was present. All of them were glaring at Huo Xuanzhou furiously.

Huo Xuanzhou knelt in the middle of the room and straightened his body, looking indifferent. He pretended not to see anything. Wasn’t it just a beating? It was not like he had not been beaten before!

“Ah Zhou, did you do this?” Huo Ci’s eyes were dangerous as he tossed a whip in his hand.

Huo Xiao was so angry that he wanted to snatch the whip away and give him a beating. No wonder this little beast was so solicitous and even wanted to be their chauffeur! So this was his plan!

Su Xiyin frowned, feeling conflicted. She had not suspected anything either when Ah Zhou had followed her over here yesterday. She had not expected him to target Yan’er and do such an embarrassing thing. How was she going to explain this to her family now?!

“Aren’t you all sure that I did it? Would you believe me if I said I didn’t do it?” Huo Xuanzhou’s lips curled up in a self-deprecating smile. Look, not only Ling Sheng, but everyone had also determined that he had done it!

It turned out that his character was really that bad. However, what was strange was that he was not angry or annoyed. There was only grief left in his heart.

To think that he had always thought that he had a pretty good character. That they wouldn’t go so far as to pin all kinds of sh*t on him.

“Speak nicely.” It was rare for Huo Ci to be solemn. The whip in his hand lashed at the air, creating a loud sound. “Let me ask you one last time. Did you release General? Did you wear the scarf on purpose?”

Huo Xuanzhou put on an uncaring expression. He raised his eyebrows and smiled before saying casually, “Sixth Uncle, I’m speaking the truth. It’s not me.”

The Su Family members were all infuriated by his nonchalant attitude, especially the third son, Su Cunli. He only had this one precious daughter, yet this pig wanted to woo her!

What kind of person was Huo Xuanzhou? Moreover, everyone in the capital knew about those disgraceful things that he did on a usual basis! No family with a good daughter was unwilling to let him defile them.

However, after all that choosing and picking, he had not expected him to be so bold as to target the daughter of their Su Family in the end!

Upon seeing his unchanged reaction, Huo Ci raised his whip directly and was about to hit him. “Let’s see how long you can keep being stubborn!”

He had not expected that this scumbag Ah Zhou would become more and more bold. He had actually dared to extend his hand to their Su Family. The person in his wishing thinking was even the only daughter in this generation of the Su Family!

He also knew that he wooed women for novelty’s sake. He would throw her away once he was done. He definitely could not let him harm her cousin.

However, although he was angry, as his uncle, he had watched him grow up. He knew that even though he was a mess, he still had a basic moral bottom line. It was impossible for him to resort to such despicable means to woo a girl.

“Are you going to beat me or not?! If not, give it to me!” Huo Xiao bellowed angrily.

He might as well beat this scumbag to death. He usually turned a blind eye when he caused trouble.

However, he could not do that this time. She was the daughter of the Su Family, and if this matter was not handled well, this group of protective men in the Su Family would skin and eat him alive!

“Grandpa, you guys don’t believe me even after I told you. I really didn’t do this.” Huo Xuanzhou looked at Huo Xiao, his eyes still full of nonchalant and lazy mockery.

Huo Ci did not waste his breath on him either. Without hesitation, he whipped him forcefully. “Do you know your mistake?”

“Sixth Uncle, even if you people beat me to death today, I didn’t do it either.” Huo Xuanzhou’s back remained straight. It hurt when the whip struck his body, but his heart was what hurt and felt disappointed even more.

Did they think that because he was a scumbag, he would not get sad and feel pain? Even if he was a beast, it would hurt!

“You’re unrepentant!” Huo Ci’s eyes darkened, flames dancing in them as he raised his whip again. “I think you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin[1]!”

Couldn’t he speak nicely? Why did he have to argue like this with them? Was he being stubborn? Given his character, would others believe him if he said he had not done it?
