Chapter 481: Why Is Miss Gu So Narrow-Minded?

“You shouldn’t, Third Brother. If you fight against her now, she will definitely have a good excuse to protect herself. Maybe she could even slander you with it.” Hu Ran held Third Brother’s hands. “Don’t act on impulse.”

“I am not being impulsive. But let me take a look at our wound first.”

“It shouldn’t be serious, I wear a thick winter jacket,” Hu Ran said quickly, “I’ll just check it myself in the bathroom.”

Third Brother only realized that he was about to pull down her pants when he had calmed down. He flushed immediately. “Can you walk?”

“Not much of a problem.” Hu Ran braced herself against him to stand up. Then, with Third Brother’s help, she entered the bathroom.

Although she said she was alright, she could see red spots on her fair bottoms. Now only she felt the pain on her skin.

If she showed her pain, Third Brother would feel guilty.

So, she removed her clothes and walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. “It’s not too serious. Just some scratches.”

“It still needs to be treated. What if the wound is infected?” Third Brother brought a first aid kit. “If you feel awkward because of me, I can call for a maid for you.”

“It’s not necessary,” Hu Ran refused the offer. “Don’t make a fuss out of this first. You can just do it for me.”

They were a couple anyway. It shouldn’t be a big matter if he helped her with it.

Third Brother helped her get onto the bed gently. Then, he covered the other parts of her body with the blanket.

There were so many scratches. How could she say it was not serious?

“I will disinfect the wound and apply some medication for you.”

“Third Brother, let’s go back to Hu Mansion after this,” said Hu Ran, “I will not let her go easily after hurting me. I want to make the issue big. But not in the way that she wants.”

“Okay.” Third Brother nodded. Then, he carefully disinfected the wound and applied the medication with his fingertips.

Hu Ran felt cold and itchy on her wound. It was uncomfortable. But she dared not move, fearing that she might expose her body even more.

“You married into the Sheng family to survive. But why do I feel that your situation has become more dangerous?”

Hu Ran laughed. “The tricks Second Sister-in-law pulled are just child’s play. She would not dare to poison me, nor hire an assassin to kill me in broad daylight, would she? But that woman is brutal enough to do it. So, don’t blame yourself. Nobody forced me to pretend to be a fool. And a fool is meant to be bullied by others.”

“I hate all these fights. So, I never liked it when Second Brother, Eighth Brother and Grandpa fought among themselves. But now, I understand why they must fight.”

Because they wanted to protect people they cared about.

“Let’s go. We shall leave quietly.”

They did not tell anyone and headed to Hu Mansion without anyone knowing. After some time, Gu Ziling felt strange. With Third Brother’s temperament, he should not be this quiet. He would never give in. But why wasn’t there any noise?

Had he really admitted defeat?

In fact, she had no idea that Third Brother had gone to Hu Mansion with Hu Ran.

Once Hu Ran was back to the Hu family, she would be able to cry as much as she wanted. As for Third Brother, he would keep on apologizing for not taking good care of Hu Ran which led her to be bullied in the Sheng family.

When Papa Hu saw her daughter being wounded so seriously, he summoned Third Brother into his study. “Third Young Master, do you know the thing I worry about the most? This! Xiao Ran is hurt, and nobody could stand up for her. My daughter may not be a normal person, but she should not be bullied by others.”

“You are right, Father-in-law. I am derelict in my duties to my wife. But I have no power and no say in the Sheng family. Even if I voice out, I will only make my grandfather hate me more. This will make Xiao Ran’s life even worse than it is now.”

Papa Hu calmed down and looked at Third Brother. “I understand. Without power, you can’t do anything. But as my son-in-law, you should not be suppressed by the Gu family forever or you will not be able to protect Xiao Ran. What if I give you a chance to gain power? Will you take it?”

“For the sake of Xiao Ran and myself, I will go all out.”

Papa Hu nodded. “Then I shall help you to achieve it. But I still cannot simply let what happened today pass just like this!”

“Naturally. Father-in-law, Grandpa will come later. Please let me handle him.”

Papa Hu nodded and his tone softened. “Have you got a doctor to treat her wound?”

“I have applied some medication for Xiao Ran.”

“Why is Miss Gu so narrow-minded?”

Actually, there was another more horrible person in the Hu family. but Third Brother did not say anything yet. With the problem with Gu Ziling had not been solved, they should not provoke her stepmother who wished for her death.

...

It was too peaceful in the Sheng family. Gu Ziling did not know what Third Brother was planning to do.

It was until dinnertime that Grandpa Sheng came to know that Hu Ran and Third Brother had gone to Hu Mansion.

Grandpa Sheng asked the butler to make a call to Third Brother. But when the butler returned to the dining hall, he said, “Master, Mr. Hu invites you to go to Hu Mansion.”

“What happened?”

“The Hu family said nothing.”

Grandpa Sheng departed immediately. Gu Ziling’s heart started to race.

Because she had never thought that this matter would go beyond her control. She thought that Third Brother would explode and confront her right away, then she would accuse him instead, saying that it was he who had tried to take revenge on her.

But out of her expectation, Third Brother did not do anything the whole day. And the only news they received was that Grandpa Sheng was invited to Hu Mansion.

Grandpa Sheng reached Hu Mansion shortly after. Meanwhile, Hu Ran had just fallen asleep after taking her medicine.

“What happened, Third Brother?”

“Old Sheng, Third Young Master is an honest man. He will not play all the dirty tricks. But he failed to protect my daughter. So, I have scolded him.”

“What on earth had happened?”

Papa Hu’s words made Grandpa Sheng even more puzzled.

“This morning, Xiao Ran sat on the grass to read her comics. There were glass fragments in the grass, so she was wounded,” Papa Hu explained. “Luckily, it was not serious.”

Grandpa Sheng looked at Third Brother immediately upon hearing this. “Why didn’t you tell me when it happened?”

“Xiao Ran clamored to go home, so I could only bring her here,” answered Third Brother truthfully.

“Old Sheng, it is not Third Young Master’s fault. He is just a powerless idler now who has no right to speak up. I won’t say much about this matter, you just do whatever you deem fit.”

Grandpa Sheng sighed and said to Third Brother, “Just bring Xiao Ran back to Sheng Mansion first. I will take care of the matter in person!”

“Old Sheng, she is my only daughter. Although she may not be a normal girl now, I still hope the Sheng family can provide her the best protection.”

“Naturally.” Having said that, Grandpa Sheng signaled Third Brother. “Bring Xiao Ran home now.”
