Chapter 221: Slaps Ringing Out
Cao Qiuhua instinctively screamed, and as a woman, all she knew to do was scream, instinctively close her eyes, and turn her head aside. She had no idea how to dodge or protect herself.
However, she didn’t feel the anticipated pain on her face. Someone tugged at her arm, and she involuntarily stepped back twice, only to realize that she was standing with Song Xiaoru, and a man had stepped in front of her, none other than Song Xiaoru’s brother, Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong casually grabbed Sun Changkui’s hand and said, "Hitting a woman isn’t very nice, is it?"
Sun Changkui’s wrist was gripped by Song Xiaodong, feeling as if it were clamped in iron. His eyes bulged as he barked, "Whether I hit her or not is my family matter. She’s my daughter-in-law, I can do as I please. Who do you think you are?"
Song Xiaodong replied coolly, "It doesn’t matter who I am, but I need to intervene in this matter," and he released Sun Changkui’s hand.
"You want to intervene?" Sun Changkui looked at Song Xiaodong and then burst out laughing, "A young fellow like you wants to meddle in Sun Changkui’s affairs? You really must’ve eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard. Well then, I must ask, how do you intend to intervene?"
"Cao Qiuhua borrowed money from you and is paying you back, but why must you force her to marry your foolish son?"
"Nonsense, she agreed to it." Sun Changkui glared at Cao Qiuhua and demanded, "Tell me, did you agree to it on your own?"
Cao Qiuhua, intimidated by Sun Changkui’s fierce demeanor, opened her mouth but couldn’t produce a sound.
Song Xiaoru, holding her arm, said, "Don’t be afraid. Xiaodong is here; he can help you resolve this."
