Chapter 43: Only Ten Whips

Housekeeper Shen lowered his head and took the whip a maid passed over. Under Shen Chuchen’s eerie smile, the man controlled the unbearing feeling in his heart.

He closed his eyes and thought of the young boy’s tranquil eyes. He thought that his boss was courting a disaster.

Why would he make a child’s life so difficult?

Housekeeper Shen wasn’t the only one who was confused, even Ye Sang was puzzled.

She struggled a few times and tried to pull her Daddy’s hand off her mouth but Huo Yao didn’t even budge.

His cold eyes exposed that he was leisurely watching the show.

Shen Chuchen smiled casually, “How many whips will make you forgive him? Is ten enough?”

“Uncle Shen… uh…” Ye Niannian widened his eyes in shock. When Housekeeper Shen brought the whip over, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

He opened his mouth to explain himself, but Shen Chuchen saw through his intention and covered his mouth, lowering his tone, “Shut up.”

“I’m not Huo Yao, you aren’t my child either. If you say one more word, I’ll throw you in a snake cave to play.”

It was obvious that Shen Chuchen’s intention was to torture Duan Jinyan.

From how dark it sounded, other people would probably think that Duan Jinyan dug up his ancestor’s grave or something.

Ye Niannian’s face was pale from terror and stared at the scene in front of him anxiously, feeling like he caused trouble this time.

…

Hearing his adoptive father’s words, Duan Jinyan had expected this as his lips curved up in a tiny smile.

His clear and pretty eyes glanced across everyone present there and his beautiful face was terrifyingly quiet and calm.

Housekeeper Shen received his orders and walked towards Duan Jiangan, looking at him complicatedly.

He didn’t know what their young master did to make their boss torture him in so many ways.

The beautiful and delicate boy was lost in thoughts, but when he saw Huo Yao protecting Ye Sang, his smile turned into a sneer.

When Housekeeper Shen whipped Duan Jinyan heavily, Huo Yao covered Ye Sang’s eyes without a second thought.

Pa-

The whip landed firmly on him and the ten-year-old boy’s back immediately started bleeding. He looked down silently as he bent his thin backbone slightly and sweat filled his forehead.

After the first whip, it was dead silence.

Ye Niannian’s knees were soft as he knelt down on the ground without daring to say anything.

He heard from his family that Shen Chuchen was a vicious and merciless person; he was probably as insane as Huo Yao.

The five-year-old Ye Niannian didn’t believe it and threw a tantrum to make their parents bring him here to play.

His father couldn’t convince him, so he could only agree.

Ye Niannian wouldn’t have known if he didn’t come, but now he was terrified.

“Uncle Shen, stop it, it’s too much.” Ye Niannian’s forehead throbbed and he threw his fears aside. He tried to grab Shen Chuchen’s hand but the man coldly avoided his hand.

Shen Chuchen blinked casually, “It’s only ten whips. If he can’t even handle this, for what reasons do you think that Duan Jinyan can live in the Shen family?”

The Shen Family was big in both the business industry and in the underground, they dealt with numerous organizations and did deals that couldn’t be exposed.

Huo Yao was the same kind of person as Shen Chuchen. He had seen far more than just this.
