Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 119 Family Law

While managing the situation using his own resources, Chi Moqing also called the police to intervene. To stop the continued decline in Chi's stock price, Chi Moqing held a press conference to clarify that the person in the video was not him, and that he had secretly arranged for the acquisition of Chi's stock.

Yan Zuozuo stood on the second floor, watching as cars from various magazines, newspapers, and even television stations started up and waited outside her door. She couldn't help but sigh. Chi Moqing came over and hugged her, saying gently, "What are you looking at?"

Yan Zuozuo leaned against him, pouting, and said, "When you do good deeds and donate to charity, you don't see so many reporters. But now that you've been framed, they all come out."

Chi Moqing chuckled: "Let them guard it. This saves us the trouble of hiring bodyguards."

"Only you can think so clearly." Yan Zuozuo smiled, recalling her mother's call earlier. If she guessed correctly, Chi Moqing's parents should have called as well.

Sure enough, Chi Moqing's phone rang. It was his mother calling, asking them to come back. Yan Zuozuo was a little worried, "Could it be because of the video?"

Chi Moqing smiled and nodded: "It's alright, don't worry."

Yan Zuozuo forced a smile, but seeing the large number of reporters outside, she frowned. "How are we going to get out?"

Chi Moqing smiled and asked his assistant to rent a taxi for him, which went directly into the underground parking garage. They took the elevator directly from the garage to the car, thus avoiding the reporters outside.

When they arrived at the place where Chi Moqing's parents lived, they saw Chi's father sitting there with a gloomy face, and Chi's mother sitting beside him, obviously very worried.

Chi Moqing led Yan Zuozuo through the door, saying, "Mom and Dad, we're back."

Mr. Chi didn't speak, but Mrs. Chi seemed very nervous, occasionally giving them subtle hints with her eyes, which Yan Zuozuo couldn't understand. She also greeted everyone along with Chi Moqing.

"Kneel down!" Chi's father, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, startling Yan Zuozuo. Before she could react, she heard a thud, and then Chi Moqing knelt down.

She looked blankly at Chi's father, then at Chi's mother, and then knelt down beside Chi Moqing.

Mrs. Chi was terrified and quickly went to help her up, saying, "Girl, what are you doing? Get up, get up quickly."

Yan Zuozuo looked at Chi Moqing, then at Chi's father, and saw that Chi's father frowned slightly. "Zuozuo, get up and go back to your room with your mother."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "Dad, if you blame Mo Qing because of the video, I'll stay with you."

Chi Moqing turned to look at her, and said with a faint smile, "I'm fine. You go inside with Mom, be good."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head. Although she was a little afraid of Chi's father, she still said firmly, "Dad, if you are really angry because of the video, I will stay here with you. The person in the video is not Mo Qing. She has already explained it to me. Don't be angry."

Mr. Chi glanced at Yan Zuozuo, who was heavily pregnant, and then at Mrs. Chi. “Take her inside.”

Chi's mother looked somewhat embarrassed, but Chi Moqing turned to look at Yan Zuozuo instead, "Listen to me, come inside with me quickly."

Yan Zuozuo refused to move, and with her belly so big, Chi's mother didn't dare to pull her away forcefully. She could only try to persuade her gently, "It's all a man's business. Let's go inside and talk. Zuozuo, be good."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head, still trying to salvage the situation, but she wouldn't budge. To be honest, Chi's mother was also very worried about Chi Moqing. After all, he was her son, and this incident had caused quite a stir; she was genuinely concerned, fearing that Chi's father might actually hit him.

So, turning to look at Chi's father, he said, "Old Chi, let's let it go this time. Look at Zuo Zuo, she's heavily pregnant..."

Chi's father glanced at Yan Zuozuo, then sternly rebuked Chi Moqing, "Come to the study with me!"

Chi Moqing followed her inside. Yan Zuozuo wanted to follow, but Chi's mother stopped her, sighing softly, "Don't worry, it's nothing."

Yan Zuozuo hesitated, turning to look at the study, then at Chi's mother, "Mom, what's going on?"

However, before she could finish speaking, she heard a series of slapping sounds coming from inside, followed by her father's stern reprimand. Yan Zuozuo was startled, her face turning pale. "Daddy hit him?"

Chi's mother looked reluctant, but didn't want to frighten Yan Zuozuo, so she just pulled her to sit on the sofa and said, "This time it was Mo Qing's fault. How could someone take such a video and upload it online? He should be punished."

“But the person inside isn’t him.” Yan Zuozuo was terrified, her eyes fixed on the study, the sound of whips cracking in her ears, enough to imagine the skin being torn apart.

“If he hadn’t given others an opportunity, how could that video have been leaked? Whether it was framing or false accusation, his actions have harmed this family. You’re pregnant, and he’s entangled with other women. Where does that leave you?” Although Chi’s mother felt sorry for her son, she still spoke very seriously.

The sound of the whip cracked again, and Yan Zuozuo's heart pounded. She gripped her mother's hand tightly. "Mom, please go and persuade Dad. This is not something Mo Qing wanted to happen. Please go and persuade Dad." She was on the verge of tears as she spoke, and she got up and ran to the study.

Unable to stop her mother, and unable to get in the door, Yan Zuozuo could only keep pounding on the study door, choking back tears, "Dad, please stop hitting it, it's not Mo Qing's fault... Cai Qingqing's mother has cancer, Mo Qing can't just stand by and do nothing... Dad..."

On one hand, Chi's father was worried that he would be too violent, and on the other hand, he was worried about Yan Zuozuo. Chi's mother called out, "Old Chi, that's enough, open the door quickly. Zuozuo is still very pregnant and can't take a scare."

Chi Moqing remained silent as his father's whip lashed down on his body. Even though his back was already lacerated and bleeding, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Only when he heard Yan Zuozuo crying did he manage to remain calm and say, "Zuozuo, I'm fine. You go with Mom to get some water and watch some TV, okay?"

"I don't want to!" Yan Zuozuo refused resolutely, her voice trembling with tears. "Dad, haven't you always taught Mo Qing to be responsible and grateful? Even if he didn't handle this matter well, he went there for Madam Cai's sake. Do you want him to become an ungrateful and unjust person?"

“That would also avoid Cai Qingqing. He’s a married man, married to you, yet he’s still entangled with other women. How will he set a good example for the children? Wrong is wrong, and I’m not being unfair to punish him!” Chi’s father said sternly, turning to look at Chi Moqing. “You feel wronged?”

"I'm not wronged, this was my fault." Looking back now, he could have avoided this, but his momentary negligence caused harm to Zuo Zuo and the family. He didn't feel wronged at all by being beaten.

"Alright, alright, now that the child knows he was wrong, please open the door quickly," Mrs. Chi said hastily.

Chi's father glanced at Chi Moqing and threw the whip aside. Chi Moqing's back was already torn and bleeding, his clothes soaked in blood. Chi's father finally said coldly, "Go open the door."

Chi Moqing stood up, straightened his back, and opened the door, his forehead covered in sweat. Yan Zuozuo and Chi's mother came in, and when they saw Chi Moqing's battered and bruised appearance, they felt a pang of heartache.

Chi Moqing held Yan Zuozuo in his arms and smiled at his mother, "I'm fine, this is what I deserve."

Chi's mother was heartbroken and rushed to get the first-aid kit, fearing the wound might get infected. Yan Zuozuo didn't dare touch his wound, her eyes instantly filling with tears. Chi Moqing smiled, "Silly boy, why are you crying? You should be punished for doing something wrong."

Yan Zuozuo pouted: "Does this mean we'll do this to our son when he makes a mistake in the future?"

Chi Moqing endured the pain and glanced back at his father, "Is that right, Dad?" This is family law, to be passed down from generation to generation.

Chi's father snorted coldly: "Didn't you see the newspaper article about the father who raised three students to Tsinghua University? There's some truth to the saying 'Spare the rod and spoil the child.'"

"Dad is right." To reassure Yan Zuozuo, Chi Moqing deliberately joked with his father, "From now on, I'll leave my son's education to Dad. I'll try to get him into Tsinghua University."

Yan Zuozuo smiled, her eyes still wet with tears, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Chi Moqing felt a burning sensation on her back, but she still managed a forced smile. "It didn't hurt as much as it did when you saw the video."

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip, reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Mom went to get the medicine, let's go back to the room." After saying that, she smiled at Chi's father, "Dad, I was rude just now, I'm sorry."

Chi's father nodded. Although Yan Zuozuo's words were harsh, it was not hard to see her sincerity towards Chi Moqing. He had really made the right choice in marrying this daughter-in-law.

In the bedroom, Yan Zuozuo took off Chi Moqing's clothes and saw the mottled wounds on his back, her tears flowing even more. She couldn't stop her tears from falling onto his wounds, and Chi Moqing trembled and gasped sharply.

Yan Zuozuo felt even more heartbroken, and tears streamed down her face. Chi's mother took the first-aid kit and, seeing her tear-reddened face, chuckled. "It's alright. Mo Qing's father went through the same thing before. I was just like you back then, crying my eyes out."

Yan Zuozuo, somewhat embarrassed, took the medicine box from Chi's mother and tremblingly applied medicine to Chi Moqing's wound. With tears in her eyes, she pondered that it must be because of the family rules that Chi Moqing didn't want a son.

Although Chi's mother felt sorry for him, she still scolded Chi Moqing, "You child, you are really something. You usually seem to be quite steady in handling things, so why are you so entangled in this matter with Cai Qingqing?"

Chi Moqing looked at Yan Zuozuo apologetically and said solemnly, "I will handle it."

Madam Chi nodded, and as she turned to leave, she suddenly said, "I haven't heard anyone mention Madam Cai's cancer. Mo Qing, shouldn't you check it out first?"

Chi Moqing was stunned. He had never thought that Cai Qingqing would make a fuss about this. Had he really been deceived?

"I understand. Thanks, Mom."

Yan Zuozuo applied the medicine to him, and he clenched his fists in pain, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He didn't know how much time had passed before the medicine was finally applied, and Yan Zuozuo was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Chi Moqing turned around, reached out and hugged her, gently patting her back and saying, "Silly girl, why are you crying?"

Yan Zuozuo didn't speak, nor did she dare to touch his wound. She just looked at the bloodstains on his back and felt waves of heartache.

"Okay, honey, don't cry. Trust me, I was much tougher when I was younger, and I'm fine."

Yan Zuozuo looked at him with teary eyes: "You were quite mischievous when you were young, weren't you?"

Chi Moqing chuckled and whispered in her ear, "You can't imagine how mischievous I am. I'll tell you about it sometime."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, her gaze then falling on his back, and tears welled up in her eyes again. Chi Moqing reached out to wipe away her tears, "As long as you believe in me, I'm happier than anything else. This little injury is nothing."

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip and said after a while, "I believe you. Although we haven't been married for long, I can feel your kindness and how good you are to me. No matter what you do or say, I believe you."

Chi Moqing smiled, holding her with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. "Wife, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well. Whether it's for Mom and Dad, or for you and our daughter, I will give you an explanation."
