His Glamorous Reborn Wife
Chapter 729

Immediately after, there seemed to be the sound of a whip touching flesh. It made one's skin crawl.

"Lanchen, apologize to your father! Don't be so stubborn."

Shi Jin stood up.

Fu Xiuyuan gripped her hand. "You want to help him?"

Shi Jin could tell that he did not want her to interfere in these matters. However, as long as she asked, he would definitely go along with her.

She whispered, "I promised Grandma Bai that I would take care of him. I can't leave him alone completely."

Fu Xiuyuan stood. "I'll stay with you."

Shi Jin's heart was filled with the feeling of being doted on. She knew that every exception he made was for her.

She brushed lightly across his palm. Sensing her mood, he lowered his gaze to hers and looked down.

She tilted her head up and their lips touched. It was a light kiss, but one that held infinite meaning.

Shi Jin walked in the direction of the sounds.

Yue Feng, who had been hitting his son, stopped when

he saw them approaching.

He smiled and said, "Master Fu, Miss Shi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. My unfilial son has also caused you trouble."

"Mr. Yue, Grandma Bai asked me to keep Yue Lanchen on set and let me take care of him. I have a certain responsibility for him not coming back tonight. Therefore, I'm asking you not to punish him severely. Otherwise, even I should be punished," Shi Jin said softly.

She glanced at Yue Lanchen.

His entire body was covered in wounds. It was obvious that Yue Feng did not hold back at all.

Yue Lauchen's face was pale. He bit his lip and remained silent.

Madam Yue was an exquisite woman. She still had tears in her eyes, but she understood that this was Shi Jin's good intentions. She hurriedly said, "How can I blame you, Miss Shi? The last time you were in the Bai family, you saved my mother. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you, but I never did. Lanchen is disobedient, so he must have caused you a lot of trouble. No matter what, you shouldn't be blamed for this. Miss Shi, don't say that."

Her voice was clear and melodious, and when she spoke, her tone was gentle, making it easy for people to like her.

Instinctively, Shi Jin gave her a second look.

Madam Yue had already wiped her tears and said generously, "Lanchen, hurry up and thank Sister Shi."

Yue Lanchen was more obedient to his mother. He

immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Sister Shi."

In the past, he would never have called her that, but tonight he called her that willingly.

Yue Feng had no choice but to give Shi Jin face. "Forget it. I won't punish you tonight."

However, the meaning in his words was obvious. After Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin left, he would be punished heavily.

No matter what happened to Yue Lanchen tonight, he would not show mercy.

Shi Jin looked at Yue Feng and said calmly, "Mr. Yue, actually, Lan Chen can't be blamed for what happened tonight. He did leave the production team today and didn't come back, but there was a reason." Madam Yue was eager to find a reason for her son. She quickly asked, "What reason?"

"When he left the set today, he took a leave of absence from me. Logically, he should be back by ten o'clock in the evening, but halfway through, he must have gone to help the granny selling tea eggs next to the set, and then he was late, right? Because he was late, he happened to meet his friend who dragged him to the bar. He couldn't refuse his kindness, so he had to go, right?"

"How do you know?" Yue Lanchen was surprised that she was so accurate. If he hadn't known that she'd been here this whole time, he would have wondered if she'd seen the surveillance footage. "Usually, that grandmother's tea eggs are sold until midnight because people from the production crew go to buy them after work. Tonight, when I passed by, I saw that she had already closed her stall. Someone must have helped her. Then, after I brought you out of the bar, I could smell the tea leaves on you. I was just guessing."

Yue Lanchen gave her a strange, admiring look.

Madam Yue hurriedly said, "You silly child, why didn't you explain when your father hit you?"

"Will he listen if I explain?" Yue Lanchen lowered his head.

"You!" Yue Feng pointed at him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He didn't look happy.

"I was going out to the crew to buy some things, but I ran into the old granny selling tea eggs. Her car broke down. I helped her sell all the tea eggs and pushed the cart to the place where the car was repaired. I was planning to return to the crew, but I met a friend, so I went to the bar," Yue Lanchen said in a low voice.

His father had never thought about something that even Shi Jin could guess.

He also had mixed feelings.

Madam Yue hugged him with heartache. "You silly child. How silly."

Yue Feng lowered his hand and said nothing.

Madam Yue looked at Shi Jin with her beautiful eyes.

"Miss Shi, I don't know how to thank you for tonight. Our Yue family owes you many times. When I heard that Lanchen went to the bar, I asked people to rush over, but was already a little late. It's all thanks to you."

"It's fine. Since I promised Grandma Bai to take care of him for a while, I naturally have to do my part."

What made Shi Jin feel some sympathy for Yue Lanchen was that this child's nature was not bad. Just based on the fact that he was willing to help the old lady late at night, he was also someone worth helping.

This was why Shi Jin had insisted on following him to help him.

It was only then that Fu Xiuyuan understood. He looked down at his wife, a slight but surging wave in his heart.

"Miss Shi, if you don't mind, let Lanchen continue to work for you to gain experience." The more Madam Yue looked at Shi Jin, the more she felt that they hit it off. She immediately made up her mind. Yue Feng acutely sensed Fu Xiuyuan's conflicting emotions. Perhaps men felt this kind of emotion more deeply.

"I think it's best not to trouble-"

Yue Lanchen had already run to Shi Jin's side and stood still. "Alright, I'll go. I promise not to cause any more trouble."

His back was cold. It was obvious that Fu Xiuyuan's gaze had landed on him, but he didn't care. He was going to stay on set. He wasn't leaving. Nobody could kick him out.

"Brother Xiuyuan, I won't cause trouble!" He was actually a very obedient child and knew how to please people. He smiled at Fu Xiuyuan.

The seventeen-year-old boy who had yet to reach adulthood still had a pure smile on his face. Fu Xiuyuan's jealousy was also slightly appeased, and there was no need to be jealous of a kid. Hence, Fu Xiuyuan said, "Up to you."

Madam Yue immediately felt overjoyed and said, "Alright, it's decided."

Because of the bar incident, Yue Feng had something to tell Fu Xiuyuan, so he invited him over.

"Xiuyuan, come with me to the study."

The two of them had known each other before, but Fu Xiuyuan had always been distant from their circle and had never participated in these things, so they were far apart. However, since he was involved in this tonight, he could not continue to stay away.
