Chapter 118 You must have made a mistake.
After discussing the outcome of the investigation with the production team, An Rui's family forcibly took him home.
Because everyone was so angry at An Rui's behavior, they were all silent and the atmosphere was extremely tense on the way back. It was only then that An Ling realized how outrageous her behavior of rushing to the men's room to grab An Rui had been.
When she learned in the lounge that An Rui's bullying was in progress, she was only focused on rescuing Shen Luo and rushed out without thinking about anything else.
After that, he was so focused on how to deal with An Rui's situation that he didn't have time to think about how to explain his behavior.
Now that everything is resolved, she's starting to worry about this problem.
【Ugh! I can't think of a single excuse to explain why I ran all that way to the men's restroom in another building to catch someone!】
【Twins' telepathy? Bullshit! Anrui and I are no longer twins!】
[How about we collude with Shen Luo? We could say he messaged me privately asking for help?]
No, no, I'm the older sister of the person who bullied him, there's no way he'd help me!
【Or I could just say I've always disliked An Rui and had someone secretly spy on him. It sounds a bit twisted, but it's more believable than saying I have a character lookup tool!】
Anyway, if her family asks, Anling plans to say this, even if she gets criticized, she'll accept it.
As a result, no one asked An Ling this question until they returned to the An family home, leaving An Ling completely baffled.
【Is nobody asking me? That doesn't make sense!】
What about all that excuse I racked my brains to come up with?
Upon arriving home, An Shuhai's first act was to give his unfilial son a beating with a belt. An Rui screamed and cried, his face covered in tears and snot. But no matter how much he begged for mercy and admitted his mistakes, An Shuhai showed no mercy.
"Now you know what pain is? Didn't you know that others felt pain when you hit them?"
"Is this how your mother and I raised you? How did we end up raising such a good-for-nothing!"
An Shuhai slapped someone while cursing An Rui, and none of Pei Yuning and the others said a word to stop him.
"Starting today, you will stay at home and reflect on your actions. You are not allowed to go out without my permission."
An Shuhai instructed the housekeeper to assign tasks to the home security team, ordering them to strengthen their surveillance of the house and absolutely forbid An Rui from stepping out of the house without his permission.
An Rui was clearly dissatisfied with everything that happened tonight, because An Ling saw him give her a look full of resentment.
After being discovered by An Ling, he quickly looked away, and finally limped upstairs and locked himself in his room. The An family could still hear him slamming the door loudly in the living room.
An Shuhai was so angry with his unfilial son that he shook his head. He had no better options than to keep an eye on the boy.
But Anrui is a living, breathing person. Even if he is a father, he can't keep someone locked up for a lifetime, right?
Now, An Shuhai can only hope that he can make An Rui truly realize his mistakes before An Rui makes an even bigger one, and that he can be completely reformed.
Pei Yuning also looked worried. She repeatedly emphasized to her other children, especially An Chong and An Jun:
"If it's just a short period of time, that's fine. But if it goes on for too long, Xiao Rui will definitely find a way to get out. You can't be soft-hearted and help him then."
“And Xiaoling,” Pei Yuning turned to Anling and said, “Thanks to you for discovering this in time, otherwise Xiaorui would have really caused a disaster.”
"Shen Luo is a good kid. Although he refuses our monetary compensation, I will pay more attention to whether there are any suitable resources for him. Since he likes to be an idol, I will try my best to make his future career in the entertainment industry smoother, even if it is just for compensation."
If you and your second brother have the chance in the future, please take good care of him.
An Ling and An Yun both nodded in agreement.
But didn't anyone ask me why I rushed into the men's room?
[You guys are making me a little uneasy... Is this really a normal thing to do?]
An Family: We're just playing along by choosing to turn a blind eye...
……
Now that even An Rui's matter has been resolved, An Ling feels a great sense of relief, as if a huge weight has finally been lifted from her chest.
Now the An family and the Qiu family should be safe, right?
Anyway, we'll deal with whatever comes our way, so what if it's the original novel's plot?
She refused to believe it; with the script and the character lookup tool in hand, what could possibly be difficult for her!
As a result, she was slapped in the face by reality the very next day.
Even with the script in hand, many unexpected things still happened in reality.
At least she never expected that Shen Luo's parents would bring Shen Luo to the An family.
An Ling had just gotten up and entered the living room when she discovered that there were three more people in the house.
She had already met Shen Luo and his father, Shen Honghui, yesterday. Besides them, there was another woman that An Ling had never met before.
She was a very beautiful and dignified woman, but her complexion was paler than average, and she looked rather frail and not in good health.
She sat upright on the sofa, while Shen Luo sat beside her with his head down, remaining silent.
Everyone else in the An family was in the living room, including An Rui, who had been beaten so badly yesterday.
An Ling was the last to arrive. When she came down, she noticed that the An family members didn't look too good, and some even looked rather strange.
【What's going on? Are you dissatisfied with how we handled things yesterday, so you've come to discuss it today?】
[This must be Shen Luo's mother, Yun Xiaoyue, right? I thought she wouldn't care at all about Shen Luo being bullied, but it turns out she actually cares about her son quite a bit.]
Is this what they call having a sharp tongue but a soft heart?
The An family members who heard An Ling's thoughts looked even stranger; they didn't know how to explain the current situation to An Ling.
Unexpectedly, Yun Xiaoyue spoke first.
She looked up at An Ling, her face expressionless, and her voice somewhat cold.
"You must be An Ling? You were the one who saw An Rui bullying Shen Luo yesterday?"
“Yeah…” An Ling was a little confused.
Why do I feel like she's a little hostile towards me?
What Yun Xiaoyue said next left An Ling even more confused.
“You must be mistaken,” Yun Xiaoyue said. “Did you actually see An Rui hit Shen Luo?”
"What do you mean?" An Ling was completely baffled. "When I went in, I saw Shen Luo sitting on the ground with An Rui and the other three people surrounding him. What's wrong with that?"
"So you didn't see An Rui hit Shen Luo, did you?" Yun Xiaoyue continued, "Shen Luo just accidentally fell down, it has nothing to do with An Rui and the others."
