The CEO’s Unkown Wife
Chapter 178 - 178 178 You Should Be Hit_1

Chapter 178: Chapter 178 You Should Be Hit_1 Chapter 178: Chapter 178 You Should Be Hit_1 “Go…” Bo Jingyan didn’t want to see her feeling jubilant because she had managed to protect the baby in her womb that belonged to another man. He coldly left these words and headed downstairs first.

Xia Qingtian took a moment to soothe his emotions on the rooftop, and then followed him downstairs.

After two days of observation at the hospital, the old Mr. Bo was finally approved by the doctor to be discharged and return home.

Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan went together to pick up the elder from the hospital.

Returning to their old mansion, the old Mr. Bo did not rest immediately, but summoned both of them to the family shrine.

As soon as they entered the shrine, the old Mr. Bo yelled out abruptly before anyone else could react.

“Bo Jingyan, kneel!”

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan knelt down without any hesitation.

“Jingyan, how have I raised you? Who allowed you to ignore Qingqing’s wishes and take her to the hospital to abort the child?” The old Mr. Bo held a whip that had been long untouched and asked coldly, “Is this how you usually take care of Qingqing?”

He couldn’t dare to imagine, if not for Officer Lao Lu accidentally witnessing this scene, he might never have known that his great-grandchild was aborted by his own biological father.

Bo Jingyan lowered his gaze, keeping his emotions hidden, and refrained from making any comments.

Seeing his demeanor, the old Mr. Bo was even more enraged, “It seems to me that you have become too overconfident and lawless, daring to harm your own flesh and blood. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, who knows what you will do in the future?”

Today, he would make sure Bo Jingyan learned a harsh lesson, ensuring he would never dare to do such a thing again.

On hearing old Mr. Bo’s words, Xia Qingtian suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Before he could react, suddenly…

“Pah—”

The elder lifted the whip in his hand and it came crashing down on Bo Jingyan’s back.

Bo Jingyan grimaced in pain but did not struggle or resist, he remained kneeling upright as before.

“Pah, Pah, Pah—”

Immediately after, the elder whipped him three more times. “Bo Jingyan, do you realize your mistake now?”

Bo Jingyan’s face turned pale, a thin layer of sweat oozing out from his forehead, but he gritted his teeth in silence, with no signs of admitting his mistake.

He didn’t think he was in the wrong. Xia Qingtian is his woman.

Even if a child is to be born, it should be his child, Bo Jingyan’s, and not any other man’s.

If it were not because the old Mr. Bo’s health could not sustain any shocks, he would still abort that bastard, even if the god himself came to stop him.

Admitting his mistake is impossible!

Seeing Bo Jingyan’s unwillingness to admit his mistake, the old Mr. Bo was afraid he might again cause harm to Xia Qingtian and her unborn baby in the future.

He decided that today, he had to make Bo Jingyan realize his mistake.

“Alright, so you won’t admit your mistake, then I’ll whip you into submission.” He raised his whip, preparing to continue the punishment.

Xia Qingtian had finally come to her senses from the whole ordeal.

“Grandpa…,” she immediately grabbed hold of elder Mr. Bo’s arm, “stop it. This isn’t entirely Jingyan’s fault, please don’t hit him anymore.”

Seeing Xia Qingtian defending Bo Jingyan, and that stubborn boy still maintaining his unrepentant demeanor, the elder became even more furious.

“Qingqing, don’t interfere in this matter. I know you’ve been wronged over this period, I will definitely seek justice for you today.” He patted Xia Qingtian’s hand soothingly, and comforted her kindly.

Then he pulled his arm away from her hold, and turned to Bo Jingyan, putting on his authoritative face, “I want to see whether your obstinacy is harder or my whip.”

Saying so, despite Xia Qingtian’s pleas, he brought the whip down on Bo Jingyan again.

Xia Qingtian saw that her pleas were of no use, and Bo Jingyan’s face was growing increasingly pale. She was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to bear much more.

“Stop…” As old Mr. Bo prepared to whip Bo Jingyan again, she rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Bo Jingyan from behind, attempting to shield him from the next lash.

Bo Jingyan was taken aback. Upon realizing what was happening, the man who had taken so many lashes without any emotional reactions up until this point, suddenly changed his expression.

“Xia Qingtian, Get out of the way!” he roared, trying to push Xia Qingtian away.

Having been disciplined so many times as a child, he knew how painful the whipping would be.

No matter how much Xia Qingtian deceived and betrayed him, he was still unable to control his feelings for her, unwilling to let her suffer any harm.

Seeing Bo Jingyan trying to push her away, Xia Qingtian gripped him tighter.

Bo Jingyan was injured and could not exert much strength, he was unable to push Xia Qingtian away. All he could do was pull her closer into his embrace to protect her, to keep her from being hurt.

Seeing this, the elder halted his hand holding the whip mid-air, a glint of relief flashed in his eyes. At least this annoying young lad still knows to protect Qingqing and not let her get hurt.

But he wouldn’t escape this family punishment today.

“Qingqing, move aside…” the elder advised, “my whip doesn’t have eyes. If you don’t get out of the way, it’s very likely that you might get hit.”

Xia Qingtian defiantly shook her head, “Grandpa, I beg you, please stop. This time, I too, bear a great responsibility. If you must punish someone, let it be me. I don’t fear pain.”

How could the old Mr. Bo hit her? Seeing her reluctance to move, he furrowed his eyebrows and ordered his personal butler Zhang Bo who was standing aside, “Pull Qingqing away.”

Zhang Bo immediately complied.

However, Xia Qingtian’s grip was tight, and fearing that he might hurt the baby in her womb, he didn’t dare to exert too much force.

Xia Qingtian looked back at the elder with teary eyes, her voice choked up.

“Grandpa, if you want to hit someone, hit me. Don’t hit Jingyan anymore. The way you whip him is like torturing my heart. Watching him being beaten is ten, no, a hundred times more unbearable than being beaten myself.”

Seeing this, the elder didn’t have the heart to do so.

And seeing Xia Qingtian defending him like that, would Bo Jingyan finally realize his mistake?

With this in mind, he handed the whip to Zhang Bo, and scolded intensely, “Damn kid, do you see how much Qingqing cares for you? How could you still bear to hurt her and the baby in her womb?”

After he finished speaking, the elder left the shrine with the support of Zhang Bo.

The shrine was empty now, except for Bo Jingyan and Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian retreated from Bo Jingyan’s embrace, and looked at him with concern, “Bo, are, are you alright?”

“I’m fine!” said Bo Jingyan, furrowing his brows, his voice icy.

But just as he finished speaking, his body swayed and he fell forward.
